Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

"My Lord, where are you going?"

The little maidservant looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face as rosy as a peach. Two pink peach blossom beads were worn in her hair, making her look even more beautiful than flowers.

The little maid smiled shyly and had a shallow dimple on her left cheek, which made her look more playful. She was really a little beauty.

Seeing the little maid, Gu Jinyun felt a little better.

"Tao'er, come with me for a walk."

"Yes!"

The little maid gave Xiao Sanyuan a subtle wink, then quickly followed Gu Jinyun into the yard.

Gu Jinyun said she was going out for a walk, but she just stood by a small pond in the yard, staring at the brightly blooming lotus flowers in the pond.

"My Lord, I heard from the servants in the mansion about you and the Third Miss. I am really touched by what you have done for the Third Miss. It is my blessing to follow such a kind and righteous master like you."

"Little girl, everything I did was for another woman, aren't you jealous at all?"

Gu Jinyun chuckled and looked back at the little maid.

"Tao'er being able to follow the Marquis is the greatest blessing. I dare not expect more."

"Don't you want to stay with grandpa and have a status?"

Gently shaking her head, the little maid said seriously: "My Lord is a man of affection and righteousness, and he will never mistreat those around him. What my Lord can give me will definitely not be less than what I can give you. What my Lord does not give me is either because I have not done well enough or it is not suitable for me."

"You are a knowledgeable and interesting person, but..."

Having said that, Gu Jinyun sighed deeply.

"My Lord, you are the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor Guan Zhen still calls you uncle. The only woman in the world who can stand by your side is a woman like Madam who is of noble birth, gentle and beautiful.

It is a great blessing for me to be able to stand behind you. If I still ask for too much, I will be overestimating my own abilities."

"You are full of praise for the lady, but it's a pity that she doesn't know your feelings."

"I don't care. As long as the Marquis and the Madam are well, that is my greatest happiness."

"You!"

Gu Jinyun tapped the little maid's nose lightly.

"Tao'er, how old are you this year?"

Not understanding why Gu Jinyun suddenly asked about her age, the little maid replied cautiously, "I will be seventeen in half a month."

"You're seventeen years old. In other families, girls your age are already married..."

Tao'er was startled and knelt on the ground in a hurry.

"My Lord, I am already yours. I will never marry anyone else in this life. Please don't send me away..."

"Silly girl, you are already my wife, how can you marry someone else..."

After Gu Jinyun finished speaking, he took Tao'er's hand and asked her to stand up.

"Master Hou..."

The words just now were so scary that Taoer's legs were shaking when she stood up.

Noticing Tao'er's strangeness, Gu Jinyun smiled gently.

"According to the original plan, you should have been promoted to concubine after the lady became pregnant, but the old marquis passed away suddenly, which delayed you as well."

Tao'er was obviously relieved when she heard Gu Jinyun's words.

"I don't care about these. I just want to be with the Marquis. But the Madam is so pitiful. She has just entered the mansion and started to mourn for the old Marquis..."

When mentioning this matter, Gu Jinyun couldn't help but think of a sentence that Liu Tian'ai once said.

"Brother-in-law, my sister is good in every way except that she has a bad fate. She is unlucky to her father-in-law. Otherwise, how come the news of the marquis' death in battle came from the border just after she got married?"

Gu Jinyun had never thought that his father’s death might be related to Liu Tianshu, but now he suddenly had a different idea.

"Does Tao'er also think that the old marquis's death is related to the lady's marriage?"

"Why would you think so, sir?"

Tao Er was startled, looked around, and made sure no one was paying attention to this side. She said nervously: "My Lord, please don't say such things in the future. If this gets out, how will my wife live in the future?"

Gu Jinyun was not an ignorant boy, so he naturally knew that this matter could not be talked about casually. He just asked because he suddenly thought of it.

"Well, I won't say that anymore. You are a good person. Just wait a little longer. I will give you a status sooner or later."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Tao'er was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Gu Jinyun.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to kneel down at every turn."

"Yes!"

Tao'er agreed obediently and glanced at the sun which was gradually setting.

"My Lord, it's getting late. I'll go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is going and have someone prepare a few more dishes for you..."

"Those vegetarian dishes all taste the same. Just stay here and chat with me."

"Yes!"

The vegetarian dishes cooked by the chef in the mansion are quite good, but Gu Jinyun grew up in luxury, and after eating even the best food for three years, she has lost interest in it.

Although Tao'er was left to talk, Gu Jinyun couldn't find a topic to start with for a moment and continued to look at the lotus flowers in the pond.

Tao'er was frightened by Gu Jinyun's words just now. Her heart was still beating wildly. Even if she wanted to take the opportunity to say something more, she didn't dare to open her mouth casually...
