Zou Ling was a lively and charming young lady, she was not like the young ladies of the capital city who had to be cautious when meeting with others, and did not recognize anyone alive. In the time it took for him to eat a few fruits in Xie Jingxi's room, she had completely forgotten about the instructions given to her by the Lady Zou, and her bell-like laughter resounded throughout the entire courtyard.

She wasn't like Fang Yu who would deliberately get close to someone, and even if she was joking with Ming Yu, she wouldn't go close to them like a sister. It could be seen that no matter how much she played, she still had a sense of propriety.

Xie Jingxi asked the Lady Zou, "Did you raise this sister from a young age in your hometown?"

"That's right. My parents are very spoiled, and they refused to bring him to the capital early. That's why they became so unruly."

"It's rare, but it's by nature, and I think that's pretty good. In the capital, I don't have to restrain my temper any further. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm from the north, I would have thought that I was raised in the south."

Zou Ling laughed and said: "My mother is from the south, before I didn't see you, I thought that she was all of the southern women, only after meeting the Grand Mistress did I know the true meaning of 'Zhong Lingxiu', it seems that I am fated to meet the southern lady."

Xie Jingxi laughed, "You sure know how to speak. Do you usually study?"

"Of course I have to read them. For example, I like to read all kinds of poems and poems that are written in history books. It's just that I can't remember even after reading them. My mother said that it was like she didn't read them at all."

Lady Zou glanced at her with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"The girl's love of reading history books is rather unexpected. When I thought of it, a lady would fall asleep after seeing such a book. She doesn't really know how to read poems either, just reading some random books."

"What's the point of reading a book? I've read a few books and felt that the girl's' gongzi 'isn't that much, and the book is not that scary either. It's better for me to go deep into the mountains in the middle of the night and listen to the wolf's howls."

Ming Yu opened her mouth wide, "Ah? "If you go alone, how terrible would that be?"

This was an action that Ming Yu could not comprehend. Of course, most people might not be able to comprehend it, but this girl was indeed special, and her personality was also rare to see someone not putting on an act. It was just that it was a pity that she was Lady Zou's sister.

"Little girl Ming Yu, don't listen to her nonsense. You don't have to learn from her to be bad, what good deed does the young lady have with her family still hanging on her lips?"

Zou Ling pouted her lips: "Sister, you're talking about me again, I don't think it's strange for Grand Mistress to do that, right, Grand Mistress?"

Xie Jingxi said as she smiled, "It's fine if she's casual, there's nothing bad about it. I see that you're rather interesting, come visit us often and tell us some news from the outside world to a girl like Ming Yu, she likes to listen to it."

"You are easy to talk to." Lady Zou pulled Xie Jingxi and said smilingly, "Forget it, we've troubled you for a long time today, so it's about time for us to return. We'll come visit you another day."

Fang Yu saw the two out and returned to Xie Jingxi saying: "Eldest Young Master came back a long time ago, and met Young Mistress Zou at the entrance. Only then did he go to the study, I just went to the front yard and heard that Marquis' Wife had already invited Young Mistress Zou's accountant to help out in the mansion."

Xie Jingxi had already changed her clothes, and she was lying on the bed in exhaustion. She was already prepared for this, and was not too surprised, but compared to Lady Zou wanting to meddle in the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, she was more curious about Zou Ling's intentions in coming to the capital.

"There's no need for us to ask too much about Marquis Mansion from now on. Other than the necessary things, we don't need to go out and walk around the front courtyard."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Yun and Ming Yu withdrew from the study room after observing the situation. As usual, he laid on Xie Jingxi's stomach and listened for a while, not knowing how long she would be able to hear. Lord Gu was beaming with joy as he hugged his daughter, "It's rare to come back early, but I was disturbed again, why did Lady Zou come over?"

"He just came to see me and also brought his sister here to recognize her face. When you met them earlier, what did you think of this Miss Zou?"

Gu Yun watched the expression on his wife's face while holding back her head, "What, Xi is testing me again?"

I have a feeling that Zou Ling did not come to the capital just to find her in-laws. She comes from the northeast, and I don't know if she has anything to do with that mysterious power, or if Xiao Xiao knows of the Lady Zou's background. Furthermore, the Lady Zou had actually brought her here today, perhaps because of Marquis Mansion.

Seeing his wife looking at him, Gu Yun laughed: Why are you looking at me like that, even if she wanted to send Zou Ling to the Marquis Mansion, she wouldn't be able to do it for me, so why not give her to Gu Heng?

Xie Jingxi was so angry that she hammered him, "What are you saying, I seem to be unreasonable. I just find this lady pretty good, and think it's a pity." Otherwise, it would be equivalent to giving it to Jingyu.

"Hmm? It's rare to get caught by Xi, but that lady really has her tricks, I must take a good look at her some other time, of course I wouldn't dare if Xi didn't let me see it. "

"Who told you not to. Maybe that girl already has her eyes on you." Zou Ling was indeed not bad, maybe Lady Zeng took a liking to her and changed his mind, and would say Zou Ling was good, but, if Lady Zou was really planning it on Gu Yun, then there would be a lot more to see.

Gu Yun hugged her and took a breath, "Then you better watch out carefully, your husband is in a rush right now, those who have ideas on me are in line."

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, "Seeing that you are beautiful, Lady Zou's thoughts are not on you. I guess what she already guessed, such as that I was secretly investigating her, or that Marquis was also secretly investigating her, she wants to put someone by your side to probe her. Even if she guessed wrong, it would not be a loss if I try to rope you in."

"You mean to say that her thoughts are on the entire Marquis Mansion? So you're saying that everything that happened before was done by her? "

"It's not too far off, but there are some things that don't make sense, so I guess there's definitely still her people in the Marquis Mansion. No, maybe it's someone from there, their basic goal might be the same, but they also had their own thoughts, so they had a conflict. For example, Big Sis and Big Brother's deaths, it's very likely that it wasn't just one person's doing."

Gu Yun frowned, "The way you put it is creepy enough, I was too lazy to meddle in the matters of the Palace, and didn't expect it to be so soul-stirring. If I knew earlier, I definitely wouldn't have told you to stay in the Marquis Mansion to meddle in other family matters."

Since you can't hide, then why not investigate it thoroughly? I guess that the first time you had the thought of marrying me, it was also for this reason, you saw that there is a problem with the difficult situation in my Second Miss, and you also saw that I was secretly investigating your Marquis Mansion. You feel that I am still somewhat clever, so in the future, I might be able to help you, but is it like this?

Xie Jingxi looked at him calmly, afraid that he would nod her head but also afraid that he would not do so. In short, Gu Yun's thoughts had been conflicted, not because she had seen through his thoughts, but because she felt that a woman who was pregnant was really hard to guess.

Gu Yun did not nod or shake his head, but he did not deny her words, because he did indeed think that way for an instant, but it was only for an instant.

Gu Yun comforted her and caressed her hair, "Silly Xi, even if I thought about it that instant before, the moment I decided to marry you, I only wanted to protect you forever and think about how narrow-minded your husband is, okay?"

Although he might not be able to protect her for the rest of her life, that was indeed what he thought.

Xie Jingxi buried her face in his body, "It's my fault. You should forgive a Xi who has a bad brain due to being pregnant."

Gu Yun laughed and pecked her on the corner of his mouth, "It looks to me like you're not stupid, you're just not allowed to stay in the Marquis Mansion. Let's just move to the Suddenness Garden to recuperate, since you don't care about family matters right now, it would pinch my heart if I saw you can't sleep well while eating at the Marquis Mansion. If I live together with the old lady, I might be able to eat once my mood is better."

"Hmm? "Can you come with me now? Are you done with the cases in the south?"

But the Second Prince is going to get married in two months. When his son asked me to marry him two days ago, I agreed. At that time, both of us will be going. "

"It seems that you're quite popular as a teacher. Inviting you to a marriage, that's because you're very fond of him. That's no problem. At most, he'll just come back for another round." When Xie Jingxi thought about going to the Suddenness Garden, he felt extremely energetic, and wished that she could immediately pack her luggage. After that, she felt that it was outrageous and came back to sit down, "You said that the Second Prince's wedding, is the person from the Shen Family in the capital?"

I am afraid he does not have such a big face, but I can't say for sure, but I think he will not be able to come, this time the southern side of the case involves a lot of people, Shen Mao Tian's people are up a lot, he should be too tired to deal with it, and the southwest side of Shang Jia is mostly engulfed by Song Yanchen, Shen Mao Tian's two ends are plagued, his heart is not sure how to vent his anger.

There were too many people in the Shen Family who disliked him, but the Imperial Noble Consort Shen was also big hearted, and she had specially asked for people whom she disliked to be roped in. Not many days after her death, she told them to come over immediately and talk and laugh at his wedding, and that she wouldn't be happy if she didn't avoid the topic regarding Imperial Consort Shen during his wedding.

Xie Jingxi continued: "Since it's already this stifling, why not add a little more fuel to the fire, and let the Shen Family block him even more thoroughly?"

Gu Yun looked at her calmly, "What wrong idea is Xi thinking now?"

Xie Jingxi deliberately whispered a few words into his ear. Gu Yun's brows twitched, and bit on the tip of her nose, "As expected of my Xi, you're thinking the same thing as me. Since it's like this, I can't keep my Shen Family any longer."
