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

Qingzhi didn't expect that Gu Zhen was the owner of this restaurant. How could it be such a coincidence that he ran into her on the first day he arrived in Shu?

She was distracted, afraid that Gu Zhen would recognize her and reveal the news to Wen Zhao. Given the relationship between Wen Zhao and Xie Songhan, there was no reason not to tell him.

Then wouldn't she have run there in vain?

If he is caught, he will definitely die.

Qingzhi was so anxious that she paced back and forth in Xie Dong's yard. When Xie Dong came back from work, he couldn't help but smile and walked over to her. He said in a gentle voice, "What are you doing? We will be safe once we reach Shu. Go and change your clothes."

He still remembered that when he first ran into Qingzhi, she was dressed like a cute girl.

Qingzhi forced a smile and said, "Brother Xie, I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. The Mr. Gu who came today is... an old acquaintance. I don't know if he recognized me."

Xie Dong was stunned: "You mean the boss Gu who is always in the limelight? How could you recognize her? I don't think she recognized you today, Miss Qingzhi, don't think too much, just stay here with me and don't go out, no one can find you."

Xie Dong still remembered the sharp-tongued female boss, who caused him to lose a penny in profit.

Since the imperial court introduced the new law, more and more women have begun to do business. They are better at bargaining than men, so this is a place for them to show their abilities.

Xie Dong doesn't like this type of woman very much. He prefers women like Qingzhi, who is weak and fragile and has to rely on men completely to survive.

Qingzhi felt very uncomfortable when she heard him say that, but after all, he was her benefactor who had saved her many times, so she did not argue and just lowered her head in silence.

Xie Dong was very busy, so he said a few words of comfort and went to the front yard. Not long after, someone brought a message saying that he was going to have a drink with some old friends, and asked Qingzhi to eat by herself.

Qingzhi thought about it again and again. She trusted Gu Zhen very much. If she kept it secret, it would be unfair to the other party's advice in Qinghe Town. It would be better to be frank and make plans later.

She changed her clothes, still dressed as a man, and quietly slipped out from the backyard.

Qingzhi didn't think she had many other advantages, but she was pretty good at finding her way. The terrain in Shu was complicated, and she had only been here for one day, but she had memorized the way to the restaurant.

It was only when she got there that she found out that Mr. Gu had returned to the main store. The waiter showed her the way, and Qingzhi thanked him and went there.

Gu Zhen was being helped into the carriage by Wen Zhao. He had finished his shift early today and came to pick up his wife on the way home.

The people of Yuzhou all know that Lord Wen has three loves: his wife, money, and calligraphy and painting. When they ask him to do something, the first thing they do is give jewelry to his wife and the second is to give him famous paintings.

I can’t guarantee that it will work, but it is certain that the adults will be willing to show some favor to me.

Now, Lord Wen has done several tasks for the King of Shu and is a very famous person in Shu.

Wen Zhao ignored everyone's gazes, gently carried Gu Zhen into the carriage, and followed in.

From Qingzhi's perspective, she could also see Wen Zhao tilting his head and kissing Gu Zhen on the forehead.

It's so sweet, and she doesn't care about those worldly etiquettes.

Who doesn't know about their past relationship?

Why would Wen Zhao give up everything for Gu Zhen and come to this remote Shu land?

Qingzhi felt bitter and didn't know when she caught up with the carriage until she turned a street and saw several people suddenly appear from nowhere and hold her down. Only then did Qingzhi realize that she had been discovered long ago.

She was brought to the front of the carriage. Wen Zhao stood there with his hands behind his back, looking down at her.

"You are... Miss Kiyoeda?"

Wen Zhao's voice was calm but frighteningly cold. He was totally unlike the bright and shy boy he was in Qinghe Town.

Qingzhi was very scared and regretted her rashness. Who would hide something for her just for the little bit of friendship they had a few years ago?

Before she could answer, the carriage moved and Gu Zhen came out.

Gu Zhen didn't expect Qingzhi to come to see her. She couldn't guess what this child was thinking. She trusted others too much.

When Wen Zhao saw Gu Zhen, his expression and voice immediately warmed up. He reached out and carried her down from the carriage, then took the umbrella from the guard and used it to cover Gu Zhen's head.

"What are you doing? Why don't you let the person go?" Gu Zhen frowned.

Qingzhi immediately felt her arm, which had been nearly broken, breathe again. Gu Zhen stepped forward and helped her up: "Since I pretended not to recognize you, why did you come to recognize me?"

"Madam..." Qingzhi was actually very scared along the way. Even though she had Xie Dong protecting her, she had never trusted him wholeheartedly. Now when she saw Gu Zhen, her nose immediately felt sore and she burst into tears.

Gu Zhen is a man who is compassionate to women. He also has some admiration for girls who develop a rebellious heart under the oppression of feudal ethics.

She held Qingzhi in her arms and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, come to my house and talk."

Wen Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at his wife's posture of protecting the flower, hugging a servant in men's clothes. It seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.

The guards beside him looked at him intently, not daring to look at him any more.

Gu Zhen rolled his eyes at Wen Zhao and pulled Qingzhi onto the carriage. Wen Zhao had no choice but to ride back on horseback by himself and hid in the study when he arrived at the mansion.

It was also a coincidence that Xie Songhan had just received a letter two days ago, saying that the concubine in his family had escaped, and he hoped that his junior brother would help keep an eye on her.

He was suddenly in a dilemma.

Gu Zhen had her own courtyard for private meetings. She pulled Qingzhi to sit down and said, "It's been more than five years since we last met. How come you've become so thin? You look like you'll fall over if the wind blows."

Qingzhi smiled shyly: "Maybe it's too hot, I can't eat anything."

She sipped her tea, organized her words, and knelt in front of Gu Zhen without saying a word: "I came to see Madam because I felt guilty for avoiding you after receiving your advice in Qinghe Town. I didn't expect to be discovered by Lord Wen. Qingzhi only asks you for one thing, first...don't tell the prince about my experience in Shu, okay?"

Gu Zhen pulled her up and said, "Don't kneel down all the time. We women have gold under our knees. Since you have escaped, you are no longer a concubine of the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. Since I don't know you, why should I say this?"

"Don't worry, Wen Zhao doesn't dare to tell anyone."

Qingzhi was moved, and the tears that had been suppressed for a long time burst out: "Thank you, Madam. I don't know why, but whenever I see you, I feel very close and trustful."

Gu Zhen smiled and didn't ask her why she left the capital. Instead, she mentioned Xie Dong.

"I see he treats you differently. Are you planning to marry him?"

Qingzhi's eyes were blank: "No... I just don't know how to repay him for saving my life. I don't have the ability to stand on my own feet, so it seems that I can only marry him."

"You don't even know his family background, whether he has a wife or not, yet you dare to marry him. Isn't it like jumping from one cage to another? What's the point of escaping?"

Gu Zhen shook her head. She was awakened, but not completely awakened. Otherwise, in the original book, she would not have decided to return to the capital with Xie Songhan.

Trying to be a good wife of a prince in a square courtyard is contrary to the original intention of dreaming of a free life.

Qingzhi stared at Gu Zhen blankly, as if she had been hit on the head with a stick. Her head was buzzing, as if something had blocked her thinking and was now shattering bit by bit.

Yes, cage, what’s wrong with her? She escaped with so much difficulty, why does she still need to rely on a man!

Wasn't it enough that I had suffered at the hands of Xie Songhan? Wasn't it enough that my trust, dependence, and commitment had been trampled upon?

Qingzhi felt a pain in her heart, her face turned pale, and her body was shaking. She was like a wild flower swaying in the wind and rain. If she couldn't withstand the wind and rain, she would probably die.

Gu Zhen looked at her quietly. The situation was a little different from the plot. In the original plot, at least until now, the reforms had not been implemented smoothly.

But now is a good time.
