Chapter 500

Qin Jiu moved into a more comfortable position on his lap and added, “Will we depart after the New Year?”

Seeing the clear look on her face, Gu Zezhi’s eyes swirled with laughter, her face reflected in his pupils, “There’s one more thing that needs to be settled first, and then we’ll depart.”

“Then I’ll ask Du Ruo to start packing the luggage early, so as not to be in a hurry.” Qin Jiu did not hesitate at all and happily agreed, “By the way.”

She said, propping her upper body up slightly with her elbow, “How many days do you have off during the Chinese New Year?”

Gu Zezhi said, “Seven days.”

Qin Jiu stroked his palm and said, “That’s just right. I have a hot spring property, how about we go there and stay for a while?”

This hot-spring villa was bought by her at a low price from Qin Zhun and finally used as a dowry for her. Now that the weather was cold, it was a good time to visit and perfect for soaking in a hot spring.

“Listen to you.” Gu Zezhi looked carefree again, and the smile on his lips became charming.

Qin Jiu’s ear felt inexplicably hot as if she had thought of something she should not have thought of.

She was trying to say something, but felt that everything she would say was like trying to cover up the truth.

Forget it, she does not know anything.

As she closed her eyes, she felt there was something amiss when she suddenly heard someone’s low chuckle in her ear. Then she felt a soft and burning sensation coming from her lips, and someone’s tongue pried open her mouth…

The sound of the hooves and wheels outweighed the subtle moans and rustling of clothes.

As dusk approaches, the sky gradually darkens.

The emperor only gave Gu Zezhi three days of wedding leave, and the following day, on the 14th of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Zezhi returned to work.

Qin Jiu was not idle either. She was pitifully holding the corner of Madam Xiao’s clothes, who was planning to return to the Xiao Mansion, saying that she had to manage such a large mansion by herself without anyone to support her looking.

Her pitiful appearance caused Madame Xiao to feel heartbroken, and when she thought about her background, she felt that it was not easy for this child.

Madam Xiao stayed behind and taught her how to manage the household, check the accounts and she also taught her how to manage all the properties of the County King’s mansion.

Gu Zezhi had just been granted a title but had not been separated from Duan Wangye so his properties were still not that much. After careful calculation, Qin Jiu found that the wealth of the county king was not as high as that of her dowry.

The golden thigh was so poor! Qin Jiu hugged the account book and nestled on the couch, snickering happily.

When Gu Zezhi returned, he saw the little girl with a flower-like smile on her face.

As soon as he entered the small study room, Du Ruo and a few maids tactfully retreated to avoid being fed with eye stye.

Gu Zezhi at this time, had already sat down next to the couch and took the account book in her hand before casually tossing it to the side. “It’s dark, be careful of damaging your eyes.”

Qin Jiu threw herself to him and lay on his broad back with her small chin resting on her shoulder, she then said with a smile. “I wasn’t reading that long, am I such a hard-working person?” She said this with confidence.

She was not like Golden Thigh, and had to work hard for her life.
