Gu Ning followed the figure all the way to a narrow alley.

"Thank you for the banquet!"

She tried her best to suck the milk and shouted loudly.

That figure still didn't look back.

"If you run away again, I will...I will go back and tell my grandmother! Let her keep you by my side to serve you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man stopped.

"County Lord, what do you want to do?" Xie Yan turned around, his handsome face was covered by a ferocious mask, leaving only a pair of narrow phoenix eyes exposed.

He was staring at Gu Ning, with incomprehensible emotions in his eyes.

However, all that was left in front of Gu Ning's eyes was this huge ball of light.

She swallowed, and before the automatic rubbing function could react, she held Xie Yan's hand.

The beautiful sound of her luck reaching her account made her feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Her eyes were bright, and she was staring at Xie Yan as if she was seeing delicious food.

Xie Yan's eyes were cold and he said word by word: "County Master! These subordinates are not your playthings!"

"I've already said, I love you." Gu Ning's face did not turn red, her heart did not beat, and her sweet words came right out of her mouth, "You are my most cherished existence."

Even though he knew that Gu Ning was teasing him on purpose, Xie Yan couldn't help but want to find out after seeing her sparkling peach blossom eyes.

At this moment, Chunyu's shouts came from far away and came closer.

Xie Yan suddenly woke up. He hurriedly pushed Gu Ning away, who was getting closer and closer, and quickly and lightly jumped onto the high wall.

Gu Ning looked at the wall that was as high as three of her own, and finally gave up on trying to catch up.

She is a patient now and must never do something as dangerous as climbing a wall.

But looking at the deserted alley in front of her, she immediately sighed and leaned against the wall with her remaining body.

Xie Yan is really a annoying little goblin. What should I do to keep him by my side?

"County Lord!"

Chunyu finally caught up with Gu Ning, followed by a bunch of guards.

Gu Ning turned around and looked at her resentfully.

"Slave... what did you do wrong?" Chunyu immediately stood still and asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Gu Ning waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go back home first."

Before leaving, she glanced at the alley again and left with regret.

Behind the wall, Xie Yan covered his chest - his heart was beating violently.

The delicate fragrance of the woman as she approached, and the soft red lips... both reminded him of the scene in the wing that day.

Oops……

He felt something strange on his body, suppressed the impulse with great self-control, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"master!"

Behind the wall, a man stuck his head out and looked at him in surprise. It was Chi Yuerong who had just arrived.

"Why are you here?"

Xie Yan's eyes turned cold and he looked at Yue Rong like a sharp knife: "You're late again!"

Yue Rong jumped down. After hearing these words, he scratched his head and said cautiously: "When my subordinates saw Chunyu outside, they thought that the county master might be here with you... so..."

The next moment, the strand of hair on his temples was cut off by internal force.

Yue Rong knelt on the ground obediently: "Master, I know I was wrong."

"I think you are so brave!" Xie Yan sneered, "How dare you make the decision for me!"

He knew Yue Rong's thoughts best.

It's just that he wants to bring himself and Gu Ning together so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to hold the Pei family's military power in his hands!

Yue Rong whispered: "I just feel that...in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, it is necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the Pei family. It happens that the county master likes you. If you can..."

"Xin Yue?" Xie Yan turned around and left only one sentence with unclear meaning, "In her eyes, there is only Prince Duan."

Gu Mansion.

"Uncle, I'm useless..." Gu Qingqiu lowered his head, and the handkerchief in his hand had already been twisted into a shape.

Gu Zhiyuan's anger had already reached its peak, but when he looked at Gu Qingqiu's apricot eyes that were very similar to those of his old friend, he finally suppressed his anger.

"It's not your fault." Gu Zhiyuan patted her shoulder and reassured, "It's Ning'er who disrespects her elders! It's because I didn't teach her well!"

The concern in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, and Gu Qingqiu felt relieved for a moment.

But thinking of Gu Yunwan's tragic situation, she suppressed her experience in the Pei Mansion and said warmly: "Grandma just woke up, please go and see her."

Gu Zhiyuan nodded and strode inside.

Ban Xia, who was waiting on the side, saw that Gu Qingqiu was not in high spirits, and there was a faint look of worry in his eyebrows, so he tried to persuade her: "Miss, you don't have to worry, I can see clearly that in the entire Gu family, the old lady and the uncle love the most."

It’s you!”

"Even if she is the head of the county, she must abide by her filial piety. With the old lady and uncle here, she can't do anything to you!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu managed to cheer up a bit.

Seeing this, Banxia reassured her: "Besides, no matter how noble her status is, she cannot be higher than His Highness Prince Duan! As long as His Highness Duan Wang protects you, you will never end up like the second lady!"

"It's common for sisters to serve one husband together. His Highness, Prince Duan, has such deep affection for you that he will definitely make you a concubine..."

"alright."

Gu Qingqiu's originally calm expression turned cold.

Banxia suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, she heard Gu Qingqiu's cold words: "Don't say things like this again from now on."

"Yes!" Banxia nodded hurriedly.

Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes and stared blankly at the wrinkled handkerchief in his hand.

Just like her heart at the moment.

Be a concubine?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, she quickly killed it.

She, Gu Qingqiu, would never become a concubine!

In Rongan Hall, several nuns looked serious and guarded the door.

Ever since Gu Zhiyuan entered, anyone approaching the door would be stopped.

Gu Yunwan crouched in the bushes, staring at these nuns cautiously, not daring to express her anger.

Just now when she heard that Gu Zhiyuan had returned home, she hurried to Rong'an Hall.

Unexpectedly, before entering the old lady's bedroom, she saw these nuns clearing everyone out with great force.

Gu Yunwan's desire to leave only surfaced for a moment, and then she suppressed it again.

Her intuition told her that the conversation in the bedroom today must be crucial! She must seize this opportunity!

As long as she doesn't reach a desperate situation, she will never give up!

As a few loud shouts rang out in the room, Gu Yunwan's heart skipped a beat.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the nuns retreating in tacit agreement and tiptoeing into the window.

Mrs. Gu's voice of cursing Gu Ning kept coming from inside. The vicious words made her feel happy for a while.

At this moment, another voice sounded.

"Mother, what exactly did you do? Why did she say such a thing?"

Gu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at Mrs. Gu displeasedly, trying to find out something from her expression.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu's face suddenly turned cold.

"What? Don't you still trust me?" She said coldly, "In this world, apart from you, I am the most afraid of people knowing about this matter! How could I talk nonsense and make her doubt me?

"

A trace of ferocious hatred appeared on Gu Zhiyuan's face.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "What should we do? When I went to court, I heard that the eldest princess was going to Jiangnan for a visit. If it is true as you said, and they found out about it, then they would be afraid of going to Jiangnan.

Yes...I'm afraid it's for Yun'er!"

"It's not like you don't know that she has a perverse temper. You have tolerated it for so many years. You just have to tolerate it any longer. Why do you want to go against her?"

Once Gu Zhiyuan thought about the consequences of this incident being exposed, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hands were trembling at this moment.

Mrs. Gu, who was lying in bed, lost her previous dignity. She hugged the quilt in confusion and said in a trembling voice: "Did they really go to Jiangnan to investigate Qingqiu's life experience?"

"Zhiyuan, what should we do?"

Gu Zhiyuan's face was blue and purple, very ugly.

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only send someone to inform Yun'er and ask her to leave Jiangnan to avoid the limelight."

Speaking of this, he stared at Mrs. Gu again and said word by word: "Mother, you must remember that Qingqiu's life experience must be kept secret! If anyone finds out, she is mine.

Daughter, then I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! I want to kill the three tribes!"

Mrs. Gu trembled, nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter in my stomach."

"Zhiyuan, you have to send people to Jiangnan as soon as possible. They must not let them get there first!" Old Madam Gu felt sad, "The lives of our Gu family are all tied to you!"

Under the window, Gu Yunwan covered her mouth in horror.

The capital city is always lively and bustling at night.

The city was full of people going out for fun, and there were also many noble ladies and gentlemen with their servants.

Several shadows walked through the dim alley at this moment, heading straight for the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate was about to close, they followed a convoy and successfully left the city.

The noisy sounds were isolated behind the city gate. They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up! If you are late, it will be a big problem!"

"We are divided into two groups, one goes to Yuezhou and the other goes to Jiangnan! We must get this matter done before the eldest princess leaves!"

After some discussion, the two got on their horses and hurried towards their destination.

Behind them, several black figures appeared from the woods. After a brief exchange, they followed the two people in the direction they left.

Before leaving, they released a snow-white dove.

The flying pigeon took advantage of the darkness to enter the capital, flapped its wings, and flew into Pei Mansion.

Gu Ning looked curiously at the tiny bamboo tube in the hands of the eldest princess.

"But something happened to the Gu family?"

The eldest princess glanced at her and handed the letter to her: "As you said, Gu Zhiyuan sent people to Jiangnan."

While Gu Ning was concentrating on studying the contents of the secret letter, the eldest princess said quietly: "Ning'er, when did you start to doubt them?"

"Where did you get the news?" She looked at Gu Ning, her eyes full of heartache, "I remember that you once admired him the most."
