The few of them ate in silence, following the rules.

After washing his mouth with rice, Master Gu went to the imperial court.

Gu Yunxiao couldn't wait to return to the yard after she left the girls, who had already cleaned up the table, to look at each other.

If even one or two of them didn't move, she wouldn't dare to leave without permission.

Hong Luan asked Xiao maidservant to bring the tea over. Gu Yunxiao sniffed the faint aroma of the tea and knew that it was the best Jadeite Spring. It should have come from Marquis Stability's residence.

Sure enough, Ji Jiaqian smiled and asked, "These are the tea leaves my mother sent me. I don't usually drink tea, but I heard that I can drink a cup after dinner. That's why Hong Luan brought them out. I don't know if it suits your taste."

"The fragrance of the tea assails the nose and curls around it. Naturally, it is a rare top-grade tea that I have never tasted before." Yan Zixin saw that the two sisters were silent and worried about the awkward situation, so she hurriedly replied.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to slap herself.

He only wanted to flatter Ji Jiaqian, but the words he said were too exaggerated. It was obvious what he meant by flattering her.

Ji Jiaqian was used to hearing these words, so she didn't take it seriously.

Besides, Yan Zixin had always been thin-skinned. People like her were easy to deal with.

With Gu Xuanyi around, he didn't believe that Yan Zixin would go against him.

Ji Jiaqian didn't seem to hear Gu Yunyan's chuckle. She turned to Yan Zixin and said, "Since you like it, let Hong Luan take the rest of the tea leaves to the Lingxiao Pavilion."

"I can't allow that to happen. How can I steal someone's treasure?" Yan Zixin quickly waved her hand. She had said something wrong, but if she took them away after drinking, she might put a stain on Gu Xuanyi's face later on. She thought that the couple was a greedy and cheap couple.

"Didn't the old master just say that we are a family now? How can we be so clear on each other?" Ji Jiaqian's voice was coquettish and gentle, neither too fast nor too slow, but it was impossible to refuse.

"Besides, no matter how good this tea is, it's still good if you like it. It would be a waste if you were to stay with me. "

It wasn't that Yan Zixin asked for the tea, but that Ji Jiaqian thought this person liked it and so she sent the tea leaves over.

Yan Zixin's face was saved. She sighed that the Marquis Stability Manor had indeed come from all sides.

How could it be like Gu Yunyan's little hoof, not leaving any face for herself, laughing without restraint. Don't think that she didn't hear it!

Suppressing her anger, Yan Zixin hurriedly handed over the storehouse booklet she had prepared. "This has been prepared recently. I don't know if there are any flaws in it. Please take a look, Madam."

Ji Jiaqian didn't look at it, but gestured for Hong Luan to take the booklet. "I will definitely be at ease with what you have to do, so there's no need to look through it. However, since I have just entered the Palace and am not familiar with the surroundings, I would have to trouble you to help me out. "

"Of course, Madam can instruct me as you wish." Yan Zixin's heart felt a lot more comfortable. Anyone who had been busy for a month would be exhausted just by tidying up the account books.

If Ji Jiaqian had still opened the warehouse and looked through them one by one, not mentioning how Yan Zixin would lose face, she would also lose her trust in Yan Zixin. In the Gu's Mansion, he would no longer have the dignity of a master.

Luckily, this youngest daughter from Marquis Stability did not fuss about it at all. Maybe she wanted to make up for the flaws.

Ji Jiaqian was a rich person, so naturally, she wouldn't care about such a small matter.

After handing over the key to the warehouse, Yan Zixin decided to take her leave.

Gu Yunxiao hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Ji Jiaqian, "The mansion was bustling yesterday, I heard Rann saw Third Miss, so he called Hong Luan out from here?"

"Yes, Mother. When I went to the pavilion, I met Young Master Ji. He saw my face filled with anxiety, so he asked me a few questions. " When a girl who had yet to leave the pavilion saw an outsider male, it was always against the rules and she couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.
