First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 914 Daughter Control (Second Update)

 “Do you know him?” Liao Chen looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said: "Oh, he has been keeping an eye on Bishui Hutong for a long time, and he even bought a golden abacus from the clearing. He calls himself Mr. Mingyue."

Liao Chen looked at the other party again, his eyes cold: "You came for Jingkong? Who are you?"

Mr. Mingyue also recognized Gu Jiao. He rubbed his chest, straightened up and said angrily to Chen: "I'm not here for that little monk! I'm here for you!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　「Me?

Master Mingyue said angrily: "I have been inquiring about your whereabouts for the past few years! I finally tracked you to your temple, but you rarely showed up, so I had to keep an eye on your apprentice! I followed you from Zhaoguo Yan State, they are staring at this place from Yan State again..."

It's just that Liao Chen's whereabouts are too secretive. Even if he keeps staring at the small clear space, there will always be times when he misses something.

 Lie Chen asked in confusion: "Why are you staring at me? I don't know you."

Mr. Mingyue said coldly: "You don't know me, but you injured my people and took away my things! Return my things to me quickly! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"

“It turns out it’s about you two.” Gu Jiao gathered her murderous aura, hugged the red tassel gun, and started watching the show in a leisurely manner.

Liao Chen was not a person who could be threatened. He raised his red lips in a mocking manner and said, "Oh? You said I took your things, do you have any evidence?"

Mr. Mingyue's face darkened: "That guard is dead. There is no witness, but you know best whether you have taken it or not!"

Liaochen smiled faintly: "What did I take from you?"

Mr. Mingyue said angrily: "Sword!"

"Sword..." Liao Chen smiled casually, "A lot of people did give me swords. I wonder which one was given to me by your guard?"

Mr. Mingyue said angrily: "What was given to you? You obviously robbed it!"

Liao Chen looked at him with a half-smile, not at all offended by his words.

 Master Mingyue also knows that he is now the passive party, his skill has been affected a bit, and he is no match for these people now.

 You can't beat them, you can only reason with them.

Mr. Mingyue turned to look at Gu Jiao: "Girl, I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy an abacus from your brother. Later you took the abacus back, but you didn't give me a penny of the silver. How could you earn it? For paying me such a sum of money, can you at least prove my character to him?"

"Oh." Gu Jiao said to Chen, "As you can see, he can still bear the beating."

Mr. Mingyue: “…”

He took a deep breath: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. That sword is the sword that my...father spent a lot of effort to find. My father passed away, and it is my only thought in the world. , you can make a price, I am willing to make a deal with you."

This man spoke generously, and Liao Chen became a little interested: "What does your sword look like?"

Master Mingyue said: "The black iron sword has sapphire blue peacock feathers engraved on the scabbard and hilt!"

Liao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, it seems that I have indeed seen such a sword."

A trace of eagerness flashed across Mr. Mingyue’s eyes: “As long as you are willing to give it back to me! I will pay you any amount of silver!”

He spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that you came late. The sword is not in my hand. I thought it was too heavy, so I threw it away."

Mr. Mingyue was startled: "Throw it, throw it away? How could it be... You'd better not lie to me!"

Gu Jiao thought to herself, "What's the point of lying to you?" Is it strange for a prodigal monk who can even throw Fuxi Qin into a charcoal basin for firewood to throw you a sword?

Liao Chen said innocently: "I didn't lie to you. Believe it or not, I really threw it away."

"Where did you throw it?" Master Mingyue asked.

Liao Chen smiled: "I don't remember this. I threw away so many things, where can I remember them one by one?"

Mr. Mingyue choked: "You!"

"Let's go." Liao Chen ignored him and led Gu Jiao out of the alley.

“You really don’t remember?” Gu Jiao asked.

Liao Chen said calmly: "I won't tell him even if I remember."

 Dare to attack his disciples without knowing whether to live or die!

If I didn’t kill him today, it would be an advantage to him!

"Go in." Liao Chen sent Gu Jiao to the door of his house. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell her, "It happened several years ago. In the Yan Kingdom, I didn't take the initiative to **** it. It was his guards who brought it to the door. His guard bullied a helpless old man in the tea shed, but I couldn't stand it and taught him a lesson. I wasn't interested in weapons, so I sold them to an iron shop near Shengdu."

Gu Jiao had an epiphany: "That's it."

 …

 In the alley, the guard in gray found his young master.

Seeing that his young master was holding on to the wall with one hand and covering his chest with the other, as if he was injured, he strode over, held his arm, and said, "Sir! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Mr. Mingyue said with a pale face: "I just went to arrest the young monk, but unexpectedly that person appeared..."

The guard in gray frowned and said, "Did he hurt you?"

"My body is getting weaker and weaker, and I am no match for him." Young Master Mingyue took a breath, "He said that the sword was not in his hand. It doesn't look like he was lying."

The guard in gray was shocked: "What? The sword is not in his hand? Then haven't we been staring at his apprentice for so long in vain? Master, your situation is getting worse. How about... let's go back?"

Mr. Mingyue looked at the dark night and said with a complicated expression: "Without the sword, we can't go back."

 …

 That night, Gu Jiao rested in Bishui Hutong.

 Gong Anguo came out of the palace and took a carriage back to the mansion purchased by his servants.

Manager Zheng also came to Zhaoguo. He smiled and said to Anguo: "Master... uh... no, it's time to change your name to Miss. Will you be sad if Miss doesn't come back tonight?"

An Guogong smiled: "What's so sad about this? She has been with me for so long, so she should go back to spend time with her mother. There are so many people who love her, and it's too late for me to be happy. Ah, by the way, remember to count those dowries. , I always feel that there is not enough, and I want to buy some more. The wedding date has been brought forward to next month, so I have to do it as soon as possible. Let’s go tomorrow!”

 Manager Zheng was dumbfounded.

 No, Lord Guo, is this not enough?

　　I've already made up my red face, okay?

 Marrying a princess is not such a big deal.

In the dowry he brought, in addition to the family property he had earned over the years, there was also the dowry that Xuanyuan Zi had brought into the Duke's Mansion. When he spent all his wealth to collect the body of Xuanyuan's son, he did not touch Xuanyuan Zi's dowry.

Now Gu Jiao has brought them all here.

Even so, he wanted to give her more.

 …

The next day, Manager Zheng came to Bishui Hutong.

Logically speaking, Duke An Guo wanted to visit the Yao family, but as the Yao family was a female, it was somewhat inconvenient, so Duke An Guo only asked Manager Zheng to come to the house and present some specialties of Yan State, which could be regarded as a greeting to each other.

Yao said warmly: "The Duke of Guo is interested, please thank him for me."

Mrs. Yao asked her servants to prepare a return gift and bring it with them when Gu Jiao goes to visit Duke An Guo next time.

After Manager Zheng left, Gu Jiao was ready to go out.

 She had greeted her great-aunt last night, but she had not seen her aunt yet.

 She plans to go to the palace soon.

By chance, Mrs. Yao also wanted to buy some sets of beautiful jewelry for Gu Jiao. Although there was no shortage of jewelry at home, they were all old styles, and she wanted her daughter to choose them herself.

Mother and daughter hugged Gu Xiaobao, took the preserves made by their uncle, and got into the carriage.

 Their schedule today is to first buy jewelry together, and then go to the palace to visit their aunt.

 “Auntie,” Gu Xiaobao said.

Gu Jiao looked at him curiously.

Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "The Queen Mother always gives him delicious food every time she comes. He really likes my aunt."

Gu Xiaobao is wearing tiger-head shoes and a tiger-head hat today. He looks like a tiger and is full of milk.

Gu Jiao couldn't hold it back and gently pinched his little face.

 “Do you want me to be hugged by my sister?” Yao asked.

Gu Xiaobao dove into his mother's arms, his little feet kicking excitedly.

 The three of them came to Baolinxuan, the largest jewelry store in Beijing.

Gu Xiaobao doesn't like to walk. Yesterday, when he opened the door for Gu Jiao, he had already walked a month's pace.

Yao wanted to put him on the ground, but his legs were curled up and his feet couldn't touch the ground.

Yao had no choice but to hold him in his arms.

Gu Jiao was engaged, so she wore a veil according to the custom of the capital city.

Her birthmark was covered, and her eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. But when her veil was blown up by the wind, revealing the red birthmark on her left face, everyone immediately shook their heads in disappointment.

Yao Shi frowned and held her daughter's hand distressedly.

 Gu Jiao: "I'm fine."

 She was used to these looks.

Yao took a deep breath and said, "It's right to move the wedding date forward."

 The palace guard sand is about to fall off...almost...

 “What?” Gu Jiao asked.

Yao's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Ah, I mean...it's good that your wedding date has been brought forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little maid came from the side and called to Mr. Yao: "Madam!"

Yao stopped and looked at each other with Gu Jiao.

The little maid came to her and bowed respectfully: "It's really you! The young master is here too!"

Gu Xiaobao has a cold face.
