The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Gucheng returned to Xu's house.

He hurriedly dismounted in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, first went to Yingcheng Courtyard to meet the Lu family, and then hurriedly went to the big house.

He was not unaware of his brother's affair back then, but now when he heard that the Xu family was in a deadlock this time because of the Wang family, he immediately blackened his face.

"Big brother, the lady of the Wang family has done an unkind job in this matter, and she wants to pull our Xu family into the water without taking into account the safety of the Wang family, it can be seen that we are hateful, and we can't be soft-hearted. Xu Gucheng was wearing a white-washed official robe, his eyes were deep, and his index finger was tapping on the table again and again, obviously thinking of countermeasures in his heart.

Something happened to the Xu family, and Xu Guyu was originally quite calm.

Over the years since he took over the Xu family's business, he has experienced ups and downs, and he will not mess up because of one thing. But since he knew that this matter was caused by Wang Ying, he could no longer be calm, but was a little hurried.

First, he knew the ruthlessness of Wang Ying's methods and her hatred for him, and second, he was worried that because of this incident, the Ding family would know what happened many years ago, so he would break away from him.

Ding's temperament is fierce and extremely strong, and he was allowed to take a concubine only after giving birth to three daughters in a row in the past without seeing his son. If he knew that he had something to do with other women during her pregnancy, he would not be able to spare him, and the final reconciliation was already the lightest, he didn't dare to imagine what Ding would do after knowing what happened more than ten years ago.

Xu Guyu really didn't know about Wang Ying's pregnancy back then, he only thought that Wang Ying had broken his mind, and later asked someone to send her some property in order to express his apology, but they all returned back.

He thought that the two had nothing to do with each other, but five years ago, he found that the seventh lady of the Wang family looked a little similar to him, and only after careful inquiry did he realize that Wang Qiniang might be his daughter.

Those months. He didn't even dare to look into Ding's eyes, for fear that Ding would know something.

Xu Gucheng also learned about this incident that year, and secretly hated his brother for acting inappropriately back then, but he was powerless to remedy it.

For this incident, Xu Gucheng analyzed it very comprehensively. said: "The Wang family is not the most important, what matters is the people in the capital, if you say something in front of the emperor, the emperor thinks a little more, and if you have doubts, the future of the Xu family will be gone." ”

Xu Guyu nodded in agreement. Rubbing his fingers on the edge of the teacup and said, "I have found out that this matter is related to Mrs. Wang and Second Master Wang, I wonder if it is related to Uncle Wang and Old Mrs. Wang?"

"Mrs. Wang will not have anything to do with this matter, at most she will solve the follow-up matters for her and her children. She is shrewd in her life, she will not do such a risky thing, and Wang Niangzi did not care about the interests of the Wang family at all this time. Just for revenge. ”

Hearing the word revenge, Xu Guyu's hand trembled slightly, and the water in his hand almost spilled out.

Does Wang Ying want to seek revenge on him?

But it was Wang Ying who seduced him back then, and it was her own indiscretion.

She was originally an old girl, and she couldn't get married, like being alone, and it had nothing to do with him.

Xu Guyu swallowed his saliva and drank the whole cup of water to moisten his throat. He said with difficulty: "Wen Chang, what should I do? I can't let your sister-in-law know about this, and the Xu family can't be ruined because of this matter." Otherwise, my father wouldn't have let me go. There was a pleading in his voice.

Every time he asked Xu Gucheng, Xu Guyu would call him directly, as if in this way he could not lose his dignity as a brother.

Xu Gucheng looked at his brother, who was three years older than him, sighed silently, and said, "You can handle the affairs of the Wang family, the affairs of the capital." I'll ask first, and it's best to solve it. If it can't be solved, the danger will be minimized. ”

Xu Guyu listened and nodded hurriedly. The brows that had been frowning finally relaxed a little, and he looked at Xu Gucheng expectantly: "Go quickly, don't miss the opportunity." ”

"Okay, the Wang family will hand it over to the eldest brother. Xu Gucheng hurriedly got up, hurried to Yingcheng Courtyard, and went to the small study to write a letter before he had time to wash. …

Lu Shi looked distressed, and put a towel to help him wipe the sweat on his forehead.

After only two wipes, there was a layer of dust on the towel, which showed his hurry on the road.

On the other side, Xu Guyu took the tea soup brought by Ding, half-lay on the futon and said happily: "The second brother said that he will solve the matter over there in the capital, so you don't have to worry." ”

Ding nodded, her second uncle does have some skills, and with him in the background, things will be much easier.

When Xu Yu returned to the Hibiscus Pavilion from the tea room in the afternoon, he saw Xu Pingqi standing outside the courtyard.

This calm and silent younger brother came to her for the first time, and she couldn't help but smile and walk over quickly.

Xu Pingqi was dressed in a white robe, except for a piece of jade around his waist, there was no other decoration, his face was still calm as water, and he was different from his age.

Promise to be willing, let the two retreat away.

Only then did Xu Pingqi speak: "Why did you let the man into your room?"

"Huh?"

Xu Promise couldn't hold back and shouted loudly.

She even thought that Xu Pingqi would ask her if she was his real sister, but she didn't expect him to ask this.

She opened her eyes and said nonsense, "No." She was sure that she would make no difference between telling a lie and telling the truth, her body movements, and her facial expressions.

Xu Pingqi's always calm and waveless eyes were a little more probing: "You let that person stay overnight, what if he is injured?"

Xu Yu didn't expect Xu Pingqi to know that Xiao Yuan had come to her room, and he didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would stay in a coma He also knew, but she was inexplicably moved that Xu Pingqi's first concern was her comfort, not the so-called reputation and reputation.

Although she was moved, she would not admit this kind of thing: "Don't talk nonsense, when did a man appear in the inner courtyard of the Xu family, and with such a high wall, no one would break in." ”

"Aren't you often climbing over the wall to get in and out of the house?" Xu Gucheng's voice was very low, but Xu Yu still heard it clearly.

This time, she could no longer hide or admit it: "How do you know?"

"I got up early to study in the verandah, and I saw you dressed as a man many times. Xu Pingqi's eyes had regained their usual calmness, and they were as straight as a small pine tree in the breeze.

"When did it start?" Xu Yu couldn't stop smiling for a long time, he thought he had sneaked out without knowing it, but he didn't expect to show his feet in front of this nine-year-old brother.

She slipped out on weekdays either at night or early when everyone in the Xu family didn't get up, but at that time, Xu Pingqi was already studying in the verandah?

"Early February. Xu Pingqi stared at Xu Yu without any hesitation to say this time.

At the beginning of February, Xu Yu had just crossed here, and he had only slipped out twice to save the Lu family, but he was discovered?

But later, she wore men's clothes and went out with Hu Ling openly, and when he met Xu Pingqi, he clearly didn't recognize her at first, and later realized that she was dressed as a man.

So, at that time, his love was just a disguise?
