After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 9 Suspicious identity
Early the next morning, Gu Jin opened her sleepy eyes at the call of her maid. What came into her sight were the bright-colored bed curtains and a timid little maid in a pink bodice. All this told her that last night was not a dream, and she had really traveled through time.
Gu Jin stretched lazily and tapped his stiff shoulders.
This ancient bed was so hard that it was no match for the latex mattress she had custom-made at great expense.
"Madam, I have prepared some warm water." The little maid didn't dare to look up at Gu Jin and spoke in a muffled voice.
Gu Jin glanced at her sideways. Wasn't this the little maid who was scared away by her last night?
Judging from her expression, it is obvious that she has a deep misunderstanding!
Gu Jin took the handkerchief she handed over with both hands and chatted with her casually: "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
"My name is Qingping, and I am thirteen years old."
Gu Jin frowned, "Qingpin? This is not a good name."
Gu Jin loves money and beautiful women, but he can't stand hearing people around him call him such an unlucky name.
Qing Ping said in panic, "Then please give me a name, Madam."
Gu Jin thought seriously, "What do you think of the name Ruyi?"
Qingping pursed her lips. She felt it was unpleasant but she didn't dare to say it.
The names of the maids in the mansion are all very poetic, and Ruyi is too vulgar.
Seeing that she didn't like it, Gu Jin thought of a few more considerately, "Good luck? Wealth? Ingot? ..."
Qing Ping: “…”
"I like the name Ruyi very much. Thank you, Madam, for giving it to me!" Ruyi spoke quickly, fearing that she would be given a name like Wangcai in the evening.
"As long as you like it." Gu Jin smiled and said, "You don't have to be shy around me in the future. As long as you treat me sincerely, I will definitely not let you lose your wealth."
"Yes, I will serve the young lady loyally." This is their duty as maids, and she would do it even if Gu Jin didn't say it.
Gu Jin nodded, cleared his throat and said, "Also, what happened last night was actually a misunderstanding..."
Without waiting for Gu Jin to explain, Ruyi showed an expression that she understood everything and swore to the sky, "Don't worry, Madam, I have not told anyone about this except Madam, and I will never tell anyone in the future.
The Third Young Master is as beautiful as a fallen immortal, so it is only natural that you cannot control yourself for a moment."
Gu Jin: “…”
This kid is a bit naughty!
"What are you talking about?" A voice as gentle as jade came, and the two looked at Xie Ran at the same time.
Ruyi replied without thinking: "My lord, I was just telling the young mistress about how she touched you last night..."
Gu Jin: “…” I promised not to tell anyone!
Ruyi also realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and she covered her mouth with her hands, looking very uneasy.
Xie Ran smiled, raised his hand gently, and said in a gentle voice, "Go down."
"Yes." Ruyi ran away with the copper basin in her hand and her face red.
Gu Jin felt a little embarrassed and said quickly: "I was actually treating you, not what she said."
"Yes, I know. Madam, don't worry too much." Xie Ran sat next to Gu Jin, poured her a cup of tea, and said softly, "What do you usually like to eat for breakfast, noodles or rice porridge? I'll ask the kitchen to bring it to you."
"Shouldn't we go and pay our respects and offer tea?" Ruyi had just called her up to ask her to wash and dress up and go offer tea to the elders.
Xie Ran smiled gently and said softly: "It takes a lot of effort to serve tea. If you don't eat something to fill your stomach, you will not be able to bear it.
I have just recovered from a serious illness, so it doesn’t matter if I come later.”
"I'll listen to you." Gu Jin agreed readily. She would not refuse anything that was beneficial to her.
Gu Jin likes to drink porridge and ordered some refreshing side dishes.
Xie Ran asked considerately, "Can you handle spicy food? There are two side dishes that require spicy food. If you are not used to it, I will ask the kitchen to make something that will cleanse your stomach."
"It's okay, I like spicy food." Gu Jin likes spicy food very much and can't live without it.
Xie Ran smiled warmly, like the bright moon and the gentle breeze, "Okay, then you wait a moment."
Gu Jin held his chin with his hand and looked at Xie Ran's back. This man seemed to be a good guy for the time being. At least he didn't have the problem of ancient male chauvinism. It was worth it that he saved his life.
What she didn't know was that Xie Ran was currently in the study listening to his subordinates' reports. He was leaning lazily on the back of his chair, tapping on the table with his bony fingers.
"Master, I followed your instructions and inquired about Miss Gu's eating habits. This is what I compiled."
Xie Ran took the letter casually, and his dark eyes swept across the letter. When he saw the words "I don't like spicy food", the corners of his lips raised a meaningful arc, "It's getting more and more interesting."
Originally, I thought that Gu Jin had changed so much because he was deliberately hiding his incompetence before, but now it seems hard to say whether his new wife is Gu Jin or not.
"Master, is there something wrong with Miss Gu?" Mo Yin asked worriedly.
Xie Ran placed the paper under the candlelight and burned it to ashes. His dark eyes reflected the orange flame like a wolf's eyes in the dark night. "Don't spread this matter. I have my own destiny."
He wanted to see what his young lady wanted to do!
