Although the summer sun was vicious, it was indescribably gentle and charming in the morning. When the carriage from the House of Red Sleeves arrived at the door, Chen He arranged for her to stay next to Gu Ci's room. Gu Ci was sometimes bored in the courtyard. When she heard that Xiang Xue was coming, she grabbed Chen He and begged. "Big Brother, you must arrange for her to stay next door to me.”
"What do you want?"
"You're a man, what can I say to you?”Gu Ci said. "Girls always have some boudoir talk. Do you want to listen to it too?”
"If you're willing to tell me, I don't mind listening.”Chen He said, but Gu Ci blushed. Gu Ci didn't feel anything even when Li Rui said this. Gu Ci thought of Li Rui. She said that she didn't want to, but she still remembered about him in a certain segment.
Xiang Xue stayed in the house next to Gu Ci. Gu Ci would occasionally hear the sound of zither playing and singing beside her. Her voice was gentle and delicate. She climbed up to the roof and sat on it to look at the people in the courtyard. There was a girl from the Chen family beside her. Most of the time, Xiang Xue was playing the zither while the girl listened by her side.
The sound of the piano was always full of bitterness. It was the first time she sat on the roof and watched her play. She stood up excitedly. It had just rained that night, and the roof was wet and slippery. She slipped and fell. She was lucky. She thought that if she went down, she would not break her bones or fall and could not get up.
Gu Ci was caught by someone when she fell. Then, she was put down mercilessly, and a voice sounded above her head to teach her a lesson. "I told you that some girls look like that. You won't know why they fall to their deaths next time.”
Gu Ci patted her skirt and glanced at Chen He before walking towards Xiang Xue. She stretched out her hands and said. "Hello, my name is Gu Ci. I'm a spirit exorcist invited by the Chen family."
Xiang Xue smiled shyly. Her face was like peach blossoms dyed snow as she lowered her head and whispered. "My name is Xiang Xue."
Gu Ci pointed at Chen He behind her. She turned around and saw that Chen He was still a few steps away, so she pulled him closer." This is the eldest young master of the Chen family, Chen He."”
Chen He nodded slightly. He inadvertently saw Xiang Xue's sharp chin, snow-white skin, and eyebrows that were like distant mountains. She had a good appearance and was wearing a blue-green dress. She was simple and elegant. Chen He stared blankly for a few seconds before he clasped his hands behind his back and said. "You can stay in the garden. I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first.”
Gu Ci nodded and followed Chen He into the house. Chen He took out the account book as usual. Gu Ci bent down and leaned her hands on the table. Her eyes were filled with a burning smile." Hey, Chen He, tell me, isn't Xiang Xue very beautiful?"”
Chen He nodded. "Yes, she's quite beautiful."
Gu Ci asked again. "Did you peek at me for a long time just now?”
Chen He's face instantly turned red as he said calmly. "I just looked at him. Could it be that I have bad intentions?”
"I didn't say that. You said it yourself.”Gu Ci said and grabbed the account book. "Chen He, let me tell you. Although Xiang Xue is beautiful and comes from a prostitute's background, she is definitely a good person. If you like her, go and chase after her. Otherwise, there won't be such a shop after this village.”
"Gu Ci, my Chen family will never let her in. Even if she does, she can only be a concubine.”Chen He said. "Besides, my father arranged a marriage for me a long time ago.”
This time, Gu Ci was left tongue-tied on the spot. She did not expect Chen He to say this.
She went back to her room and prepared to sleep. After she fell asleep, she somehow returned home. The sky was already dark. She thought it was her illusion, but when she opened the door, it was really her room. Li Rui was sitting at the door, and there were many wine bottles at his feet. Liu Mingming was taking care of him. He grabbed the bottle from Li Rui's hand and helped Li Rui back into the house. Gu Ci suddenly realized that this was just her dream. When she returned to the modern world, she saw Li Rui and Liu Mingming. She thought that perhaps it was right for her to leave. At least Li Rui would forget about her after he was injured and accept Liu Mingming.
Gu Ci woke up in the middle of the night with tears streaming down her face. When she woke up the next day, her eyes were also red and swollen. Wan Cui went to find some rouge to cover her eyes before she could reluctantly go out to meet people. Coincidentally, the Chen family was celebrating the seventh aunt's unborn child. When Gu Ci went out, she was not ridiculed by Chen He. She pointed at her eyes and smiled.
