Chapter 684: Night Detective

"Whether it's nonsense or not, the imperial aunt knows best. Gu Wanning pulled the corners of his lips sarcastically, and secretly had doubts in his heart.

I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I think about it, after the death of the eldest prince, the Wang family should have stayed in the palace of the king of Chu to raise the county lord of Gaoyang. Why do you insist on coming to Jingyun Temple?

Could it be that there is another reason for this?

Wang was poked in the sore spot, and he was extremely angry, and looked at each other angrily: "Gu, although you are the princess, you are only a junior in front of me." If you speak ill words like this, aren't you afraid of losing a reputation for disrespecting your elders?"

Gu Guanning shot back unmoved: "The imperial aunt was mean first, I respect the elders, and only then can I learn." Moreover, everything I said was the truth, so why not respect the elders. ”

Wang: "......"

I heard that Gu Wanning had a sharp tongue and a difficult temperament, and today he finally understood it in person.

Wang's qi and blood surged, but he insisted on pressing it down.

It's a long time to come!

Let Gu Wanning go for the time being, and you will always find an opportunity in the future...... At that time, she will definitely let Gu Wanning taste regret.

Wang restrained his anger and said lightly: "You have worked hard all the way, and you suddenly arrived here from the capital, and it is inevitable that you will be impetuous and impetuous and impulsive. You go to settle first, and then the two of us will talk and chat. ”

The last sentence implies irony.

No matter how powerful you are, haven't you been driven to Jingyun Nunnery?

It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.

Gu Wanning didn't move, and smiled faintly: "What the imperial aunt said is, then I will come back tomorrow to ask for peace." ”

After speaking, he got up and saluted the juniors, and then turned to leave.

As an elder, Wang didn't need to get up to see him off. The cold gaze stared straight at Gu Wanning's back until Gu Wanning's figure disappeared by the door.

……

By the time Gu Wanning settled down, it was already completely dark.

There are more than a dozen large and small backyards built in Jingyun Nunnery, and the Wang family occupies the largest and most spacious one, and the other courtyards that are cleaned up elegantly and quietly are also inhabited.

Of the remaining courtyards, Gu Wanning deliberately picked the most secluded one.

In the courtyard there was a main hall and east and west wings, as well as several rooms for servants. Gu Wanning's master and servants lived in several people, which was more than enough.

There is also a kitchen in the yard with pots and utensils.

When Pearl entered the kitchen, it was a busy job. I didn't have time to clean up carefully, so I first used the pots and utensils I brought, boiled a pot of japonica rice porridge, made a few plates of salty crispy baked cakes, and fried four light vegetables.

Gu Wanning's appetite was not bad, and he ate a bowl of porridge and two baked cakes before putting down his chopsticks.

Linlang led a few maids to put the cage in the cage, and cleaned the east wing where Gu Wanning lived carefully, but it was still not clean enough.

Gu Wanning smiled casually: "It's not too late to clean up tomorrow." After two days of hurrying, and now you are busy with your work, and you all go to rest. ”

Linlang said, "Tonight, the slave maid will stay with Miss!"

In the past, when he was in Wutong Residence, Gu Wanning was used to being alone with his grandson, and he didn't leave a maid to watch the night. Now that I have arrived at Jingyun Nunnery, there is no grandson by my side, and a pair of children are not in front of me, so I must be very lonely.

Gu Wanning's heart swelled with warmth, but he smiled in his mouth: "No need. Go and rest early, and come back tomorrow morning. It doesn't hurt if I'm alone. ”

Linlang saw that Gu Wanning was very persistent, so she had to give up.

Fortunately, Jingyun Nunnery is built halfway up the mountain, and there are guards guarding it at the foot of the mountain, and there are no people around. At most, it's deserted at night, and there won't be any long-eyed thieves!

……

After the maids retreated, the room soon fell silent.

It's winter, and the temperature on the mountain is a bit cooler than below. There is no shortage of money here, and two silver frost charcoal basins are burned in the house. The chill and humidity were driven away slightly, but it was not warm.

A candlestick was left in the corner of the room, emitting a soft dim glow, which added a little warmth to the cold room.

Gu Wanning stared at the candlestick, but what he thought of in his heart was a pair of children.

In the past, at night, she always had to stay with the child for a long time, and only then would she go back to bed when the child slept sweetly. Although the child is taken care of by a nursing mother, she can't be away from her for a while.

In the past two days since she left, I don't know how many times Gillian and Ayi cried...... Thinking of this, Gu Wanning's heart was sour, and his eyes were slightly hot.

She doesn't worry about her husband. Xiao Xu has always been forbearant and self-controlled, even in adversity, he can hold on and find a way to reverse the contrarian trend.

She is not worried about the crown princess, the crown princess is no longer as weak and useless as before, and she has a firm foothold in the inner house, even the prince can't catch her mistakes, so she can't.

What really worried her was her grandmother and her children.

Calculate the time, at this time in my previous life, my grandmother had fallen ill on the couch...... In this life, everyone's fate has changed subtly because of her. I just hope that my grandmother can be stronger and never be crushed.

Before you know it, time has passed quietly, and the time has passed.

The people in Jingyun Nunnery have all rested.

The mountains are not quiet, the mountain wind blows through the window lattice, and the occasional crow can be heard crying at night.

Gu Guanning not only did not feel sleepy, but became more and more awake, listening to the sounds outside. Suddenly, his brows moved slightly, and he quickly grabbed the bow and arrow beside him.

This pair of bows and arrows was given to her by the grandson himself. In the past few years, she has been practicing archery with this pair of bows and arrows, insisting on half an hour every day and never letting go.

Draw your bow, take your arrows, and aim at the gaps in the lattice.

Gu Wanning had no smile on his face, his eyes were cold, he was holding a bow and arrow, and said coldly: "Get out!"

There was no abnormal sound outside the window lattice, it was still the whirring of the wind.

Gu Wanning didn't move, and his voice was not raised: "If you dare to open the window, I will let your blood splash here today." ”

The icy sound came through the crack to the window.

A man's voice finally sounded outside the window: "If you shoot an arrow and hurt me, it will make a noise." If you attract people from Jingyun Nunnery, how will you explain it then?"

This voice is equally low and indifferent. It's so familiar again.

Sure enough, it was him!

"Because of your mother's infidelity, you were implicated and sent to Jingyun Nunnery. If you and I are found 'meeting' in the middle of the night, your reputation will be difficult to wash. ”

The voice outside the window sounded again: "At that time, even Xiao Xu can't protect you." How can you be so smart that you can't figure this out. Now to say that it hurts people is nothing more than a bluff. ”

Gu Wanning's pupils shrank slightly, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, the bow and arrow in his hand did not relax, and he would release arrows to hurt people at any time: "You can try it and see if I bluff." ”

There was no sound outside the window.

One of the two was in the room and the other was outside the window, and they confronted each other silently for a long time.

The lattice suddenly moved.

Gu Wanning released the arrow without hesitation.
