The Houfu Ancestral Hall seemed particularly lonely in the dead of night.

The moonlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappled onto the roof and mottled walls of the ancient ancestral hall, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this solemn and dignified building.

Gu Yan stood quietly at the entrance of the ancestral hall, pushing the wooden wheels of his wheelchair, making a slight sound that echoed in the silent night.

His figure seemed somewhat lonely and desolate in the moonlight, as if he had merged into this ancient ancestral hall.

After entering the ancestral hall, the first thing Gu Yanan looked at was his father’s tablet.

He sighed softly and took out a jade plate as black as an ink plate from his sleeve.

Gu Yan'an's fingers gently stroked the jade plate, as if he could feel the accumulation of years and the weight of family blood engraved on it.

The sound in the air caught Gu Yan'an's attention, and he tilted his head slightly.

Four black figures appeared quietly.

They were dressed in black and shrouded in shadows, as if blending into the night, making it impossible to detect their presence.

The appearance of these four figures instantly made the atmosphere in the entire ancestral hall solemn.

"You are here."

Four figures nodded slightly at the same time, indicating their arrival.

There was no expression on their faces, as if they were emotionless machines, but their eyes were extremely sharp.

This secret guard badge was given to him by his mother after he came back. It was the secret guard that followed him when his father was alive.

Mother doesn't know how many secret guards Dad has trained. She only says that Dad has a lot of followers, and as long as you want, they can be his weapons.

He can issue this order whenever he needs.

Gu Yanan put away the jade tablet and looked towards the depths of the ancestral hall. Immediately, someone came from behind him, pushing him towards the depths of the ancestral hall.

The other three followed closely behind, their steps light and silent, as if every step was on cotton.

There is a secret door in the ancestral hall, inside which are countless ancient books and secret cases.

When his father died, he told him some information about the military situation in Xiliang. He was young and naughty at that time, and he had heard what his father said, but he was too young and confused to understand many of the words.

He only knew that his father's death was definitely related to Xiliang.

Being able to come here now is also a concession from my mother. As the princes grow up, the situation in the court will always be stirred up.

I have come to this point. If I don’t have the strength to protect myself, I will be a victim.

Gu Yan'an took a deep breath. The more he knew, the smaller the chance of avoiding being sacrificed.

He buried his head in the secret room and stayed there until dawn.

……

"What are you doing? Going out so early?"

Su Jinhua had just gotten up, washed up and went to the yard, when he saw Gu Yanan pushing the wooden wheel into the yard by himself.

He was holding a few oil paper bags in his hand.

"I had a very comfortable medicinal bath yesterday, so I woke up very early today. I was a little tired of the food in the mansion, and suddenly I missed the meat buns on the street, so I went to buy some."

He raised the oil paper bag in his hand and chuckled: "Would you like to try the meat and vegetarian fillings I bought?"

It is really interesting to buy buns early in the morning.

It would be rude if you don't eat the food that others have bought.

Su Jinhua nodded: "Okay."

The two of them had a special meal in the morning. After the meal, Gu Yanan went into the room and didn't come out.

Su Jinhua didn't think much about it. She still had to go to Doctor Wei, and then go to that street to prepare to open a herbal medicine restaurant.

……

The carriage arrived at Doctor Wei's residence. Doctor Wei's youngest daughter heard the noise and trotted over with a string of candied haws in her hand.

The chubby and fair little face looks very cute, a natural beauty with a delicate figure.

"Yaya, stop jumping around and don't bump into anyone!"

Doctor Wei’s wife hurried over and smiled apologetically at Su Jinhua.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Su Jinhua squatted down and pinched Yaya's face. He really liked the fleshy feeling of this little girl's face.

She took out an exquisite brocade fan from her sleeve and handed it to Yaya.

"Do you like this fan? If you like it, take it and play with it."

"No, no, it's too expensive."

"They are all little things I embroidered myself. As long as the children like them, that's fine."

Mrs. Wei was surprised and looked down at the palm-sized fan. The embroidery on it was extremely delicate and even double-sided. The embroidered fish and lotus were lifelike.

"This embroidery is so good, Princess, if you don't mind, could you teach me?"

Su Jinhua smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Madam Wei, this was embroidered by the sisters in the mansion themselves. If I had this embroidery skill, I would embroider it every day."

"So it was embroidered by the sisters in the Hou Mansion. Isn't that a gift for you? This is too expensive. You must not accept it."

"She gave me several, but I couldn't sell them, so I gave them to the sisters in the mansion."

Mrs. Wei was surprised and looked at the brocade fan several times.

"How come this kind of embroidery can't be sold?"

"I don't know. Maybe the shop is too small and not well-known, so it won't be favored by the nobles."

Su Jinhua sighed softly, his face full of regret.

She brought up this matter today to help Shen Jingshu.

Gao Jinyu and Ji Fang couldn't defeat her, so they naturally turned their attention to Shen Jingshu.

Shen Jingshu's family is in this business, and those two people have a lot of bad intentions.

Don't find fault with them these two days, or return goods frequently, which will make Shen Jingshu's family business difficult.

It's a small matter like this, with no evidence and just hearsay, so it's naturally not easy to report it to the princess.

Moreover, this is their own business matter, not a matter within the mansion, so it would be unreasonable for her to go to Su Jinhua.

She was holding a lot of anger and wanted to argue with them but she had no evidence. She was also proud and would rather be bullied by them.

She never thought that they would cause trouble for her family. In the end, she had no choice but to find Su Jinhua two days ago.

Su Jinhua wanted to help her get better business, but this time he was not just helping her with her own business.

Give more to her. Only when she holds on to the business can she feel confident.

Mrs. Wei, the imperial physician, comes from a family that owns a famous weaving bureau. If Shen Jingshu can get in touch with this connection, she will naturally feel more confident.

Gao Jinyu and Ji Fang are the type who bully the weak and fear the strong. Now that they have established contact with Madam Wei, they dare not do anything.

Su Jinhua helped Shen Jingshu because he valued her ruthlessness.

After this time, Shen Jingshu will never let them live a peaceful life.

"Such fine embroidery. I remember that my family's business is in great need of products made with this kind of embroidery."

Madam Wei hesitated a little and said, "I don't know, is the sister in the Crown Prince's wife's mansion willing..."

She paused, feeling a little offended, and wanted to think about it, but Su Jinhua said first: "My sister is worried about these things all day long, always feeling that her embroidery skills are not good, but after hearing what Madam Wei said, she would definitely laugh out loud if she were present.
