"Mother-in-law!" Gu Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "It's my fault! If you have any anger, just turn it on me!"

The Eldest Princess has a solemn expression, no longer the kindness of the past: "Your Gu family are bullying too much, if you let Anyang stay here again, I am afraid that my daughter will die! I will take her back."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Zhiyuan became anxious.

How can I get Pei Anyang to leave the Gu family?Once she leaves the Gu family, everyone will speculate that his relationship with the Pei family has broken down. Now he is just a small fifth-rank official, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold. He must never leave the support of the Pei family!

In almost an instant, Gu Zhiyuan threw away all his dignity, bent down on the ground, and said earnestly: "Give me one more chance, mother-in-law, and I will never let Anyang be disturbed again."

"I have already ordered someone to send my mother to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and I will never let Anyang be wronged again!"

He spoke quickly, eager to prove himself in front of the Eldest Princess.

But how could the eldest princess make a decision based on his few words?

"Even if I keep Anyang, your Gu family won't be able to live there." The Eldest Princess said coldly, "You can't just let Anyang live in a courtyard."

"From childhood to adulthood, Anyang's food and clothing are the best. You should be aware of this."

Gu Zhiyuan's eyes darkened. In the entire Gu mansion, only the main courtyard and the courtyard where Gu Ning lived were the best. Now that the main courtyard has been destroyed, Pei Anyang really has no place to live, so she cannot be allowed to live with Gu Ning.

But he is still not reconciled, now is the critical time, he can't let the relationship between himself and the Pei family crack.

At this moment, a slight cough sounded.

With the support of Huzhu, Pei Anyang walked in slowly.

Seeing that her face was as white as gold paper, even with Huzhu's support, she still couldn't breathe, the eyes of the eldest princess immediately became moist.

She glared at Gu Zhiyuan fiercely: "Anyang has already become like this, do you want her to wait here to die?"

"Mother, I also want to stay with my husband..."

"Mother!"

Gu Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, with a clear voice, enough for the people present to hear what she said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely stay at home and watch over father for you! So that those maids won't be restless!"

A few words from Gu Ning shocked Pei Anyang so much that he forgot what he wanted to say.

"Ning'er, what are you talking about!"

She snapped, an unhealthy blush stained her pale cheeks.

Gu Ning blinked, with an innocent face: "Isn't mother unwilling to leave because she is worried that father will be seduced by other goblins? With me here to watch for you, mother can go back to Pei's house without any worries. rest."

Seeing the cunning flashing in her eyes, the Eldest Princess felt sure, and said, "That's right, since Ning'er is watching for you, you can go back with me to recuperate, and it won't be too late to come back after recovering."

"I believe Gu Zhiyuan doesn't have the guts to go out and flirt."

Speaking of this, she looked at Gu Zhiyuan sharply.

Gu Zhiyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, as long as Gu Ning stayed at Pei's house, those speculations outside would not be able to stir up trouble.

In this way, there is no need to offend the eldest princess.

He was overjoyed, but still pretended to be reluctant: "Anyang, I will definitely send someone to speed up the repairs and bring you back as soon as possible."

The three closest people reached an agreement, even though Pei Anyang had a lot of doubts in his heart, he could only nod his head and agree to the matter.

She sighed in her heart, they were always for her own good.

Gu Ning carefully helped her to his side: "Mother, if there is anything you want to take away, I will ask Chunyu to pack it for you."

"Those things have been burned!" Hu Zhu said bluntly, feeling very distressed, "I'm afraid the princess's favorite clothes have been turned into ashes. Fortunately, the slaves snatched the princess's makeup box, otherwise the tens of thousands Two silver coins, I'm afraid they will all be folded in!"

Gu Ning glanced at her appreciatively, and then said: "In this way, my mother may be very sad!"

Gu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "It's just some clothes, just buy some more."

Even so, his heart hurts very much.

Pei Anyang's clothes are not ordinary clothes, the materials alone are worth several thousand taels of silver, not to mention that they need skilled craftsmen to sew them.

After all these comings and goings, including repairing the yard, most of the Gu family's property would have to be taken out.

"Okay." The eldest princess stood up with a cold face, "When will the yard be repaired, and when will you go to Pei's mansion to pick up Anyang."

"Ning'er, take your mother's makeup box and send her back to Pei's house."

"Yes."

Gu Ning nodded quickly, without giving Gu Zhiyuan a chance to speak, he led Pei Anyang out of the front yard.

The main entrance gathered many spectators, including the passing people, and some young servants from several neighbors who came to inquire about the news.

Seeing Princess Dachang leaving with Pei Anyang, the clever people already smelled something different from it.

"Could it be that the Anyang County chief is reconciling with Mr. Gu?"

"What nonsense!"

The curtain of the carriage that was about to leave was lifted, revealing a bright face.

"My mother is only going back to Pei's mansion to stay for a few days. My mother is the princess, so I can't let her condescend to live in such a deserted place as the side courtyard! What do you know?"

Gu Ning frowned slightly, and there was a bit of displeasure in her beautiful eyes.

These gossipers didn't dare to look at her, and hurriedly lowered their heads, wishing they could stare at a hole in the ground.

They are in a good relationship, but they are like clowns, guessing wildly here.

Gu Ning snorted coldly and threatened: "If I hear you make up my mother again, the consequences...you can't afford it!"

"Small confession!"

Several people knelt down quickly, and their little thoughts disappeared.

They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the carriage left.

At the gate of Gu's mansion, Gu Zhiyuan's hanging heart finally came to fruition.

At the beginning, he was always worried that the eldest princess suddenly picked up Pei Anyang because he discovered his secret tricks, but now it seems that he was indeed thinking too much.

only……

He thought of the room where he had spent so much effort, and his heart was bleeding.

20 years! A house that took 20 years to complete!

There was a twist on his elegant and gentle face, but it disappeared quickly.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing his face turning blue and purple, Rong Wei's personal servant raised his heart.

"Go to the study room!"

Gu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and walked quickly into the gate.

He walked hurriedly and was very restless.

It wasn't until he reached the study room that he saw the intact door lock, and then he relaxed his tense nerves.

"You wait outside." Gu Zhiyuan warned, "Remember, once anyone approaches, stop him immediately!"

"Yes!" Rong Wei couldn't help nodding, and stood by the door with a serious face.

The door of the study room was locked from the inside, Gu Zhiyuan sat slumped on the chair, no longer as handsome as before.

He recalled today's scenes, and resentment surfaced on his face from the bottom of his heart.

"Wait a little longer!" He gritted his teeth, with a grin on his face, "I will make you people who look down on me kneel at my feet and beg for my forgiveness!"

While speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from the hidden compartment under the table.

The vermilion round pill was swallowed by him.

He didn't know that the person on the beam had seen all of this.

……

On the carriage back to Pei's residence, Pei Anyang was restless.

Her intuition told her that the sudden fire in the main courtyard had an inexplicable connection with the eldest princess who suddenly wanted to pick her up to Pei's house.

She subconsciously clenched the veil in her hand, trying to ask the Eldest Princess pretending to be calm.

But the restlessness in her eyes had already betrayed her current state of mind.

"Will I still harm you?" The eldest princess slowly opened her eyes, her old eyes were extremely clear, "Anyang, who is more trustworthy, Gu Zhiyuan or I?"

Pei Anyang showed panic: "Why would mother ask such a question?"

"You just answer." The Eldest Princess said in a cold tone, "Me or him, who is the person you trust the most?"

"Nature is the mother."

Pei Anyang frowned, although she was puzzled, she still revealed what was in her heart.

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess' eyes became a little gentler.

She patted Pei Anyang on the head, and said in a gentle voice: "Since I am more trustworthy, then you should do as I tell you. I am your mother, and all my plans are for your own good."

Pei Anyang was restless, and he became more and more uneasy as he twisted the handkerchief.

"Mother, tell me the truth, is it my husband...he did something sorry for you?"

"It's just a clown." The eldest princess snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "You can stay at home with peace of mind, and these things will never affect you."

Pei Anyang only felt that her heart was pierced by a knife. From these few short sentences, she had already noticed a clue.

But facing the worried and concerned eyes of the Eldest Princess, she couldn't say a word of pleading.

After a while, she calmed down and said with a sob: "Since he has done something wrong to mother, I will go back and make peace with him!"

"Okay." The eldest princess raised her eyelids and said angrily, "What's the use of reconciling? He did more than just one or two things."

"I..." Pei Anyang's words came to his lips, but he suddenly remembered something, "If that's the case, why did mother let Ning'er stay in Gu's house? No! I can't let her go back!"

"Ning'er is much smarter than you." The Eldest Princess winked at Nanny Gui, seeing that Nanny Gui blocked the door, she said, "It was our common idea to keep Ning'er there."

"As for your time, just stay in the mansion well."

Before Pei Anyang could speak, the Eldest Princess warned again: "Let me tell you, this matter is different from the past. What Gu Zhiyuan has done has violated my bottom line, and I will never let him go."

"Ning'er will go back to the mansion later, her life is in your hands, if you report to Gu Zhiyuan because of your soft heart..."

"Ning'er is your daughter, if you don't love her, who else can she count on?"

Pei Anyang's eyes were red: "I will never step out of the room!"
