/p>         A hint of panic appeared in Gu Qinghan's eyes, but she still showed her calmness: "Madam... If the Madam... If the Madam doesn't ask, why should I mention you? She... She just cares about you. You are still young, but you are already a marquis and are relied upon by the emperor. Madam always...!"

"Worried that I will ruin the Jinyi family?" Qi Ning smiled and leaned forward slightly, leaning closer to Gu Qinghan. "Sanniang, many people think that the Grandma worships Buddha all day long, without caring about the world, and even I rarely see her. I want to ask you, is she really devoted to worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Qinghan said annoyedly: "Is the Madam in the Buddhist temple fake?"

Qi Ning said lightly: "I heard that there are always many secrets hidden in the deep courtyard. There may not be no secrets in the Buddhist temple." He turned around, pulled over a spring stool beside the bed, sat down by the bed, and said: "Sanniang, in fact, I have a huge secret that is unknown to everyone. Do you want to know?"

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "You have a secret, what do you have to do with me? If you like to say it, I won't ask too much if you don't say it."

"Sanniang will definitely be very interested in my secret." Qi Ning said: "But I am also very interested in the secrets in Sanniang. Would Sanniang tell me your secret?"

"Secret?" Gu Qinghan even squeezed her eyebrows together: "I...what do I have?"

"Everyone has a secret." Qi Ning sighed: "Sanniang, the main reason why I can stay in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion is because of you. If it weren't for your existence, the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion would be worthless in my eyes."

Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she couldn't understand it. She asked, "You... are you leaving me? What are you talking nonsense? You are the Marquis of Jinyi. It is a responsibility you cannot refuse to take on the responsibility of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion."

Qi Ning pondered for a moment before saying, "Sanniang, tell me the truth. When Qi Yu was going to compete with me for the title of Jinyi Marquis, the Manchus and the young and old were all his people, but you always supported me. Is this your own meaning, or is there another reason?"

Gu Qinghan snorted coldly and said, "No reason. You are the eldest son and you should have inherited the title."

"What did the Grandmaster mean at that time?" Qi Ning looked at him without squinting: "Does Grandma belong to me, or do you want Qi Yu to inherit the title?"

"Do you suspect that the Grandma is partial to Qi Yu?" Gu Qinghan sneered: "Don't forget that if the Grandma really wanted to say something at that time, could you still inherit the title? If the Grandma opposes, the current Jinyi Hou will probably be Qi Yu."

Qi Ning sighed and said, "So Sanniang supports me, but after all, it's the only lady who wants to do it."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "I don't have time to talk to you, you can say something if you have something to do."

Qi Ning was calm and said, "Sanniang, you support me in inheriting my title. You are following the Grandma. If one day the Grandma thinks that I am not suitable to take on the burden of the family, or in other words, I have no value in her eyes. If you want to kick me away, will you also deal with me according to her wishes?"

Gu Qinghan's appearance was even more gloomy. She looked around and said tremblingly: "What are you talking nonsense? This... If the lady knows, you...!" She bit her lip and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense to avoid causing trouble." There was a clear look of worry between her eyebrows. Qi Ning saw it and knew that Gu Qinghan could not make a false statement at this time, but he couldn't make a difference for a moment. Is Gu Qinghan worried about causing trouble or was afraid that she would implicate her?

"Sanniang seems to be very afraid of the grandmother." Qi Ning knew that the Hou Mansion must have the eyes and ears of an old woman. He had not yet understood the depth of the old woman, so it was not good to directly confront the old woman at this time, and lowered his voice: "Why are you so afraid of her?"

It was summer, but Gu Qinghan's pretty face looked a little pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly, as if her body was full of chill.

"The Grandma is your grandmother." Gu Qinghan said softly: "You can't talk about her behind your back like this, I... I don't allow you to think randomly like this."

Qi Ning looked calm, but she had her own idea in her heart.

He came to the capital and entered the Marquis' Mansion, and gradually adapted to this role. With Longtai's trust, he still enjoyed the identity of this Jinyihou very much.

But when he realized that behind him, the old lady in the Buddhist temple stretched out a big hand to cover the sky above the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

What he overheard that night made Qi Ning keenly feel that the lady was hostile to Liu Suyi, hated the house and the house, and obviously had no good feelings for herself.

He had even confirmed that the Tai Lady could allow him to inherit the title of Jinyi Hou, and as he expected, he would just push himself to the front desk as a tool to use, otherwise he would not have sent Gu Qinghan to monitor his actions.

Of course, the feeling of being used as a tool will not make Qi Ning feel comfortable.

Qi Ning has never been a person who worked silently and finally gave the fruits he gained to others. Now he is close to Longtai, stabilizing the Jinyi Qi family's position in the court. For this reason, he even has to face the attacks of open and hidden guns and arrows and is in danger. If all these efforts are ultimately used by the Qi family, Qi Ning will naturally be very unhappy.

But until now, Qi Ning still couldn't figure out why the lady had such great resentment towards Liu Suyi, and where is Liu Suyi now?

If you find out the reason why the Taima hated Liu Suyi, it will be very easy to judge the Taima's attitude towards him and can deal with it calmly. Therefore, the Taima sent Gu Qinghan to monitor him. First of all, you must clarify the grudge between Taima and Liu Suyi.

However, Liu Suyi has obviously become a taboo topic in the Hou Mansion. From top to bottom, even Gu Qinghan dared not talk about it. The biggest secret of the Hou Mansion has become a forbidden area that no one dares to touch.

Qi Ning believed that Gu Qinghan might know some truth, so if he wanted to understand the hidden truth, the only breakthrough point was Gu Qinghan.

Qi Ning knew very well that if he wanted to completely control the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he would have to compete with the Tai Lady for power. Only by completely controlling the Tai Lady can he be regarded as the real master of the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion. However, in the current situation, the power of himself and Tai Lady is obviously unequal.

The Tai Madam naturally knew the power at hand, but the power in her hand was a mystery to her.

Qi Ning is not a reckless person, so he naturally knows the principle that one knows oneself and his enemy will never be able to win a hundred battles. Before he understands the depth of the Tai Lady, he naturally cannot easily provoke a fight with the Tai Lady. However, if Gu Qinghan can win Gu Qinghan to become his own person, it will definitely be of great benefit. Gu Qinghan has been in the Hou Mansion for many years and has been in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion of the Hou Mansion. In addition to the Tai Lady, he is the person who knows the Hou Mansion best. If Gu Qinghan can join forces with him and work together to deal with the Tai Lady, the chance of victory will naturally be greatly improved.

Qi Ning had always thought that he had solved the troubles of Qi Yu and the Qi clan, so the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion had become peaceful, but now he knows that the person who poses the greatest threat to him in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion has always been hiding in the Buddhist temple.

Qi Ning pondered slightly and finally said softly: "Sanniang, I heard that there is a place in the capital, and there are often a very interesting trick. Artists who play tricks walk around the streets, but no matter where they go, there will be a group of people watching. It is very lively. I wonder if Sanniang has time to find a day to watch together?"

Gu Qinghan is also a smart person in Bingxue. She had already noticed that Qi Ning was talking about something wrong today. When she heard him suddenly touching the trick, she felt a little strange, but she still tried her best to calm herself down and asked, "What trick?"

"Puppet show!" Qi Ning smiled and said, "Build a shelf, then light a white curtain, and hang the doll with a rope. The shadow of the doll can be projected onto the white curtain, rolling and turning like the doll's own activities, but in fact, the artist is carrying the ropes to control the dolls."

Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled and frowned and said, "Is there such a trick? I...I haven't heard of it."

"That Sanniang should really go out and walk more." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Every time I act, the onlookers are very lively, but sometimes I wonder what those dolls will feel if they are human. They are controlled by others and cannot help themselves. When they use them, the artists will take them out to play with them. When they are not used, they throw them in a dark box, not asking about them...!" At this point, he sighed lightly.

Gu Qinghan frowned, glanced at Qi Ning, and suddenly raised her two slender legs, turned to the edge of the bed, put them down, and got up from the bed. She covered her body with a veil and a beautiful figure. She just got up, her hair was a little messy, and she looked quite lazy. She walked to the dressing table and picked up the wooden comb.

Qi Ning sat behind Gu Qinghan, looking at Gu Qinghan's back, and the lines of her waist were sunk inward. Then, because of sitting on the spring bench, the hips expanded to both sides. The plump and plump hip lines were difficult for the most wise painter to outline so vividly. At this time, the slender waist even highlighted the tightness and roundness of the hip lines, which became a foil.

Gu Qinghan relaxed her arms, grabbed the black black hair, combed it gently, and did not say a word. Qi Ning was not in a hurry, just sat behind and admired her beautiful back curves.

Speaking of this, Qi Ning knew that Gu Qinghan's intelligence could not have no idea what he meant.

"You said something just now." Gu Qinghan's jade hand suddenly stopped and finally said: "The Grandma can let you inherit the Marquis of Jinyi. If she doesn't want to, she can also make you lose everything at any time."

Qi Ning stood up and walked lightly behind Gu Qinghan. The fragrance of the woman's body emitted from her body could indeed make any man feel rippling. Qi Ning looked at the bronze mirror in front, and Gu Qinghan's charming face reflected from the bronze mirror. He carried his hands on his back, lowered his body slightly, leaned close to Gu Qinghan's ear, and whispered: "The things in my hand will never be taken away by anyone. This is the case with the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, even...you!"
