Hearing such bastard words, although Gu Jue didn't know the reason for the matter, he actually understood a little, and when he was furious and wanted to get out of the carriage, Yu Zhiyan suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Forget it." Yu Zheyan's eyes were full of remorse, if she hadn't bumped into her today, she mistakenly thought that she had met a thief, and she would not have caused so much right and wrong.

The little guys knew the sedan chair of the Chengguo Mansion, and when they saw him say such a terrible thing, they were so frightened that they immediately lost their souls, and they picked up the strip of cloth and wanted to plug his mouth.

However, before he could plug it up, the man scolded again, "The surname Yun, don't think that if you have a lady in your family, you are older than the king of heaven, who doesn't know what kind of character she is, she is just a woman who can be a husband, and she was still in the teaching workshop at the beginning——"

His mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and the little guys, afraid that he would shout again, stuffed a few more handfuls of soil into his mouth, and suddenly he whined, and could not scold a word again.

It's just that his words just now poked at Yu Zhiyan's heart, and all these were imprints that she couldn't get rid of. She is frank-hearted and never pays attention to those rumors, but today she still feels harsh when she hears people scolding her in front of her.

Gu Jue listened to such words, shook off Yu Zhiyan's hand, and said angrily: "What are you doing with this beast now, wait for me to go down and kill him." ”

However, before Gu Jue went down, the little guy in the mansion hurriedly ran over, sweating profusely with fright, "The general and his wife forgive me, this person was originally going to be dragged outside the city to be quietly disposed of, although the general can rest assured, he will definitely be better off dead than alive in a while." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan's face couldn't help but change, she obviously heard her cousin say that she wanted to let this man go, but she used such a means behind her back.

Yun Peichang is a pure and gentle reader, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless. She couldn't help but feel like her cousin had changed into a different person.

Hearing this, Gu Jue sneered and sat back beside Yu Zhiyan, since that evil seed would die in a while, why bother him to do it himself?

Yu Zhiyan couldn't bear it, and just wanted to say something, but Gu Jue noticed it, and said with some displeasure: "This bastard scolds you like this, do you still have to forgive him, it is more and more unlike your temperament." ”

While speaking, Gu Jue said to the little man carrying the sedan chair: "Don't leave quickly, what are you doing here." Could it be that he didn't scold enough, so he stayed here and waited to hear it. ”

Yu Zhiyan could only sit in the sedan chair and go away, and faintly saw the little servants throw the man into the carriage and go straight out of the city.

Gu Jue tore down the sedan curtain all of a sudden, not wanting her to continue to look at it. It's just two streets away, and you soon reach the gate of the Chengguo Mansion.

When the two of them returned to the mansion, it was already time, and Bao Xiao'er saw the two of them coming back together, and said with a smile: "The slave said that the young master and the lady are enemies, and when they are good, they only want to stick together, and if they are annoyed, they only want to quarrel upside down." I can't see it and think about it, and I see it and I am annoyed. ”

When Yu Zhiyan heard her say this, although it was a joke, it was also reasonable, and she couldn't help blushing.

Seeing her like this, Dong Lang hurriedly protected her behind him, and said to Bao Xiao'er: "You little hoof, you actually made fun of the master, I will call the housekeeper here, only send it out for you, and allow others to go." ”

Bao Xiao'er laughed hurriedly, but there was bitterness in her eyes, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Yu Zhiyan, who was hiding behind Gu Jue, was sensitive to every expression on her face, thinking that Bao Xiao'er had served Gu Jue since she was a child, and the Duchess of Chengguo also regarded her as a person in Gu Jue's room.

Now Gu Jue has no intention of taking a concubine at all, wouldn't this delay her life in vain.

Yu Zhenyan was worried about her stomach, and only waited for the maids to serve her to bathe and change her clothes, and then walked to the house, but saw Gu Jue lying on the soft couch, as if she had fallen asleep.

He had already changed into his bedclothes, and Nishiki's ayara was clinging to his body, and it seemed a little cold.

The green silk full of smoke had not yet dried, and he didn't care if it was still dripping with water, so he walked over slowly and covered him with the brocade quilt on the couch.

Before she could cover it, Gu Jue opened her eyes, and her slender eyes were full of narrowness. I think he didn't fall asleep at all, he just deliberately amused her.

Yu Zhiyan was a little annoyed when he saw that he was being played like this, and before he could get angry, he was suddenly pulled to the bed by him, and then his body was covered.

Yu Zhiyan's wet hair was pressed behind him, and it was very uncomfortable.

Dong Lang took out something from her arms and put it on her wrist, she looked down and saw that it was a bracelet made of agarwood.

"This thing was made a few days ago, but it was never given to you. I have sent someone to the temple to open the light, and I will be able to bless you with peace. His warm palm wrapped over the back of her hand, clutching her tightly.

This Canaan agarwood can only be used by the royal family and nobles, I don't know where Gu Jue came from, but thinking about the countless treasures in the house, this is nothing.

When he saw that she liked it, he was also happy, so he turned over and poured it into the brocade couch.

Yu Zhiyan only looked at it for a while, and just wanted to ask him how he came, but he saw that Dong Lang beside him was breathing heavily, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. His hand was still tightly wrapped around her waist, and he was reluctant to let go even when he fell asleep.

Yu Zhiyan thought he was deceiving her, so she pushed his shoulder, shouted his name a few more times, and saw that there was no sound, but he really fell asleep.

But I saw that there was still a smile on his thin lips, and the wrinkle between his eyebrows stretched slightly.

Her hair was wet and uncomfortable, but she gradually fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, she woke up at noon as soon as she fell asleep, but saw that there was no one around her, and she didn't know when he left. She called the maids up to serve her to freshen up, but saw Bao Xiao'er coming in in a hurry.

"Madam, you can wake up, that young lady Yun is here, and for fear of disturbing you, she has been waiting in the side room."

As soon as she heard that it was her, Yu Zhiyan was also stunned, so she had to ask the maids to dress up for her as soon as possible, and then called Wen Jingxian in.

Yesterday, Yu Zhiyan just glanced at it in a hurry, and today after a closer look, she feels more and more beautiful, with the gentleness of this Jiangnan woman, and her bearing is a little like her sister Yu Zheshuang.

Although Yu Zhiyan's generation is younger than her, she is a court wife after all, so she naturally wants to ask her for peace.

Before she finished asking, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly helped her up, and said busily: "I haven't asked in detail, but I don't know how old my cousin is?" ”

Wen Jingxian smiled slightly: "I have asked my mother, you are two years older than me. ”

Seeing her so gentle and decent, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but like it, only pulled her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Only my cousin-in-law can be worthy of such a good name and surname, and she is really as good as her name." ”

Wen Jingxian also smiled, and only said: "I have always heard that this Chengguo Mansion is extremely beautiful, and I just want to see it today." ”

Yu Zhiyan also originally wanted to tell her some heart-to-heart words, but it was always inconvenient to say in the house, so he took her to walk around the house.

Yu Zhiyan didn't let anyone accompany her, only brought Bao Xiao'er a girl, and Wen Jingxian's personal maid Fang'er also followed, and the four of them only walked around in the mansion.

Wen Jingxian's favorite thing is the birds in the golden cage on the corridor, and her watery eyes gradually showed excitement.

When he was about to walk to an octagonal pavilion, Yu Zhiyan said with a smile: "Whichever one my cousin likes, just take it, anyway, no one will enjoy these things if they are left in the house." ”

Wen Jingxian shook her head slowly, "These birds are extremely precious, hard-to-find things, I really don't dare to keep them." ”

"It's okay, you and your cousin's newlywed wedding was supposed to give some things, those jewels are really cheesy, if you like these birds, let them all be sent to your cousin's mansion later."

Wen Jingxian didn't say anything yet, but she heard Fang'er behind her shout, "Miss, why is there one hairpin missing on your head." ”

Only then did she touch her hair bun, and then a worried look appeared on her face, "Why did you lose the one sent by Xianggong." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly comforted: "Although the Chengguo Mansion is big, just ask people to follow the road to find it." ”

Seeing this, Bao Xiao'er hurriedly said: "The slave and maid will go back to look for it, there are many people in the house, so don't be picked up." ”

Yu Zhiyan was about to ask her to find it, but Wen Jingxian chuckled and said, "It's better to let Fang'er find it, I'm afraid that the girl doesn't know the hairpin." ”

There were a few hairpins on her bun, but they were just something outside her body, she and Bao Xiao'er naturally didn't see what it was, and saw that the girl named Fang'er next to her was very clever, so she asked the girl to look for it.

In a blink of an eye, the girl disappeared without a trace, and Yu Zhiyan took her eyes back, and only said: "Let's go to the pavilion to rest for a while, and wait for the girl to come back and report the news." ”

The three of them walked to the pavilion at this time, and Bao Xiao'er had already prepared two soft cushions, only on the stone bench, and let the two people sit down.

Yu Zhiyan glanced at Bao Xiao'er and pointed to the white plum in the distance, "Look at those flowers that are blooming very well, you go over and pick some good ones." ”

Bao Xiao'er took the order, and only the two of them were left in the pavilion.

"Yesterday, that man—" After all, it was an unspeakable thing, Yu Zhiyan hesitated for a long time, but still asked.

Wen Jingxian interrupted her words suddenly, and there was no trace of turbulence in her voice, "I had a marriage contract with him, but the Queen Mother gave me a marriage, and this family affair was withdrawn." On the day I got married, he just came to say goodbye to me, saying that he was going to Chaozhou to do business and would not return to Beijing again. ”

Yu Zhiyan didn't expect things to turn out like this, but Wen Jingxian didn't know that the man had already died in her cave room.

"Then do you still have a relationship with him?" Yu Zhiyan asked with difficulty.

Wen Jingxian said softly: "I am a woman, so I naturally want to be virtuous, and besides, my husband treats me deeply, how can I have any other thoughts." ”

Yu Zhenyan's lips opened slightly, and she was about to say something, but she saw her maid Fang'er running over in a hurry, sweating profusely even though it was winter.

Wen Jingxian slowly stood up, turned her head and asked, "I saw that you came back now, but I found it." ”

Fang'er hurriedly took out the green hairpin from her cuffs, and then handed it over respectfully, "Miss Hui's words, I found it on the willow branch next to the covered bridge, and I guess it was hung on it when you were just looking at the koi." ”

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly took it over and slowly made the hairpin for her, "I see that your hairpins are very elegant, and now my cousin-in-law is Mrs. Yushi, and she is a newlywed lady, how can she be so plain." ”

Wen Jingxian only nodded yes, and then accompanied Yu Zhiyan around the mansion before saying goodbye and leaving.

Because Yu Zhiyan felt guilty, he only rewarded a box full of gold, silver and jewelry, and picked up the precious birds, selected a dozen of them, and loaded them all on the carriage.

She heard that her uncle and aunt were leaving the capital tonight, and it was inconvenient for her to send them, so she took countless ginseng and deer antler velvet and various supplements from the house.

When Wen Jingxian left, she had already loaded three carriages.

After Wen Jingxian left, it was already dark, and she originally wanted to keep her for dinner, but she thought about the newlywed Yan'er, so it was naturally difficult to keep her.

Hearing that Gu Jue went to the official's mansion to discuss major affairs in the court, Yu Zhiyan only had dinner by himself. Because I walked for a long time, my body was tired, so I fell asleep in a daze.

She didn't sleep well, and only remembered when Gu Jue would come back.

In a daze, she seemed to hear footsteps, and was about to open her eyes, but she heard the constant sound of weapons rubbing against bricks outside, and the frightened cries of the maids outside the room.

Yu Zhiyan woke up suddenly as if he had been poured cold water on his head, and when he sat up from the bed, he saw Bao Xiao'er, who was sitting on the chair with embroidered shoe uppers, also stood up.

The two men only glanced at each other in astonishment, and before they could say anything, the door was pushed open.

I saw two guards in armor come in with swords, and their faces were like frost.

Bao Xiao'er didn't know what was going on, so she only ran over and blocked Yu Zhiyan's side at once, and said hurriedly: "Presumptuous, who are you, even the general's wife's room dare to trespass." ”

Who knew that the two guards grabbed Bao Xiao'er as soon as they stretched out their hands, and then the other guard hugged his fists and said: "Where the accusation is, please ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

Yu Zhiyan was a little stunned for a while, and could only watch Bao Xiao'er be arrested.

However, before she could recover from the shock, she saw a few guards in Jinlai, and began to climb over the walls and cabinets in the house, large and small cabinets were turned over, and even the porcelain bottles and jade had to be carefully examined.

Because it was too messy, I saw that the porcelain vases were broken and the silk in the cabinet was also thrown everywhere.

Yu Zhiyan saw that they ignored him, and walked out of the house without even wearing a robe, just to see what was going on.

However, it was obviously not much better outside, and there were still guards looking for something, even the bluestone flower pot was cut and broken, searching for the contents inside.

Except for himself, Yu Zhiyan can no longer find the servants in the house. In the noisy rummaging sound, she vaguely seemed to hear a whining cry in the direction of Gu Jue's study.

She hurriedly ran there, turned the corridor and pavilion, but saw more than a thousand servants kneeling in the open space of the study, all of them were from the Chengguo Mansion, whether they were noble or lowly, all of them were here.

They were surrounded by the guards, and they all looked terrified, because they didn't know what was going on, and they only talked quietly in private.

Yu Zhiyan saw that the lights in the study were bright, and Gu Jue's angry shouts kept coming.

She only ran up the stairs to her study, and the guards knew her identity, so they didn't stop her, but let her into the study.

Yu Zhiyan stepped up to the threshold, but saw Gu Jue sitting at the desk, and there was a basket-sized silver box in front of him, which was opened, and the golden lock on it was broken.

He supported his head with his hands, far away, and Yu Zhiyan could see the green tendons on his head constantly beating.

Hearing the footsteps, he didn't raise his head, just grabbed a cup and threw it in her direction, "Did you find it?" ”

Fortunately, the teacup only fell at her feet and did not hurt her at all, and she said with palpitations: "Donglang, what happened?" ”

Hearing that it was her voice, Gu Jue raised his head in a panic, and saw that the teacup he threw out just now had not hurt him, so Gu Jue relieved his heart.

Dong Lang walked to her side and took off his cloak to put it on for her, "I told them not to bother you, but I didn't expect those beasts to be so incapable of doing things." ”

She came out in such a hurry that she didn't even wear a robe, and her face had already turned pale from cold or fright.

Yu Zhiyan grabbed his arm and asked a little nervously, "Why did you pick up your own house in a good manner, and why were those people outside arrested?" ”

Seeing that her face turned pale with fright, Gu Jue hurriedly reached out to hold her delicate hand, originally wanting to warm her hands, but he didn't expect him to be colder than hers.

"All the defense maps in the secret box in the study are missing." Gu Jue's voice was cold, "I didn't expect that there were thieves in the Chengguo Mansion." ”

This arming map was originally going to be handed over to the Ministry of War for safekeeping, and Gu Jue was in great power, so he naturally asked for the defense map.

Yu Zhiyan knew that it was no wonder that the mansion was in such a mess, and the loss of the defense map was a big crime for the nine clans, if it was obtained by foreigners, all the defenses in the city would be like a fictitious situation, and it could be directly hit in the capital.

If it is taken away by people with bad intentions, it will also be a great disaster to raise an army to rebel.

It turned out that after Gu Jue returned home, he heard that Yu Zhiyan had fallen asleep, so he didn't go to see her, so he went to the study to deal with official business.

He immediately transferred 3,000 forbidden troops from the barracks into the palace, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he had to find out the things.

"How so?" Yu Zhiyan's eyes widened in astonishment, who could steal things from the Chengguo Mansion where there were many people, and know where Gu Jue hid the secret box.

"You go back to rest first, I will take care of all the big things, you don't have to be afraid." He took her shoulders and looked down at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yu Zhiyan's nose was slightly sour, and he shook his head slightly, "I'm only here to accompany you, and I'm not going anywhere." ”

Gu Jue knew her temperament, and no one could persuade her to do what she believed, so she only took her hand and slowly walked to the desk, and then slowly sat down on the chair.

The chair was so wide that it could fit both of them.

However, before the two of them could sit down, a guard hurried to the study and knelt on one knee, "General, I have searched the mansion all over the house, but I haven't found it." ”

"Waste." Gu Jue swept all the things on the table to the ground at once, and then said angrily: "Go and interrogate those people, if you ask them well, you will naturally not ask anything, you can only use torture." ”

When Yu Zhiyan heard this, she was a little flustered for a while, she turned her head to Gu Jue and said, "Bao Xiao'er was also arrested by them just now. ”

Gu Jue was silent for a long time, and said to the guard: "You are not allowed to torture Bao Xiao'er." ”

The guard took the order, but in a moment there were screams from outside the study, like the screams of terrible demons.

Yu Zhiyan sat beside him, close to him, but he clearly felt his pain at this time.

He can kill the people of Huaiyin without mercy, and aim the sharpest knife at the chest of the Huns, but he may not be able to do anything to the people in these mansions.

Most of these domestic slaves are old servants in the Chengguo Mansion, or have followed his father to the battlefield, or have stayed in the mansion since childhood, and they are all his relatives.

In fact, his pain was far greater than hers.

She only felt a chill on her shoulder, and he leaned his head on her shoulder a little dejectedly, and the terrible wail from outside kept cutting his heart like a sharp blade.

Yu Zhiyan tore a piece of paper casually, then slowly gathered it into a ball and put it in Gu Jue's ears, "Donglang, I won't be able to hear it soon." ”

After some time, the guard went and returned, and slowly handed a thick stack of papers to the table, "This is all the clues they know. ”

Gu Jue only flipped through it casually, and then quietly took out the paper stuffed in his ear, and said angrily: "Clues? Do you want General Ben to personally check it one by one? ”

The guard quietly glanced at Yu Zhiyan, and then said, "The most suspicious thing for my subordinates is the wife of Lord Yushi, and a few servants have seen her maidservants come to the study. ”

Only then did Yu Zhiyan remember that the maid named Fang'er had indeed gone back to find the hairpin by herself, could it be that she had stolen the drawings.

But she is just a woman, and this is the first time she has come to the Chengguo Mansion, which is a little impossible to think about. But she is also the most suspicious, after all, only two outsiders entered the mansion today.

Gu Jue didn't make a decision in a hurry, just looked at Yu Zhiyan slowly, as if waiting for her to speak, Yun Peichang was his cousin after all, if he was involved in this matter, it would be difficult to get out.

She also stared at Gu Jue, only to see that his eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and she was deeply trapped.

"I'll go with you to my cousin's mansion." After a long time, Yu Zhiyan made this decision with difficulty.
