Overnight, the situation in Jiangning was turned upside down.

As soon as the news of Jiang Zhizhou's assassination of the county lord of Changning came out, the streets and alleys were full of excitement, and the news that he sent people from all over the country to collect beauties and imprisoned them in Jiangning was widely spread among the storytellers in various teahouses under Gu Ning's intentional guidance .

When the major families in Jiangning learned about this, they could only gloat.

Jiang Zhizhou has been in Jiangning for many years, and the fish and meat people are fine, but these local powerful families are often searched by Jiang Zhizhou.

Relying on the Jiang family behind him, he was extremely arrogant, and now he met the Changning County Lord who had a deeper background than him, it was also karma.

Gu Ning waited in the other courtyard for several days, but he didn't wait for Yuan and Ling's family to make trouble, instead he waited for a lot of posts, including an invitation from Mrs. Yuan's family.

"I didn't expect their relationship to be so plastic." Gu Ning casually threw the post aside and rolled his eyes angrily.

The system whispered: "It's not that they don't pay attention to you."

Gu Ning snorted coldly, and the system suddenly didn't dare to speak, and only dared to falter and remind: "Host, your luck value has been stagnant for the past few days, if this continues, the automatic looting function may be activated again. gone."

"The target is not there, how can luck increase?" Gu Ning gritted his teeth for a while.

But she, who is familiar with the system's temperament, quickly noticed a clue from the system's attitude.

With a slightly cold expression, she went through all the plots about Jiangnan in the original book, and finally her keen eyes fell on the post sent by Yuan's family.

"I still have to go to the Yuan family's banquet."

It is written in the original book that this banquet of the Yuan family is the 60th birthday banquet of the old lady Yuan. According to the description in the book, Pei Anlin's subordinates suffered heavy losses for this operation, and even Pei Anlin himself lost a leg before Chu Yunyi led his troops to arrive.

Due to my promotion, the ones invited to the birthday banquet in the original book became myself,

But according to Pei Anlin's emphasis on Xie Yan, and Xie Yan's own strength, Xie Yan will definitely act this birthday banquet.

"The loss is heavy..." Gu Ning chanted these four words, a strange light burst out from his beautiful eyes.

Now that she has thousands of elite soldiers in hand, she will definitely not let the tragedy in the original book happen again.

By going to the birthday banquet, not only can she preserve the strength of the Pei family, but she can also gain the trust of Xie Yan!

……

The fact that Jiang Zhizhou sent people to assassinate Gu Ning was quickly brought to the court.

"Jiang's family!" The emperor's face was gloomy, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his refined face, "They are very courageous! They dared to assassinate Ning'er in order to cover up those scandals!"

In front of him, several men in official uniforms were kneeling on the ground.

The cold ground did not relieve their tension at all, they whispered: "This is the news from Jiangning just now, it seems... It seems that Jiang Zhizhou did it alone."

"Is the crime described in the letter true?"

The emperor's deep voice sounded in the hall, and several people immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.

"It's all news sent by secret letter, so it must be true."

"What a Jiang Zhizhou!" The emperor sneered, "what a Jiang family! If Ning'er hadn't happened to save those girls, I'm afraid they would have kept these things secret! As the lord of the world, They have been kept in the dark for many years!"

Several people did not dare to vent their anger, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

After waiting for a long time, the emperor calmly said: "Let's not intervene in this matter for now, and we will deal with it after Pei Anlin returns to Beijing."

"Yes!"

As if they were pardoned, they hurriedly withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall.

Inside the hall, a hunchbacked figure came out from the secret door.

"Old Yu, I'm afraid I need you to go to Jiangning for me this time." The emperor was very calm, "My ministers are a bit pedantic after all. The matter of Jiangning may not be so simple."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The old man smiled sinisterly, and there were sinister smile lines in the corners of his eyes, "This old servant will go to Jiangning, and I will definitely investigate this matter for you."

Just when the old man was about to leave, the emperor ordered again: "You must keep an eye on Pei Anlin and the Eldest Princess' movements. After so many years, I still..."

"Don't worry, this old slave will make all the monsters appear!"

Hearing what the old man said, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The hall calmed down again. The emperor looked at the empty hall in front of him, as if recalling what happened a long time ago. In his eyes, wisps of murderous intent slowly formed.

……

"What?" Gu Zhiyuan almost jumped up when he heard the news from Jiang Ning.

Fortunately, he realized that there were Gu Qingqiu and Gu Yunwan by his side, so he managed to maintain his previous image.

Gu Qingqiu said softly: "Uncle, Sun Yu is a gambler, and he always hangs around the place of fireworks on weekdays, so he is really not a good match for Yun Wan."

"Uncle!" Gu Yunwan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and looked at him pitifully, "Please help me! I am also the daughter of the Gu family after all, how can I marry such a person as my wife?"

Gu Zhiyuan naturally did not want Gu Yunwan to marry Sun Yu, but when he thought of Pei Anlin's order, his heart that was shaken just now became firm again: "Yun Wan, it's not that I'm cruel, it's really... the story between you and Sun Yu All over the capital, even if you don't marry Sun Yu, who can you marry? Besides, the Gu family has several daughters waiting to be married, if it's because of you..."

"Uncle!" Gu Yunwan interrupted him loudly, "What you said was passed on by the order of the Pei family! But the Pei family is the Pei family, how can you interfere in our family's affairs? You are the Gu family's Owner!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan's expression turned serious.

But every word Gu Yunwan said was right on his heart.

yes!He, Gu Zhiyuan, is the master of the Gu family!

Gu Ning, a white-eyed wolf, why should he use the power of the Pei family to force him?

At this time, Gu Qingqiu said softly again: "Uncle, General Pei is not in the capital either, you might as well...tell your aunt about this."

"Auntie is kind-hearted, and she listens to you the most. She will definitely not watch Yun Wan enter the tiger's den of the Sun's family!"

Gu Qingqiu's words made Gu Zhiyuan feel at ease physically and mentally.

"That's right." He nodded, "The Princess really listens to me the most."

As long as he said a word, Anyang would definitely agree to this matter.

Thinking of this, he waved his hands towards the two of them: "Okay, you all go back, I will send a letter to the palace, let the princess return to Beijing earlier, and make decisions for you."

Gu Yunwan was overjoyed, knelt on the ground, and bowed heavily to Gu Zhiyuan: "Thank you, Uncle!"

When the two left the study, the smile on Gu Qingqiu's face was gone.

She shook off Gu Yunwan's hand, and said word by word: "I have done everything you asked me to do. From now on, we will write it off!"

But before she took two steps, she heard Gu Yunwan behind her say in a strange way: "My sister is so majestic."

"But it's true if you think about it." Gu Yunwan smiled and said maliciously, "You are my uncle's biological daughter, so he will listen to everything you say, no, even if I say a thousand words, it can't be worth it. You say a word."

Gu Qingqiu's almond-filled eyes immediately turned red.

She stepped forward quickly and covered Gu Yunwan's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Yunwan smiled lightly, without any fear, she looked straight at her: "Big sister, if you want someone to keep a secret, you should give some favors."

"Aren't these enough?" Gu Qingqiu gritted his teeth, "I've already solved the matter of marrying Sun Yu for you, what else do you want from me?"

"I'm just a concubine daughter, and I can't compare to my elder sister. I have the love of my aunt and the protection of my real father." Gu Yunwan said quietly, "For my own sake, I have to make a bad plan."

Gu Yunwan's words made Gu Qingqiu even more uneasy.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her gaze gradually turned cold: "Say what you have to say!"

"I want to marry Prince Duan." Gu Yunwan said bluntly, "My requirements are not high, my sister is the concubine, and I only need the position of a concubine."

After all, she showed a gentle smile at Gu Qingqiu.

"You!" Gu Qingqiu pointed at her, his face flushed with anger, "My identity is very different from that of Gu Ning, even if Gu Ning can't marry His Highness, how can I marry His Highness with such a lowly status? concubine?"

"Sister, don't underestimate yourself." Gu Yunwan said with a smile, "You have more than that. Look at how much Your Highness Duan Wang cares for you. Even if you are in the south of the Yangtze River, you will not forget to send you some clothes and jewelry."

"You have such good means, why don't you worry about flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix?" Gu Yunwan whispered in her ear, "What's more, don't you have your biological father behind you to help..."

"Shut up!" Gu Qingqiu stared at her coldly, his gentle expression faded away.

Seeing this, Gu Yunwan did not panic, she just smoothed out the messy hair on her temples, and said briskly: "Sister, don't look at me like this, if I am frightened, I don't know what I will say."

Gu Qingqiu's delicate face contorted for a moment, and finally she suppressed the anger in her heart, and said word by word: "I promise you."

……

Jiangning House.

The street is very lively, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.

The carriage drove slowly on the streets where people came and went. Unlike the busy streets, the inside of the carriage was very quiet.

Xie Yan half-closed his eyes, put the long sword on his knees, no matter how presumptuous the gaze on the other side was, his face remained unmoved.

Gu Ning sized Xie Yan over and over again, from that handsome face to the skin under the Adam's apple.

She suddenly chuckled and moved to Xie Yan's side.

Before Xie Yan could speak, a slender white finger was already on his lips.

"Let me guess, what is the purpose of guard Xie accompanying me to the Yuan's house for a banquet this time?"

This finger is soft and boneless, and the delicate touch on the lips all promotes the presence of a woman.

Suddenly, the fingertips slipped from his lips all the way to his Adam's apple.

Xie Yan's eyelids twitched, and he firmly held the white wrist.
