Not until they returned home and the courtyard gate was closed did Hua Ru Chuh finally push open Yun Shu, "Quickly go get me something to eat, I'm not full."

  Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh at this, she really thought Miss was heartbroken, but it turned out her emotions were all fake.

  The stomach was very good and drank another bowl of porridge, also ate an egg, like the beginning, only then put down the chopsticks contentedly. Compared to Xia Yan's cooking skills, all the dishes in the Qi Fu kitchen need to be remade.

  She poured tea for her mistress and asked tentatively, "Miss, don't you care that your brother-in-law went to those few people's rooms?"

  Hua Ru raised an eyebrow, "Yun Shu, when did you also start paying attention to these things?"

  "I'm afraid you're uncomfortable holding it in yourself."

  "What's suffocating me is having to attend to a house full of people at the main mansion every day, and being forced to watch them perform their family dramas."

  Yun Shu still didn't give up, "Miss, you tell me, let me have a bottom line, otherwise in a few days when I leave, I won't be at peace."

  "Has Linlang Pavilion arrived?"

  "Ah, Ma Bo sent a message in, he arrived last night."

  "The speed is quite fast, where is it placed now?"

  "Don't change the subject."

  Hua Ru looked at her helplessly, "Am I spoiling you all too much?"

  "You've always spoiled us." Yun Shu replied very affirmatively, if not for spoiling them, how could they have seen such a broad world outside, and how could Qiu Jing let them learn whatever they wanted to learn, and even Miss had promised them the freedom to marry whomever they wanted.

  Hua Ru was playing with the red jade pendant on her waist, her expression still as calm as usual, but Yun Shu could see the indifference that seeped through. Even if Miss hadn't given her an answer yet, she thought she already knew the answer.

  "Cloud Book, a person's heart is only this big." She made a heart shape with her thumbs and index fingers and placed it on her leg. Hua Ru Chun continued: "In here, there can only be one person. Not to mention in the future, including me, Qi You has four women now, his heart is divided into four parts. Even these four parts may not be equal. Using a quarter of his heart to exchange for my whole heart, do you think it's possible? When did your missus ever make such a bad deal?"

  "But miss, you have the ability to make your husband think of no one else but you."

  "Love can't be taken, Yun Shu, don't be so foolish. If a man truly loves you, he won't bear to see you suffer even a little bit, he won't get into someone else's bed, no matter what time it is, he will always put you in his heart, happy when you're happy, sad when you're sad... I'm not clear about other people's requirements for love, but the love I want has only one requirement - purity."

  Thinking of her current situation, Hua Ru smiled wryly, "I no longer have any expectations now."

  Yun Shu didn't ask stupidly why again, the basic love has already disappeared, what else can be required.

  "Silly girl, why are you crying."

  Subconsciously, he touched his face and found it wet, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe it hastily. Yun Shu forced a smile and said, "Ah, miss, I'll go make you a cup of tea."

  Looking at the untouched cup of tea beside her hand, Hua Ruochu propped up her head and smiled, this excuse was...

  She pushed aside the screen and before she could wipe away the tears, she faced Chunyu's flustered face on the verge of crying. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled by her and pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate.

  Yun Shu looked at the back figure and felt a sense of familiarity, a bad thought flashed in her mind, not many men could enter this courtyard, that person wouldn't be...

  As soon as they reached the entrance, Yun Shu pulled Chun Yu to the small kitchen at a quick pace, chased everyone away and asked in a cold tone, "What's going on? Master has returned, why didn't you send someone to inform us?"

  Chun Yu's eyes welled up with tears, and she was on the verge of crying. "I thought so too, just when Master returned, you and Miss were discussing this matter, I was about to pass it on but was stopped by Master. Yun Shu sister, what should we do? Master overheard all those words, will he treat Miss poorly from now on?"

  "Have you been subdued by Young Master?" Yun Shu was greatly shocked, although she knew that Qi You's martial arts skills were not bad, but she had never thought that he would be better than the few of them. They were just maidservants, but they were all taught by the Alliance Leader, and the young master of the Hua family often gave them guidance and sparred with them. In terms of strength, they were no weaker than many people in the martial arts world.

  But was actually controlled by my uncle?!

  "Well, one move, although it's said that Brother-in-law is ambushing, but..."

  Yun Shu took a deep breath, and it was just one move, only one move. This didn't match their investigation. No, no, she remembered that the information they had gathered mentioned that Master never used his full strength, possibly because those who saw it were either dead or his own people. So that's how it was...

  "Yun Shu Jie, what should we do? Shouldn't we hurry and tell Miss?"

  "Wait a minute, just wait a minute." Yun Shu forced himself to calm down. "At that time, were there only you and your uncle, or was there someone else?"

  "It was just me and my brother-in-law, and Yanyan happened to be sent by me to the big kitchen to get something. Several aunts were waiting for Miss in the side hall over there, I was worried they would come over so I temporarily took Yanyan's place here, didn't expect it to be just right..."

  "What's the expression on your brother-in-law's face?"

  "He was as expressionless as ever, but I felt he was furious, definitely furious." Just thinking about Master Gou's appearance at the time made Chunyu feel a chill run down her spine. He looked just as expressionless as before, yet she had this feeling.

  After circling around the small kitchen for who-knows-how-many times, Yun Shu gritted her teeth and said: "Chun Yu, keep this matter temporarily buried in your belly, don't tell anyone, you know, I know, and Master knows, got it?"

  "Can't they say anything either?"

  "Don't worry, I'll find a suitable opportunity to tell them."

  "Yes, I remember."

  Yun Shu grasped Chun Yu's icy hand and gave it a squeeze. This little girl must have been scared out of her wits today, not to mention herself. What she was most worried about now was the situation with Master Gou. If someone with malicious intentions had overheard Miss's words, they could pick out a whole basketful of faults from them. But even if someone with malicious intentions had heard it, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly. Unfortunately, the person who did hear it was the one person who absolutely shouldn't have.

  "Spring Jade, for now, try not to appear in front of your uncle as much as possible. I'll observe the situation and if it's really not working out, I'll arrange for you to leave for a while. The people from Linlang Pavilion arrived last night, so you can go manage them."

  Chun Yu nodded with a hint of a smile, "I don't want to leave Miss."

  "I know we don't want to, but this is too big of a deal. If something goes wrong... You suffer a bit and go out for now, for the sake of Miss, okay?"

  "Alright, I'll go."

  "Good spring jade, miss, you can't reveal a single sound about this matter, it's as if nothing happened. Master didn't come back today, and if he hadn't mentioned it, none of us would have brought it up, do you understand?"

  "Alright, Yun Shu sister, I'm still worried, what if Master treats Miss poorly?"

  "It won't be, Master Gugu. If he really was the way you think, he wouldn't have left like this today. He must have had his reasons. Let's not jump to conclusions, let's not panic." But although she said they shouldn't panic, Yun Shu's own heart was already in a mess. They just hoped that Miss would be happy, and this had become an obsession in their hearts. As long as there was even the slightest hint of unhappiness, they felt like the sky was falling."

  "Don't cry anymore, go back to your room for now. If anyone asks, just say you have a headache and aren't feeling well. I'll go talk to Miss."

  "Alright, alright, I'm going back to my room."

  P.S: There is another update tonight.
