Opening a restaurant, itâs true that even good wine fears a deep alley.
Yang Ruxin was at a loss.
"Take your time to search, donât rush, Beijing is huge." Gu Qingheng couldnât offer much help and could only comfort her.
"General, madam, someone outside has delivered this." Just at that moment, Butler Qian came over holding a box.
Gu Qingheng took it and was surprised to find it was a deed to a property, a three-story building with a courtyard in the south of the city.
"Who would be so generous?" Yang Ruxin was astonished.
"Thereâs a note here." Gu Qingheng took out a note from the box and handed it to Yang Ruxin after glancing at it, "Itâs from Princess Xuan."
"She..." Yang Ruxin was even more puzzled. She hadnât had any dealings with Prince Xuan, not even during her last visit to the palace, now suddenly receiving such a big gift, she didnât dare accept it.
"I think itâs related to the chili and peppercorn business." Gu Qingheng suddenly chuckled, "I believe you should just accept it with peace of mind. Itâs their way of expressing gratitude, after all... the chili and peppercorn business, once it takes off, can earn more than enough for numerous shops..."
"But..."
"If youâre really worried, you can ask Prince Eight."
Yang Ruxin hugged the box and was about to head out.
"Itâs getting late, itâll be dinner time soon, talk about it tomorrow." Gu Qingheng quickly pulled Yang Ruxin back, "Besides, the rain just stopped, the roads arenât easy to walk on."
Yang Ruxin had to nod, indeed she was being a bit hasty.
"Xinxin, should you have a bath?" After dinner, Gu Qingheng looked at Yang Ruxin with bright eyes.
Yang Ruxin lazily leaned on the chair and nodded, "Yes, I havenât properly bathed these past days, definitely need a good soak today..."
"Iâll go heat the water for you." Gu Qingheng turned and ran off.
Yang Ruxin frowned, whatâs with him today? So diligent? These things, the maids can handle, but he was out of sight, couldnât call him back, so just let him be.
Soon enough, Gu Qingheng returned, "Xinxin, hot water is ready, go ahead."
Yang Ruxin blinked, but didnât think much more of it, as he used to prepare everything for her before, she just found todayâs behavior a bit strange.
When a woman has her "visitor," she canât soak in a bath, and thereâs no shower here, so these past days she had just been wiping down her body. Now, truly soaking in the bath barrel, it was really comfortable!
"Xinxin, donât fall asleep, youâll catch a cold." Gu Qingheng walked in holding a large towel.
"Why did you come in?" Yang Ruxin yelped, the two had done some things before, but it was always in bed, never like this, so she was a bit shy.
"If I hadnât come in, youâd have fallen asleep." Gu Qingheng spoke earnestly, "Hurry and get up, youâve been soaking for two-quarters of an hour."
"Then you go out..."
"Iâll close my eyes and wonât peek." Gu Qingheng said, spreading the towel and then closing his eyes.
Yang Ruxinâs lips twitched. If she still didnât understand his intentions now, she would be a fool. No wonder he was so attentive today, this guy really... Her face turned red instantly.
After waiting for a long time with no sign of her coming out, Gu Qingheng had to open his eyes, only to see his little wife clinging to the wooden tub, watching him, her face flushed, making one want to go over and bite it: "Xinxin..." his voice was already raspy.
