The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

This glazed pomegranate is really dazzling,

In the room, Xiaohuan and Zhuer both ignored the rules for a moment and stared straight at it without blinking.

Even Gu Wanyu couldn't hold back and raised her hand to stroke the crumbling water droplets.

The touch is as warm as jade, with a little bit of coolness,

In this sultry summer night, it is particularly refreshing,

Gu Wanyu tapped again,

This is the most valuable reward she has ever received from Song Jingzhang.

"Master, I treat you so well! I have never seen such a finely crafted glass ornament before!"

Zhu'er on the side also nodded, "This glass is a rare thing. You can't find such a big one easily. But now it has been carved into such a lifelike pomegranate. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance."

Gu Wanyu's mouth showed a faint smile, but it was more genuine than before.

Even though she doesn't like pomegranates, she has no plans to get pregnant.

Looking at this exquisite ornament now, I can’t even say no.

"Put it on the table next to the chessboard outside. It will look festive."

Song Jingzhang was probably happy when he came and saw it.

Xiaohuan responded and immediately held it carefully.

"Have you ever given a reward to the person who came to deliver something?"

"Yes, it's all according to the past practice. The rewards around me are always the richest purses." Zhu'er quickly replied,

Then he seemed to remember something, "But the person who came here today to give the reward is not Jin Er who comes here every day. He looks very unfamiliar."

"Maybe something happened, so let's change someone temporarily." Gu Wanyu didn't take it to heart.

Song Jingzhang didn't like her asking about things around him, so she didn't bother to ask more about these people.

Just know that he is not here to harm her.

"Master said it is true." Zhu'er responded without taking it seriously.

At this time, Guoer came in through the curtain.

"Madam, someone from the dining room said that dinner is ready. Do you want to pass it on now?"

"Pass it on."

Gu Wanyu got up and walked outside, washing her hands and preparing to eat.

In the past few days, the fighting among the servants in the main courtyard has been very fierce.

Guo'er was also brought into the room by her, filling in the missing child of Nanny Lin.

The ones who guarded the door and carried the curtains and delivered messages were replaced by Xiao He and Xiao Hong, but they still did the sweeping.

However, she has asked Gu Liufu to keep an eye on the market conditions at Renyaozi's place, and plans to buy some more clever maids to make up for these gaps.

It was Song Jingzhang who paid for the work, and she didn't feel any pain at all when using it.

I thought I had left a gap, but Lin quickly found every opportunity to exploit it.

As a result, half a month has passed and there has been no movement.

Gu Wanyu sighed softly,

That's right, Zhu'er hides such a secret,

If it weren't for chance, she wouldn't have discovered it, let alone Lin, who knew nothing about this mansion.

I guess it will take some time before her wish is really realized.

I was thinking about whether to give it another push.

As a result, before I could think of a way, Xiaohuan quietly reported it a few days later.

Said Zhu'er secretly met with the uncle in charge again.

After coming back, he was in a trance, and he wasn't that concerned about the fight with Guo'er.

Gu Wanyu chuckled secretly, knowing that it was done,

"My servants will keep an eye on them quietly so that they won't find any clues." Xiaohuan volunteered.

Gu Wanyu waved her hand, "No need for you, just find an opportunity for Guo'er to find out about this."

Xiaohuan looked at her and instantly understood what she meant. He lowered his head and smiled and said, "Yes."

Gu Wanyu also smiled,

Although it took a little more time, fortunately, there was no deviation in her plan.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Mrs. Lin never discovered the relationship between Zhu’er and her subordinates.

Although Uncle Zhu'er has been working in Lin's dowry shop, he has even met Lin in person several times.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that day.

Just as he was sending the big customer out of the shop, he turned around and saw Wintersweet beside Mrs. Lin, following the sedan, hurriedly towards the direction of Qingshui Hutong.

Although he has never met Mrs. Lin, he is very familiar with the maids around her.

In addition, although the materials used for the sedan chair are simple and elegant, it can be seen that the fabrics are of good quality.

I immediately realized something was wrong, and then thought about my niece working in the house in Qingshui Hutong, which made me feel even worse, so I quietly informed her,

This was the reason why Gu Wanyu discovered this matter.

Then Lin Er got her order from Mrs. Lin, but she didn't find him in the initial search.

After repeated searches, we finally found this relationship.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zhu'er was called by Lin for questioning, and then contacted Zhu'er.

So far, this result has been fulfilled.

Gu Wanyu saw Zhu'er's absent-minded appearance in the past few days and just waited to see how she would choose.

On the other side, Chen Shenzhen also received news that the person hiding behind the scenes had some clues.

She had some guesses about the person's identity.

But I'm still not sure, I need to investigate more carefully.

But what is certain is that that person is not an enemy. This is good news,

After Gu Wanyu learned about it,

But as the saying goes, when things go to extremes, they must be reversed.

Sometimes things go too smoothly, but something goes wrong the next moment.

On this day, after dinner,

As usual, after listening to Gu Liufu's report of interesting things in Beijing, he wanted to send people off.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Liufu hesitating whether to open his mouth or not.

He waved his hand to let the rest of the people in the room get out, and then asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion," Gu Liufu stopped hiding it, "Liu Lian'er has had a miscarriage."

"Oh?" Gu Wanyu peeled the lotus seeds and glanced at him,

Although she expected it, she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Is there any news from Hong Xiu?"

Gu Liufu shook his head, "No, the news coming from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is known to the outside world."

"That's right, Liu Lian'er has had a miscarriage, and she won't be able to live without Hongxiu even for a moment."

"Then Master, what's the next step?"

"Don't be anxious, just wait."

Gu Wanyu rubbed her eyebrows.

According to her plan, she wanted to arouse Liu Lian'er's resentment towards Zhou Yu's backyard, provoke a fight in the backyard, and thereby disturb everyone around Zhou Yu.

Secretly, Hong Xiu instigated them to give those wives and concubines the medicine of tiger and wolf, and also gave Zhou Yu poison.

But people’s hearts are unpredictable,

Now she doesn't know anything about the actual situation at Liu Lian'er's place, so it's hard for her to act rashly.

We can only wait and wait for news from Hong Xiu before making the next step.

Zhen Guogong Mansion,

In a secluded and desolate courtyard,

Liu Lian'er's face was pale and she lay on the bed with her eyes closed like dead wood.

If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of her chest, Hongxiu almost thought she had already passed away.

He snorted secretly,

This child didn't come cleanly, but now she looks like such a beloved child,

Thinking of Mrs. Gu's instructions, Hongxiu could no longer look at her coldly.

He took a step forward, took Liu Lian'er's hand, and comforted her softly:

"Lian'er, you have to fight for your strength. Now that the old lady no longer supports us, if you continue to fail, then won't we have to wait to die?"

"I...can enter the mansion just because of this piece of meat. I got it with great difficulty and painstaking efforts, but now it's gone,"

Liu Lian'er opened her eyes and stared at the beam,

"Without this piece of meat, who will care about my life or death? Even if I want to stand up on my own, what's the use? Just think about it!"

"But what if..."

Hongxiu wanted to persuade her again, but before she finished speaking,

Liu Lian'er suddenly turned to look at her, "I know you look down on me."

Hongxiu's heart suddenly twitched, "You?"

What did she know?
