The sky was grey and not yet bright. The ground was covered with frost and snow. The snow weighed down the branches, and large flakes of snow fell down with a rustling sound. Gu Yinzhou washed up in Jiang Zefeng's yard before preparing to leave.
"No need to see me off." Gu Yinzhou whispered, "It's cold outside, go back to the house."
Jiang Zefeng asked Xiaochun to get a cloak. Xiaochun brought two cloaks and put them on Jiang Zefeng. Jiang Zefeng took them and asked Gu Yinzhou to put them on. "Don't come again tonight."
Gu Yinzhou's eyes moved meaningfully around his face, "Your servants are really considerate."
Xiaochun could tell that there was more than pure praise in these words. He didn't know what had upset the general, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"No need for a cloak. I'm not that fragile." Gu Yinzhou waved his hand.
Jiang Zefeng ignored his words, stretched out his hand to cover his shoulders with the cloak, and gathered them together, "Let's go."
Gu Yinzhou snorted coldly, turned around and walked away with his cloak on.
He didn't let Jiang Zefeng see him off, but the servants in Jiang Zefeng's courtyard didn't dare to let Gu Yinzhou go alone. Xiaochun followed behind Gu Yinzhou, and when they were about to leave the courtyard, Gu Yinzhou's voice floated over.
"You know what to say and what not to say."
Xiaochun was quick-witted and figured it out immediately, "I...have never seen the general here before."
"You haven't seen it, what about the others?"
"They certainly haven't seen it either."
"That's good. Doctor Jiang's room is not warm anymore. It's time to add some charcoal."
"I'll do it right away."
Gu Yinzhou was quite clever. He glanced at him and said, "Go back. You don't have to see me off."
Xiaochun hesitated and stopped, "Yes."
Gu Yinzhou didn't allow them to tell his mother about his staying here overnight. He knew that his mother cared about his health the most. If she knew that he came here at night, he didn't know whether she would arrange for Jiang Zefeng to leave the house.
Xiaochun waited until he could no longer be seen before walking back with cold hands and feet.
The fact that the general and Doctor Jiang had an affair was a secret. The old lady arranged for them to keep an eye on Jiang Zefeng to prevent him from doing anything wrong, and this... the general had even run into the yard.
At this moment, those rumors of "discord" took on a different meaning in their eyes.
This is not discord at all.
Gu Yinzhou disappeared early in the morning. The servants in his yard were anxiously looking for him everywhere and almost reported it to the old lady. But at this moment, he came back.
"General, where have you been?"
"I went out for a walk." said Gu Yinzhou.
He walked straight into the house and took off the cloak. The servant took it and noticed that the cloak was not Gu Yinzhou's.
Went out for a walk? Where did you go this early in the morning?
There is no wall that is impenetrable. There are many servants in the mansion, and they have to get up early to serve their master. When Gu Yinzhou walked over from Jiang Zefeng's yard in the morning, it was not that no one saw him, but no one thought that Gu Yinzhou went to Jiang Zefeng's yard at first.
