Chapter 2 The Careless Maid in the Gu Mansion
Gu Hua leaned against the carriage window with his chin in his hand, lowered his eyes and touched the flat belly of this body. He couldn't believe that there was already a tadpole here. He got pregnant at the first try. He didn't know whether the man was too powerful, or the original owner was most likely a fertile person.

Gu Hua retracted her gaze and looked towards the sky which was gradually turning white. There was a thin mist lingering around and in the dimness she could see green mountains and clear waters in the distance. She had not seen such scenery for many years since she was in the end of the world.

At this moment, Gu Hua dared to believe that he had really traveled from the devastated apocalypse to another world.

Facing the morning sunshine, Gu Hua took a carriage back to the Gu family mansion on Jiangzhou Chengdong Street. In front of him was a tall and thick vermilion door with exquisite patterns carved on it, showing the wealth of the owner's family.

After knocking on the door, Gu Hua entered the house. In front of him was a spacious courtyard, surrounded by precious flowers, plants and trees, and a pond of lotus exuding fragrance.

When the servants who had gotten up early to work saw Gu Hua coming back, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed, "How is the master?"

"Ah."

Gu Hua imitated the original owner and nodded softly.

Back at the main courtyard where the original owner lived, the maids Chunlan and Qiuju saw Gu Hua and hurried forward to serve him, "Master, where have you been? You didn't even let us serve you~"

As Qiuju approached, a smell of inferior perfumed powder wafted out. Gu Hua raised his hand to stop her from getting close and said lightly: "Go get me a bucket of hot water. I want to take a bath."

"Why do you want to take a bath so early in the morning..."

Qiu Ju met Gu Hua's dark eyes and finally shut her mouth tactfully.

Gu Hua said coldly: "Since when has the head of our family told a servant like you what to do?"

"I dare not." Qiuju's face turned pale instantly, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she looked pitiful.

Chunlan saw Gu Hua frowning slightly, and quickly whispered: "You are the one who talks too much. It is not your turn to interfere in the master's affairs. Go get some hot water for the master to bathe."

How could Gu Hua not see that Chunlan was trying to help Qiuju out?

However, Gu Hua saw Qiuju curled her lips, and he was afraid that Chunlan's good intentions were destined to be let down by Qiuju, who was proud and unwilling to be a servant.

Qiu Ju pouted her lips which were smeared with bright red lipstick, gave a perfunctory salute to Gu Hua, stomped her feet unwillingly, and turned away.

In the room, Gu Hua noticed that when Chunlan took off her cloak, he saw a few ambiguous marks on her neck. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he regained his composure. He took off her cloak as usual and hung it on the rack beside her.

Gu Hua curled the corners of his mouth and nodded secretly. She was a calm girl and could be kept.

"Let Qiuju stay outside to supervise the little girls from now on." Gu Hua said calmly: "It will be enough for you, Xia He and Dongmei to serve in the room."

"Master!" Chunlan was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered, "Yes, I will inform her."

Chunlan was somewhat surprised that Gu Hua was somewhat indulgent towards the seemingly lively Qiuju.

Why does it seem like it's quite impressive to let her manage a group of little girls today, but in fact, what position in the Gu Mansion can compare to serving the master?

The work was easy and the monthly interest was high, so even the housekeeper did not dare to order these maids who were close to the master around him around at will.

"Hurry up, the master is waiting." Qiu Ju arrogantly directed the two maids to carry hot water into the room, holding a bath towel in her hand, ready to bathe and rub Gu Hua's back.

"You all go down," Gu Hua waved his hand, "You are not needed here, I can do it myself."

"Master, let me help you..."

Chunlan received Gu Hua's look and quickly reached out to pull Qiuju out. She also told her what Gu Hua had just ordered, hoping that she would behave herself in the future. Qiuju stared at Chunlan in disbelief and shouted angrily, "You are talking nonsense. I didn't do anything wrong. Why would the master punish me to work outside? You must be jealous that I am more favored by the master than you, so you said that on purpose."

Chunlan suppressed her anger at being wrongly accused and sighed softly.

Qiu Ju's words and actions have long exceeded the duties of a servant, and this is not to say that she has done nothing wrong. If she had met a cruel master, a servant like her would have been beaten to death or sold off.

Considering that they had worked together for so many years, Chunlan still tried to persuade him: "The master usually doesn't let us serve him closely, so what's the difference between working outside and inside the house?"

Even Gu Hua, who had just traveled through time, could see that Qiu Ju was unwilling to be a slave. How could Chun Lan, who had worked with her for many years, not see it?

Gu Hua faintly heard the quarrel between the two little girls outside the house, shook his head, and ignored it for the time being. He took off his coat, untied his chest wrap, stepped into the bathtub, and sighed comfortably as his body was soaked in the warm water.

When he looked down and saw the blue and purple marks on his chest, he couldn’t help but curse, “Beast.

Gu Hua took a comfortable bath for a while, then lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He felt a force flowing in his body, and soon a thin layer of ice covered his palms.

She opened her eyes and placed her hand on the quilt. In the blink of an eye, the quilt disappeared on the bed. Gu Hua's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that the ice ability and space followed her soul to this world."

Gu Hua was very happy. She felt that having these two special powers made her feel more confident and at ease in this strange world.

It’s a pity that the supplies she collected in her previous life in her space were lost when her soul traveled through time and space.

Maybe he was really tired. After Gu Hua made sure that his superpowers had followed him, he yawned and closed his eyes. He had a good sleep and felt much more comfortable after waking up.

Next, Gu Hua spent several days integrating with this body, and occasionally went to inspect the shops in Jiangzhou City with Mu Feng, Mu Yu, Mu Lei, and Mu Xue, the close bodyguards trained by the Gu family for the original owner since childhood.

It was more than ten days later that I went to the remote village in the suburbs to see the man again.

When Gu Hua walked into the quiet courtyard on the east side of the manor, he saw that the man had a plain brocade ribbon tied around his eyes and his black hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin.

He was wearing a moon-white gown, with sword-like eyebrows, a face as handsome as jade, and an extremely beautiful appearance. He exuded a calm, restrained and noble temperament, and leaned lazily on a chair to bask in the sun.

Gu Hua stared at the man in front of him and once again sighed that this man really had a good-looking appearance.

Perhaps it was because Gu Hua's eyes were too strong in appreciating beauty, the man turned his head away, "You're here."

"You can't see," Gu Hua asked with a smile, "how do you know it's me?"

Long before Gu Hua walked into this not-so-big manor.

Xiao Junlin moved his ears and heard someone walking towards him. It was not until Gu Hua walked into the yard and a gust of wind blew past and he smelled the familiar fragrance on her clothes that he was sure that the person coming was her.

"Guess."

"You're really good at guessing." Gu Hua teased.

Then a cunning look flashed in Gu Hua's eyes and he slowly approached the man.

Noticing the momentary panic that flashed across the man's face, Gu Hua laughed triumphantly.
