Chapter 586: Mother’s Thoughts Are Easy to Guess
When Baoji heard that Song Yuntang was going to report the matter to the old marquis, he became even more flustered.
The old marquis was already dissatisfied with his master.
If this matter involves the master, his life in the Marquis' Mansion will become even more difficult.
She stood up suddenly from the ground.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. My Lady, you have no evidence, so forcing me to do this is already unreasonable. Are you bullying me by taking advantage of your power?"
Song Yuntang glanced at her indifferently.
"This matter involves my son's safety. Of all those present today, you are currently the most suspicious. If I don't arrest you, what if you run away?" She said in a firm tone, "Even if I am accused of bullying others today, you will not leave!"
On the side, Xu Wencheng picked up a small stone bullet and shot it out, hitting Baoji's knee.
Breguet couldn't bear the pain, cried out in pain, and knelt down again.
Seeing this, Xu Wencheng nodded with satisfaction.
"It's better to kneel down."
Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Xu Wencheng and curled the corners of his lips.
He is already a general, but he still acts like a child.
Baoji looked at the man who was shooting stones at her and said angrily, "Who are you? I belong to the Yangdu Marquisate. Aren't you afraid that the Yangdu Marquisate will settle accounts with you in the future if you do this?"
Although Xu Wencheng's current status is different from before, he was born in the countryside after all and is used to a free and easy life. He is really not used to wearing those exquisite silks and satins.
In his words, silk and satin were too fragile, and wearing them was like trapping him in a net.
Normally, I would be afraid of tearing such high-quality fabric if I moved too much.
In addition, Xu Wencheng did not do much in the capital, and probably only a few ministers in the court knew him.
The ladies in the backyard of Beijing did not know him.
After outsiders learned of Song Yuntang's identity, and compared him with Xu Wencheng next to him, they simply thought that he was a servant or security guard of the Xu family, who had specially followed Princess Le'an out to protect her son.
I didn't think of the young general.
"Settlement of accounts? Okay."
Xu Wencheng smiled like a dandy.
"I just came down from the battlefield and have nothing to do right now. If the Yangdu Marquisate wants to settle a score with me over a servant, I wouldn't mind playing along."
When Breguet, who was kneeling on the ground, heard him call himself a general, what was there that he didn't understand?
Who would have thought that this tall man who looked young was actually the younger brother of Lord Xu who became a general at a young age!
Rumor has it in the capital that Lord Xu's younger brother and he are two extremes.
One is as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant.
The other one was a ferocious looking monster with a burly build.
However, I didn't expect that this young general was very different from the rumors.
Baoji suppressed his surprise and kowtowed to him.
"I didn't know you were General Xu. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have committed."
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Xu Wencheng.
Wencheng is still too low-key in his daily life. It seems that I have to invite him to more such gatherings in the future so that more women can see his shining points.
"Wencheng, look over here." She pointed in the direction of the straw hut. "I'm going to go thank that young lady first."
I guess I'll be able to find the silver when I come back.
Xu Wencheng crossed his arms across his chest.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm here, and none of them can escape."
Song Yuntang nodded and took Hao Ting to the wooden shed.
The woman in the wooden shed had already put away her fishing rod and was quietly watching the farce here with the maid beside her. Seeing Song Yuntang leading Hao Ting towards them, she hurriedly stood up.
"Meet Princess Le'an."
She had never seen Hao Ting before, and she thought that this child was the child of the young master just now, but she didn't expect that he was the eldest son of Princess Le'an and Lord Xu.
And that handsome young man turned out to be the ferocious young general rumored in the capital.
It’s true, hearing about something is not as good as meeting it in person.
"No need to be so polite." Song Yuntang looked at her with a smile, "You look unfamiliar, young lady. I wonder where you come from?"
The woman looked humble.
"My name is Gu Xinjiu. My father is Gu Zhili, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. Because my mother prefers quietness, I have always lived with her in the suburbs of Beijing. I rarely go out in the capital, so it's normal that the princess has never seen her."
Song Yuntang smiled knowingly.
"So it's Miss Gu. Master Gu is a role model and well-educated. I think Miss Gu is also well-educated and well-mannered."
She nodded at Gu Xinjiu.
"Thank you for your warning, young lady. In such weather, if the child falls into the water, the consequences will be disastrous."
Hao Ting understood.
He raised his hand and saluted very politely.
"Thank you, Aunt Gu."
The child's facial features are very beautiful. His big, bright eyes have long and thick eyelashes, like a fan, which flutter as he blinks his eyes, making him look like a lifelike rag doll.
The good-looking and polite child softened Gu Xinjiu's slow-to-warm-up personality a little.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Princess and young master, there's no need to be polite. General Xu has already thanked Xinjiu. As long as the young master is safe and sound, that's all that matters."
This girl was neither arrogant nor impetuous, but gentle and modest, which made Song Yuntang quite fond of her.
Moreover, he is so young, yet he can live with his mother in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time and withstand the temptation of the extravagant life in Beijing. In addition to being filial and sensible, I think he is also a person with inner integrity.
Although her appearance is not stunning, her features are pretty and attractive, and she is a nice girl.
If she wasn't engaged yet...
Song Yuntang thought about it and looked in the direction of Xu Wencheng.
At the same time, one of the two people who went into the water suddenly raised something in his hand.
"Found it, ten taels of silver!"
Seeing this, Song Yuntang greeted Gu Xinjiu and went to the lake.
Hao Ting glanced in the direction of his mother and second uncle who had just left the pavilion, then turned back to look at Gu Xinjiu, tilting his head with a questioning look on his chubby face.
"Aunt Gu, do you want to go watch the fun together?"
Gu Xinjiu smiled and squatted down in front of him, gently pinching his little face.
"I can see it from here too. Young Master, go find the princess."
Having stayed with her mother in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time, she is not one who likes to join in the fun.
He is not familiar with the nobles in the capital.
That's why I came to the lake to fish just now.
It's just that my skills are not very good, and I haven't caught a single fish yet.
Hao Ting did not reject her touch. He frowned and thought about it, then sat down on the bench beside him.
"Then I'll stay here with my aunt."
Gu Xinjiu was amused by the little guy's behavior and sat down next to him.
"Young Master, you are here with me. Aren't you afraid that your mother will worry?"
Xu Haoting shook his head and said "hmm~".
"Mother knows that Auntie is a good person."
"Young Master, how do you know what your mother is thinking?" Gu Xinjiu asked again.
Hao Ting tilted his head and looked to the upper left.
"I can see that." He raised his eyebrows, like a cunning little fox. "It's easy to guess what Mother is thinking. If she likes me, she likes me. If she hates me, she hates me. She never hides it."
Gu Xinjiu smiled faintly.
"The princess is a person of genuine character."
She took a piece of cake from the coffee table beside her and handed it to Xu Haoting.
"Do you dare to eat it?"
