There are not many people in this world who can take care of the eldest son of the Feng family and ask him to deliver a letter to Gu Qiancheng. You don't need to open the letter to know that this must be a letter written by Jing Yan, but...
What Gu Qiancheng couldn't understand was why Jing Yan kept looking for her?
She has clearly stated that she does not want to have a close relationship with Jing Yan, so why does Jing Yan still bother her?
"Is it because of King Qin?" If that's the case, it might be faster for Jing Yan to go directly to King Qin to establish friendship than to start from her. Her guard against Jing Yan has already been made clear.
"I really don't understand what you want to do." Gu Qiancheng shook his head and opened the letter.
As Gu Qiancheng expected, Jing Yan explained the reason for going to Xihu. The reason was that he wanted to investigate what happened fifteen years ago. He received some news. Unfortunately, before he could take action, the King of Qin destroyed it.
.
Gu Qiancheng was not surprised that Jing Yan would want to investigate what happened fifteen years ago. Jing Yan's adoptive father was also a good brother of the first prince, so it was normal for Jing Yan to investigate this matter. What surprised Gu Qiancheng was that,
Jing Yan's attitude towards Qin Jiyan.
Ordinarily, Jing Yan's adoptive father and the late prince were good brothers. Even if Jing Yan and Qin Jiyan could not become brothers, they would not be so cold or even hostile. Gu Qiancheng did not believe that with Jing Yan's ability and Feng Sijin
With his help, will Jing Yan not be able to get close to Qin Jiyan?
In the letter, Jing Yan specifically stated that he had no expectations for Qin Jiyan and was not using this to send a message to Qin Jiyan. In other words, he was purely explaining it to Gu Qiancheng and did not want to pass it through Gu Qiancheng.
, gained Qin Jiyan’s trust.
"I'm afraid he doesn't take the King of Qin seriously." Jing Yan remained calm despite such a big mistake, which showed that he definitely had someone to rely on.
In addition to the matter about Xihu, Jing Yan also talked about the upcoming scientific examination. He hoped that after the imperial examination, he could find Gu Qiancheng and get together with Feng Sijin.
If she only said this, Gu Qiancheng would pretend that she didn't see it. She didn't want to get too close to Jing Yan. Jing Yan was too dangerous. She always felt that Jing Yan was playing with fire, and she didn't want to take risks at all, but...
…
Jing Yan added later: Just think of it as a thank you gift for Yan Yin.
"Is it Jing Yan?" Gu Qiancheng's hand tightened and the letter was crumpled into a ball by her, but she quickly let it go.
No wonder, no wonder Liu Yanshang exposed so many flaws, no wonder the matter is so easy to investigate, no matter what evidence is found, it turns out...
It was all Jing Yan who helped behind the scenes!
"How could I forget that he is the owner of Jingzhuang in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Jingzhuang does not do salt business, it does maritime business. In Jiangnan, he can compete with the wealthy merchants in the hands of King Zhou and bribe the people under King Zhou.
There is only Jing Yan."
In this way, Liu Yanshang's matter can be easily explained.
King Zhou wanted to use Liu Yanshang to trick the Gu family and cut off the fifth prince's biggest source of money, but...
Jing Yan played another trick behind his back and sent some of King Zhou's possessions to Qin Jiyan.
"Is this an apology? An apology for what happened to Xihu?" Gu Qiancheng made a bold guess. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was just like this. Otherwise, everything would be too coincidental, but... Jing Yan underestimated King Qin too much.
Without Jing Yan's intervention, Qin Jiyan would still have gained something in Jiangnan.
The Meng family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, a family that could play the regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty to death, is not a vegetarian family.
Gu Qiancheng put the letter away and prepared to show it to Qin Jiyan. As for what Jing Yan said in the letter, not to show it to the King of Qin, Gu Qiancheng believed that this was absolutely ironic.
In the Feng family, Feng Sijin and Jing Yan were chatting. Gu Qiancheng's reaction after seeing the letter. Jing Yan only said: "Qiancheng may believe five points about Xihu." Although he made it up to be reasonable, Gu Qiancheng didn't believe it.
There is no evidence, but this kind of thing does not require evidence, only suspicion.
"At most three points, I don't even believe one point." Feng Sijin objected. He had tested Gu Qiancheng and knew her attitude.
"I didn't do anything? Are you so suspicious?" Jing Yan looked depressed, his face looking pale after a serious illness.
"You've already done it, no matter how clean it is, it's useless." Feng Sijin didn't know Jing Yan's specific plan, but the two of them were friends after all, and Feng Sijin could guess a few things.
Doing nothing is definitely not Jing Yan's habit.
"I was really tricked by King Qin about Xihu. I never thought that he would spend so much effort to make Emperor Xihu believe that I was the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin." Jing Yan shook his head and sighed, unable to understand why.
, where did he reveal his flaw, which aroused the suspicion of King Qin.
If Jing Yan knew that Qin Jiyan simply disliked Jing Yan, he would probably be extremely depressed.
Feng Sijin saw that Jing Yan was in a low mood and couldn't say anything else. He could only comfort him: "Don't think too much, maybe King Qin just doesn't like you."
But this comfort is worse than no comfort at all, "Would you believe it if it were you?" Just because you don't like him, you waste manpower and material resources to make things happen? This is definitely not what people like them think.
What people like them do has no purpose.
"I don't believe you." Feng Sijin answered simply, "And your explanation will only make King Qin doubt you even more. King Qin will definitely see your letter to Qiancheng."
"Will Qiancheng really tell King Qin?" King Jing is not so sure. Gu Qiancheng is not a fool. She should understand that it is not a smart thing to get too close to King Qin at this time.
"Isn't this what you want to see?" Otherwise, bother explaining what to do.
"No, I'm only 50% sure."
"Now, you can have 100%. Qian Cheng's feelings for King Qin are extraordinary." Feng Sijin, as a bystander, could see it more clearly.
"Prince Qin? He is not a good match." Jing Yan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, as if his things had been taken away, but he had lost the qualification to take them back.
His adoptive father once asked him that if there were any problems with Qian Cheng's marriage to Prince Zhao, he would come to propose marriage and marry Gu Qian Cheng.
His adoptive father had understood it early and knew that King Zhao would not let his eldest son marry a eldest son without any help. This marriage would inevitably cause problems, but...
He didn't agree.
After problems arose in the marriage, he did not follow his adoptive father's request.
Feng Sijin glanced at Jing Yan indifferently, half-squinted his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "If King Qin is not a good match, are you a good match?"
"I'm not, but you are." Jing Yan suddenly came back to his senses, looked directly at Feng Sijin, not allowing Feng Sijin to dodge, and said firmly: "You are attracted to her!"
"So what?" Feng Sijin did not deny it, but he also did not admit it: "Compared with King Qin, I am not a good match."
"As long as you are willing, you can do it." If it were Feng Sijin, Jing Yan believed that he would be able to say blessings.
"I can't do it, because she... won't be willing." Feng Sijin lowered his eyes, hiding the loneliness in his eyes.
He didn't think that Gu Qiancheng, who knew the truth about the five-year agreement between the Feng family and the Feng family, would still choose to marry into the Feng family.
How could such a proud woman be willing to settle for an engagement with ulterior motives?
