Guan's step-mother, Ma, naturally spoke for her daughter-in-law. Besides, her daughter-in-law's family was originally from the government, so how could she not know what was going on in the government office? Meet the wife of the prefect's family.

Mrs. Ma didn't think about it at all, and immediately decided that Qi Qingxi was a fake official: "You Guan family, you dare to find someone to pretend to be an official, what is your intention? Do you want to kill our Shao family?"

Qi Qingxi sneered, and said slowly: "Maybe it didn't exist before, but I planted a loquat tree in the yard a while ago. If you are interested, I can take you to have a look."

It's really a waste of energy to think that Guan's has to deal with such unknown schemes every day.

Qi Qingxi looked at Mrs. Ma and her daughter-in-law, and felt that the two were very ridiculous: "You say that I am a fake official, just relying on a loquat tree? You obviously invited me to come for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but why are you here now? Are you going to turn me over to the government? Forget it, your Shao family has a great career, and a small magistrate will definitely not pay attention to it, so I will leave today."

After all, he wanted to walk away.

Mrs. Ma looked at her daughter-in-law with a look of bewilderment. Could it be that they made a mistake?But how could the Guan family know the relatives of the magistrate's family.

Guan smirked inwardly. In the past, due to her status as a daughter-in-law, she always kept a low profile in front of Ma. She never thought that one day she would see Ma slumped.

But she couldn't really watch the guests she had invited go away in anger, Guan immediately bowed to Qi Qingxi: "My mother-in-law and younger siblings acted unintentionally, I hope you will forgive me."

"Forget it, today I will not care about you two for the sake of the young lady." Qi Qingxi walked up to the younger brother and sister of the Guan family, looked her up and down, "I heard that your father is the general judge in the government office. Why didn't he tell you that a new loquat tree was planted in the backyard of the government office? Of course, he is a mere sixth-rank general judge, so he has no right to enter and leave the backyard of the government office at will, don't you think?"

Qi Qingxi chuckled, followed Guan Shi and left, leaving Ma Shi and the two of them staring at each other on the ground.

Guan brought Qi Qingxi to her courtyard, fearing that Qi Qingxi would really feel uncomfortable because of Ma and Ma's rude behavior, and kept saying sorry.

Qi Qingxi didn't feel uncomfortable, but felt a little sympathetic to Guan's mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

And she couldn't help feeling a little glad that she would not face such terrible things in the future, because she knew that Gu Yu's aunt, Wang Shi, was a gentle and generous woman, and she loved Gu Yu very much, so naturally she wouldn't and didn't need to use such unkind things. Influential means to deal with her.

Having said that, she never seemed to have heard Gu Yu talk about his parents, but only knew that he was raised by his uncle and aunt.

"What are you thinking about?"

A familiar gentle voice came from behind, Qi Qingxi turned her head away, Guan Shi and Sequoia Ginkgo left at some unknown time, leaving only her and Gu Yu who was slowly walking towards her in the huge courtyard.

Qi Qingxi looked at Gu Yu in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to the banquet with Madam." Gu Yu stepped forward and took Qi Qingxi's hand, rubbing the back of her hand with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Madam forgot to bring me with you when you went out to the banquet. I had to come here by myself."

Today he deliberately went to the Yamen in advance to arrange the affairs in advance, so that he could come back earlier to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, but when he returned to the Yamen, he heard a report from his servants that this little heartless man had gone to someone's house to be a guest.

Qi Qingxi naturally saw that Gu Yu's smile didn't reach her eyes, she shook his hand and said, "I see you've been very busy recently, so I didn't mention it to you because I was afraid you wouldn't have time to come out as a guest."

Hearing this, Gu Yu thought that he was so busy recently that he didn't even have time to eat with her, so he said softly: "In a few days, the affairs of Linzhou Mansion can be arranged, and we can just go back to Beijing." Catch up with Shen Zheng's wedding."

Qi Qingxi was a little surprised when she heard about Shen Zheng's big marriage. She remembered that she had mentioned the relationship between Qi Qingqing and Li Qiming to Gu Yu before. Why did Shen Zheng still want to marry Qi Qingqing and advance the marriage?

Gu Yu seemed to know what Qi Qingxi was thinking, and explained: "Shen Zheng has divorced that Miss Qi, and now he is going to marry Zhao Jingwan, the second daughter of the Marquis of Changxing with whom he was a childhood sweetheart."

"This is... what's going on?" Qi Qingxi looked at Gu Yu suspiciously.

Gu Yu also only received family letters in the past few days, and one of them was a letter written to him by Shen Zheng.

In the letter, Shen Zheng mentioned that he had already investigated and found out that the relationship between Qi Qingqing and King An was really extraordinary, so he thought of a way to take the lead in exposing the relationship between Qi Qingqing and King An in public. Fulfilling Qi Qingqing's wish, she divorced her from the marriage, and allowed her to successfully marry King An and become King An's side concubine.

The marriage between Shen Zheng and the second daughter of the Marquis of Changxing was a marriage bestowed by the empress dowager in the palace, and the marriage date was set before the twelfth lunar month.

Gu Yu's aunt Wang's letter also told Gu Yu to take Qi Qingxi back with her to attend her cousin Shen Zheng's big wedding.

Gu Yu has been extremely busy these days, and she hasn't had time to tell Qi Qingxi about it.

Gu Yu reached out and brushed Qi Qingxi's messy hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said softly: "I originally planned to arrange the affairs of Linzhou Mansion earlier so that we could go back before the year and invite the elders in the family Choose a good day and auspicious day, and settle the marriage as soon as possible. Okay?"

Qi Qingxi lowered her head, rolled the belt in front of Gu Yu's clothes with her fingers, and nodded slightly with a slightly red face.

Seeing Qi Qingxi nodding her head, Gu Yu hugged her into her arms full of joy, and carefully planned the future of the two of them: "After we get married, we will naturally move out of my uncle's house. I have a house in Huanghuafang. The layout next to your uncle's house should be the same as that of General Li's house. Xi'er first thinks about what kind of house he likes, and then sends someone to repair it in advance. I remember that Ah Nuan wanted a decent house. The place to live on a swing frame, when the time comes, help her build one in the yard..."

Qi Qingxi didn't expect that the owner of the scary house that Ah Yue was talking about was actually Gu Yu.

What she didn't expect was that Gu Yu still remembered that he promised Ah Nuan to let her live in the courtyard with swings.

Qi Qingxi even clearly remembered the joyful look in Ah Nuan's eyes in the back kitchen of the Ansui County Yamen, and Gu Yu's saying that the two of them should get married.

At that time, Gu Yu even winked with Ah Nuan to tell her to keep it secret.

In fact, she heard this sentence clearly at the time.

"Gu Yu." Qi Qingxi called out softly, interrupting Gu Yu's words.

"Ok?"

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, resting on her toes, and left a light kiss on his lips.
