Qin Yuan noticed it and smiled, instructing Mo Zhu to pour tea for the Marquis, then asked Marquis Gu if he wanted to dine together later.
With gentle and soft words, the defiant and stern demeanor of Marquis Gu gradually softened.
Gu Baoshu secretly pouted in her heart but dared not show a trace on her face.
As Marquis Gu sat down, he turned his head to look at Gu Baoshu. Before he could speak, Gu Baoshu quickly stood up, saying, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, I have some matters to attend to with Mother, so I won't stay long. If Third Sister-in-law has anything to ask, just send someone to call me."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but find it amusing, saying, "Alright, sorry to trouble you, Sister."
She personally escorted her to the corridor before returning.
Marquis Gu puzzledly asked, "What's the matter now? I'm not a tiger; why does she hide whenever she sees me?"
Qin Yuan laughed, "A tiger won't force her to pick up an embroidery needle; that's why she hides from you."
