Chapter 2 How is this possible?

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention instantly shifted to Lin Wanniang, thoughtfully.

Lin Wanniang felt a little guilty when she was seen, and her voice couldn't help but weaken.

Gu Wanyu snorted secretly,
  Seeing that Lin Wanniang was being held back by everyone, she walked out and took Xiao Huan back to the yard.

"Xiaohuan, pack your luggage." After explaining, he went to the inner room to change clothes.

After the change came out, Xiaohuan still didn't move. Instead, he came closer to her,

"Miss, it's just a failure this time. The head of the house has always liked you, so you shouldn't be punished severely. You're not going to leave the house!"

Gu Wanyu looked at her behavior and suddenly wanted to laugh.
  "Besides, even if you leave the house, what can you do?"

Seeing that she was silent, Xiaohuan gritted his teeth and spoke directly.
  "The skills you have learned all day long, even if you leave the house, are just serving people. In Yangzhou, without the introduction of the head of the family, what kind of power can you climb?"

"So, you don't want to come with me?" Gu Wanyu shook the placket of her skirt and looked at Xiaohuan with dark eyes.

Xiaohuan lowered his head, "It's not that I don't want to leave with the young lady. It's really because the slave's contract of sale is in the hands of the master, so I can't leave even if I want to."

That means I don’t want to!

Gu Wanyu looked away lightly,
  "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. It's a matter of master and servant. Before I leave, I will ask the master for mercy and let you go."

"Miss, I'm so merciful. I'm very grateful." Xiaohuan didn't take it seriously.
  It seemed that he didn't believe that she had the dignity to intercede for her.

Gu Wanyu didn't care, she just did it by herself, simply and quickly packed up and bowed.
  Just after she finished cleaning up, the head of the house outside came to send a message and asked her to go to the front hall.

Gu Wanyu put down the baggage in her hands and walked slowly to the flower hall under Xiaohuan's surprised eyes.

Du Yueniang is also there,
  Seeing her coming, he moved his eyebrows slightly and showed a provocative smile,

"Mother Yu, you're here too. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Mr. Hou to be so impatient when he was drunk. He just took me there... Oh, look at my mouth. What are you talking about?"

Du Yueniang pretended to be aware of it and covered her mouth. She smiled coquettishly and changed the subject.
  "Anyway, I feel sorry for my sister about this matter. I will help persuade the head of the family to forgive you later."

Gu Wanyu quietly dodged her outstretched hand,

"I know my sister is blaming me, but this is really not my intention. You also know that these are the orders of the Marquis. How can I dare to disobey."

Du Yueniang's hypocritical manner was really disgusting. Gu Wanyu's eyes drifted over and said, "There is no one else here."

Immediately afterwards I received a blank stare.

Du Yueniang tossed the veil in disgust, "It's been all this time, Gu Wanyu, who are you showing off to?"

"Why, are you so sure that the Marquis from Shengjing will let you follow him?" Seeing that Du Yueniang stopped pretending, Gu Wanyu sneered from the corner of her mouth,
  Du Yueniang held her temples and looked sure of victory, "I don't need to worry about it anymore, just think more about yourself."

"Hahaha……"

The sound of laughter coming from outside the door made Gu Wanyu and Du Yueniang straighten their expressions at the same time.

The next moment, the round figure of the head of the family appeared in front of him.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Yue Niang, you did a good job."

"I don't dare to accept the praise of the family master. Serving the family master is what Yueniang should do."

"Oh, there is no need to be modest. The Marquis is very satisfied this time. He said that he will take you to the capital and stay with you to serve you. There are five hundred taels of silver notes in this box. You can take it and count it as a gift from the master of the family."

Du Yueniang's eyes immediately lit up, she looked at Gu Wanyu proudly, and accepted it with great gratitude.
  "Master, although the Marquis insisted on letting Yue Niang serve last night, after all, it was Yu Niang you arranged first. Now with this result, Yue Niang feels guilty and wants to beg you not to punish Yu Niang severely. younger sister."

The head of the family waved his hand and said, "Hey, how could it be? Although Yu Niang was unable to serve the Marquis last night, the Marquis ordered that Yu Niang and you should accompany him to the capital."

"Ah? How is this possible?"

Du Yueniang lost control and screamed,
  Gu Wanyu looked over with light eyes, and the head of the family also frowned and stared at her.
  Only then did Du Yueniang react, coughing slightly to cover up,
  "Ahem, Master, Yueniang doesn't mean anything. It's just that the Marquis has never met Yu Niang. Why did he suddenly bring Yu Niang to Beijing with him? Is it wrong?"

"You don't have to worry about this. The Marquis has his own considerations."

The head of the house turned a deaf ear to the expectation in Du Yueniang's tone. He turned around and took out another box and looked at her.
  "Mother Yu, here is the same five hundred taels. It is the owner's wish."

Gu Wanyu didn't refuse, and obediently reached out to take it, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing her take it, the head of the house nodded with satisfaction, then sat on a chair nearby, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"You two are going to Beijing with the Marquis this time, and you will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth. The master of the family is really happy for you."

"Sisters have been taken in by their master since they were young. They have good food and clothing, and are served by servants in their accommodation and transportation. Now they can enjoy the glory and wealth. It is really the work of the master who has been kind to us."

"Yes, without the master of the house, there would be no slaves. Today, the master of the house is so kind that the slaves will never forget it."

"Okay, okay, I saw you right. I don't ask for anything else. I will be satisfied if I can see that you have a good home."

Gu Wanyu watched him quietly from the initial difficulties to the mental and physical exhaustion behind his wealth over the years.
  When I talk about the emotional part, I can’t help but burst into tears.
  Then he raised his hand slightly and wiped the corners of his eyes, silently crying together.
  "Therefore, the master of the house has specially prepared two pills to nurse you two back to health."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment.

Du Yueniang looked at the reddish-brown pills on the table, her face became very ugly, "Master, this, this is..."

"Why, you can't trust my master?"

"No, no, it's just..." Du Yueniang wanted to say something more,
  Gu Wanyu took a step forward, picked up one of the pills, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Du Yueniang's eyes widened, "You!"

Gu Wanyu didn't even look at her, she just stood aside silently after eating.
  The head of the house glanced at her with satisfaction, and then looked at Du Yueniang expressionlessly.
  Du Yueniang was helpless, gritted her teeth, picked up the pill and swallowed it.

The head of the house then returned to his usual warm demeanor and gave them a few more instructions before ordering them to go down and pack their luggage.
  Du Yueniang stepped away with a pale face, but Gu Wanyu stood still.

"Why, Madam Yu, do you have anything else to do?"

"I have something to ask my master."

"But it doesn't matter."

"This slave has left the house and gone to Shengjing. There is no one around him. I would like to ask the master to be kind and let Xiao Huan, who is serving the slave, go with the slave family."

"This is a trivial matter, Lu San!"

As soon as the head of the house finished speaking, the chief outside came in casually.

"Go and find Xiaohuan's contract of sale and give it to Yu Niang."

"Yes."

"Thank you so much, Master," Gu Wanyu bowed again, "Mother Yu will bear in mind your great kindness."

Seeing the head of the family waving his hands nonchalantly, he followed Lu San to the management office of the house.
