Fan Kun curled his lips and walked back with great satisfaction.

He firmly believed that Chi Zhang would see him when he saw it.

Little did he know that as soon as he left, the guard tore up the note.

The guard on the side snorted when he saw this: "You made a good promise not long ago, why did you turn around and break it?"

The man spat: "You and I have seen the expression on the master's face when he came back. Who dares to rush up and commit a crime without knowing whether his life or death is alive?"

As he spoke, he muttered to himself: "Besides, look at his outfit. He's covered in mud. How can he be the young master of the Marquis of Yong'an? Bah, that's awesome."

"That's right. The young master from a rich family always takes carriages to pick him up when he goes out. How can he be so virtuous? Besides, even the prince of the Hou family has nothing to do with our Chi family. I think he may be a crazy beggar who came from somewhere."

————

The carriage stopped at the teahouse in the inner courtyard of the Yi family.

It's Haishi (21:00 to 23:00, specifically 11:00 in the article), and the teahouse is very quiet.

It was closed early at this time.

After all, Ruan Zhen hadn't slept long before she was woken up by someone. She rubbed her eyes, feeling sleepy. Then she picked up her skirt and just stepped out of the carriage.

He was lifting his feet towards the footstool.

However, the man stretched out his long arms, hooked Ruan Zhen's waist without any explanation, and directly hugged her down.

Then he took back his hand and walked inside.

"Follow up."

Ruan Zhen was so tired that she didn't move. She just breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't you pull me away?"

Gu Huai paused and turned to look at her angrily. He was just about to say something sarcastic.

Then Ruan Zhen said innocently: "I can't walk anymore."

There was a stalemate for several seconds. Gu Huaizhi came back and pinched her wrist.

The two went to the highly secluded third floor.

On the third floor, people who usually hang around can't come in.

Ruan Zhen followed step by step, and then suddenly asked: "Would it interfere with your official duties if I follow you?"

Gu Huaizhi slowed down and made sure Ruan Zhen could keep up: "No."

He paused, fearing that Ruan Zhen would be timid, and said calmly: "Mu Jiu is here too."

Ruan Zhen opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly. Then she pursed her lips and smiled: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Today, in the palace, she didn't even say a word to Mu Jiu in front of others.

Before Gu Huaizhi could reply, he heard Mu Jiu's laughter and the contempt between the lines in the second room on the right.

"I said Mr. Yi, there are holes in your clothes. Why are you still reluctant to throw them away?"

Yi Lin was unhappy when he heard this.

"But they are all external things. Let me tell you, Mu Jiu, why are you so superficial? You only care about me and dig at them. Can't you think about how much money I spent for the Celestial Dynasty?"

Yi Lin didn't say that Prince Jing had paid for all the expenses for recruiting troops, weapons, and venues over the years.

That's no small expense.

A lot of money was spent, and if it were totaled, it would scare anyone to death.

Even if you give Emperor Hui of the Celestial Dynasty a penny of money, he will care about it very carefully.

However, Yi Lin didn't even blink when he sent it to Zhou Xu. He was even afraid that there wouldn't be enough there.

Money must be spent wisely.

Yi Lin could still tell the difference between what was light and what was serious.

Although he could tell the difference clearly, he should still pick it.

Yi Lin raised his chin.

"You know how to manipulate me all day long, why don't you see my simple and unpretentious nature through my washed white clothes? Mu Hansheng, take care of your sister."

Mu Hansheng:......

Mu Jiu:..."Can you say this?"

Yi Lin glanced at her angrily.

"That's how Miss Qi praised me. You said it's all a girl's family, why are you so ignorant?"

Mu Hansheng never said a word until now. Until Yi Lin talked about Qi Chuxin, he lowered his head and smiled maliciously.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open by someone from outside.

Mu Jiu raised her eyes and jumped up when she saw Ruan Zhen.

"Zhen Zhen!"

Ruan Zhen responded, and then kissed Mu Hansheng and Yi Lin who were sitting there.

Yi Lin immediately stood up: "Oh, don't do it. I can't afford the gift from Sister Ruan."

Mu Hansheng was not surprised by him, but he nodded and said gently: "Yes, in private, in a few days, I will have to call you Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Gu Huaizhi didn't think this was wrong, nor did he say anything to stop it.

He then pulled Ruan Zhen, who was pretending to be calm, to sit down.

Mu Jiu changed her position and stood next to Ruan Zhen.

Ask: "How are your injuries?"

"It's okay."

Mu Jiu nodded: "Have you read the book I gave you a few days ago?"

Ruan Zhen paused.

Gu Huaizhi squeezed the tea cup tightly, and then his eyes of unknown meaning fell on Ruan Zhen.

Ruan Zhen:...Can she say that Gu Huaizhi might have turned upside down again?

She whispered: "I've been a little busy these days."

Mu Jiu: "That's right. Seeing that your marriage is getting closer and closer, I blame me for not thinking carefully."

This topic really gives Ruan Zhen a headache.

However, Mu Jiu only talked vaguely about the book, treating the scholar Qiao Cungu as a little secret between herself and herself.

Afraid that Mu Jiu would ask again, Ruan Zhen had no choice but to turn around and ask Yi Lin.

"How is she doing in Chu Xin?"

"After settling down, I also met the people of the He family. Although they are a small family, they also value love and righteousness."

Yi Lin has been in contact with many people on weekdays, and he can judge people accurately. He said he was a nice person, and Ruan Zhen was relieved sincerely.

Yi Lin frowned in the next moment, with a subtle tone.

"But I don't think He Xianglan is a gentleman."

After sending the person there and strictly identifying his identity, He Xianglan secretly glanced at Qi Chuxin several times in a short period of time!

Then, he saluted him politely.

——Thank you very much, Mr. Yi. You have troubled me a lot about Miss Qi. Why don’t you rest in a humble house tonight after a long journey?

"That night, Mother He asked Miss Qi about her marriage. It seemed to me that she was deliberately setting up a match."

"He Xianglan, in just one night, he changed his name from Miss Qi to Sister Qi. He seemed like he hadn't seen a woman in eight hundred years, and he even went to the town to buy pastries, and gave it to Miss Qi with a red face and no trace of masculinity. I think my style is bad!"

I don't know why, but the more Yi Lin talked about it, the more unknown fire started to rise in his heart.

He melancholy took out two large golden hairpins from his arms.

The tone was inexplicably sad.

"Miss Qi, I don't want any of this anymore. Return it to me."

Ruan Zhen thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you are afraid that Mr. He will misunderstand?"

When Mu Jiu heard this, she probably understood a little bit, and immediately slapped the table.

"What's possible? Of course that's the truth. She's going to get along with Mr. He day and night. Why is she keeping your hairpin?"

Yi Lin pursed his lips, feeling uncomfortable for no reason. He shook his head.

I still remember Qi Chuxin seeing her off before she came back. Since she joined the He family, her heart has calmed down and the pear dimples at the corners of her mouth have not faded away.

She said that she would not be rewarded for her efforts, and she also said that if she had used this as travel expenses, she would not be able to find a good family.

Now that I have found it, I naturally can’t keep it shamelessly.

Qi Chuxin even gave the hairpin to him and said sincerely: "Master Yi, you are a good person. Chuxin has received your favor, and I hope you will think of me more. You can't be so kind and give away all your money for the sake of all people." .At least keep some for yourself.”
