/p>       Gu Qinghan's body was soft and warm, but Qi Ning felt the panic in her heart from her trembling, and couldn't help but hug her tightly. This time, Gu Qinghan did not push him away, and her body was pressed into Qi Ning's arms, as if hiding in Qi Ning's arms, allowing her fear to be relieved.
The faint fragrance that permeated Gu Qinghan's body penetrated into Qi Ning's nose, making Qi Ning's love for her fill her heart. She couldn't help but raise her hand, gently stroke Gu Qinghan's soft black hair, and said softly: "Everything will be fine. With me by your side, don't be afraid that someone will hurt you..."
Gu Qinghan's soft body trembled suddenly, as if she was thinking about something, and immediately broke free from Qi Ning's arms. Hua Rong was frightened. She turned her head left and right to look at the front and back windows, then patted her chest lightly. Her chest swayed, but her expression was very serious, and she whispered: "Ning'er, don't stay here anymore, leave quickly..."
Qi Ning seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice: "Is Sanniang worried that someone would report it?"
"You've been in my room for too long." Gu Qinghan said softly: "You go back first, wait... I'll talk to you later."
"When?" Qi Ning knew that Gu Qinghan urged her to leave. She was really worried that the two of them would be sued to the grandma for too long. Another reason was that she wanted to think about it alone.
Today, Qi Ning was clear about the cards and told him clearly that he had already understood the arrangements of the Grandma. Gu Qinghan was naturally shocked and would inevitably panic. His mood at this time was of course very complicated, and he needed to calm down and make a good idea.
Qi Ning also knew in her heart that Gu Qinghan was in a very conflicted mood now. From her occasional concern for herself, Qi Ning could be sure that Gu Qinghan did not have the intention to harm her, but in the face of the power of the grandma, Gu Qinghan couldn't help it.
Although the old woman was indeed gloomy and weird, Qi Ning still didn't understand why Gu Qinghan had such a deep fear of her, which was a fear from the bones. Qi Ning was looking for her today, hoping to win her over to her side and join forces to deal with the Madam, but now he was worried that once the night had long dreams, Gu Qinghan would reveal what happened today to the Madam because of her fear of Madam in her bones.
"You go first." Gu Qinghan was weak and smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't think about me, you should think about yourself."
Seeing her helpless expression, Qi Ning sighed and said, "Sanniang, don't let the grandma know what we say today." He leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice, "The old lady regarded you as a tool to monitor me. If she knew that I already knew the secret in the middle, the first suspicion was that you revealed, I was just afraid that she would be against you."
Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, bit her lip, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, today's affairs... I won't say to anyone. You... Remember me, no matter when, don't mention your mother again, don't mention a word." Seeing Qi Ning nodding, he was slightly relieved, looked around and was very alert, and then he whispered: "If...... If I can't tell you myself, and you see someone sending you red date porridge, then... Then you... come quietly that night, be careful not to be seen by anyone."
Qi Ning nodded, knowing that the red date porridge is the next time I see it. He knew that he really couldn't stay here for a long time. He pointed to the lunch box on the table and said, "Get up and eat something yourself, don't... don't starve yourself."
Gu Qinghan pushed Qi Ning's arm and said, "You go quickly, I know."
Qi Ning then left the door and arrived in the yard. When he saw Bingqiao guarding the gate, he thought to himself that Gu Qinghan would leave the maid by his side to serve. This girl should be considered Gu Qinghan's confidant. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, so he should still be more careful. When he walked to the gate, Bingqiao had already saluted and said, "Marty!"
Qi Ning held his hands on his back, glanced at him, smiled gently, and asked, "Bingqiao, how many years have you been with the third lady?"
Bingqiao lowered her head and said, "I came to the Marquis' Mansion with the Third Lady four years ago."
"Four years ago?"
"In the past, I was my cousin's cousin who accompanied the third wife to marry me." Bingqiao explained: "Later, when I got older, the third wife asked her to marry me. My cousin was worried that there was no one to serve me, so when the third wife returned home that year, my cousin asked me to follow my madam with me."
"So that's it." Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking that the maid beside Gu Qinghan was indeed brought by herself. It seemed that Gu Qinghan had been wary of the people in the Marquis' Mansion, so she brought people from her family. She took out a piece of silver from her arms and handed it over. Bingqiao hurriedly said, "I don't dare."
"I usually like the clothes I like, so I will buy two of them myself." Qi Ning said: "I know you can't bear to spend the monthly money on welfare. This is what the Marquis rewards you. In the future, I will serve the third wife well. As long as I serve you well, I will also receive them." He forced it into Bingqiao's hands.
Bingqiao held it in her hand and thanked her: "Thank you, the marquis, I will definitely serve the third lady well."
Although Qi Ning took out a piece of silver at will, it was nothing to Qi Ning, but it was really a lot for a maid, which was a few months of monthly money.
Qi Ning knows that there is no need to say anything sweet to buy people's hearts, and gives them real benefits. Even if the other party doesn't do anything for you, at least he will try his best not to ruin your business.
After leaving Gu Qinghan's yard, Qi Ning walked slowly along the bluestone path with his hands on his back. He seemed to be walking leisurely in the courtyard, but he looked around and listened to all directions. After walking for only a short distance, he vaguely noticed that someone was looking at the nearby forest and behind a rockery.
Qi Ning sneered in her heart.
In the past, he was in the Marquis' Mansion and did not pay attention to whether there were people around him to monitor him. After all, there were many people in the Marquis' Mansion, with more than 200 people from all over the country. Every day, people walked by him. He could not pay attention to the movements of the nearby servants, and never cared about it.
But now he was careful and noticed that someone was surveillance nearby. Only then did he realize that after entering the Marquis' Mansion, he was afraid that he had always been under the eyes and ears of the Grandma. Gu Qinghan was not only coerced by the Grandma to monitor her actions, but there were also other people in the Marquis' Mansion paying attention to her movements.
He knew very well that since he was staring, Gu Qinghan was most likely to be stared at.
I always thought it was the safest place, but now I realize it is the most steep place. The gloomy and strange aura of the Buddhist temple seemed to have spread to every corner of the Marquis' Mansion.
Qi Ning couldn't help but wonder, since there are often people monitoring his actions nearby, is his ambiguous relationship with Gu Qinghan known to others several times before? Did the old woman in the Buddhist temple already know about his underground ambiguous relationship with Gu Qinghan?
When Qi Ning thought that he would be monitored in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion in the future, he became furious and sneered in his heart. He thought that since I had inherited the title of Jinyi Marquis, the Jinyi Marquis Mansion would naturally belong to me. Since he had already occupied the name Qi Ning, I would completely occupy the nest and finally completely control the Jinyi Marquis Mansion.
To make the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion a thing in his palm, we naturally have to control the strange old woman. However, the old woman is not clear about the details and cannot act rashly at the moment. Now she can only endure it for the time being. When the time comes, she will take action.
He knew that the day when he knew the details of the Tai Madam might be the day when he solved Liu Suyi's puzzle. He was patient and didn't have to worry too much. Now it is imperative to win over Gu Qinghan and join forces with him first.
As the sun sets, Ximen Zhanying is wearing casual clothes at this time, sitting at a table in the scallion noodle restaurant, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the old beggar.
Yesterday she made an appointment with the old beggar and met him at this noodle restaurant at the same time today.
She naturally had already received news that Duan Shao really begged the emperor for marriage in front of all civil and military officials at the court meeting. The subsequent development was the same as she thought. The emperor finally issued an order to compete in martial arts in front of the palace three days later.
After she learned the news from Ximen Wuhen, she didn't even say anything more. When the time came, she immediately came to the noodle restaurant to wait.
I don’t know why, but in Ximen Zhanying’s heart, she even felt that the old beggar was more reliable than her father this time. To overcome this difficulty smoothly, she could only rely on the old beggar.
The last trace of sunlight finally set, and it became dark. Ximen Zhanying frowned and was worried that the old beggar would not be able to make an appointment. Suddenly, a beggar walked into the noodle shop with a broken bowl and a wooden stick in his hand. He looked around and saw that Ximen Zhanying was excited when she saw a beggar appearing, but when she saw that the beggar was in her early thirties and was not the old beggar she was waiting for, she was immediately depressed.
The beggar walked to Ximen Zhanying and stretched out his hand holding the broken bowl, "Girl, be fine, enjoy the food...!"
Ximen Zhanying was already a little anxious and upset. When she saw the beggar asking for rewards, she frowned, but thought of the old beggar. She thought that the old beggar was the leader of the Beggar Sect, and this beggar was probably also a member of the Beggar Sect. She took a few copper coins and put them in a broken bowl. The beggar looked around and said softly: "Are the girl waiting for someone?"
Ximen Zhanying was stunned. The beggar said, "Follow me." Without saying a word, he turned around and left. Ximen Zhanying hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the beggar had already walked out of the door, she still got up and quickly followed.
The beggar's foot strength was not slow, and he was walking along the long street. Ximen Zhanying wanted to keep up several times, but the beggar turned around and turned around and was very flexible. After walking for a while, he became more and more remote. Suddenly, he heard a shout and scolding from behind: "Damn it, are you blind? Are you blind?"
Ximen Zhanying immediately turned around, but saw a beggar who came out of nowhere behind him, not far from him, grabbing the arm of a man in gray and short clothes and shouting loudly. There was a man in brown short clothes beside the man in short clothes, looking at him. Seeing Ximen Zhanying stopping and turning around, the man immediately turned his eyes away.
Ximen Zhanying's eyes flashed with a cold light.
She was born in the Shenhou Mansion, and the scene in front of her was instantly clear. The two men in short shirts were obviously following her behind her. She was always restless and only remembered to follow the beggar in front of her, but ignored being followed by others. If it weren't for the beggar who jumped out, she would still be unknown.
