I don't know if it was an illusion, but Meng Jinyao always felt that the waiter in the inn looked at her husband in a strange way, and his eyes always looked over here as if there was nothing there.

Meng Jinyao was also full at this time, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and called in a low voice: "Husband."

Gu Jingxi's eyes fell on her, with an intriguing smile, he asked with a smile: "Little sister, why don't you call me third brother? Is it that third brother did something wrong that made you unhappy?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Jinyao's face froze. Thinking of his abominable behavior last night, she glared at him with shame and annoyance. Last night, she had to follow his instructions and call him "Third Brother" again and again. If she didn't call him, she wouldn't do it. Satisfied, I started shouting with more energy. If I had known better, I wouldn't have become brother and sister. I really shot myself in the foot.

Gu Jingxi pretended not to notice her embarrassment and asked calmly: "Little sister, do you have any questions?"

When Meng Jinyao heard that he called her little sister, she glared at him and whispered, "I think the guy who was cleaning the table looked at us weirdly."

Gu Jingxi raised his eyes and met the boy's eyes. He saw that the boy was looking at them with a complicated look, as if they had done something shocking, thinking thoughtfully about what had just happened. I saw this guy in the guest room, and I kind of understood what was going on.

He didn't care much and said, "Don't worry about him. He probably thinks you are good-looking and wants to look at you more."

Meng Jinyao said: "Yu...well, Xiao Yu at the next table is also pretty good-looking. Why didn't he look at Xiao Yu?"

What she said was true. Yu Chuan looked quite good dressed as a girl, but she herself used makeup to cover up her good looks, and she was far less beautiful than before.

Gu Jingxi made nonsense directly: "Xiao Yu is taller than him. He has low self-esteem and dare not look at her."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

After breakfast, they bought dry food at the inn, prepared water, and the group continued northward.

The shopkeeper watched them leave and shook his head regretfully. A pair of good brothers and sisters actually did such an unethical thing. Even if they didn't have the same mother, they still had the same father. How could they see each other in the eye?

Previously, there was a brother and sister in their town who secretly got together, but in the end they were punished by God. After the sister became pregnant with her brother's child, she did not leave the house and raised the baby at home. In the end, she gave birth to a freak and was thrown into a mass grave as soon as she was born. Feeding the wolf, my sister is also crazy. Fortunately, they have no father or mother, otherwise they would be beaten to death by their parents.

In that compartment, in the county town where Gu Jingxi and his party arrived last time, two young men wearing black clothes met.

The young man who had just entered the city and finally found their leader said: "Boss, I have searched that ship, and there is nothing on board that you are looking for."

As expected, the leader was not surprised and asked again: "You didn't do anything to them, right?"

The young man shook his head: "No, I searched secretly, and they found nothing."

The leader nodded and said: "Well done. Your Majesty ordered us to try not to cause trouble. If they die, they will definitely alert the government. Lord Gu and the others gave up taking the water route and switched to the land route. They encountered bandits on the way and robbed their property and died. Nothing more than normal.”

The young man asked again: "Boss, where are they now?"

The leader frowned and replied: "After they disembarked from the boat and entered the city, I was fooled by their tricks. I have been squatting at the city gate since then and did not find them. I checked the records of leaving the city and found no records of them. They are still in the city, but I don’t know where they are hiding in the city. Our people should be arriving soon, and we will have to dig three feet to find them by then."

However, after their people arrived, they secretly searched the city and found no trace of Gu Jingxi and the other five. There was not even a record of their leaving the city. It seemed that they had never left the county.

He couldn't find anyone, and the leader was anxious. Now there were only two possibilities. One was that Gu Jingxi and the others had left the city, and the other was that they were still in the city. He immediately sent people to report back to the master, and they couldn't stay where they were. They did nothing, leaving one behind to watch in the city, while the others divided into two groups, one group pursued along the waterway, and the other pursued overland.

When Mr. Han learned that his people had lost him, he was so angry that he was furious with his subordinates and scolded them.

The man was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say a word.

Mr. Han finally said: "Go away and resolve the matter, or else I will come to see you!"

The man quickly retreated.

Mr. Han couldn't sit still. Either Gu Jingxi died or he died, and even the Zhenguo Palace behind him would suffer. Gu Jingxi could not bring those things back to the capital.

It's also his brother-in-law's fault for not being cautious. Gu Jingxi was in Huzhou City, but he didn't take good care of him. In the end, he let Gu Jingxi come to his home to take away such important things.

Normally, he looks quite clever, but at the critical moment, he is of no use at all and will be a hindrance.

-

As for Gu Jingxi, after traveling by land for a few days, he sold the carriage, took the water route, and took a merchant ship to go north. Now that he has gotten rid of those people, it is okay to go back to the capital by ship. He can arrive by ship in a few days. Beijing.

on board.

A well-dressed girl chatted with Meng Jinyao. From the conversation, she learned that the girl's surname was Tang, her family was in business, and she was from the capital.

Miss Tang saw that she was easy to talk to, so she asked a few more questions: "Miss Xiao, where are you going?"

Xiao is the surname that Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao use to fake their identities now. In fact, Mrs. Gu's surname is Xiao. When Gu Jingxi faked her identity, she directly took her mother's surname. If Meng Jinyao wanted to be his brother and sister, her surname would also be Xiao.

Meng Jinyao knew that she was from the capital, so he didn't lie to her and said truthfully: "Go to the capital."

Miss Tang asked again: "I heard that Miss Xiao has a Beijing accent. Could it be that she is from Beijing?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head gently: "No, I just grew up in the capital. I lost my mother when I was young. My grandmother took me to the capital to take care of me. Now I go to visit my grandmother, uncle and aunt with my brother."

Hearing this, Miss Tang looked at Meng Jinyao with a little pity. Losing her mother at a young age is a great harm to a child. Children especially need their mother when they are young, and she did so when she was young.

Meng Jinyao smiled: "Miss Tang, I'm fine, it's all over."

"Miss Xiao, just look away." After Miss Tang said that, she changed the topic and pretended to be casual, "The third young master Xiao seems to be a gentle scholar. I guess Miss Xiao's third sister-in-law is also a gentle woman, right?"

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she immediately understood. At the same time, she also understood why this Miss Tang took the initiative to talk to him. It turned out that she was attracted to her husband and came to inquire about the situation.

Obviously, she has covered up her appearance and good points for her husband. He looks like a handsome man, far from the glamorous Marquis Gu, but there are still girls who like him. This proves that temperament is very important. After all, even if her husband's appearance has changed, he can't. The temperament has not changed.

She didn't want Miss Tang to have any illusions, and giggled: "No, my third sister-in-law has nothing to do with gentleness. She is very fierce, like a tigress. She is also strict with her third brother, and she doesn't say anything at home. Brother behaves like a cat in front of her."
