Gu Jinghui was startled by his own thoughts and dared not look at Qin Yuan any longer. He hastily finished his meal, stood up in a hurry before she could speak, and said, "I am going to the outer courtyard to find Mr. Songshan to tell a story."
Qin Yuan replied, "Alright, take care, husband."
Gu Jinghui then lifted the curtain himself and strode out.
Cui Ming and Hong Ye came in. Hong Ye asked, "Miss, what's going on with the Marquis? He looks like he's sitting on a hotplate."
Qin Yuan glanced at her, shook her head, and said nothing.
Cui Ming said, "You always know the news. Haven't you heard anything?"
Hong Ye thought for a moment and said, "I did hear something, but they say the Marquis now..." Before she could finish, a young maid outside said that Mr. and Mrs. Qian had come to express their gratitude with Bai Que.
