Gu Ning's actions are quite different from her usual image.

But Xie Yan had already noticed something strange from some clues, so he was not too surprised at this time.

On the contrary, the two brothers, Yue Ming and Yue Rong, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they saw.

"Why do I feel like the county master has changed!" Yue Rong said in surprise, "Before the change, this little beggar was either dead or disabled!"

Yue Ming was relatively calm, but his eyes were full of shock.

As an elder brother, Yue Ming has always been dissatisfied with Yue Rong's quick-tempered temperament, but today he nodded his head and said seriously: "You have some truths!"

Gu Ning ignored the two shocked gazes behind her, she smiled in her eyes, and when the little beggar came back to her senses, she asked, "What does the person who asked you to run errands look like?"

"It's two women." The little beggar tried hard to recall, "One of them is very beautiful..."

Before she finished speaking, she shook her head quickly again, firmly clenched the silver ingot in her hand.

"But it doesn't look as good as you!"

When Gu Ning heard this, he chuckled lightly.

She smoothed her hair into a bun slowly, and said with a lazy smile: "Thank you for your compliment, I also think I am extremely beautiful."

"Thank you guard, do you think so?"

She changed the subject and looked straight at Xie Yan.

Gu Ning dressed up today, from fingertips to hair strands, everything is exquisite.

What is even more attractive than her brilliant appearance is her pair of slightly curved peach blossom eyes, which seem to contain a thousand kinds of amorous feelings. A frown and a smile can captivate one's soul.

Xie Yan's eyes darkened, and his deep eyes were filled with emotions that others could not understand, and they were suppressed by him in an instant.

His Adam's apple slipped slightly, and finally he said indifferently: "The majesty of the county has a demeanor that no one can match."

Gu Ning raised the corners of his lips contentedly, took a step, and walked to Qiyun Tower in front of him.

Jiangning is prosperous, and there are countless Goulan tiles. Among them, the most famous restaurant is the Qiyun Tower standing in the center.

There are seven floors in Qiyun Building, the higher you go, the more luxurious, and the guests who can go to the second floor or above are either rich or expensive.

As soon as Gu Ning arrived at the door, a staff member greeted him graciously.

"Guest officer, you are..."

A woman in blue quickly stepped forward and glanced at the man from the corner of her eye.

"This is someone invited by my lady. You don't need to entertain me."

The way the guy looked at Gu Ning suddenly changed.

If he was polite at the beginning, now there is a bit of disdain in his eyes.

Xie Yan noticed something, her phoenix eyes turned cold.

Before Chunyu opened her mouth to speak, she saw Xie Yan strode forward, covering all the clerk's eyes.

Faced with such a handsome but cold face, the guy has a bad instinct.

At the same time, Xie Yan's deep voice rang in everyone's ears.

"How can you be presumptuous in front of Changning county lord!"

Hearing this, the clerk's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but after recalling the rumors about Changning County Lord, he swallowed it back.

He knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed to Gu Ning non-stop: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, the county lord, please spare me!"

Such a movement has already alarmed the shopkeeper and other guests.

After knowing Gu Ning's identity, some people's eyes suddenly became complicated.

Many people know the identity of the woman in blue.

"Isn't this Fei Yun, the maid beside Miss Qingqing?"

"Miss Qingqing? Is that the No.1 prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River? The county magistrate of Changning has a noble status, how could he associate with a...?"

Everyone's whispers, as well as looking at Fei Yun, all made her squeeze her hands tightly.

But at this moment, the guy said without hesitation: "I thought that the woman who was dating Miss Qingqing must also be..."

"You!" Fei Yun blushed with anger, pointed at the guy with sharp eyes, wishing to eat him alive, "My lady is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, when will it be your turn to judge!"

"Okay." Chunyu interrupted Feiyun coldly, "The county lord is not here to listen to your nonsense! Hurry up and lead the way!"

Fei Yun has always been proud of serving by Xu Qingqing's side, and those high-ranking officials and dignitaries will do everything they can to please Xu Qingqing, and her spirit is getting higher and higher.

Now being reprimanded by a maid like Chunyu, her complexion is definitely ugly.

Just when she was about to reprimand Chunyu, she saw Gu Ning stepping forward slowly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were devoid of any emotion, as indifferent as mountains and clouds and snow, which made her heart tremble.

She had also heard of the notoriety of the Changning county lord.

Now the girl's affairs are important, she can't spoil the girl's good deeds!

So she immediately lowered her head and walked ahead in small steps.

Go straight up the curved stairs to the fifth floor.

Gu Ning's eyes flashed, and he secretly made a small calculation in his heart. It seems that this Qingqing girl has a lot to do with Qi Yunlou...

Fei Yun raised her chin and said proudly: "The owner of Qiyun Tower has admired my girl for a long time, and this private room on the fifth floor is specially reserved for my girl."

"What's so great about this!" Chunyu sneered unceremoniously: "With the order of my county lord, this Qiyun Tower will have to change hands!"

"You!" Fei Yun became impatient, pointing at Chunyu and said, "You only know how to bully others, so what's so great about grabbing other people's things?"

Chunyu's delicate Xiaoyuan face was full of hostility, she strode forward, pushed Feiyun away, and scolded unceremoniously: "My county magistrate is pure and kind, and never puts anyone in trouble, what she wants, Naturally, someone will offer it with both hands! That master of yours is nothing more than a flower girl serving Israel! She is not qualified to compare with the county master!"

Fei Yun wanted to say something, but she heard footsteps behind her.

The door of the private room has been opened, and a beautiful woman is leaning on the door with frowning eyes, looking at her displeasedly.

"Fei Yun, hurry up and apologize to the county lord!"

Fei Yun bit her lower lip, even though she knew that the person in front of her was an honorable county magistrate, the unwillingness in her heart made her unable to succumb.

The one standing next to His Royal Highness Duan Wang should be her own girl!

This Changning county lord is nothing but a woman despised by His Royal Highness Duan Wang!

Suddenly, a crisp laughter sounded.

Gu Ning lazily shook the round fan, and looked up and down the master and servant.

"What is there to apologize for?" Gu Ning chuckled, "I really only know how to bully others."

With that said, she walked towards Xu Qingqing.

Fei Yun thought she was going to harm Xu Qingqing, so she immediately stepped forward.

But Chunyu made a move and threw her aside, not allowing her to take a step closer to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning walked forward slowly, Xie Yan stood by her side like a door god, always alert to changes around her.

"It's like this time today." Gu Ning said quietly, "I'm also going to bully others and make you get out of my sight completely."

When she was speaking, the jade pendant she had brought from a beggar suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingqing.

"This mutton fat jade pendant is Chu Yunyi's personal possession. Why did it appear here?"

Gu Ning raised her eyebrows high, her eyes full of hostility.

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing did not retreat but advanced, she looked straight at Gu Ning, and said word by word: "As the county lord thought, I agree with Your Highness, and this is exactly what Your Highness gave me as a token of love."

After saying this, she waited for Gu Ning to get angry.

Who knows that Gu Ning hooked his lips and smiled, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, and said with a smile: "So... are you swearing sovereignty to me on purpose?"

Xu Qingqing secretly clenched her hands, her eyes showed a little anxiety.

This is completely different from the news she inquired about. Why is the impulsive and irritable Changning County Lord so calm?

On the official road outside Jiangning City, Chu Yunyi, who had just left not long ago, was galloping towards the city gate on a horse.

His face was full of impatience, and the swirling dust made him even more angry.

The confidant followed closely behind, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that you will make the Chen family feel dissatisfied if you break the appointment this time..."

"Who is more important, the Chen family or the Pei family?" Chu Yunyi flicked his horsewhip viciously with a cold face, and asked, "I told you to keep an eye on Xu Qingqing before, how did you do it? Why did she come to him?" Gu Ning?"

The confidant swallowed back the words of explanation aggrieved: "It's because the subordinate is not good at handling things, please punish him, Your Highness!"

"If there is a gap between Gu Ning and me because of this..." Chu Yunyi glanced at him sadly, and said coldly, "You can invite yourself to the execution hall to receive your punishment!"

After all, Chu Yunyi stopped being distracted and galloped all the way to Qiyun Tower.

Today's Qiyun Tower has been surrounded by soldiers.

Chu Yunyi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately got off his horse and wanted to rush upstairs.

Unexpectedly, a burly figure came out of the darkness, it was Pei Anlin.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang!" Pei Anlin said politely, and the soldiers around him had already followed, firmly blocking Chu Yunyi at the gate.

Seeing this, Chu Yunyi was already flustered.

Such a battle, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the Pei family already knows about Xu Qingqing's existence!

He regretted very much in his heart, wishing he could show mercy to Xu Qingqing and let her stay in Jiangning!

"I……"

"Your Highness, you don't need to explain." Pei Anlin smiled, but the smile was very ferocious, "Our Pei family is definitely not someone who clings to the powerful. Since you don't want to marry Ning'er, we naturally won't force it!"

"Mother has already said that after returning to Beijing, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to dissolve your engagement with Ning'er!"

Every time Pei Anlin said a word, Chu Yunyi's heart was tightly clenched.

He forced a smile and said in a low voice: "General Pei, where is Ning'er? There is some misunderstanding about this matter, I want to explain it to Ning'er myself."

Pei Anlin hated him so much, if it wasn't for the shackles of his status, he would have kicked Chu Yunyi away so as not to be fooled by this person.

"Ning'er is still on the fifth floor, His Highness's confidante, but she keeps pestering her forever!" Pei Anlin snorted coldly, "I'm afraid Ning'er doesn't have the time to listen to your explanation."

Chu Yunyi bowed respectfully to Pei Anlin, sincerely: "Uncle, I was at fault in this matter first, and I will definitely not shirk responsibility, but Ning'er is as important to me as my life, and I must not I watched Ning'er leave me because of a misunderstanding, and hoped that my uncle would be accommodating and let me go see Ning'er!"
