Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 274 A tacit understanding

"Okay, I understand." General Gu responded.

But she did not rush to find Xu Fan, but was thinking about how to tell him reasonably and let him leave.

……

After Xu Fan left the Gu family, Gu Qingyuan went to Tianji Pavilion.

Normally, this is just an ordinary shop from the outside, and not many people would notice it.

The people inside knew Gu Qingyuan, and after seeing her, they immediately let her go to the backyard.

You Yu saw Gu Qingyuan coming and walked over to pat her on the shoulder.

"I haven't seen you in a while, how are you?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled and nodded: "I'm fine, how about you?"

You Yu sighed and glanced inside.

"Actually, I didn't want to make you worry, but during the time you were away, something did happen in Tianji Pavilion."

"What? What happened?"

You Yu said helplessly, "There's always someone lurking around lately. It seems someone who knows about the Tianji Pavilion leaked the secret. Furthermore, it's said that there are also people from the royal family who want to take action against the Tianji Pavilion."

Gu Qingyuan was very calm, which made You Yu wonder if she was stupid.

"Hey, Master Gu, aren't you worried about your hard work at all?"

Gu Qingyuan glanced at You Yu and said, "You've been working hard during this period, but now that I'm back, just let me handle the rest. I'd like to see who has such a long arm that they've reached out to me."

Originally, she had no intention of setting up the Tianji Pavilion here. After all, it would be discovered by everyone sooner or later. However, she had not found a better place for the time being, so she had to stay in the capital for the time being.

If possible, Gu Qingyuan even wanted to set up Tianji Pavilion all over the country so that people in every place would have her spies.

But now she has limited funds, and the Tianji Pavilion also has limited manpower.

She couldn't recruit people in a high-profile manner and could only do it secretly.

"By the way, how is Wang Qiu here?"

Gu Qingyuan did not forget that he was her bargaining chip. If one day the princess really could not tolerate the Gu family, Liu Wangqiu would be able to negotiate.

You Yu thought for a moment and said, "He and Ah Wang get along quite well. They often chat and do things together."

"That's good."

Gu Qingyuan thought that Wangqiu would think about looking for the princess and his daughter.

However, even if he went to the gate of the palace, he would not see them. After all, His Majesty had driven him out. If he suddenly appeared again, it was hard to guarantee that His Majesty would not kill him directly.

If he was smart, he would know that for a helpless man like him, staying in Tianji Pavilion was the best choice. At least here he had a place to live and could have a full meal.

When the two of them came in, they saw Wangqiu and Awang sitting together embroidering. When they saw them coming, they quickly stood up.

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "You guys continue, You Yu and I just came over to take a look."

Now A Wang has fully recovered and can even do some heavy work, but You Yu is reluctant to let him do it, so she is the one who basically fetches water and chops firewood.

You Yu recalled: "It seems like I haven't seen Miss Ye for a long time. I don't know how she is doing."

"We'll have a chance to see each other again in the future."

If Gu Qingyuan had not appeared with Ye Qiaohuan, Ah Wang would probably still be lying there, feeling like a burden to her every day, living a life worse than death.

Suddenly, Wangqiu got pricked by a needle in his hand, and Ah Wang quickly asked, "Are you okay?"

Wang Qiu shook his head, as if he had something to ask Gu Qingyuan.

"Awang, come out with me for a moment."

You Yu said to A Wang with tact, and A Wang jumped down and walked outside with her.

By the way, she also closed the door.

When only Gu Qingyuan and Wang Qiu were left, Gu Qingyuan asked him, "You want to ask about the Crown Princess and the Little Princess, right?"

Wang Qiu didn't expect that she could see it so easily, and nodded.

Gu Qingyuan said calmly: "They are all fine."

"I can rest assured that."

Originally, he and the princess were from two different worlds. The time he had lived with her was like a stolen time, and he was very happy.

"Do you want to see them?" Gu Qingyuan asked him.

Wang Qiu was stunned, then shook his head.

"She should have married by now. There's a huge disparity between her and my social status. As for the little princess... I just hope she can grow up healthy and happy."

His tone was still a little bitter.

I haven't been able to be with the little princess since she was born. I'm afraid that when she grows up, she won't know that I'm her biological father.

Gu Qingyuan stated, "Her Highness the Crown Princess married Prime Minister Yuan's son, Yuan Yingxue, as her principal husband, and they live happily together."

Wang Qiu was stunned and it took him a long time to utter a word.

"……it is good."

Even if she was sad, what could she do? She should be standing by the side of someone who matched her, not someone like her who was of low status and had already been married.

After leaving Tianji Pavilion, Gu Qingyuan was thinking about something.

Since someone already knows about Tianji Pavilion and wants to harm it, it seems she needs to transfer the people and things inside as soon as possible.

But where to move the Tianji Pavilion is another problem.

She first went back to the general's mansion.

Dongzhi saw her coming and said excitedly, "Young Master, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come over. Oh, is this considered telepathy?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at Dongzhi and asked in confusion, "When did you come back?"

Hasn’t Dongzhi always been sent out by her mother?

"A few days ago. I originally said I would come to see you when I got back, but General Gu said you went to southern Xinjiang."

After saying that, she started to touch Gu Qingyuan all over again, as if she wanted to play with her like a doll.

"Come here quickly so I can take a good look at our young master and see if he has grown taller again."

Gu Qingyuan was speechless for a while.

"Is it possible that I'm not a child anymore?"

Seeing Dongzhi like this, it was hard for her not to suspect that she was like this when she was a child, treating herself as a human toy.

"Oh yeah, you're already twenty-one. Time flies!"

Gu Qingyuan asked her, "Did you see anyone coming here today?"

"Is it a man? I saw him sneaking around the study door today. I don't know what bad things he was up to, but he wouldn't tell me when I asked him."

It seems that Xu Fan has returned.

Gu Qingyuan wanted to leave, but Dongzhi hugged her again. Seeing Dongzhi so enthusiastic, Gu Qingyuan had to endure it for the time being.

To her, Dongzhi is like a half-elder.

Before she was born, Dongzhi and Xiazhi were already working for her mother.

The two of them can be said to have watched Gu Qingyuan grow up, but because Dongzhi was always sent out, it was not easy for him to see Gu Qingyuan.

Every time she saw Gu Qingyuan, she wished she could hug her tightly like she was doing now.

"Ahem...I want to go see my mother first."
