"I know my father cares about me." Gu Ning said obediently, "But for the sake of my grandmother, I am willing to go with him."

"What's more, they say Jiangnan is a place with outstanding people, but I have never been there!"

Jiangnan! Jiangnan again!

Could it be that she was hinting?

A chill ran down Gu Zhiyuan's back. He was full of questions, but he was forced to suppress them in his heart, not even daring to test them.

"That's right." Gu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Jiangnan is indeed a good place. If you want to go, then go."

Gu Ning nodded quickly, his eyes full of expectation: "Father, didn't you serve as the general judge of Jiangning Mansion before? Is there any good place to eat or drink in Jiangning? I want to see it too."

Gu Zhiyuan felt cold in his heart, but no matter how he looked into Gu Ning's eyes, he couldn't see any malice.

It was as if she was still the same Gu Ning who obeyed her words.

"Father, why don't you speak?" Gu Ning tugged on his sleeve and asked doubtfully.

Pei Anlin's gaze was like a glare on his back, and Gu Zhiyuan quickly reacted and showed a loving smile to Gu Ning: "Back then, I was busy with government affairs in Jiangning. At most, I just walked around the Yuhu Lake. I'm afraid I can't help you.

But the eldest princess has a dedicated person to take care of her, so she must know better than me."

"My father was really hard at that time." Gu Ning said with emotion.

While he was busy with official duties, he had a private meeting with Bai Yueguang without telling the people around him. He really couldn't spare time to eat, drink and have fun.

Gu Zhiyuan's smile faltered. For some reason, Gu Ning's words made him feel even more uncomfortable.

But before he could think about it carefully, he heard Pei Anlin say: "We are going to leave soon, why don't you go and see if your clothes and jewelry are ready?"

"Master Gu, the government is very busy today, so I won't keep you here." He said to Gu Zhiyuan with an attitude that would not allow anyone to refuse, "When I come back from Jiangnan, I will treat you well to Master Gu."

Gu Zhiyuan's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were inevitably filled with coldness.

The Pei family is still as proud as ever!

Seeing Gu Zhiyuan leave, Gu Ning instantly stopped smiling.

"What a great performance." Pei Anlin rubbed her head and praised, "I was shocked just now."

Gu Ning was wiping the hand that had just touched Gu Zhiyuan. He rolled his eyes when he heard this: "He is so vigilant and came here to inquire about the news today. He must be panicking."

"The more it is at this time, the more careful we must be in dealing with him. We can neither let him relax nor force him to jump over the wall."

Gu Ning's words made Pei Anlin nod his head: "This is exactly the reason."

He clapped his hands and laughed: "When we collect the evidence, we will definitely expose his ugly face!"

Having said this, he sadly gave Gu Ning a handful of silver notes: "You have been wronged by the Gu family all these years, and my uncle will definitely make the decision for you! Take the money and buy something you like. If it's not enough,

Just tell uncle!"

Holding a thick stack of silver notes, Gu Ning blinked in surprise, but Pei Anlin still had to sort out the escorting troops and left in a hurry.

She stood there, recalling the warmth she had felt in the past few days, and a bright smile bloomed on her lips.

Actually, looking at it this way, being sent to this world by mistake is not all bad.

The system took the opportunity to speak: "Host, according to the plot of the original book, the villain will be seriously injured while protecting Pei An. In the end, all the results are advantageous to the male protagonist. You actually want to take advantage of the villain's luck. Why don't you help him and make it better?

Guess, it will be more convenient to use luck in the future."

"What you said makes sense." Gu Ning touched his chin and nodded.

A flash of light flashed in her eyes, and in just a short moment, she had already thought of how to increase Xie Yan's favorability.

The eldest princess travels with great fanfare.

The five thousand soldiers accompanying him were all carefully selected from the Weihu Camp under the command of the eldest princess, and they only obeyed her orders.

Although this army only has 20,000 people, it is an existence that even the emperor is afraid of, and these 5,000 elite soldiers are the best among them.

However, the eldest princess has always traveled extravagantly, and such a grand trip only aroused the suspicion of a few people.

Two gorgeous carriages were particularly conspicuous among the neat and majestic team.

Gu Ning looked pale and held a cup of hot tea, feeling the bumps of the carriage.

It’s not that she got dizzy, it’s that her body is useless!

She leaned against the soft bed and closed her eyes in anger.

"Chunyu, change the guards of the convoy."

Luck!

If she doesn't get lucky again, she might die on the way to Jiangnan!

Chunyu hesitated: "County Lord, are you trying to..."

"I want to thank Yan..." Gu Ning paused, then continued, "I want to thank Yan for making a bowl of tonic soup and bringing it to me."

With so many people watching, and the eldest princess and Pei Anlin here, she can no longer act as boldly as before, but...

A touch of little hands always does the trick!

Hearing this, Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's easy to handle." She said happily, "Guard Xie has a tough temper. If you, the County Master, use force, I'm afraid you will force him to death."

Gu Ning responded feebly, but he could taste something else in Chunyu's words.

"What does it mean to use strength?" Gu Ning's eyes suddenly opened wide.

But Chunyu had already jumped off the carriage, and she was so full of explanations that she had to swallow it back.

Forget it, I can’t explain it clearly, so it’s just a misunderstanding.

"Ahem!"

The eldest princess coughed violently and spit out the sip of tea she had just swallowed.

The maid next to her quickly wiped it for her: "Princess, please slow down."

The eldest princess casually pulled the handkerchief and wiped it on her face a few times, focusing on what Chunyu just said.

"What are you talking about? She wants to thank you for making soup? What's her plan?"

Chunyu lowered her head and whispered: "I don't know, but this is indeed the county master's order. Do you want me to..."

But after a moment of hesitation, the eldest princess waved her hand: "Nothing, as long as she doesn't do anything inappropriate, I'll just follow her."

If one of Xie Yan's guards defends him in every possible way, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of those who are spying in secret.

Too much is not enough.

The eldest princess looked solemn and ordered: "When they get along, you must serve them personally. You must not...never allow the two of them to go beyond their limits."

Hearing this, Chunyu immediately thought of the noise she heard outside the wing that day. Her face heated up and she lowered her head with erratic eyes: "Don't worry, princess, I will all remember it."

In the carriage behind, Gu Ning swayed with the bumps of the carriage and almost transformed into an immortal. Only then did Chunyu arrive.

She desperately looked behind Chunyu, but in vain.

Seeing this, Chunyu said hurriedly: "The soup needs to be made freshly, but the guards need to wait a little slower."

Gu Ning rolled her eyes weakly: "What's more important, soup or people? What I want is Xie Yan."

"Next time, just prepare the tonic soup for him and ask him to bring it to me personally. Do you understand?"

Chunyu suddenly realized: "I remember this."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the car curtain was opened.

Xie Yan's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were like snow in the clouds, looking at her coldly.

"County Lord, you want the soup."

He stood in front of the carriage and only handed the soup bowl into the carriage. His alienation and disgust were very obvious.

"I'm weak." Gu Ning exaggeratedly coughed a few times and said, "I have to trouble you to bring it up."

Xie Yan felt the probing gazes coming from all directions, and his face was suddenly filled with frost.

He didn't want to become a topic of conversation for others. He just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and got on the carriage immediately.

Chunyu retreated out of the car with a wink.

This carriage is quite large, and even if Xie Yan enters, there is still quite a lot of space.

But Gu Ning was approaching at this moment, and her warm breath was very close to him.

Xie Yanjun frowned, immediately grabbed Gu Ning's chin, gritted his teeth and said: "County Lord, what do you want to do in public?"

Gu Ning's chin was clasped tightly and she said vaguely: "I didn't mean it."

She cursed the system's automatic retrieval function in her mind. If she could approach "uprightly", why would she have to take this difficult position to gain luck?

The system carefully made up for it: "But you can gain luck by having physical contact with him, regardless of any posture. Look, your luck value is now -170. What a great effect!"

Although your luck is good, such a posture is not something ordinary people can bear!

She had no doubt that if she acted out of line again, Xie Yan would crush her chin without hesitation.

Xie Yan saw her eyes staring at him with tears in her eyes, and subconsciously relaxed her strength.

At this moment, the carriage bumped and Gu Ning's center of gravity became unstable and she crashed into Xie Yan's arms.

The tip of her nose hit her hard chest. Gu Ning groaned, but at this moment she tightened her arms around Xie Yan's neck and said, "It's all this carriage's fault!"

The woman's fragrance surrounded his nose, and the soft touch on his chest made his blood surge.

Xie Yan closed his eyes, opened them again, and coldly opened her hands: "County Master, it's time for you to take medicine."

But as soon as he touched the hot porcelain bowl, his hand stopped again.

Seeing Xie Yan frozen there, Gu Ning looked curiously.

She saw the steaming porcelain bowl at a glance, but after thinking about it for a moment, her eyes widened with a smile.

"It seems that Guard Xie's heart is not entirely as cold as stone."

Xie Yan glanced into her eyes and saw the sly smile in her eyes, his face became even colder, he put the porcelain bowl on the table, opened the curtain and walked out.

Gu Ning held the porcelain bowl and watched his leaving figure intently, leaning lazily on the soft bed like a satiated kitten.

After getting off the carriage, everyone around him immediately looked straight at Xie Yan.

But they didn't see any marks on Xie Yan's face, not even a trace of red.

Yue Rong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He stepped forward in small steps and asked tentatively: "Master, are you okay?"

Xie Yan looked unhappy: "If you have nothing to do, why not continue to Jiangning to investigate."

Yue Rong smiled coquettishly: "My subordinates also care about you. After all, the county master..."

"That's enough." Xie Yan gave him a cold look and strode back.
