It was late at night, and Kong Shuhuan was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. First, she had already heard about her cousin's matter from her mother, and was naturally very shocked afterward, but the matter had not been discussed to a conclusion today.
She didn't expect her cousin to be so courageous, but her cousin's shameless behavior affected the Kong family.
Although she has already engaged, it is unknown whether the Zhu family will have any prejudice against her in the future. After all, this matter is disgraceful. Taking a daughter-in-law like her out to socialize in the future will affect even the reputation of the Zhu family.
to be damaged.
The second reason was that she went to Hanlan Pavilion and met Gu Chengyu during the day. She tossed and turned, mostly because of this.
Suddenly, a sound came from the window, and Kong Shuhuan was frightened for a while.
The girl Ying Yue also heard the noise. After all, in the quiet night, the slightest noise might wake up the girls on duty. They are usually in a light sleep.
She could hear the sound of her girl frying pancakes on the bed.
Ying Yue sat down in the outer room and approached Kong Shuhuan's bed holding a candlestick, "Miss?"
She thought the noise was from a girl, so she put on her clothes and came in.
When Kong Shuhuan heard Ying Yue's voice, she became bolder. Just now she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word. Otherwise, if a man came into the house, wouldn't he have to attract everyone in the house?
By the light of the candle held by Ying Yue, she glanced at the window and found that there was a crack in the window and a small note on it.
"Huh? When did this window open? It's cold at night, so the girl should be careful about getting cold."
Ying Yue followed Kong Shuhuan's gaze and didn't notice the note on the window. Instead, she saw that the window was open a crack.
She thought her girl was greedy for the coolness, so she opened the window. She walked forward and was about to close the window, but unexpectedly there was a piece of paper stuck above it.
She was a little confused and wanted to open the paper and take a look. But then she thought of something and felt something was wrong. Her girl could not have clipped the note to the window.
"Girl?" Ying Yue panicked and closed the window tightly, fearing that someone would jump in through the window.
"Don't panic!" Kong Shuhuan held the scissors in her hand tighter and listened attentively to what was going on outside.
After a while, both of them could only hear their own breathing and heartbeat.
Kong Shuhuan put down the scissors she took out from the sewing basket. The other party probably had no purpose and might have left. Otherwise, her two weak women would not be able to stop her.
"Show me the note." Kong Shuhuan relaxed her body and leaned on the pillow. She felt that her back was wet with sweat.
Ying Yue calmed down and picked up the note she just threw away with shaking hands.
Kong Shuhuan took it and took a look, "I will keep this matter secret for now. Miss Kong doesn't have to worry. I apologize for disturbing you!"
As soon as she saw this, Kong Shuhuan remembered what she had been worried about before. It was obvious who sent this note.
To be able to deliver him in the middle of the night and treat the guards in the mansion as if they were nothing, this person must have very high martial arts skills.
After Jin'er came back and heard her mother tell the general story of what happened, she realized that Gu Chengyu had the ability to knock Ji Mingxuan unconscious, and he could also freely enter and exit through the window, which showed that Gu Chengyu's martial arts was not weak.
But in the end, her cousin was plotted, and she was a little confused. Could it be that Gu Chengyu did this too?
After thinking for a long time, she somehow believed that Gu Chengyu would not do this. It must have been her cousin's own idea and some combination of circumstances that contributed to this. After all, Gu Chengyu had no reason to do this.
Gu Chengyu and his cousin were strangers, so there was no need to frame her cousin.
Looking at the signature below, I only wrote the word "Hanlan".
Kong Shuhuan didn't need to think about it to know that this was a hint about what happened in Hanlan Pavilion today, but she didn't even leave a signature, which showed that Gu Chengyu was a thoughtful person.
Looking at the font again, it is a regular small script, not a popular style in the capital, and there is nothing special about it.
"Girl? Who wrote it?" Ying Yue looked at Kong Shuhuan and was a little worried. Her girl was already engaged. Could it be that she had an affair with someone?
But she later denied it. She has been following her girl. Even when she is not on duty, there is another big girl following her. Where does the girl get the chance to meet the foreign man?
Kong Shuhuan knew that if she didn't let Ying Yue know, she would always be worried, so she handed over the note in her hand.
Ying Yue took it and said, "Eh? Is this what it is?"
Ying Yue felt happy in her heart. Her girl was tossing and turning before. The girl didn't say anything, but she knew she must be worried about this matter. Now that Mr. Gu has directly talked to the girl, the girl should be able to sleep well today.
Kong Shuhuan nodded, and couldn't help but feel that Gu Chengyu had thought carefully. This Gu Chengyu was a good person, and it was Zhu Pang's honor to be friends with him.
After Ying Yue was happy, she casually placed the note above the candle. They had already read the note, so it was better to burn it to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble.
When Kong Shuhuan saw that Ying Yue was about to burn the note, she quickly stopped her.
"Wait! What is this?"
Ying Yue was very confused, "Girl! It's not safe to keep this note."
Kong Shuhuan was just stunned, "Oh! That's true, it's almost fever! I'm tired, you should go to sleep too!"
The cry just now was just a subconscious reaction, and she regretted it very much after she shouted it. Ying Yue did not do anything wrong. She didn't know why she shouted stop, but she would not think about it deeply.
After Ying Yue burned the note, she suddenly thought of something. She glanced at the girl who was covering her head with a quilt and was getting ready to sleep, and she sighed softly.
Turning around and leaving the room, that majestic figure appeared in his mind. Mr. Gu is indeed a good man, but that has nothing to do with the girl, and it has nothing to do with him.
Gu Chengyu was reading books related to the previous dynasty in the study when Ming Mo suddenly appeared in the room dressed in black.
"My lord! The matter is settled."
Gu Chengyu hummed and closed the book, "You weren't discovered by the guards at her house, were you?"
Ming Mo quickly replied, and then asked Gu Chengyu directly.
"Sir, that is Mr. Zhu's fiancée, you?"
In fact, Ming Mo knew that the question he asked was out of line, but he had to remind his young master that he was his good friend, and he could not just watch the two of them turn against each other.
Gu Chengyu knew that Ming Mo had misunderstood as soon as he saw Ming Mo's hesitation.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glared at Ming Mo angrily.
However, he also knew that Ming Mo was doing it for his own good, so he patiently explained to Ming Mo.
"In your eyes, this is who I am? My eyelids are not so shallow, right? Don't worry, something happened to Miss Kong during the day, and I happened to catch her. I am giving her a drink
This is a reassurance to prevent her from worrying about gains and losses, which may lead to estrangement in her life with Zhu Pang in the future."
Ming Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh after hearing this, "It's okay!"
