Qin Yuan watched all this, smiling as she instructed Mo Zhu to pour tea for the Marquis, then asked Marquis Gu if he would like to dine together later.
With her gentle words, Marquis Gu's wild and cold demeanor gradually softened.
Gu Baoshu secretly curled her lip in her heart, not daring to let it show on her face.
As soon as Marquis Gu was seated, he turned his head to look at Gu Baoshu, but before he could speak, Gu Baoshu suddenly stood up and said, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, I still have matters to seek Mother about, so I won't stay longer. If Third Sister-in-law has any questions, just send for me."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but be amused, saying, "Very well, thank you, Sister."
She personally escorted her to the corridor, then returned inside.
Marquis Gu asked in confusion, "What's the matter this time? I'm not a tiger—why does she hide whenever she sees me?"
