Under Zhou Dui's watch, Gu Xiyan hid in the clean room. After changing into that dress, she blushed and didn't dare to go out, but there was movement behind her. When she turned around, she met the fiery eyes of last week's twilight.

The next moment, he strode towards her and tore her clothes with his own hands......

An hour later, Gu Xiyan leaned weakly in Zhou Dui's arms.

She remembered that there was still something serious to tell Zhou Dui, but for a while, she didn't know how to tell Zhou Dui without a trace of the complicated situation in Suzhou.

"What did Madame want to say to her husband before?" Zhou Du hugged Xiyan with satisfaction, and liked this belated birthday gift very much.

After Gu Xiyan pondered it, he pushed Rong Song out: "Before the prince said that he was going to Suzhou to investigate the case, I heard Rong Song mention it before, and the Rong family seems to have dealings with some powerful people in the capital. I suddenly wondered, could the case five years ago be the handiwork of the Rong family? ”

Zhou Dui's expression was solemn: "Rong Songzhen said such things to you?" ”

Gu Xiyan said in her heart that Rong Song didn't say it, but she knew that it was true that the Rong family had a problem.

"Can I still joke about such a thing? If the Rong family really had dealings with the magnates in the capital, I don't know what kind of magnates made the Rong family's status among the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou unshakable for so many years. In addition, Wuxi has the most important grain market in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it happens that Wuxi is under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou government, and I am worried that Suzhou, Wuxi and the capital have formed a close relationship network, and there may even be collusion between officials and businessmen. If a certain powerful person in the capital is the backer of the Rong family, the son needs to be fully prepared to go to Suzhou, otherwise he will be a sheep in the mouth of the tiger. Gu Xiyan expressed his worries in one breath.

After hearing this, Zhou Du was thoughtful, and the meaning of his eyes when he looked at Gu Xiyan was unclear.

Gu Xiyan pushed him: "Why do you look at me like this?" ”

"How can my little wife be so smart?" Zhou Duan kissed Gu Xiyan the lips.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to say that she was smart, she just had the advantage of being reborn and knew some truths, so she just gave him a wake-up call.

"That's it, I'll go see Rong Song tomorrow and ask him some details carefully." Zhou Du made a decision.

Gu Xiyan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Don't!!" ”

Zhou Du looked sideways when he heard this: "What are you doing so nervous?" ”

This girl doesn't think he'll do anything to Rong Song, right?

"Doesn't the husband still want to assist in the government? Usually busy with his feet not touching the ground, to ask Rong Song about the details, let me say, so that it will not delay the husband's big event, what does the husband think? Gu Xiyan said, pressed Zhou Du under him, and took the initiative to peck him lightly on the lips: "Husband, let me help too, okay?" ”

Zhou Duan suspected that Gu Xiyan was using a beauty trick on himself, but he liked this kind of beauty trick very much.

"The stakes are very high, I still have to ask Rong Song in person." Zhou Du said that he was going to kiss back.

Gu Xiyan saw that the beauty plan didn't work, so she immediately pushed him away, and her pretty face was a little cold: "It seems that my husband thinks that I am useless as a woman, so he doesn't want me to help with this." ”

Seeing that she was angry, Zhou Du coaxed: "Xiyan, you think too much." You also know that our lives are at stake on this trip to Suzhou, and if I am alone, it will be fine, but because you are also accompanying me, I need to ensure your safety. ”

"So I want to ask Rong Song again, don't you still believe me?" Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Du with resentment, the beauty trick didn't work, so she simply used the bitter meat trick.

Zhou Du saw her pitiful little eyes, her heart softened, and she blurted out: "That's it, you go and help me ask." ”

The next moment, the woman pounced on him and kissed him on the left and right sides of the face, flattering him: "Husband is so good." ”

This girl has never taken the initiative with him before, and it seems that his decision is right.

"The husband suddenly noticed a problem. When there is a request for a husband, the lady is called the husband, and when there is nothing to do, the wife is called the husband and the son, is that so? Zhou Du looked directly at Gu Xiyan and asked.

Gu Xiyan kissed Zhou Dui passionately several times on the face: "Childe is so good-looking!" ”

Zhou Du laughed deeply, how could the wife he married be so interesting?

Soon after Zhou Du entered the palace the next day, Gu Xiyan washed up properly, and went out of the house after breakfast, intending to find Rong Song to confess.

After listening to Gu Xiyan's words, Rong Song couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Are you really a prophet?" ”

Even he, the Rong family who was expelled from the house, didn't know that the Rong family had colluded with the Zheng family, why did Xiyan know?

Gu Xiyan didn't know how to answer this question, and couldn't answer for a while.

Rong Song looked at her embarrassed look and understood: "Okay, I'll ask casually." If Your Highness really comes to me to ask about it, I will answer as you say. Soon it will be the ninth day of the new year, if that thing goes according to the original plan, are you sure it will be this time? ”

Gu Xiyan's expression was firm: "Let's just act according to the plan and eliminate this trouble." ”

Because the plan has not yet been implemented, I am afraid that there are still variables, and now we can only see one step at a time.

Gu Xiyan didn't stay long. Before leaving, Gu Xiyan also deliberately mentioned it to Su Mei and asked her to come to the flower viewing banquet on the sixth day of the new year.

"I'll come." Su Mei sent Gu Xiyan into the carriage.

In the afternoon of this day, after Gu Xiyan took a lunch break, he found Qiu Shi in the east wing and commanded in a low voice: "On the ninth day of the first month, you ordered someone to prepare the carriage in the morning, and I will go to see an important person that day." ”

There is a small pantry next to the east wing, Liu Huiyan is preparing water in the pantry, she heard Gu Xiyan's words at first, her eyebrows jumped slightly.

She hid herself quietly, her heart beating fast.

Qiu Shi glanced around, and when he saw that no one was there, he asked in a low voice, "Is the girl going to see Mr. Yan?" ”

"Beware that the walls have ears. You can prepare the carriage as soon as possible, I will go to Bafang Hutong first that day......" Gu Xiyan's voice became smaller and quieter as he spoke.

Liu Huiyan pricked up her ears and eavesdropped, but she didn't hear what Gu Xiyan said behind her.

But she was sure that the person Gu Xiyan was going to see might be Mr. Yan.

Although she didn't know who Mr. Yan was, the second sister said that whenever Gu Xiyan had any changes, she had to report to her.

It happened that on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhou Mansion held a flower-viewing banquet, and she could secretly deliver the news to the second sister.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, it was the day when Gu Xiyan held a flower-viewing banquet in Zhou's mansion, and many famous ladies in the capital received flower-viewing posts.

Originally, Gu Xiyan didn't want to invite the daughter of the Zheng family, but later she still felt that it was too obvious to do so, if Concubine Xian blew the pillow wind in front of Emperor Chengde, it would not be beautiful. It's better to treat everyone equally, take out her eldest princess's bearing, and hand over the flower post.

As for whether the daughter of the Zheng family and the in-laws of the Zheng family participated in the flower viewing banquet, it was not her problem.

On this day, Zhou Du also deliberately took leave from Emperor Chengde, invited some household colleagues, and invited some sons of the family to come to the house for tea.
