Chapter 423: Playing with Other People's Feelings
Jian Junyi stepped aside and handed him off: "Your Highness go slowly, and the princess walks slowly." β
When he walked farther, Gu Xiyan pinched Zhou Dui's hand and said angrily: "Can Childe be more naΓ―ve?" Is it that as long as a man shows his face in front of me, Childe will be jealous? β
"Yes?" Of course, Zhou Du will not admit that he is cautious.
Fang Cai Jian Junyi not only showed her face in front of Xiyan, she also made no secret of her appreciation for Jian Junyi, which is a "favor" that Xu Yanqing has never had.
Gu Xiyan sneered, too lazy to argue with Zhou Gongzi, anyway, he would not admit that he was stingy.
When she walked farther, she looked back in the direction where Jian Junyi and Rong Yu were standing.
Zhou Du followed her line of sight, pulled down his face and asked, "Is it so good-looking?" β
Gu Xiyan retracted his gaze and sighed lightly: "I just feel that the world is elusive. Jian Gongzi is good enough, so that Rong Yu and Lu Shujing secretly agree to Jian Gongzi. However, Lord Lu and Rong Song are likely to be the culprits who caused Lord Jian to miss the position of prefect, is this a kind of retribution? β
Zhou Du felt that her logic was fine, and he thought that she thought Jian Junyi's face was good-looking.
"If you let Jian Junyi use the beauty trick and let Rong San hand over the Rong family's account books, do you think this thing will work?" Zhou Dui suddenly thought.
Gu Xiyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied categorically: "Rong Yu will never betray the Rong family for the sake of Jian Gongzi, this woman has inherited Rong Song's ruthlessness, and it is impossible for her to become the daughter of a sinner because of her children's personal feelings." β
Zhou Du slowed down when he heard this, "Why are you so sure?" β
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that she just knew. Rong Yu in his previous life fled before the Rong family's accident, leaving behind all the Rong family, including his own children.
In his previous life, Rong Yu failed to marry Jian Junyi and gave birth to a pair of children, and later even gave up his own biological children.
How can a woman who doesn't even care about family affection put herself in an unbearable situation for the sake of her children's private affairs?
"A woman's intuition! The first time I saw Rong Yu, I thought she was ruthless. Gu Xiyan casually found a reason to prevaricate.
Zhou Du glanced at Gu Xiyan deeply: "My husband thinks that Mrs. is not sincere." β
Gu Xiyan: ......
"Madame obviously listened to Mr. Yan, but said that it was her own intuition." Zhou Dui broke Gu Xiyan's lie with one word.
Gu Xiyan: ......
"Madame, is this treating her husband as an outsider?" Zhou Du sighed softly and continued walking.
Gu Xiyan knew that she was at a loss, so she followed closely beside Zhou Du and explained: "Husband, don't think nonsense. It's because I know that my husband doesn't like Mr. Yan, so I don't want to mention her in front of my husband from time to time. β
Zhou Duan didn't speak again, Gu Xiyan stepped forward and took his hand. At first, he was not happy, but after she took the initiative a few times, he finally "reluctantly" took her hand.
Gu Xiyan said in his heart that this person was still as coaxing as ever, but he was also as sharp as ever, and he lied in front of him again and again, making sure that he would not be exposed by him.
Otherwise, this kind of thing just now will only be repeated over and over again.
The two husbands and wives wandered around the city like this, and the things that Gu Xiyan looked at more were finally bought by Zhou Duan.
When the husband and wife returned to the inn, it was already an hour later.
Gu Xiyan was tired and fell on the bed to take a nap, while Zhou Du listened to Qi Youyuan's report.
There are significantly more people monitoring them today than yesterday, and there are three groups of people in the preliminary estimate.
"Three groups of people?" Zhou Du was interested when he heard this: "The Rong family, the Lu family, which other?" β
"At present, I don't know the identity of that group of people, and my subordinates are wondering if it will be His Royal Highness King Qin." Qi Youyuan replied respectfully.
Since coming to Suzhou, the King of Qin seems to have disappeared, and their people have no interest in following the King of Qin.
Zhou Du felt that this guess made sense: "There is this possibility. β
"The subordinates will continue to follow up, and His Royal Highness must also pay attention to safety." Qi Youyuan reported some other things before retiring.
After that, Zhou Du called Qi Zhiyuan to him and instructed: "You find an opportunity to deliver a message to Jian Junyi, I want to see him." Remember, you can't let people know that I have a private relationship with Jian Junyi. β
Qi Zhiyuan understood what Zhou Du meant, and set out to do this.
After Gu Xiyan fell asleep that night, a black figure left the post house like lightning and headed for the southern suburbs of Suzhou City.
Jian Junyi received a message from Qi Zhiyuan in the afternoon, and Zhou Du made an appointment to meet him in the southern suburbs.
Obviously, when he saw him at noon, Zhou Dui looked cold, but he suddenly took the initiative to invite him to meet on the outskirts of the city, so Zhou Du suddenly came to Suzhou, not for fun, but for another purpose?
He waited at the agreed place early, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was surging.
If the purpose of this trip to Suzhou is to investigate the five-year corruption case, can the culprit be found?
About the time he waited, the carriage in which Zhou Du was riding arrived.
Jian Junyi was about to step forward to salute, but Zhou Du waved his hand to stop: "No need to be polite." I came to you because I wanted to ask you something. β
"Your Highness, please." Jian Junyi replied respectfully.
Zhou Du asked directly: "Can Jian Tongzhi know some unknown secrets of the ink corruption case five years ago?" β
Jian Junyi's heart finally landed at this moment, and what he was waiting for was this answer: "As far as the grass people know, my father should know some things, but it's just the details, and my father needs to tell His Highness in detail." β
"Then you tell Jian Tongzhi that I want to meet him privately without alarming others." Zhou Du saw that the hour was not early, "When you go home later, pay attention to whether anyone is secretly following, and don't let people know about my private meeting with you." β
Jian Junyi should go down and send Zhou Du to the carriage.
Before getting into the carriage, Zhou Du suddenly asked, "If I say that the Rong family is suspicious, will you use the beauty trick on Rong San?" β
Jian Junyi didn't expect Zhou Du to suddenly say this, and his expression was a little indescribable.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Du raised his eyebrows lightly: "Don't you think the beauty trick might work?" β
Jian Junyi finally returned to normal, "The grass people think that there are many ways for a gentleman to do something and not to do something, and this kind of thing should not be advocated to play with other people's feelings." β
Zhou Du took a deep look at Jian Junyi, and his thin lips opened lightly: "It's a pity that you have this face." β
Jian Junyi's expression was even more indescribable.
This highness always speaks unexpectedly, which really does not match his immortal-like appearance.
Zhou Du rode back to the city in a carriage, and then returned to the post house with light skills.
He is very light, but in the end, he also has to use internal strength, and when he changes out of his night clothes, his breath is a little unstable.
It wasn't until he went to bed and approached Gu Xiyan, who was sleeping, that his breath gradually stabilized.
He sniffed deeply at the woman's scent and felt very relieved and satisfied.
