Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You’re finally here. Come in quickly. Nanny Qian, pour tea for Miss Gu.”

Madam Yao pulled her hand affectionately and walked inside. The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. It was too incongruous to be so enthusiastic.

Nanny Qian poured a cup of tea for Gu Yundong. Madam Yao said, “There’s also white sugar in this tea that Miss Gu bought. It’s sweet and suitable for us women to drink. Miss Gu, try it?”

Then, she shook her head. “It’s too distant to call you Miss Gu. Can I call you Yundong? You can call me Sister Yao too. How about that?”

“Fine by me.” Gu Yundong took a sip of tea. She did not really drink it. Strange people in unfamiliar places were strangely enthusiastic. She would be a fool if she dared to eat her food.

The moment she raised her hand to drink the tea, she poured the tea into her space.

When she put down the teacup, she nodded slightly. “It’s quite delicious.”

Madam Yao smiled and said, “There are also pastries and preserved fruits here. Yundong, don’t stand on ceremony. As for me, the last time I saw you, I felt that you suited my taste. We’re both straightforward people, so we’ll definitely be able to talk together. It’s also my master’s fault. He knew you long ago and didn’t think of introducing you to me. He didn’t invite you over either. Last time at your house, he asked me to prepare a congratulatory gift. He didn’t tell me in detail, causing me to not be able to get to know you sooner.”

Gu Yundong thought that Peng Zhongfei did not have the guts to speak nonsense. He would probably have nightmares at night.

She was also polite. “Young Master Peng is busy. Besides, I’m just a village girl. You’re the madam of a big family. He was afraid that I’ll offend you, right?”

“No, he’s very free.” Madam Yao had a smile on her face. “And he’s full of praises for you. How could he be afraid that you would offend me?”

Praise? Peng Zhongfei must be crazy.

“Speaking of which, I still don’t know how you met my master, Yundong. I asked my master, and he only said that he hadn’t known you for long. Tell me, I’m quite curious. I’ve been married to my master for several years, but this is the first time I’ve seen him so protective of a little girl.”

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Very good. This was a very interesting question.

How did they meet? She thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there’s nothing special. It’s just that I got to know Young Master Liu first. One time, they were drinking tea together in the teahouse and I happened to bump into him. Young Master Liu introduced me to him and we got to know each other. Young Master Peng is protecting me. Perhaps… he thinks I’m pitiful?”

“Is that so?” Madam Yao lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea. She nodded. “Our master is indeed quite close to Young Master Liu, but it’s rare to drink tea in a teahouse.” Didn’t they always meet in a brothel?

Gu Yundong glanced at her slightly tightened fingers from the corner of her eye and sighed secretly. If you don’t believe me, don’t ask me.

She didn’t know what Peng Zhongfei said to her, but it seemed that no matter how she responded, it would make her unhappy.

Madam Yao said a few more words to her before saying, “Yundong, take a seat first. I’m going to change. I’ll be back in a while. When the time comes, we’ll go to the plum garden to see the plum blossoms.”

“Okay.” Gu Yundong watched her leave with a smile.

Madam Yao went out, and Nanny Qian followed behind.

As soon as the two of them left the Ruyi Garden, Madam Yao’s expression changed.

“She’s just a country girl. She’s quite pretentious. She even stammered when I asked her questions. It’s obvious that she has something on her mind.”

Madam Yao stood outside the courtyard and glared inside..
