"Mother Luo, it's easy to say, but where does the money for ice come from? Where should I buy ice from? What's the price of ice now?"

"This……"

Stumped by Liu Tianshu's three questions, Mother Luo looked at Liu Tianshu with an unpleasant expression.

"Madam, I am just a servant, I don't think as much as you do, but the old lady can't be without ice..."

Before Mother Luo could finish her words, Liu Tianshu slammed the table and glared at Mother Luo.

"What you said about the old lady being unable to live without ice is just you servants trying to take advantage of the situation. Don't use the old lady as a cover."

"Madam, I am doing everything for you. I dare not have any selfish motives."

Being pressed down by Liu Tianshu with a big hat, Mother Luo immediately knelt on the ground.

"Madam, please understand. The reason why I came here to ask about Bing was really because of the old lady's intention..."

"The old lady knows exactly how big our ice cellar is and how much ice it can store. If it weren't for the instigation of servants like you, the old lady would never have said anything."

"Madam, please understand..."

Mother Luo wanted to continue explaining, but Liu Tianshu didn't give her the chance at all.

"The old lady has been in charge of the family for more than ten years. She knows the current situation in the mansion better than anyone else. Why don't you go back and ask the old lady whether we should open the ice cellar and use ice now, or wait until the banquet to use ice. It's all up to the old lady to decide."

Mother Luo insisted: "Madam, ice is essential for the banquet. We can pay to buy it outside..."

Before Luo Mama could finish, Liu Tianshu interrupted with a sneer, "There has been no such expenditure in the mansion in the past few years. Did you pay for the ice, Luo Mama?"

Naturally, Mother Luo was unwilling to pay the money, and seeing that Liu Tianshu was adamant, she had no choice but to leave.

After seeing off Luo Mama, Qingshan came back and said happily, "Miss, I have blocked all the windows in Aunt Liu's room and hung a thick cotton curtain at the door to ensure that no wind can get into the room. When the Marquis came over, he praised me for my good work."

Knowing that Gu Jinyun would have this reaction, Liu Tianshu smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Remember to tell the people in Liu Garden to take good care of Aunt Liu, and to eat light meals three times a day."

"This……"

Qingshan said in embarrassment: "Miss, this Liuyuan has its own small kitchen, and there are five taels of silver per day for expenses. I'm afraid the people in Liuyuan will not listen to us."

"Then just remove her small kitchen." Liu Tianshu said without thinking: "In the beginning, we set up a small kitchen for Concubine Liu of the Liu family because she was pregnant with the Marquis's child. Now that the Marquis's child is gone, she naturally can't have a small kitchen anymore. Even the five taels of silver per day for the courtyard can be cancelled."

"Miss, the Marquis..."

"It's okay, I'll talk to him in person."

After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, she asked with concern, "Is the Marquis still in Liuyuan?"

"My lady, the Marquis has returned to Fuguangyuan."

"Really……"

She thought that Gu Jinyun would stay in Liu Tian'ai's yard for one night to show his appreciation for her, but she didn't expect that this man was even more cold-blooded and heartless than she had imagined.

No wonder he didn't feel guilty at all about his calculations in his previous life. It turns out that this is the kind of person he is at heart.

"Let's go to Fuguangyuan."

Qingshan reminded: "Miss, there are two girls from the palace living in Fuguang Courtyard..."

"It's okay."

Liu Tianshu said calmly: "It's just a few words, we'll be back after that."

After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, she straightened her clothes and let Qingshan and Guanxue accompany her to the door.

Gu Jinyun returned to Fuguangyuan with a heavy heart, and was faced with the sweet words of Taoer, Haitang and Qiangwei.

Looking at the three beautiful women in front of him, Gu Jinyun's lost mood was comforted. However, when he thought of the old doctor saying that Liu Tian'ai would never be pregnant again in this life, he still felt inexplicably sad.

After being stuck in the Marquis' Mansion for three years, he was very moved by the fact that Liu Tian'ai, who was different from Tao'er, a beauty who regarded him as her heaven, took the initiative to show her affection to him, otherwise he would not have disregarded etiquette and had sex with her.

If you think about it carefully, he still has feelings for Liu Tian'ai. However, they have only been together for a few months, and there is no way for him to choose her and the child over his future reputation and career.

Gu Jinyun was heavy-hearted because Liu Tian'ai would never be able to bear children again. He didn't know how to face Liu Tian'ai after she woke up, so he took advantage of her unconsciousness to return to his yard.

"My Lord, have some tea..."

Before Tao'er's tea was placed in front of Gu Jinyun, Qiangwei came over with a plate of grapes that were as big and round as purple pearls.

"Why drink tea on such a hot day? Eat some iced grapes..."

"Yes, you should eat iced grapes on such a hot day."

Haitang picked up a grape with her fair and tender little hands, carefully peeled the grape skin, and fed it to Gu Jinyun's mouth.

Gu Jinyun has lived in a wealthy family since childhood, with countless servants and maids around her, but she has never been taken care of like this.

I enjoyed eating the grapes in Haitang's hand, but I didn't expect my lips to accidentally touch the white fingers holding the grapes. I inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure in my heart, and subconsciously put the white fingers in my mouth.

Haitang didn't expect Gu Jinyun to be so bold. She was shocked and instinctively wanted to retract her fingers, but he licked her lightly and her face instantly turned red with shyness.

"Master Hou..."

A coquettish cry awakened Gu Jinyun's mind, but he hugged her in his arms.

"The Queen Mother asked you to come to the Marquis' Mansion to serve me. You are destined to be my people."

As he spoke, Gu Jinyun lowered his head and was about to place a kiss on Haitang's lips, when he heard Xiao Sanyuan report from outside the house: "My Lord, the Madam is here, and she said she has something to discuss with you..."

When Gu Jinyun heard that Liu Tianshu was coming, he instantly lost all interest. Then, thinking about the suffering Liu Tian'ai had endured, his intuition told him that Liu Tianshu came to seek justice for Liu Tian'ai.

Pushing Haitang away in frustration, Gu Jinyun said unhappily, "You three go down first..."

"Yes!"

Knowing that Gu Jinyun and Liu Tianshu had something to say, Tao'er and the other two did not dare to compete for favor anymore and left the room at the same time.

Seeing Tao'er and the other two coming out, Gu Jinyun was still in the room, and Xiao Sanyuan reported again: "My Lord, Madam said that the room is stuffy and hot, so she is waiting for you in the pavilion by the lotus pond in the yard..."

"understood."

The lotus pond was indeed cooler than the room. After hearing what Xiao Sanyuan said, although Gu Jinyun muttered that he had too many things to do, he still got up and walked out the door.

"My Lord, the Madam is waiting for you by the lotus pond over there."

Seeing Gu Jinyun coming out, Xiao Sanyuan immediately pointed out where Liu Tianshu was.

Liu Tianshu is undoubtedly beautiful, and has a quiet and elegant temperament. Standing in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, gently waving a round fan in her hand, she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting.

At this moment, Liu Tianyi, Tao'er, Haitang and Qiangwei, none of them could make his heart beat faster than the beauty in front of him...
