"Father and mother cherish each other. A daughter-in-law has never had anything to do with family matters. I'm afraid that's the limit. I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for my mother."

Xie Jingxi apologetically and tactfully expressed her intentions. She did not want to be the butler at the moment, but considering how Gu Yun was at a different place, based on his attitude, he would probably not be willing to let her meddle in the matters of Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis didn't seem to be surprised by Xie Jingxi's attitude, as if she had expected that he would say this, but the Lady Zeng didn't quite understand. This was a good opportunity to give face to the major wife, one that others couldn't ask for, how could anyone reject.

Second Young Madam Xie Jingqi suddenly spoke up: "Father, mother, our family's third sister is the most sensible, following the Old Madem since childhood, being lectured by her elder at an extremely good rate. I can't compare, and I'm not able to help mother with my current condition anyway, I'm very sorry about that, it's just that third sister's skin is too thin-skinned, I think it's not that good, but my heart is definitely happy."

Usually, Xie Jingqi didn't even need to look at Xie Jingqi properly, yet she was actually able to say good words for her. Xie Jingxi could not help but sneer in her heart, although she had said good words on the surface, but to say that she was kind, Xie Jingxi did not believe it. Right now, it was still hard to say what Xie Jingqi's intentions were, but right now, it was difficult for Xie Jingxi to say.

Her words clearly meant that she wanted to capture Xie Jingqi, and wanted to take him as her butler. On top of that, even if others didn't see, Lady Zeng would lower her face first, causing Gu Heng to glare fiercely at him before giving Gu Wan a meaningful glance. Gu Wan immediately understood.

"Second sister in law, how can I understand Jingwan like you? She looks smart and obedient, but in reality, she is even stupider than I am. She has never done anything to the housekeeper, so I'm afraid there is something wrong with her." Second sister, how can I understand Jingwan like I do, she looks smart and obedient, but in reality, she is even stupier than I am.

This implied that the Second Young Mistress was actually not close with her third sister, and had pretended to speak up for her. Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that this wasn't a good word, and it was clearly throwing a rock at their own feet.

Gu Yun, who had been silent all morning, suddenly spoke: "I should bring Jingwan to the south side of the mountain in a few days. I should leave matters of the mansion to my sister-in-law."

It was already the first month, and the sky in the capital was still very cold. This year, Gu Yun did not go to the south because he wanted to marry his wife, so it was understandable for him to have such a decision. However, once it involved his body, the Marquis would not object.

He could just leave wherever he wanted to go by patting his butt. For someone like Gu Heng, he would not be able to leave home so easily, so Xie Jingxi's marriage to Gu Yun was equivalent to having special privileges.

Marquis only frowned at these words, but did not object, "It's fine if you go, but your first wife just passed by, come back as soon as possible. Your mother and I are already old, come back and visit us more."

Xie Jingxi did not know about the grudge between them using the Marquis Mansion, but felt that what Marquis said was a little sour, but did Gu Yun really want to go to the south, why did he not inform her in advance, should he bring his grandmother along too?

On the way back, Xie Jingxi kept pondering about this problem in her heart. Gu Yun squeezed her hand, "What, are you blaming me for not having discussed this with you in advance?"

Xie Jingxi raised her head and looked at him, "Didn't you say that on purpose just now?"

Gu Yun laughed, he was truly a considerate girl, if not, his ability to change the topic would be top-notch. He knew that they had not reached the point where they could open their hearts to others, and some questions would inevitably hurt their feelings.

Gu Yun couldn't help but pinch her nose, "As smart as you are, I'll naturally cover for you. But there's still a difference between going or not, if you want to go, then of course I'm willing to accompany you, or if you want to bring your grandmother along."

The south was naturally different to Xie Jingxi, if she said that she did not want to go back, it would be a lie, she was only not sure of Gu Yun's thoughts. Since she had passed by the door, she had to worry about two people at least if she were to think of a problem, the more Gu Yun thought of everything for her, the more she could not let herself be. Besides, Grandmother was another aspect of it. It would be good to bring her back, but she was afraid that when they returned and Grandmother wasn't with them, she wouldn't want to see them again.

"Of course, I'll listen to you. No matter where I go, I'm fine with anything."

When Xie Jingxi was brave and decisive, it made Gu Yun admire her, but when she was clever and sensible, he loved her even more, so how could the wife he married be so painful to him? Gu Yun held her all the way without saying a word, and only after they had entered the room did he turn around and carry her in his arms.

"Xi is so sensible, how about I bring you to see an interesting person later?" Gu Yun hugged her with one hand and used the back of her head to play with her hair with the other. She lightly pulled on her hair, and the bun she tied up just now spread out like a waterfall, and the smell that lingered at the tip of his nose for the entire night pervaded out once again.

Xie Jingxi lifted her head, just when she was annoyed that he had taken down her hair for good, she was suddenly kissed by Gu Yun. Her lips were soft and full of tender love, and even though the two of them had already bowed to him, Xie Jingxi was still a little embarrassed.

Gu Yun laughed as he held her in his arms, he buried his face in her chest and refused to get up. Gu Yun laughed on top of her head, angering Xie Jingxi to the point of wanting to pinch him.

"Just what is this face of yours made of? How does it sound red? I'll definitely try to lay an egg on it another day."

"You're still talking about it!?" "I'll ignore you again."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll get someone to comb your hair later. We have to hurry and get some food."

Grab food? Xie Jingxi wondered why Gu Yun had such a hobby. It was not good to go get food for ourselves. Gu Yun kept his in suspense and placed her in front of the dressing table. Not long later, the girl who had combed her hair entered.

"Good morning Madam, my name is Fang Dai."

It turns out that this girl was called Fang Dai, and she did not remember to ask for her name that day. Fang Dai was slender and neat, with a bit of heroic spirit between her brows, and her straightforward personality, quite fitting with Xie Jingxi's eyes.

"What do you want to do with your hair in a bun?"

After becoming a woman, the bun was rather particular, it could not be too casual, but Xie Jingxi did not like that kind of complicated and old bun either, so she did not pay much attention to it.

"I'll just make it simple and light."

Gu Yun looked at her from behind and laughed. Xie Jingxi glared at him through the mirror and then spoke to Fang Dai in a low voice. Fang Dai smiled and nodded, "I understand young master."

Not knowing what Gu Yun was thinking, Fang Dai continued to play with him and watch him at the same time. From the looks of it, he seemed to be a student of the trade, Fang Dai's techniques were very efficient and after a few turns, he looked more or less like it. Xie Jingxi looked in the mirror and helped her tie her hair back in a loose manner. The knot behind his looked very simple but was in fact very special. Xie Jingxi's hair was very thick, so it did not look soft.

Gu Yun helped her pick out a white jade hairpin and put it on his head. In an instant, it became different again, Fang Dai was even considerate and helped her place the mirror at the back. Xie Jingxi looked at it for a while and felt very satisfied.

"It's your handiwork after all. The way you comb your hair is really different."

Fang Dai covered her mouth and laughed, "It was eldest young master's orders, I only did what he said."

Xie Jingxi suddenly looked into her eyes that were looking at him in the mirror, and his face flushed red again. Gu Yun waved for Fang Dai to get down, and then came behind her, putting a pair of hands on her face with a hint of coldness, "Un, it's really warm."

"How can you be like this!"

Xie Jingxi was simply about to turn angry from embarrassment. Even if she was beaten to death, she would never have thought that Gu Yun would actually have such a shameless nature, provoking her from every corner. Xie Jingxi reached out his hand, wanting to take away the hand that was supposed to make her face even hotter, but was actually wrapped up in Gu Yun's hands.

"If you like Fang Dai, how about you keep her to comb your hair in the future?"

"Is that alright? I saw that Fang Dai that girl, she doesn't seem like she can be a little girl in the house, don't you think that she might be a little overboard?"

"What's the use of combing Xi's hair? As long as you like it."

"Gu Yun! I don't want to stay with you anymore, hurry up and go out, I want to change clothes! "

Xie Jingxi could not take it anymore, and was about to push him out, but Gu Yun said shamelessly, "What did you call me just now? Again. "

Xie Jingxi decided to just turn her head and ignore him. Gu Yun laughed: "Alright then, I'll wait for you outside. If you call me husband or Xuanchen again, I'll punish you."

Gu Yun did not tease her anymore as he turned and walked out of the house. After holding the clothes for a long time, he did not remember what he wanted to do and in the end, was angry that he was useless.

Xie Jingxi changed her clothes and came out. Gu Yun was already waiting for her inside the carriage, Gu Yun's courtyard had an outer door, they could directly enter the carriage in the courtyard. Xie Jingxi was helped up the carriage by Ming Yu, who pulled her to sit beside him.

"Are we going to the outskirts of the capital?"

Since he was going to use a carriage, then he had to walk a long way. Xie Jingxi remembered that he still had her own courtyard, so she might even have went there.

"En, you guessed it right. I'll cook something delicious for you at noon."

Xie Jingxi looked at him in disdain. Did they think she was a three year old child?

"If you're sleepy, then sleep for a while. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it. You might not be able to sleep in the afternoon."

Xie Jingxi always had the habit of taking a nap, if she did not sleep, she would be in a very low spirits in the afternoon. She nodded towards Gu Yun, but felt that he was still very likeable.

Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, Gu Yun placed a small pillow on his body, "Go and sleep here, if the carriage bumps, you will be in trouble."

Xie Jingxi didn't resist this time, because she knew how it felt to be hit by the carriage. She rested her head on the pillow, but was actually resting her head on Gu Yun's body.

"No worries, just sleep."

In order to prevent her from pressing down on his bun, Gu Yun very considerately turned her head to the side and put an arm around her neck, which was practically lying in the crook of his arm. Before he went to sleep, he thought to himself, I definitely can't sleep too hard, otherwise my arm would probably break.
