Zhou Tangtang thought that the secret guard was Xie Yu's man, so he stood up and said these words.

Except for Gu Shaoyu, Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Tangtang, everyone present thought that the person who quickly pushed Liu Yiyi away must be Zhou Tangtang's man!

Zhou Tangtang stepped forward to save Xie Yu, and also inadvertently blocked the arrow for Gu Shaoyu.

She is the prince's cousin. Anyone present who says such words except her will be killed.

The prince turned around and left with a gloomy face. His plan had failed and aroused the other party's vigilance. There was no need to stay in the Huguo Temple.

Everyone then discovered that the prince's six guards were hiding in the hall below.

The news that several girlfriends came to burn incense was intercepted by the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince was immediately carried to the Huguo Temple to wait for them.

Liu Yiyi’s fall was not an accident.

Therefore, the Wei family is indeed planning to target Elder Liu.

Liu Yiyi was rescued, and Madam Liu thanked Zhou Tangtang again and again. Zhou Tangtang said with a smile: "You're welcome. We are five childhood friends. Let alone before marriage, even after marriage, no one can bully us."

After making a fool of herself in front of Xie Yu, Mrs. Liu swallowed all her words and hurriedly took Liu Yiyi to change clothes and wash up. Zhou Tangtang also went to pack his luggage carelessly.

Li Ranran looked a little pale, and she and her maid went back to pack their luggage.

The maid couldn't help but said, "Miss, I dare to say that Master Xie is really the best candidate for a son-in-law in the whole capital. You see, Madam Liu went to talk to the old lady, and she might have already exposed it. Miss Liu made such a mistake today, and your chance has come!"

Li Ranran felt bitter. How could she, an unmarried girl, have the nerve to find a son-in-law for herself? What kind of person was she?

It’s a pity that my mother died early and there was no one to take charge of the matter.

Thinking about it, I started to cry.

The maid hurriedly advised: "If you are not comfortable with it, I will go and ask the Duke's wife to come forward."

Li Ranran shook her head. There was still a chance, but now it's too late!

The maid stomped her feet. The old lady left so early, and now the young lady was left without anyone to take care of her, with only her beauty and talent.

Zhang Yanyan and Madam Zhang went back to pack their luggage. Madam Zhang asked Zhang Yanyan, "What did you find out?"

"Is Zhao Zhao trying to bring Yi Yi and Brother Xie together?" She already understood that burning incense this time was probably a cover-up for this matter.

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Go on."

"I'm afraid that Brother Xie and Liu Yiyi won't make it!" Zhang Yanyan said, "In a wealthy family, no matter where the mistress comes from or what she looks like, the most important thing is her ability to handle things. What's more, Brother Xie is the young patriarch, and as the mistress of the entire Xie Mansion, she has to serve the emperor and the common people, and she also has to handle the interactions with the dignitaries in the capital, so she must be smart and capable."

Liu Yiyi is extremely talented, beautiful, and has a good family background, but she was raised too naively by the Liu family.

Mrs. Zhang nodded frequently as she listened to Zhang Yanyan's analysis of the pros and cons.

If the court had not been afraid of the clans banding together to become stronger, she would have wanted to marry Zhang Yanyan to someone like Xie Yu.

Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Shaoyu and Xie Yu were waiting in the room for Liu Yiyi to finish packing, and everyone went back to the city together.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Xie Yu and said with a smile: "Princess Changping saved your life today."

Xie Yu nodded seriously: "When I return to the palace, I will prepare a generous gift and send it to Prince Jing's palace."

"The marriage between the Crown Prince and Liu Yiyi is on hold. The Liu family will be extremely vigilant about today's incident." Gu Shaoyu looked at Xie Yu and said, "I think Princess Changping would be a good wife for my brother."

Xie Zhaozhao also nodded. Indeed, Zhou Tangtang was more suitable than Liu Yiyi.

Although Prince Jing's Mansion is of higher status than Xie's Mansion, as a clan, the Xie family is definitely the first choice for marriage, which the royal family is both wary of and extremely yearning for.

Xie Yu said seriously: "I will think about it carefully."

Liu Yiyi was changing her clothes, and Gu Shaoyu said to Xie Zhaozhao, "I have an old friend in this temple, would you like to go with me to meet him?"

Xie Zhaozhao heard him say this, and knew that this was someone he must see, so he said to Xie Yu, "Brother, you take a break first, the elder and I will be back soon."

The two walked out side by side. Xie Yu looked at them from behind and his expression relaxed unconsciously.

Gu Ge Lao has a very slender figure, and he is not as frail as other civil servants. Although he is a civil servant, he has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and is very healthy. He wears a blue cloud-flying bat inner garment, a white jade pendant on his waist, and a large white banner. The snow-white fox fur on his hood is mixed with snowflakes and flutters in the wind, which is both noble and elegant.

Sister? In the eyes of the Xie family's brother, there is no one in the world who can compare to his sister.

These two are a perfect match!

Lord Gu really treats my sister very well.

Gu Shaoyu took Xie Zhaozhao to the back hall and walked around the "law hall". There was a tightly closed small door. Gu Shaoyu knocked on the door three times.

When the door opened, Xie Zhaozhao saw Aunt Cui and didn't feel surprised.

Aunt Cui is Gu Shaoyu's personal aunt, and Aunt Cui takes care of many of Gu Shaoyu's affairs.

The whole yard was very clean, almost spotless. There were greenhouses built with colored glaze above the several flower beds in the yard. Through the colored glaze, one could clearly see the indigo flowers in full bloom.

The pseudo-indigo flower is an extremely cold-resistant flower that can be grown for decades. It comes in blue, purple, white, and yellow colors, and has a very strong root system. It must have been grown for many years.

Aunt Cui watched Gu Shaoyu bring Xie Zhaozhao in. She bent down slightly, led the way with a smile, and opened the door of the hall. The hall was extremely clean, similar to the mausoleum of Xie Zhaozhao's mother.

However, the spirit tablet in the middle has no name and no words on it!

Xie Zhaozhao didn't ask any questions and didn't say much.

There was a pair of burning candles on the table, and in the incense burner in the middle was burning fragrant incense.

Aunt Cui took out three incense sticks and handed them to Gu Shaoyu. He twisted them and bowed towards the spirit tablet.

Xie Zhaozhao also drew three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted one in the middle, then placed the three incense sticks in a straight line, about an inch apart.

Kneel down and kowtow three times respectfully.

She didn't know who was being worshipped here, but it must be Gu Shaoyu's benefactor or something like that? She had to be grateful, kowtowing while chanting sutras in her heart.

The scriptures are different, but the compassion is the same. She silently said in her heart, "Regardless of good or evil, I wish that those who die will not fall into the evil path."

After the worship, Gu Shaoyu helped her up without saying anything. He just moved closer to her, held her hand tightly, and looked at the tablet silently.
