Chapter 33 - Activities in the night

The flowers in the courtyard were planted by Lu Yao. Over the years, the gardener had come to the courtyard several times, and Qin family had mentioned many times that he would like to regrow some flowers for the Xiao Sheng Yuan. However, Yun Qianliang always rejected him.

This was the shadow of Lu Yao that was the only thing that could be found within the Yun Xiang Mansion.

Yun Qianliang led her people through the courtyard and arrived at the backyard. Her throat felt uncomfortable, and she only told Gu Yicheng a few important places.

Yesterday, when he found out that Gu Yicheng would bring her back, Yun Qinan still sent people to clean the courtyard, and the servants had already moved their things into Xiao Sheng Yuan, while Qiu Yue brought his people to pass on the gifts, of which only Chun Hua was waiting for.

Chun Hua squatted on the roof and smelled a pot of ginger tea using the stove. When she saw his master come in, he stood up to welcome him.

After entering the room, the warmth came again. Yun Qianliang took the outer garment away and passed it back to Gu Yicheng, who put it back on.

After that, Chun Hua carried the teapot and entered the house. Seeing that the outer garment had returned to the original owner's body, she walked towards her without batting an eyelid.

”Madam, please drink some ginger tea to warm your body and not catch a cold.” Chun Hua poured a cup of hot ginger tea and placed it in front of Master. Then, she hesitantly looked at the man sitting on the side, who was sizing up Xiao Sheng Yuan. due to etiquette, she unwillingly asked: ”Master, do you want a drink?”

”Madame has caught a bit of cold, please prepare some for her.” Gu Yicheng waved his hand.

”Indeed, I feel a bit uncomfortable. You must be careful.” Yun Qianliang held his teacup, and stared at the hot air.

”When Madam was still in Yun Xiang Mansion, she didn't like Jiang garlic.” Chun Hua replied sullenly, looking a little like she was deliberately competing with him.

Gu Yicheng glanced at the servant who held hostility towards him, and then looked at Yun Qianliang.

Yun Qianliang raised the corner of his mouth and nodded as she admitted it.

Indeed, she didn't like Jiang Ya, or perhaps it should be said that she actually disliked the taste of Jiang Ya.

In the past, due to her special status, she could not have weaknesses. She had been forced to eat before.

Yun Qianliang picked up the ginger tea, blew his red lips lightly, and then slowly drank it all. He didn't even frown.

Chun Hua watched her master finish her wine and not fill her up again.

Because no one in Gu Xiangfu would care about her preferences, they had to eat them whether they liked her or not, forcing them to accept things they disliked calmly. The more indifferent their master was, the more Chun Hua cared about his master's situation.

”Chun Hua, bring the furnace inside.” The warmth that came from when Yun Qianliang first came back, disappeared after she sat for a while. It was as if a gust of wind had entered her back, making him feel cool.

Chun Hua brought the furnace in, and Yun Qianliang moved a small stool over to sit on it. She stared at the burning coal in the stove and spoke out lazily, raising a serious question.

”In these days in Yun Xiang Mansion, how do I live?” Yun Qianliang placed his hands on his knees, placed his head on his arms, and tilted his head to look at Gu Yicheng, ”Although we have been married for a long time, and are considered a loving couple to outsiders, but in reality, we have never fallen asleep together. In Gu Xiangfu, even without a servant, we are not allowed to enter.

”There's always a first time.” Gu Yicheng was unaffected by the sudden change of events.

Yun Qianliang snorted, extended his hand out, made a hand gesture of counting money, and opened her palm.

”You still have to pay for this?” Gu Yicheng frowned slightly.

What did she think she was?

”You still want me to …” Yun Qianliang suddenly stood up, halfway through her words, her head suddenly felt dizzy, the scene in front of her eyes seemed to be spinning, in that moment, she could hear people talking, but she could not hear them clearly.

Gu Yicheng quickly stood up and supported the person who was heading towards the furnace.

The round stool in front of the table fell to the ground, rolled twice, and was stopped at the table leg.

Yun Qianliang leaned against him for a while, the dizziness in her head gradually receded, and the feeling of it slowly returned.

”You have a fever.” Gu Yicheng touched her forehead and solemnly told her.

Yun Qianliang raised her hand to distance herself from the two of them, as she took half a step back to pull the distance between them.

”It's fine. I just need to rest for a while.” Yun Qianliang walked in, ”Go ahead.”

It was late autumn and the night was quiet. There were a few stars scattered above his head.

The silence in Yun Xiang Mansion was suddenly broken as candles and flames lit up one after another, followed by sounds.

Outside of the Xiao Sheng Yuan's door, Gu Shisan and Gu Shisi stopped the butler and bodyguards of the Yun Xiang Mansion. Both parties had their own opinions and the atmosphere became tense.

”Yun Xiang Mansion is making trouble for the assassins. Prime Minister is worried for Eldest Miss and Young Master's safety and has sent us here to protect you. Isn't it shameful for Imperial Guard Gu to stop us like this? Can we not go in to protect you?” The Housekeeper Liu relied on his numbers and his words were not inferior to others. His despicable appearance made people disgusted.
