Gu Ning naturally did not miss the surprise in Madam Zeng's eyes, but this is exactly what Gu Ning wanted to see.

She looked at the market and frowned: "There are more people, I like to be clean."

"Besides..." Gu Ning paused, and said slowly under Mrs. Zeng's gaze, "If I am comfortable in Cangzhou, I still want to bring my grandfather and grandmother over. They are old and should take care of themselves. years."

Mrs. Zeng's eyes darkened at the mention of Princess Dachang and Old General Pei.

These two people are well-known in the state of Chu. Compared with the outstanding achievements of the two, Mrs. Zeng envied the relationship between the two of them. Everyone knows that General Pei did not hesitate to take the decoction for the eldest princess. In this life, only Pei Anlin and Pei Anyang has two children, and he keeps himself clean and ignores the beauties who come to his door.

When Mrs. Zeng married Zeng Zhizhou, she also heard Zeng Zhizhou make such a promise, but the beauties around him were one after another, countless, and they had already forgotten the promise back then.

A coldness flashed across Mrs. Zeng's eyes. She lowered her eyes and slowly clenched her fists.

Gu Ning seems to be staring at the market, but in fact, he has been paying attention to Mrs. Zeng's movements.

When she came to Cangzhou before, Xie Yan specially asked Xie Yan to collect all kinds of information about Zeng Zhizhou, one of which was written very clearly. The power of her natal family--Hedong Tang family.

Gu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to stir up anger in Mrs. Zeng's heart: "Mrs. Zeng has been in Cangzhou for so many years, why don't you choose a few more houses for me? If there are no big ones, smaller ones are fine. My family is small, and I don’t need a big house.”

Mrs. Zeng pulled out a warm smile: "Most of the houses in this square city are good, but since the county lord thinks this place is noisy, let's go to another house."

Gu Ning nodded, and got into the carriage with Chunyu's support.

The two shared a carriage, and Gu Ning would mention interesting stories about Princess Dachang and Old General Pei from time to time. Seeing that Mrs. Zeng couldn't keep the smile on her face, the more satisfied she felt.

Zeng Zhizhou's standing in Cangzhou now is nothing more than relying on the power of Chu Yunyi and the Tang family. Once the Tang family is unwilling to help him, the Zhizhou of Cangzhou will sooner or later be replaced by someone else. Cangzhou is adjacent to Guanzhou. A good place cannot fall into the hands of others.

Gu Ning propped his chin up, admiring the exceptionally different customs and customs of Cangzhou and the capital, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

The carriage traveled all the way until it reached the south of the city.

Most of the houses in the south of the city are exquisite houses, Mrs. Zeng pointed to a few houses and said.

"At the beginning, I thought that the county lord would like a bigger yard, so I took you to the square city. It was full of fireworks, but it wasn't clean enough. The house here has everything you need except for the martial arts training ground."

Mrs. Zeng is also Mrs. Zhizhou, but in order to satisfy Gu Ning, she tried her best to keep Gu Ning outside.

Gu Ning had already seen her intentions. At this time, she raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zeng with her clear eyes. When Mrs. Zeng almost moved her eyes because of guilt, she smiled: "If there is a little The lake would be great."

"Yes!" Mrs. Zeng replied hastily, "This house has it."

Gu Ning nodded, and motioned Chunyu to check the house.

Chunyu jumped into the house easily, and Bihua, who was about to open the door, was stunned.

She and Mrs. Zeng looked at each other, both of them were anxious.

Sure enough, the people who can stay by Gu Ning's side are not good people, such skills, even the strongest martial arts among the group of dark guards raised by Zeng Zhizhou can't compare.

Mrs. Zeng suppressed her uneasiness, and still smiled and talked to Gu Ning: "The maids around the county lord are all so powerful, they are indeed from the Pei family."

"Grandmother and grandfather are very worried about my safety outside." Gu Ning replied with a bright smile, inadvertently mentioned: "Actually, apart from Chunyu, my grandmother also sent many people to protect me secretly! I just don't know who those people are Where, I am not in danger, they will not appear."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Zeng's smiling face froze: "Secret protection?"

"Yes." Gu Ning innocently opened his eyes wide, "Isn't Mrs. Zeng also from a family? Don't you have a secret guard around you?"

At this time, Mrs. Zeng didn't have time to observe Gu Ning's demeanor. She secretly said "Oops" in her heart. In this way, Zeng Zhizhou's actions today may not be hidden!

She held back the uneasiness in her heart, and grabbed Bihua's hand: "Quick! Go back to the house!"

Because of her anxiety, Gu Ning heard her talking.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ning asked curiously, "Could it be that something major happened in the mansion?"

Mrs. Zeng showed a smile, but the anxiety in her eyes could not be concealed. She reluctantly replied: "It's not a big deal, but I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with in the mansion. Let Bihua go back and take care of them."

Hearing this, Gu Ning nodded, but he didn't move half a step. Instead, he still stared at Mrs. Zeng and Bi Hua, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

Mrs. Zeng bit the grievance into pieces and swallowed it into her stomach, winked at Bihua quickly, and said: "Go and tell your lord that the weather has turned cold these few days, so he pays attention to adding more clothes, and Mrs. Mo You remember to reply to her for me, and I will definitely pay a visit on the day of the flower viewing party!"

As Mrs. Zeng's confidant, Bihua instantly read her hints from her changes.

"The slave will do it now."

Bihua said in a low voice, and hurried out.

Mrs. Zeng's face was calm, but her hands in her sleeves were already clenched into fists.

"So it's just these little things." Gu Ning said with emotion, "Mrs. Zeng really has a deep affection for Mr. Zeng. Even in the cold weather, she has to remind him in such a hurry."

Mrs. Zeng forced a smile: "He is a civil servant, and his health is not very good. Now it is a time of crisis. If he gets sick at this time and affects major events, it will be bad."

"There is some truth to this." Gu Ning nodded, and mentioned something very unusually, "Mrs. Zeng, you and Mr. Zeng are really a husband and wife. Mr. Zeng doesn't even have a concubine by his side."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng's already stiff smile was gone now.

She looked at Gu Ning, the inquiry in her eyes was like two lanterns glowing in the dark night: "Yes."

Mrs. Zeng responded with her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Ning. As long as Gu Ning showed a hint of sarcasm, she could immediately see through Gu Ning's true face.

However, Gu Ning still looks innocent and innocent, the envy in her eyes does not seem to be fake, it is real.

For a moment, Mrs. Zeng didn't know whether she was too suspicious, or Gu Ning was too good at disguising.

Just when she was about to continue asking, Chunyu came out from the door.

"Master, there is no danger inside." Chunyu said loudly.

Mrs. Zeng's plan was interrupted, she had to pull herself together and continue to accompany Gu Ning to look at the house.

At the same time, inside Zeng Zhai.

"My lord! Why are you back?"

The servants of Zeng Zhai were very surprised to see Zeng Zhizhou.

These servants all know that Mr. Zeng has not been back to Zeng Zhai for a long time, and he mostly stays in the government office - of course, this is all public opinion.

Zeng Zhizhou waved his hand, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard where Gu Ning lived.

A servant who didn't wink was stunned, and reminded: "My lord, that's the courtyard of the Changning county lord, and the wife's courtyard is here."

One sentence from the servant poured a bucket of oil on Zeng Zhizhou's already depressed mood, and his temper suddenly came: "My house, I can go wherever I want? When will it be your turn to replace me?" Is this officer in charge?"

"Slave..."

"Come on!" Zeng Zhizhou said angrily, "Drag him down and hit him with ten boards!"

"My lord, please forgive me!" The servant did nothing but kowtow on his knees, but his forehead was almost broken, but he still didn't get comforted by Zeng Zhizhou, instead he saw Zeng Zhizhou's far away back.

Gu Ning lived in this courtyard, but the servants did not change, she only brought a Chunyu and moved in.

Therefore, Zeng Zhizhou entered the courtyard very smoothly.

He just turned the yard upside down, but he still couldn't find what he wanted.

"How is it possible?" Zeng Zhizhou patted the table in disbelief, stood up angrily, "There is no letter?"

"No." The servant who was looking for it shook his head, held back his panic, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it's the letters with Sichuan, there's not even a private seal."

A private seal is essential. Without a private seal, no one can be sure where the letter came from.

Zeng Zhizhou sat down, looking a little dazed.

Even now, he couldn't believe the news he heard.

how can that be possible?

Could it be that Gu Ning really came here to find an eminent monk for help?

There are indeed eminent monks in Cangzhou, but what eminent monks can compare with the eminent monks of Baohua Temple in the capital?Why did Gu Ning go far away and come to Cangzhou, a place of right and wrong?

Why did the Pei family do this?

Zeng Zhizhou's mind was like a mess. He hadn't found any of the evidence that was bound to be obtained. He was unwilling to give up like this. He grabbed the collar of the servant beside him and said coldly: "You guys have been serving so much in the yard. After many days, didn't you find anything unusual?"

The servant was so frightened, he said uneasy: "Really not! Changning County Chief either stayed in the bedroom, or went out to buy things, and didn't do anything else. As for the pigeons that you specially asked the servants to pay attention to, you didn't even see a single one. .”

"She has never been in contact with anyone?" Zeng Zhizhou still refused to give up.

"No." The servant racked his brains, but he could only give this answer, "Even if she went outside the mansion, she went to those ordinary shops, and the servants always followed her to carry things for her. Seriously. No one has ever seen it, let alone sent a message!"

Hearing what the servant said, Zeng Zhizhou blushed with anger.

I dare to think that I have planned for this for several days, and put one crime after another on Gu Ning's head. In the end, this is all my imagination?

"This is impossible! This is impossible!" Zeng Zhizhou said this, and he was about to walk to Gu Ning's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A masked man fell from the sky and landed on Zeng Zhizhou's foot that was about to enter the bedroom.

The weight of a grown man suddenly made Zeng Zhizhou scream.

"Ahhh!"

Zeng Zhizhou held one of his feet and stood on the ground with one foot. The other was unsteady, and fell forward in a staggered manner. The masked man stretched out his hand and pushed him to the ground.

"Who are you!" Zeng Zhizhou blushed with anger, but seeing the murderous look in the masked man's eyes, the hairs on his back stood up, and he shouted mournfully, "There are assassins! There are assassins!"

The masked man sneered, and under the terrified gaze of Zeng Zhizhou and a group of servants, he pulled out the long knife at his waist. go out.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you deal with him quickly! A dozen of you, can't you beat one of them?"

However, as soon as the servants who had been chased away took a step forward, they all backed away in fright with a wave of the masked man's hand.

"My lord! This... this is a master!"
