Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Yao smiled and asked Zhen Zhu to come over. She instructed her in a low voice, “Go and find Zhi’er, who is by Concubine Xia’s side. Tell her to tell Concubine Xia about Master and Gu Yundong being alone in the plum garden.” “Young Madam, you’re killing three birds with one stone.” Nanny Qian smiled until the wrinkles on her face moved.
Madam Yao took a handkerchief and laughed softly. “Let’s go to the kitchen and prepare a feast to entertain the esteemed guest according to Master’s instructions!”
“Yes.”
The master and servant walked further and further away.
As for Gu Yundong, she walked out of the forest just as Madam Yao and Peng Zhongfei’s conversation ended.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. There was no sign of Madam Yao outside. There was only Peng Zhongfei, whose eyes lit up when he saw her.
Gu Yundong secretly held his forehead. “Where’s your wife?”
“Oh, I sent her to the kitchen to arrange the dishes. I have something to discuss with you. She’s a hindrance.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. Damn, this person’s EQmust be negative.
No wonder Madam Yao looked at him as if he was an enemy. It was simply because this person had it coming.
He was shameless, but she still wanted her reputation.
It was one thing to have a scandal with others, but with Peng Zhongfei? No, she didn’t want to. He had no looks and no character.
Gu Yundong turned around and left, completely ignoring him.
However, Peng Zhongfei really had something on and followed behind her. “Don’t leave. I want to talk to you about the workshop.”
Gu Yundong stopped in her tracks. Forget it. If she wanted to go out directly, she did not know which way to go. There were people coming and going outside the plum garden. There would be more rumors when they saw them.
Madam Yao had already let them be alone. They had probably already decided in their hearts.
She simply walked to the pavilion and sat down. Peng Zhongfei immediately sat opposite her.
“I didn’t have a chance to talk properly in your shop last time. There’s a question I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. When did you become so familiar with Liu Wei? Didn’t you just meet for the first time in my residence last time?”
Gu Yundong suddenly sat up straight. Was he… suspecting what had happened last time?
She looked up at Peng Zhongfei and met his sincere gaze. Then, she confirmed that… he was just really curious.
Gu Yundong coughed lightly and said, “Didn’t Liu Wei find someone to bring him into the mountains to hunt some time ago? The person he found happened to be my neighbor. After a while, we became familiar with each other.”
Peng Zhongfei nodded. This topic was over.
“But did you really not collaborate with the Liu family in your sugar business?”
“No.”
Peng Zhongfei leaned forward. “Then how about we cooperate?”
Gu Yundong gave him a strange look. The Peng family should know who was taking the bulk of the sugar benefits now, right? How dare he say that?
However, Peng Zhongfei was different from what she thought. “I heard that your workshop hasn’t been built yet?”
Gu Yundong was about to nod when she saw a figure walking over from the corner of her eye.
She looked up and saw Gu Xian’er carrying two cups of tea over.
Peng Zhongfei also saw it and was instantly dissatisfied. “Didn’t I tell you all to go down?”
Gu Xian’er lowered her head obediently. “Young Madam instructed this servant to serve Young Master and the esteemed guest well. This servant, this servant is just here to serve tea.”
Peng Zhongfei was a little thirsty, so he nodded.
Gu Yundong saw that the colors of the two cups of tea were different. She thought for a moment and asked, “What tea is this?”
“This is Qihong. Young Master’s is Pu’er tea.”
Gu Yundong swapped the two cups of tea. “I’ve never had Pu’er before.. Young Master Peng, do you mind exchanging with me?”
