"what happened?"

Yuan Yu frowned when he saw Gu Mingheng's expression. He put down the wine cup in his hand and picked up the note on the table.

This time Gu Mingheng did not stop him.

When he saw the contents of the note, Yuan Yu's face immediately turned ugly.

Although he had guessed in advance that the girl from the Ming family might face bad treatment after returning home, Yuan Yu did not expect that Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru would be so excessive!

He really treated that fish eye as a treasure.

For the sake of a fish eye, he even sacrificed his own daughter.

This couple is also extremely rare in the world.

Even though things changed and eased in the end, it couldn't erase what they wanted to do in the beginning.

Yuan Yu said: "Ming Yuandu is getting more and more confused. For a little fame, he even ignored his own daughter."

"I originally thought that he had more conscience than that Zhou, but now it seems that this couple are not good people." Gu Mingheng spoke harshly, with a look of regret on his face.

"If I had known this, I might as well..."

"As good as what?" Yuan Yu raised his head and interrupted him, "Are you her father or something? You are just her uncle who has a distant relationship with her and I don't even know if she still remembers you. If the girl wants to go home, can you stop her?"

Yuan Yu knew that his good friend's illness had recurred.

Fearing that he would fall into regret and feel sorry for the girl again, Yuan Yu advised earnestly: "Gu Mingheng, you are not a god, you don't know that this result will happen."

Gu Mingheng certainly knew that he was not an omnipotent god with the ability to predict the future.

He is just an ordinary person.

Besides, as Yuan Yu said, that was her home after all. If she wanted to go back, how could he stop her? What right did he have to stop her?

Gu Mingheng suddenly felt very powerless.

In other matters, he has always been fearless and courageous, and there is nothing in this world that he cannot handle.

Only met that girl.

First, because of his negligence, she was kidnapped right under his nose when she was a child; now that he finally found her, he sent her to such a place again.

I don’t know what will happen to her in the future.

He sat on the chair, no longer as relaxed and carefree as before, with his hands on his knees and his head lowered.

It was even more depressing than when he had lost a battle and lost his brothers before.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?" Gu Mingheng was at a loss.

Yuan Yu was not as worried as Gu Mingheng. He looked at the contents of the note and said, "I don't think that girl is someone who can be bullied. Didn't you read what Qing Xin said? That girl turned the situation around with just a few words. Now Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru both feel guilty towards her."

When Yuan Yu said this, there was undisguised admiration in his eyes.

He was not familiar with this girl before. Although he had heard some stories about her, he did not know her very well. He only knew that she was a smart and intelligent person.

If she wasn't smart, she wouldn't have been able to remain innocent for ten years in such a cannibalistic place.

However, she was able to turn the situation around as soon as she returned to the Ming family, from being in a weak position at the beginning to making Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru feel guilty about her, and she was able to take advantage of the situation to attack Ming Jingrang and the woman who replaced her, and completely gain a foothold in the Ming family.

With such intelligence and means, Yuan Yu was not worried at all that she would be bullied in the Ming family.

"Okay, don't worry, that girl will be fine."

"Besides, isn't the princess already on her way back? By then, with the princess backing her up, even Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru won't be able to do anything to him."

"Aunt is old, how long can she protect her?" Gu Mingheng was not optimistic.

Yuan Yu felt speechless.

Normally, his friend is not such a fussy person, but every time he encounters something about that girl, he starts to become anxious and worried, always feeling that he is not doing well enough.

No wonder he misunderstood before.

With the way he looks, it would be strange if he didn't misunderstand.

"Then find a good husband for her?" Yuan Yu said as he put down the note.

"Anyway, she is sixteen years old this year and it is time to get married. If you think the Ming family is not treating her well, just find her a good husband and you can help her a little more in the future." He said it casually and didn't take it seriously.

After saying that, he went back to drinking.

But Gu Mingheng really listened to it.

Almost as soon as Yuan Yu finished speaking, he frowned and began to think carefully. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Yuan Yu opposite him.

Yuan Yu looked puzzled by his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me?" He looked at Gu Mingheng strangely.

Seeing Gu Mingheng looking at him with a scrutinizing expression, Yuan Yu didn't react at first. But when he realized something, he was so shocked that he almost stood up and jumped.

"Gu Mingheng, don't tell me you are planning to let me marry her?" Yuan Yu said in surprise.

"What's your reaction?"

Gu Mingheng was a little unhappy: "Although you are a bit of a jerk sometimes, at least you are reliable and can be regarded as someone I can trust for the rest of my life."

He has traveled far to the north in recent years, and has been surrounded by rough men who speak without thinking and only have brute force.

Besides, at his age, most people are already married and have children.

He is a special case.

As for the people in the capital, apart from the children of several of his royal brothers, only Yuan Yu was closer to him.

Naturally, he subconsciously thought of Yuan Yu.

But seeing Yuan Yu's reaction, Gu Mingheng couldn't help but turn cold: "Do you think marrying her is unfair to you?"

Gu Mingheng had a sullen face when he said this.

It seemed as if he would take action directly if Yuan Yu dared to nod, or in other words, if he dared to do so, he would take action directly.

Yuan Yu was almost pissed off by him.

Which deity did he offend to have to suffer such a thing!

This Gu Mingheng is also a bastard. He has been running around for him for many times, and now he has to take care of such things.

"How dare I!"

He complained, "I'm just afraid that I won't do well and will mistreat Miss Ming in the future."

Seeing Gu Mingheng's thin lips slightly open, Yuan Yu guessed what he was going to say and spoke before her: "Ancestor, even the most random matchmaking is not as good as yours, right?"

"Besides, have you forgotten that your girl is engaged?" He was afraid that he would really be forced to marry Mingjin, so he quickly pulled Gu Changxuan out.

"Fourth Prince, Gu Changxuan, the husband that girl chose herself when she was a child, have you forgotten?"

After hearing what he said, Gu Mingheng finally remembered this incident.

When the girl was little, she loved to run behind Changxuan the most. The aunt found it interesting, so she deliberately asked the girl if she wanted Changxuan to be her husband.

How would a child know the relationship between these things?

She wants to be with whoever she gets along well with.

Of course I nodded in agreement.

In fact, at the beginning, this was just a joke between children, which should not be counted or taken seriously.

But later, Concubine Xian suddenly brought up the old matter with her brother, and no one knew what she said to her brother, but she actually made her brother issue an imperial decree.

After passing the clear road, things will naturally become different.

Gu Mingheng remembered that when he was a teenager, he went out to play one time, and his brothers saw the girl and liked to call her "Mingheng, look at your little niece-in-law".

At that time, he thought it was funny to see the little girl dressed in all kinds of colorful clothes, and he used such words to tease her.

But the little girl didn't like him. Every time she saw him, she would stare at him with her round eyes.

Gu Mingheng frowned slightly: "The marriage that the emperor arranged was between the sixth lady of the Ming family and Changxuan, and over the years, Changxuan has been very close to that person, right?"

Although Gu Changxuan rarely returned to Beijing, he occasionally met the two people at a palace banquet.

The man called himself Mingliu, and the engagement between the two was not cancelled. Naturally, people in the capital treated them as an engaged couple.

Others also called her "the future Fourth Prince's Consort."

Because of this reason, Gu Mingheng has given Gu Changxuan the cold shoulder many times over the years.

Yuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's what the imperial edict says, but the girl was the one who was betrothed to the Fourth Prince after all. It would have been fine if she hadn't come back before, but now that she's back, some things will naturally have to change."

Gu Mingheng disagreed.

After all, Chang Xuan gave up on her and ended up with that woman.

If he really had that girl in his heart, why would he get so close to her? But how he felt was not important, what was important was what that girl thought.

Yuan Yu also saw what he was thinking. Seeing his gloomy face, he quickly said, "Don't worry. If the Fourth Prince doesn't work out, I will definitely choose a good husband for that girl."

"There are still many good men in the capital. If we choose carefully, we will be able to pick a good one."

Don't just stare at me.

Yuan Yu didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence directly in front of Gu Mingheng.

He hasn't had enough fun yet.

Besides, that girl looked very powerful, and Yuan Yu would not dare to marry such a woman.

Gu Mingheng didn’t know whether he agreed or not, but at least he didn’t force Yuan Yu to marry Ming Jin anymore.

Yuan Yu naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt more and more that I had been really stupid before, for actually thinking that Gu Mingheng was interested in that girl.

With Gu Mingheng looking like this, there's no way he can be interesting.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and was about to say goodbye when he heard Gu Mingheng ask, "I remember you mentioned that Ming Yuandu wanted to join the cabinet this year?"

"what?"

This sudden question naturally made Yuan Yu stunned for a moment, and then he nodded after reacting: "Yes."

Seeing Gu Mingheng nod without saying anything, Yuan Yu seemed to have sensed something, and he opened his eyes wide: "You won't..."

Gu Mingheng raised his eyes and gave him a lukewarm look.

Yuan Yu immediately nodded to show that he understood, then he shut his mouth, took the wine jug and left.

Only after walking out of Gu Mingheng's room did Yuan Yu sigh.

Mingyuandu has really gone astray. Originally, it could have relied on its daughter to get along smoothly, but now, it has blocked its own way.
