The partition door was slowly pushed open a crack, and two black heads popped out one above and one below.

It’s Bai Zhi and He You.

Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at Mr. He's beautiful face with red lips and white teeth, then stepped back and stood aside.

With his arms folded across his chest, his eyes were full of disgust, as if saying: Why are you pulling me?

If you have something to say, you can just go in and report it. Is there any need to be so sneaky?

Seeing this, He You retracted his head and gestured to the side uncomfortably.

Walking to the other side of the study, he asked in a low voice with red ears: "Miss Baizhi, do you also serve the Madam like this in Yuanyuan Hall?"

At this time, the sunlight shines into the study through the carved window lattices, illuminating the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk.

Bai Zhi put the things in her hand on the long table, looked at He You and said, "The Fifth Master likes to be alone with his wife, and doesn't like to have too many servants around to serve him in the house."

Bai Zhi had a forthright personality and spoke without being shy. She glanced up and down at He You and took a step towards him.

With a scrutinizing look in her eyes, she asked him in a low voice, "Mr. He, have you done anything wrong? Just speak, why do you blush so often?"

When she came over, He You did not move his feet, his upper body leaned back slightly, and his whole body looked like it was cooked.

He, who is always eloquent, could only utter two words: "No."

Bai Zhi nodded, "A drunkard never admits that he can't drink much."

After saying that, Bai Zhi picked up the things on the table, shook her head, turned around and walked out.

He muttered quietly, "This face is wasted..."

He You stretched his collar, thinking that this was an opportunity given to him by God, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he should not let it slip away.

He followed Bai Zhi with big strides, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Bai Zhi, to be honest, I want to ask Madam for a favor and marry Miss Bai as my wife."

Bai Zhi stopped and asked with an unclear look on her face, "Excuse me, Mr. He, is this the master's opinion that asked you to inform me? Or is Mr. He asking about my attitude?"

He You said, "Based on my understanding of Madam, she will definitely ask Miss Bai for her opinion. But I think that if I ask Miss Bai first, it will better reflect my respect for you."

Bai Zhi nodded. She also felt that her master would not decide her marriage without her permission.

She smiled and bowed to He Youxuan, "Then Mr. He should go to the master to propose marriage!"

He You was stunned after hearing this.

He just thought for a moment that Miss Baizhi was going to reject him!

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "Mr. He, I am not well-educated, so I say whatever I think. Are you making fun of me?"

He You hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook his head.

I think that seeing his foolish look, Master Wu would probably despise him.

I couldn't help but feel like I was steamed, "I will go to Master Wu and his wife to ask for mercy later, Miss Bai, please don't misunderstand me."

"Just call me Baizhi." Baizhi nodded. Besides looking a little weak, He You also gave her the impression of being a bit silly.

"He You, Baizhi, you can also call me by my name." He You turned sideways to block the gaze of the guards not far away.

The two names repeated themselves in his mouth, and as he watched Bai Zhi walking away, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Miss Bai Zhi what impression she had of him.

……

Gu Jinchu reached out and tied a slipknot on the laces of Master Jiang Wu's cloak.

When he saw the head maid come in, he felt that the smile on her face today was different from usual, but he didn't think much about it.

When Master Jiang Wu moved back to Yuanyuan Hall from Zhuli Pavilion, he didn't need to measure the place with his feet; he was carried there in a sedan chair.

The last time I rode in a sedan chair was on my wedding day.

At this time, the sunlight was shining on the sedan chair, and through the opened curtains, the narrow space was filled with the smell of sunshine.

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but wonder whether Fifth Master was asleep at that time, as so many things were prepared in such a short time.

The sedan chair came out of Zhuli Pavilion and stopped in front of the stone steps of the main room of Yuanyuan Hall.

"Fifth Master." Jiang Fei's voice came from outside.

Master Jiang Wu bent his back slightly, stepped out of the sedan chair onto the stone steps, turned around, and extended his hand towards Gu Jinchu.

It seemed to Gu Jinchu that she saw the big hand leading her out of the sedan chair on the day of her wedding.

But this time, it was their entire family who walked in together.

For some reason, Gu Jinchu noticed that the hand with five fingers clasped with hers was gradually loosening its strength.

It made her finger bones ache.

When she returned to the inner room and helped Master Jiang Wu to lean on the bed, Gu Jinchu looked nervous and asked him in a low voice: "Did it affect the wound?"

Master Jiang Wu shook his head and said softly, "I'm not that fragile. It's just that I haven't been back for a few days. I feel like I'm in a different world."

The maids and servants escorted their masters to the inner room and then left.

The inner room is quiet, with a faint fragrance in the air.

Gu Jinchu met his gaze as he lowered his eyes to look at her. He was sitting there with his back to the light, which made her feel as if there were tears in the Fifth Master's eyes.

She said softly, "After such a dangerous situation, Master Wu should be more careful in the future."

"Okay..." He reached out his hand, pulled her over, kissed her on the forehead, then hugged her and whispered in her ear:

"I cherish my life, and I want to be with Jin Chu for a long time."

And their children, watching them grow up and grow old with Jin Chu.

Gu Jinchu rested her head on one of his shoulders, listening to the steady beating of Wu Ye's heart, and asked softly in his arms: "Wu Ye, do you still remember those Japanese who pretended to be Bai Wei?"

She had never found an opportunity to tell him that the Second Prince was colluding with the Fuso people. She even suspected that it was the Fuso people who assassinated the Third Prince and caused the Fifth Master to be injured.

Unfortunately, ever since the Bai Wei incident, she has not found any trace of the Fuso people in Shengjing City.

Master Jiang Wu raised his hand and patted her on the back, "Don't worry, it will be done soon."

General Zheng returned from Sanjiang Fortress, bringing back evidence from Shengjing City of collusion with the Fuso people.

At this time, Qin Lang, who was also in the Zheng family in Gu'an, looked at the marriage certificate in his hand. His mouth was not only unable to close, but it was also grinning to his ears.
