Chapter 595 Sister is right
"Go back and rest?"
Gu Zhaoxi smiled and raised her hand to gather the shawl on her shoulders: "If someone asks you to do something, just follow the rules."
After all, it was unclear what disobeying orders would look like in this house.
Their identities are not all young masters or young ladies, so we still need to be careful.
When he said he was going back to rest, Gu Chaoxi really went back to rest and definitely did not do any more work.
When I returned to my own courtyard from the reception room, the maid was cleaning.
To be honest, she didn't know how there could be so much cleaning to do in such a small yard.
Sitting on a chair in the living room, he poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the maid who was working, and waved at her.
"come here."
"Second Miss, what's wrong?" The maid came over quickly.
She thought for a moment, then smiled: "Go call my brother and tell him I have something to ask him."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The maid bent down and went outside.
She sat on the chair with her legs crossed, looking at the palm-sized yard in front of her, waiting quietly.
After about ten minutes, the sound of footsteps outside gradually approached, and they were the voices of two people.
Gu Chaoxi put his legs down, took a small sip from the teacup, and looked towards the door.
A young man in a long gown came in from the door, and when he saw her looking at him, he took a few quick steps forward.
"Sister, are you looking for me?"
Oh, that’s such a sweet sound.
This time she didn't know what to say.
Glancing at the little maid standing at the door, Gu Chaoxi waved her hand and said, "Go clean the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard."
The little maid nodded and walked towards the door.
"Please sit down." Since I don't know the fourth young master's name, this is the only way I can speak.
The fourth young master sat down at the table. Gu Chaoxi leaned over, poured him a glass of water, and looked at him slowly.
I didn't realize this guy was so good at playing around.
"I went to see my mother today, and she told me that you haven't made any progress recently."
The Fourth Young Master seemed to already know what she was going to say. He smiled and picked up the cup.
"Sister, are you going to ask my mother to educate me?"
Gu Zhaoxi shook his head: "Of course not."
"You are not young anymore, it is time to think about marriage, right? Do you have a girl you like?"
The fourth young master's face changed and he put down the cup in his hand: "Sister, why are you suddenly worried about this?"
"My mother always hopes that we can get married, but I don't have a man I like, so I have to ask you."
"Besides, mother is always worried about you. If you get married, maybe mother will think you are more stable."
What she said made sense. The Fourth Young Master had no way to refute it for a moment and could only look at Gu Chaoxi.
After a while, seeing that she really had no other intentions, he slowly spoke.
"My father is still ill, and I really haven't been in the mood to think about this lately."
Using Ji Ze as an excuse is not a bad idea.
She lowered her head and stroked her sleeves, then smiled softly, "That's true."
However, the relationship is superficial, and if it is really brought up, Ji Ze is not a good shield.
Neither of them spoke and drank tea quietly for a while.
The fourth young master turned his head and stared at Gu Zhaoxi for a while, then jokingly said, "Sister, the third concubine has been saying that our house is haunted recently. What do you think?"
Just asking it so blatantly?
Gu Chaoxi smiled and tilted his head, staring at the Fourth Young Master without saying anything for a while.
There was always a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be looking forward to Gu Chaoxi's answer.
The kinship in this house is shallow, and it stands to reason that she has shown a little too much concern for this brother today.
Are you suddenly testing her with this?
After a while, she finally smiled with the corners of her lips curled up: "Some things are better to believe than not to believe, what do you think?"
"Sister is right." The fourth young master nodded.
Gu Chaoxi continued, "Besides, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Why not ask the third concubine if she did something shameful that caused her to see ghosts at night, huh?"
The smile in her eyes was not genuine, and it looked more like she was testing the Fourth Young Master.
The other party stopped smiling and nodded at him.
"Sister is right. We haven't done anything wrong. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"I still have some schoolwork to do, so I'll leave first."
As he said this, he stood up.
Gu Chaoxi didn't stop him, but just watched him walk outside. After he stepped out of the room, he added another sentence.
"Don't forget what my sister just said. If you have a girl you like, arrange the marriage as soon as possible."
The fourth young master did not answer or nod, but just walked out quickly.
Except for the corner where the yard gate turned, it couldn't be seen anymore.
The maid who was cleaning outside saw the Fourth Young Master leave, and immediately came in from the courtyard gate with a broom, and walked straight towards Gu Chaoxi.
"Second Miss, what did you say to the Fourth Young Master? He didn't look very well when he left."
His face looks bad already. It seems he is still too young and can only hold back his emotions for a while.
If he really had a strong love for the Fourth Concubine, he would probably be thinking about whether Ji Ze would die sooner so that he could run away with the Fourth Concubine.
As long as Ji Ze is alive, he has power.
He has power and many people obey his orders. If the Fourth Young Master dares to act recklessly, Ji Ze may kill him for the sake of justice.
Looking back, I didn’t even have time to elope with my friends, and I didn’t know where I would die.
"It's just to let him get married sooner."
After she finished speaking, the little maid nodded.
Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes, smiled, and drank tea.
Turning his head, he saw the cup that the fourth young master had just drunk tea from, and snorted coldly: "Take that cup and wash it."
In the corner of every yard, there is a pool for washing daily items.
The maid nodded and went back to the yard with the cup.
Pei Yan was actually just wandering around the house without any particular purpose, and he happened to run into the Fifth Miss who was about to go back to the yard.
Speaking of the Fifth Miss, she is probably the child with the lowest presence in the General's Mansion.
I heard that she was always in poor health. She wouldn't come out of the room when the wind was strong and was always taking medicine.
When the Fifth Miss approached, Pei Yan could clearly smell a scent of medicine from her body.
The taste accumulated over the years.
"Third brother, good afternoon." The fifth lady bowed slightly to Pei Yan with a little smile on her face, but it couldn't hide her unsatisfactory complexion.
Pei Yan raised his hand and waved: "No need to be so polite, what is Fifth Sister doing?"
The girl nodded, clasped her hands in front of her, looking weak.
"I just went to my mother's yard to check on her. She has been absent-minded recently. I am a little worried."
The first person who said that the house was haunted was the fifth lady’s mother, the third concubine.
