C229 What is your relationship with the Gu family?!
I'm afraid that if he follows you, you'll be stuck with Gu Wu. As for your Third Young Madam, a bunch of servant girls, old lady, and Gu Baifu, he won't be able to take care of them. And my second brother, he definitely won't care about all that.
"Clan elder?"
Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, then Gu Xin pulled his horse and left.
Leaving Gu Wen by himself, he chased far behind, yet did not dare shout out loud, feeling extremely regretful in his heart, he anxiously stomped his feet, remembering that every time this master went running away, it was only as an excuse, which time did he not go to see Mian Niang.
Gu Yue left the house and rode his horse towards Tian Jia Wan without thinking.
Glistening Fragrance walked over and bowed to the two of them. "Martial Lord?"
Gu Wu frowned: "What are you doing here?"
"I heard that Third Young Master is back and would like to meet him. "I want to talk to him …"
As expected, this was the only thing that happened. Gu Wu hurriedly interrupted Glistening Fragrance's words, "Young master, you've returned home late, we'll talk about it in the future. Go back to your own courtyard and stay there for the time being."
He hurriedly wanted to send her away, but he was afraid that the people around him would suddenly ask him something.
He hadn't been able to find a suitable job these few days, so he didn't want to let Glistening Fragrance see anyone.
Forget about having Jiang Ting by his side right now, just the maids and servants by the new Young Mistress' side all looked hard on them.
If they found out that their young master and young mistress had a different relationship, it would be because their young master had someone else in mind. A mere Mian Niang, he would definitely be eaten by Prince Rong's Mansion and the rest.
Glistening Fragrance recognized Jiang Ting but she did not expose him on the spot. Thinking about how Gu Wu chased her out of the lawsuit, she immediately turned around and left with a sense of relief.
However, when he thought back to Jiang Ting's calm and collected gaze, he could not help but feel slightly disappointed in his heart. It was as if he did not recognize me at all?
Gu Wu watched as Glistening Fragrance left, he then noticed that Jiang Ting's gaze was also on her, and immediately became anxious, and said: "A servant girl, reckless and senseless, truly not enough, let's go, I'll bring you to your residence."
Jiang Ting retracted his gaze, and did not ask too many questions.
As expected, Gu Wu was placed in the most corner of the house.
Jiang Ting stood in the courtyard and looked at the tall trees by the side of the courtyard walls with a calm and collected gaze.
Putting aside the fact that they were very far from Gu Xin's courtyard, even the servants' quarters in the backyard were very far away. There was even a large forest in the middle of the area.
As long as Gu Xin didn't want to see him, no one would know if he stayed here for a year.
The room seemed to have been empty for a long time. There were only simple furnishings and dust everywhere.
Gu Wu acted good even after getting the cut: "Mr. Jiang, I know you love peace, this is the most peaceful place in the entire house."
The inside of the house was colder than outside. Gu Wu didn't want to stay inside and stood outside the door to talk to Jiang Ting: "I'll get them to get a stove later. I'll clean up this place on the way.
Jiang Ting looked around at the trees and nodded.
Looking at the two of them, there was nothing better than staying away from each other.
Gu Wu thought that although this person was not pleasing to the eyes, he was still quite tactful.
"Then you should rest first. Someone will come over later to clean up."
Gu Wu turned and walked out. Unexpectedly, Gu Wen hurried over and the two of them bumped into each other.
Gu Wu was confused: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Wen looked at Jiang Ting who was standing at the door like a log, and whispered Gu La's instructions into Gu Wu's ear.
Gu Wu clicked his tongue, "Young Master can't take it anymore?"
He knew that Gu Xin would definitely come to see Mian Niang, but he didn't expect that Gu Xin would go right now.
Hearing Gu Wu's words, Jiang Ting frowned slightly.
When Gu Wu and Luo Hua City Mistress looked at him, his expression had already returned to normal.
He turned around and entered the house.
Gu Wu felt a headache looking at that back, he used his arm to twist Gu Wen's body and said softly: "Go, I really have nothing to say to him."
Gu Wen dodged: "If you don't have anything to say, then I have something to say?"
"Then what should we do?" Gu Wu never thought that a mere hanger-on from the Prince Rong's Mansion would make them scratch their heads like this.
The two of them were already used to dealing with all kinds of people by Gu Xin's side, and could barely be considered as having long sleeves and nimble movements. However, they didn't know what to say to this person.
He couldn't just sit there and stare at her.
Gu Wen reminded him: "Isn't it to clean up the house? Get more people to ask him if he has any requests, wouldn't that trip him up?"
"What joke are you playing at? Not to mention the other things, just about him helping the evil and injuring Little Song, we can't possibly treat him as an important guest. With a roof over his head and three meals fixed, and a stove to give him some carbon, it would already be magnanimous enough not to let him freeze to death and starve to death."
Gu Wen shook his head: "Actually, there's no need to be this careful, he still doesn't know that the young master has left the mansion, so what if he does, how would he know that the young master has gone to find someone, it's better if he quickly find someone to clean up his room, and let him silently stay there and not wander around."
Gu Wu nodded, he felt that it made sense, and the two walked out side by side.
Gu Wu said, "There is one more thing that I did not tell you, Glistening Fragrance is back!"
"Glistening Fragrance?" Gu Wen could not hide his astonishment, "Why is she back? Shouldn't she take the money that Young Master gave her and go live her carefree life? Why did you come back just at this moment? "
"I was tricked, I almost lost my life. It's not easy to come back alive, I don't have any money on me. I don't want to go back to the Ten Thousand Flowers House, where else can I go?"
Gu Wu sighed as well, "I was also thinking that we shouldn't let the people around Young Mistress see this, in case any problems arise. If Young Mistress finds out about the relationship between Young Master and Mian Niang, I'm afraid that poor mother and orphans will suffer again."
"Yeah, that's right. It really makes me worry."
Gu Wen thought about it once more. Not only did he not want the people of the Prince Rong's Mansion to know about this, he also didn't want Second Young Master to know about all the things his young master had done, and honestly speaking, he couldn't let any of them get onto the stage. Now that the Gu family saw the situation, it was clear that their heir position was going to land on Gu Xin's side.
Being reminded of this by him, Gu Wu immediately wished for nothing more than to die, "What should we do now, why do you think the young master is so obsessed with ghosts?"
Gu Wen's face was full of melancholy: "How would I know? Right now, I only hope that Mian Niang's character is firm enough and won't be moved by Young Master.
Gu Wu shook his head: "I think it's difficult. That Mian Niang knew about the matter of Glistening Fragrance and Sai Sien Xian for a long time without speaking up. She was obviously moved by Young Master's affection …"
"She knows? How did she know? "
Gu Wen grabbed Gu Wu's arm and asked anxiously: "You said it?"
"Don't pinch me, I really didn't say anything about this. She guessed it herself."
"You nodded when she guessed?"
Being stared at like that by Gu Wen, Gu Wu felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, so he nodded and did not deny it.
Gu Wen was disappointed. He patted his shoulder and only spoke after a long while: "Say, why are you so stupid? How did you manage to say all these things?"
Gu Wu had originally been feeling guilty, but after being criticized like this, he was immediately unconvinced: "I already said, she guessed it himself, she's not stupid, at that time, I didn't think about hiding it from her, and let her know how many things Young Master had done for her, and also let her understand, that if Young Master's feelings were to be given out, she would have to shoulder it. Besides, don't you think that it would be a good thing if she could stay by your side, young master? Her mother and brother are both being supported, so she doesn't have to work that hard. "
"You better shut up. You don't know what's going on in the house right now. Aren't you causing trouble for the young master? If the young master knows that you've leaked the news, he definitely won't let you off."
Gu Wen didn't want to waste any more words with him and quickly walked toward the courtyard.
Gu Wu still thought that what he thought was right, but Gu Wen had already walked far away, no matter how unconvinced he was, he could only hold it in.
Jiang Ting stood at the door and thought about what he had just heard. He felt uneasy in his heart.
Mian Niang was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. If she was willing to yield to Gu Han, she would have submitted a long time ago, no need to drag things this far. Gu Ma was still pestering Mian Niang, and would probably only cause him more trouble.
However, there was one more thing that needed to be verified.
Jiang Ting carried his sword and walked out of the forest, towards the servant's room.
Everyone in the old house was busy doing a round and round, until only Glistening Fragrance was left. When Gu Wu had said the words at the start, Gu Baifu did not assign her a job, but he had gone out for a circle just now, and Gu Wu had found out and chased his back.
She could only sit quietly on the fire brick bed in the room, hugging her legs as she thought about her own thoughts.
He didn't expect to meet that person again here, and he didn't know who that person really was. Looking at Gu Wu's appearance, she was obviously on guard against him, so it seemed that his act of not recognizing him today was the correct one.
However, it seemed like he really did not remember her.
Glistening Fragrance couldn't help but feel a faint sense of loss when she thought of that pair of black, bright, and sharp eyes.
Even though she was adept at matters between men and women, it was only limited to physical relationships. For her to be moved like this, it was definitely her first time doing such a thing.
He couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. He could only think of how sweet it felt to be here, and then how sour it felt to be here.
He swung his legs and thought, if that person recognized him as the person he saved, what would he say?
She had the look of a little girl and was still in a daze when the door opened from the outside.
She suddenly raised her head, seeing the person that she had been thinking about just now actually appear in front of her. She was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
"What is your relationship with the Gu Clan?" Jiang Ting asked.
"Clan elder?"
Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, then Gu Xin pulled his horse and left.
Leaving Gu Wen by himself, he chased far behind, yet did not dare shout out loud, feeling extremely regretful in his heart, he anxiously stomped his feet, remembering that every time this master went running away, it was only as an excuse, which time did he not go to see Mian Niang.
