During these days, Xiuye also felt a crisis. Xiuyue was sent by the madam, and she took up the position of the eldest maid as soon as she came. The girl was willing to promote her, and she didn't forget to take her with her even when she went out. This was very important to her. Not a good sign.
There is no need for so many people around a girl, only herself is enough.
"Okay, be careful what you say in the future. Now that I am not the housekeeper of my mother, it will not be good if any more gossip reaches my grandmother's ears." Gu Mingmou glanced at Xiuye and ordered.
Gu Mingmou spoke carelessly. Some people took his words to heart, while others just ignored them.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiuye's expression, and Gu Mingmou just suppressed his smile slightly. She didn't want to think about many things in her previous life, just because every time she thought about it, she could find many lies and deceptions.
She also felt a little ridiculous. She had only died once, and she began to speculate on everyone around her with the greatest malice. Then she discovered that she had only lived in lies deliberately crafted by others in her previous life.
"Girl, the Crown Prince Yongning is here. Madam, please come to the main courtyard." The personal maid beside Mr. Xue suddenly arrived, bringing some news that was not good for her.
I used to look forward to seeing that person so much, but now I don't want to see him anymore. After all, the last time they met in their previous life was at his wedding, and she was just his concubine.
Full of shame and resentment, she was never far away. Although she had been back for a while, she was still not mentally prepared. She was afraid that she would kill him with her own hands when she saw him.
"Girl, I feel uncomfortable somewhere, otherwise I'd better not tell Madam about it, right?" Seeing Gu Mingmou's expression was not good, Xiu Yue said worriedly.
"Nothing, let's go and see Brother Qi." Gu Mingmou gathered his mood and stood up.
People always want to meet, and if you push it this time, you can't push it the next time. There is an engagement between them that cannot be broken.
Qi Lang was chatting with Mrs. Xue when Gu Mingmou arrived. Mrs. Xue always had a smile on her face and looked at Qi Lang with a very gentle look. She was obviously very satisfied with her daughter's fiancé.
It's no wonder that Qi Lang behaves impeccably no matter in front of or behind the scenes. I don't know how many ladies in Jingli hate her to death just because she has such a good man.
Just because it's so good, it hurts to the bone when you fall out!
"Mother, Brother Qi." When Qi Lang's eyes turned around, Gu Mingmou's pupils shrank, showing a bright smile, and walked quickly into the room.
"Tongtong." Qi Lang saw a hint of tenderness in her eyes unconsciously. If Mr. Xue hadn't been there, he would have walked over long ago.
Seeing Qi Lang's expression, Mrs.
"What is it?" she asked with surprise on her face.
The boy behind Qi Lang brought over a huanghuali carved wooden box. As soon as the box was opened, the smile on Gu Mingmou's face froze.
This is - peach blossom stone.
Compared with the stone she received, this one is obviously much larger and more colorful. The oblate shape is like a mirror. The transparent stone is filled with bright pink, which is very beautiful and rare.
But after seeing this stone, Gu Mingmou felt no joy at all, but more fear.
Was it a coincidence, or did that person already know about it
When she received the peach blossom stone that day, she thought that the other party was just using the peach blossom forest to warn her to keep it a secret, but now it seemed that there was a deeper meaning in it.
"What is this made of? It's so beautiful?" With just a blink of an eye, Gu Mingmou turned his attention back and exclaimed.
Not to mention her, even Mr. Xue was surprised.
"This is a peach blossom stone. I got it from a businessman in the Western Region by chance." Qi Lang said with a smile.
"Such a big piece of peach blossom stone must be worth a lot of money." Ms. Xue obviously knew the goods, and she looked at Qi Lang reproachfully, "You too, you are spoiling this girl."
"It's just a stone, as long as Tongtong likes it." Qi Lang looked at Gu Mingmou with an increasingly gentle look.
In addition to the three of them, the maids serving in the room were all staring at the stone. Only Xiuye, who was following Gu Mingmou, looked at the stone and glanced at Qi Lang secretly.
After seeing the smile on the corner of Qi Lang's mouth, her heart started to pound even more. Even if she knew that the smile was not directed at her, she was still extremely happy.
She had fallen in love with this warm man a long time ago
The gentle and handsome prince was even more delighted when he learned that he was engaged to the girl. As long as she secures her position as the eldest maid, she will be married to the Yongning Marquis Mansion with the girl sooner or later. The girl has always been soft-spoken. If she is planning to have a marriage with the prince, she is the most likely one.
For such a good man as the prince, being able to serve him is a blessing earned through eight lifetimes of training.
It's a pity that the girl finally separated from the two previous maids. Unexpectedly, the lady actually found Xiuyue again, which was really an eyesore.
Xiuye focused on peeking at Qi Lang, but she didn't know that Xiuyue was also watching her secretly. Seeing the way she looked at Prince Yongning, Xiuyue felt a chill in her heart, and finally understood why the girl gave her such an order.
I thought that this Xiuye was just a little arrogant because of her friendship with the girl. It was normal for her to encourage other maids in the yard to exclude her. But now she is big-hearted and restless.
Even before this happened, he began to think about his future male master. If the girl really kept her by his side, she might be bitten by him in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiuyue couldn't help but glance at Qi Lang and thought to herself, did the prince find out
Gu Mingmou seemed to be in a good mood after receiving the gift from Qi Lang, but when Xue asked her to go out with Qi Lang, she still refused with an embarrassed look.
Seeing this, Qi Lang asked worriedly, "Is Tongtong feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xiuyue hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The girl's face doesn't look very good in the morning. Maybe she hasn't had a good rest recently." She didn't feel that the girl was uncomfortable in any way, but she didn't look very happy after hearing the news about the crown prince. .
No matter what the reason is, since my girl is unwilling, she, as a maid, will naturally have to share the worries of her master.
"Girl, obviously..." Xiuye was not willing to lose the opportunity to meet the prince so easily. She couldn't help opening her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xiuyue stared back with a vicious look.
Because the voice was small, it did not attract the attention of a few people.
"Since Tongtong is not feeling well, it is better to go back and rest quickly. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Qi Lang asked with concern.
Ms. Xue was also a little worried, but gave up after Gu Mingmou repeatedly emphasized that she was just feeling dizzy because she didn't get enough rest.
