Gu Jinyun felt that this woman was his life partner.

Three days later, Qi Surong gradually recovered and resumed taking over the affairs of Xiuzhuang.

At the same time, her prophecy to Qiantong was also fulfilled in the uncertain waiting.

A tragic case of a favored concubine killing his wife alarmed the government office, and the victim was Chen Hua's wife, Chen Wu. The case is not complicated. The reason is that Chen Wu's design killed the child in Chen Hua's concubine's belly. The concubine became angry and cut Chen Wu's throat with scissors, killing him on the spot.

At first, Chen Hua wanted to suppress the matter, so as not to spread the scandal, but Chen Wu's personal girl immediately told Wu's father about it.

After the concubine was arrested, she described her madness and confessed.

When the case was finalized, Father Wu was still not relieved. He rushed into Chen's house, broke Chen Hua's legs, and asked his servants to beat all Chen Hua's concubines.

Chen's father was the left-middle commander of the mansion, two steps higher than Chen Hua, and he was so beaten that he didn't dare to say a word.

This matter caused quite a stir in the capital, and soon after, even the emperor heard about it, and directly criticized "the family is not strict" and lowered him one level.

Chen Hua's face has been lost, and the official luck may end here.

After Qiantong heard it, she felt very lucky and no longer dared to doubt Qi Surong's words.

She asked, "Now that it's no longer a problem to be old, do you want me to get close to this person?"

"Of course." Qi Surong nodded and said, "This is the time when Chen Hua is in a state of desperation. If you take the opportunity to get close to him, you will surely win his favor and trust. You don't need to deliberately make clichés, so as not to attract suspicion. Just serve him well and do your best. It might be enough to satisfy him."

Qi Surong didn't fully trust Qiantong, and rashly asking her to obtain information might backfire. It's better to keep this piece first and act accordingly.

"I understand." Qiantong nodded obediently.

"In a few days, you will use the excuse to go out and go to the Chen residence to see him." After speaking, Qi Surong handed her a bag of silver, "You take these first and buy some things for yourself."

"Thank you, Miss." Qiantong's eyes lit up, and she put away the silver taels. Although it is not as generous as when he was in Qi Mansion, it at least means that Qi Surong really has the intention to win over.

"Miss, can the concubine ask one more thing?" Qiantong asked cautiously.

"What do you want to ask?"

"When will our Qi residence repeat Roewe?"

Qi Surong glanced at her lightly, she lowered her head, and said hurriedly: "It's a cheap concubine who asks a lot, how can the secret be leaked at will? Miss, please don't blame me."

After sending Qiantong away, Qi Surong sighed slightly.

When will Qi Mansion repeat Roewe? She also wanted to know.

The next day, the Qi family received an invitation from Xu Chen, inviting Qi's father and Subao to go to Yingshu Pavilion for a chat.

Yingshu Pavilion is Xu Chen's current residence. Qi Surong didn't expect that he would take the initiative to invite him.

Qi's father was a little confused when he received the invitation, but he was not relieved until he heard that Su Bao met Xu Chen at the temple.

He asked, "Su Bao, do you really want to go to this Mr. Xu's door?"

Su Bao nodded seriously: "Yes."

"That's good. I'll take you to Yingshu Pavilion to meet him tomorrow as my father." Although Father Qi didn't like dancing and writing, he was still respected by the literati, and he didn't have the concept of disparity between civil and military. It's just that he is born aloof and looks difficult to get close to.

On the second day, Qi's father ended his disciple's training ahead of schedule and took Su Bao to Yingshu Pavilion.

Qi Surong was busy with Xiuzhuang's affairs while waiting patiently at home. It was expected that they would come by dinner time, but who would have disappeared after You Shi.

She couldn't help but be a little worried, and immediately asked the steward to go out to find out the news.

At this moment, Gu Yufeng seemed to pass by unintentionally, standing at the gate of the courtyard and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, miss, the master and the young master were left by Mr. Xu to eat at Yingshu Pavilion."

Qi Surong was stunned for a moment, and felt relieved. She still believed Gu Yufeng's words.

So she didn't ask any more questions, and said hello, "Erlang, will you stay for dinner tonight?"

"This... is not good?" Gu Yufeng hesitated.

"There's nothing wrong with you, you are my father's disciple, and you pay so much attention to a meal."

"If that's the case, then it's annoying." Gu Yufeng saluted.

Qi Surong smiled and let him into the room and told Ping'er to prepare dinner.

After Gu Yufeng waited for Qi's mother to take the seat, he slowly sat down.

After sitting down, he suddenly remembered that Qi Surong seemed to call him "Erlang" just now? Does she know who she is? Can't it? He came here to study art, even his father didn't know, how did Qi Surong know?

Big brother told her? Are they already familiar with this?

After a while, Qi Surong peacefully brought the dishes, arranged them one by one, and arranged the dishes. The movements are neat, and there is no twisting at all.

Gu Yufeng couldn't help but have a good impression of this prospective sister-in-law. He has been studying art here for many days, but this is the first time he has come into close contact with Qi Surong. From a distance, only felt that she was indeed as cold and arrogant as the rumors said, but when got closer, found that her temperament was like a blue orchid, and her elegance was somewhat wise and steady.

"Dongya, you don't have to be cautious when you eat vegetables." Mother Qi liked this cheerful young man very much. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was modest and polite, unlike ordinary children from ordinary families.

(Dongya is Gu Yufeng's word, he always used Dongya to call himself in Qi's family.)

"Thank you, Mistress." Gu Yufeng's eyes fell on the dining table. The simple five dishes and one soup, three meat and two vegetarian dishes, were just some home-cooked dishes, but they were cooked very delicately and looked very appetizing.

Ok? He found that the three dishes in front of him were his usual favorites, while the other two dishes that he did not like were placed farther away.

Is it a coincidence?

Gu Yufeng felt that he might be over-hearted. How could the Qi family know his preferences?

At this time, Qi Surong put another plate of spicy beans in front of Gu Yufeng.

Mother Qi said strangely, "Rong'er, why did you bring this kind of thing out to entertain guests?"
