Chapter 371: Like a dazzling bright moon!

His delight.

Mom nodded, leading the people away in a hurry.

It seemed she feared delaying Lu Yuan's happy time.

The wind swayed lightly, stirring Lu Yuan's hair.

It also stirred Qin Gu Niang's hair.

Qin Gu Niang wore very plain clothes; the clear breeze stirred the hem of her robe, making her appearance, apart from being lovely.

Even more gentle and graceful, like a dazzling bright moon.

Illuminating the whole room.

"Creak" the room door was closed by Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei rubbed her hands, happily standing behind Qin Gu Niang.

"Miss, look!"

"Mr. Lu Yuan indeed really came to see you."

"As soon as you have money, you come to find you!"

Qin Gu Niang, hearing this, blushed and scolded Xiao Wei not to be rude.

Then she lowered her head, preparing to pick up the zither.

But just as she moved, she saw a familiar finger come into view.

Yes, Lu Yuan beat Qin Gu Niang to it, crouched down, and picked up the zither lying on the ground.

Qin Gu Niang was somewhat surprised, but was still helped up by Lu Yuan.

"Look, Qin Gu Niang's zither is not bad."

Qin Gu Niang nodded: "Yes, it's the one Mom once used."

Qin Gu Niang spoke while gesturing for Lu Yuan to sit down.

Lu Yuan also didn't say much, immediately sitting down.

The tea in his hand was filled by Xiao Wei.

A relaxed atmosphere filled the room.

Lu Yuan contentedly picked up the tea, pretending to sip lightly.

Qin Gu Niang stepped forward and made a curtsy.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I'll go change clothes first; please wait a moment."

Lu Yuan, hearing this, nodded.

Anyway, he's trapped in the secret realm and can't leave; it's a good chance to see what this secret realm is up to.

But… as he passed by the window, he seemed to see the red moon over the camp?

Could it be his own illusion?

Lu Yuan's thoughts flew wildly.

He now somewhat suspects that this secret realm is related to that Qin Gu Niang.

And the person he is portraying is likely someone who has affection for Qin Gu Niang.

But why would the two of them leave?

Even, letting this Qin Gu Niang hold a grudge?

Lu Yuan doesn't understand, but it doesn't matter; he can see what exactly is wrong with this Qin Gu Niang.

At this moment, outside the room.

Seeing the crowd that Lu Yuan entered.

They looked at each other.

Some showed suspicion, some contempt, and some shock.

Yes, the person Lu Yuan portrays is indeed a notorious, powerless and influence-less person.

He doesn't even have a bit of cultivation.

Only his mouth is top-notch.

Not mentioning deceit, just his scholarly air makes him look like a proper person.

"I didn't expect that Qin Gu Niang would still meet Lu Yuan."

"Yeah, really didn't expect, Lu Yuan actually has money!"

"Exactly, exactly, was he pretending before? If he had money, why not take it out?"

"I think he doesn't want to give it to Qin Gu Niang! I really don't know how Qin Gu Niang fell for that person!"

"Enough, I'm about to die of annoyance."

"Are you dying of annoyance? You're just jealous!"

The crowd chattered in seven tongues.

The sounds were very complex.

One of them directly stood up, blocking the passing Mom.

"Mom! Is Lu Yuan really rich? Can you rest assured that Lu Yuan won't lay hands on Qin Gu Niang?"

Mom looked at the man blocking the way, her already alluring figure swaying slightly.

The scarf brushed over the man's cheek, although she is old.

But she still remains beautiful.

Like a gorgeous beauty.

"Sir, are you curious?"

"Of course, why don't you give an explanation, Mom?" the man said as he stepped forward and firmly grabbed Mom's waist.

Her waist was slender; although there was some anger in her beautiful eyes, she didn't erupt, but instead covered her mouth and gently pushed the man before her.

The man didn't move; instead, he stretched out his hand more happily, teasing the woman in his arms.

Don't be fooled by Mom's age; in fact, every frown and smile of hers is strictly controlled.

How to bewitch people until their souls are overturned, how to make the waist slender enough to be grasped in one hand—she has mastered these completely.

Even bedroom skills have been learned.

Only Qin Gu Niang is not like that.

There were once rumors that Qin Gu Niang was Mom's daughter.

It was Mom who gave birth to her daughter in an accident.

The specific circumstances are unknown.

After all, Mom never said anything, so even Qin Gu Niang's identity remains unknown.

Of course, there are also rumors that... Qin Gu Niang is a lady from a respectable family.

The illegitimate son of a certain spoiled young master.

She was originally raised as a miss of a wealthy family, but unfortunately, that spoiled young master found a new love and forgot his old affection.

Moreover, Qin Gu Niang's mother died in a war.

In the end, she became the top star of this place, deeply favored by Mom.

Of course... everyone prefers the former; you ask why.

The former seems more like the truth, after all it's gossip, and everyone loves fresh gossip.

Even for these people, the same principle applies.

Thus, the fact that Mom is Qin Gu Niang's real mother also spread.

"So, the reason Mom allows Qin Gu Niang to do as she pleases is because she is your child, right?"

"Are guests really this curious?"

Mom's smile was full, those two little dimples extremely lovely.

"That's only natural; if Mom could tell us, we would certainly be delighted."

"Oh? I say it's not."

The young master raised his eyebrows, his figure full of amusement.

"How could that be? Mom, don't joke—now that the matter has spread, how could it be false?"

Mom didn't mind.

Yes, whether it's true or not is no longer important.

People only believe what they want to believe.

Just like now.

The breeze gently swayed, stirring Mom's hair and raising ripples.

It also stirred the irritation in Mom's eyes.

Yes, she currently has no hope for the person before her.

If it weren't because he is the person in charge here, she would have already overturned the table.

After a round of teasing, Mom left for other reasons.

Only the laughter and chatter of the beautiful women and young masters remained.

Mom walked with composure, swaying her hand, her expression calm and unruffled.

Her expression was also extremely normal.

It seemed as if nothing would cause her any thought.

But... when she came to the rear of this building.

The building is a large structure; the area around it has been enclosed.

Roughly the size of a Siheyuan—not big, not small.

Inside the Siheyuan, there is an independent spot located in the center where floral fragrance wafts.

The sound of water could be heard repeatedly.

It seemed like a beautiful scene on earth.

Mom walked to the door and gently knocked; the "creak" sounded as the door opened.

A girl resembling a little child looked over curiously.

Mom smiled, rubbed the girl's hair, ordered her subordinates to watch, then strode toward the deepest part.

Just then.

A chill rose in her heart as Mom passed through a half-bamboo grove. (End of chapter)
