A warning bell rang in Dong'er's heart. The young lady had always abided by the rules. She had been careful about her words and deeds in the Gu Mansion all these years, and she had never mentioned her husband before.
She thought for a while and said, "It looks pretty good, just a little cold, but it doesn't seem to have a good reputation outside."
Dong'er didn't finish all the words. This Mr. Jiang Qi not only has a bad reputation, he is simply... I don’t know why the lady took a fancy to him.
Wu Yanling's pretty face turned gloomy and she said, "What's wrong with my bad reputation? It's just that I'm a bit naughty. I might change it in the future."
When Dong'er saw the young lady's stern face, she didn't dare to say anything further, and hurriedly said: "Young lady is right, it's getting late, young lady should rest."
Wu Yanling, however, had no intention of sleeping, and said with great interest: "Why do you think he is so bold and dares to hit Prince Yin?"
Dong'er said casually: "It's not like we have King Shou behind us."
"You are really brave." Wu Yanling sighed quietly, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
Dong'er was afraid that she would continue talking, so she quickly blew out the candle.
In the darkness, a face appeared in front of Wu Yanling's eyes. There was a coldness on the handsome face, and the eyes were slightly slanted, as if everything in the world was not in his eyes.
That day, she went to Wangyue Pavilion to talk to the emperor's uncle. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard the sound of the piano.
She left in search of the sound and saw a man in gray clothes moving his hands under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard. His handsome face shone in the light and shadow, exuding the charm of a mature man.
He played and sang at the same time, and his deep voice was as beautiful as a dusk drum. She was so obsessed with looking at it.
Seeing her coming, he paused in his hands and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his head, looked at her with focused eyes, smiled lightly and said, "Miss Ling is here!"
Wu Yanling didn't know why, her heart was pounding, her pretty face turned red to her ears, she ran away, and it was in her heart from then on.
Her mother returned from the palace and told her that she wanted to marry her to the Jiang family. She had a calm expression on her face, but she was actually secretly happy.
See you again today. He has his hair loose, waving his fists, a sinister smile on his face, swearing in his mouth, and he is indescribably brave. Even listening to those dirty words makes people feel extremely comfortable.
She was hidden in the crowd. Among the four handsome and outstanding men, she only saw him in her eyes.
Wu Yanling turned over, a sweet smile appeared on her pretty and shy face. I really hope my mother can get her wish.
In a quiet courtyard of the Gu Mansion, Aunt Xu was leaning on a pit, listening to her daughter tell interesting stories about the Duke's Mansion.
When she heard her daughter talk about the fight between Prince Shou and Prince Yin, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "How is Prince Yin's appearance and character? How old are you this year? Is he married yet?"
Gu Qinglian thought for a while and said, "I heard that she is already nineteen and has not yet married a wife."
Mrs. Xu's eyes brightened a little more and she said with a smile: "Ah, hey, hey, I'm nineteen and I'm still not married. What do you mean?"
Gu Qinglian said: "His sister is not married yet. It is too early to say it is not easy, otherwise there will be disaster."
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter's smooth and jade-like cheeks, and with a thought in her mind, she sighed: "It would be great if you could fall into his eyes."
"Aunt Hu Qin, what is his identity, what is my identity, I am not worthy of being her concubine." Gu Qinglian's face turned red with embarrassment.
Mrs. Xu felt a sore nose after listening to her daughter's words, and said: "If you were born in the wife's belly, how could you not live without it? Just complain, God has placed you in the aunt's belly."
"Why bother saying this, aunt?" Gu Qinglian was unhappy.
"Don't tell, don't tell."
Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears and said hurriedly: "Second Miss's marriage has been decided, and now it's your turn. You should be more discerning and don't let others take the lead in everything."
"Don't worry, aunt, I'm not stupid."
"You're just stupid."
Mrs. Xu said angrily: "That third child, you can only do superficial things. Don't rip your heart out to her. This person is full of evil. Look, she has implicated me today."
When Gu Qinglian heard this, she felt very angry.
"Don't worry, mother, I don't have to worry about it."
"If you have the chance, go to that fool's house often and see if you can coax him. That fool climbed up to Jiang's house and will definitely go there again in the future. If you can follow her to that house, I'll see you. In the world, it would be a great thing to get to know more ladies and ladies from aristocratic families.”
Gu Qinglian thought about the teasing and ridicule she had made towards fools in the past, and said with a little embarrassment, "My daughter is embarrassed to come to the door with a shy face."
"For the sake of your own future, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. You have to learn from the Liu family. They dare to hook men into the house in broad daylight."
"What nonsense did my aunt say?"
Gu Qinglian scolded her, but she believed it in her heart.
"Miss, there was news later that the sixth lady gave all the box of things to the second lady. The second lady immediately went to the sixth lady's courtyard and sat for a while before coming out."
Gu Qingyun was so angry that she threw the handkerchief to the ground and said bitterly: "This Gu Qingwan is so lucky that even Prince Yin came out to speak for her."
Xiaoyue twitched her lips, "Who says it's not the case?"
"The young lady obviously did it for the good of the house, and was afraid that she would go crazy, so she kept her away. But in the end, she fell into disgrace. I really feel sorry for the young lady."
When Gu Qingyun heard this, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She was so angry that she smashed the pillow behind her on the ground.
My aunt was grounded for three months because of her careless words; and she was punished because of her. She was such a troublemaker. Why didn't she die with Qian's family
"One day, I want that lunatic to see my methods."
Gu Qingyun did not dare to complain to the princess, and only directed all her hatred towards Gu Qingwan.
Qingguan rested for an hour, and all the fatigue from the day dissipated. She put on her clothes and waited for Chen Ping to come.
When the time came, Chen Ping had landed firmly in the courtyard. Qingguan's eyes lit up, she got up and walked over.
After half a cup of tea, Qian Fu couldn't hold back his anger.
The young lady kept saying that she wanted to see him, but when she did, she just drank tea, which made him feel anxious and uneasy.
"What trouble did Miss encounter?"
Qing Guan put down the tea cup and said softly: "Uncle Fu, I met Su Ziyu today."
Qian Fu took a breath and said nothing for a long time.
Qingguan didn't look at his face, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes, she lowered her head and said nothing. For a moment, the flower hall was silent, with only the bright candlelight dancing.
Qian Fu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"Miss, there were some things that I didn't tell you back then, but I kept them in my heart. Now that the lady has entered Beijing and met people again, it's time to know."
Qingguan took a deep breath. Although she didn't know what Qian Fu was hiding, she could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Uncle Fu, tell me!"
Qian Fu stroked a foot that had been broken and said: "Back then, the Sheng family was executed, and the old slave went to Beijing on the order of the young lady to collect the bodies of everyone in the Sheng family."
Qingguan felt a pain in his heart. This must have been six years ago. She remembered that Qian Fu returned to Suzhou three months later and gave an overview of the matter in an understatement.
She was so heartbroken at that time that she didn't dare to ask deeply, for fear that if she asked too many questions, she would not be able to hide the hatred buried deep in her heart.
"When the old slave came to Beijing, the bones of the Sheng family were piled up in random graves. No one dared to collect the bodies. The condition was very miserable."
"Uncle Fu..." When Qingguan heard that her relatives were found dead in the wilderness, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Qian Fu's tone became deeper and deeper, filled with sorrow.
"The old slave spent a lot of money to settle the affairs of the Sheng family. Later, the old slave went to the capital to inquire about it. Miss... the supervisor of the Sheng family is Su Ziyu."
Qingguan gritted his teeth, his body crumbling.
However, before she could recover, Qian Fu's voice filled with hatred started again.
"Moreover, people say that the reason why the Sheng family is unlucky is because of the Su family. It was because of the downfall of the Sheng family that Su Qing climbed to the position of Minister of War."
Thousands of arrows pierce the heart!
Qingguan was in unbearable pain and hurriedly used her hands to support herself to prevent herself from falling.
There are two tigers in the Ministry of War, one tiger is the Sheng family, and the other is the Su family. They are both the founding heroes of the country, and they are both brave and good at fighting. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The Sheng family will be defeated and the Su family will be victorious.
Seeing that the young lady's face was as pale as paper, Qian Fu hurriedly walked to her and held her pulse with three fingers.
The pulse is intact and Qian Fu returns to his original position.
Qingguan smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes and said, "Uncle Fu, do you have any real evidence that Su Ziyu did what happened to the Sheng family?"
Qian Fu shook his head and said: "Miss, I have no evidence. What I can find out is just a little bit of superficial knowledge. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. But there is one thing that I can be sure of."
"What is it?"
"Su Ziyu got engaged to the British father on the May 7th day after the fire in Qian's house."
A person has to go through seven stages of death, one stage every seven days. The fifth and seventh levels are the levels of the Lord of Hell. Only after passing this level can one go to the underworld.
His fiancée died tragically, and his soul is still wandering in the underworld. He actually found another high school, which is outrageous and heartless.
The pain was so extreme that Qingguan calmed down.
"Uncle Fu, pass on my order. I want to know all the news about the Su family and the Yin family. You ask Ludie and Ziang to pay attention in secret."
Qian Fu frowned and nodded: "Miss, I will send someone tonight."
"Um!"
Qingguan responded softly. She looked at the hourglass, ignoring the sadness in her heart, and told Qian Fu everything she had encountered at the Zhenguo Palace today.
After hearing this, Qian Fu couldn't think of a reason. He stroked his forehead and said to Qingguan: "Miss, Shi Minwei said that he would be Miss's master. In the past two days, I saw him studying hard all night and working hard to improve himself." , Miss, why don't you use these things to test and see if he can tell you the reason. "
Shi Minwei
Qingguan was surprised, "Why would he want to be my master?"
Qian Fu told the lady in detail what happened after Qingwan left that night. Qingguan's beautiful eyebrows raised: "You can give it a try. Firstly, this person has followed Mr. Shige since he was a child. He is familiar with history books and is knowledgeable about the past and present. Secondly, in the family of eunuchs, the trends in the court are more or less clear. Mr. Shige is the prince and tutor. , This boy has a lot of ears and eyes, and he has never learned enough. He only has two points, which is enough for us. Uncle Fu, send someone to call him."
