"What's going on?" Lian Xin was a little worried. She hadn't arrived at the Liang Mansion yet!
If they arrived, there would definitely be a mother-in-law waiting outside to say hello. But at this moment, they didn't hear her voice at all, which was too abnormal.
"Uncle Yang! What's going on?" Yao Mengxian also realized something was wrong. She pulled off the hairpin on her head and held it in her hand.
Qingdai's face turned pale with fright, and she shrank back into the corner of the carriage.
"Girl! It's okay, I almost bumped into someone."
Uncle Yang looked at the young man in front of him and felt that this young man was really brave. The carriage was going so fast, if it ran into it, it would be death or injury!
Just as the coachman was about to scold him a few more words, the young man spoke first.
"Is this Miss Yao San in the carriage?"
When Yao Mengxian heard this voice, she unexpectedly felt that it sounded familiar. It was just that she had heard it somewhere before, but now she felt panicked and couldn't remember.
"Who are you? Why did you stop the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
When Lian Xin heard that the other party revealed the girl's identity, her heart tightened.
It's just that a girl is a lady, so naturally she can't talk to men at will.
Lian Xin did not directly return to who was in the carriage, but used the name of Zhen Guo Gongfu as a banner.
"Miss Yao, don't panic, the villain is Ming Yan!"
Ming Yan heard Lian Xin's voice and couldn't help but put a smile on her face. This little girl was quite cautious.
Ming Yan? Yao Mengxian suddenly remembered, isn't this Gu Chengyu's entourage?
Thinking of this, Yao Mengxian relaxed.
"But something happened?" She was a little surprised. Gu Chengyu asked his entourage to stop her carriage. What did this mean?
Suddenly the curtain in front of the carriage moved and something was pushed in.
Yao Mengxian was a little puzzled and stopped when she saw the curtain was just shaking.
Lian Xin had quick eyesight and quick hands. She picked up the paper that was stuffed in and handed it to Yao Mengxian.
She was afraid that someone outside would be harmful to the girl, so she moved to the outside of the carriage in order to block the people outside.
Yao Mengxian took the piece of paper and found that it was a flower note.
She opened it curiously and took a look, and found that there were only a few words written on it in block letters, "See you at the Yuanxiang Teahouse at the second quarter of the year."
This made Yao Mengxian a little confused. She was a little unsure of Gu Chengyu's meaning. This should have been written by Gu Chengyu, right? She was a little unsure.
After all, it is in block letters. If you are not very familiar with Gu Chengyu's calligraphy, you will not be able to tell who wrote it.
"Ming Yan?" Yao Mengxian shouted, but found that there was no response from outside, and the carriage started moving again.
Yao Mengxian took a closer look at the flower note and found a white viburnum in the lower right corner.
She suddenly turned the Tuanhua note over and took a look, yes! This method of painting Qionghua was indeed done by Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu painted Qionghua that day, and she was lucky enough to see it a few times.
Although the painting method can be imitated, Gu Chengyu should be the only one who can paint so lifelike and expressive using this painting method.
Qingdai's eyes were fixed on the flowered note, and she was very shocked.
Could it be that before she knew it, the girl had already had an affair with Mr. Gu? Qingdai's eyes flashed slightly, and she grabbed the handkerchief absentmindedly.
Yao Mengxian walked quickly to the main room and was quickly hugged by the woman.
"Sister Xian, you are finally out of the house." Mrs. Ning held her granddaughter's hand and choked with tears.
"Grandma!" Yao Mengxian hugged Ning, feeling uncomfortable.
"Okay! We haven't seen each other for a few days, what are you doing?" Liang Zhirui quickly stopped talking, so as not to delay the business.
"Grandpa? How is your health?"
Yao Mengxian heard Liang Zhirui's voice and turned around to look. She found that although the old man was not energetic, he was still standing in front of her.
She turned around and stepped forward, holding Liang Zhirui's sleeve and looking up and down.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just saying this to get you out of the house, otherwise it won't be easy for us to see you."
Seeing the worry in his granddaughter's eyes, Liang Zhirui felt warm in his heart.
Because I felt guilty when I forced the young disciple before, I felt somewhat relieved.
Yao Mengxian noticed that her grandfather seemed to have more gray hair on his head than before, and she felt even more guilty.
"It's my granddaughter's fault that makes her grandfather and grandmother worried."
Liang Zhirui waved his hand, "Why are you saying this? I have no chance of surviving."
"Yes! I called you here today because I have something to tell you." Ning took Yao Mengxian's hands and patted them gently.
Although Gu Chengyu was still worried about his marriage yesterday, he felt refreshed when he woke up this morning and was full of energy during the day.
He has already thought about it. What's the use of always worrying about this? It's better to be more open-minded.
What he should be most concerned about right now is his career, and he shouldn't be so entangled in these trivial matters.
When he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Gu Chengyu heard some news that was beneficial to him.
"I didn't expect that the emperor would act so quickly this time. The corruption and bribery case in Hejian Mansion has been widely implicated, and our Hanlin Academy has also been affected."
Zhang Hai pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for Gu Chengyu to sit down, but he shook his head and sighed.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this, "Oh? There are also officials from our Hanlin Academy involved? I don't know who it is."
Zhang Hai glanced at Gu Chengyu and replied with a smile: "I heard that you and Mr. Lu were also involved in the Hejian Mansion case. I guess you know the inside story better than me?"
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, and then said very calmly: "My lord, I don't know something. Lord Lu knows the details of this better than Xiaguan. Xiaguan just takes advantage of Lord Lu. He also has only a little understanding of what is going on here, so he can't tell for sure. You don’t know much more!”
Gu Chengyu was not lying when he said this. He and Lu Chen had obtained the incriminating evidence at that time.
He had never seen Lu Chen's half. Mr. Zhang said that officials in the Hanlin Academy were also affected, so they must be in Lu Chen's share.
Anyway, he didn't see him here.
"Huang Guanfa, a co-prefect of Hejian Prefecture, has served in Hejian Prefecture for many years. He has looted a lot of property in the local area. This person has some disagreements with Liao Cheng, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture. This time something happened to Liao Cheng. He had previously To add insult to injury, the people behind Liao Cheng are not easy to mess with?"
Zhang Hai snorted coldly, "His own butt is not clean in the first place, isn't it? Someone who offended someone will be stripped naked from the outside to the inside. It is impossible to turn over."
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment and then asked: "Is it possible that Huang Guanfa has a close relationship with anyone in our Hanlin Academy?"
Zhang Hai Ruzi nodded instructively, "Fang Huai, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Huang Guanfa are brothers-in-law."
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he suddenly realized.
But then he remembered that Fang Huai was the teacher of his hometown examination. Fang Huai had a good impression of him at that time, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in the Hejian Mansion case.
