Clothes 028

  Madam Jin's words left Li speechless, and after a long while, she slightly raised her eyes and said, "Yes, the whole city knows about the embarrassing incident at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet."

  The old woman heard this and knew that Mrs. Li had already made up her mind, and said: "I will find an opportunity to hand the thing over to Gu Yu."

  "Mother, can that girl be trusted?" Li asked, there were some things that either weren't done, or if they were, she wouldn't permit any accidents to happen.

  "Madam, rest assured that girl has done a lot for me already. We're on the same boat, and even if I wanted to get rid of her, there's no way."

  "Miss, this is the new seasonal clothing. The second lady said that this set is made of soft smoke gauze, just right for wearing at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in a few days." Gu Yu held up the new seasonal clothing and presented it to Qing Luan, "This dress is really good, from afar it looks like misty fog, why don't you try it on?"

  Qing Luan raised her eyes slightly, but in her heart, she understood that this must be Li's trick to make his own daughter shine at the banquet by taking out the imperial gifts from the warehouse.

  "Just put it there." Qing Luan said lightly and refocused her attention on the book in her hand.

  Valley Rain was choked by Qing Luan's coldness, and she had originally wanted to speak well of the second wife in front of Qing Luan, but now it seemed unnecessary. After some thought, she could only put away those clothes.

  "I'm a bit hungry, go to the kitchen and see if there are any freshly baked pastries." After reading for another half an hour, Qing Luan instructed Yu Yu, who was standing by waiting on her.

  "Miss, why don't I make some horse hoof-shaped cakes for you myself? Didn't you used to praise my horse hoof-shaped cakes?" Gu Yu had been trying her best to curry favor with Qing Luan during the Grain Rain season. On one hand, it was because of the sense of crisis brought by the summer solstice, and that girl didn't know if she had burned incense or not, but suddenly she had entered Miss's eyes, and the extent of her favoritism had already subtly surpassed hers. On the other hand, it was because she wanted Qing Luan to take her to the Chrysanthemum Banquet.

  Qing Luan gave her a condescending glance and nodded slightly without committing to anything. Gǔ Yǔ happily went to the kitchen.

  After Tai Yu went out, Xia Zhi walked into the house with a gloomy face.

  "Miss, the powder under the pillow of Guyu is a hypnotic drug." Xia Zhi whispered to Qing Luan's side.

  Qing Luan wasn't as angry as Xia Zhi, in her eyes, Gu Yu had long been a useless chess piece. The reason she still let him occupy the position was simply because she didn't want to let other pieces take his place.

  "Miss, what exactly does Gu Yu want to do?" Xia Zhi said with some resentment, they were both chosen by the mistress and had already become the main maidservants by Miss's side, but she just couldn't understand why Gu Yu wanted to betray her master.

  The second house is good, but after all, the Wei family's mansion is still the main house. They serve Miss with utmost loyalty and dedication. When the time comes, will Miss not consider their well-being?

  "Whatever you want to do won't be a good thing." Qing Luan's red lips slightly opened, coldly spitting out a few words.

  "You go and exchange that package, remember to use something similar, can't let Gu Yu discover it." Looking out the window for a while, seeing Gu Yu walking in with a lunchbox, Qing Luan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

  Summer solstice slightly startled, hurriedly lowered his head and left.

  At the door, she ran into Yu Yu. When Yu Yu saw her, he paused for a moment, then snorted coldly and turned his head to enter the house.

  Xia Zhi didn't bother her either, and quietly shook his head, then hurried out to take care of Qing Luan's orders.
