Lianzhi and Ming'er stood outside Jingsi Zhai. They saw Li Jian'an walking back and forth in the house several times, looking quite restless and worried.

Ming'er bumped the lotus branch with her elbow and whispered: "Sister Lianzhi, what do you mean? Every time I go back to Meixiangyuan, I always look happy, but today... Is there something big..."

Before Ming'er could finish speaking, Lianzhi glared and lectured: "There is no place for us to talk about Master's matters. Just wait and see."

Ming'er just stood there solemnly, motionless, let alone speaking.

Lian Zhi's heart was full of complicated thoughts.

I have been serving the Duke of Guo since I was five years old. At that time, the Duke of Guo was not yet the crown prince, but just the third young master.

The second young master above was so brilliant that everyone praised him. Who would have thought that something like that would happen later. When the second young master was about to be crowned the heir apparent, he actually contracted an illness and died within half a month.

Later, the title fell to the third young master, who is now the Duke of the country.

The Duke succeeded to the throne at a young age. In order to prevent others from saying that his relatives were useless, he went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen or fifteen and made great achievements in battle.

Because of this, his strong and tenacious temperament is always somewhat domineering.

It was precisely because of this that I had a bad relationship with the first lady.

Speaking of which, if the Duke of Guo hadn't become coldhearted towards the Duke's wife, Xue Ruyue would still be just a maid, how could she have been singled out by the Madam who was eager to have a grandchild, and given to the Duke of Guo as his wife?

She also gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine and raised her as an aunt.

Xue Ruyue, who affectionately called her Sister Lianzhi back then, has now become half the master of the Duke's Mansion. It's a pity that a slave is still a slave. Even if she gives birth to a son, she is still in an embarrassing situation. Once she has a legitimate son, what will happen?

Not anymore.

What's even more pity is that after all these years, Mrs. Tai still thought that Aunt Xue, whom she had trained with her own hands, was loyal and honest.

Loyal and honest, loyal and honest, if this honest man hadn't treated me back then...it would be me who would be my aunt today!

But I can't think about it now...

The years have passed, and the Duke's attitude toward the current Duke's wife is even different from the past. When would the Duke be so uneasy and tossing and turning over a woman?

I will still be a maid and slave honestly, and when the opportunity is right, I will go to my wife to ask for a favor. Even though my years are gone, with my status as the maid of the Duke's Mansion, I can still choose a merchant or a good company when I go out.

A country gentleman's family.

Even if you are a stepmother, as long as you have no legitimate children, you can still enjoy the happiness of being a grandma.

I just don’t know when this opportunity will come.

Lian Zhi sighed quietly in her heart, and happened to watch Chun Ge Tingting, who was wearing a pink pear blossom pattern and brocade gown, walking over there. She was also holding a purple sand plate with gold flowers and birds in her hand. The pastries on it were yellow and clear, which looked very special.

Pleasant. There was actually no maid behind him. I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.

The man had already come forward to greet him, Fu Fushen said: "Madam."

Chunge nodded and looked at the old man who had served Li Jianan for many years. Chunge always had a gentle attitude and asked with a smile: "Is the Duke of the country in there? Did you invite that gentleman to discuss matters?"

Although he guessed what Li Jianan was thinking, it was just a guess after all. If Li Jianan was really in trouble, it would not be the right time for him to come here.

Lianzhi shook her head, "The Duke is the only one in there." She looked at the cakes on the singer's table and smiled, "Speaking of which, only Madam is the most considerate of the Duke. She knew that the Duke had not eaten yet, so she came in person.

I’m giving the Duke’s favorite cake as a gift.”

Chun Ge frowned slightly and looked at Lian Zhi, who was smiling in front of her. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uncomfortable and like she was being plotted. Her face became a bit cold, "I know." He said.

He ignored the lotus branches and walked past her, carrying pastries into the Jingsi Studio.

Lian Zhi was startled at first, then looked at Chun Ge's back and smiled bitterly, and silently warned herself in her heart that she was too hasty this time, and people could see the clues, and she must not do this next time.

When Chunge went in, she saw Li Jianan holding a scroll in his hand. In March and April, he was sweating and walking back and forth, looking very hot.

Chun Ge pursed her lips, put the cakes on the table, and complained: "Master Guo, can't you see people when you are reading a book?"

Li Jian'an has fought on the battlefield several times. His martial arts skills are extremely high, and his alertness is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

With something on his mind, and with his back turned, he didn't even notice that Chun Ge had come all the way in. When he heard Chun Ge's voice, he turned around sharply. Just as he was looking at Chun Ge looking over with a smile like the spring breeze, a slight feeling arose in his heart.

Strange.

Chun Ge noticed that he had a strange look on his face, but didn't point it out. She pursed her lips and said, "You don't like me coming to disturb you. I asked about it first, but you just read a book and didn't do anything serious." She looked like I didn't.

Wrong, you can't lecture me, nor can you lose your temper and act arrogantly.

Like a little child.

Like a spoiled child.

A spoiled child can only behave like this in front of people he is close to and trusts.

Li Jianan's resentment accumulated in Mei Xiangyuan could not help but dissipate a lot, and he said with a smile: "This is my study, and no one is allowed to come in. As soon as you came in, I didn't say anything to you, but you complained first.

.”

During these days, Chunge had already noticed Li Jianan's unusual indulgence towards her. When she heard Li Jianan talking like this, she wasn't worried. Instead, she picked up the pastries very unhappily and muttered: "Why don't I go to the kitchen to prepare some for you?"

Someone else made pastries, but they were scolded by others, and no one was allowed to eat them."

As he said that, he walked outside with the plate in hand.

Li Jian'an felt happy when he heard that Chunge was cooking and making pastries by herself. Later, when he saw Chunge actually carrying the pastries and leaving, he became dumbfounded again. He had to go up to hold Chunge, pinched her chin, and said with a straight face.

: "You are getting more and more powerful. You dare to be so willful in front of me. I don't know who manipulated you!"

At this time, Chun Ge was already 70 or 80% sure of what he was thinking, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Are you happy that your position in the Li family will be as stable as Mount Tai from now on, and your hope of having a stable life is about to be achieved, or are you sad that the gap between the two people is too great, and harmony between them will not be possible after all.

But when he heard Li Jian'an making fun of him, he could only ignore the unexplainable feeling in his heart. He shook his head and said, "I don't know who did it. Anyway, it's not me."

Sweet as honey.

Intoxicating like fine wine.

Such a lovely little girl.

Li Jian'an looked at the smart Chun Ge in his arms, his heart was shaken, he leaned over and kissed the pink lips.

Chunge was a little intoxicated by Li Jianan's hot breath, but she still retained her last bit of sobriety and refused: "My lord, it's not dark yet."
