Standing outside Bai Cha's room with his bedroll in his arms, Wen Yuzhu pressed the corners of his lips tightly, with helplessness written all over his elegant and handsome face.
He expected to be kicked out of the room.
After all, his presence reminds Bai Cha all the time.
A dignified young lady from the Ye family, on her wedding day, the sedan was carried to the door of the groom's house but the engagement was annulled by a scumbag in public. In order to save her respect, she had no choice but to marry a beggar.
She was unhappy, and he could understand.
Guyu came out of the room, looked at Wen Yushu who was standing in the corridor, and took the quilt from his arms.
Worried that the other party would misunderstand the young lady, she explained tactfully: "The young lady is in a bad mood today, please don't take it personally.
You’ve had a tiring day today, so you’ll have to spend the night in the side room and we’ll take care of the rest tomorrow.”
Wen Yuzhu nodded.
He remembered this maid named Guyu.
She is the maid in charge of Bai Cha.
The white tea at noon today was the groom's attire and crown he had ordered her to buy.
She is very smart and thoughtful in everything she does and says.
The maids around him have been trained so well, so Bai Cha must have good skills.
The side room is right next to the white tea room.
After putting the bedding on the bed and tidying it up, Guyu stood respectfully one foot away from Wen Yuzhu:
"Uncle, the hot water has been delivered. You can take a bath before going to bed.
The clothes you will wear tomorrow are already in the cabinet, and they are bought according to your body shape.
The house is currently very busy, and it may take two days to assign a servant to you. Please bear with me.
If you have no other instructions, I will leave first."
After Gu Yu came out of Wen Yuzhu's room, he returned to Bai Cha's room.
She stepped forward and tidied up the messy bed for Bai Cha.
In front of Bai Cha, she was obviously much more relaxed than in front of Wen Yuzhu: "After being with the girl for so many years, this is the first time I have seen her lose such a temper."
Wen Yuzhu, who was standing in front of the bathtub in the side room and was taking off his clothes, paused for a moment.
The walls are thick and soundproof.
But people who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, so he... didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
Take out the hairpin broken into three sections from your sleeve.
Is this your first time losing such a temper?
Just as I was thinking about it, the little girl's clear and confident voice sounded.
"Can't I be angry?"
Guyu looked at Bai Cha meaningfully: "Of course you can, but I think the girl's temper is deliberately aimed at my uncle.
You are kind to everyone, but to my uncle, your nose is not a nose, and your eyes are not eyes.
Girl, I dare to ask, did you know my uncle before?
Uncle, what did he do to make you unhappy?"
Wen Yuzhu was playing with the severed hairpin and found Bai Cha's confident tone cute, and was curious about her answer.
Guyu asked him and found out when he got off the sedan chair.
I just didn't have the right opportunity to ask.
Now that Gu Yu has asked for him, he naturally wants to listen carefully.
Where did he offend her before?
"It's just because he's unhappy. There's no reason." Bai Cha sat on the bed and kicked off his shoes and socks.
Wen Yuzhu chuckled.
Is that all?
He didn't believe it.
Guyu from next door also laughed: "Girl can deceive others, but she can't deceive me.
If you are really unhappy with him and you will only ask someone to beat him, how can you ask me to buy clothes for him personally, Hua Guan?"
Wen Yuzhu looked at the clothes on the rack and was stunned for a moment.
Did she ask her servants to buy these?
The girl's slightly embarrassed voice came through the wall, which was a bit unreal.
"Are you annoyed?
If I don't ask you to buy clothes for him, what will he wear tomorrow?
You can't go to see your father in a wedding dress.
What, is he going to worship my father again, sit on my head and be my little daddy?"
Wen Yuzhu thought about that scene and couldn't help laughing.
Guyu next door was also amused by Bai Cha's words. After a burst of laughter, Guyu's voice sounded again.
"Speaking of which, although my uncle's background is not good, he is really a good person.
Today when we were socializing in the front hall, there were some random relatives making sarcastic remarks.
My uncle cleaned up all those people without leaving a trace, which relieved his anger."
Bai Cha snorted coldly: "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts."
Guyu: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, we haven't even gotten to know each other in person, but you already know it in your heart.
I finally understand why you smiled so happily on the horse and said such shameless words to your uncle!
Tell me, do you have a crush on my uncle?!"
Wen Yuzhu suddenly pinched the hairpin in his hand.
Secretly in love with yourself?
Thinking of this possibility, Wen Yuzhu suddenly felt that he was drunk again, and his cheeks and ears were hot.
What kind of wine is this? It has such great stamina!
Bai Cha: "It's all nonsense. Let's not talk about this anymore. You should go to bed quickly and call some nursing homes tomorrow morning. Follow me to Gao's house to ask for money."
Guyu: "Miss, after all, the Gao family is also a county magistrate, smart and famous. We are a family of merchants, and you are a daughter's family..."
"Then the money is wasted?
That’s fifty thousand taels!
The annual income in Yancheng is only 50,000 taels, so why should the Gao family give it to him for nothing? Does the Gao family deserve it?
Besides, this matter has become a big deal.
If we don't get this money back, won't those side branches who are already eyeing our family have to sit in the lobby and make trouble every day?
What happened to my daughter’s house?
Didn't they call me dominatrix?
I will let them know what a real dominatrix is!
sleep!"
Wen Yuzhu put down the broken hosta in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle.
The little girl is fierce when she loses her temper, but she looks nothing like a dominatrix. Instead, she looks like a naturally charming vixen.
He stood up and opened the door. Over there, Guyu just came out of the white tea room.
Guyu didn't expect that the man hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he looked surprised: "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
Wen Yuzhu: "There is something I want to ask Miss Guyu."
Guyu: "Say."
Wen Yuzhu took out a jade pendant: "This was left to me by my mother.
Before leaving, the old man said it was for her future daughter-in-law. I can't speak, which made the girl unhappy. If I give it to the girl now, I'm afraid the girl won't accept it, but I want to see the lady wear it. My mother is in heaven.
If you have a spirit, you can also..."
Gu Yu took the jade pendant from Wen Yuzhu's hand. As soon as she got it on, she knew that this was no ordinary jade pendant.
Thinking that this person had extraordinary bearing and that the family must have had great successes, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely put it on for the young lady myself tomorrow, don't worry, uncle."
"Thank you so much."
…
The next day, Bai Cha got up early, washed and dressed, and as soon as he took one foot out, Wen Yuzhu, who was sleeping in the side room, opened the door.
Facing Wen Yuzhu's face, Bai Cha's smile froze on his face.
Wen Yuzhu had a slight smile on his face: "Good morning, girl."
Bai Cha snorted coldly: "It's already three o'clock in the morning, it's still early, forget it if you are too lazy."
Wen Yuzhu's smile froze on his face.
Bai Cha didn't look at him again: "Gu Yu, is the carriage ready?"
Guyu hurriedly stepped forward: "Okay, we can set off at any time."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Seeing the little girl's lively appearance, Wen Yuzhu shook his head and laughed.
