"Madam, I advise you to think about it carefully." Yu Weishuang seemed to see through all her plans and just smiled: "Do you think I will honestly swallow this matter until I die?"

Mrs. Xiao Yu stared at her.

"All I want is what originally belongs to me. What are you asking for?" Yu Weishuang said.

She knew that this woman was somewhat intelligent and could understand what she meant.

Mrs. Xiao Yu sat there sweating, her mind racing.

Now that the fruit was exposed, would Yu Weishuang keep it to herself? Her eyes swept over the unfamiliar maid beside her. Was she the eldest princess' spy?

How could the eldest princess interfere in such matters!

Mrs. Xiao Yu gritted her teeth.

The manager is her man. If this matter is exposed from her hands, how could that man let her off?

Yu Weishuang watched her expression change, and finally return to the fake smile she had at the beginning.

"Xiao Shuang, you see... it's not easy for me either. I've been running the family business for many years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard... and you've grown up safely. Isn't that right?" Mrs. Xiao Yu said.

Yu Weishuang just smiled and said nothing.

"What do you want?" Mrs. Xiao Yu asked cautiously.

"It all depends on your sincerity." Yu Weishuang said, "Let's stop here today. I'm a little tired. Please go back, Madam."

A few strong maids came in and politely asked the lady to move aside.

Mrs. Xiao Yu wanted to say something but stopped herself. She glanced at Yu Weishuang's face, thought about it, and finally left.

"Master." The maid beside Yu Weishuang leaned over and said, "Miss Qing Pei asked the kitchen to stew some soup, and it can be used now."

"Let's go." Yu Weishuang put down the teacup.

……

Gu Yue finally lived a peaceful life.

The investigation of the poisonous weeds was at a standstill. Yu Weishuang seemed to be busy with the affairs of the Yu family and had not sent a reply yet. It was not the time for King Yin to reveal his strength, and he had to investigate the theft of the study in King Yin's mansion, so he put Gu Yue, a piece of fat meat that was set in stone, on hold.

He Le did send a few letters. The letters said that King Yin seemed to have some doubts about this matter, but he was tricked and evaded. In addition, he lived well in Luoyang, and attached some famous food recipes, saying that he wanted to give Gu Yue some reference.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't contact me again.

Gu Yue's life suddenly became peaceful.

Maybe it was because of the natural location of the courtyard in the mountain, but Gu felt more and more comfortable living there. He planted vegetables, watered them, picked up eggs… He went to Liuli Town twice a month to check accounts and hold meetings. Everything went smoothly and comfortably.

The only thing that was not going well was the matter with Hangdou Bookstore. After all, he was not a professional author, and the popularity votes for his immortal cultivation novels could not get high. After about six or seven issues, Su Jian aborted the series, and his monthly income dropped sharply.

However, the column of Unsolved Mysteries of Northern Qin was a success. After all, it was a modern bestseller with a successful track record, and Northern Qin was not an era where everyone advocated science, so these novel and strange stories were well received.

Gu Yue also discovered that he was better at writing short stories. He also had a ready-made source of inspiration for reference - the Northern Qin Geographical Atlas and the endless folk legends that had not been eliminated by the popularization of science.

The pen name Yue Gu Qianshan gradually became famous.

Gu Yue was exercising in the yard while he was free. Shi San acted as his martial arts master, but Gu Dashi's body was extremely weak, so he was only a little stronger. Gu Yue tried to practice qigong in his body according to Shi San's explanation, but he still couldn't feel the existence of "qi".

If he hadn't seen Shi San demonstrate with his own eyes how to use internal force to shatter rocks, he would have thought that internal force was a scam!

Maybe I just don't have the talent.

The fate of being a cannon fodder, haha.

Two years passed in a flash.

In the isolated courtyard, the perception of the passage of time is not so obvious. Gu Yue's face has not changed much, but if he returns to Gujia Village now, I am afraid no one can recognize at a glance that this person is the original Gu Dashi.

Changes in temperament can have a very obvious effect on a person.

...Gu Xu's appearance changes are even more exaggerated.

Gu Yue really found it hard to accept. Although when he read the original text, the author repeatedly emphasized Gu Xu's handsome appearance, cold temperament and height of more than 1.8 meters, and he had imagined it in his mind, but when he actually faced such a male protagonist, he still felt that he couldn't open his eyes.

Where is my little brother who is only as good as the ribs!

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have given Gu Xu so much bone soup.

Eighteen years old, an age that is considered an adult in the modern world. In the past two years, Gu Xu's height has grown rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and Gu Yue can clearly feel the changes almost every month.

When it grew to his shoulders, he kept praising Gu Xu for growing so fast and said he would definitely be tall in the future.

When it reached his chin, he was very satisfied and felt that it was no longer short for a boy.

When it grew to his eyebrows, he felt it was just right.

When he grew big enough to look his original body, Gu Dashi in the eye, he felt a little uncomfortable.

By now, Gu Xu was already a little taller than him. Whenever Gu Xu looked at this "big boy", he always felt unreal.

This is so big!

Completely different from Gu Dashi, the tall Gu Xu has a well-proportioned and slender figure, without the bulkiness of a muscular man. His hair is tied high behind his head, and he has not yet put on a crown, but he is still a spirited young man. His aura is becoming more and more solemn and steady, and when he is not smiling, he is extremely oppressive.

When facing Gu Yue, he naturally smiled most of the time.

Gu Yue likes his eyelashes very much.

Very long, beautiful eyes, slightly squinting with a bit of danger, dark eyes, a pair of flying eyebrows that look good without any trimming. Standard male protagonist appearance.

The lips are light in color, not the standard "thin lips" of male protagonists, but thick, beautifully shaped, and soft.

Gu Yue closed his eyes.

Why is he staring at other people's mouths? Pervert!

No, it was Gu Xu who was too close!

He put his hand on Gu Xu's shoulder and asked him to stay away.

"Hmm?" Gu Xu was confused, his attention still on the page in Gu Yue's hand, "What is this? Aren't you going to continue writing about the sparrow ghost from the last issue?"

"It's an invitation from Su Zhen, asking me to go to Luoyang to attend Hang Dou's...signing event." Gu Yue shifted his thoughts, "This is something other than the main text, and it will be included as a special content in the published book."

He scratched his hair with the hand holding the brush: "I never thought that what I have written in the past two years is already enough to fill a book."

"You're going to Luoyang?" Gu Xu didn't hide the hesitation and worry on his face: "It's dangerous."

"I will wear a mask and change my appearance." Gu Yue said.

He has always had some concerns about making money.

Gu Xu's biological father could make a cave full of gold ingots with just a wave of his hand, but even though he had been developing new products and turned the fried chicken shop into a comprehensive snack shop, the money he made was still not even a fraction of what others made.

He even doubted whether it was true that Prince Shen embezzled the gold mine.

Money is so hard to make!
