Gu Ning's behavior was completely different from her usual image.

But Xie Yan had already noticed something strange from some clues, so he wasn't too surprised at this time.

On the contrary, brothers Yue Ming and Yuerong opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they saw.

"Why do I feel like the county leader has changed?" Yue Rong said in surprise, "Before this change, this little beggar was either dead or disabled!"

Yue Ming was relatively calm, but his eyes were clearly filled with shock.

As an elder brother, Yue Ming has always been dissatisfied with Yue Rong's sudden temper, but today, he nodded and said seriously: "What you said makes sense!"

Gu Ning ignored the two shocked looks behind her, with a smile in her eyes. When the little beggar came to his senses, she asked: "What does the person who asked you to run errands look like?"

"It's two women." The little beggar tried to remember, "One of the women is very beautiful..."

Before she finished speaking, she quickly shook her head and firmly clenched the silver ingot in her hand.

"But not as good-looking as you!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning chuckled lightly.

She slowly gathered her hair into a bun and said with a lazy smile: "Thank you for your compliment. I also think I was born extremely beautiful."

"Thank you, guard, do you think so?"

She changed the topic and looked directly at Xie Yan.

Gu Ning was dressed up today, and everything from her fingertips to her hair was exquisite.

What is even more attractive than her bright and stunning appearance is her pair of slightly curved peach blossom eyes, which seem to contain thousands of amorous feelings. Each frown and smile can captivate the soul.

Xie Yan's eyes darkened, and his deep eyes were filled with emotions that others couldn't understand, and they were suppressed by him in an instant.

His Adam's apple slid slightly, and he finally said indifferently: "No one can match the magnanimity of the county master."

Gu Ning raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction, stepped forward, and walked towards Qiyun Tower in front of her.

Jiangning is a prosperous city with countless restaurants with balconies and tiles. The most famous restaurant among them is Qiyun Tower, which stands in the center.

There are seven floors in Qiyun Tower. The higher you go, the more luxurious it becomes. Guests who can go up to the second floor are considered rich or noble.

As soon as Gu Ning arrived at the door, a waiter greeted him enthusiastically.

"Guest officer, you are..."

A woman in blue quickly stepped forward and glanced at the man from the corner of her eye.

"This is someone invited by my lady, you don't need to entertain her."

The boy's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Gu Ning.

If his attitude was attentive in the beginning, now there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.

Xie Yan noticed something, and his eyes turned cold.

Before Chunyu opened her mouth to speak, she saw Xie Yan striding forward and covering all the waiters' eyes.

Facing such a handsome but cold face, the guy had a bad instinct.

At the same time, Xie Yan's deep voice also sounded in everyone's ears.

"How can I allow you to be so presumptuous in front of the Changning County Lord!"

Hearing this, the waiter's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but after recalling the rumors about Changning County Lord, he swallowed it back.

He knelt heavily on the ground and kept kowtowing to Gu Ning: "The little one has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai. County Lord, please have mercy on me!"

This kind of movement has already alarmed the shopkeeper and other customers.

After knowing Gu Ning's identity, some people's eyes suddenly became complicated.

Many people know the identity of the woman in blue.

"Isn't this the maid Feiyun next to Miss Qingqing?"

"Miss Qingqing? She is the most famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River? The Lord of Changning County has a distinguished status, how can he associate with a...?"

Everyone's whispers and looks at Feiyun made her squeeze her hands tightly.

But at this moment, the waiter said without hesitation: "I thought the woman who was dating Miss Qingqing must be..."

"You!" Feiyun turned red with anger and pointed at the man with sharp eyes, wishing to eat him alive. "My young lady's reputation is well-known throughout the Yangtze River. When will it be your turn to judge!"

"Okay." Chunyu interrupted Feiyun coldly, "The county master is here not to listen to your nonsense! Why don't you lead the way!"

Feiyun has always been proud to serve Xu Qingqing. Moreover, those high-ranking officials would do anything to please Xu Qingqing, which made her even more angry.

Now being scolded by a maid like Chunyu, her face looked grim.

Just when she was about to reprimand Chunyu, she saw Gu Ning walking forward slowly. There was no emotion in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, as indifferent as the clouds and snow on the mountains, which made her heart tremble.

She had also heard of the bad reputation of the Changning County Lord.

The girl's affairs are important now, and she can't ruin her good things!

So she immediately lowered her head and walked forward in small steps.

Go straight up the curved stairs to the fifth floor.

Gu Ning's eyes flashed, and she secretly made a calculation in her heart. It seems that this girl Qingqing has a close relationship with Qi Yunlou...

Feiyun raised her chin and said proudly: "The owner of Qiyun Tower has admired my girl for a long time. This private room on the fifth floor is specially reserved for my girl."

"What's so great about this!" Chunyu sneered unceremoniously: "With an order from my county master, this Qiyun Tower will change owners!"

"You!" Feiyun was furious for a moment and pointed at Chunyu and said, "You only know how to bully others, so what's the big deal in taking other people's things?"

Chunyu's delicate round face was full of anger. She strode forward, pushed Feiyun away, and cursed unceremoniously: "My county master has a pure and kind nature, and never makes things difficult for others. What she wants,

Of course someone will offer it with both hands! That master of yours is just an Israeli flower girl who serves people! She is not qualified to compare with the county master!"

Feiyun wanted to say something else, but heard footsteps coming from behind.

The door to the private room has been opened, and a beautiful woman is leaning on the door with a frown, looking at her displeased.

"Feiyun, why don't you apologize to the county lord quickly!"

Feiyun bit her lower lip. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was a distinguished county lord, the unwillingness in her heart made her unable to give in.

The one standing next to His Royal Highness Duan Wang should be my own girl!

This Changning County Lord is just a woman who was despised by His Highness Prince Duan!

Suddenly, a crisp laughter sounded.

Gu Ning waved his fan lazily and looked at the master and servant up and down.

"What's there to apologize for?" Gu Ning chuckled, "I really only know how to bully others."

With that said, she walked towards Xu Qingqing.

Feiyun thought she was going to do harm to Xu Qingqing, so she immediately stepped forward.

But Chunyu took action and threw her aside, preventing her from getting closer to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning walked forward slowly, while Xie Yan stayed by her side like a door god, always alert to changes in her surroundings.

"At this time today," Gu Ning said quietly, "I am also prepared to use my power to bully others and get you out of my sight completely."

While she was talking, the jade pendant she took from the beggar suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingqing.

"This mutton-fat jade pendant is Chu Yunyi's personal belongings. Why does it appear here with you?"

Gu Ning raised her eyebrows high, her eyes full of anger.

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing did not retreat but advanced. She looked directly at Gu Ning and said word by word: "Just as the county master thought, His Highness and I are in love, and this is the token of love given to me by His Highness."

After saying this, she waited for Gu Ning to get angry.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning smiled, played with the jade pendant in her hand, and said with a smile: "So... you are specifically declaring sovereignty to me?"

Xu Qingqing secretly clenched her hands, her eyes showing a bit of uneasiness.

This was completely different from the information she had heard. Why was the impulsive and irritable Lord of Changning County so calm?

On the official road outside Jiangning City, Chu Yunyi, who had just left not long ago, was riding a horse and galloping towards the city gate.

His face was full of impatience, and the dust in his heart made him even more angry.

The confidant followed closely behind and whispered: "Your Highness, if you break the appointment this time, I am afraid that the Chen family will be dissatisfied..."

"Which one is more important, the Chen family or the Pei family?" Chu Yunyi said with a cold face, swung the horsewhip fiercely, and asked, "I asked you to keep an eye on Xu Qingqing before, what did you do? Why did she come to her?

Gu Ning?"

The confidant swallowed back the words of explanation in frustration: "It's my subordinate who failed to do things well. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

"If there is a gap between Gu Ning and me because of this..." Chu Yunyi glanced at him sadly and said coldly, "You can go to the execution hall to receive your punishment!"

After that, Chu Yunyi stopped being distracted and ran straight to Qiyun Tower.

Qiyun Tower is now surrounded by soldiers.

Chu Yunyi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately got off his horse and rushed upstairs.

Unexpectedly, a burly body walked out of the darkness, it was Pei Anlin.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, stay!" Pei Anlin said politely, but the soldiers around him had already followed, blocking Chu Yunyi firmly at the gate.

Seeing this, Chu Yunyi was already panicked.

With such a battle, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the Pei family already knows about Xu Qingqing's existence!

He felt very remorseful, wishing that he should have been merciful to Xu Qingqing and let her stay in Jiangning!

"I……"

"Your Highness, there is no need to explain." Pei Anlin smiled, but the smile was very ferocious, "Our Pei family is definitely not someone who clings to the powerful. Since you don't want to marry Ning'er, we naturally won't force you!"

"Mother has already said that after returning to Beijing, she will go to the palace to ask the emperor to terminate your engagement with Ning'er!"

Every time Pei Anlin said a word, Chu Yunyi's heart tightened.

He forced a smile and whispered: "General Pei, where is Ning'er? There is some misunderstanding about this matter. I want to explain it to Ning'er personally."

Pei Anlin hated him so much that if it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to kick Chu Yunyi away to avoid being stained by this man.

"Ning'er is still on the fifth floor, and His Highness's confidante is pestering her endlessly!" Pei Anlin snorted coldly, "I'm afraid Ning'er doesn't have the time to listen to your explanation."

Chu Yunyi bowed respectfully towards Pei Anlin and said sincerely: "Uncle, I was at fault in this matter first, and I will never shirk responsibility, but Ning'er is as important to me as life, and I will never

I watched Ning'er leave me because of a misunderstanding, and I hope my uncle will be accommodating and let me see Ning'er!"
