Peng Zhongfei happily got into the carriage with five catties of white sugar. He didn’t even care about Madam Yao’s expression.
Nanny Qian carefully helped her into the car and advised in a low voice, “Young Madam, don’t think too much. Young Master might just like this white sugar. He’ll naturally be happy if he can buy it.”
Madam Yao snorted and closed her eyes to rest after getting into the carriage.
She thought of Gu Yundong, a woman who was full of vitality, capable, and beautiful.
However, she wasn’t Master’s type. She hadn’t fully matured yet, and Master liked someone like Concubine Xia.
Yes, she was not Master’s type.
Madam Yao thought about it and heaved a sigh of relief. Peng Zhongfei’s voice sounded in her ear. “This candy is too little. I’ll ask the Gu family’s girl later if she can give us more.” No matter what, they had a little friendship, right? “She looks better than last time.”
Madam Yao suddenly opened her eyes. “Master, do you think Miss Gu is quite good-looking?”
“Yes,” Peng Zhongfei said without looking up.
He had only seen her three times. The first time, she was a country girl who was dressed in rustic clothes and had a shriveled body. The second time, in Jinxiu Restaurant, her expression was much better. She looked energetic, but she looked petty in front of a large group of glamorous young masters.
However, looking at her today, if one did not look at her young face, she would look like the wife of a rich family, except for her figure, which was still unattractive.
Indeed, it must be because someone was secretly protecting her. Otherwise, how could she have achieved so much in such a short period of time?
Madam Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Nanny Qian, who was beside her, quickly tugged at her.
“How did you know Manager Gu?” Madam Yao secretly took a deep breath and asked softly.
“Her family…” Peng Zhongfei suddenly stopped talking. He couldn’t say it. That matter couldn’t be leaked.
He finally raised his head and glanced at Madam Yao. “Why are you asking this?”
“I’m just curious. Shopkeeper Gu doesn’t look very old. I heard that she just came here as a refugee. Why does it seem like Master is very familiar with her? Last time, you even asked me to prepare a gift for her house-completion celebration. I was just thinking that now that Shopkeeper Gu has opened a shop in the county city, there will be more opportunities to visit her in the future.”
Peng Zhongfei waved his hand. “Indeed. In the future, take care of her business more and take care of her more. I gave them more money today. They should be happy, right?”
He was referring to the non-existent old man, but it sounded to Madam Yao that Peng Zhongfei was trying to please Gu Yundong.
Madam Yao could only laugh dryly and could not continue the conversation.
Master did not intend to talk about how he and Gu Yundong met. It seemed that there was more to this than met the eye.
Nanny Qian lowered her head at the side and became even more frightened when she heard Young Master’s words.
When they arrived at the Peng residence, Peng Zhongfei carried the bag of white sugar and left. Nanny Qian trembled as she helped Madam Yao back to the Ruyi Garden.
As soon as they entered the house, Madam Yao sneered. “You’re really capable.”
Nanny Qian knew who she was talking about. She lowered her head slightly and said, “Young Madam, perhaps that’s not what Young Master meant. That girl can’t meet Young Master’s requirements at all.”
“Doesn’t that mean that she’s capable?”
After Madam Yao walked around the house twice, she suddenly said to Nanny Qian, “Go and call that Gu Xian’er over.”
“Yes,” Nanny Qian quickly replied and left..
