Chapter 33
Half a month passed, and the house on Wenxing Street was finally put back in order.

Jiang Fuyue took a look just after breakfast and was very satisfied. Then she took Jingzhe and Gu Yu to play outside for a day, which was considered as fulfilling her original promise.

The three masters and servants played together all day and did not return home until dusk.

Jingzhe and Guyu both returned home with a full load, each holding a delicate box in their hands, looking at it with great interest, but Jiang Fuyue had nothing in her hands, but had the word "tired" written directly on her face.

Seeing Jiang Fuyue lie down on the imperial concubine's couch as soon as she came back, Jingzhe and Gu Yu smiled at each other, and both moved softly, for fear of disturbing Jiang Fuyue's rest.

The two sat down on the small table and each opened the box in their hands, revealing that it was full of various exquisite hairpins and rouge and gouache.

The two of them took out the contents of the box, but they couldn't even put it on the small table in front of them.

"Hehe..." Gu Yu held a hairpin in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.

When they entered the Hou's Mansion before, they were stared at by Mrs. Jiang and could not go out at all. Later, when they entered the Hou's Mansion, Jiang Fuyue was too busy with trivial matters to spare time. Thinking about it carefully, she had not gone out shopping for a long time!
Jingzhe and Gu Yu sat aside, taking stock of what they had gained today, while Jiang Fuyue slept until dinner time when she was woken up.

She was mentally exhausted, so she simply asked Gu Yu to move the food table to the bed. She forced herself to take a few mouthfuls, lay back and fell asleep.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, then looked at her speechlessly.

Her hair was not loose and her clothes were not changed. Fortunately, Jiang Fuyue could sleep.

How sleepy is this!

"What...what should I do?" This was the first time Gu Yu encountered such a situation, so he could only ask Jingzhe in a low voice.

Seeing Jiang Fuyue sleeping soundly, Jingzhe shook his head: "It's okay, just let Madam sleep like this. I'll stay here tonight. If Madam wakes up at night and feels uncomfortable, I'll just wait for Madam to undress."

Hearing this, Gu Yu shook his head decisively: "No, no, I'll keep watch. You've been running around for half a month. Look how ugly you are now. I'll keep watch. You go back to sleep!"

Jingzhe gritted his teeth: "You really know how to talk!"

It was obviously for her own good, but why did she suddenly want to hit someone as soon as she said these words?

Guyu waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Of course, who am I? Go back quickly!"

After saying that, Gu Yu turned around and moved the quilt.

The slightly raised corners of his mouth never went down no matter how hard he suppressed them.

A good night's dream.

The next morning, when Jiang Fuyue was still dressing up, someone from Songshouyuan suddenly came over and said that the old lady invited Jiang Fuyue to have breakfast with her.

"My mother-in-law asked me to have breakfast together?" Jiang Fuyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Jingzhe who came in to deliver the message, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Did you hear wrongly?"

In her previous life, until the end of her life, the old lady treated her like a servant. She always ordered her around and bossed her around. Except during the holidays, when the whole family was together, she never asked her to go alone. Have eaten!
Jingzhe was a little helpless, but still nodded and said: "I heard you right, that person did say that!"

Jiang Fuyue's face hardened: "It's so abnormal, I'm afraid something big is going to happen."

Hearing this, Gu Yu's hand movements sped up a bit more, and he was still talking: "But the house has been quiet recently. I haven't heard of any big events!"

Jiang Fuyue was also puzzled by this.

But if there was nothing serious, how could the old lady call her over out of nowhere?

Until Guyu fixed the hairpin for her, Jiang Fuyue couldn't think of a reason, so she simply didn't think about it and got up directly and went to Songshouyuan. ——

Songshouyuan is very lively today.

In addition to the old lady, Madam Jiang and Jiang Fuyao were also there.

Today, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Fuyao were obviously dressed up, especially Jiang Fuyao, who was wearing a light green myrobalan skirt and a layer of tulle sleeves of the same color with exquisite embroidery on it, which made her look particularly smart.

When Jiang Fuyue arrived, the old lady and Mrs. Jiang had already sat down in the dining room. Mrs. Jiang looked a little bad, and Jiang Fuyao was a little embarrassed standing aside. It seemed that they had not been happy with each other just now.

Jiang Fuyue glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze, stepped forward and saluted, "My daughter-in-law pays my respects to my mother-in-law."

"Well," the old lady responded lightly, "Sit down and eat."

Although she sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the dining room, Jiang Fuyue said nothing, and even ignored the hints from Mrs. Jiang's eyes several times. She sat down to the side and started eating on her own.

Seeing that she couldn't count on her, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to laugh and talk to the old lady: "Old lady, Fuyao and Fuyue have grown up together since childhood. Now, Fuyao really misses his sister, so he is making trouble to come to the Hou Mansion. You who live here temporarily, you see, you, a Marquis family with a big business, don't have enough mouths to eat, right?"

Seeing that the old lady still looked indifferent, Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and said: "Don't worry, old lady, we are not here to take advantage of the Hou Mansion. It's better to do this. We pay the food fee to the Hou Mansion and let Fuyao and Fu You can live in a courtyard for a month, and it doesn’t take up much space. Isn’t that good?”

The old lady then raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Jiang, but did not speak. Instead, she looked at Jiang Fuyue: "Fuyue, what do you think about this?"

Jiang Fuyue was suddenly called upon, so she had to put down the chopsticks in her hand and turned to look at Jiang Fuyao.

She had forgotten that Jiang Fuyao was old enough to propose marriage.

In the previous life, Mrs. Jiang sent Jiang Fuyao to the Marquis Mansion, hoping that Jiang Fuyao would stay in the Marquis Mansion for a while before going out to talk about marriage, which would be regarded as gold plating.

When talking about marriage, you only need to mention that Jiang Fuyao also stayed in the Marquis Mansion before, and it will go much smoother, and maybe there will be unexpected gains.

In her previous life, Jiang Fuyao did marry well, and her husband's family eventually became a third-rank official.

Jiang Fuyue withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't have any opinion. This is just my mother-in-law's order."

She really doesn't care.

Moreover, even if Jiang Fuyao does not enter the Hou Mansion today, Mrs. Jiang may not necessarily think of many ways to send her in in the future.

As for living in the same courtyard as Jiang Fuyao, that doesn't matter.

Everyone in Shaoguang Yuan belongs to her, so there is no reason to be afraid of others on her own territory.

Seeing Jiang Fuyue say this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that since Jiang Fuyue came home last time and the two parties broke up on bad terms, Jiang Fuyue might be dissatisfied with her and would try to stop her today, but now she saw that Jiang Fuyue was still the same as before. Same, he has no temper.

That's fine, Jiang Fuyue has no temper, and she doesn't have to worry about Fuyao being wronged in the Hou Mansion.

So Mrs. Jiang didn't bother to look at Jiang Fuyue anymore, but looked at the old lady expectantly.

The old lady had no objection and nodded directly.

Anyway, the daughter of the Jiang family lives in Jiang Fuyue's yard. Not only does she not have to spend any money, but she can also get a lot from Mrs. Jiang. This kind of business is nothing if not done.
