Chapter 223 Do You Want This Good Luck?
After leaving the house, Hongye couldn't help but whisper to Cuiming, "Tell me, what happened?"

When they reached the corridor, Cui Ming said, "I'm afraid the young lady and the marquis are angry with each other."

Hongye muttered, "But we were eating outside, so we didn't hear any noise inside."

Cui Ming said with a smile: "Young lady dared to be angry with the Marquis, of course she was sure that the Marquis would not dare to turn hostile. Besides, you and I both know how the Marquis feels about you, so how could he be violent to you?"

Hongye sighed.

I thought Lord Gu could stay in Wutong Garden and consummate his marriage with the young lady.

Really...

Hongye said gloomily, "Then let's pack up the things later and let Sixteen take them there."

Cui Ming said, "Don't blame the Marquis for this. Even I didn't expect that a six-year-old child would have so many thoughts. They have been very well behaved recently, and even the young lady has sympathy for them. I didn't expect that they are just like their mother, holding back a lot of things."

Hongye asked in surprise, "Miss, do you suspect them?"

Cui Ming rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you so surprised? Didn't the young lady ask you to ask Xiao Hong? And when you came back you told me that they went through a dog hole."

Hongye said: "I...I am just surprised that these two children are so young and yet they are willing to do anything."

Cui Ming spat, "Sometimes you are so smart, and sometimes you are so stupid. Let me ask you, these two children knew how to crawl through the dog hole. Is it possible that Lady Zhao contacted these two children before she left?"

Hongye covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, if that's the case, these two kids are really scheming. I only heard that they are arrogant and domineering. They even beat the two young masters of the Sixth Master and made them cry. Who would have thought..."

Cui Ming said, "Maybe I just said it casually, but the young lady must think so."

Hongye put down her hand and nodded, "Young lady never makes mistakes, so what if she is wrong? These two children cannot be left in the mansion. Just from what happened today, we can see how bold they are. Today they are princesses, but what if the emperor comes tomorrow? The older they are, the harder it will be to control them."

"Yes, you can figure it out, but the Marquis can't. Miss, shouldn't you chase him out to the outer courtyard?"

Hongye said, "My Lord... Hey, he's just like us adults. He's completely confused when it comes to the affairs of the harem. Sometimes I really don't know if he's really confused or just pretending to be."

Cui Ming said, "When you are really confused, you are really confused. When you are pretending to be confused, you are pretending to be confused. When the real and the fake are mixed together, you naturally can't tell them apart. Miss has made up her mind, so she doesn't care whether the Marquis is really confused or pretending to be confused."

Hongye clapped her hands and said, "It would be better if these two left the house earlier, so as to save us from the trouble later."

……

When Lord Gu came out of Wutong Garden, he went to find Gu Shiliu to ask.

"How is the injured boy?"

Gu Shiliu said: "After Doctor Li used the medicine, he was taken away to be nursed."

"How badly is the injury?"

"He was covered in blood, and most of the injuries were flesh wounds, but his internal organs were also damaged. Doctor Li said he needs to be well cared for."

Lord Gu nodded and said, "Go and withdraw some money from the account, and take good care of him. Tell him not to blame Cheng Ge'er."

Gu Shiliu agreed.

Lord Gu asked again: "Do you know how the two of them escaped?"

Gu Shiliu said embarrassedly, "I heard from Hongye that they crawled out from the dog hole. Since Xiaohong and Hongye were talking, I didn't ask in detail. I just asked the maid to tell Rong Mama about it and asked Rong Mama to take good care of them."

Lord Gu nodded.

Gu Shiliu said, "Then I will go to see the servant."

"Ask him whose child he is?" Gu Shiliu came back after a while and said, "He is from the Qi family, and his name is Qi Yuntian."

Lord Gu frowned.

The Qi family followed the old marquis to the battlefield, and then followed him and his brothers, and all the underage men in the family died.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Lord Gu muttered to himself.

Gu Shiliu stood quietly aside.

After a long while, Lord Gu asked, "How much silver did you give him? Who else is in his family?"

Gu Shiliu looked at Lord Gu in surprise, and after a pause, he said, "I gave him twenty taels of silver. There is only a blind old lady at home, and they said that a neighbor auntie is helping to take care of her."

Gu Jinghui said, “Go and get another 100 taels of silver, and find someone to write an order to get some medicinal herbs that he can use to take care of himself, so that he can be well taken care of.”

Gu Shiliu's eyes turned slightly and asked, "Sir, don't you want to go and take a look?"

Gu Jinghui was stunned and said, “I feel ashamed of the Qi family.”

Gu Shiliu said with a smile: "For us, life and death, wealth and honor are all tied to the Marquis' Mansion. On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind, so who can tell the truth?"

Gu Jinghui hung his head and said nothing.

Gu Shiliu had no choice but to say, "Then... Lord Marquis, I will go now."

Gu Jinghui said, “Report to me when you are done. I should go and take a look.”

Gu Shiliu, with a smile on his face, went to Sun's accountant to withdraw money. When Cao Butler saw him, he asked, "Why are you here again, brother Shiliu?"

Gu Shiliu said, "When the Marquis asked about the child of the Qi family, he told me to take out another 100 taels of silver and send it to Qi Yuntian. He also said he wanted to get some tonic medicine to send to him."

Housekeeper Cao put down the small teapot in his hand and sighed, "This child was beaten and caught the eye of the Marquis. A few days ago, I said that this child's family had no adult man, and my mother was blind, so her life was hard. God has eyes, and it's also thanks to the Marquis that he has people like us in his heart."

Gu Shiliu nodded and said, "Of course, the Marquis loves his soldiers like his own sons and is very kind to us."

Steward Cao said to Accountant Sun, "Hurry up and write a list so that the sixteen brothers can get to work."

Gu Shiliu said, "I sent him some money before. There was no rush, but the Marquis just said he wanted to go visit Brother Qi. I was afraid of delaying him and making him wait for a long time."

Originally, Accountant Sun was hesitant to take the stand, but after hearing this, he quickly wrote a note and handed it to Gu Shiliu, smiling and saying, "Brother Qi is really lucky."

Gu Shiliu glanced at him and said coldly: "Do you want this good luck?"

Accountant Sun was stunned.

Gu Shiliu snatched the note from his hand, turned around and left.

Butler Cao glanced at him and said slowly, "You, don't talk too much. Brother Qi's child is the only one who died in his family, and his mother is blind."

Accountant Sun's face turned red and white.

Butler Cao ignored him and wandered off, sipping the teapot.

Gu Shiliu was quick on his feet. He collected all the things in a short while and went in a hurry to look for Lord Gu. However, he couldn't find anyone after looking around. So he had to turn back and wait in the outer courtyard.

Gu Liuye got up from his lunch break and came out to paint. Seeing him waiting in the corridor with a package, he asked, "Why are you still here? I don't know what happened to Third Brother. He got really angry in the study just now. I don't know who he went to cause trouble for."
