As soon as Qi Muyuan wanted to refuse, he was pulled by Ye Ying's sleeve.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ye Ying said first: "Just do what the old lady wants." ”

The old lady's expression softened at this time.

After coming out, Qi Muyuan frowned and said to Ye Ying, "You don't have to agree to her request like this. ”

Ye Ying smiled, "It's just a false name, it's okay to be able to loosen your mouth, she Qi Qiao'er has already gone, how can she know such a thing." ”

Qi Muyuan was silent, he always felt that this matter still wronged Ye Ying.

Sighing and gently rubbing Ye Ying's head, Qi Muyuan said, "Actually, you don't have to be so obedient." ”

Ye Ying bent her eyes slightly, and they were full of autumn waves, "What is this, it is not a grievance." ”

The two of them went back to Ye Ying's courtyard and didn't talk about it anymore.

After that, the old lady held Qi Qiaoer's funeral in a beautiful manner.

This even caused Mrs. Lin to ask about the situation, and externally, Ye Ying only said that she was sick.

As Qi Qiaoer's matter finally turned the page, other words began to spread in the capital.

Qi Muyuan had said before that Gu Lin was going to overturn the case, and now this case has finally come to the fore, and for a while, it shook the government and the opposition.

Gu Lin's brother's grandfather was not surnamed Gu, but Xiao.

Although they are not royal people, they enjoy royal surnames, which shows that they are extremely favored.

But this honor was finally cut off in the hands of their grandfather.

At that time, when the Gu family was the most high-spirited, many people did not like it, so they united and accused them of a major crime of collaborating with the enemy, which led to the destruction of the Gu family, but fortunately, the emperor was merciful and did not kill their whole family, leaving them with the line of Gu Lin, but they were also demoted to commoners, and their descendants were not allowed to enter the court again and were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Ye Ying didn't know what the specific things were, but judging from the various things she usually got along with the Gu family brothers and sisters, there seemed to be something else hidden in them.

This matter spread in Beijing for a few days, and Qi Muyuan officially took Gu Lin to complain.

Gu Xin also found Ye Ying at this time.

"Madam, can you accompany me to the Protector's Mansion?"

Ye Ying looked tired and worried when she looked at her, although she didn't know what the reason was, she didn't ask much, she just nodded, "Okay, you wait for me to change my clothes." ”

"Then I'll wait for Madame outside."

Gu Xin glanced at her gratefully and withdrew.

Ye Ying changed her clothes and took Gu Xin to the Protector's Mansion.

handed over the sticker, and soon someone inside came to receive him.

Ye Ying and Gu Xin arrived at the guest hall, and when they saw that it was Mrs. Lie who was waiting in person, they hurriedly saluted.

"You're welcome, sit down."

Old Madam Lie waved her hand lightly, glanced at Gu Xin with an uncertain expression, and then said slowly: "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Qi today?" ”

Ye Ying pulled her lips and smiled, and said, "It's not like I said I was coming today. ”

She looked at Gu Xin, and the latter took the opportunity to speak: "Old lady, is the prince in the house?" ”

"Miss Gu looking for Yu'er?" Old Madam Lie's brows furrowed slightly, "Can you tell me first, what is it for?" ”

"It's for ......" Gu Xin's gaze dodged slightly, "For the sake of last time." ”

Old Madam Lie's eyes deepened a little, and her eyebrows were faintly pressed down.

But before she could say anything, she saw a slender figure appear in the hall.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Lieyu's forehead, he was wearing a simple military uniform, and he was holding a sword in his hand, obviously coming in a hurry after hearing the news.

He walked in and saw Gu Xin, and his eyes were more obscure.

Putting the sword aside, he ignored the displeased look of the old lady Lie, and said directly: "Since Miss Gu is here for something related to me, then I am here, so it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Gu Xin glanced at Old Madam Lie and said lightly, "I don't care." ”

"That's good." Lieyu smiled and sat down on his own.

Old Madam Lie sighed slightly, and said half helplessly: "Then please Miss Gu tell me directly." ”

"Okay." Gu Xin nodded, and there was a touch of firmness in his expression, "The old lady promised me that she would promise me one thing because of this matter, but now you can still count?" ”

"Count."

"Then I don't know if the old lady has heard about the recent big case in Beijing?"

"You mean the Gu family's case?" Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and looked at Gu Xin carefully, "You are also the Gu family?" ”

"Yes." Gu Xin said bluntly, "I hope that the Protector Mansion can stand up and support me and my brother." ”

It is not easy to overturn such a big case, even if he has Qi Muyuan's support, but he is only one person after all, and Qi Muyuan has always had a good relationship with Gu Lin, and he can't convince the public at all, if the Protector Mansion is willing to stand up at this time, it is naturally the best.

The old lady did not answer for a moment, and seemed hesitant.

If this matter is not good, it will make the emperor furious, and there is no need for them to go to the Protectorate Mansion at all.

Old Madam Lie thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Gu Xin, "Couldn't Miss Gu change her condition?" ”

"I can't." Gu Xin quietly shook his hand and mustered up his courage, "I'm not interested in anything else, and I don't think the Protector Mansion can give me anything, only this is what I desperately want." ”

The old lady opened her mouth, and wanted to continue to persuade, but a hearty voice interjected:

"If our Protectorate is willing to stand up, are you willing to marry into our family?"

Everyone present was stunned and looked at Lieyu in unison.

"Yu'er!"

After the old lady reacted, she was furious, "What are you talking about, how can you be so rude in front of Miss Gu." ”

Lie Yu ignored Old Madam Lie's reaction, and only looked at Gu Xin fixedly.

Gu Xin's eyes also flashed with surprise, he didn't expect Lie Yu to say this.

She pursed her lips lightly and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Shizi, I don't want to, if you take this as a condition, then I haven't been here." ”

When she said this, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

I thought I could help my brother, but in the end, it was in vain.

There was a wounded look floating between Lieyu's eyebrows and eyes.

Old Madam Lie breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Lie Yu, and scolded angrily: "You go back to your room first and think about it behind closed doors, don't be embarrassed here." ”

Lieyu didn't move.

Old Madam Lie suddenly became even more annoyed, "Don't go yet!" ”

Lieyu slowly rolled her eyes, looked at the old lady Lie for a moment, still sighed silently, and answered "yes" in a low voice.

He got up and looked at Gu Xin, his eyes were also full of complexity.

Gu Xin's back was straight, and he didn't give him any response.
