Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Shang Yongle huddled there for a long while before replying.

"Brother, I've made up my mind. I want to go to my grandparents' house. Is that okay?"

Gu Zhen understood that compared to her second cousin who came back halfway, Shang Yongle naturally trusted her grandparents who had loved her since she was a child.

But times are different now, and going back may not be a good thing.

She also thought that in the original book, Shang Yongle had not done anything bad, so she could find a good marriage for him because of his young age.

"Since you have made up your mind, I can't stop you. Go pack your things and I'll have someone take you there."

Shang Yongle nodded hurriedly. Ever since her sister-in-law got into trouble and her parents were angered to death, her status in the mansion has plummeted.

This second cousin is a deep-minded and scheming person. He doesn't allow her to leave the yard at will. Shang Yongle has had enough of him.

Gu Zhen waited until she left before sitting next to Bai Ling.

"Good Ling'er, what do you think?"

Bai Ling's body shuddered. The Second Young Lady was pretending to be a man quite well. She looked so gentle and affectionate. If you didn't know, you would think they were having an affair.

But she didn't dare to avoid Gu Zhen's arm at all.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay here. Don't worry, Second Young Master. I'm here to guard this backyard for you!"

Gu Zhen was very satisfied. "Just be your concubine. The child is still young and doesn't remember anything. You are his biological mother. I will ensure that you will live a life of wealth and glory. Just be good and don't make me angry."

Bai Ling nodded vigorously. She didn't dare to disobey. Now the whole mansion had been replaced, and from inside to outside, they were all Gu Zhen's people.

Mother Wang holds great power, Li Moer obeys Gu Zhen's orders, and the monthly salary has been increased several times, so everyone is trying hard to get ahead.

She had been a concubine before, so even if she moved out of the house, she might not live as comfortably as she does now.

Only a fool would disobey!

Gu Zhen touched Xiaoquan'er's head.

If we talk about the cleanest businessman, it might be this guy. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong family.

......

one year later.

The Xiang army finally crossed the turbulent river and headed straight for Sui City with its large army.

The magistrate of Suicheng County oppressed the people, and the princess did nothing, allowing officials to protect each other, causing the people to live in misery.

Under the leadership of Master Shang Zhen, the people rose up in resistance, eventually opened the city gates, and welcomed Xiang's army into the city.

Xiang Jihuai dismounted from his horse and personally helped Shang Zhen up.

The secret report mentioned that Shang Zhen had been providing relief to the victims and had repeatedly sent people to donate silver and supplies, secretly supporting the Xiang family army.

In this troubled time, he is a rare young talent!

Xiang Jihuai slapped Shang Zhen on the shoulder, his voice as loud as a bell: "Brother Shang! No need to be so polite. Thanks to you, there were no unnecessary casualties today!"

Without losing a single soldier and without harming the civilians, they breached the city gate from the inside out.

Gu Zhen was slapped by the male protagonist and almost screamed out with her teeth bared.

The first time she saw him, Gu Zhen thought of the heroic King of Chu.

What a hero! He is so upright and noble, truly a man of great character!

Looking behind him, there is a handsome young man dressed as a nobleman, smiling kindly, with such a humble and gentle appearance!

Presumably, this person is the second male lead in the book, Chu Xinghe. His father was a loyal minister of Dayin, but was framed by treacherous officials and his entire family was executed. Only he and his sister managed to escape and were fortunately rescued by the male protagonist.

And his sister Chu Rou is the white moonlight of the hero of this book who died early.

At this juncture, he should not be dead yet. Gu Zhen raised his eyes to look and saw a carriage moving. A beautiful woman with a delicate figure and a stunning beauty stepped down from it.

His features are somewhat similar to Chu Xinghe's, except that his complexion is very bad, he looks sickly, and there is a faint purple tint between his eyebrows.

Chu Rou was poisoned since her mother's womb and was sent to the Ghost Sage at a young age. She was used to fight poison with poison and became a walking poison jar.

It’s a pity that she didn’t live to see the day when the male protagonist became emperor.

Following Chu Rou down was a tall and aloof woman. The two must have a very good relationship. They smiled at each other and came over to greet Gu Zhen.

This person must be the military advisor and future queen, Feng Qianheng.

Gu Zhen admired the beauty of the two female protagonists and said with a bow, "The palace has already prepared a welcoming banquet for the master. The soldiers are tired from the journey, so it is better for them to set up camp and rest as soon as possible. What do you think, master?"

Xiang Jihuai laughed loudly and gave orders. The Xiang family army had strict discipline and its own system.

Soon, Sui City was completely renovated. The stationed soldiers were replaced by Xiang's army. The dog county magistrate and the dog emperor's niece, the princess, were both taken to prison awaiting their fate.

Suicheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it will be an important line of defense before they enter Beijing.

Xiang Jihuai was in a good mood. This boy Shang Zhen was more knowledgeable and interesting than he thought.

There were all kinds of delicacies at the banquet, but it was not extravagant or, like in other towns, they would not give beautiful women to the soldiers as soon as they arrived.

Xiang Jihuai hates this the most.

He picked up the wine glass and smiled at Gu Zhen: "Brother Shang, this glass is for you."

Gu Zhen quickly stood up and said, "I should be the one toasting my Lord. If it weren't for you, the people of Sui City would have been in dire straits for who knows how long. You are the backbone of the people of this world, the pillar that stabilizes the sea. I can't afford your wine."

Xiang Jihuai was happy about her flattery, but he was not complacent. He had a heavy responsibility to shoulder and a long way to go. He still had a long way to go.

The party was already very lively as people were toasting each other, and Chu Xinghe considerately poured a glass of water for his sister.

Chu Rou was already holding on. She was in a good mood today and she didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.

Because of her health condition, Brother Xiang has been very accommodating.

Gu Zhen was sitting next to the brother and sister. Seeing this, he simply sat over and said, "Brother Chu, I see that Miss Chu's eyebrows are purple and the blood in her fingers is blocked. Is she poisoned?"

Chu Xinghe sighed and raised his glass, "Yes, my sister was born with a poison. I have visited many famous doctors, but no one has ever found a solution."

Gu Zhen felt sorry for the beauty's suffering. Seeing Chu Rou still pretending to be relieved and comforting her brother, she took the initiative to say, "If you don't mind my lack of knowledge, I would be willing to take Miss Chu's pulse, is that okay?"

Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up, but then the light faded away little by little. He had experienced this feeling of expectation and disappointment countless times before.

Chu Rou didn't want her brother to be sad, so she took the initiative to extend her wrist, smiled generously and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Shang."

Gu Zhen developed a liking for her. This is the charm of Bai Yueguang. All the beautiful words in the book are given to this woman.

After taking Gu Zhen's pulse carefully, he kept frowning.

He was so focused that he didn't notice Xiang Jihuai and his companions surrounding him.

The pulse was taken from the right hand to the left hand for a full quarter of an hour.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Gu Zhen slowly withdrew his hand, "It's difficult to cure, but there is still a glimmer of hope."

This was the first time Chu Xinghe heard such a reply. In the past, doctors would shake their heads helplessly and assert that Chu Rou would not live past the age of 20. However, Shang Zhen said that there was a glimmer of hope!

“Brother Shang, I…” Chu Xinghe simply stood up and knelt on one knee, “If you can save my sister’s life, I… I…”

The nobleman who used to be eloquent, elegant and handsome was now choked with sobs and unable to speak.

Chu Rou felt very sad. Her brother was always like this, never letting go of any possibility.

Gu Zhen helped him up, "Brother Chu, there is no need to be like this. We have known each other for a while, so I will do my best."

Xiang Jihuai admired this young man even more and praised him repeatedly: "I didn't expect that Brother Shang, you also know medical skills! You are really a young talent!"

"My Lord, you are too kind. I have only been trying to make a living here and I am just learning some tricks to make a living."

Gu Zhen's humility was met with Xiang Jihuai's laughter.

After this incident, the banquet became even more lively.

Gu Zhen did not stay any longer and hurried back to prepare the medicine.
