Hearing this, Ji Qingrou's expression softened. Gu Yunyan did not continue to retort, "Then let's choose the pavilion. After all, the backyard is too small, so it's a bit boring to entertain guests in the parlour."

Ji Qingrou agreed. The parlour was only that big. Let alone Gu Yunyan, even she had Xiao Xilin be a guest there, and it was getting very noisy on the surface.

"My lord, you must call one or two of the zither masters over to cheer us up …"

Gu Yunyan interrupted her in a displeased manner, "There is no need for a zither master. I think my zither arts are good, so it would be good if you could give me some pointers." Otherwise, we might be able to invite the Lord to play a song with me. "

Ji Qingrou sneered, "How can we be like the zither masters who show our faces in public? We don't lose our status at all. However, since Sister is like this, I'm afraid that the last sentence is the true words of the heart. "

Hearing that, Gu Yunyan glanced at her, "Speaking of which, how good is Little Sister Ji's zither arts? "It would be better to spar with me one day. If it really isn't possible, you can ask mother to ask the female teacher to help the little sister, so as to not lose face in front of the adults."

"You …"

Ji Qingrou was so angry that she was on the verge of vomiting blood. Gu Yunxiao could only sigh and advise, "Your excellency enjoys peace and quiet. Appreciating the flowers and tasting the tea is also very good."

Only then did the two of them give up. Gu Yunxiao felt extremely tired, and could only sit by the side and listen to their quarrels. When she returned to the Fragrant Lotus Yard s, she felt that her ears were still buzzing.

Liu Xu massaged her forehead painfully, then complained in a low voice, "Second Miss is right. Even though she knows that the boat is tiring, she still didn't come back in a hurry to rest. She just couldn't wait to get Third Miss to discuss the matter of entertaining the guests."

Although Lord Imperial Tutor agreed, he didn't say which day he would visit. Maybe Gu Yunyan would be a bit too anxious after 10 days to half a month?

Gu Yunxiao sighed. She was the one who said that beauties were trouble, but now she was. "They are all eager for our lord to come tomorrow. How can they not be anxious?"

The two of them really wanted to set up the Gu's Mansion in one day and calmly wait for Xiao Xilin to come to their doorstep.

Liu Xu suddenly realized that Gu Yunxiao was not wearing the same clothes she had worn this morning. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where is Lady Li's original clothes?"

Gu Yunxiao then remembered that she had forgotten to bring back her clothes from the cruise ship and sighed. "I was wet and left them on the manor."

Hearing this, how could Liu Xu not know that it was Ji Qingrou who had done the wrong thing? She frowned and said, "Lady can't always be modest. Who knows, Miss Ji might not be grateful from the start."

Of course, Ji Qingrou wouldn't be grateful. On the contrary, she felt quite a bit of resentment towards her.

It was because of Ji Jiaqian that Gu Yunxiao was able to hold back against her so much.

However, if Ji Qingrou went too far, he wouldn't be able to endure it any longer.

"It was just a small matter. At that time, I wanted to avoid it, but little sister Ji actually gave me an excuse." Gu Yunxiao was too lazy to interfere in the battle between the two and lazily lay down. "If the two of them come to invite me tomorrow, just say that I caught a slight chill yesterday and won't be going to rest in the courtyard. I won't be able to pass on my illness to them."

Liu Xu covered her mouth and laughed. miss was avoiding Gu Yunyan and Ji Qingrou.

That's right, the two of them definitely wouldn't come to the Fragrant Lotus Yard after hearing that.

If he was sick, how would he receive Xiao Xilin? Wouldn't that be letting others off?

Sure enough, when they heard that Gu Yunxiao was sick, the two of them kept their distance and only sent maidservant a greeting.

On the other hand, Ji Jiaqian called Hong Luan over to the Fragrant Lotus Yard s, afraid that this smart maidservant would notice something. Gu Yunxiao's entire body was buried under the quilt, only revealing half of her face.
