"Except for the princess, no one in the Pei family looks down upon me. Don't they know?"

Gu Zhiyuan clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Sheng Yu quickly lowered his head: "Master, if you plan more carefully, you will definitely be able to accomplish what he ordered."

"The eldest princess has never wanted to see me. She even refuses to see me. How can I find out what's going on in Pei's house?"

The more he talked, the angrier Gu Zhiyuan became.

"What's the point of forcing me? Is it possible that I can sneak into the Pei family?"

His eyes were red. He couldn't sleep at night these days, and he had to deal with complicated official duties every day. His strings had been stretched to the tightest.

"My subordinates are aware of your difficulties, but in that person's eyes, if you don't follow orders, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he will let that matter out!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan's eyes widened and he stared at Sheng Yu fiercely: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Sheng Yu rolled his eyes, moved closer to Gu Zhiyuan, and replied extremely cautiously: "Sir, the princess and the county lord are both in Pei's Mansion now. You might as well take this opportunity to visit Pei's Mansion."

"That person is fully aware of your actions. You have already gone to the Pei Mansion. Even if no evidence can be found, I believe that person will not embarrass you again."

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and knocked on the desk gently, thinking carefully.

He soon smiled and changed his ferocious look: "You are indeed my confidant who has been with me for more than ten years! You have a good idea!"

Sheng Yu bowed to the side and did not forget to remind: "Our informants have sent news that the princess and the eldest princess are having an unpleasant quarrel. Master, you must seize this opportunity!"

"This is natural." Gu Zhiyuan sneered, "Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is extremely rare!"

With that said, he pushed open the study door and walked towards the side door with his head held high.

Gu Qingqiu hid behind the rockery and watched Gu Zhiyuan leave. She bit her lip and sneaked into the study.

Pei Mansion.

Gu Ning looked at the gems that were offered up like flowing water and was slightly surprised.

"If the county master likes it, you can take all of these." Xie Yan stood beside her with his head bowed and asked in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Gu Ning blinked.

What kind of madness did Xie Yan have today? Could it be that he was finally moved by his sincerity that made people cry to the gods?

Xie Yan's expression remained unchanged and he let her look at him, just like a beautiful sculpture.

Gu Ning touched his chin, thoughtfully: "Is this a token of love you gave me?"

Before Xie Yan could answer, she asked and answered herself: "Since it is a token of love, I will accept it all!"

Xie Yan looked a little flustered. He had never expected that Gu Ning would respond like this.

"It's not a token of love, it's just something that I got by chance when I was working for the general. I always remember the county lord's life-saving grace that day, so I took these gems as a thank you gift."

He answered sternly that no matter what, he just refused to give Gu Ning any opportunity to take advantage of him.

But Gu Ning was very good at climbing up the pole. She played with these gems in the palm of her hand. The luxurious gems became more and more translucent in the sun, matching her fair skin. Xie Yan almost did not dare to look directly at them.

Just when Xie Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing, Gu Ning smiled and said: "There is a sentence in the script that I think is right."

"The grace of saving one's life should be pledged with one's own body."

Xie Yan's heart beat violently, but after a moment, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are only humble, how can they be worthy of the county master? What's more, the county master has been engaged for a long time.

From now on, it’s better for the county leader not to say these things.”

"So you are worried about the engagement." Gu Ning automatically ignored the words he said before the thank you banquet, and a twinkling smile appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, "Don't worry, my engagement with Chu Yunyi will not count soon.

.”

"At that time, you must remember your promise today."

Even though he was as calm and self-possessed as Xie Yan, at this moment he almost fell into the eyes of those peach blossoms with their flowing eyes.

He subconsciously took a step back, but Gu Ning refused to give up and followed him forward.

Unknowingly, the distance between the two was only one foot wide.

Xie Yan was about to push Gu Ning away, but Gu Ning grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers.

Gu Ning took this opportunity to reach out to Xie Yan's waist and abdomen.

"County Master!" Xie Yan's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Men and women are not allowed to be intimate!"

Gu Ning opened her eyes wide and pretended to be innocent: "I just want to see how your injury is doing. Is this wrong?"

While speaking, she had quickly opened Xie Yan's clothes.

Only the smooth muscle lines were looming, and Gu Ning's eyes followed these muscles all the way down.

Xie Yan saw the light in her eyes and it was clear that she was still wearing an inner coat, but he felt as if he had been looked down upon by Gu Ning.

In anger, he stretched out his hand and firmly held Gu Ning's troubled hands.

Before he could speak, Gu Ning stood up on her tiptoes and gently pressed a kiss on his lips.

"Congratulations to the host, your luck value has returned to zero!" The system sprinkled flowers in front of her eyes, "From today on, your body has completely recovered, and you no longer have to worry about lingering on the sick bed!"

"you……"

"Ning'er! What are you doing!"

Outside the door, there were broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, and Pei Anyang froze on the spot.

Oops!

Gu Ning was shocked. Before she could rejoice, she fell into another dilemma.

Pei Anyang came to his senses at this moment and walked quickly into the house.

She raised her hand and saw that a slap was about to fall on Xie Yan's face. Gu Ning immediately turned around and protected Xie Yan behind her.

This slap hit Gu Ning firmly on the face.

She groaned in pain and covered her face.

"County Lord!" Xie Yan subconsciously held Gu Ning's face.

Gu Ning's skin was fair, and Pei Anyang's angry slap made half of her face instantly red and swollen, making her look very scary.

Xie Yan felt extremely distressed. He looked at Pei Anyang, with anger rolling in his eyes.

"Ning'er..." Pei Anyang stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Gu Ning, but saw Gu Ning take a step back, but her movements did not change, and she still firmly protected Xie Yan behind her.

Seeing this scene, Pei Anyang's guilt was instantly overcome by anger.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Ning, what do you mean? Are you going to disobey me for a guard?"

Gu Ning covered her face and said in a low voice: "Mother, let him go first."

Hearing this, Pei Anyang felt his eyes darken: "Now that things have happened, you still want to protect him?"

"This matter has nothing to do with him." Gu Ning whispered, "I am the one pestering him."

Pei Anyang's anger reached its peak, and she looked at Xie Yan fiercely, like a female wolf protecting her cubs.

"Who sent you?" She vented her anger on Xie Yan, "You actually seduced the county master into unconsciousness!"

"You go first!" Gu Ning pushed Xie Yan out.

However, she tried her best, but the two of them still stood motionless.

Gu Ning was dumbfounded and said angrily: "If you don't leave, are you going to stay here and wait for punishment?"

"I..." Xie Yan wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

He pursed his thin lips and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Gu Ning behind him.

"This is all my subordinate's fault. Please punish me, Princess."

Xie Yan bowed slightly, but his tall body still covered Gu Ning airtightly.

Pei Anyang sneered, his face extremely ugly: "Don't think that my elder brother values ​​you, so I won't punish you!"

"Come here, drag him out and hit him fifty times!"

But none of the guards outside the door dared to move.

Pei Anyang didn't wait for the guards to come for a long time, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

At this moment, Gu Ning seized the opportunity and trotted from behind Xie Yan to Pei Anyang's side.

"Mother, please listen to my explanation!" Gu Ning took Pei Anyang's arm and shook it, with tears faintly appearing in her beautiful eyes.

For more than ten years, Pei Anyang had only seen Gu Ning acting coquettishly when she was a child. Now that he saw her, his anger dissipated a lot in an instant.

But even so, she still kept a straight face: "I saw it with my own eyes, how else do you want to explain it?"

"Besides, you actually disobeyed me for a man!" She said bitterly, "Is it just because he is good-looking?"

"Mom, it's better not to let others hear the whispers between mother and daughter." Gu Ning looked at her pitifully.

Pei Anyang sneered: "Do you think you can let me let him go with this look?"

Even so, her tone was obviously much more relaxed.

Gu Ning seized the opportunity and shouted outside: "Yue Ming Yuerong, please take Xie Yan away quickly!"

The two brothers who had been waiting anxiously outside suddenly rushed in from the door.

Xie Yan's handsome face was as cold as ice. He was about to speak when he saw Gu Ning winking at him slyly.

After being stunned for a moment, he was carried out by Yue Ming Yuerong.

There were only mother and daughter left in the house. Pei Anyang was still furious when he thought about the scene just now.

She opened Gu Ning's hand angrily and asked coldly: "Don't you know that you are already engaged to Prince Duan?"

"If what happened today is not seen by me but by someone else, then your life will be ruined!" She gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor will never allow his future daughter-in-law to have an affair with a guard!"

Gu Ning lowered his eyes, looking pitiful.

"Are we only allowed to let Chu Yunyi play with women and not allow me to have someone else that I like? He is unkind and unjust to me. What's wrong with this?"

Pei Anyang was startled and murmured: "What you said makes some sense."

But soon, she turned cold again: "That's not what you said!"

Seeing that Gu Ning was still looking at her stubbornly, she rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly: "Don't you know that this world is unfair to women?"

"If King Duan flirts with women, the world will only laugh at him for his coquettishness. But as a woman, if you act like this when you are engaged, everyone will just poke your spine and scold you for being a playboy!"

"But I heard from my grandmother that many princesses in Beijing have male pets!"
