"I still have time to spend with you." Gu Yuan pushed a cup of tea to her.
Jiang Shanshan couldn't help but laugh, his eyes curled up and became even more bright.
"Are you really jealous?"
Gu Yuan paused while holding the tea, and said calmly: "No!"
"Oh, that's good, I think so. We have to take care of the Third Young Master, how can he be such a stingy person!"
Putting the cup down, Gu Yuan raised his eyes and ran into those smiling eyes, and all the discomfort in his heart suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Jiang Shanshan smiled, then moved and sat next to him, next to him, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm glad you can come, even though it will cause you more trouble."
"No trouble!"
"Huh? I heard about it yesterday. I don't know whether Third Young Master Gu is related to me, a poor relative who was kicked out by the Jiang family!"
"Whether you and I are innocent or not, why should anyone else comment?"
Gu Yuan never put those people in his eyes.
Jiang Shanshan was amused, "Aren't you afraid that I will tarnish your reputation?"
"Don't belittle yourself, you are the one I, Gu Yuan, love."
What's more, if he was afraid, he would not send her back to his home in person and bring her back here.
He has never shied away from these things, and has made his attitude clear.
There is no need to be secretive about the woman he, Gu Yuan, likes.
He can afford it and be responsible!
Jiang Shanshan was so adorable that he was so arrogant. She put her head on his shoulder and said with a sweet smile: "It's good to have Mr. Gu around."
These words also made Gu Yuan's eyebrows relax, and he finally dissipated his depression from the morning.
"Go out later and ask your maid to follow you. Don't go out alone."
"What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Jiang is vomiting blood. She already called in the imperial doctor yesterday. Now there are doctors from the Jiang family who are constantly coming and going."
"Oh? You can't say it's us who are making you angry, right?"
Jiang Shanshan raised his head, his eyes full of gloating smiles.
Gu Yuan did not answer, only said: "Today, the Sixth Prince also passed by."
"Huh?" Jiang Shanshan understood, "Are you afraid that he will be harmful to me?"
"The Sixth Prince is used to being superficial, so he won't attack a woman like you, but other people are different."
She was asked to bring that fierce maid with her just in case.
After all, there may be people in Beijing who came because of him.
Thinking of this, he said: "There are enough people to serve you, why don't I send two more maids with some boxing skills to come over."
"That's not necessary, it's troublesome if there are too many people."
Gu Yuan nodded without forcing it.
Jiang Shanshan is thinking about Mrs. Jiang now. She is actually thinking that if she is killed, the Jiang family will have to live in silence for three years.
Then he shook his head, he had no chance when he was in the Jiang family, and now that he has left, there is even less chance.
That's all, don't worry about them for the time being. With Madam Jiang like this, they are the ones who should be worried.
Thinking of another thing, she looked at Gu Yuan, "By the way, you have a good relationship with King Qi?"
"It's okay. His Majesty the Seventh Prince is the best friend with him."
Jiang Shanshan nodded when he heard this. Otherwise, why would he have come to the rescue for King Qi when he almost lost and only had a pair of pants left?
Thinking of this, she said: "Haven't any of you ever suspected that King Qi's luck is so bad?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and his mother, who was waiting not far away, had already ordered the others to go down with a look.
"Shanshan, don't get involved in those things. We are not the Jiang family today."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Shanshan looked serious. Maybe Gu Yuan, no, the Gu family really knew something.
She nodded in seeming confusion, confirming her guess.
The Dog Emperor is indeed still a Dog Emperor!
Do we really want to see this well-behaved apprentice die early?
Thinking of this, she felt worried.
Somewhat reluctant!
"I mean, after all, it's the first time I've seen him with such bad luck. It's so abnormal."
Jiang Shanshan did not say that he had already persuaded King Qi to go to the Taoist priest to inquire about his fate.
It's too troublesome to say.
Gu Yuan looked at her indifferently, and after a moment, he felt a slight sense of helplessness.
There's nothing you can do about her.
"Aren't you going to a gambling house?" he said as he glanced at the sky.
Jiang Shanshan laughed and said, "If you have nothing to do, why not come with me to play and teach you new gambling games? It's very fun."
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan did not refuse.
Except for the Jiang family's private salt matter, he has mostly taken care of it.
Today I just want to accompany her, no matter where I go.
As a result, the servants saw Gu Yuan helping Jiang Shanshan get into the carriage, while he himself was guarding the carriage.
After coming out of the house, there were many people chatting and chatting along the way. Even the windows of the taverns and teahouses we passed by had a few heads sticking out.
Among them, several brothers from the Gu family were also there.
Gu Qing took his two younger brothers with him, but he only glanced at them casually, but the two not only stretched out most of their bodies and went out, but also whistled.
Seeing others leaving, I was busy going to join in the fun.
"Second brother, second brother, let's follow and take a look. Third brother doesn't shy away from it at all. He's really courageous."
"Tsk, who do you think your third brother is? How many people can stop him from what he wants to do?"
I’m not just exaggerating, Gu Yuan’s name can make people gnash their teeth in enemy countries, and it can also make people gnash their teeth in our own country.
Gu Qing took a sip of wine and threw down the money, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Gu Nuo and Gu Ming immediately followed happily.
After arriving at the teahouse next to the gambling house, he changed his clothes and put on his veil. Jiang Shanshan went to the gambling house through the back door first.
Prince Qi, who had been waiting for her early in the morning, and some regular gamblers had already prepared the venue.
Just wait for her to take a seat.
"Girl, please teach us how to wait. I thought you wouldn't come."
"Boss Li is joking, I will never run away without a fight when I am in charge."
The tall and thin man with a goatee laughed and said, "Hahaha, girl, if you have courage, please do it!"
Jiang Shanshan nodded and said, she did not let King Qi go down too. The stakes were high this time. If he goes down, he will be taken advantage of.
After all, he is his apprentice and cannot do this.
After they started dealing the cards, Gu Yuan also arrived at the second floor of the casino and looked down.
At some point, a person stood beside him, looking at the people below him as well.
"Third Young Master just exposed her to others like this. Aren't you afraid that her identity will be revealed and that person will know?"
"Dong Hou's family knows so much, what about you? What's the purpose of getting close to Shanshan?"
Hearing his affectionate name, Hou Mo just smiled and said, "Hou is just a businessman. What purpose can he have? Third Young Master is worrying too much."
"It would be fine if you were really an ordinary merchant, but are you?" Gu Yuan glanced at him sarcastically, "Why, the former imperial merchant can't satisfy your appetite?"
Hou Mo's expression remained unchanged, "Businessmen value profits, so naturally they don't want too much."
"I don't care how much you want, just don't touch my head."
"Third Young Master, do you really think the Gu family can protect her?"
"Whether I can protect you or not, is it up to me, or do you, a businessman, dare to have such delusions?"
Hou Mo pursed his lips and looked at Gu Yuan without hesitation.
For a time, the silence around the two of them became even more silent.
