Chapter 2079 Seeing someone else put clothes on Gu Nuoer
at this time.
Ye Siming also returned to Bai Mansion covered with rain and dew, covered in travel and dust.
He walked back to his room along the corridor, and when he passed the main hall, he saw the lights inside.
Mrs. Bai was sitting in the main hall with her eyes closed, as if waiting for someone.
"Bai Niang?" Ye Siming paused and raised his stern eyebrows: "Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
Mrs. Bai woke up with a start: "Si Ming, you are back. Today you led troops to Gyeonggi to investigate the matter. Did it go well?"
Hearing that someone was making trouble near the capital, Ye Siming was ordered to go and suppress it.
His tone was calm: "It's just a bunch of people. People in a village have the same disease. It's not a big problem."
Mrs. Bai nodded, and said distractedly: "Si Ming, you are not here today, and there is some trouble with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The melodious expression on Ye Siming's face suddenly faded.
His eyes turned sharp: "What's the trouble?"
Mrs. Bai told him what happened at the sugar shop.
"I went shopping tonight, and on the way back everyone was talking, saying that the princess didn't restrain the people under her, and made unclean food for everyone to eat, which caused people to die."
Ye Siming angrily shouted: "Nonsense!"
Just a cold wind can kill people?
Mrs. Bai felt worried about Gu Nuoer.
"Anyway, the rumors going around are not good to hear. The Emperor may already know about it, but there is no news from the palace yet."
"I'm waiting to tell you in advance that Nuo'er will definitely not feel comfortable. You can go into the palace early tomorrow morning!"
Ye Siming turned around and walked towards the door.
"I can't wait until tomorrow morning. I'll go to the shop first and have a look."
Mrs. Bai chased after a few steps: "Take the umbrella, it's going to rain hard!"
"It's okay, Madam Bai, go to bed early and don't have to wait for me." After Ye Siming said that, his tall figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The night was dark, and the fine raindrops gradually turned into raindrops like rice grains, hitting the eaves with a muffled sound.
It was time for a good sleep, but the lights were brightly lit in the Four Seasons Candy Shop.
Gu Nuoer sat at the table, with open account books in front of her eyes.
She was taking notes and reading them.
Qi Jingsheng brought a booklet and put it on the table.
"This is the last one. The account records from the beginning of last month to the present are all here."
Gu Nuoer didn't even raise his head: "Thank you for your hard work. Go lie down in the backyard and rest for a while."
Qi Jingsheng dragged a stool and sat aside.
"I'm not sleepy, so I'd better stay with the princess and see if there's anything I can do to help."
Gu Nuoer hummed, as if she had no time to say anything else to him.
Qi Jingsheng looked at the records on the account book and the swishy excerpts written by Gu Nuoer.
He sighed and said, "But Princess, Master Chen doesn't know when he got sick. Do we really want to return all the money we earned this month?"
Gu Nuoer put down her pen and pressed her eyebrows: "Of course, no matter what the outcome is, the first way to make up for it is always to return the money they purchased."
In this way, public anger can be calmed to a small extent.
As Gu Nuoer said, he suddenly sneezed.
"Ah Sneeze—" Water filled her beautiful eyes, and she raised her hand to rub her nose.
Qi Jingsheng said quickly: "I'll go to the backyard and boil some ginger water for Her Royal Highness to drink, so as not to catch a cold."
Gu Nuoer did not refute, but focused on the account books.
However, by the time Qi Jingsheng came back, Gu Nuoer had already memorized all the names.
She leaned on the table with her head propped up, her eyes closed and she seemed to be asleep.
Her slender eyebrows were still frowning.
Qi Jingsheng felt distressed.
He took off his robe, stepped forward, and gently covered Gu Nuoer's body.
Afterwards, Qi Jingsheng stepped aside in an orderly manner and looked at the girl's sleeping face intently.
And this scene happened to be seen by Ye Siming, who arrived on horseback.
