This is a good suggestion. If you want to thoroughly investigate the case of Princess Wuyang, you must investigate the origins of Wu Liulang, but...
If he was going to Northern Qi simply for business, Gu Qiancheng would nod without hesitation, but Qin Jiyan said this purely out of selfish motives.
Under Qin Jiyan's expectant eyes, Gu Qiancheng couldn't say no, but he couldn't nod in agreement either. He could only say: "Let me think about it."
"Okay." Qin Jiyan knew Gu Qiancheng's concerns and did not press forward. He raised his head and looked outside the house. Qin Jiyan stood up and said, "Let's go, I will take you back."
This time it was definitely a coincidence, because Qin Jiyan planned to go to the Cheng family in person, tell Mr. Cheng his decision, and at the same time ask Mr. Cheng to cooperate.
No matter what, Mr. Cheng is also a veteran, and Qin Jiyan wants to give him face.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Feng Mansion. Qin Jiyan did not get out of the car. He only said to Gu Qiancheng before getting off, "Qiancheng, just make your decision and leave everything else to me." He would deal with the obstacles in going to Northern Qi.
Clear them one by one.
Gu Qiancheng didn't answer, just nodded slightly and jumped out of the carriage. Qin Jiyan opened the window and watched Gu Qiancheng enter the Gu family's door through the small grid before asking the coachman to drive away.
As soon as Gu Qiancheng entered the door, the housekeeper came forward and said: "Miss, the third young master is here and waiting for you in the yard."
"Why are the Third Young Master back? Are you aggrieved or something happened?" Gu Qiancheng frowned, and his tone was a bit stern. The chief steward hurriedly said: "The Third Young Master is not injured. He looks worried.
I didn’t dare to ask any more questions.”
"Well," Gu Qiancheng felt relieved and asked as he walked, "Is the old man okay?"
The eldest butler followed Gu Qiancheng, keeping half a step away from each other. "The old lady is very good. At noon, the eldest gentleman had dinner with the old lady. He looked very good."
"Where's Madam?" Gu Qiancheng knew that this meant that her "father's" illness was getting better.
"Madam walked around the yard twice today. The doctor said that Madam is recovering very well and she will be fine in another two days of rest." The first housekeeper reported the truth and added after hesitating for a moment, "Miss, the second lady's natal family is
My cousin met the eldest man in the garden in the afternoon. The two of them said a few words, but the servant was too far away to hear clearly. "
"Hmph... Second Aunt is really worried." Gu Qiancheng finally understood who Gu Qianmeng learned those tricks from. Like mother, like daughter, Second Aunt is really...
"Let your servants be smarter and don't let my father get into trouble with others." Gu Qiancheng confessed with a serious face, as if he was thinking about Gu Guogong, but everyone knew the truth.
The butler didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.
The eldest steward sent Gu Qiancheng to the backyard, stopped, bowed and sent Gu Qiancheng away. Gu Qiancheng stepped into the Moon Gate, thought for a moment, paused, turned around and said, "Tell the eldest master and madam
, I'll go and say hello tonight." After the illness is cured, we will still live in the same courtyard, so it is important to speak clearly.
Knowing that Chengyi was waiting for her in the courtyard, Gu Qiancheng did not go to see the old man and Cheng Huan, but sent her servant to tell the old man that she would take Chengyi to the old man's yard for dinner in the evening.
It was a coincidence that Gu Qiancheng had just left when Gu Chengyi returned to Gu's house. After Gu Chengyi greeted the old man, he went directly to Gu Qiancheng's yard to wait for someone.
Jing Yan did conquer a few servants in the Gu family, but these people were serving in the outer courtyard. They couldn't enter the backyard where the female relatives lived, and even if they wanted to persuade Gu Chengyi, they would have no chance.
Gu Chengyi retreated and sat alone in the room waiting for Gu Qiancheng. As time passed, Gu Chengyi gradually calmed down and began to think about things he knew bit by bit. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became...
…
It seems he did something wrong.
If Brother Jing Yan is really the assassin who assassinated the emperor, would Brother Jing Yan know that he came back from Donglin Academy in such a hurry?
He came back to find Sister Qiancheng and told Sister Qiancheng what happened. Didn't this bring danger to Sister Qiancheng?
Also, Brother Jing Yan had lived in their house before. If people knew that Brother Jing Yan was the assassin who assassinated the emperor, then their whole family would be involved.
The more Gu Chengyi thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was acting recklessly and without any sense of propriety. If this caused trouble to his family, he would definitely not be able to forgive himself.
Gu Chengyi's whole body was lost in imagination, and his mind was filled with images of the Gu family's miserable consequences due to his involvement.
When Gu Qiancheng came in, he saw that Gu Chengyi's eyes were blank, his face was pale, his hands were trembling, as if he had been greatly frightened, and his whole person was a little abnormal.
"Chengyi," Gu Qiancheng's expression changed, he strode over and slapped Gu Chengyi hard, "Chengyi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your sister, don't scare your sister."
Gu Qiancheng patted Gu Chengyi on the back, and when he saw no response, he pinched his arms and face again, "Chengyi, don't be afraid. My sister is here. No matter what happens, she will be there. Don't do this."
Gu Qiancheng looked worried. Chengyi's situation was very bad. He was stunned, as if he was stunned.
"Sister..." Leaning into a familiar embrace and smelling a familiar scent, Gu Chengyi gradually came back to his senses. His dull eyes rolled around, but he couldn't react for the moment.
When Gu Qiancheng pinched him, Gu Chengyi had completely come to his senses, cried out "Wow" and hugged Gu Qiancheng tightly, "Sister Qiancheng, you are finally back, I'm so scared, I'm so scared.
"
He was afraid that because of his recklessness, he would harm Sister Qiancheng and harm the entire Gu family.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sister is here." Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to ask what happened, but just hugged Gu Chengyi to comfort him.
"Sister Qiancheng, you're okay, I'm not afraid." Gu Chengyi was frightened by his own assumptions. Although he was hurt, he calmed down after seeing that Gu Qiancheng was okay.
"Sister Qiancheng, I'm sorry." Gu Chengyi pushed Gu Qiancheng away. Seeing that he had wet Gu Qiancheng's clothes from crying, his face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
"I hope you're okay. I'm scared to death, sister." How could Gu Qiancheng care about these details? He helped Gu Chengyi sit down on the short couch. Gu Qiancheng patted his shoulder and said, "Sit down first. Sister, I'll give it to you."
Twist a handkerchief and wipe your face, you'll look like a little cat from crying."
Gu Qiancheng joked and secretly paid attention to Gu Chengyi's actions. When he saw Gu Chengyi lowered his head in embarrassment and rubbed the ground with the toe of his shoe, Gu Qiancheng was completely relieved.
Chengyi should be fine, at least he won't lose his mind due to fright.
Gu Qiancheng twisted the handkerchief and poured another glass of water for Gu Chengyi. After wiping away the tears and snot from his face, Gu Chengyi's red eyes became more obvious.
Gu Chengyi was really crying just now.
After drinking a glass of water, Gu Chengyi's mood calmed down, but he did not dare to look at Gu Qiancheng and lowered his head nervously, like a child who had made a mistake.
Gu Qiancheng sighed secretly and sat down next to Gu Chengyi, "Chengyi, can you tell your sister what happened? Why did you scare you like this?"
Say? Can he say?
Gu Chengyi turned to look at Gu Qiancheng, then looked away silently...
