The rear garden of the general’s fu was truly a breathtaking sight. This season wasn’t known for an abundance of flowers, and chrysanthemums wouldn’t bloom for some time yet. However, the prefect’s furen had still managed to bring in plenty of fresh flowers, filling the garden. Everywhere in the garden was picturesque. Being there felt […]
Behind the bushes, Gu Jiu’s expression remained calm. It turned out that the incident where the original host fell into the water last autumn had been orchestrated by Gu Yue. It seemed that Xu Yuanniang was also involved. The original host had always been frail. Falling into the cold pond in late autumn led to […]
“Come with me to see liu shaoye.” Gu Jiu hesitated for only a moment before making her decision. Since she was already involved in this matter, she would not allow things to spiral out of control. At this point, everything was still salvageable. Regardless of how much conflict Gu Jiu had with Xie shi, before […]
Stepping out of the courtyard, when she saw that no one was around, Pei Yun let out a quiet sigh of relief. She had thought that today would be a disaster, but to her surprise, she had escaped unharmed. She looked at Gu Jiu. Gu guniang hadn’t fully matured, but it was clear that she […]
Gu Jiu stepped forward and helped Gu Zhen up by holding her arm. “Da jiejie, let me help you up.” Gu Zhen felt like she had become a clown and had lost all face. Hearing Gu Jiu’s voice, Gu Zhen raised her head and suddenly threw herself into Gu Jiu’s arms, crying uncontrollably. “Er meimei, […]
“San meimei, si meimei, Xu da guniang, what brings you here?” Gu Jiu took the initiative to step forward and held Gu Yue’s hand. Gu Yue was caught off guard, feeling uncomfortable and even repulsed. She wanted to shake off Gu Jiu’s hand, but to her surprise, Gu Jiu held on tightly, and she couldn’t […]
Hearing the commotion on the shore, Liu Zhao said, “It seems the argument is over.” “Is it already over?” Gu Jiu stretched her neck and looked toward the shore. “I must leave immediately.” “Where are you going? I’ll take you there.” Gu Jiu’s brows twitched. She was genuinely annoyed by Liu Zhao. “Thank you for […]
Xie shi was still standing by the shore. The prefect’s furen, Cai shi, walked toward her. “Meimei, please don’t worry too much about this matter. Your family’s er guniang is blessed and will surely be fine.” Xie shi nodded. “I’ll take jiejie’s kind words to heart. Today, the children in my family have made a […]
Gu Jiu, supported by Qing Mei, got onto the ox cart and set off from the general’s fu. For the Gu family, this banquet had been nothing short of a disaster. Xie shi boarded the carriage with a dark expression, clenching her fists so tightly that her long nails had pierced her palms, though she […]
A commotion broke out, and Xie shi was carried away. The situation looked quite serious. Gu daren also left. Gu Ting was called away as well. Gu Yue remained standing in place, looking as if she hadn’t yet processed what had happened. Gu Shan, worried about Gu Yue, stayed by her side. Gu Jiu, on […]
Gu Jiu caught a cold. She had overestimated her constitution. She thought that since it was summer, the pond water would be warm, and she would be fine. But just a few hours later, by nightfall, she began feeling dizzy and weak all over, with a runny nose. Gu Jiu wiped her nose, feeling miserable. […]
In the past few days, the inner courtyard of the governor’s residence had been as quiet as a grave. Since Xie shi was pregnant, no one dared to provoke her or stir up trouble at such a time. Even the usually rowdy Gu Yue had quieted down, as she was being punished with confinement for […]
Gu Jiu, accompanied by Qing Mei, arrived at the outer courtyard study. Gu Quan came out to greet them. “Er guniang is here. Laoye is already waiting inside. Please go in directly.” Gu Jiu looked up at Gu Quan. “Steward, how has Father been lately? Is he busy with his work at the yamen?” Gu […]
Gu Quan walked into the study from outside. “Laoye?” Gu daren furrowed his brows tightly, appearing troubled. “Has Xiao Jiu left?” Gu Quan nodded. “Er guniang went straight back to the inner courtyard.” Gu daren sighed, then chuckled. “Tell me, how did Xiao Jiu grow up to be this clever all of a sudden? She […]
Early in the morning, Jiang Yan had already packed her belongings. All of her possessions fit into a single bundle. Qing Mei knocked on the door and entered. Seeing the bundle on the table, she asked, “All packed?” Jiang Yan nodded. Qing Mei said, “The things you instructed have already been sent back to your […]
Gu Jiu picked up her teacup, quietly putting some distance between herself and Liu Zhao. Liu Zhao said, “Gu guniang must take care of yourself.” “Thank you, Liu gongzi, for your concern.” With that, Gu Jiu turned her gaze toward the window. The rice shop was in chaos—there were cries, shouts, and some tried to […]
Gu daren entered the main room with a dark expression, striding forward with heavy steps. He didn’t even glance at Gu Jiu and the others, nor did he pay attention to Bai yiniang, who was kneeling in the corner. Instead, he walked straight toward the bedroom. Ping mama stood at the doorway and blocked his […]
News in the governor’s fu always spreads quickly. That very night, Gu Jiu learned of the latest developments from Xiao Cui. Gu daren had already spoken—Xie shi would continue to manage the fu and oversee its affairs. Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled. Back when Xie shi was pregnant, everyone in the residence remained […]
Wang Erya was an eighteen-year-old girl from a small mountain village thirty miles outside of Jinzhou City. She couldn’t go on any longer. She might as well die and be done with it. She hadn’t eaten in two days. With an empty stomach, she walked out of the village, looking for a place to end […]
Gu Jiu rushed to the outer courtyard in a hurry. As soon as she stepped inside the gate, she heard Gu Ting wailing like a pig being slaughtered. Her heart clenched—her brother was screaming so miserably. How serious was his injury? Without hesitation, she rushed straight into the room. “Gege!” “Meimei is here.” Gu Ting […]
