Just as she finished speaking, the door was opened and she saw Yu Chen enter.
With this, Gu Ruoyun did not need to answer.
Seeing Yu Chen meant that she would know the answer.
Yu Chen bowed to the two of them, “Your Highness, Princess Consort.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded and said, “One serving of drunken deity duck first.”
Yu Chen nodded.
Su Yan quickly replied, “Two, serve us two.”
Gu Ruoyun lowered his head to look at her, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Could she possibly eat that much?
Su Yan added, “Pack the other one.”
Gu Ruoyun’s gaze turned dangerous, “Who are you going to pack it for?”
Su Yan felt that if she told him, Gu Ruoyun might be angry. However, if she did not tell him, he would be angry as well.
Su Yan was prepared to compromise, and she only said vaguely, “I’m bringing it back to the Imperial Residence.”
Gu Ruoyun continued her unfinished words, “Bring it back to the Imperial Residence for Gu An?”
Su Yan paused and lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Ruoyun’s eyes.
She waited for a while and when she saw that there was no movement from the other party, she raised her head to take a look.
She was shocked by Gu Ruoyun’s dark eyes.
She said weakly, “I just felt that he would be very bored since he stayed in the courtyard every day. He hasn’t eaten any of the delicious food.”
Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. Under the attack of Gu Ruoyun’s gaze, she corrected herself, “If you don’t like it, I won’t bring it back then.”
Gu Ruoyun almost laughed out of anger. The way she put it made it seem like it was his fault.
“Yan’er, would you be angry if I brought something for a woman?”
Su Yan was stunned by the question.
She furrowed her brows and looked at Gu Ruoyun without saying a word.
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes gradually turned cold.
If Su Yan was not angry, it meant that she did not love him. This realization made Gu Ruoyun’s heart turn cold.
“If you dare to give something to another woman, then you don’t have to return to the Imperial Residence.”
These words made Gu Ruoyun’s heart, which was so cold that it could drop ice dregs, instantly revive.
He looked at the unhappy Su Yan and laughed happily.
“I’m just giving you an example. Why are you so angry? Shouldn’t I be angry at you for bringing something for Gu An?”
Su Yan subconsciously retorted, “This is different…”
However, when she remembered that Gu Ruoyun did not know that Gu An was a woman, she felt that she had let Gu Ruoyun down.
Su Yan slowly moved to Gu Ruoyun’s side and took the initiative to hug him for the first time, “Gu Ruoyun, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
Gu Ruoyun pulled Su Yan into his arms and replied softly, “Ok.”
On the other side, Su Qiao had just returned to the Gu Family when the people from the Treasure Pavilion arrived.
Su Qiao had yet to figure out how to tell Gu Lingyu about the matter.
Lady Gu took the receipt from the Treasure Pavilion and barged into their room.
“Su Qiao, this is the good thing that you’ve gone out to do. Huh!”
Gu Lingyu was annoyed by his mother’s loud voice and said, “Mom, what’s wrong now? Don’t always find trouble with Su Qiao.”
Lady Gu was even angrier. “Do you mean that I deliberately find trouble with her every day!”
Gu Lingyu knew that he had said the wrong thing and explained, “Mom, that’s not what I meant. Qiao Qiao is usually gentle at home and knows how to act in situations. She has already done very well.”
Lady Gu sneered and reached out to pull Su Qiao who was hiding behind Gu Lingyu.
Su Qiao saw that Lady Gu had rushed over so impatiently, so she knew that things were bad.
She complained in her heart that the Treasure Pavilion had come too quickly, she was not prepared at all.
Gu Lingyu still wanted to stop her, but Lady Gu threw the piece of paper on his face.
He took it down and looked at it. His expression froze, and he looked at Su Qiao in disbelief.
Su Qiao quickly explained, “Lingyu, today, I had no choice but to do it for the sake of the face of our Gu Family.”
Gu Lingyu was so angry that his face turned red. “What face would cost 3,000 taels of silver?”
Lady Gu watched the show from the side.
Su Qiao continued to cry and complain.
Gu Lingyu calmed down and asked, “3,000 taels of silver? What did you buy?”
