Chapter 410

Gu Zezhi looked at Qin Jiu and remembered what she had said last time.

The purpose of Wang Yu’s people coming to the capital was definitely not simple.

In other words, did Gu Chenzhi really colluded with Wang Yu five years ago?

Seeing Gu Zezhi looking at her, Qin Jiu blinked, feeling as if his eyes were full of hidden meaning, and that it had something to do with her...

Did she do something?

Qin Jiu racked her brain when suddenly her eyes lit up and tapping her palm, she said. “I almost forgot!”

She untied the purse at her waist, took out a one-finger wide purple hairband from the purse, flung it around, and said braggingly, “I embroidered it, looks good, doesn’t it?”T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

She looked at him with sparkling eyes.

The long hairband was embroidered with honeysuckle patterns in silver threads, and when reflected by the sun, it would shimmer brightly.

Gu Zezhi’s response was raising his hand to removed the silver hair crown on his head, and his originally black hair that was properly combed fell down like waterfall and scattered on his shoulders and back, making him instantly looked lazy and carefree.

This action was obvious.

“I’ll brush your hair.” Qin Jiu instantly stood up from the chair.

The servant was very observant and immediately fetched a wooden comb and a bronze mirror.

Qin Jiu excitedly took the wooden comb and brushed his hair. His hair was black, thick, and completely different from hers.

She heard that people with black and thick hair had tough, strong, and decisive personalities. Gu Zezhi was exactly like this, but he always puts on a gentle appearance, deceiving the dead but not paying for his life.

The servant suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and completely oblivious to the fact that Du Ruo in the corner was staring at him, staring at him, and staring at him.

This man does not even understand the eye signal, did he not see that their master was having an intimate moment, does he not know decency?!

Just then, a messy sound of footsteps came from outside, and another manservant came in at a brisk pace, panting as he reported, “Wangye, Madam is almost at Shili Pavilion outside the city.”

Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu exchanged glances before Gu Zezhi stood up from his chair and said, “Let’s go.”

The reason why Qin Jiu came to Xiao Mansion today was because he heard that Madam Xiao was coming back, so she specifically came to pick her up with Gu Zezhi.

Two of them walked out together, and soon after they left the city, they bumped into Madam Xiao and her group of carriages and horses who were coming towards their direction.

After a short pause, Qin Jiu entered Madam Xiao’s carriage, and the group of carriages and horses continued to travel in the direction of the city.

“Zezhi, why didn’t you tell me in advance that Xiao Jiu was coming too.” Madam Xiao spoke with a scolding tone.

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying word, his mother was not much better than him. Yesterday, she sent someone to tell him that she was returning. He originally believed that she would stay in Jiangnan until the end of the year.

The carriage moved slowly along the way.

Although it was a long journey back to the capital from Jiangnan, Madam Xiao seemed to be in a good spirit. When she talked about Jiangnan, her eyes lit up and talked endlessly.

“I haven’t been back to Jiangnan for more than thirty years, it’s changed so much there, if it wasn’t for your aunts and uncles coming to pick me up, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even recognize the road.”

“I’ve made quite a few paintings this trip back, and I’ll have to frame them properly in the next few days.”

“...”

Seeing Madam Xiao’s attachment to Jiangnan, Gu Zezhi could not help but asked. “Mother, why didn’t you stay in Jiangnan for a while longer?”

Madam Xiao looked at her son strangely, thinking that he was usually smart than anyone else, so how could he be foolish at critical moments! He was not even thinking right about it; if she did not come back, who would arrange his marriage? Does he still want to marry his wife this year!!
