The sudden movement frightened Qiao'er's body slightly, and she subconsciously blocked in front of Gu Mingzhu.

"Miss, are you alright?" Qiao'er asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu lowered his eyes and said with a calm expression: "Miss Ben is fine. ”

After saying that, she waved her hand and motioned for Qiao'er to stand back, and she stepped into the hall with broken steps.

Then she bowed and said, "Zhu'er has said goodbye to my father." ”

Gu Jinkang, who was getting up, saw Gu Mingzhu coming, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and he said in a low voice: "You get up." ”

"Thank you, father." Gu Mingzhu said softly, she lowered her eyes and scanned the mess in the place, which showed that the anger in Gu Jinkang's heart was not small.

"Zhu'er came to give tea to my father." Gu Mingzhu said softly, motioning for Qiao'er to bring a cup of tea.

At this moment, Gu Jinkang's face was warm and angry, he took a sip of tea and put it heavily on the table, "You also have a heart." ”

"Who provoked my father to anger?" Gu Mingzhu motioned for the slaves and maids in the hall to retreat, and asked in a low voice.

At this time, Gu Jinkang's face became solemn, and he didn't say a word.

Butler Li on the side had a sad face, and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady doesn't know, now that the border Huns have robbed the Gu family's freight, the master is angry." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu's eyebrows frowned, and with a worried look on her delicate cheeks, she said in surprise: "Now that the Huns are so rampant, can the yamen come to diagnose and treat?" ”

But the housekeeper shook his head and said embarrassedly: "The government has no way to take those Huns, and now the master's freight has been robbed, and the Gu family has lost a lot of gold and silver." ”

When he said this, Gu Jinkang snorted heavily, but he didn't have any way to do it with those cruel Huns.

"Steward Li, go down first."

After hearing so much, Gu Mingzhu also heard a reason, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Jinkang, and asked in a low voice, "Father, are you going to do this?" ”

"I can only snatch it back from the hands of those Huns." Gu Jinkang's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.

"Those Huns are bloodthirsty and brutal, and the government has nothing to do with them, father, why do you bother?"

Gu Mingzhu had a sad look on his face and persuaded in a low voice.

"That can't make those Huns so rampant, those goods can be at the bottom of the box." Gu Jinkang said angrily.

At this time, Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, and she said in a deep voice: "Now that the general is guarding the border pass, he can't come back for a while, and Zhu'er is trying to help her father get back to that gang of goods." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jinkang frowned tightly, and looked at Gu Mingzhu with complicated eyes, do you really have a way? ”

"Back to my father, Zhu'er will definitely figure out a way." Gu Mingzhu said solemnly word by word.

But in exchange for Gu Jinkang's questioning: "You are still guarding yourself in the house, don't provoke those Huns who kill people without blinking." ”

"......" Gu Mingzhu was silent.

"It's not too early, your mother should wake up, you go over and accompany your mother." Gu Jinkang said in a deep voice.

"Jewel, stand down." Gu Mingzhu saluted, turned around and retreated.

She stepped out of the hall with broken steps, a strange look flashed in her clear eyes, waiting, Qiao'er at the door saw that she was depressed, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine." Gu Mingzhu whispered, and she walked towards Li Yanpin's courtyard with broken steps.

When Gu Mingzhu went, Li Yanren had already finished freshening up, and was sitting on the chaise longue couch leisurely sipping tea.

"Jewel to see her mother." Gu Mingzhu saluted towards Li Yanpin.

Hearing this, Li Yanpin bowed his head slightly and said, "Hurry up." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Gu Mingzhu's delicate cheeks hooked up a bright smile, and said in a low voice.

"Zhu'er specially looks at the dew collected by Qiao'er, and the tea brewed for her mother, you can taste it." Gu Mingzhu happily instructed Qiao'er to step forward and serve the tea.

Hearing this, Li Yanping had a kind look on his face, and said with relief: "Zhu'er has a heart." ”

"Zhu'er honors her mother, that's how it should be." Gu Mingzhu said with a smile, looking at Li Yanpin with beautiful eyes.

This is Mama Liu hurriedly walked into the wing room, saluted Li Yan, and said, "Madame, it's not good, the lord is angry early in the morning for some reason." ”

"What?" Li Yanpin put down the teacup in his hand and asked in astonishment.

At this time, Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You can retreat first." ”

After Mama Liu retreated, Gu Mingzhu's delicate cheeks had a complicated expression, and she said in a low voice: "Mother doesn't know, my father's freight was robbed by the Huns. ”

"I said a long time ago not to let your father make a bet like this, but your father didn't listen, now it's okay, it's all snatched away by the Huns?" Li Yanpin said worriedly with a worried face.

"Mother must not be sad, with Zhu'er, I will not let my father's freight suffer the slightest loss." Gu Mingzhu's face was heavy.

Hearing this, Li Yanpin took Gu Mingzhu's hand and said comfortingly: "Zhu'er, don't talk nonsense, what can you do as a woman?" ”

"Mother, don't worry." Gu Mingzhu could only comfort Li Yanpin like this.

Seeing this, Li Yanpin could only sigh in a low voice and did not say anything.

"It's not too early, it's time for my mother to have breakfast." Gu Mingzhu commanded softly.

Hearing this, Qiao'er went down to prepare breakfast.

In the main court, Gu Mingzhu helped Li Yanpin to sit down for dinner, because Gu Jinkang was not in the mood to eat breakfast because of the freight.

Even Li Yanpin didn't eat much, and when the meal was average, Li Yanpin put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "I'm full." ”

Then let Xiaocui help her out.

Looking at Li Yanpin's worried look, Gu Mingzhu's eyes sank, she simply ate a few bites, and then ordered: "Qiao'er, you go and prepare the carriage." ”

"Miss, where are you going?" Qiao'er asked suspiciously, now the Huns at the border are making trouble, and the outside is not peaceful.

"You go get a carriage ready." Gu Mingzhu ordered in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qiao'er didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.

After a while, Gu Mingzhu walked out of the Gu Mansion with broken steps, and specially instructed the people, saying that she would go out of the house to buy things and come back in a while.

Sitting in the carriage, Qiao'er looked at Gu Mingzhu with a puzzled expression, and asked in surprise, "Miss, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Miss Ben is going to the Yamen Mansion." Gu Mingzhu's face was solemn, she didn't want to see Li Yanpin's sad and sad appearance.

"Miss Fei wants to help the master get back the freight?" Qiao'er had a stunned look on her face.

After all, those cruel Huns, even the imperial court suppressed them with all their might, what is the use of a small government?

"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu nodded seriously.
