Holding the fish food with his fingertips, Ji Qingyue plunged into the pond. His face was paler in the sun, but his eyes were bright. Looking at those eyes, Gu Minghe felt a slight throbbing in his heart.

The system screen popped up suddenly, blocking Ji Qingyue's eyes.

[Currently, your lover's favorability towards you is 60. 】

[Currently, your lover's favorability towards you is 70. 】

Ji Qingyue threw down the fish food, clapped his hands, and smiled contentedly.

……

Ji Qingyue discussed with Gu Minghe and had lunch directly in the pavilion. The sun was very strong at noon and there was still no wind, so Gu Minghe agreed.

There happened to be fish on the table during lunch, so Ji Qingyue put a large piece of fish on his small plate, carefully removed all the thorns, and put the fish on Gu Minghe's plate.

Gu Minghe was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at him.Seeing Ji Qingyue's eyes full of anticipation, he felt a little funny in his heart. Sure enough, every time Ji Qingyue was courteous, he wanted to gain favorability. He smiled and fulfilled Ji Qingyue's wish.

[Currently, your lover's favorability towards you is 80. 】

Ji Qingyue gave Gu Minghe another piece of fish with its bones removed.

The favorability cannot be increased continuously, so Gu Ming exchanged courtesy with Li Shang, and also picked up a piece of fish meat and handed it to Ji Qingyue's bowl.

Ji Qingyue looked at the fish in the bowl, and stopped feeding himself.

He ate a few pieces of fish that Gu Minghe picked up, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Shengfei running over.

Because he was reminded by Gu Minghe, Ji Qingyue didn't dare to underestimate Gu Sheng who was only eight years old.Gu Sheng was still very enthusiastic, and wanted to come over to cling to him, and he didn't make a fuss when he was slipped away by Gu Minghe, but he just looked at Ji Qingyue eagerly, reaching out his hand from time to time to grab the corner of Ji Qingyue's clothes.

Ji Qingyue looked at him, Gu Sheng let go of his hand immediately, and obediently sat upright in his seat.

If Gu Sheng wasn't an NPC suspected of being a murderer, but looked like a well-behaved, sensible and good-looking young man, like a passionate little sun, it would be hard for anyone to hate him.

Gu Sheng just stayed for a meal, and Gu Sheng didn't leave after the meal, Ji Qingyue sat up and didn't get up, he also sat still while watching Ji Qingyue.

Gu Minghe glanced at him, with undisguised indifference in his eyes: "When are you leaving?"

Gu Sheng turned his head to look at him, smiled, and said with a big smile, "I won't leave, I want to play with my sister-in-law here."

"Have you finished your homework today?" Gu Minghe asked coldly.But Gu Sheng didn't seem to feel Gu Minghe's indifference, and he still smiled enthusiastically: "Of course I'm done, don't worry, brother, I will not affect my studies if I play with my sister-in-law. My grades are very good. They all praise me."

Gu Minghe looked even colder.

Without realizing it, Gu Sheng turned his body sideways and wanted to get closer to Ji Qingyue.

Gu Minghe got up and lifted Gu Sheng up.Gu Sheng struggled for a while, raised his head and tried to look at Gu Minghe: "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Take you back to do your homework." Gu Minghe looked down at him.

Gu Sheng: "But I've finished my homework. I said it just now. Brother, didn't you hear?"

Gu Minghe was unmoved, and even raised it higher: "I heard, you can do your homework again."

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled: "Ah? Why should I do it again? Brother, let me down."

Gu Minghe carried him outside, until he reached the outside of the courtyard, and then put Gu Sheng down, looked down at Gu Sheng who was standing upright: "You can do whatever you want after you go back, don't come here to disturb your sister-in-law again."

Gu Sheng was a bit unconvinced, but seeing that Gu Minghe's face was filled with indifference and fierceness, he only muttered a few words in the end, and didn't dare to choke with Gu Minghe, and turned away reluctantly.

Ji Qingyue sat in the pavilion, resting his elbows on the table, resting his cheeks with his palms, watching Gu Minghe carry Gu Sheng out, and then turned back.

Afterwards, Ji Qingyue plans to take a nap. He is not in good health now, so he needs to take a lunch break, but the rest cannot just rest like this. He intends to take this opportunity to let Gu Minghe increase his favorability.

So after going back to the room and drinking the medicine, Ji Qingyue looked at Gu Minghe who seemed to be about to leave, walked over and grabbed him.

Gu Minghe looked down at the held hand, then raised his head to look at Ji Qingyue: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Ji Qingyue took his hand and moved it, his fingertips slid across the palm, causing a little itchiness, as if he wanted to let go and forced himself to hold his hand, and said softly to him: "I'm going to take a nap."

"Well, go to sleep." Gu Minghe nodded.

Ji Qingyue looked into his eyes, suppressed his nervousness, and said in a gentle and serious voice, "Can you sleep with me?"

"Huh?" Gu Minghe didn't seem to understand, and was a little confused.

Ji Qingyue could only repeat it again: "Can you stay with me and take a nap with me."

Gu Minghe looked at him deeply, stared at him for a while, and only said "forget it" when Ji Qingyue wanted to regret it: "Yes."

"Really?" Ji Qingyue ignored Gu Minghe's somewhat dangerous eyes, and could already see the favorability rushing towards him.The hand holding Gu Minghe was released immediately.

He walked to the bed, took off the skirt on his body, and when he was about to put it aside, the skirt was taken by Gu Minghe.

"Thank you." He turned his head to look at Gu Ming and the skirt in his hand, and thanked him a little uncomfortable.

Gu Minghe looked down at him, "No need."

Hanging up the skirt, Gu Minghe also took off his outer robe, leaving only the white middle coat. After Ji Qingyue lay down on the bed, he followed him and lay on the outside of the bed, looking down at Ji Qingyue, his eyes were filled with emotions deep.

[Currently, your lover's favorability towards you is 90. 】

Listening to the system's voice, Ji Qingyue closed his eyes.

……

When he woke up and opened his eyes, it was already dark outside. Ji Qingyue didn't know how long he had slept, but it felt like four or five hours.

"Are you awake?" He heard Gu Minghe ask.

Ji Qingyue nodded.

"Do you want to get up? Or sleep a little longer?" Gu Minghe looked down at him and asked.

Ji Qingyue propped himself up with his arms, and slowly sat up, "Get up."

Gu Minghe sat up immediately after getting out of bed, instead of putting on his clothes first, he took a few steps to pick up Ji Qingyue's dress hanging on the hanger, walked back and put it on Ji Qingyue's lap, and then went to wear it clothing.

Ji Qingyue watched Gu Minghe get dressed and asked someone to bring in hot water. After getting dressed, he got off the bed and walked to the sink to wash his face.

The painting pavilion that Duan Shui came in did not go out, she stood beside Gu Minghe, and said that she had something to ask Gu Minghe to deal with.Since Gu Minghe wanted to act as a character, he had to abide by the setting, so Ji Qingyue often couldn't see him.

He saw Gu Minghe nodded, then glanced at him, Ji Qingyue smiled, "Go and do your work."

After Ji Qingyue finished speaking, he glanced at Huating. It should be the first time Huating heard him speak, but he didn't respond at all, probably because he knew his identity before.

Gu Minghe nodded and followed Huating out.Ji Qingyue sat down by the bed again, resting his chin on his hands, thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, the door was knocked open, Ji Qingyue took a look and found that it was Zhuye who was poking in.Ji Qingyue didn't sit up straight either, but watched the bamboo leaves not move, as if waiting for her to move forward.

Zhuye walked quickly to Ji Qingyue's side, saluted, and then reported in a low voice: "Young master, I have asked this servant and got some news, but I don't know if it is true."

Ji Qingyue nodded: "Then let's talk about it first."

Zhuye said in a low voice: "Master, this Gu's house looks like a good place, but like other families, the water is very deep. This Gu's house has always had a good reputation outside, and the owners are kind-hearted people who often help the poor. Man, the only person with a bad reputation in Gu's mansion is the young master of Gu's mansion, the current young patriarch. You also know, young master, that the young patriarch...has a bad reputation for his wife, and the young patriarch's temper is not very good, but the strange thing is , Gu Fu said that he loves the Young Patriarch very much, but he never clarified anything to the Young Patriarch, and the Young Patriarch himself doesn't care about his reputation, and it seems that he doesn't care at all about whether he can marry a wife in the future."

Ji Qingyue nodded.

Zhuye continued: "I think there must be something hidden in this matter, but when I asked, they all kept a secret look. I didn't find out anything, but I found something else."

"The old lady of Gu's mansion has always been a person who likes to worship Buddha. She treats people with kindness and kindness on weekdays, and has an amiable personality, but the servants heard that she likes to beat and scold servants. This year, two maids were beaten to death by her for trivial matters, so now No one dared to go there."

Ji Qingyue pondered, sure enough, this old lady has a big problem.

"What about the others? Did you find out?"

Zhuye nodded: "Other people did not beat and scold the servants, but Patriarch Gu did not love his wife as much as he appeared on the surface. He heard that he had two concubine outside. I heard that the current wife is still the Patriarch's childhood sweetheart. Later, the family fell into decline and was not worthy of the Gu family. It is said that the head of the family has always loved his wife deeply, but was forced by his elders to marry the biological mother of the young head of the family. After the former wife died of illness, the head of the house wanted to marry her back, but the current wife did not Promise, Patriarch Gu spent several years before finally marrying back the person he likes. At that time, Patriarch Gu was already six years old."

Ji Qingyue said "hmm", looked up at her, and asked, "How about the wife of the Gu family?"

He still remembered the poisonous peanut longan and red dates that Madam Gu sent on the bed on the wedding night.

Zhuye obviously also remembered: "Young master, I feel that Mrs. Gu may have been framed for the incident on the wedding night."

Ji Qingyue raised his eyes: "Why do you say that?"

Zhuye: "After I inquired about this servant, I found out that Mrs. Gu is really kind. She is good to everyone and her servants. There is no one in the house who doesn't like Mrs. Gu. However, there is indeed a story about Mrs. Gu. Madame's rumor."

Ji Qingyue: "What is it?"

Bamboo leaf moved closer to Ji Qingyue's ear, and whispered in a low voice: "My servant heard that Mrs. Gu is infertile, and the second young master in this mansion is not Mrs. Gu's own son."

Ji Qingyue frowned, "How did you know about this kind of thing?"
