Qin Yuan chuckled and cast him a sidelong glance, her voice gentle: "That girl is clever to a fault; when she grows up, she'll surely outshine Hong Ye in wit. It was Xiao Hong who signaled that something was off with Doctor Liu, which made me take notice. As for her, I have my own notions—you'd best not interfere."
That flirtatious sideways glance nearly sent Marquis Gu's soul drifting away; he smiled at once and said, "When it comes to employing people, you decide. I just felt pity for that little thing and mentioned her before you, that's all."
The two exchanged smiles,
Clearly a handsome man and a beautiful woman, yet Gu Shiliu found the scene unbearable to watch.
He could only lower his head.
He sighed inwardly: The master is like this, sooner or later the lady will hold him fast—and it will be a grip he can never escape from.
Even if General Jin sends a thousand treasure books, it would be useless.
Truly.
