I want to make progress

Chapter 88 Watch the show

Just as I was about to leave and give them the place, someone else came.

At first Shu Yunfu thought it was the smell of barbecue that attracted the greedy people again, but she didn't expect it was Gu Changting's two concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao.

Speaking of coming to the Duke of England's mansion, not many people have seen her. It's not because of anything else, but because her status is too low, and those serious masters don't take her seriously.

On the contrary, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao, both concubines, belonged to two different rooms, but because of the gap between Gu Changting and Gu Changheng, the two always felt that she was superior.

Whenever he saw her, he felt a sense of superiority. Whenever he saw her, he always had to give her a lecture, which made Shu Yunfu very depressed. He always felt that these two concubines were not very smart.

However, Shu Yunfu didn't care what Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao thought. Their target was not her, but Gu Changting!
It’s really not easy to be Gu Changting’s woman.

Although he was not lustful or heartless, he was very good to his wife and two concubines and never treated them badly materially.

But he really doesn't like women. His beautiful wife and charming concubine at home are just like decorations. He rarely stayed overnight in their rooms before. Since he came back from Xuancheng, he has never been to the rooms of the two concubines again. Even when he went to Liu's courtyard, he was just there to sleep.

Although Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao were unaware of this, they had already become anxious after being alone in their empty room for so long.

Let’s not talk about their feelings towards their husband Gu Changting. Just say that they want to live a stable life in the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion for the rest of their lives. If they want to have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives, they must have a child.

Now, let alone children, Gu Changting never sleeps with them and they can’t even see each other. Where do the children come from!
The two knew Gu Changting's personality and thought of many ways to get close to him, but they were all useless. Besides, he was really busy and couldn't make it even if they met by chance.

Today, Shu Yunfu was here admiring the moon and having a barbecue. A group of people were making such a lively scene that everyone in the mansion knew everything. The whereabouts of Gu Changting, the focal figure of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, were even more eye-catching.

Upon learning that he and Gu Changning were drinking and eating barbecue together at Shu Yunfu's place, the two concubines separated without showing any emotion on the surface. However, after they separated, they immediately got dressed up, making themselves look charming and fragrant, and ran straight to the small pavilion beside the lotus pond to meet him by chance.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the place, I saw Gu Changting and the other person at the same time.

The two of them cursed the foxy woman in their hearts at the same time, and then they talked about how good the sisters are. The main point was five words: they sound harmonious but not heartless!
"I knew it smelled so good. Aunt Shu must be cooking something delicious again. I wanted to join in the fun, but I didn't expect the Duke and the Third Master to be here too. What a coincidence."

"Yes, yes, I came here following the aroma, and thought I'd join in the fun. My mother's caravan just came back from Qiang country a few days ago, bringing back a batch of honeydew melons. I've loved sweet food since I was a child, so they gave me two baskets. I was planning to share them with everyone tomorrow, and today is just a coincidence, so it's a good opportunity for everyone to taste some together and sweeten their mouths!"

Looking at the juicy, precious and rare honeydew melon, and then at her own empty hands, Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth secretly. She was indeed born into a merchant family, cunning and despicable, and even brought this rare thing to curry favor!

"Wow! As expected of the Zhou family, their business is so big that they can even deliver rare fruits like those from the Qiang Kingdom to you." Her eyes moved, and Aunt Zhao picked up the honeydew melon on the table and said enviously.

"It's just some fruits. My Zhou family's caravan travels all over the country, so these are not rare things. My parents love me too."

Looking at Aunt Zhao in surprise, Aunt Zhou wondered in her heart, has this Zhao changed her personality today?
But this did not stop Aunt Zhou from being proud. She was not like her. Her family was just a poor family. If the emperor had not granted her marriage and awarded her some gold, silver and jewelry, she would probably have had less than two pieces of clothing and jewelry. In terms of her family, Aunt Zhou was proud and not guilty at all. She was full of confidence.

"That's right. The Zhou family is wealthy and has many rare items. I'm afraid even the Duke's Mansion can't compare to them. This honeydew melon is probably the first time the Duke has eaten it."

Faced with Aunt Zhou's proud look, Aunt Zhao made her panic in an instant with just a few words.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Aunt Zhou glared at Aunt Zhao angrily. She knew that this woman had bad intentions!
"My Lord, although my Zhou family has grown a large business over the years, it is all thanks to your protection. There is nothing that cannot be compared to you. As long as you say a word, my Zhou family will be loyal to you!"

"you……"

"That's enough! What are you arguing about? If you don't want to stay quiet, get down!"

These two concubines are more talkative than the other. They can get along well with each other on normal days when Gu Changting is not around, but they are love rivals after all. Naturally, they are confronting each other in order to come out on top.

Fortunately, Gu Changting was a man who could calm down. Once he spoke, the two of them dared not make a fuss anymore. It was also because Gu Changting had ignored them too much in recent days, which made them too impatient and they didn't know the seriousness of the situation at this moment.

These two people put on a show as soon as they arrived, so Shu Yunfu was not in a hurry to leave. Why leave so quickly? There was nothing else to do if she went back, so she could only take a shower and go to bed. It would be different if she stayed, the scene of these two women competing for one man would be so lively!
But just as this thought came to mind, Liu also came. Not only did she come, she also brought two little ones, Gu Xinyi and Gu Wenyu, with her.

"It seems we came at the right time. It's so lively here."

In front of Liu, two children came trotting over. When they came closer, the two little balls stopped and saluted to the elders present. They were chubby and round, very cute.

The big, round eyes, as moist as grapes, stared at the barbecue on the table, which made Shu Yunfu's heart melt. Without saying a word, she took two skewers of grilled tofu and gave them to the two children. As expected, the two little guys smiled sweetly, and even their exposed white teeth had to be well-behaved.

"These two children smelled the fragrance and kept clamoring to come over. It turned out that Aunt Shu was here again. No wonder."

"It's just some ordinary food. I put a little more thought into it. I hope the young master and young lady like it."

He glanced at Liu, then at Gu Changting who was gently rubbing oil on the two children, and then at the fragrant and shiny food on the grill.

Shu Yunfu raised her eyebrows secretly. These barbecues today really meant carrying three pots at a time.
