Li Shuangwan smiled. It was her luck to meet Gu Xingyan in this life. "He is very good. Commander Lu is also very good to you. By the way, how did you end up with him?"

"Tell me quickly, is there anything interesting happening here?"

Li Shuangwan wanted to stop her from living in hatred forever. Now all she had to do was to try her best to get the man from the Hu family back alive.

Logically, Hu Muyan was extremely disappointed with the Northern Jin Dynasty. As Lu Dongqing was a close and loyal minister of Emperor Jingzhang, there was no way she could get along with him.

Although the reputation of the Jinyiwei has improved over the years.

But in the eyes of the world, the Jinyiwei are still the emperor's running dogs.

Hu Muyan was immersed in sweetness: "Not long after you gave me the five thousand taels of silver, wasn't there a saying that 'it chilled the hearts of our ancestors underground'?"

"Ah."

Hu Muyan said with disgust on her face: "The emperor thought it was the women of our Hu family who spread the news. Two days later, he asked Dong Qing to lead a group of Jinyiwei to investigate the Hu family again. At that time, we could only live in a dilapidated temple in the east of the city. He found the money."

Li Shuangwan was shocked: "What about him?"

Hu Muyan shook her head, with a gentle smile on her face: "He pretended not to see it, and even asked his servants to bring us cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the winter, as well as a lot of food."

"Then, my shop gradually became more popular. He would come here intentionally or unintentionally to buy some things and sit for a while. Those troublemakers no longer dared to come."

Li Shuangwan understood.

Hu Muyan is like the toughest pine tree in winter. She supports the entire Hu family with her frail body.

This was extremely attractive to Lu Dongqing, and he was deeply moved.

This commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who seems like a demon to the world, also has his own tenderness.

He admired such a woman very much and appreciated her more, so he was willing to lend a helping hand.

This time, I got deeply involved.

"Sister Wan, I can't stay here for too long, so I'll leave first. I won't tell anyone about your identity, and I won't tell anyone about Dong Qing either."

Li Shuangwan smiled and nodded: "You and Commander Lu, you two should also be careful. Especially Commander Lu, he is a close minister of the emperor, and Emperor Jingzhang is now bedridden. If Ling Heng ascends the throne one day, he is not a broad-minded person."

In his previous life, not long after Ling Heng ascended the throne, he reshuffled the ministers in the court, and Lu Dongqing was one of them.

His end was very miserable. He was castrated and became a eunuch. He was sent by Ling Heng to guard the imperial tomb of Emperor Jingzhang.

The only two servants in the house were dispersed.

His old mother froze to death one winter night.

Even so, Ling Heng did not allow him to come back to take care of his mother's funeral. He just asked someone to wrap her up in a tattered straw mat and buried her without even a thin coffin.

The entire Hu family died out not long after the male members of Old Master Hu's clan were exiled.

Before her death, Lu Dongqing was still guarding the imperial tomb alone in misery.

"Yes, I know."

Li Shuangwan held her hand and said, "After you leave here, just pretend you don't know me. Do you understand? There are many things I can't tell you right now, but I don't want you to get involved. Promise me that you will live your life well."

The man from the Hu family is still in Wushan Pass, and she doesn't want to put her in danger.

Hu Muyan looked at her: "Sister Yan?"

"Don't let Lord Lu get involved. You must agree to my request."

Hu Muyan looked at her silently for a long time before slowly nodding: "Okay."

In fact, what Li Shuangwan wanted to tell her was that if possible, Lu Dongqing should resign as soon as possible.

But, she shouldn't have said this.

Lu Dongqing and Hu Muyan are both extremely insightful people. The foundation of the Northern Jin Dynasty is rotten to the core.

Those in high positions enjoy peace and prosperity every day and are oblivious to the suffering of the people.

There can be no innovation unless it is torn down.

After seeing Hu Muyan off, Li Shuangwan still sat in the room for a long time.

Gu Xingyan pushed the door open and sat next to her.

Li Shuangwan raised his head and looked at him: "Why don't you ask me why you told her the truth?"

Gu Xingyan reached out and gently placed his large hand on the back of her hand: "The friends you make are trustworthy. Since you have decided to say it, I will respect your opinion."

"Of course, if she walks out of this place and dares to tell this matter to others, no matter who is behind her, I will not let her stay."

Li Shuangwan smiled and patted the back of his hand, resting her head on the man's broad shoulders and wrapping her arms around his waist: "Xingyan, you are so nice."

The man smiled: "You just realized how good I am?"

Li Shuangwan closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and stretched out his voice: "Well~~No, in fact, I have always known that you are very good. I knew it on the first day of my rebirth. Especially after I knew that person was you, I knew that there is no one better than you in this world."

Gu Xingyan seemed to be pleased by these words and kissed her on the lips: "I will be proud if you say that."

Li Shuangwan kissed him back: "Be proud, you have the right to be proud."

Gu Xingyan squeezed her hard before pulling her up: "Let's go, it's getting late, I'll take you home."

"it is good."

Gu Xingyan put the hairpin back on her bun: "Why did you remember to wear it today?"

Li Shuangwan stretched out the bracelet on her hand and shook it in front of Gu Xingyan: "I don't know who deliberately opened a gold shop, and the black-hearted shopkeeper took one thousand taels of silver from me."

Gu Xingyan chuckled: "It's all yours. From now on, all the money in the family will be managed by Madam."

Li Shuangwan thought of something: "How is Li Shuangzhi doing?"

"Huang Sheng used a lot of precious medicinal materials and her condition has stabilized. I'll observe her for another two days, then I'll take you to see her."

"I can go by myself. Where does she live?"

"Xingshui Hutong. Ling Heng sent a large number of secret guards to protect her. It's not easy to get in there."

"They are just a few secret guards. Why, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, do you have no confidence in my martial arts?"

Gu Xingyan's eyes were full of tenderness and he put his arm around the girl's shoulders: "If anyone dares to say that the woman I like is not good enough, I will beat him till he is left with a broken tooth!"

"What if it is 'this king' himself?"

"Hit him too!"

"Okay, let me help you."

"Are you willing?"

"I can't help it. The man I love has spoken. Can I not help him?"

Gu Xingyan pushed her against the door, protected the back of her head with his right hand, and kissed her, mumbling, "I'll help you lead the secret guards away."

Li Shuangwan was kissed so hard that she couldn't even respond to him.

When Li Shuangwan said the word "love", Gu Xingyan felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. The warmth spread from his limbs to his whole body and to his internal organs.

Li Shuangwan discovered that this man was very passionate about this matter.

She also enjoyed it and responded with ecstasy.
