After arranging things for Nanny Tian and Nanny Qian, Liu Tian'ai let them do their own things, and she led Biyu and Bihe towards Fuguangyuan.

In the Fuguang Courtyard, Gu Jinyun was hugging Haitang while holding Qiangwei, and Taoer was beside them, gently fanning the three of them.

Ever since ice was used in Fuguangyuan, the whole room has been extremely cool and there is no need for anyone to turn on a fan.

Tao'er really couldn't find anything to do, so she arranged a job of fanning herself so that her presence in the room wouldn't seem too out of place.

"Madame Liu, you are out of confinement now. It is such a cause for celebration..."

Xiao Sanyuan's voice came from outside the door, and Tao'er almost dropped the palm-leaf fan in her hand to the ground.

Then she thought that as Gu Jinyun's maid, she was just fanning her master, which was not out of line, and she quickly calmed down.

Compared to Taoer's anxiety, Haitang and Qiangwei were much calmer.

Even though he heard the sound outside the door, he still sat in Gu Jinyun's arms without moving. They even kissed Gu Jinyun on the cheek at the same time when the door opened.

This scene happened to fall into Liu Tian'ai's eyes, and her eyes were filled with anger.

At this moment, Liu Tian'ai once again realized the man's indifference, but it was too late to regret now.

After taking several deep breaths, Liu Tian'ai finally calmed herself down and even tried to force a smile.

The moment Liu Tian'ai walked in, Gu Jinyun felt guilty for a moment, but when he thought that she was just his concubine and had no control over who he was with, he quickly calmed down.

"Is Aunt Liu's health fully recovered?"

"Thanks to the Marquis, I have been well taken care of this month."

Liu Tian'ai deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "very good".

Gu Jinyun seemed not to notice her strangeness and smiled, "Ai'er, although you have already finished your confinement, you still need to take good care of yourself. If you have anything to say, just let someone pass on the message. Why bother to go there yourself in such a hot day?"

"My Lord, I came here this time to discuss with you whether the small kitchen in Liuyuan can be kept..."

"This is against the rules of the Marquisate..."

Before Gu Jinyun said this, Liu Tian'ai was still thinking that removing her small kitchen was Liu Tianshu's private decision.

Hearing him say that, my heart sank completely.

"My Lord, all expenses for Liuyuan will be paid by me myself. Is it okay not to use the public account?"

"This……"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Jinyun's face.

Although he was not the head of the household, he knew that except for his Fuguang Courtyard, the old lady's Canglan Courtyard and Wutongju, the courtyards of other concubines and his brothers and sisters did not have small kitchens.

Aunt Liu is her aunt, and now she is the lowest-ranking mistress in the mansion. If she is allowed to keep the small kitchen, she is afraid that her younger brothers and sisters in the mansion will have objections.

Seeing Gu Jinyun hesitate, a hint of sadness flashed in Liu Tian'er's eyes.

"My Lord, I am used to the meals cooked by the kitchen cook. Besides, the mansion can save money from the expenses of Liuyuan in the future, which can be regarded as saving money for the mansion in disguise."

Gu Jinyun is not a person who is short of money. In all his years, he has never worried about money, and he really doesn't care about the food expenses in Liuyuan.

He gently patted the Begonia and Rose on his body, letting them leave his body first.

"Master Hou..."

"Get up first..."

Haitang and Qiangwei still wanted to act coquettishly, but when they saw Gu Jinyun's face darken, they dared not to act rashly anymore and stood up obediently and stood behind Taoer.

The moment they came face to face with Liu Tian'ai, they discovered that although they were as beautiful as Liu Tian'ai, they could not compare with the carefully dressed Liu Tian'ai, and they no longer dared to be arrogant because of their favor.

Seeing Haitang and Qiangwei leave Gu Jinyun's arms, Liu Tian'ai felt a little better.

He walked over and squatted in front of Gu Jinyun, his eyes full of pleading.

"My Lord, you are the only one I can rely on in this mansion. I hope you can help me..."

How could Gu Jinyun refuse the beautiful woman’s request?

"As long as you can convince the lady to let you keep the kitchenette, you can keep your kitchenette."

"Really?"

Liu Tian'er's eyes lit up instantly.

Liu Tianshu was often bullied by her when she was a child. In her opinion, it is much easier to persuade Liu Tianshu than to persuade Gu Jinyun.

After getting Gu Jinyun's consent, Liu Tianyi took his hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Hou. I know you are the best to me. I will go and talk to my sister in person."

"Ok!"

Gu Jinyun nodded quickly.

After getting the answer she wanted, Liu Tian'ai said some flattering words to Gu Jinyun, and then led Biyu and Bihe away.

As Liu Tian'ai and the other two left, Gu Jinyun let out a sigh of relief.

Although Liu Tian'er no longer had that sour smell on her body, he could still smell that smell in his mind. Apparently, that smell had left a deep impression on him.

"My Lord, shall I feed you some grapes?"

Even though Liu Tian'ai had left, Gu Jinyun's face was still ugly. Tao'er was fanning him silently, and Haitang held a peeled grape in her hand and put it to Gu Jinyun's mouth.

"Need not."

Pushing Haitang's hand away and letting the grapes fall to the ground, Gu Jinyun left the room with a grim look on his face.

Not knowing why Gu Jinyun was angry, Tao'er and the other two didn't dare to chase after her. They sighed at the same time in the room.

"Hasn't this Aunt Liu been recuperating in her room after giving birth? Why did she suddenly come to Fuguangyuan?"

Rose looked at her two companions with displeasure.

"Today marks exactly one month since we arrived at your house. It is also the one-month anniversary of Aunt Liu's miscarriage." Haitang reminded.

"Now that she's done with her confinement, why don't she just stay in her room? Why did she come here and get in the way?"

As she spoke, Qiangwei imitated Liu Tianyi and called out "My Lord..."

The rippling tone of the voice made Haitang and Taoer laugh.

"Tao'er, was Aunt Liu like this in the mansion before?"

"I am not sure."

Tao Er shook her head and said, "Previously, Aunt Liu had always lived in Madam's Wutong Residence, and when she was with the Marquis, she would always meet secretly in the garden, and I have never seen her.

Later, Madam Liu entered the mansion, and the Marquis stayed with him in the Willow Garden all day. This is the first time I have seen Madam Liu like this."

Hearing Tao'er mention Liu Tian'er's disgraceful past, Qiangwei mocked, "She had an affair with a man before marriage. That concubine Liu is not a good person either."

"Well, from now on, we'll all live in the same yard. You'd better control your temper, otherwise you'll be the only one who suffers..."

Before Haitang could finish her words of persuasion, Qiangwei sneered and said, "Although we were born as slaves, we also came from the palace. No matter how powerful Liu Tian'er is, what can she do to me?"

"She really can't do anything to us, and there's no need for us to make an enemy as soon as we meet. What if she's on the same page with us?"

Haitang finished speaking and blinked at Qiangwei...
