The four of them had different thoughts and could only walk into the plum garden together.
Gu Yundong quite liked this place. The Peng family was indeed rich and imposing. They had actually opened up such a large plum garden.
In the future, when she had money, she would also get a plum garden or peach blossom forest. It would definitely be very comfortable.
Madam Yao was not in the mood to admire the flowers behind her. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Xian’er, who was far behind. She could not help but feel angry. What a useless thing.
As she was thinking, she suddenly saw her maid, Zhen Zhu, rush over from behind. She did not look too good.
Madam Yao stopped in her tracks. Zhen Zhu whispered into her ear, “Young Madam, Young Master heard that Miss Gu was here and insisted on coming over. We couldn’t stop him.”
Madam Yao’s expression suddenly turned ugly. “Didn’t you say that he left early in the morning?”
“He just came back.” Zhen Zhu lowered her voice. “When Miss Gu came over, she happened to be seen by a servant in Young Master’s courtyard. Young Master immediately knew when he returned. He didn’t even return to the courtyard and came straight here.”
Madam Yao glanced at Gu Yundong with a dark expression. Master indeed treated her differently.
She secretly took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said to Gu Yundong, “Sister Yundong, Master is here. I’ll go and say a few words. I’ll be back soon.” Peng Zhongfei is here? Before Gu Yundong could reply, Madam Yao had already left in a hurry.
After a while, the sound of voices could be heard. It was not far away, and one could vaguely hear Peng Zhongfei’s raised pitch.
Why did it sound like they were about to quarrel? Gu Yundong thought about it and did not go over. She waited quietly for a moment.
On the other side, Madam Yao almost quarreled with Peng Zhongfei. As soon as she left the plum garden, she saw her master standing in the pavilion and looking over. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and squeezed out a smile to welcome him.
When Peng Zhongfei saw that she was alone, he frowned and asked, “Where’s the Gu girl? Didn’t they say she was here?”
Madam Yao closed her eyes slightly and reminded herself that her master had always been like this. She was already used to it.
“Master, don’t scare my esteemed guest. Look at how travel-worn you are. You should go back and tidy up first. Sister Yundong will be having lunch here. If you have anything to say, say it later.”
Peng Zhongfei did not want to wait. He happened to have something urgent to talk to Gu Yundong at the moment and did not have the patience to return to his courtyard. Besides, wasn’t he quite neat and clean?
Hence, he waved his hand and said to Madam Yao, “Since the Gu family’s girl is having lunch at home, go tell the kitchen to make some delicious food. Draft the menu yourself. I have something to discuss with the Gu family’s girl.”
Madam Yao could not hold the smile on her face at all. Just as she was about to retort, Nanny Qian suddenly tugged at her. “Young Madam, Young Master must have something to discuss with Shopkeeper Gu. Let’s get the kitchen to make a few dishes from Shopkeeper Gu’s hometown for the guest to try.”
“That’s right. Go ahead.” Peng Zhongfei waved his hand.
Madam Yao received Nanny Qian’s signal and could only leave the plum garden with her hand in hers.
As soon as she went out, she said unhappily, “Why did you ask me to come out? They’re left alone…”
“Young Madam, isn’t this just nice? Let’s keep Gu Xian’er here too. We’ll find an excuse to lure Young Master out later so that Gu Xian’er can make a move. In that case, if anything happens to Gu Yundong, Young Master can’t blame you.”
Madam Yao thought about it and agreed.. If something happened to Gu Yundong right under Master’s nose, would Master blame her for not entertaining the guest well?
