C29 (2/2)
”There is a door. It's called the back door.” Gu Yicheng looked at the person in front of him who thought he was crazy and stared at them.
Yun Qianliang kept her surprise, pursed her lips and nodded, overturning the awkward scene, she laughed and asked: ”I wonder what business does the Prime Grandmaster have with me?”
”Tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the Yun Xiang Mansion.” Gu Yicheng went straight to the point.
Yun Qianliang's body weakly leaned onto the servant, raising her hand to support his head, ”Recently the weather has turned cold, and I've felt a bit of cold, so I ended up with a bunch of bad things in the Residence of Prime Minister. My head is aching, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back now.”
Last night, he was still investigating the Yun Xiang Mansion at night, and was about to step into the next room. It was clear that he had other intentions, which was why she did not enter.
”Let's talk inside.” Gu Yicheng held his hands behind his back and walked out of the courtyard.
Yun Qianliang touched her nose resentfully and had no choice but to follow along.
The two of them walked closer to the Green Pine Academy. Yun Qianliang never stepped foot in the Qing Hu Tong, and didn't want to entertain Gu Yicheng to the Cloud Water Pavilion either. She decided to just sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, ready to discuss things here and go back to her various places.
”Chun Hua, Qiu Yue go back and tidy up the bed, I want to take a nap later.” Yun Qianliang tactfully dismissed the two servants.
After the two bowed and left, Chun Hua still looked back worriedly after walking far away.
”I don't want to be involved in this power struggle. No matter what you want to find in the Yun Xiang Mansion, that is a matter between you and the cloud phase. The stone chair was cold, and after sitting down, Yun Qianliang wanted to get up.
”The poison in your body must have fallen on the Yun Xiang Mansion. Are you going to wait for death if you don't return?” Gu Yicheng resolutely described the origin of the poison, his gaze landing on the person in front of him. He carefully examined the expression on her face, not moving for an instant.
Yun Qianliang bit his lips, his delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, as if he was still conflicted.
Gu Yicheng did not urge her, but instead looked towards the peony that was still open in the flower bed, and thought of Zhuo Qing reporting it to him before she returned home. Yun Qianliang gave a personally drawn picture of a peony to House of the Marquis of An, which her grandfather liked very much, and praised repeatedly.
Perhaps he had heard too many rumors, and her every action surprised him.
”Can I exchange some terms with the prime minister?” Yun Qianliang sighed, he had made a decision in his heart.
Gu Yicheng nodded, ”Within my capabilities.”
”You intentionally avoided the front courtyard, so you must have known what was going on in the manor. But if someone provokes me, I will definitely return it and it will inevitably cause some changes. After thinking about it, the best way is that in the future, my meals will be the best in the Green Pine Academy, since the Green Pine Academy has a small kitchen to use, why don't you transfer the servant who made me the tonifying soup to the Green Pine Academy to take care of my meals. With that said, Yun Qianliang held onto his chest and laid down on the stone table sorrowfully.
The chance to make a fortune flew out through his fingers.
The astonishment in Gu Yicheng's eyes fleeted. He thought that she would use this opportunity to exchange the antidote, and had actually used it in this place.
That servant called Shui Qin came out to testify, and indirectly brought about today's result. If there were some people who wanted to argue about it, then this servant will definitely not have a good life in the Xiang Fu, if my thoughts are more vicious, I might even lose my life. Yun Qianliang used such a huge bargaining chip, to exchange for a servant's way of life.
”Deal.” Gu Yicheng thought for a bit, then said: ”In a few days, I will borrow two mama from the House of the Marquis of An to teach you some things about beauties, so as to not let others find out when they ask about them.”
Yun Qianliang's face reddened, ”I know what I'm doing, there's no need to specially find someone to teach me.”
It wasn't like she was a brat that hadn't developed yet. Someone specially came to teach her this kind of thing, it made her feel ashamed to hear it.
”The thing under the partition is probably not what you are looking for.” Yun Qianliang was a little unable to stand the hard and cold stone bench. She stood up, and leaked everything she knew, in order to express her sincerity towards their cooperation. She then stared at the peony on the flower bed for a while, before leaving, she said, ”Change the flowers in this garden, if they don't match up to the season, it would bring about trouble.”
Gu Yicheng watched Yun Qianliang's back with interest, the corners of his mouth raised in delight, her mind thinking back to her words of ”the benevolent and the loving”, as the curve on the corner of his mouth deepened.
What a woman.
