Chapter 18: Father and Daughter Love

"Father-in-law!" Raising her eyes to look at the comer, Su Zixi hurriedly got up from Bei Mingchen's arms, stepped forward, and said to Gu Shichong's blessed body: "My daughter has seen her father-in-law!" ”

I had already expected that Gu Shichong would come over, and he had a deep relationship with Su Zixi just now, and Bei Mingchen was just specially prepared to welcome Gu Shichong, but at this time, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Gu Xiang? ”

"It seems that the time to come is not right, disturbing the prince's leisure and elegance!" Bumping into such a scene, Gu Shichong was inevitably a little embarrassed.

"Where did Gu Xiang speak, but this king made Gu Xiang smile!" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Bei Mingchen said politely, "But since Xi'er is Gu Xiang's righteous daughter, speaking of which, we are all a family, so we don't have to see each other!" ”

"Gu Xiang rushed to this king's mansion early in the morning, but what's the urgency?" Looking at the appearance of Gu Shichong and Steward Qian, Bei Yingchen pretended to ask seriously.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that it's rare that there is no early dynasty today, and I want to come and see Xi'er!"

Secretly collecting money, Wu Zongyong did all the things that could not be seen, and even Wu Zongyong, a person who could not see the light, was a criminal who could not see the light.

The Wu Mansion was stolen, and Gu Shichong naturally couldn't bring it to the table, so he could only use the excuse of visiting Su Zixi to enter the Ruiling Mansion to investigate the situation.

"It turns out that Gu Xiang misses his daughter!" Bei Mingchen laughed a few times and said, "It's the king's negligence, you should let Xi'er take time out and go back to see Gu Xiang more!" ”

"The prince is too polite, how can the daughter who marries out always go back, but the prime minister is getting older, and he hopes more and more that his children can bear the joy!" After taking the words, Gu Shichong sighed lightly.

"Missing her daughter is human nature, why should Gu Xiang be so emotional, I want this king to see, Gu Xiang is still young!"

After comforting Gu Shichong, Bei Yingchen turned to the woman beside him again, "Xi'er, you can talk to Gu Xiang well, and this king will not disturb your father and daughter to catch up!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding at the man, Su Zixi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shichong's arm, "It's all because my daughter is not good, I can't accompany my father-in-law to take care of my father-in-law!" ”

"As long as you live well, you will be satisfied with your father!" Patting the back of the woman's hand, Gu Shichong said softly.

Father and daughter, you and I started a homely sentence, seeing this, Bei Mingchen consciously retreated.

Standing in the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, the man stared coldly at the old man and the young man who were walking and chatting in the courtyard.

"It's just a chess piece, it looks like a father and daughter!" Smiling coldly, Bei Mingchen said disdainfully.

Gu Shichong is greedy for profit, and he acts ruthlessly, for his character, Bei Yingchen knows a lot about it, a righteous girl who came out of nowhere will make him so concerned, this is simply a fantasy!

"Gu Shichong hurriedly came to the Ruiling Palace's mansion early in the morning, it seems that he has already suspected the prince's head!" Qin Yuning, who was standing behind the man, took over and analyzed.

"When the matter reached Gu Shichong's ears, the first thing he thought of should be this king, but he only doubted, but there was no evidence, no, is he now trying to find a way to find out the truth?" The eyebrows were raised lightly, and Bei Mingchen said with an evil face.

"Xi'er, did you stay with Bei Mingchen last night?" Sure enough, as soon as he got out of Bei Yingchen's sight, Gu Shichong couldn't wait to ask.

"Yesterday during the day, I went out with the prince, and I didn't come back until dark, he sent me back to Yunshui Pavilion and slept with me!" Su Zixi responded truthfully.

"Father-in-law, why did you suddenly ask this, but what happened?"

Su Zixi is Gu Shichong's eyeliner placed in Ruiling Palace, if there is anything abnormal, it is Su Zixi who takes the initiative to pass on the news, this is the first time that Gu Shichong can't wait to come to the door in person, Su Zixi knows that something must have happened.

"Wu Zongyong was killed last night, and all the gold, silver and jewelry stored in the secret room of the Wu Mansion were also stolen!"

"Wu Zongyong?" Although this person was just promoted by Gu Shichong, Su Zixi had also heard about it a little, "My father-in-law suspects that this matter was done by the prince?" ”

"But I don't think it's possible!" After thinking about it, Su Zixi shook his head and added: "The prince slept in my room last night, woke up early in the morning, and has always been by my side, so much money, you always have to find a place to store it when you steal it, if it is really done by the prince, Ruiling Wangfu should not have no wind at all!"

"Although Bei Mingchen is not very old, he is scheming, if someone is in harmony with him inside and out, it is not difficult to swallow the money of his true appearance quietly!"

"What does the Father-in-law mean...... The prince may have planted a fine work by your side? Hearing the meaning of the words, Su Zixi asked rhetorically.

With a glint in his eyes, Gu Shichong was noncommittal.

The pair of cold eyes not far away had been staring at the father and daughter closely, and the distance was very far, and Bei Mingchen couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but he didn't have to think about it, he also knew what they probably talked about.

"Gu Shichong is suspicious by nature, this time the Wu Mansion was stolen, he must have felt that the king of Jue had planted a fine work by his side, this time he returned to the house, he will definitely investigate strictly, but unfortunately, no matter how he investigates, he can only be busy in vain!"

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and Bei Mingchen recalled the conversation with Yuluo in the Baixiang Building that night......

"Do you know who the man I'm hosting tonight?"

"Gu Shichong's people?" Although they had never met before, listening to Yuluo's tone, Bei Mingchen guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight.

"Yes, his name is Wu Zongyong, he is Gu Shichong's protΓ©gΓ©, this Wu Zongyong, originally a local bully, was arrested and put into a cell for committing rape, Gu Shichong saw that he had some skills, so he used his connections to rescue him for his own use!" Yuluo told the truth what he knew.

"I was originally a death row prisoner, and I picked up a life, so naturally I have no scruples, but Gu Shichong is very good at picking people to use!" Bei Yingchen smiled coldly.

"This person has a fierce face, Gu Shichong asked him to manage the bazaar, collect taxes from the people in private, and take advantage of the interval between your weddings, Gu Shichong didn't stop for a moment, carrying you behind your back, and looting a lot of people's fat and ointment!"

"Although this king has a cooperative relationship with Gu Shichong on the surface, the oil and water that can be scavenged is limited, if this king is allowed to get it, the benefits he can get will naturally be less!"

In officialdom and business, there have always been only interests, no friends, this is very clear to Bei Mingchen, on the surface there is a harmonious atmosphere, but secretly they all have their own plans.

"But this time, Gu Shichong is afraid that his efforts will be in vain!" With an evil smile, Yuluo took out a golden box from his arms and handed it to Bei Mingchen.
