Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

"Miss Xu is miserable. Wasn't Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi detained in Dali Temple because Princess Changning found out about their little thoughts?"

"I heard that they will be sentenced to death. I don't know if the Xu family can save Miss Xu."

Some weird people started talking immediately, and they all stared at Gu Ning with very mocking eyes.

Gu Ning turned around, and they didn't dare to talk anymore.

After Chu Shiling heard these words, the anger in her heart had already burned up. She pointed at those few people and cursed: "The things done by the Zeng family and the Ming family are all recorded in Dali Temple one by one. It’s in the file! They disrespected human life, shouldn’t they be punished?”

"You are speaking for her, do you want to go to Dali Temple for them to stay for a few days?"

Hearing this, these people quickly took a step back.

Gu Ning patted Chu Shiling on the shoulder: "No need to tell them more."

Some people who wanted to please Gu Ning said at this time: "Yes, it was obviously Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi who did something wrong themselves, why should the princess be blamed?"

"If it weren't for the princess, we wouldn't have known that they were such vicious people behind their backs."

The few people who spoke at the beginning lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Gu Ning walked to Xu Feiyao, and Xu Feiyao also held her breath like everyone else.

In fact, Xu Feiyao knew that what she had to do today was to ask Gu Ning to meet her father.

However, the moment she saw Gu Ning, her heart skipped a beat, her lips trembled several times, but she couldn't say a word.

"Princess, my maid..."

"Miss Xu, please take a step to speak." Gu Ning raised her eyes and smiled at Xu Feiyao.

Xu Feiyao couldn't help being stunned when she saw this.

However, Gu Ning then said: "Don't Master Xu not want to see me?"

When Xu Feiyao heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

She shook her head quickly: "Father is waiting for you in the study! I will take you there right away."

"It will attract too much attention if we go like this now." Gu Ning shook his head, "We'd better take a walk in this bamboo forest now."

Xu Feiyao didn't dare to look directly at Gu Ning. When she heard Gu Ning's words, she could only nod: "Okay."

Everyone only saw Gu Ning and Xu Feiyao leaving together, and they didn't even look at the talkative women just now.

Chu Shiling sneered and looked at those people up and down.

"Take him down and give him twenty."

Chu Shiling's understatement made several people tremble with fear and their eyes turned red.

At this time, a woman who had been standing in the crowd came out. She had a beautiful appearance, and her eyes were full of nobility.

"Chu Shiling, what is your identity? Can you punish the minister's daughter casually? Do you know what their identities are?"

Seeing this familiar face, Chu Shiling laughed sinisterly: "Who do I think you are! It turns out to be you, Princess He'an!"

"What? You dare to go out?"

Chu Shiling's words made Princess He'an's face suddenly turn gloomy, and her noble temperament disappeared at this moment.

Princess He'an's father, Prince Rui, broke a leg while riding a horse many years ago and had no chance of becoming the emperor. He was a prince who liked to travel around the world. Because of this, Prince Rui was very timid. Never dare to disobey the emperor's will at any time.

After Xie Yan came to power, he was afraid that he would be implicated in the deposed emperor, so he took the whole family to a villa on the outskirts of Beijing and did not show up for a long time.

Princess He'an, who usually had the least dealings with Chu Shiling, also fell silent for a long time.

Chu Shiling's eyes changed when she saw Princess He'an today.

Especially when she saw Princess He'an's gorgeous appearance, she gritted her teeth and stared at Princess He'an: "Who are you showing to Princess He'an with your gorgeous appearance?"

Hearing this, Princess He'an suddenly laughed out loud.

She covered the rising corners of her mouth with her hands and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

In an instant, Chu Shiling realized Princess He'an's intention.

Chu Shiling's eyes were like sharp knives, and she slashed across Princess He'an: "Chu He'an, I'm warning you! Don't toast and you'll be fined if you don't eat!"

"Chu Shiling, who are you lying to?" Princess He'an stepped forward and whispered in words that only the two of them could hear, "Is it possible that the emperor wants to kill the clan?"

Princess He'an watched with satisfaction as Chu Shiling's face became increasingly ugly, and she was in a wonderful mood, provided that she ignored Chu Shiling's last words.

"So what about the clan?" Chu Shiling suddenly showed a strange smile, "When you were trying to please the son of the deposed emperor, did you ever think that the deposed emperor would..."

Hearing this, Princess He'an's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, exactly the same as Chu Shiling's face just now.

"I don't want to talk to fools like you." Princess He'an snorted coldly, "It's in vain that you were the first person to get close to His Highness, and now you can only act as a lackey next to Gu Ning."

"You!" Chu Shiling raised her eyebrows and wished she could tear Princess He'an's mouth out on the spot.

Princess He'an sneered a few times, showing great disdain.

Chu Shiling rolled her eyes and suddenly put her hand on Princess He'an's shoulder: "How about we make a bet?"

Princess He'an narrowed her eyes and stared at Chu Shiling: "What kind of bet?"

Chu Shiling smiled and smiled very gently at Princess He An: "I bet... His Highness will not look at you more!"

As soon as these words came out, Princess He'an immediately laughed out loud: "What kind of bet did I think it was? It turned out to be such a simple bet! Chu Shiling, you are too timid."

"Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not!" Chu Shiling rolled her eyes angrily.

Her attitude made Princess He'an even more disdainful, and she agreed immediately: "Bet! Just bet on whatever you want!"

"If I lose, I will kneel down and kowtow to you every time I see you from now on. If you lose, the same applies." Chu Shiling smiled sadly, "How about you kneel down and kowtow to me?"

Princess He'an only hesitated for a moment before she heard Chu Shiling's disdainful laughter: "I thought I was some kind of powerful person."

Hearing this, Princess He'an immediately responded: "Okay! I promise you!"

Having said this, her eyes began to look around: "Why didn't you see His Highness?"

"You will see it in a few days." Chu Shiling smiled meaningfully.

Princess He'an's face became a little ugly. She realized that the day Chu Shiling mentioned that she met Xie Yan was the day of his wedding to Gu Ning.

"Don't worry." Chu Shiling patted her shoulder, "I will not ask you to fulfill the bet on the wedding day."

"Let's just..." Chu Shiling smiled and said, "Bet on whether he will look at you more at the Pei family's Guining banquet three days after the wedding."

Princess He'an felt that she had been underestimated by Chu Shiling, so she agreed immediately: "Let's bet! Who is afraid of whom?"

Her attitude was very firm, while Chu Shiling smiled like a cat that had stolen something.

Seeing the different expressions of the two people, everyone became curious. However, no matter how they asked, the two of them were on guard for fear that anyone would see any clues.

On the other side, inside the bamboo forest.

Xu Feiyao knew her backyard very well. After she took Gu Ning into the bamboo forest, she led Gu Ning to the study room in a dangling way.

Master Xu's study is located in the bamboo forest, very quiet.

"Father is waiting for you inside." Xu Feiyao whispered, "Princess Princess, please come this way."

Gu Ning did not move. Just when Xu Feiyao was confused, he saw a person walking out of the study - Mr. Xu.

"See the princess." Lord Xu stepped forward quickly and saluted Gu Ning.

After being saluted by him, Gu Ning looked at him with her eyes.

"Master Xu came to me today because of what happened in the court in the past few days?" Gu Ning said to himself, "It's a pity that I am a woman and have no idea what happened in the court. Master Xu's I’m afraid my plan will come to nothing.”

Hearing this, Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Princess, with the eldest princess as your example, how can you be like other women in the back house and turn a deaf ear to the important affairs of the court?"

"Master Xu is so complimentary." Gu Ning smiled insincerely, "I wonder why Master Xu invited me here today?"

"You went to great lengths and even posted a post to invite me over. It must not only be to compliment me, right?" Gu Ning looked at Mr. Xu with a smile.

Lord Xu smiled bitterly and bowed to Gu Ning: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the princess."

"Actually, I invited the princess here because of the two things that His Highness mentioned in the court."

"The first is to adjust the clan records."

"The second...is to reduce the number of people from aristocratic families who can become officials."

"Except for those who are just superficial, most of the families won't care who is ranked first in the clan records." Mr. Xu said softly, "It's just that the number of people who can enter the official position...if there is any adjustment, I'm afraid it will cause some problems." The dissatisfaction of many aristocratic families.”

"Oh?" Gu Ning raised an eyebrow, "If you are dissatisfied, do you want to rebel?"

Gu Ning's words made Mr. Xu break into a cold sweat: "I don't dare to do this!"

Seeing that there was not much emotion on Gu Ning's face, Mr. Xu plucked up the courage and said: "It's just that for aristocratic families, if the number of people who can enter the official position is reduced, it will inevitably make people feel tired. By then... Chao I’m afraid the hall won’t be able to function properly!”

Gu Ning's eyebrows were raised high, and the corners of her eyes were sneered: "Are you trying to intimidate His Highness with this?"

"I don't dare!" Mr. Xu wiped the cold sweat from his face, "I'm just reminding you. I really don't know which way things will develop."

After hearing this, the smile in Gu Ning's eyes became colder: "Either you accept your fate, or you rebel, right? Master Xu?"

Master Xu shook his head repeatedly. He had never had such a thought in his mind.

Although the deposed emperor did not interfere with the quota for his official position when he was there, he was a complete lunatic. It is impossible to speculate based on common sense. He can give you a heavy responsibility one moment and steal your whole family the next moment. Jiang Home is an excellent example.

He is a smart man. Just from the fact that Xie Yan killed the deposed emperor and regained the throne, we can see that Xie Yan is a wise king who has not been seen in a century. If he can assist such a wise king, maybe he can also stay in history. name!

Thinking of this, Mr. Xu's heart beat loudly. He raised his head hard and met Gu Ning's sharp eyes: "Princess, I am here to assist Your Highness wholeheartedly and have no other intentions."

"However, your Highness's measures, with your wisdom, are enough to see the impact on the family. Cutting off the future of the family is like cutting off the foundation of the family. When the measures are fully implemented, they will definitely jump over the wall. At that time, they will try to make amends. It’s too late!”

"Even if we want to weaken the power of the family, we should do it slowly!" Master Xu was heart-broken and spoke out what was in his heart.

He understood that once he said these words, it meant that he betrayed the family and chose to stand on the opposite side of the family.

Gu Ning's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Master Xu to make such a decision.

"Have you really thought about it?" Gu Ning said in a faint voice, "Aren't you worried that I will publicize what happened today?"

Hearing this, Mr. Xu smiled bitterly: "If the Pei family were like other aristocratic families, I would never say these words in front of you, the princess."

"After all, our Xu family and Pei family are from the same family." After Mr. Xu said this, his mood gradually calmed down, "Our Xu family also wants to... leave a name in history!"

Master Xu said, looking at Gu Ning firmly.

Hearing his words, Gu Ning's heartbeat slowed down for half a beat.

After a moment, Gu Ning smiled: "Master Xu, what you said is so true that I have to believe it."

Mr. Xu sighed: "I don't need to lie to you."

"Xiaoguan has already seen the situation clearly. With His Highness' ability and skills, he will definitely lift the Chu Kingdom to a new level. Why should I break up with His Highness just for a few places to protect him and become an official?"

"Our Xu family has thousands of books and has produced many famous teachers and scholars. How can we be so short-sighted that we can only see a few places to become officials?"
