Six eyes met, speechless for a moment.

Sometimes when there are too many coincidences, they become less coincidental.

”Grand Mistress? Eldest Young Master... Why are you guys here? ”

It was Zou Ling. After being surprised, Xie Jingxi did not seem so surprised anymore. She instinctively put on a polite smile, ”Miss Zou Ling, how have you been?”

Zou Ling donned the most ordinary of daily dresses, her face had no makeup, and there was no hair ornament on it, the moment she opened the door, she pounced on everyone's face filled with vitality, her spirit was still the same, and she was as adorable as ever.

”Young master …” No, you can't call me that anymore. Mrs. Gu, are you just passing by or are you just passing by?

Xie Jingxi laughed, and then remembered that the Lady Zeng's ancestral record seemed to be Huainan, ”We were just passing by, and we relied on our ancestors, we did not expect to meet someone we know here.”

Yes, or do you mean to say that we met everywhere in life, I just wanted to take a look at the place where my mother lived, and accidentally walked here, and felt very comfortable, and thus decided to live here. Sigh, why don't you guys come in and take a seat, there's no one inside, it's my little girl attendant.

”How could that be? We'll temporarily settle down in a small yard nearby and come over to play when we're free.”

”Huh? ”That's great, now that you're neighbors, come find me if you have nothing else. I don't lack anything.”

With an expressionless Master Gu, he was unable to continue with his neighbors. Xie Jingxi exchanged a few words with Zou Ling, and ended the conversation that was both shocked and embarrassed, and went back to the small courtyard with Gu Yun.

Xie Jingxi tugged at his face which was about to turn stiff, ”What's wrong with you, little girl? Is there a need to be so cold?

Gu Yun laughed, then took off her dishonest hands, ”Why can't you, a little brat, rest for a while? Have you ever seen that girl and I smiling so much, why don't I knock on the door now and smile for her?”

”I was just teasing you, but I saw that you always had a straight face, so I'm afraid that you might be faking something in your heart. Honestly speaking, you must have seen through Zou Ling's thoughts, I'm not that petty, you don't have to worry about me, putting everything else aside, I really like her, even if she's really living next door, it might be embarrassing for me. If you don't like her, let's go somewhere else.”

Gu Yun bent down and hugged her, ”Didn't I say it before, there are a lot of people who like me, I can't care about them all, and I can't avoid them all either? With your man's face, there will be people looking at him wherever he goes, unless he really lives deep in the mountains or in the forest.

That was true, even if all the girls in the village took a fancy to Gu Yun, only he would not know how to write the word 'awkward'.

”Coming out on such a trip, I really have to get to know you again. That thick-skinned Gu Xuanchen, he makes me speechless. Honestly speaking, when I was hanging out with other girls, there were quite a few of them circling around you right? How could you bear with that?”

”His thick skin is enough to block everything. Don't you think that he is too thick. As long as he is a bit thinner, you will have nothing to do with him.”

”Who cares what you have.”

”Yeah, we couldn't count the number of people surrounding Xi's wife's butt, so of course we don't care about anything.”

Xie Jingxi raised her head and looked at him, ”No, I still find it rare. Really, I have to thank you for your thick skin, it's pretty good, keep it safe, in the future you are not allowed to smile with her, even the ladies in the village are not allowed to.”

Gu Yun pinched her chin and covered his mouth that refused to let him go. After listening for a while, he hugged her again, ”I finally understand how sullen Shen Huanzhi was in the past, it's no wonder he was so bashful, and let you torture him.”

”It is rather disappointing for you to say that. However, he did not make me feel oppressed by torture. If I did not torture him, then he would be even more oppressed.”

Gu Yun could not stop from laughing, ”This is a really good place, there are only eyes everywhere in the capital, if you want to do something you need to close the door, or you need to be at ease here.”

He was at ease now, but the two lords who relied on others to serve had to rely on themselves, the small courtyard had no one to stay in for a long time, so they had to clean up. Ming Yu and Zhao Zhang could not stay here, and did not come over for the time being, so they could only do it themselves.

He could use it to dry in the evening, but he didn't have any food to eat. Since there was no town market nearby, he would need to borrow some water from his neighbors. Hmm, looking at it now, it was still quite good to have a neighbor he was familiar with.
