He had probably accidentally touched the wound, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. However, his complexion soon returned to normal, and if Gu Wu hadn't heard the sound of him clenching his teeth, he would have still thought that the attack just now was just an illusion.

Mian Niang carried the toilet in her hand and was about to pour it down.

It was in this kind of face-to-face situation that Gu Yan flashed an unfathomable smile at Mian Niang, but Mian Niang only felt that it was extremely dangerous.

Mian Niang guessed that when she set up the trap yesterday, it was probably because she had the same smile on her face.

Gu Wen walked forward and cupped his fist at the Elementary Scholar, "May I ask if this is the home of the Mehanlin's Duke."

This was the first time the Elementary Scholar had met such a rich person. The carriage, the robes, the jades, and the servants were all in his dreams. He stared blankly at the young lord who had just walked down from the carriage.

This person seemed to have everything he had dreamed of, including his healthy, rosy complexion.

His servant, honorably called himself "Master Mei," a title worthy of only the masters of the city.

He was just an Elementary Scholar, he was just an Elementary Scholar …

The Elementary Scholar regained his senses and quickly cupped his hands and bowed before saying, "I am Mehanlin, may I know who you are?"

It was probably due to him being too nervous. His etiquette was all wrong. His left hand was on the inside while his right was on the outside.

Fortunately, he quickly realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself.

"Sir Mei, I am a disciple of the Gu family, and yesterday I was injured in the forest by three hoes. Fortunately, your wife saved me, so I came here today to express my gratitude."

"It's the young master of the Gu family."

The tofu hyacinth whispered to the May-Second Aunt from inside the house.

"Which Gu family?"

May-Second Aunt still hadn't woken up yet.

"Which Gu family do you think it is? It's that Gu family after all."

tofu hyacinth rolled his eyes at her.

May-Second Aunt was suddenly enlightened. "It's that Gu family who became the marquis' marquis in the capital due to the merits of the dragon?"

"Other than his family, who else could it be?"

The Elementary Scholar had already understood who was coming. The Gu family, the most illustrious family in the radius of several hundred or even thousands of miles, the Marquis of Ju, the son of the Heavenly Emperor himself. When he was young, he had almost heard the story of the Gu Hou from the teacher in the academy.

He yearned for and envied such families, and there was even a hint of hidden jealousy, jealousy that they had made the right bet at the right time, and had made the whole family rich by virtue of their dragon deeds.

He had a nagging feeling that if it was him, he might be able to gain some merits that day and gain a bright future.

"Young Master Gu, come in quickly."

He went up to her and smiled for the first time since they were married.

He personally opened the courtyard door, and after taking a good look at Gu Xin's clothes at close range, he invited him in.

tofu hyacinth straightened her clothes, gritted her teeth, and got May-Second Aunt to help her off the ground. She walked out, but before she could even walk out the door, her laughter had already drifted outside the walls.

"The magpie is chirping on the tree this morning, I thought it had some good business, so it's an honorable guest. Young Master Gu, please come in."

When she walked out of the door, she saw Mian Niang standing at the entrance holding onto the toilet, her smile instantly froze, and she immediately pushed at the person, and said softly: "What are you daydreaming for, hurry up and pour that stupid pickled thing over."

He raised his head and put on a smiling face as he faced Gu Han.

"Young Master Gu, come in quickly."

Gu Yue saw her actions, and a trace of malice flashed in her eyes. However, she quickly turned around and left, quickly returning to her polite and refined mask.

"Aunt Mei Family, we've met before, do you still remember that we were born late?"

This call of "Aunt Mei Family" made tofu hyacinth beam with joy, and he hurriedly replied, "I remember, I remember, we were face to face, how could I not remember?"

Mian Niang was too lazy to care about them as she carried the toilet to the backyard.

Gu Xin had long anticipated what kind of attitude she would have. Therefore, he didn't think that it was a pestle, but when he saw her limping feet, he couldn't help but feel tender towards her in his heart.

However, he did not show it on his face. He only walked into the courtyard of the Mei Family with a calm expression and smiled at the attention paid to him by the mother and son.

Gu Wenguwu was secretly shocked by Mian Niang's attitude. The young master actually did not get angry and left, it could be seen, that the female mother was becoming more and more important in the young master's heart.

In fact, the two of them were already very surprised when Gu Xin went back alone in the rain yesterday afternoon without getting angry.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

At the moment, he didn't have time to care about what the Young Master was planning in his heart. Gu Xin had already ordered them to move the things out of the carriage.

The tea leaves, cloth, gold and silver jewelry, the pastries that he made last night by staying up all night in the kitchen, the bird's nest ginseng that Gu Wu bought from the town this morning, all of these were prepared by his master after careful consideration, and it was all for the sake of making a beautiful smile.

It was not known whether the beauty liked these gifts, but the beauty's husband and mother-in-law seemed to like them a lot.

The two of them had just been tormenting themselves last night. Although the smell had already dispersed, they still didn't dare to invite a noble person in as they were afraid of smearing the smell.

The Elementary Scholar quickly went into his mother's room and brought out the Eight Immortals Table. Then, he went to his own room and brought out the only chair in the house. He placed it beside Gu Xin and invited him to sit.

May-Second Aunt helped tofu hyacinth to sit on the stool opposite Gu Yue.

"This is …"

"This is Han Lin's second aunt, her family name is Jiang, Mei Jiang."

"May-Second Aunt."

Even though May-Second Aunt had a lot of suspicions about him before, at this moment, he had no choice but to respond with a smile: "Young Master Gu is too courteous, I'm just a village woman. How could I possibly accept such a compliment from you?"

"May-Second Aunt is the one who is truly courteous. Yesterday, that silly brother was your son, right? If it wasn't for him, my wife and I wouldn't have been able to smoothly go down the mountain."

His words were vague, purposely blurring the way Mian Niang was addressed. tofu hyacinth and May-Second Aunt did not realize in the slightest that they had only heard what they had wanted to hear.

It turns out Aunt Wang was right, the dumb * ss was indeed together with Mian Niang yesterday.

This was what the tofu hyacinth thought.

The silly guy, actually did not explain the matter of him meeting this person on the mountain yesterday. What exactly was he hiding, and why had Mian Niang gone to the mountain?

This was what the May-Second Aunt thought.

The Elementary Scholar looked at the ginseng in the brocade box and suddenly felt a surge of hope. With a ginseng, would he be able to recover? With a ginseng, would he be able to become a normal man?

"Young Master Gu is right, that silly kid is mine. He has a straightforward manner, he is a reckless person. If there is anything that offends Young Master Gu, please forgive us."

Hmph, to be straightforward and foolhardy, wasn't he just thinking too much?

"Where is May-Second Aunt talking about? If I didn't meet my wife and my stupid brother yesterday in such a heavy rain, I don't know how to get down the mountain. Perhaps I really would have been bitten to death by that wild boar."

Mian Niang turned around and walked out from the backyard. With just a glance, she had entered the kitchen to wash her hands, and then used a spatula to flip the meat in the wok, in case there were any meat inside the wok.

This cold and indifferent tone, alas, but what could it do? He wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he felt like he was enjoying the show.

Gu Yan's heart was both sweet and helpless. Thinking back to the scene of Mian Niang hanging the vine in the rain and the scene of him luring the wild boar into the trap, his heart felt sour, sweet, sweet, and painful.

"That wild boar is actually going to bite you?"

"Yeah." Gu Xin told them in detail how he had fallen into the trap, how he had injured his leg, how Mian Niang had saved him, and how the idiot had rushed over in time. He only told them in detail how he had concealed the ambiguous entanglement between Mian Niang and herself.

May-Second Aunt only barely understood the wild boar's situation. Only now did she realize that the idiot did not say that he was panicking, but only hid part of the situation.

tofu hyacinth felt that Mian Niang was really stupid, daring to provoke a wild boar.

The Elementary Scholar had a feeling that this was the case. Mian Niang looked like a person with a withered head, but in reality, she was abnormally intrepid.

"Mian Niang was also lucky to have accidentally saved you. Luckily, you were alright?"

tofu hyacinth asked with concern.

Not mentioning how Mian Niang was injured, she even said that it was her good luck to be able to meet a wild boar, which showed just how good of a life his Ah Mai was leading in this house. Gu steed was angry, but he knew: "It's nothing, I have to trouble Mei Family Auntie to be concerned about it."

He had never been interested in the affairs of the harem, but now, from the old woman and the pedantic scholar's words, he began to understand how this family had treated Ah Mi.

Gu Xin was also helpless against himself. He wanted to change his mind, but he became displeased when the tofu hyacinth called for Mian Niang to make tea.

"I'll go, Mian Niang's ankle is still injured, don't let her walk around all the time."

May-Second Aunt stopped tofu hyacinth and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Gu Han was about to speak when a sweet voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Mother, we have guests. Who are they?"

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a beautiful and seductive woman alighting from a simple and crude carriage outside the courtyard. It was none other than Wu Niang.
