Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Not only the Su family and Dingyuan Hou, but even the Sun family couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when they learned about this. The next day, Sun Yu specifically asked, "Why did you suddenly think of having dinner with Zhao Zhengting?"

Xu Huaiyi gave a frank explanation.

Sun Yu believed it, but he still reminded her, "You must be appropriate in your attitude to avoid misunderstandings. After all, although the Zhao family's position is not made clear, many people in the court have guessed it."

Xu Huaiyi agreed.

He originally thought it was a trivial matter, but who would have thought that later he would hear the reactions of the two families from Li Yunting and Su Zhe. For a moment he didn't know what to complain about.

After returning home, he couldn't help but complain to Gu Huanxi, "Isn't it just a meal? Why are you making such a fuss? Damn it, I seem so important. Such a trivial matter can be interpreted into so many meanings that even the master has to ask..."

Gu Huanxi was not as excited as him, and said calmly, "Right now, you are very important."

"What do you mean?"

"Everyone wants to win you over, but you don't rely on anyone. You are all careful to maintain a balance, but this balance is too unstable and can be easily broken. At the slightest sign of trouble, you can't help but have wild thoughts."

"Depend on……"

"You, please be more careful with your words and actions in the future."

Xu Huaiyi made a bitter face and cursed a few more times in annoyance, "When will this end?"

Gu Huanxi said, "That will take some time."

According to their speculation, it would take several years just to wait for the eldest prince to take the throne, and then they would have to deal with the King of Chu who was trying to seize power, so there would definitely be a lot of trouble. So if they wanted to live a stable life, they really had to be patient.

Xu Huaiyi said depressedly, "I want to catch Meng Yao and ask him directly what the ending is."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi frowned, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart, "You have this idea, do you think she will?"

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, "You mean?"

Gu Huanxi said with a serious expression, "She may have already suspected us. Many things are not right, how can she not check? Before, we were just making small noises, and she didn't pay any attention to it. But now, the noise you make is getting bigger and bigger. She will definitely wonder why an accident happened in this life."

Xu Huaiyi took over the conversation, "We are the accident. She has the advantage and can influence history, but if we change, she will definitely find a way to get rid of us, right?"

"Um……"

"There's no other way. We can't just keep hiding forever. We're already being very low-key. If this doesn't work..."

Gu Huanxi looked at him and her heart ached slightly.

When Xu Huaiyi spoke again, his voice was filled with ruthlessness, "We have no choice but to strike first."

If possible, he didn't want to attack a little girl of a few years old, as that went against his professional and moral bottom line. But he was selfish after all, and compared to the lives of others, he wanted to protect his wife and daughter from harm.

Gu Huanxi asked, "Can you get over that mental barrier?"

Xu Huaiyi gritted his teeth and said, "You have to pass it even if you can't. You and the child are more important than anything else."

Gu Huanxi smiled when she heard that. "Alright, you don't need to be so entangled. Even if Meng Yao wants to take action, she will only go after you. She has been an ancient person in both of her lives. In her understanding, women can only be trapped in the backyard and can't cause any trouble. Therefore, the accident will only be you. The only person she wants to get rid of is you. We are safe."

Xu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi silently reminded, "The one who is really in danger is you. Your existence is a variable that affects her foresight."

Xu Huaiyi said, "As long as you are all fine, I will be relieved. If she wants to get rid of me, she must have the ability to do so."

With the RV as a plug-in, he is really not afraid.

"You still have to be careful. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Behind Meng Yao is the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and maybe even the King of Chu."

"Well, I know what I am doing..."

What you say will come true.

Just two days after the couple finished discussing the matter, Xu Huaiyi was attacked by unknown persons.

After the autumn harvest, it rained a little, and the countryside took advantage of the moist ground to sow wheat. Xu Huaiyi had already prepared the wheat seeds, and he could have just sent a servant to deliver them, but it happened to be Uncle Xu's birthday, so he went there in person to deliver a birthday gift.

After dinner, we were driving back to the city when something unexpected happened. The killer appeared very abruptly. After all, it was not dark yet. The subsequent assassination seemed a bit sloppy. After realizing that he could not win, he did not fight hard but just ran away.

Xu Huaiyi did not send anyone to chase after them, fearing that there might be a trap ahead. This time, he only brought Wei Liang and two coachmen with him. The other side also had four men, but their fighting power was not as strong as theirs.

After returning home, Xu Huaiyi went straight to the bathroom, took a shower and changed clothes. He had just been in a fight and his body was covered in blood, and he didn't want his wife to see it.

However, it was kept secret in the end.

The servant had exposed the truth, and the two of them were injured. They couldn't just leave them untreated, right? After all, Gu Huanxi was the mistress of the family, so how could she not know about this?

Xu Huaiyi had no choice but to confess, "I met some blind men and had a fight, but I wasn't injured, and Wei Liang was fine too. Those two boys weren't very skilled, so they only got hit a few times. You don't need to be nervous..."

No matter how lightly he said it, Gu Huanxi was not fooled, "You are blind? Are you a killer?"

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly, "A person who only knows fancy moves is worthy of being called a killer? If I were a real killer, how could I come back unscathed?"

This was also what Gu Huanxi couldn't figure out. Who hired the killer? Why was his martial arts so poor? Moreover, he ran away when he couldn't win. This was not professional at all. This operation was more like a test.

"Isn't it Meng Yao?"

"Whether it is true or not, you will know after checking it out."

After Xu Huaiyi comforted his wife, he turned to find Han Jun and talked to Han Jun, and he no longer played dumb.

"There are four of them in total, all with their heads and faces covered. They don't look like professional killers, nor do they look like assassins specially trained by wealthy families..."

Han Jun heard this, not because he didn't believe him, but because he was curious, "What is the basis for your judgment?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "From their martial arts routines, their moves, and their eyes, professional killers are all aiming to take people's lives, but they always leave room for maneuver when they attack. If they were assassins, they would usually fight without regard for their lives, because the mission is the most important thing. But they are not so desperate, and they run away when they can't win, which shows that they cherish their lives. Moreover, their eyes are full of emotions, which killers and assassins don't have."

Han Jun nodded. "You are right. Who do you think they are? Trustworthy bodyguards?"

Xu Huaiyi said hesitantly, "I don't think so either."

"What else? They can't be bandits..."

"I think he's a bit like a gangster who does things for money."

Han Jun was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't accept it. "You are not mistaken, are you?"

He was not surprised that someone wanted to assassinate Xu Huaiyi. After all, Xu Huaiyi was now doing very well and had such a great reputation, which must have affected the interests of many people. On the surface, they were afraid of the Sun family and Jiang Yong and did not dare to take action, but they were not so taboo behind the scenes.

He just hired a few ruffians to do it. Who are you looking down on?

Xu Huaiyi said, "My intuition is always very accurate. I'm 80% sure I'll be right. You'll know if you check it out."

"Okay, do you have a target you suspect?"

Xu Huaiyi naturally had no way of betraying Meng Yao, and at the moment, he himself was not sure, so he shook his head, "There are too many people who are jealous of me, and the scope is too wide, anyone could be the one."

Family like the Su family, the Dingyuan Marquisate, and even the Qiao family all had motives to attack him, and those whose business had declined because of him might also want to beat him up to vent their anger.

Han Jun was able to comfort people, and said, "If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Think about it, this kind of thing will happen frequently in the future, you will get used to it."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

Because of the attack, Xu Huaiyi was very cautious when going out in the following days. He used to not let Wei Liang pick him up, but now, in order to reassure his wife, he also started to take a horse-drawn carriage to the martial arts academy. The carriage was covered with a layer of iron sheet to prevent possible hidden arrows shot from unknown sources.

The protection of several children who went to school was also strengthened. In addition to Han Jun, Xu Huaiyi arranged several guards to follow them secretly.

Gu Huanxi didn't go out again, for fear that he would become a living target for others to threaten Xu Huaiyi.

She stayed at home honestly looking at the account books and listening to the managers from various places reporting on the business operations of the shops. The most popular shop now is the newly opened beauty salon. Because it is located in the amusement park, there is no shortage of customers coming every day. At first, they were skeptical, but after trying it a few times, they became loyal fans of the shop. Gradually, it became famous in Beijing.

Especially in the circle of wealthy ladies, after all, those who can afford to do beauty treatments are all wealthy.

As soon as the business was good, people became jealous. Soon, people came to discuss cooperation. After being rejected, they started to make trouble. Later, it was Su Zhe who stepped forward to resolve the problem. At the same time, it inevitably brought the Gu family to the forefront again.

The bustle of the bookstore had just died down not long ago, but who would have thought that the Gu family would open a beauty salon, creating a new trend. The bookstore made money from men, and the beauty salon made money from women. The people of the capital were amazed, thinking, this is going to take away everyone's money in one fell swoop.

But they have to admire him, what can they do if they have such a brain? They want to follow the trend and drink some soup, but it is very difficult.

Because of the craze in beauty salons, Gu Huanxi had to be secretive when growing tomatoes and peppers and didn't dare to make any noise, otherwise, who knows how many people would be jealous.

The newly planted tomatoes and peppers were placed in the care of reliable and honest servants at the hot spring manor. Gu Huanxi also gave a portion to Su Zhe and gave some seedlings to the Sun family for trial planting.

After she finished her work, Han Jun still hadn't found out the mastermind behind the incident. He did find the four people who attacked Xu Huaiyi, but they were really ruffians who lived in the underworld. They relied on their skills to do dirty work for others, but they were paid to do the work and never cared who their employer was. So even if they were found by Han Jun and beaten half to death, he couldn't get any useful information from them.

The person who was meeting with them showed up in the middle of the night with his face covered and even his voice was deliberately disguised. Where could they find him?

Han Jun was unwilling to give up. He searched for many days in a row but still came back empty-handed. He asked Xu Huaiyi, "You really don't suspect the target?"

It would be easier to investigate if he had a target, so that he wouldn't be like a headless fly, looking at every company as a suspect.

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, his focus was elsewhere, "My life is only worth one hundred taels of silver? Isn't it too cheap? Who is being mean to me? I will find him out one day and beat him up so hard that he can't take care of himself. He will have to look at people through the cracks in the door..."

Han Jun, "..."

Xu Huaiyi fooled the matter with jokes, but privately asked Wei Liang to keep a close eye on the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, especially Meng Chonglou.

Even if Meng Yao was reborn, she was only six years old this year. If she wanted to deal with him, she could only rely on the help of others.

Meng Chonglou is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Moreover, Meng Chonglou's personality outside is that of a playboy who does not work properly. He hangs out in brothels all day long, so it is normal for him to know a few ruffians.

After watching closely, I actually found some clues.

After listening to what Wei Liang said, Xu Huaiyi felt like the second shoe had finally dropped.

Wei Liang was puzzled. "Master, do you have a grudge against Meng Chonglou? Why did he attack you?"

The two of them didn't even have any intersection.

Xu Huaiyi found the most plausible reason, "Maybe it's because the Meng family's business has been affected."

There are many shops in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, selling books, rouge and powder, and even a restaurant. Now that it is being impacted by the hidden bookstores and beauty salons, business is bleak. It is understandable that they hate Xu Huaiyi.

Wei Liang was convinced and asked, "What should we do next? The Meng family will definitely not let this go."

Unless the Gu family’s shop closes down, it will no longer be a threat.

Xu Huaiyi would not tell him his plan. "Let's wait and see. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

Although he said he would take the long view, Xu Huaiyi took action at night. If there was a grudge, it had to be taken as soon as possible. He didn't take action before because he was not sure it was the Meng family, and he hadn't found a place to start. Now everything is ready.

Gu Huanxi couldn't hide this matter, so he explained everything clearly before leaving.

Gu Huanxi didn't stop him, but just gave him a few careful instructions.

More than an hour later, he came back, entered the RV, pulled off the black cloth covering his head, revealing a smiling face.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi felt relieved and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "I took action, so what else is there to say? Not only did it get done, but it was done beautifully."

"No one noticed, right?"

"No, don't worry. Our RV is a cheating device. If I can be discovered again, I'd better not take the exam."

The couple was talking intimately in the car, and their days were peaceful. However, in a yard in the south city, there was a commotion for most of the night, disturbing the neighbors who could not find peace and gathered around to watch the excitement.

The next day, this romantic affair spread throughout the capital, and the name Meng Chonglou became the most popular search term.

With Xu Huaiyi's deliberate promotion, the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Princess Anping were mentioned again and again. When talking about this scandal, the male protagonist was replaced by the Princess Anping's father.
