Under Zhou Mu's watch, Gu Xiyan hid in the clean room. After putting on the clothes, she blushed and did not dare to go out. Unexpectedly, there was movement behind her. When she turned around, she was facing Zhou Mu's scorching heat.
Fire eyes.
The next moment, he strode towards her and tore her clothes to pieces with his own hands...
An hour later, Gu Xiyan leaned weakly in Zhou Mu's arms.
She remembered that she still had something serious to say to Zhou Mu, but for a while, she didn't know how to tell Zhou Mu about the complicated situation in Suzhou without leaving any trace.
"What did Madam want to tell my husband before?" Zhou Mu hugged Gu Xiyan contentedly, liking this belated birthday gift very much.
After Gu Xiyan considered it, she pushed Rong Song out: "Earlier, the young master said that he was going to Suzhou to investigate the case. I heard Rong Song mention it before. The Rong family seemed to have contacts with some powerful people in the capital. I suddenly thought
, could it be that the Rong family was involved in the case five years ago?"
Zhou Mu looked solemn: "Rong Song really said this to you?"
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that Rong Song didn't say anything, but she knew it was true that the Rong family had problems.
"Can I still joke about this kind of thing? If the Rong family really has contacts with the powerful people in the capital, I don't know what kind of powerful people it is that have made the Rong family's position among the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou unshakable for so many years. Furthermore, Wuxi has the Jin Dynasty
Wuxi, the most important grain market, happens to be under the jurisdiction of Suzhou Prefecture. What I am worried about is Suzhou. Wuxi and the capital have formed a close network of relationships, and there may even be collusion between officials and businessmen. If a powerful person in the capital is a backer of the Rong family,
The young master needs to be fully prepared when he goes to Suzhou, otherwise he will fall into the trap of a tiger." Gu Xiyan expressed her worries in one breath.
Zhou Mu was thoughtful after hearing this, and the look in his eyes at Gu Xiyan had no meaning.
Gu Xiyan pushed him: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why is my little wife so smart?" Zhou Mu kissed Gu Xiyan hard on the lips.
Gu Xiyan didn't dare to say that she was smart. She just took advantage of the rebirth and knew some truths, so she gave him a heads up.
"Let's do this. I'll go see Rong Song tomorrow and ask him more details." Zhou Mu made a decision.
Gu Xiyan's face changed slightly and she hurriedly said: "No!!"
Zhou Mu looked sideways when he heard this: "Why are you so nervous?"
This girl didn’t think he would do anything to Rong Song, right?
"Don't you still have to coordinate the government? I'm usually too busy to ask Rong Song about the details. Let me tell you. This way I won't delay your important affairs. What do you think?" Gu Xiyan said.
, pressed Zhou Mu under him, and took the initiative to give him a peck on the lips: "Husband, can you let me help you too?"
Zhou Mu suspected that Gu Xiyan was using a honey trap on him, but he liked such honey traps very much.
"It's a very important matter, I still have to ask Rong Song in person." Zhou Mu said and was about to kiss him back.
Seeing that the beauty trick didn't work, Gu Xiyan immediately pushed him away, her pretty face a little cold: "It seems that my husband thinks that I am of no use to a woman, so he doesn't want me to help him."
Seeing that she was angry, Zhou Mu coaxed: "Xi Yan, you are thinking too much. You also know that our lives are at stake on this trip to Suzhou. It would be fine if I was alone, but because you are also going with me, I need to ensure that you
It’s only safe.”
"So I want to ask Rong Song again, don't you still believe me?" Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Mu resentfully. The beauty trap didn't work, so she simply used the bitter meat trap.
When Zhou Mu saw her pitiful look, his heart softened and he blurted out: "That's all, go and ask for me."
The next moment, the woman rushed towards him and kissed him on the left and right sides of his face, making him flattered and said: "My husband is so kind."
This girl has never taken the initiative with him like this. It seems that his decision is right.
"My husband suddenly discovered a problem. When she needs something from her husband, she will call her husband. When she has nothing to do, she will call her husband and son. Is that so?" Zhou Mu looked directly at Gu Xiyan and asked.
Gu Xiyan kissed Zhou Mu passionately on the face several times: "Young Master is so handsome!"
Zhou Mu laughed deeply, how could the wife he married be so interesting?
Shortly after entering the palace at dusk the next day, Gu Xiyan washed herself properly and left the house after breakfast, intending to find Rong Song to give a confession.
After listening to Gu Xiyan's words, Rong Song couldn't help his curiosity: "Are you really able to predict the future?"
Even his expelled Rong family didn't know that the Rong family had colluded with the Zheng family. Why would Xiyan know?
Gu Xiyan didn't know how to answer this question and was at a loss for words.
Rong Song saw her troubled look and said, "Okay, I'll just ask. If His Highness really comes to me to ask about this matter, I will answer according to your words. It will be the ninth day of the lunar month soon, what about that matter?"
According to the original plan, are you sure it is this time?"
Gu Xiyan looked firm: "Let's act according to the plan and avoid this future trouble."
Because the plan has not yet been implemented, I am afraid there are still variables, and now we can only see one step at a time.
Gu Xiyan didn't stay too long. Before leaving, Gu Xiyan specifically asked Su Mei to come to the flower-viewing banquet on the sixth day of the lunar month.
"I will definitely come." Su Mei escorted Gu Xiyan to the carriage.
That afternoon, after Gu Xiyan took a lunch break, she found Qiushi in the east wing and whispered: "On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, you ordered someone to prepare the carriage early in the morning. I am going to meet an important person that day."
There is a small tea room next to the east wing. Liu Huiyan is preparing water in the tea room. When she heard Gu Xiyan's words, her eyebrows jumped slightly.
She hid herself quietly, her heart beating fast.
Qiushi glanced around, and when she saw no one there, she asked in a low voice: "Is the girl going to see Mr. Yan?"
"Be careful, walls have ears. Just prepare the carriage as soon as possible. I have to go to Bafang Hutong that day..." Gu Xiyan's voice became weaker and weaker as she spoke.
Liu Huiyan pricked up her ears and eavesdropped, but she didn't even hear clearly what Gu Xiyan said behind her.
But she was sure that the person Gu Xiyan was going to meet might be Mr. Yan.
Although she didn't know who Mr. Yan was, the second sister said that whenever Gu Xiyan had any unusual behavior, she should report it to her.
It happened that on the sixth day of the lunar month, the Zhou Mansion held a flower viewing party, so she could secretly deliver the news to her second sister.
The sixth day of March was the day when Gu Xiyan held a flower-viewing banquet in the Zhou Mansion, and many famous ladies in the capital received flower-viewing invitations.
Originally, Gu Xiyan didn't want to invite the daughter of the Zheng family, but later she felt that it was too obvious. It would be unsightly for Concubine Xian to blow pillows in front of Emperor Cheng De. It would be better to treat everyone equally and show her magnanimity as the eldest princess.
Handed the flower card.
As for whether the daughters of the Zheng family and the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family attend the flower-viewing banquet, it is not her problem.
On this day, Zhou Mu also specifically asked for leave from Emperor Chengde, invited some colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue, and also invited some young men from aristocratic families to come to his house for tea.
