Seeing that it was dark outside, but Gu Qingwan had no one yet, Zhuang Yuexian was already waiting at the inn full of anxiety.

Seeing Gu Qingwan come back safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Gu Qingwan to sit down in front of the Eight Immortals table, and asked her about her outside today.

Gu Qing didn't think about how to talk to Zhuang Yuexian about Qin Yu for a while, so she first asked how Zhuang Yuexian was at the inn today.

I don't want Zhuang Yuexian to smile and say, "You wait, sister-in-law will give you something." ”

She got up as she spoke, turned back to the bed, took something from under the pillow, turned around and handed it to Gu Qingwan. Seeing that it was a piece of paper like a contract, Gu Qingwan was slightly surprised and unfolded it under the lamp to take a look.

The paper turned out to be the real estate deed of a small courtyard, Gu Qingwan raised her eyes and looked at Zhuang Yuexian inquiringly, Zhuang Yuexian said with a smile: "Not long after you left this morning, that Sun Yapo came over, saying that she was entrusted by you to find a clean and peaceful second house." She went back yesterday to inquire with a few old sisters, and she really met a suitable one, so she hurriedly looked for it early this morning. The sister-in-law can't find you for a while, plus this house is in demand, several buyers are interested, the sister-in-law thought that the opportunity could not be missed, so she and Aunt Liu, with the grandson Yapo to see. ”

She poured Gu Qingwan a cup of tea, and then said: "The yard is really good, the second entrance, although it is a little shabby, but the place is good." In Wutong Alley, there are all petty officials and officials living in that area, there are no messy people, and they are clean and tight. This house was originally the dowry of the second wife of the Yunfang family in Dali Temple, because the six girls under the knee of the second wife were going out of the cabinet, but the husband's family was from Huzhou. Mrs. Fang Er wanted to sell this house, exchange it for a silver ticket, and then let people go to Huzhou to buy some good dowries for the sixth girl, because we ran into it. Usually, this Wutong Lane can't meet such a good house at all. Sister-in-law looked, the yard is really good, the asking price is a little high, but it is also within the market price. He spent 800 taels of silver to buy the house, and gave Sun Yapo 20 taels of silver, and Sun Yapo took care of it single-handedly, and took the sister-in-law to complete the deed in one go. ”

Gu Qingwan didn't expect that the search for a house would be so smooth, and she was also happy when she finally had a place to stay, and said: "Sister-in-law knows more about these things than me, and the yard is good for sister-in-law to look at, it must be good." It's just that I'm not a permanent resident, so I'm afraid I can't live until I repair it, right? ”

Zhuang Yuexian shook her head and said, "There's no need to repair it, when we move in, we can slowly pick it up." I picked two mothers-in-law from Sun Yapo, a maid and a servant, and they all stayed in the house, and they will clean up today, and tomorrow we will leave the inn and move in. This inn is full of people, in the end, there is a lot of inconvenience, and it also costs a lot of money, and it is a day to live less. ”

The inn is a mixed place, it is indeed not suitable to stay for a long time, Gu Qingwan is always worried that Zhuang Yuexian will have an accident when she is outside, so she naturally agrees.

Zhuang Yuexian was going to pull Gu Qingwan to pack up her things and leave early tomorrow morning, Gu Qingwan grabbed Zhuang Yuexian and said, "Sister-in-law sit, I also have something to show my sister-in-law." ”

Zhuang Yuexian saw that her face was solemn, and she unconsciously restrained the smile on her face, but saw Gu Qingwan take out a ball of things wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and put it in her hand.

Zhuang Yuexian opened it and took a look, only two flowing red lights were felt under the candlelight, which attracted people's eyes, and the handkerchief was wrapped in a pair of blood jade bracelets that Gu Qingwan brought out from the dark room of Prince Yi's mansion.

Zhuang Yuexian was suddenly shocked and said, "Where did you get it from?" ”

With her eyesight, she naturally saw that this pair of jade bracelets was worth a lot of money, and Gu Qing only ran out for a day late, so she brought back such a thing, how could she not be surprised and shocked.

Gu Qingwan didn't tell Zhuang Yuexian that she had met Qin Yu again in the capital, but now that she and Qin Yu had a quarrel like this, and Zhou Rui's death, seeing that the matter couldn't be hidden from Zhuang Yuexian, Gu Qingwan had to tell the two days in detail.

Zhuang Yuexian's face turned pale after listening to the beginning and the end, grabbed Gu Qingwan's hand, and said: "Now that we have a temporary household registration and silver money, we must get some silver taels for the government." Let's not stay in the capital, get a road guide, hire a dart shop, and go out of Beijing to find your eldest brother! I can't stay in this capital! ”

Zhuang Yuexian was about to take action as she spoke, Gu Qingwan smiled bitterly and pulled her to sit down, and said, "Sister-in-law, if you really hire a dart bureau, you can go to the border to find the eldest brother, and we won't come to the capital to settle down in the first place." What's more, now that Zhou Rui is dead, how can the Zhou family and the Wu Mansion stop? Zhou Rui is the only grandson of the Zhou family and the only grandson of Wu Guogong, I am afraid that as soon as I leave the capital, the Zhou and Wu families will have to follow. ”

Zhuang Yuexian turned white, shed tears, and said, "Then let the sister-in-law just let you enter the palace of Prince Li without knowing it?" No, it's absolutely not going to work! ”

Gu Qingwan smiled bitterly, her voice was low, and she said: "Sister-in-law, I am no longer the concubine of the Gu Shoufu family in the past, and now there is only this way to go except death." If I had been in the past, I would rather die than be so humiliated, but I have already died once in Luojing City, sister-in-law, and now I want to live! I don't want to bury my life again for the sake of such a noble name, I only have one life, I have already lost it to protect my innocence, I don't want to give up my life for this again! I'm not wrong, why should I die! I want to live, no matter how difficult it is, I want to live, and I want to live a life! ”

Gu Qingwan naturally wouldn't look for death and life because she was forced by Qin Yu, but it was difficult to say the master, so she had to say these words to calm Zhuang Yuexian's heart.

Zhuang Yuexian was stunned, but she had accepted the change in Gu Qingwan's personality these days, and she had indeed walked between life and death in Luojing City, and what she said was very reasonable, so she didn't doubt it much, but she took Gu Qingwan into her arms with distressed tears, followed her hair, and said: "Why is God so blind, that King Yan Guang who killed a thousand knives is really revenge!" Bullying others, this is the same as robbing people's daughters

What is the difference between bullying and robbing people's daughters! ”

Gu Qingwan nestled in Zhuang Yuexian's arms, smelling the clean fragrance on her body, and the heart that was tortured today calmed down a lot, and said unconsciously: "Actually, it's not all good, didn't we suspect that the Gu family was inseparable from the Zhou family, I don't believe that my grandfather and father are heinous sinners, and if I follow King Yan Guang, maybe I can have a chance to find out the truth." ”

Zhuang Yuexian heard her say this, how could she not know that Gu Qingwan was specially comforting her, and her heart became more and more sour, but there was no way, and she said tentatively after a while: "Sister Wan, the revenge of the Gu family, whether it is revenge or revenge, it is your eldest brother's responsibility." You have a daughter's family, don't resist hard. That King Yan Guang has always been perverse and ruthless, not easy to mess with, and a place like Prince Yi's Mansion is not easy to stay in. Or...... Otherwise, you will follow Lou Shizi, at least his heart is in you. ”

Zhuang Yuexian didn't approve of Gu Qingwan going to be a concubine before, and continued to be entangled with Lou Minning, but now that she is like this, seeing Gu Qingwan staying by Qin Yu's side, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even be a concubine at that time. That Qin Yu is not a good person, who knows how long he can maintain his interest in Gu Qingwan, in comparison, Zhuang Yuexian naturally feels that Gu Qingwan will suffer less if he follows Lou Minning.

Gu Qingwan's scalp was numb, and she didn't think about it when she followed Lou Minning.

is different from Zhuang Yuexian's thoughts, if she really wants to be a concubine in desperation, she would rather choose Qin Yu than Lou Minning.

When I came to the Gu family, I don't know if it was related to the Zhenguo Mansion, but it was true that the Duchess of Zhenguo didn't like her.

Ancient women, as daughters-in-law, pleasing their mother-in-law is more important than pleasing their own men, men are away every day, mother-in-law is a direct boss, in the inner house can abuse you into a dog in minutes, and you can't say a grievance.

Gu Qingwan still understands this truth, not to mention, just like Qin Yu said before, Lou Minning will always marry a wife in the future, and his wife can't tolerate herself, Lou Minning is protecting her again, can she really spoil her concubine and destroy his wife?

And it is precisely because Lou Minning is still sincere to Gu Qingwan that Gu Qingwan can't go to be a concubine for him, she doesn't want to stage any sadomasochistic love with Lou Minning, being a concubine is already a helpless move, and then entangled in feelings, so desperate, physically and mentally exhausted, she really can't control it.

Qin Yu's side is much simpler, Prince Li and Princess Li have not had much contact with her before, so they shouldn't have any likes or dislikes for her. She doesn't have any feelings for Qin Yu, Qin Yu forced her to come here, she has nothing kind to him and is soft-hearted, and her life is more comfortable than that.

But this is all on the premise of being forced to be helpless and having to be a concubine, and it has not yet come to that point. is not at a dead end, Gu Qingwan still wants to deal with Qin Yu again, thinking of ideas.

She can support herself, and she will only be a concubine when she is crazy, this ancient concubine is bought and sold, and if she really becomes a concubine, where is there any dignity and freedom at all?

What's more, even if Daqin has just been built now, after the troubled times, the etiquette and religion have collapsed, but the people who spoil the concubine and kill the wife will still be spurned by the world, and the transcendent status of the main room will not be shaken by the troubled times.

Although this ancient concubine is morally permissible and recognized by the ancient society, in terms of comfortable status, it is not as good as a modern junior who is not recognized by the society.

What's more, even if the ancient concubine room was not so difficult to mix, she was pampered and raised since she was a child, and it was not for the sake of growing up to be a concubine. But if there is a glimmer of hope, she can't just admit it!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingwan raised her head from Zhuang Yuexian's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe things can take a turn for the better." What's more, now I must not let the Zhou and Wu families find out that I am Gu Qingwan, otherwise they will not spare me! is a criminal courtier, and when she goes to the palace, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get any good. In this way, there is no way to be a concubine for Lou Minning! ”

Zhuang Yuexian couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this, Gu Qingwan comforted her a few words, although her heart was even heavier, but seeing that her sister-in-law had grown up now, she didn't know how uncomfortable she was, and she had to bother to explain her, so she also cheered up and talked to Gu Qingwan about the next things.

The two discussed how to live after moving into Wutong Lane, and discussed the matter of entrusting someone to the border to find Gu Xianzhen, so they rested early.

Changning Street at night faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, quiet and peaceful, and a few black shadows suddenly flashed on the continuous roof, like a phantom under the night sky, and almost instantly flashed above the Fuyuan Inn where Gu Qingwan was.

One of the figures swept straight towards the window of room No. 4 on the second floor where Gu Qingwan was, and as soon as he approached, another black shadow suddenly flashed out of nowhere, and a silver light flashed, guarding the window, until the person took two steps back.

The visitor didn't seem surprised, nor did he panic, but with a slight turn, the silver light disappeared into the night, and he flew to stand on the eaves on the side, staring at the dark shadow guarding the window, and said, "Get out of the way!" ”

This is not someone else, it is Song Ning who was sent by Qin Yu to protect Gu Qingwan.

He was already dressed in night clothes at the moment, and when he heard the words, he looked at the figure standing on the eaves with his hands in his hands, and had a headache, and said, "Lord Shizi, don't be embarrassed, you are ordered to guard Miss Gu, and you really can't let Lord Shi in." ”

The person who came was Lou Minning, who was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and he was not annoyed when he heard Song Ning's words, but said lightly: "You can't stop this son!" Your lord asked you to guard here, the intention is to protect her, not to be assassinated by the Zhou and Wu families, this son is looking for her just because he has something to say, and he will not hurt her, and you give way, it is not considered to disobey your lord's orders. ”

The corners of Song Ning's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, just afraid

Xindao, I am afraid that my master will prevent the Zhou and Wu families from being like dogs, and Lou Minning will be wolves. Today he really let Lou Minning in, and Ming'er can directly raise his head to see his master.

Song Ning guarded the window, without saying a word, and he didn't mean to get out of the way. Lou Minning raised his hand slightly, and suddenly the people he brought on the roof were fighting with the palace guards who stayed here.

Lou Minning was also like lightning, rushing straight towards Song Ning. Because neither side wanted to make a big deal out of it, even if they did it, they didn't make much movement, Lou Minning has always acted cautiously and never ventured into recklessness.

Before he came, he was very clear about the deployment here, and the people who brought it happened to be able to control the scene, so when it was only two pillars of incense, he entered the room through the window.

In the house, although Gu Qingwan had already laid down, she had never fallen asleep, Lou Minning had just walked to the bed, she was alert, turned over and sat up, and said, "Who?!" ”

This is all an instinctive reaction, after shouting, she can't slap herself to wake up, if the person who came is really a villain sent by the Zhou and Wu families, she should pretend to be asleep and wait for the opportunity.

It's all Qin Yu's fault, if Fang Cai hadn't thought about his hateful actions today, so that he was upset and irritable, Fang Cai would not have lost her calm. Gu Qingwan's heart beat faster, and she couldn't help but sneak out on the bed to find something to defend herself, her eyes staring at the black shadow outside the bed curtain.

She was only wearing a white obscene dress, covered with green silk on her head, sitting behind the tent, her face was like jade, she was peerless, her shoulders were slighted, her body was light, Lou Minning was stunned, and when she saw Gu Qingwan's tense and uneasy expression, she said loudly: "Wanwan, it's me." ”

Lou Minning's voice carried some precipitated gentleness and comfort, Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and her tense back was released. Today in Prince Yi's mansion, she was taken away by Qin Yu so blatantly, Lou Minning couldn't stop her out of helplessness, how could she really rest assured that she would stay by Qin Yu's side.

Gu Qingwan sat down with the quilt in her arms, Lou Minning had already hung up the bed tent, sat down on the edge of the bed with her robe, her eyes fell on Gu Qingwan's body, but she didn't say anything for a while.

Gu Qingwan only felt that his gaze was indescribably deep and indescribable, and his heart tightened for a while, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. For a while, she felt physically and mentally exhausted, she recruited someone to provoke whom, and it was easy to get rid of a Qin Yu temporarily, but she still had to deal with Lou Minning.

She just wants to live her life quietly, settle Zhuang Yuexian, and then find a way to return to modern times as soon as possible, and she has no intention of mixing in these feelings and loves.

Feeling irritable, Gu Qingwan took the lead in opening his mouth and said, "Brother Ning came late at night, do you have anything to say to me?" I don't know what happened to Zhou Rui's death today? I heard that Zhou Dingxing went to the palace to face the saint? How did the emperor decide? ”

Lou Minning saw the change in her expression in her eyes, her eyes flashed slightly, but she opened her mouth but answered the question, and said, "Evening, when this matter is over, Brother Ning wants to send you and your sister-in-law out of the capital?" Brother Ning remembers that you read a travelogue and said that you like Songzhou the most, with the wind and smoke being clean, the Tianshan Mountains being colorful, the waterfront being leisurely, and the poetic red plums. If you have the chance, be sure to check it out. Brother Ning, send you to Songzhou to settle down, okay? ”

Gu Qingwan was stunned when she heard this, and blinked, although she understood what Lou Minning meant for a while, she couldn't react a little. She was a little surprised, Lou Minning was willing to send her away?

Lou Minning sighed and said: "As soon as Zhou Rui dies, no matter how it ends in the end, you are already a thorn in the side of the Zhou and Wu families, and they are all dangerous in the capital. ”

Lou Minning is actually right, now that she has provoked the Wu and Zhou families, and also provoked Qin Yu, she doesn't want to stay by Qin Yu's side, and she still wants to stay in the capital to live, which is simply impossible.

Unless she was sent away so that Qin Yu couldn't find her, she could be pure.

"Good!" Without waiting for Lou Minning to persuade again, Gu Qingwan responded in one go.

Lou Minning was reluctant to send Gu Qingwan away, but now that Gu Qingwan was entangled by Qin Yu, her identity really couldn't stand up to investigation, if he got into trouble with Qin Yuwan because of Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan's identity couldn't be concealed at all. At that time, her reputation was ruined, and this life was completely over.

Qin Yu pinched Gu Qingwan in his hand, so that he was now a rat thrower, and there was nothing he could do.

Lou Minning is not a cowardly and hesitant person, and there is no lack of decisiveness, he can naturally forcibly take people and bully people like Qin Yu.

But if he was willing to treat Gu Qingwan like that, he would not let her go temporarily on the way back to Beijing as early as possible, and he was always reluctant to reluctantly wronged her if she didn't want to.

Even so, he could only send her away first, he had to do his best to find out the truth about the collapse of the Gu family, and wanted to let Gu Qing recover his identity in the evening, and then take her back as a wife.

Whether he and her can have a future seems to be the only way.

When he put forward this idea, Lou Minning was really afraid that Gu Qing would refuse in the evening, but when he saw her agree, he completely let go of it in his heart.

She really didn't have the slightest nostalgia for Qin Yu, Lou Minning flashed a smile in her eyes because of her words, and then said: "The emperor has ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to jointly investigate the case of Zhou Rui's death, and the trial will start in three days, and today it has been found out that Zhou Rui was poisoned to death." When this matter is over, Brother Ning will start arranging for you to leave. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Ning." Gu Qingwan nodded again when he heard this.

The capital is a place of right and wrong, it is better for her to leave for the time being, and when she settles down in Songzhou, she will contact Gu Xianzhen and then discuss it in the long run.

Thinking like this, Gu Qing's face also had some brilliance on his face, and the whole person was like a pearl brushing away the dust, and he was a little lighter. Lou Minning's eyes shone slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Gu Qingwan's face, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on Gu Qingwan

on the lip flap.

Today in Prince Yi's mansion, she and Qin Yu fell out of the painting boat together, and the eyes of others were probably attracted by Qin Yu who vomited blood, but his eyes were always on her.

How could he not see her slightly red and swollen lips, he was a man, even if he was inexperienced, he would not be able to guess what caused that red and slightly swollen, at that time, he almost couldn't control himself, and beat Qin Yu on the spot.

At this moment, looking at Gu Qingwan's ruddy lips under the night, Lou Minning didn't realize that his eyes were slightly dark, uncontrollable, and slowly leaned over.
