Gu Qiancheng felt uneasy when she came back from the palace. She was afraid that the old emperor's words were true and he really wanted her to investigate the case of the Goddess Tower alone.
Let’s not talk about whether she can investigate the case. Just say that she is a little girl with no power, no influence and no connections. How can she investigate the case?
Gu Qiancheng was pretending that something was going on, and it was a big deal. When he got home, he felt a little depressed. In order not to let his family see it, Gu Qiancheng returned to the yard early on the grounds that he was tired.
On the road, he met Jing Yan who was out for a walk. Jing Yan looked like he had something to say, but Gu Qiancheng didn't want to talk to him, so he nodded to him and left. When he was approaching his yard, Gu Qiancheng saw him again
Gu Qianmeng was waiting for her there.
What is this all about? Why did she run out one after another when she didn't want to pay attention to anyone?
Although Gu Qiancheng was irritated, he did not avoid it. He stepped forward and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?" Gu Qianmeng was afraid of her now and would stay away from her even if nothing happened. He did not dare to come to see her alone.
"Sister Qian..." Gu Qianmeng turned around, her face turned red. She knew that Gu Qiancheng had little patience with her and did not dare to talk about her. She said bluntly: "It's about Jing Yan."
Can you talk to Mr. Jing Yan about the young master? I have no idea of marrying him. I will go to my parents and talk to him to reassure him."
Gu Qianmeng mustered up a lot of courage to say this. If Jing Yan hadn't been too obvious recently and bad words were spread among the servants, she wouldn't have been like this.
Because of Jing Yan's arrival, Gu Qianmeng was not happy at all even though she was in her own home. She was cautious in everything she did, fearing that someone would make a mistake.
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng responded happily, but just as Gu Qianmeng breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Gu Qiancheng add another sentence, "Do you think he will believe it?"
There was no ridicule, just stating the facts, but that was what made people embarrassed. Gu Qianmeng's face was about to burn, and his eyes were red, "I, I just made a mistake once, and I will never do it again."
"So what?" Gu Qiancheng raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Qianmeng, not every time you make a mistake, you can be forgiven by others. The price of making a mistake is higher than you think. I don't know if you have listened.
One mistake can lead to eternal hatred, and some mistakes can ruin your life if you make one mistake. You are doing something for another village, and others don't tell anyone about it because of the Feng family's face, but you also know that they know it privately.
"
Although Gu Qiancheng didn't deliberately inquire, he knew something about it. You must know that the last time Gu Qianmeng offended was the Kong family. Because of this incident, the Gu family has been blacklisted by those big families for marriage. In a short period of time,
No one would be willing to marry the Gu family.
"I, I was also deceived," Gu Qianmeng burst into tears. After returning home, she figured it out. If Miss Lin hadn't always said that the Kong family was good, she would never have done such a stupid thing.
, "I didn't know what was wrong with me at the time. I did something wrong when I lost my mind. I really regret it now. Sister, for the sake of us being a family, please help me. I will never do it again."
Dare you."
"As long as you know that you are being deceived, you should be careful when you go out to interact with people in the future." Gu Qiancheng did not sympathize with Gu Qianmeng at all. If Gu Qianmeng had not had such thoughts, he would not have listened to what others said.
The sentence makes my heart move.
I don’t know how many girls who went to other villages that day fell in love with Kong Junce, but did any of them take action?
No!
Because they all know that even if they succeed, they will have to pay a huge price. If you marry into the Kong family in this way, you will always be inferior to others in the Kong family in the future.
Gu Qianmeng was sobbing and choking, with tears and snot all over her face. Gu Qiancheng pressed her sore temples and said politely: "It's getting late. You should go back and have a good rest. You should also make it clear to your second uncle and second aunt.
, the two of them have no thoughts, Jing Yan will naturally not guard you anymore, and the servants will not dare to say nonsense. During this period of time, I would like to advise the second aunt to go out less when there is nothing wrong, and wait until others forget about this matter."
There is nothing wrong with a little girl wanting to marry a good husband. What is wrong is that Gu Qianmeng does not have the ability, but wants to challenge the rules and push herself into such an embarrassing situation.
"I understand." Gu Qianmeng stepped back with red eyes. During this period, her body, which had lost weight rapidly during this period, looked unusually thin. Gu Qiancheng glanced at it and then looked away.
Back in the yard, after taking a bath and changing clothes, Gu Qiancheng did not rush to sleep. Instead, he sent the servants away and then took out a book to read.
She wanted to wait and see if Qin Jiyan would come.
Time passed quietly, and Gu Qiancheng had finished reading more than half of the book in his hand. Gu Qiancheng was still the only one in the room who was silent.
Gu Qiancheng did not give up and continued to wait...
However, His Highness King Qin, who used to come to Gu's house every now and then, seemed to have no intention of coming tonight. Gu Qiancheng waited until late at night, but still did not see His Highness Qin's figure.
After finishing a book, Gu Qiancheng put down her hands and stood up and took two steps. She stood at the door but did not open it. She knew that Qin Jiyan would not come tonight.
With a hint of unnoticeable disappointment, Gu Qiancheng turned on the lamp and went to sleep.
Prince Qin's Mansion, after Qin Jiyan came back from the palace, as soon as he got off the carriage, the butler hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is urgent news."
"Well," Qin Jiyan responded softly and walked towards the study without changing his clothes. As soon as he sat down, he saw the butler handing over an opened letter, "Your Majesty, a little beggar brought a letter in the evening.
Letter, I have checked the letter and there is nothing wrong with it."
It is usually difficult to deliver such letters of unknown origin to Qin Jiyan, but today it was such a coincidence that the housekeeper happened to be out and met a little beggar who used people's money to deliver letters for others.
The chief steward has checked the letter and it has not been poisoned. The chief steward has also read the contents. It is precisely because he has read it that he is so anxious.
Qin Jiyan took out the letter and found that the words on the letter were actually printed. His eyes changed. He read the letter in one glance and his face became uglier as he read it.
"Your Majesty?" The chief steward raised his head and glanced quietly, and saw Qin Jiyan reading the letter again. This time he read it very carefully, not daring to miss every word.
The chief steward knew the content of the letter and why Qin Jiyan was so serious. He stood quietly in the study and did not dare to disturb Qin Jiyan.
It was just one page, and it took Qin Jiyan enough time to read a stick of incense.
"Pah," Qin Jiyan slapped the letter in his hand on the table with his backhand, his voice as cold as ice, "Immediately send someone to check. I want to know if what is written on it is true?"
"My servant understands." The chief steward had long expected that His Highness Qin would not let go of even a trace of anything related to the former prince.
"Find someone to come forward and buy Laotan Noodle House, and give the place to me." Even if it is a scam, Qin Jiyan must find out...
"No." The chief steward didn't know what else to say besides this word. His Highness would not listen to anyone's advice regarding matters related to the late prince.
After Qin Jiyan gave two orders in a row, his eyes fell on the letter in his hand...
