Wanyin shook her head: "I can't think of why."
Wan Yin turned and looked at Gu Xiong: "Did you find out the reason later?"
Gu Xiong nodded, his face showing even more guilt, and looked at Wan Yin: "I didn't find the reason. My second brother's wife told me after Zheng Meng died."
"It's because Zheng Meng is jealous of you and can marry me. She likes me too."
Wanyin's pupils widened. Qiqi was lying. Wanyin took a step back and said, "No, that's not it. The person Mengmeng loves is Gu Xiang. It's Gu Xiang."
"And she also told me that Gu Xiang also liked her. Gu Xiang even gave her something. When Meng Meng got that thing, she was very happy. It's not what you said."
Qian Jiujiu listened to Wan Yin's words and sighed. She had almost guessed the cause and effect, but if she told this matter aloud, it would probably be very hurtful.
Gu Xiangning had just brought Gu Xiang and others in when he heard this. Gu Xiang looked at Wan Yin blankly: "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever send anything to Zheng Meng?"
Wanyin looked at Gu Xiang: "You don't admit it, how can you not admit it? Didn't you give the seven-colored gourd to Mengmeng? Mengmeng also said that you would marry her when you turn 18."
Gu Xiang felt as if his brain exploded, and he looked at Wan Yin: "You are talking nonsense, I gave that colorful gourd to Qi Qi."
Wanyin shook her head and denied it: "No, no, that's not it. You gave it to Mengmeng under the big locust tree on the edge of the island during the Qiqiao Festival. I was there at the time and I saw it clearly."
"After Mengmeng broke up with you, she kept talking to me all night. She was very happy. I am sure that person was Mengmeng, not Qiqi. Qiqi, tell me, was it you?"
Zhang Qiqi looked very unhappy. She obviously had not expected that a third person would know about this matter. After her face changed for a moment, it returned to its pitiful look.
"Yin Yin, I know you are unhappy. You think I am the one who is hurting you, so you framed me like this, right? I am the one who wrote the letter to my husband."
"It was me who celebrated the Qiqiao Festival with my husband back then."
Wanyin frowned: "I remember correctly, it was Mengmeng. You knew about this matter, and it was Mengmeng who told you later. Otherwise, you can tell me what happened at that time."
Qian Jiujiu coughed and said, "Mom, Second Aunt and Second Uncle have been together for so many years. Maybe Second Aunt has supported Second Uncle and said it hundreds of times. How could she not be able to tell it?"
"I think there's something fishy about this matter. By the way, Gu Xiangning, you brought them in so quickly. Did you find a way to clear your name?"
Gu Xiangning's face darkened: "Qian Jiujiu, who do you take me for?"
Qian Jiujiu curled her lips and said, "Outsiders, Xiao Man and I are outsiders on this island, and you are our own people. I am not surprised that you would favor them."
"But Gu Xiangning, you have to remember one thing. I, Qian Jiujiu, am never someone you can mess with. If I am not satisfied with the answer you give, I am sorry."
"You are qualified to handle my affairs, and I will handle them in my own way."
Gu Yun listened to Qian Jiujiu's words and couldn't help but sneered: "It's very impressive, but you still followed my brother Xiang Ning back eagerly."
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows and said, "If my mother wasn't here, I wouldn't have come. There is nothing in your Mingyue Island that attracts me and is worthy of my attention."
"Don't think that just because your island has a mysterious reputation of being able to assist the world, it's a big deal. In fact, I really don't take it seriously at all."
Gu Xiangning coughed twice, signaling Gu Yun not to argue with Qian Jiujiu. He had experienced Qian Jiujiu's eloquence, and Qian Jiujiu was alone in the Great Zhou.
To be able to rise from a peasant girl to one of the top few people in the Great Zhou Kingdom who can make decisions, and to have such a high reputation among the common people, she is definitely not a mediocre person, or she did it by relying on Mu Yexiao's favor.
He had seen the Great Zhou Emperor and Qian Jiujiu get along, and found that the Great Zhou Emperor's attitude towards Qian Jiujiu was very unusual. Looking at Qian Jiujiu, Gu Xiangning was suddenly shocked.
Because he thought of what Gu Xiong once said, that only the heir truly recognized by Mingyue Island would have the right to choose and assist a wise ruler.
And this is what Qian Jiujiu seems to have been doing all along, and the Mu Yexiao she chose is very likely to be the next wise ruler!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiangning's expression was a little strange. In fact, he didn't care much about whether he could assist a wise monarch. Anyway, the owner of Mingyue Island had not been out for a thousand years.
There was no wise ruler chosen, and even over the years, many island masters had not been recognized by Mingyue Island. Qian Jiujiu saw Gu Xiangning looking at him strangely.
He couldn't help but cough twice. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? You'd better tell me what the result of your investigation is?"
"Zhang Qiqi was wrongly accused?"
Gu Yun was so angry that he almost died: "Qian Jiujiu, you are simply shameless and don't understand etiquette. My mother is your elder, how can you just call her by her name?"
Qian Jiujiu just curled her lips and said, "A vicious woman who wants to kill me is worthy of being the elder of this princess?"
When Qian Jiujiu said this, her aura was fully released. Let's not talk about the fact that Qian Jiujiu was already accustomed to the princess's aura. Even the temperament of a soldier in her previous life could intimidate Gu Yun.
And Qian Jiujiu has been very gentle since she came to the island, and has never revealed her nobleness. At this moment, Gu Yun only feels that Qian Jiujiu in front of him is so noble and unattainable.
She couldn't help but show jealousy on her face. Her originally pure and lovely face looked extremely ugly in an instant.
Gu Xiangning was stunned for a moment. He couldn't put into words the conclusion he had just reached. Gu Xiang was still in a daze at this time, unable to figure it out.
Was it Zheng Meng or Zhang Qiqi who was with him at the time? He remembered that he seemed to have never smelled the fragrance of that woman on Zhang Qiqi at that time.
Later, for a long time, he was not used to it, but at that time, he had already married Zhang Qiqi, and he always felt that as a man.
After marrying a wife, one should protect and care for her. What's more, he was told that his wife was still his sweetheart, so he was even more afraid that she would suffer any injustice.
But now Wanyin told him that his wife was wrong from the beginning and was not his sweetheart. This blow was really hard for Gu Xiang to accept.
Meanwhile, Qian Jiujiu was still asking Gu Xiangning about the results of his investigation. The half-smile in her eyes made Gu Xiangning feel a little embarrassed, but he thought about it and still spoke.
Perhaps it would be good to let Qian Jiujiu make a fuss. Thinking of this, Gu Xiangning coughed twice: "Okay, let me tell you my findings."
"Second aunt was wronged in this matter. It was a nanny next to second aunt who did it. That nanny wanted to avenge Zheng Meng, so she targeted you."
"That nanny said that she had received favors from Zheng Meng before, and seeing that you and your daughter were not dead, she stood up for Zheng Meng."
Qian Jiujiu just sneered: "You are just throwing dirty water on Zheng Meng, aren't you afraid that the Zheng family will have objections? Since this matter is related to the Zheng family, take that nanny with me, I'm going to the Zheng family."
"You schemed against my mother before, and now you scheme against me. Do you really think I am made of clay? Let's go."
As soon as Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, A Da suddenly jumped out and pressed acupoints on the nanny, and then the nanny could not move, and then he put the nanny on the ground.
He dragged her along casually, following Qian Jiujiu, and headed outside the Zheng family. This change was so fast that Gu Xiangning was stunned for a moment.
He just sent Ada to protect Qian Jiujiu. When did Ada become someone who only listened to Qian Jiujiu's orders and obeyed them? He looked at Ada's back and frowned.
I don't know what he is thinking, but Wanyin can't help but feel worried when she sees Qian Jiujiu being so impulsive. She knows that the Zheng family was in trouble after Zheng Meng died more than ten years ago.
The Zheng family moved to the other side of the island and stopped interacting with them. Qian Jiujiu would definitely suffer if he rushed over like this. He looked at Gu Xiong and said, "Island Master, let's follow them and bring some people."
"I'm worried that Jiuer will suffer. This kid is really too impulsive."
The one with the ugliest expression at this moment was Zhang Qiqi. She had not expected that Qian Jiujiu would actually go to the Zheng family. You know, she had put in a lot of effort to get the Zheng family to move.
If this matter broke out, Zhang Qiqi looked at Gu Xiang. She had been with this man for so many years, how could she not know what this man was thinking.
He will definitely want to kill her. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiqi turned pale. She must stop this. She looked at Gu Xiangning and said, "Xiangning, go and stop Qian Jiujiu."
Gu Xiangning looked puzzled: "What is Second Aunt worried about? Qian Jiujiu is going to settle accounts with the Zheng family, why not? Although the Zheng family has moved."
"You are still a resident of the island, but for so many years, you have not cared about the island's affairs and have drifted away from Mingyue Island. This may be an opportunity, Second Uncle, let's go together."
Looking at Gu Xiangning's black and white eyes, Zhang Qiqi suddenly took a step back. Did Gu Xiangning know everything? Or did he want to do something
Seeing Zhang Qiqi not leaving, Gu Xiangning looked at Gu Yun: "Gu Yun, hold your mother, Second Uncle, let's go. If you go too late, there will be no good show to watch."
When Gu Yun heard that he could watch Qian Jiujiu's good show, he couldn't help but get excited and pulled Zhang Qiqi's arm: "Mom, let's go quickly. Qian Jiujiu will definitely suffer a loss against the Zheng family."
She didn't even notice her mother's pale expression, but Gu Xiang saw Zhang Qiqi's face, and he didn't know what changed in his heart.
