Zheng Dan didn't understand the connection between wearing Chu Chuyan's clothes and overcoming the current difficulties, but now, she had no other choice. Her mind was in confusion and she could only subconsciously follow Zu An's instructions.
However, women's clothes in this era were not easy to change, and she couldn't finish it in a short while, so she simply hid behind the screen.
Zu An was thinking that it would be best to keep the Sang family outside and prevent them from meeting each other. After all, this "Pinru's Wardrobe" had never been used before, so he didn't know how effective it would be.
As soon as I reached the door, the door was pushed open violently.
A beautiful figure rushed in first. Zu An held her down and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
As a result, the beautiful figure screamed in surprise, hurriedly backed away, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and stared at him with a blushing face, ashamed and angry.
The anger value from Sang Qian is +44+44+44……
The girl who bumped into her was naturally Sang Qian, the young lady of the Sang family. Zu An didn't expect such a coincidence and directly pressed her in some inappropriate places.
“What are you doing hiding behind the door!” Sang Qian was also on the verge of crying, as if she had thrown herself into her arms.
“Who told you to just barge in like this? I was just about to open the door.” Zu An originally wanted to raise an army to punish him, but at this time his momentum was weakened by three points.
“Ahem!” Sang Hong’s voice came in at this moment, “Master Zu, please don’t blame me. Qian’er got a little impatient and bumped into Master Zu. I’m here to take care of her.”
Sang Qian looked aggrieved. It was clear that her daughter had been taken advantage of, but in the end she had to apologize to the other party. This feeling was really unpleasant.
Zu An looked weird. If Sang Qian was said to be impatient, I would still believe it. How could Sang Qian, who has always been resourceful and resourceful, be impatient?
This old fox made it clear that he would let his daughter take the lead, so that even if he broke into the mansion directly, he would not be able to get into trouble.
“Master!” At this time, several servants came after them with sticks and looked at the two men with unkind expressions. After all, letting them break into the house was already a huge dereliction of duty.
"It's okay, we are all old friends. You can go down." Zu An didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he directly motioned to the servants to leave first.
Then he looked at the father and daughter and said with a half-smile: "The two Feng Feng Huo Huo rushed in directly. People who didn't know better thought you were here to catch an adulterer."
Zheng Dan's heart skipped a beat behind the screen. This guy really dares to say anything. If he is really discovered later, it depends on how you end up.
Sang Qian's pretty face turned red and she looked away with a guilty conscience.
Sang Hong, the old fox, was obviously much thicker-skinned, and replied with a smile: "Master Zu is still so fond of joking. We heard that you were seriously injured in the secret realm. It's a pity that you are always in the palace and we can't see you. Today, you are here
We came here to visit after hearing the news that you were coming out. This girl Qian'er was too worried about you, so she acted recklessly. I hope you won't be offended."
"Dad~" Sang Qian stamped her feet anxiously. Although she understood her father's intention of pushing her out as a shield, the girl was still thin-skinned after all.
Sang Hong coughed lightly and pretended not to see it.
Zu An felt like a bright mirror in his heart and said with a smile: "Hey, are you the only two here today? Why don't you see Miss Zheng?"
Behind the screen, Zheng Dan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. This guy really didn't know how to open or lift any pot. He was completely playing with fire now.
Sang Qian gradually recovered: "My sister-in-law left early today. By the way, has she come to your place?"
As he spoke, he looked around without leaving any trace.
Zu An smiled and said, "How could your sister-in-law come to my place?"
Sang Qian's expression was half-smiling but not smiling: "That's not necessarily true. My sister-in-law and you are... good friends."
Zheng Dan, who was behind the screen, touched his forehead with his hand. His sister-in-law was so smart that she always felt as if she knew something.
Zu An laughed and said, "Of course. Your sister-in-law and I were inmates for many days on the way to Beijing. We have shared weal and woe. Naturally, we are good friends. Miss Sang and I are also good friends."
Zheng Dan behind the screen couldn't help but blush when he heard his words. The scene when the two of them were on the carriage together came to mind. This guy is really a little bad guy.
Sang Qian spat, thinking to herself, I don’t want to have a good friend relationship with you.
Sang Hong, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly looked behind the screen: "It turns out there are other guests in Master Zu's room. I don't know who they are."
Zheng Dan’s heartbeat was so obvious at that moment that Sang Hong could naturally detect it with his cultivation level.
Sang Qian also looked at the screen suddenly, her expression extremely complicated for a moment.
What if it’s really my sister-in-law inside? How will it end later?
Zheng Dan was so nervous that he almost fainted. His mind was buzzing. He was discovered by his father-in-law and sister-in-law. What should he do? What should he do?
Although her marriage to Sang Qian looked like a farce from beginning to end, and was in name only, the key point is that the marriage has not been officially solved yet. If she is caught, not only her reputation, but also the reputation of the entire Zheng family will be ruined.
Destroyed.
Zu An laughed and said, "Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from Mr. Sang. It's Chu Yan inside. She just came to see me. We were making out when you came. She's a little embarrassed."
Sang Qian secretly took a sip, wondering who she was trying to deceive. Miss Chu was in Mingyue City, how could she be here?
Sang Hong's eyelids were also twitching. Of course he would not believe that it was Chu Chuyan inside. It was more likely to be his daughter-in-law Zheng Dan.
Although he actually doesn't mind that they interact in private, since his son is dead now, it is better to maximize the role of his daughter-in-law and let her become the link between Zu'an and the Sang family.
But all this cannot be put on the table, but for the other party to say in front of him that he and Zheng Dan were making out just now, it would be too much.
Seeing the change in his expression, Zu An smiled and said, "How about I call Chu Yan out to meet him? We are all acquaintances anyway."
Sang Hong's expression changed and he said hastily: "No, no, no."
Sang Qian also said hurriedly: "Sorry to bother you, how about we come back another day?"
As she said that, she made a gesture to leave. If Zheng Dan came out in this situation, she wouldn't know how it would end.
Daddy is getting old, and it would be the end if he would be so angry when he saw this scene.
Who knew that Zu An was reluctant to let her go: "Hey, of course I have to meet her, otherwise I would have thought it was your sister-in-law here."
As he spoke, he came behind the screen and pulled Zheng Dan out.
Zheng Dan’s mind buzzed, leaving only a blank space.
“What is he going to do?”
“Why do you want me to meet the Sang family and my daughter?”
“It’s over, it’s over, I won’t be able to see anyone anymore.”
…
However, the scolding or ridicule she imagined did not come, and the whole room even became silent.
After all, she was once the leader of a gang in the underground world of Mingyue City, so she thought that this matter would have to be solved, so she might as well take advantage of this opportunity.
But before she opened her mouth, she saw the Sang family's father and daughter looking at her in shock: "It turns out it's really Miss Chu. We, father and daughter, were rude just now. I hope you won't be offended."
Zheng Dan: “???”
Zu An patted her hand: "We are all friends, there is no need to be so formal. What is the reason for Mr. Sang coming here this time?"
Zheng Dan followed him and sat down next to him in a fog, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind. Why did the Sang family call themselves Miss Chu? Could it be that they didn't want to openly contradict each other and were acting according to Zu An's words? Oops, it's embarrassing.
If he dies, he seems to have found a crack in the ground and crawled into it.
“The main thing is to come here to visit you and bring you some healing medicine.” Sang Hong said while calling his daughter.
Only then did Sang Qian come to her senses and hurriedly handed over the gift she had prepared: "This bottle of thousand-year-old snow toad essence is a rare treasure that my father accidentally obtained many years ago. It has miraculous effects on healing wounds and warming the body. Brother Zu, take a good rest."
.”
She was a little strange in her heart, why Miss Chu didn't say a word, and her expression seemed a little different from what she had seen before.
Noticing the strange color in her eyes, Zu An smiled and said, "Sister Qian'er's wrists are whiter than this thousand-year-old snow toad spirit."
Sang Qian instantly blushed and retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted. Sure enough, her attention was diverted.
“What a Meng Lang disciple.”
“Who is your sister Qian’er?”
“Do you think I’m as easy to deceive as my sister-in-law?”
…
She kept thinking about it secretly.
Seeing this scene, Sang Hong looked strange, thinking that he had already given away a daughter-in-law, could it be possible that he should also give away his daughter?
He coughed lightly: "Azu, do you know why the emperor did not publicly hold King Qi to account this time?"
He was worried about offending himself when he called him Master Zu or nephew, so he directly called him Azu to close the relationship between the two parties.
Sang Qian obviously understood what her father was thinking. She glanced at him and lowered her head again.
Zu An smiled and said, "I don't understand what Mr. Sang said. Why does the emperor want to hold King Qi accountable?"
Sang Hong smiled: "I know you have concerns, but you have shown great kindness to our family. We, the Sang family, are only grateful to you and have been thinking about how to repay you. What's more, in this capital now, all the people
The forces on the other side are intertwined, and those of us with no background should unite to help each other."
Although he didn't know exactly what happened in the secret realm, it was not difficult to guess that King Qi must have taken action in the secret realm, and the last ones to come out were Zu An and the prince and princess, which proved that his plan failed.
Seeing that he had spoken to such an extent, Zu An stopped acting: "Uncle Sang, don't blame me. Now I am walking on thin ice in the capital, and I can only be careful every step I take."
Hearing that he even called his uncle, Zheng Dan couldn't help but roll his eyes. You must know that a few months ago, the two sides were mortal enemies, but now they are as close as a family. This world is really amazing.
Sang Hong said: "We do not have irreconcilable conflicts. On the contrary, there are many things that can be united, so we need to be united."
He used to be a loyal and lonely minister of the emperor wholeheartedly, but an accident happened and his only son died. In the final analysis, it was because the emperor gave up on him without hesitation. He understood that there was no point in continuing to be a lonely minister, so he had
Change of mind.
It is a pity that he offended too many nobles when he was a lone minister in the past few years, and it can almost be said that the capital can no longer tolerate him.
But Zu An is different. He is a rising star, and he has the Chu family behind him. He seems to have a good relationship with the National Academy. More importantly, the two sides have shared the joys and sorrows on the road to Beijing, and to some extent have established a comparison.
A solid friendship, so the other party is a very worthy investment target.
Zheng Dan on the side was a little surprised. The other party's statement was already very sincere, and he had clearly seen her, but still cooperated with the acting. It was obvious that he had acquiesced in the relationship between the two. She felt happy, grateful and apologetic in her heart, and subconsciously looked at her.
Zu An's eyes were full of pleading. She also hoped that Zu An and the Sang family would maintain a good relationship.
Zu An pondered for a moment and smiled: "I benefited a lot from my uncle's guidance on the situation in Beijing on the way to Beijing. I will definitely need more help from my uncle in the future."
Sang Hong, who was originally tense, breathed out secretly. The other party had acquiesced in the joint relationship between the two parties, and everything would be easier to handle.
At this time, Zu An no longer concealed anything: "I have always been puzzled by the question that my uncle just raised. It stands to reason that the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and this time they can justifiably get rid of King Qi. Why did the emperor let him go?"
Good opportunity.”
As for Zhu Xie’s sincere threat, he didn’t take it to heart at all now.
Actually, he also had his own answer to this question. He was wondering whether the emperor had lost a soul, which caused his strength to weaken significantly, and he was not completely sure that he could defeat the King of Qi.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t discuss this with Sang Hong.
Sang Hong said: "This is normal. Do you know that the situation in the capital has been very tense during this period. All kinds of armies are being mobilized frequently in private. The entire capital is like a powder keg. It only takes one spark to cause a direct explosion.
Detonate."
"The King of Qi has been in power for many years and has become extremely powerful. Half of the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty have been dragged into the pirate ship by him. If the emperor makes an attack now, other people in the King of Qi's group will be worried about being implicated, so they can only bite the bullet and fight hard with the King of Qi.
Bo, that situation is something the Emperor absolutely does not want to see."
Zu An did not expect that during this period, both sides had already begun to mobilize their troops and prepare to go straight to the fight.
"But can we just forget about it? With the emperor's temperament, it is unlikely that he will suffer such a big loss." Zu An asked.
Sang Hong smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at his daughter with a questioning look: "Qian'er, what do you think?"
Sang Qian was startled, but still replied: "Of course the emperor will not let it go like this. If nothing else, he will avoid direct large-scale conflicts, but adopt a strategy of removing money from the bottom of the cauldron and first disintegrate several major forces of the King of Qi Group.
Then we will settle accounts with Qi Wang Qiuhou."
She glanced at Zheng Dan and then said: "The Qin family is the first to bear the brunt of the Qi King's group. The Qin family is too deeply entrenched in the military. It is also because of the Qin family that the emperor is so hostile this time."
Zheng Dan was a little confused, wondering what the Qin family wanted to see me doing. Could it be that they really thought I was Chu Chuyan?
Zu An asked hurriedly: "Then how do you think the emperor will deal with the Qin family?"
The Qin family is Qin Wanru's original family after all, and they are very good to Chu Chuyan, Chu Youzhao and others. If something happens, they will definitely be sad.
Sang Qian shook her head: "There is too little information at present to judge yet, but what is certain is that the first person the emperor will deal with will definitely be the Qin family, and it will not take too long."
"Continue." Zu An also sat up straight. Obviously the other party's analysis was very useful for future actions, and he could not belittle it.
"Next is the Yu family. If the Qin family represents the military power, then the extremely wealthy Yu family represents the financial power of the Qi Palace," Sang Qian continued, "Of course it could also be the Pei family. After all, the Pei family is in the court.
He has great influence in government affairs."
The faces of Yu Yanluo and Pei Mianman appeared in Zu An's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little agitated for a moment. Why were the people he was friends with all from Prince Qi's party, but he had irreconcilable relations with Prince Qi and his son?
contradiction.
Sang Qian then analyzed a lot more. Zu An felt that he benefited a lot and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Qian'er is indeed worthy of her reputation. She is really Zhuge among women."
"Who is Zhuge?" Sang Qian was stunned. She corrected him several times, but she still kept calling her sister Qian'er, so she simply didn't bother to care.
“Well,” Zu An thought for a while and explained, “a person who is so wise that he is almost a demon.”
Sang Qian’s pretty face was slightly red, and she looked a bit shy: “I’m not that good either.”
"Sister Qian'er is so humble." Zu An suddenly found that it was quite interesting to tease this little girl. She was so mature when it came to military affairs, but she was like a shy little girl on weekdays.
Sang Hong coughed slightly and interrupted his teasing: "Azu, I have a special status. If I meet you for a long time, I will easily be jealous of the emperor. So in the future, you can discuss anything with Qian'er.
My knowledge is no longer inferior to mine."
“Okay.” Zu An laughed. It would be more fun to deal with beautiful girls than with old men.
However, he felt a small hand pinch the thin flesh around his waist, and Zheng Dan's sour vitality message came to his ears: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm creating an opportunity for you to have private contact."
At this time, she gradually understood Sang Hong's plan, and she felt a little uncomfortable. It was obviously me who came first.
Sang Hong hesitated for a moment and then spoke again: "By the way, the Zheng family has also developed some business in the capital, and Zheng Dan has been running around. It's not easy for her to be alone now. Azu, if you are willing, you can help take care of her."
one time."
Sang Qian looked at her father in surprise. Although she had some suspicions in her heart, she didn't expect her father to say it anyway.
Although it is not stated explicitly, everyone is smart and knows what it means.
Zheng Dan even lowered his head, so embarrassed that he wished he could slip through a crack.
At the same time, I was also a little happy. The mountain that had been weighing on my heart could finally be lifted.
Zu An looked strange: "Well, I will do my best to take care of her."
Sang Hong nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, we won't disturb your husband and wife reunion."
“Let’s sit for a while and eat before we leave.” Zu An pretended to persuade him to stay. How could the father and daughter not know about it? Naturally, they couldn’t stay.
After the two of them walked out of the door, Sang Qian quietly said to her father: "Dad, why does Miss Chu look a little strange today?"
Sang Hong nodded: "It's indeed a bit strange. He seems to be afraid of us."
“Hey, what is Miss Chu?” At this time, a confused voice came from the side.
The father and daughter looked back and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth glaring at them. Next to them was a beautiful young girl with straight legs and wheat-colored skin.
"It turns out to be the Third Young Master Chu. We just went to visit Mr. Zu and saw your sister inside." Sang Qian replied with a smile. There is nothing to hide. Because of Zu An, they also love the Chu family.
.
"My sister has come to the capital?" Chu Youzhao's eyes lit up and he didn't care to talk to them anymore. He ran into the house in a hurry.
On the other side, Zu An was holding Zheng Dan's hand: "Dan'er, your father-in-law gave you to me in front of me. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Zheng Dan spat: "It's not that unpleasant. He just asked you to take care of me. Don't think wrongly."
Despite what he said, his heart was still beating fast.
"By the way, I always feel that the whole thing is weird. Why don't they look angry at all when they see me? It's as if...as if I really am Miss Chu." Zheng Dan was full of doubts, the whole thing was too weird.
.
Zu An was about to answer when a fiery voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister, sister?"
