After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin's hand shook, and the fish on the chopsticks fell onto the plate.

Doesn’t the original owner ever eat spicy food?

She had never paid attention to this problem before.

Suddenly she remembered that when she and Xie Ran just got married, Xie Ran asked her if she could eat spicy food. So did he ever doubt his identity?

Gu Rou just asked casually, but when she saw that Gu Jin didn't answer for a long time, she became suspicious.

"I like spicy food, so Ah Jin ate with me."

Xie Ran slowly spoke to help Gu Jin out of the situation.

Gu Rou curled her lips and said in a sarcastic tone, "Big sister is really a wife who follows her husband's lead!"

In order to please Xie Ran, she even changed her taste. What a little bitch!

Xie Qing suddenly felt annoyed.

Once upon a time, she also pretended to be elegant in order to please herself. Although she was always laughed at for her lack of knowledge, she had always been trying to get closer to herself.

Now that he was only marrying Gu Rou for expediency, would she throw all those years of feelings behind her to cater to another man?

She made him feel so strange and so disappointed.

After leaving the Anding Marquis's Mansion, as soon as he stepped into the carriage, Gu Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Do you... have anything you want to tell me?"

Xie Ran looked at Gu Jin, thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam is very beautiful today."

Gu Jin; “…”

"Who told you this!"

"What did the lady want to say?"

There was a tiny light in Xie Ran's eyes, so gentle and tender that one could easily be immersed in it if one was not careful.

"Aren't you curious about why I suddenly changed my taste?"

Xie Ran smiled softly and said slowly, "Madam, your perspective on people has also changed, hasn't it?

Madam, when you grow up, you will naturally know what is better."

Xie Ran's smile was as gentle as usual. Gu Jin felt relieved, thinking that Xie Ran didn't seem to have any doubts.

"You are quite good at flattering yourself." Gu Jin curled his lips and muttered softly, not noticing the sharpness hidden in Xie Ranmo's eyes.

No matter what happened to her, the Gu Jin in front of her was much more interesting than before.

He wanted to keep her by his side.

But not for anything else, just to find out the secret hidden in her.

……

Bai Yiyi rejected Liu's suggestion that she move to Fengwuyuan and went to the guest house with Gu Baozhu.

Gu Baozhu looked around with disgust on her face, "The guest house is still a bit shabby after all, it's not as good as the main house!

I think we should move to Fengwu Courtyard. Gu Jin doesn’t come back often anyway, so no one will know about it.”

"Didn't mother hear what General Xie said at the banquet?"

Gu Baozhu disagreed, "So what? We have all moved in. Can he still kick us all out?"

Bai Yiyi shook her head, her almond eyes clear, "General Xie really loves her, otherwise he wouldn't have openly criticized my grandmother just now.

Although General Xie is not the eldest son of the Marquisate, he is young and promising and is deeply favored by the emperor. Such a person will not be inferior to others. There is no need for us to offend him for a small gain."

Seeing that Gu Baozhu had taken her words to heart, Bai Yiyi continued to persuade her, "Mother, since we plan to stay in the capital, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

My cousin is different now. There is no hatred between us. You should not make things difficult for her in the future.

Even though my second cousin seems to have married better, I think my eldest cousin is better in terms of wrist. "

Just by looking at Xie Qing and Xie Ran's attitude towards the two of them, it can be seen that Gu Rou probably has no say at all in the Marquis' Mansion.

"I can't believe that this idiot Gu Jin has such good fortune!" Gu Baozhu was furious. Zhao, a commoner girl, married her brother and became the wife of an uncle, and her daughter married the promising young man Xie Ran.

The lives of this mother and daughter are really better than each other.

Gu Baozhu looked at Bai Yiyi with pity, stroked her hair and sighed, "In terms of knowledge and intelligence, who can compare with you, Gu Jin or Gu Rou? The Bai family was originally a noble family, but it's a pity that your father's poor health has implicated you.

I think Xie Qing and Xie Ran are both excellent. If they are your husbands, I will be completely at peace in my life."

Bai Yiyi held Gu Baozhu's hand and smiled, and said softly: "Mother, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself. There will always be a time to win and lose. The one who laughs the most in the end is the real winner."

There are endless opportunities in the prosperous Shengjing, so who knows if she can find her true love.

There was a flash of ambition in Bai Yiyi's eyes. The Anding Marquis' Mansion and the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion were her first stepping stones. Perhaps she could even stand in a higher position than Gu Jin and Gu Rou!

……

Gu Jin wanted to go to Jinyu Pavilion to take a look. She had been busy with her two shops recently and had not had much time to visit Jinyu Pavilion.

"I don't have any plans today. Let's go together." Xie Ran smiled gently, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Some people may have been ready to take action for a long time, and I wonder what kind of drama will be played out today.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and the carriage was slowly driving towards the Jinyu Pavilion. Gu Jin simply closed his eyes and rested.

The girl's face under the pale sunlight is as rosy as peach blossoms and her skin is as white as jade. She is as radiant as a flower tree piled with snow and a crabapple tree.

Xie Ran looked at Gu Jin quietly. When she shut her mouth and stopped saying shocking things, she looked quite beautiful. No wonder someone could not forget her.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Gu Jin opened his eyes without warning. His eyes were as bright as spring water, as if a ray of starlight fell into his dark eyes.

"Reached?"

Xie Ran quickly lowered his eyes, raised his hand to open the car window curtain and looked out, and said in a calm voice: "Not yet, but it seems something happened outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jin pulled aside the curtain and stepped out.

How can you not go and see the excitement?

Xie Ran: “…” She really looks better when she’s asleep.

Many people stopped on both sides of the street to watch. A girl in cloth clothes and straw sandals fell in the middle of the road, which is why Mo Yin suddenly reined in his horse.

Two burly men came over aggressively, one of them with a scar on his face roughly grabbed the girl's arm, raised his hand and slapped her, "You stinky bitch, you dare to run!

Your damn father owes us so much money, he can't just walk away and leave us brothers to starve. Selling you to Yingchunlou is just the right way to pay off his gambling debts!"

The girl's face was filled with tears as she begged desperately, "Two gentlemen, please let me go!

I will definitely pay back the money my father owes you, please don't sell me to a brothel!"

"That's easy to say, but what are you going to give me in return?

If you run away, we won't get a penny, so we might as well just sell you off!"

The girl looked around helplessly. Although the people around her sympathized with her, they were unable to help her.

It was obvious that these two men were not easy to deal with, and they had no spare money to pay off her debts, so they could only shake their heads and sigh.

The girl shed tears of despair, and her eyes suddenly fell on Gu Jin who had just jumped off the carriage, just like a drowning person seeing the last straw.

"Madam, please save me!"
