Gu Zhizhi shook his head slightly, "Thank you, Fifth Prince. Zhizhi has already caused you a lot of trouble. Zhizhi can handle this matter on his own."

Luo Jiaojiao looked at her with even more satisfaction in her eyes.

In fact, as long as Gu Zhizhi opens his mouth, Fufeng and Luo Jiaojiao will definitely not refuse Gu Zhizhi's request.

Gu's father was a married woman. According to Dajing's laws, if Gu's mother still had heirs after her death, all property should belong to Gu Zhizhi.

As long as Gu Zhizhi said a word, the entire Gu family, Luo Jiaojiao, could be brought back to Gu Zhizhi, let alone the Gu couple, but she didn't.

"Don't you want to take the Gu Mansion back? According to the law, those things should be yours." Fufeng said.

Fufeng indeed grew up with Luo Jiaojiao, and he spoke out what Luo Jiaojiao was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth.

The two people's eyes fell on Gu Zhizhi's fair and delicate face.

Gu Zhizhi shook his head gently, "The Gu family has nothing belonging to my mother anymore. I have brought all my mother's belongings to the capital. As long as they are safe and sound, I don't want to get involved with the Gu family."

"I have no ambitions for the small Gu family." She raised her eyes and looked at the vast sky, with a look of yearning in her eyes.

On the way home, Fufeng and Luo Jiaojiao sat in the carriage.

The carriage shook slightly.

Fufeng opened his sleepy eyes, and his gaze fell on Luo Jiaojiao's face opposite.

It was officially afternoon, and a ray of sunlight penetrated through the curtain of the carriage and fell on Luo Jiaojiao's side face, as if covering her with a layer of holy brilliance.

The beauty is refined and unconventional, unlike the colors in the world.

Fufeng admired it quietly for a long time. Finally, Luo Jiaojiao seemed to feel Fufeng's gaze and reached out to touch her face.

He asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Fufeng shook his head.

"Jiaojiao, don't you think Gu Zhizhi has appeared too frequently recently?" Fufeng's voice sounded softly.

Luo Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, "Really...why didn't I feel it?"

"Why do you suddenly ask like this? Don't you like her?"

Fufeng frowned for a moment, "Why should I like her?"

After what happened today, Fufeng admired Gu Zhizhi a little, but that was just a superficial appreciation for a stranger.

He never thought about having any other contact with Gu Zhizhi.

He felt that Luo Jiaojiao's question was a bit over the line.

Luo Jiaojiao quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, you don't like her, but I quite like her."

Fufeng looked at Luo Jiaojiao's pretty face and opened his mouth to say something.

The carriage stopped.

Luo Jiaojiao smiled and got off the carriage, waving to Fufeng with a bright smile, "I'm here, you should go back early."

Fufeng's emotions that were just about to come out were forcibly suppressed.

He nodded helplessly at Luo Jiaojiao, watched Luo Jiaojiao enter the gate of Luo Mansion, and then ordered the coachman to set off.

The next day,

When Fufeng arrived at the door of Luo's house, he happened to see Gu Zhizhi stepping out of the carriage, holding a mahogany food box in his hand.

Gu Zhizhi saw a smile on Fufeng's lips, "Fifth Prince, are you also here to look for Jiaojiao?"

Fufeng nodded slightly, "You too?"

Gu Zhizhi raised the food box in his hand and said with a smile, "Yes, I made some lotus cakes to thank you for your generous words yesterday."

In fact, Gu Zhizhi didn't know whether he would meet the fifth prince today, but he still did his part.

After all, the fifth prince was in the palace, and it was not something she could see just by meeting him.

Fufeng nodded, and the two walked side by side into Luo Mansion.

Luo Jiaojiao had already washed up and walked into the yard with a smile, "Why did you two come together today?"

She glanced at Fufeng jokingly.

Yesterday, she said she didn't like Gu Zhizhi, so she came with her today, which was really disrespectful.

You can't win a wife by being tough-talking.

"I met the fifth prince at the gate of Luo Mansion, so we came together."

Gu Zhizhi said with a smile, "I made some lotus cakes today for you to try. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of Sister Yan, it is still passable. You guys have a try."

As she spoke, she opened the mahogany box in her hand.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, the scent of lotus cake rushed into their noses.

On an aqua porcelain plate, a lifelike lotus cake lay quietly for a few days. The color was the same as the bright lotus blooming in the pool.

The layers of crispy cakes are still slightly shiny.

Luo Jiaojiao reached out and took one, carefully placing it in her hand, as if a delicate and delicate palm lotus had sprouted out of her white palm for no apparent reason.

The lotus cake is still warm in your hand when you take it, and it looks like it has just been made.

The closer you look at this lotus cake, the more realistic the details become.

Luo Jiaojiao said in amazement, "Why are you not good at your craftsmanship? How does this look like a snack? It is simply a work of art! It is so exquisite that it can be presented as a tribute!"

Fufeng nodded in agreement, "This dim sum is comparable to the dim sum chef in the Imperial Kitchen."

"You haven't eaten yet, so don't praise me. You've made me feel embarrassed by your praise." Gu Zhizhi said with a smile.

Luo Jiaojiao took a bite of the lotus cake on her hand, and the layers of crispy texture instantly exploded in her entire mouth. The filling inside was sweet but not greasy.

Although the lotus cake was fried, it didn't feel greasy at all, and even had a bit of refreshing sweetness. This complex taste made Luo Jiaojiao squint her eyes.

"This is the most delicious snack I have eaten in these years!" Luo Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

What she said was not false.

Luo Yan's cooking is delicious, but his dim sum is mediocre.

Maybe it's because they worked their way up from the bottom, and she doesn't like those delicate snacks that are labor-intensive and flashy.

Fufeng was not a person who had a strong appetite for food, but he had eaten two of these lotus cakes.

Seeing this, Gu Zhizhi smiled and his eyebrows curled up, "You can just eat if you like. If you like, I will make you other snacks another day."

Luo Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, "It's really delicious!"

"I have liked these exquisite snacks since I was a child, and I have spent a lot of time learning from you. I just need to get them into your mouth."

"If you open a dim sum shop in the capital, I'm afraid you will be robbed by the wives of all the aristocratic families in the capital." Luo Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Gu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Can I really do this?"

During this period of time, she had attended many banquets held by ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, and naturally she had also heard about several women from the Luo family.

Although those women and girls whom she could not name had many complaints about the Luo family women's behavior of doing business in public, but
