While chatting, Gu Xianting walked in at a leisurely pace and held the last dish with his own hands - sincerely.
His originally clean and snow-white cheeks were shiny and shiny, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his temples were wet and stuck to his skin. It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce battle in the kitchen.
Xie Fu was very moved when he saw it, and the faces of the ladies immediately showed distressed expressions.
Gu Xianting scanned the scene and solemnly introduced to the ladies: "This is Mr. Xie Fu Xie."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "We have already met."
As he spoke, he stood up, walked to Gu Xianting, took out his silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat and grease from the face of this distressed person. His gentle and loving look was as if he were treating his own daughter.
When Xie Fu saw this, he secretly thought that since he had brought Gu Xianting into the game, could he also bring three famous ladies into the game?
If the three ladies are involved, if someone wants to cause trouble behind your back in the future, you should think carefully about it.
Gu Xianting said softly: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu."
Mrs. Lu hesitated to speak, feeling in her heart that if Xianting could be her daughter-in-law, she would really be willing to live ten years shorter.
The more in-depth contact with Xianting, the more I like this woman. Other ladies really look down on her.
After the last dish was served, Gu Xianting was held by Mrs. Lu's affectionate hand and sat down.
Mrs. Gu joked: "Xianting, you are not so nice to us."
Her words were also testing the relationship between Gu Xianting and Li Shaodian, whether it was due to admiration for Li Shaodian's talent and reputation, or whether it was mixed with an affair between a man and a woman.
Gu Xianting said: "Mrs. Gu, thank you Master for your kindness to me. No matter how much I do, I will never be able to repay you."
Mrs. Gu exclaimed: "There is such a thing."
Gu Xianting hesitated to speak. After all, pretending to be a county magistrate was not a small crime. He looked at Xie Fu lightly and asked for Xie Fu's opinion.
This move inevitably made several ladies have many suspicions.
Xie Fu said simply: "When the plague broke out in Wuxi last year, Miss Gu was infected with cholera. I happened to meet her and took care of Miss Gu for a while."
Xie Fu said it calmly and simply, but Gu Xianting's eyes turned red: "If adults hadn't extended a helping hand, Xianting would have been seriously ill and died."
The title "Sir" made the three ladies have an idea in their minds.
Mrs. Lu secretly thought, bad, bad... looked at Xie Fu and asked: "Could Shaodian be the savior that Xianting has been looking for - Mr. Li?"
Revealing this identity will be beneficial to Xie Fu's reputation, and it will also leave an excuse for others.
Xie Fu thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "I asked the three ladies to keep it a secret for me. This is a serious crime of decapitation."
Simply let the three ladies have a handle on him and let the three ladies put down their guard against him. This kind of behavior has advantages and disadvantages. If it is operated properly, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Mrs. Gu looked surprised, and then blurted out: "Shaodian, you are so bold, you dare to admit such a thing."
Xie Fu smiled slightly: "I believe that the three ladies are not gossips."
Mrs. Zhang smiled hoarsely and said: "Well, you Li Shaodi, I won't do such a thankless thing anyway. If you deny it even to death, won't I be accused of framed Zhongliang?"
When Xie Fu heard this, he thought to himself, how awesome he was, actually telling him his escape route directly.
Everything depends on evidence, so just say it, he is not that easy to frame.
It seems that these three ladies are not simple, I have to deal with them carefully.
Gu Xianting was worried about Fu Xie, but she became nervous, "Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Zhang..." His voice was soft, as if he was coquettishly talking to his mother.
The three ladies smiled and said nothing. Mrs. Lu first raised her wine glass and said to Mr. Xie, "Master Li, I would like to propose a toast to you."
Since Mrs. Lu called her Mr. Li, this cup was naturally a token of gratitude for Fu's work in Wuxi. Her husband had dedicated his life to the country and the people, and was deeply influenced by him, but she truly admired him in her heart.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhang also picked up their wine glasses.
Regardless of whether the three ladies were really admiring or pretending to be polite, Mr. Xie should have accepted the toast and drank it down in one gulp.
Gu Xianting's worried heart was relieved.
This dinner and dinner also indirectly allowed Xie Fu to get acquainted with three famous ladies.
After drinking and eating, Gu Xianting still had something to say, so he specially gave Xie Fu a ride.
After the two left, the three ladies who remained in the flower hall looked at each other in confusion.
Mrs. Lu spoke first: "Mrs. Gu, what do you think?"
Mrs. Gu said thoughtfully: "Is Mrs. Lu referring to Mr. Li or Xianting?"
"Let's talk about Mr. Li first."
Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "Shaodian dared to admit this kind of beheading in front of us, which shows that he is sincere and can trust us. The three of us can't be just villains."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Based on the things he did in Wuxi, it's not that simple. I even smelled a hint of cunning and treachery."
Mrs. Gu giggled and said, "Mrs. Zhang, how can you say such a thing about Shao Deli?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "It's better to be cunning and treacherous, but if you are too stupid and straightforward, no one will end up well."
Mrs. Lu said: "Of course it's not easy. Otherwise, how could we snatch Wang Wanzhi from a group of famous nobles? If ordinary people dare to even think about it, let alone snatch it, they would have been in ruins long ago."
Speaking of Wang Wanzhi, Mrs. Lu mentioned Gu Xianting casually: "Mrs. Gu, what do you think Xianting's attitude towards her is?"
Mrs. Gu responded: "It is natural for Xianting to have a good impression of Shao Dei. He is talented, good-looking, moral, and a lifesaver. If it were me, I would also have a good impression."
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly when they heard this. They were really strong competitors.
Mrs. Gu saw the expressions of the two ladies and said with a smile: "Madams, you are concerned about gains and losses, and the authorities are confused."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu blurted out: "Mrs. Gu, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "You must know that Shaodian is the prince's son-in-law. This is already a certainty. Even if Luohua is interested, there is nothing he can do about it."
When the two ladies heard this, they immediately understood and burst into laughter.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "That's very good. I was really worried just now."
Her mood just now was indeed very contradictory. On the one hand, she liked Xianting and Shaodian, but on the other hand, she did not want such a good woman like Xianting to become someone else's wife.
Mrs. Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Me too."
…
Xie Fu walked silently with Gu Xianting.
Gu Xianting first spoke softly: "I shouldn't let you come to Wanghe Tower today, as it will cause trouble for you."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "What trouble is Miss Gu talking about?"
"If the three ladies know that you once pretended to be a county magistrate, wouldn't it be a source of leverage?"
Xie Fu chuckled: "If some people have the intention to harm you and can harm you, there is no need to hesitate to inflict crimes on them."
"On the other hand, if my power is overwhelming, even if I do all the evil things, nothing can be done to me."
"Adults don't do things that are harmful to nature."
"Haha, I'm just making an analogy. So for many things, it doesn't matter whether you have done it or not. What matters is whether others can defeat you."
"Why did your Excellency take the initiative to admit it just now?"
Xie Fu asked back: "What did I admit? I was drunk and talking nonsense. I don't remember what I said."
