[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Xingchi raised his eyebrows and smiled, lowered his head and poured tea for himself and Sister Feng.

Sister Feng: "..." You are really rude.

After a while, he raised his eyes, and his voice was low and sweet, "Oh, how do you say that?"

In the night, this voice has a sense of confusion, like a cup of peach blossom wine, with traces of sweetness, soaking into the heart.

Sister Feng couldn't help shivering, she chuckled, "Master Hou looks cynical and doesn't care about political affairs, but in fact everything is under your control?"

Speaking of this, Gu Xingchi's smile faltered, and then returned to normal in an instant, the red mole between his eyebrows turned dark red in the dark.

He blew on the tea, noncommittal.

Sister Feng said again: "There are indeed assassins tonight, and they are here to assassinate you. No, to be precise, this is with your acquiescence. You know that someone is watching you, looking for an opportunity to kill you, but you still pretend I don’t know, hiding at the critical moment, watching the people behind the scenes fall short, watching them panic because they can’t find you, you don’t even mind other people knowing that you have been assassinated, and your life and death are unknown. The Marquis is someone valued by His Majesty, if If His Majesty finds out about the assassination, it will definitely attract the wrath of the emperor. Since this is the case, it is natural to seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow, and even if His Majesty finds out by then, it will not help the matter." Sister Feng looked into his eyes and said in a low voice, "And Now, obviously, they are not sure whether you are dead, so they will naturally search. Now on the water, where can you escape even if you escape, you can only be on a certain boat. How can you let those people accept the search obediently? Naturally, they took advantage of their power to search for assassins. Hou Ye just returned to Beijing, and there were very few people who saw him in the past. If he was really found, he could be dealt with as an assassin. But, Lord Hou hid on the Wang family's boat—"

Sister Feng's voice was soft but resounding, "Isn't everything within Master Hou's calculations? You have already planned to use me and the Wang family. You know that those people dare not search the Wang family's boat and hide here on purpose. After a pause, Sister Feng mocked, "No, how could this be 'Tibetan'? Lord Hou appeared to me openly and aboveboard."

Although she was smiling, there was a sullen look in her eyes.Gu Xingchi wanted to laugh when he wanted to get angry but forced himself to be cold.Suddenly, he thought of the white cat at home, which was kind of cute in pride.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingchi was taken aback.Although the girl in front of me is charming and charming, but thinking of her appearance of calculating others, how can she be "cute"?

After being silent for a while, he said frankly, "Miss Wang, why bother to get angry, I really happened to meet you, and I broke into your boat out of desperation, girl, please don't misunderstand me."

Sister Feng didn't answer his words, and said to herself, "I don't dare to search the Wang family's boat, one is because they are not as powerful as the Wang family, and I am afraid of offending the Wang family. Second, I don't dare to offend the Wang family, but it is to win them over. Now there are even The Hou Ye dared to assassinate, obviously because of the latter. It is precisely because Hou Ye knew this that he dared to swagger into the Wang family's boat. Those people got nothing tonight, but the Wang family's boat was the only one that was not searched. You said, behind the scenes How would people guess the Wang family?" There was no smile on her face, and every word was full of indifference, "Master Gu, it's not kind of you to do this."

She was calm on the surface, but in fact she was extremely angry in her heart.Once reborn, no one dared to plot against her like this, how dare Gu Xingchi!This reminded her of how she was played and applauded by Mrs. Wang and others in her previous life. How could she not be resentful?

A gust of wind blows, the candle flickers and becomes bright again.The candlelight illuminated the faces of the two of them, one was handsome and coquettish with a graceful smile, the other had a gorgeous complexion with hidden anger.

Compared with the past when she was indifferent, Sister Feng's eyebrows and eyes are much more vivid.Sure enough, good-looking people are just as attractive even when they are angry.

"I did intend to take advantage of the girl." Gu Xingchi casually picked up the scissors and cut off some wicks. It was obviously an ordinary action, but he did it with a little more elegance, as pleasing to the eye as a painting. "However, I also helped you, didn't I?"

Sister Feng was slightly startled, thinking about the meaning of his words, and then sneered, "Isn't Hou Ye looking for excuses for what he did?"

She really wanted Prince Teng to stay away from the battle for succession, but she couldn't tolerate someone using her like this.

"It's okay for you to think like this." Gu Xingchi made a thoughtful gesture.

Sister Feng smiled angrily, "I've never seen such a thick-skinned person like Lord Hou."

Gu Xingchi smiled and said nothing.

Sister Feng breathed repeatedly and suppressed her anger. She told herself not to get angry with this kind of person, but to maintain the dignity and peace of our young lady.

"I don't know where Master Hou is going next?" She smiled softly.

Gu Xingchi felt that this smile was really creepy, so he took it for granted, "Of course I will go wherever the girl goes."

This is to borrow the ship of the Wang family.

Sister Feng let out a breath to calm herself down, "Oh, Master Hou is going to Jiangnan too?"

Gu Xingchi nodded, and tapped his slender fingers a few times.

Sister Feng looked at him scrutinizingly, "Master Hou is really good at planning, others bothered to find you, but you went to Jiangnan without any worries."

Those who wanted to keep an eye on his whereabouts behind his back, their plans were about to fail.

Gu Xingchi pointed out, "I always like to be alone, I'm used to being free, isn't it the same for girls?"

Sister Feng glared at him, "I'm not the same as Lord Hou, I'm just going out to recuperate, and I don't want to cause trouble."

Gu Xingchi looked at her, "Really?"

Those peach blossom eyes flowed with spring water, always full of affection, but it made her feel a sense of insight into everything.

Subconsciously, she turned her head and stopped talking.

**

The next day, at dawn, Sister Feng woke up to the sound of footsteps outside.

Subconsciously, she looked for the purple figure, but she couldn't find it.

She rubbed her forehead, she somehow fell asleep last night.It was like a dream, the man disappeared as soon as he said he could not see him.

However, looking at the remnants of tea on the table and Ping'er lying on her stomach, she knew that what happened last night really happened.Gu Xingchi said that he wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River with her, shouldn't he leave the Wang family's boat?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Lin Zhixiao's family knocking on the door and coming in, with a surprised and anxious expression on his face, "Girl, go and have a look, there is...a man who claimed to be your friend and asked to borrow our the boat, but we don't know how he got there..."

She wanted to drive the man away, but seeing the man's attire and temperament, she felt timid, so she could only ask Sister Feng first.

At this time, Ping'er also woke up.She rubbed her neck, her eyes were sleepy, and her expression was confused, "Girl, why did I fall asleep with you? Why do I feel a little headache..."

Sister Feng has lost her temper, and she doesn't know how to describe her current mood.She waved her hand and said: "Don't talk about it, Ping'er, do my makeup for me."

And let Lin Zhixiao's family go back first, don't worry about that person.

In the end, Sister Feng didn't disclose Gu Xingchi's identity, but said that Gu Xingchi was a nobleman in the capital, and he should not be easily provoked, so she asked them to be cautious in their words and deeds.When he gets to the place he wants to go, he will disembark by himself.

Seeing Sister Feng's serious face, everyone agreed slowly.
