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

At this time, Xiao Sanyuan reported from outside the door: "My Lord, Madam said that the ice cellar in our mansion can only be opened when the mansion holds a banquet after the mourning period ends."

"what?"

Gu Jinyun let go of the rose in his arms, walked quickly to the door, and looked at Xiao Sanyuan who was standing at the door, wiping the sweat off his sleeve.

"Did Madam really say that?"

"It is absolutely true. I dare not hide anything."

Xiao Sanyuan kept fanning himself with his wet sleeves as he spoke.

After going out for a run in this hot weather, I came back all sweaty. I thought that with the Marquis's order, the Lady would quickly send ice to the mansion, and it would be worth it even if it was a little hot. However, I didn't expect that the Lady wanted to save the ice in the mansion for the banquet.

The banquet in the Marquis' Mansion was for the brothers and sisters in the family to meet each other. It was of no benefit to Gu Jinyun, so he didn't want to hold the banquet at all.

The reason why he didn't object was that the banquet, whether it was entertaining guests or arranging the banquet, didn't require him to spend any effort, so he just ignored it with a nonchalant attitude.

Counting the days, the mourning period will not start for another month, which means he will have to suffer from the fever for more than a month.

Gu Jinyun grew up in luxury and had never suffered such hardship.

Hearing what Xiao Sanyuan said, Gu Jinyun was so angry that he threw his sleeves and walked out of Fuguang Courtyard.

Seeing Gu Jinyun leave, Haitang and Qiangwei both had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

They also heard the conversation at the door just now. When they thought that they would have to wait a month before they could use the ice, they wanted to go to Liu Tianshu and ask for an explanation right away.

But they have little influence and even if they go over and make a fuss, it will have no effect.

Now they just hope that Gu Jinyun can open the ice cellar this time so that they can also benefit from it.

Liu Tianshu hasn't seen Gu Jinyun for half a month since Liu Tian'ai had a miscarriage. She thought he was drunk in the arms of love and couldn't think of her, the mistress of the house.

Seeing Gu Jinyun appear at the gate of her yard, Liu Tianshu was stunned for a moment, then she raised a beautiful smile.

Liu Tianshu is undoubtedly beautiful. Before I saw her in person, I thought girls like Begonia and Rose were very good. Now that I see a bright and generous beauty like her, I realize that they are nothing but mediocre girls.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that such a beautiful woman was his wife. When a drop of sweat slid from his forehead to his nose, Gu Jinyun remembered the purpose of his coming here.

"Madam, I heard that we can't use ice until after the banquet in our house?"

"Yes!"

Liu Tianshu nodded seriously.

"My Lord, the ice cellar in our mansion is limited in size, and the amount of ice stored in it is not much. In previous years, it was only enough for a few of our main masters to use, so we can open the ice cellar early.

Now we are going to hold a big banquet. In order not to be looked down upon by the ladies of other houses, we need to prepare ice to cool down every room in our house..."

"We can't open the ice house now, so let's go buy some outside..."

Gu Jinyun said without thinking.

"My Lord, the mansion has never spent this much money in previous years. Where did this money come from?"

Although Gu Jinyun had the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he had never been in charge of the affairs of the mansion, so naturally he didn't know the specific situation in the mansion.

Hearing Liu Tianshu talking about money, he said without thinking: "Of course it comes from the public account of the mansion..."

"There is not that much money saved in the palace."

As she spoke, Liu Tianshu took out an account book and was about to hand it to Gu Jinyun, but he pushed it away.

"How much money would it cost to buy a few carts of ice?"

"My Lord, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. This is not just a matter of a few carts of ice."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu was about to start settling the accounts with him, but before she could open her mouth, Gu Jinyun waved her hand to interrupt her.

"I don't want to listen to your big talk. I'm going to use ice tomorrow anyway..."

Before Gu Jinyun could finish his words, a small white hand stretched out in front of him.

"My Lord, the use of ice is not included in your share of the profits. If you want to use ice tomorrow, you can also pay for it."

"How many?"

Ignoring Gu Jinyun's cold face, Liu Tianshu said calmly: "How much silver the Marquis pays, and I will send that much ice to your yard tomorrow."

After that, Liu Tianshu kindly reminded: "My Lord, the ice cellar in the mansion cannot be opened yet. You should either use up the ice you bought as soon as possible or find a place to store it yourself."

"what?"

Gu Jinyun couldn't believe her ears.

This woman not only wanted him to spend money to buy ice, but also wanted him to store the ice himself. If he had the ability to do so, why would he need to spend money to buy it? Wouldn't it have been better to store more last winter?

"Liu Tianshu, I am the head of this mansion. I only give orders but not the follow-up..."

Gu Jinyun finished speaking and was about to leave. However, the moment he turned around, Liu Tianshu said lightly, "A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without silver, I cannot make ice, and you can only keep it warm yourself."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu gently fanned herself with the fan in her hand.

"My Lord, I'm still warm over here, how about you be generous and use some ice on me as well?"

"Humph!"

Gu Jinyun snorted coldly, but did not turn around and leave.

He really couldn't stand the heat. If he hadn't been well-educated, he would have imitated Xiao Sanyuan and fanned himself with his sleeves.

She knew that someone would be unable to bear it and come to her to buy ice, but Liu Tianshu did not expect that the first person who lost his temper would be Gu Jinyun.

But no matter who it is, as long as they pay money, she will do the job. Without money, no matter who comes, it will be useless.

"How much is the ice in our ice cellar worth?" Gu Jinyun asked directly as he couldn't stand the heat.

"About 1,300 taels of silver."

After that, Liu Tianshu said calmly: "This is still based on the current price. If the number of ice cellars in other people's homes decreases, the price will increase."

"you……"

"I will have someone send you one thousand taels of silver later. You open the ice cellar for me now and put the ice you bought directly into the ice cellar."

"Row."

Liu Tianshu agreed readily.

"As long as the money arrives, I will have someone open the ice cellar immediately."

"Humph!"

Gu Jinyun was very angry because he was short of one thousand taels of silver in just one trip. He threw his sleeves and walked out the door.

Seeing Gu Jinyun angry, Liu Tianshu didn't care at all, and even reminded him in a good mood behind his back: "My Lord, Aunt Liu hasn't left the house for half a month. Do you want to go and see her?"

If Liu Tianshu hadn't mentioned it, Gu Jinyun would have almost forgotten that there was a concubine Liu in the mansion.

Thinking that he had a miscarriage because of me, it was really boring to stay in the room all these days, and I really should go see her.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinyun turned and headed for Liuyuan after leaving Wutongju.

Ever since Liu Tianyi had a miscarriage, Gu Jinyun had never stepped into this place. When Bihe, who had come out of Biyu's room, saw him enter, her eyes lit up instantly and she quickly walked over to greet him...
