Speaking of this, Guo Wan pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly: "Although my father and his old man don't remember me much, as a junior, I can't forget my father, because I often take this little pony with me, which can be regarded as a thought." Miss Chen San said that she had seen similar objects, and thought that my father had carved a new one for his noble daughter. ”

As if she remembered something, she hooked her lips and smiled, put Qingguo back on the plate, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said casually: "I haven't thought of it before, and I ask Miss Chen San to forgive me." My grandfather was Xingjibo, and my father was a horse attached to the court. ”

The cool voice fluttered in the spring breeze, like a slender ice line, probing into Chen Ying's heart.

She couldn't help but be amazed.

I must admit that she was shocked by these words.

And when she thought about it again, she felt relieved.

Guo Wan and Guo Yuan, how similar are these two names? That's in a lifetime.

Originally, in line with the principle of not inquiring about privacy, Chen Ying never asked Guo Wan's parents, and the servants of the Han family kept silent about it, which made Chen Ying think that it was a sad past.

Now, with this past in front of her, she finally understands what she has missed.

"So you are ......" only said these four words, Chen Ying suddenly felt a little unsustainable, so he stopped talking.

Guo Wan smiled and nodded casually: "Hey, I am the daughter of Ma Yuanpei, Xianci died of illness when I was two years old, and my father sent me back to my grandfather's house, since I was two years old, I have never set foot in the capital again." ”

Chen Ying looked at her in a daze, not knowing what to say.

The daughter of a lost wife was raised in her grandfather's house since she was a child, and her father and stepmother almost never asked......

No, it shouldn't be.

Chen Ying quickly rejected this judgment.

At that moment, another thing suddenly jumped into my mind.

She remembered that not long ago, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had been severely reprimanded by Emperor Yuanjia, and at that time, the rich businessman who was implicated in it was a native of Dengzhou.

Could it be that the rich businessman in Dengzhou is the Han family?

The more she thought about it, the more Chen Ying felt that this possibility was extremely probable.

Han Duanli is a businessman, but he dares to accompany Li Heng to pick out local corrupt officials, where did he get the courage?

The businessman is very profitable, and this trip is obviously extremely dangerous, if it is not for the last resort, with Han Duanli's shrewdness, how can he go to this troubled water?

Xingjibo Mansion and the eldest princess think that this is the reason for this "last resort".

The banished weak girl, in the eyes of the eldest princess, is likely to be an extremely disgusting and fearful existence, the so-called hatred of the house and Wu, the Han family is suppressed, it is inevitable.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess may not have done it on purpose." Guo Wan seemed to be able to read minds, so she directly pointed out what Chen Ying was thinking, and said lightly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's business is very large, and the eldest princess is a celestial figure, our Han family is just an ant-like existence, how can it be in the eyes of His Royal Highness?" With the dignity of His Royal Highness, how can he care about those trivial things? It must be the people under His Royal Highness who are making trouble in the name of the princess, is our Han family...... But it just happened to be unlucky. ”

And so it was.

And after coming to this conclusion, Chen Ying was a little terrified in her heart.

Is Guo Wan's reason for entering Beijing really as simple as she said?

"The Han family was too popular before, and the calculations between the businessmen were also very powerful, but they didn't want to implicate the eldest princess, and my grandfather actually felt very guilty all the time, and he always felt that innocent people were affected." Guo Wan smiled as if she was helpless, shook her head, and sighed lightly: "It's just, what does Your Majesty mean, which onion and garlic are we in our house?" My grandfather wanted to plead guilty, and he didn't have that much face, did he? ”

After saying this, she raised her hand and dusted her sleeves, and went to pick snacks again.

Chen Ying looked at her for a long time, and inexplicably felt a little bitter.

was originally a Bofu girl, with a noble status, but now she has become a merchant widow, and the gap in status is still secondary, and more importantly, the relatives who should be cared for the most have reformed a family and completely forgotten her.

Such Guo Wan is really distressing.

There was silence in the room, Guo Wan was concentrating on picking up the snacks that she couldn't pick out, and there was no emotion in her slightly drooping gaze.

Chen Ying sighed silently.

This kind of pain accumulated since childhood, when adulthood, will become a maggot attached to the bone, gnawing at the soul little by little.

Guo Wan's actions are actually far more meaningful than Chen Ying thought before. Sadly, Chen Ying couldn't think of a way to help her.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Chen Ying calmed down some of her emotions.

At this moment, it is far from the time of sadness, the case of the nameless female corpse finally showed a little eyebrow today, and she couldn't give up this opportunity.

After putting down the teacup, Chen Ying said: "Fourth Grandma Qiu, I have a matter, I need your help no matter what, and I ask you to agree." ”

Guo Wan didn't answer, as if she hadn't heard her words, and still looked down at the snack plate.

Chen Ying was not in a hurry, just sat quietly and gave her time to calm down.

After a while, Guo Wan recovered from her static state, raised her head, her eyes were indifferent, and she opened her lips and said, "Okay." ”

"Thank you." Chen Ying said, and got up: "I want to ask you to see something for me, can you please go home with me?" ”

After speaking, she remembered that this "home" might be misleading, so she explained: "I don't want you to go to the prefect's residence with me, just to visit my residence at the school." ”

"Be your own companion." Guo Wan got up with a smile and turned sideways slightly: "Please also ask Miss Chen San to go first." ”

Chen Ying thanked her, stepped out of the flower hall, and the two of them quietly passed through the corridor and passed the house, all the way to the small courtyard where Chen Ying lived.

This small courtyard is only two entrances, but the house is complete, three main rooms plus east and west compartments, of which the west chamber is Chen Ying's residence.

Chen Ying invited Guo Wan into the bright room of the West Chamber, this was Guo Wan's first visit, she was quite curious, her bright eyes couldn't help but look forward to it, looking at the situation in the courtyard through the window, and then nodded and smiled: "This courtyard is the same as Miss Chen San, clean and clean." ”

Chen Ying smiled and pointed to a paulownia tree in front of the window and said, "With it, there is cool shade in spring and summer, and residual leaves in autumn and winter, which is already very beautiful." ”

Guo Wan covered her lips and smiled, Chen Ying invited her to sit on the upper seat, and waved away a group of servants, before saying, "I'll go get something, please sit less." ”

Guo Wan smiled yes, Chen Ying went to the inner room, and soon took out a small box, opened the box and took out the small wood carving.

The moment she saw the small wood carving, Guo Wan's complexion suddenly changed slightly.

"Have you ever seen this little wood carving?" Chen Ying asked, her eyes fixed on her face for a moment.
