”You're not afraid of me eating it at all.”
Gu Yun carried her and put her on his lap. Xie Jingxi was shocked, ”You want to scare me to death!”
Xie Jingxi subconsciously grabbed onto his arm, and then met Gu Yun's smiling eyes. Gu Yun reached out to pinch her nose, ”I thought you had a big heart and you were afraid, huh?”
Xie Jingxi unhappily rolled her eyes at him, ”I want to be petty, can you bear it?”
”You're just kidding me being petty. It's okay, I don't have any objections to you being petty, but your husband is being petty now, how are you going to coax him?”
”Then be narrow-minded, I'll go pack my things.”
Just as Xie Jingxi was about to take this opportunity to get up, she was pulled back by him, and then, a sudden kiss blocked her mouth. Xie Jingxi had more face than Gu Yun, and felt that she didn't have enough face in broad daylight, so she struggled to get up.
Xie Jingxi's days had not even passed when she was already a little angry. Her hands gradually became a little impatient and her hand started to reach into her clothes unknowingly. Xie Jingxi's face was flushed from rubbing and she was gradually starting to feel moved as well.
Just as he was about to clean his gun and start firing, Gu Yun suddenly stopped in his tracks. He buried his face in her as he said a little angrily: ”I really want to eat you in one bite.”
Xie Jingxi did not seem to be as calm as she used to be, as she felt that she must have been led astray by Gu Yun, and was embarrassed to tell the truth. Seeing her expression, Gu Yun chuckled even more, and peck at the corner of her mouth, ”I'll let you go this time.”
Xie Jingxi felt that staying with him for a while longer made her want to eat something bad, so she quickly got up and opened the window. Gu Yun did not tease her anymore, and asked about the matter of going to Minister Palace today, ”Are you used to it?”
”Not bad, Lord Feng's Yulan is pretty good. I was still thinking of moving the Begonia over sometime.” Xie Jingxi poured a cup of tea and passed it to Gu Yun, ”Have you seen Master Feng's little child before?”
Gu Yun swallowed the hot and dry tea in his mouth and looked at her strangely: ”I had hugged her before, but I wasn't looking at his carefully. Why, is there a problem?”
”Hmm, I feel like I'm a bit stupid. I'm afraid it's natural.”
Gu Yun squinted his eyes, he did not know what he was thinking, but after a while he said, ”It's such a pity, it was so easy for Ministry Feng to have a son, it's such a pity.”
”Today, I noticed that Sister-in-law Zou was an interesting person.”
”Hmm?” Gu Yun raised his eyebrows at her, ”Coincidentally, I want to bring you to meet an interesting person.”
Xie Jingxi exclaimed, and purposely teased him, ”Is this an uncle or an uncle?”
”You're asking for a beating, aren't you!”
Xie Jingxi laughed, ”To be honest, you should know that Sister-in-law Zou has a house of Medicine Hall under her name, hearing Bai Cao say that she has managed it very well, I could even coincidentally hear Lady Feng asking for medicine with her, at that time I even thought that Sister-in-law Zou could handle matters, if you switched it with Gu Quan, maybe Second Branch would already be up.”
Gu Yun's finger unconsciously knocked on the table. ”Gu Quan is indeed a little mediocre, but the people in the second house aren't easy to deal with. Pay more attention from the back.”
There was something inside Gu Yun's words. Xie Jingxi muttered to herself: ”From the sound of it, Sister-in-law Zou's accent sounds like she came from the north. I remember that my mother is from the south, but I don't know how she said it to Gu Quan.”
Gu Yun pulled the people who had been busying themselves in the house back to sit by his side, afraid that she would run away again, so he kept her hand in his, his fingers caressing the lines on her hand, thinking to himself that it was so easy to come back early to accompany her, what did she think of his appearance after he ate her.
”Just tell me if you really want to ask me in the future. Don't worry about those who don't get what you want. You're being so courteous to me, I truly love you for nothing.”
Xie Jingxi's forehead was poked by someone, she pouted unhappily, it was because she was afraid that he would be unhappy about her family's matters, she was truly like a mule with good intentions, Xie Jingxi snorted and was just about to ignore him, but her palm was scratched by a cat, causing her to be unable to hold back her laughter, ”Stop messing around, it's itchy to death …”
”I didn't do anything.” ”Let's continue with the serious business. Lady Zou did indeed come from the northeast, she had no mother ever since she was young, and after her father reincarnated, he decided to send her to the capital to seek help from the Marquis Mansion. He probably wanted to help her get married at the Xu family in the capital, so he sent her quite a bit of dowry, and later on he gave it to Gu Quan.”
The Lady Zou was not bad, and had a relationship with a Lady Zeng. The key was that the dowry was generous, and could work well with the second house, so it was no wonder that she did not have a son, and was still confident in the second house.
”You … are you trying to figure something out again? Even if you say you're tired all day, you still won't stop. Don't waste your time thinking about it in the future.” Gu Yun interrupted her train of thoughts, making his feel embarrassed, as if he had been caught doing something bad. Thinking of Imperial Physician Pei's reminder, he felt that he had been spending more time thinking, and decided that when Gu Yun returned, he would not think about it anymore.
