Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 65 Visiting the Garden

Seeing Lin Miaofu scolding Lin Yuanyuan, Gu Zhao suddenly felt like his mother in his heart.

"Oh, sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't scold me." Lin Qiyuan wanted to run away directly, but with Gu Zhao here, he had to accompany him.
"Then you go and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. If you don't want to understand, don't come out!" Lin Miaofu said, "Where are your servants? Let them come to the flower hall tomorrow. I have something to give you."

"Ah...then I'd better not leave."

Lin Qiyuan seemed to know what was going to happen, and looked at Gu Zhao for help. Did he mean to ask him for help?
But although Gu Zhao was smart, he didn't know what Lin Qiyuan wanted. He couldn't speak out, so he just pretended not to know?

"What do you think he does? Can he help you bear your fault?"

Up to this point, Lin Miaofu was still very satisfied with Gu Zhao.

At least he didn't pretend to be a good person to persuade himself.

"I was also at fault in this matter, and I can't just blame Brother Lin." Gu Zhao said hurriedly: "I also went back to think about my mistakes behind closed doors... Do I need to write a confession?"

What confession should I write?

Lin Miaofu rolled her eyes at Gu Zhao, and then said: "Okay, brother, please go back first. Let's talk about the boy's matters tomorrow."

"Are you two going to meet alone together?"

Lin Qiyuan looked like a cat with fur, and said, "How can this be done?"

"You think that all the maids and servants in my yard are dead."

"Or do you think that Gu Shizi and I will do something...unreasonable?"

"No, no... sister, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me."

Lin Qiyuan really had nothing to do with his sister, whatever he said was wrong.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

As he talked, he walked out and looked back from time to time, hoping that his sister would stay because she couldn't bear to listen to the plan between the two of them.

But Lin Miaofu remained unmoved and drank tea slowly until he left the courtyard door. Then she looked at Gu Zhao and asked, "Prince Gu, are you looking for me if you have anything to do?"

"Nothing... I just heard that you are moving today, so I came over to see if there is anything you still need help with?"

Gu Zhao's expression was very calm, and it didn't look like he was lying, but Lin Miaofu knew that what he said was definitely a lie.

After all, even if someone comes to congratulate you, it won’t be on the moving day.

"Everything has been arranged properly. This courtyard is very unique. Thank you very much, Prince Gu."

Lin Miaofu thanked her generously.

Seeing that the malfunction seemed to have nothing to say, and no intention of leaving, he continued: "It's still early, why don't we go for a stroll in the yard? When I came last time, I saw that the flowers and plants in the yard were very unique. The previous owner was obviously very fond of it. with effort."

"Okay, it was originally a villa for important ministers of the former dynasty. Later, they were convicted and their homes were confiscated. This courtyard was also confiscated. I spent some money and bought this courtyard."

Gu Zhao said casually, his expression a little careless.

Lin Miaofu asked: "So you have been helping to take care of it all these years?"

After all, the house didn't look like it had been abandoned for many years.

"People are sent to take care of it regularly. If friends or relatives come over and have nowhere to stay, they can put them here."

"Then you gave me the land deed...is that okay?" Lin Miaofu knew that such a big house would cost at least 100,000 gold, but it was still marketable but priceless.

"It doesn't matter, it's just right for you to live in. It'll be a good place to stay when your father-in-law and mother-in-law come here in the future."

Gu Zhao spoke lightly and in a calm tone.

Lin Miaofu also relaxed.

The two walked to the yard, and Lin Miaofu said with a smile: "In my previous home, I had a swing set up in the yard. My brother always came to help me push it excitedly. One time he pushed it too high and asked me to stop. I fell off the swing and left a scar at the corner of my eye... Later, my brother found many ways to help me fade the scar. You can see it if you look carefully."

Lin Miaofu pointed to the marks on her left eye and said, "My father beat my brother severely that time. That was the hardest beating he ever received in my memory."

"But in fact, he is not to blame for this matter at all. It was me who was too naughty and insisted on letting my brother push it higher."

"I have never played on the swing since then." Lin Miaofu said, "I don't want others to be punished for my mistakes."

"Yes." Gu Zhao said, "Brother Lin loves and protects you very much."

"Yes, my brother dotes on me so much. He helps me with everything I do... I'm worried that my willful behavior will drag the Lin family into a whirlpool that will never be recovered."

Lin Miaofu looked up at Gu Zhao and said, "Now, we are not married yet, can you give me a promise... that you will protect my parents and brothers no matter what?"

The two looked at each other. Lin Miaofu's expression was calm and her eyes were full of solemnity. Gu Zhao had to pay attention.

"I give you this promise."

Lin Miaofu nodded heavily, and instead talked about the flowers and trees in the yard.

"I still have some flowers that I keep in the Nuan Pavilion. I spent a lot of effort to bring them back from Yangzhou, but I gave some away when I was in the Liang Mansion. There are also some chrysanthemums. Does the Duke's Mansion have a flower room?" Lin Miao Fu said: "Flowers and plants cannot withstand changing places. If you have a greenhouse, I will have someone move it there."

"Also, who are the people in the Gu family? I have to prepare gifts for them then. If you have time, why not help me write down their lives and preferences, so that I can prepare some things they like."

"There is a flower room... My mother also liked warm flowers and plants when she was alive, but the flower room is in the main house. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to live there now. I plan to open up another place in my yard just for you."

Lin Miaofu smiled coquettishly and said, "I forgot about this, so don't do anything about it yet."

"What?" Gu Zhao looked at Lin Miaofu puzzled.

"The greenhouse is very particular, and it naturally has to be arranged according to the person who uses it... You don't have to worry about the time when the arrangement is not good, and you have to start over again... What's more, I haven't married yet, and you are so involved. , I’m afraid it will leave a bad impression on the elders of the Gu family.”

"Oh." Gu Zhao said, "Okay, let's wait until you come through the door."

The two talked about other things, and Gu Zhao promised to send her a roster of Gu family members tomorrow so that she could prepare things.

It was getting dark, and Chen's Restaurant brought over some food and wine.

The wine the three of them had for dinner was very fragrant, not the same wine as before. Gu Zhao praised it a few times.

Lin Miaofu couldn't help but become curious, took a small sip, tasted it, and immediately frowned.

"What's wrong, sister? Don't you like drinking this?"

Lin Qiyuan said: "I will ask them to remove the wine."

"No, I just think it tastes like Chen Xiangshou. It seems to be made by the Liang family."
