Chapter 18 The young couple had a quarrel
Wei Dongning held the sword, resting it on Gu Peiyan's shoulder, the blade still pressed against his neck: "You just said I was so cheap."
The blade is sharp; if you apply even a fraction more force, it will surely leave a mark on his neck.
Wei Dongning sighed, realizing that she was still too kind; at most, she threatened him, but never intended to really hurt him.
Gu Peiyan reached out and brushed away the threat from her neck, explaining, "I meant it's a good sword, not that I was insulting you."
Wei Dongning sheathed her sword, lowered her head and continued wiping it, her eyes practically rolling to the sky.
She's a top student.
They don't even know to add quantifiers when they speak.
I don't know how I passed the exam.
This scientific expedition is definitely flawed.
I wonder if the water I squeeze out will be enough to fill the moat.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Looking at Wei Dongning's face scrunched up like a bun, Gu Peiyan thought her expression at that moment was absolutely adorable.
With a slight smile, he said, "I will be taking up my post at the Censorate in three days."
"Oh."
Wei Dongning didn't even spare him a glance.
Going to work is great.
When he went to work, no one came to upset her anymore.
“I might not have much time to spend at home with you after I take office. If there’s anywhere you’d like to go these next few days, I can take you there.”
"No."
This statement was definitely not Wei Dongning being sarcastic.
Although she inherited the original owner's memories, the original owner, like her, loved food.
If you ask her what good food there is in Beijing, she can tell you in detail.
As for what fun places there are in the capital, she didn't really know much.
Gu Peiyan thought she was still angry and sighed.
The little girl is quite young, but she has quite a temper.
Like a docile cat suddenly bristling and baring its teeth.
In other words, it may look intimidating, but it has no real danger.
"The plum blossoms in the backyard of Guangning Temple are blooming beautifully lately. Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to admire them?"
Wei Dongning recalled her impression of Guangning Temple, and it seemed that the vegetarian food there was quite delicious.
In order to be able to eat that vegetarian meal, she nodded in agreement.
However, she emphasized again: "Let me make this clear first, my agreeing to go out with you doesn't mean I've forgiven you. It's simply because I'm beautiful inside and out."
She swears it's definitely not because she's greedy!
So are you still angry?
When did I say I was angry?
Gu Peiyan sat down next to Wei Dongning and took the sword from her hand: "It's already brighter than a bronze mirror, don't polish it anymore."
With her belongings taken from her, Wei Dongning began looking around, trying to find something else to pass the time.
To be honest, she's really bored right now.
Gu Peiyan watched her eyes darting around and suddenly felt a little guilty towards her.
He could guess that she wanted to find something fun.
But the Gu family didn't have any such things at all.
My home is mostly filled with books of all kinds.
He's been like this since he was a child.
"Miss, son-in-law."
Xiao Fu pushed open the door and came in, followed by the Gu family's steward and accountant.
"Young Master, Young Madam, these are our household account books. Master instructed me to entrust them to Young Madam for management. There are other matters as well, which will be delivered gradually over the next couple of days." Butler Chen placed the account books he was carrying in front of them.
Then stand with the accountant.
Wei Dongning casually flipped through two pages; strings of numbers looked like jumping symbols, making her dizzy.
She tugged at Gu Peiyan's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Isn't this too much?"
The accountant chimed in at the opportune moment, "Young Madam, these things are usually handled by our accounting department. You don't need to check them every day."
"That's fine, that's fine."
With their mission accomplished, Steward Chen and the accountant retired successfully.
Wei Dongning propped her chin up, flipped through the ledger for a couple of pages, and then quickly closed it again.
When people are pushed to the limit, they can do anything.
Besides mathematics.
Mathematics, if you say it's no good, then it's no good.
Although checking the ledgers is not as difficult as a math exam.
But that long string of numbers was enough to give her a headache.
You should know that she once achieved a score of 36 in mathematics in her previous life.
The maximum score is 150 points.
"Gu Peiyan, do I really have to do all these things?"
Gu Peiyan felt annoyed every time he heard her call him by his full name.
Every time she chatted with the Second Prince, they addressed each other so intimately, always calling each other "Brother" or "Nao Nao".
Why is it that when it comes to him, it's just the unfamiliar and cold name "Gu Peiyan"?
It sounds really harsh.
Why don't you call me husband?
Is now the time to agonize over how to address someone?
Wei Dongning found him inexplicable.
She was discussing the accounts with him, and he was using some kind of title for no reason?
Anyway, they're all calling him.
However, seeing his insistence, Wei Dongning finally gave in: "Husband, can you answer my question now?"
Gu Peiyan suppressed her racing heartbeat, took the ledger from her hand and placed it on the table: "This is all the work that the head of the household must do. As the only lady of the Gu family, it's all my fault."
Xiao Fu stood to the side, listening to their conversation while covering her mouth and chuckling.
The son-in-law probably didn't even realize that he had been completely controlled by the young lady.
They are willing to patiently explain even these small issues.
Wei Dongning stretched out a hand towards her: "Xiao Fu, help! Your young lady has turned into a donkey in the production team..."
Little Fu opened his round eyes, indicating: I don't understand.
She knew what a donkey was, but what was a production team?
Meeting Xiao Fu's bewildered eyes, Wei Dongning waved her hand: "Never mind, you go ahead and do your thing, I want to be alone."
Then she buried her face in her hands and wailed.
Gu Peiyan walked to the door and beckoned to Xiao Fu inside: "Come here."
"Young master, what do you need me for?"
"Go to the street and buy some little things that your young lady likes, so she won't be bored."
Xiao Fu smiled knowingly: "Yes, son-in-law."
When Qianrong saw Xiaofu come out, her gloomy face was no longer there when she went in. Curious, she followed her and asked, "Sister Xiaofu, have the young master and young mistress made up?"
Xiao Fu thought for a moment and nodded: "I guess so."
At least the atmosphere she experienced after going in was relatively relaxed.
"That's great. I get scared watching the two young masters argue."
"You've been by your young master's side for so many years, and you still aren't used to his temper?"
Qian Rong shook his head: "You don't know, the young master usually just looks expressionless, but he's not fierce at all."
To put it bluntly, it's facial paralysis.
"However, since the young mistress entered the room, the young master's expressions have become much more varied than before."
Qianrong added.
At least, I laugh much more often than before.
“No one could dislike my young lady,” Xiao Fu said confidently.
Her daughter is the cutest little sun.
She vowed to follow her mistress to the death.
After wailing enough, Wei Dongning stood up and stared straight at Gu Peiyan: "We're husband and wife, right?"
Gu Peiyan couldn't understand what she was trying to do, and subconsciously replied, "Of course, we've already had our wedding ceremony, so you're my wife."
"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say." Wei Dongning smiled slyly, like a little fox.
