After guessing about half a stick of incense, Ruan Zhen and the others set off to go down the mountain.

Gu Huaizhi's reaction made her feel relaxed. Ruan Zhen thought for a while, but she didn't want to throw away the exquisite colored glass lamp, so she simply took it back.

Xu held Fan Kun's arm and talked affectionately: "My father also has some reputation in the court, and he has good relations with the Chi family. It is difficult for the prince to come forward in this matter. Don't worry, we will find a suitable opportunity to let him in

I beg for your father-in-law’s favor in front of the Emperor.”

Talking about Fan Cheng, who was almost dismissed from his job and whose vitality was severely damaged, Fan Kun was also very anxious. When Xu mentioned this, he immediately laughed and said, "I'd like to thank my father-in-law for taking more care."

A grasshopper on a rope, if the Hou Mansion is not good, it will not be beneficial to the Xu family. Even if the Xu family does not mention it, the Xu family will find a way to turn things around.

"We are all one family."

Ruan Zhen had no interest in hearing about the affairs of the DPRK.

As she walked, she looked at the lamp in her hand, and couldn't help but touch the back of her head where there was no wound. She was worried, but she didn't want to see Tan Yun and Mama Ge who were supposed to leave as soon as she got off the mountain.

Ruan Zhen hesitated.

The hand holding the lamp subconsciously tightened.

"General Mu is back in Lin'an. There will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow. Madam, you don't need to wait for me to come back for dinner."

Mrs. Xu enjoyed Fan Kun's thoughtfulness.

"good."

Ruan Zhen:!!!

I was stimulated.

One wave comes after another.

Thinking of what would happen if General Mu returned home, Ruan Zhen stumbled on his feet and swayed.

Mother Wang, who was closest to her, quickly supported her, fearing that she would break: "Cousin, are you in serious trouble?"

Mother Ge:???

Tan Yun:???

Is this Mrs. Wang, who is always difficult to deal with, crazy?

If I remember correctly, she was the one who mocked the girl last time.

Ruan Zhen waved her hand, calmly took back her gaffe, and then let Mother Ge help her get into the carriage.

As soon as she sat down, she was anxious and annoyed, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you read the letter I gave you? I didn't come to you, which means I can't get away for the time being. You should go on your own. Why are you back?"

Tan Yun sniffed, still holding the cold and shivering rabbit in his hand: "Look, if the girl doesn't come, how can we leave?"

As he spoke, his eyes became red.

Tan Yun complained: "The money, the contract of betrayal, the escape route, the girl has arranged everything for us."

Mother Ge's face was soft, and after respectfully taking out the tablet, she reached out and smoothed the broken hair on Ruan Zhen's forehead:

"How can anyone be so cruel? If you are cruel enough to let us go, how can you be cruel enough to let your wife and young master go?"

Ruan Zhen's eyes were shining with tears, and the fear of Fanshan Temple that night was magnified and magnified at this moment.

She held Ruan Xi's memorial tablet, suppressed her voice, and sobbed in a low voice.

"But I can't help it, I really can't help it."

Mother Ge held her in her arms and patted her back gently.

"I know this. The girl wants Tan Yun and I to leave with Madam's memorial tablet, but if I really leave with Tan Yun, who will take care of the girl?"

Ruan Zhen let her tears roll down. Her voice was already hoarse, but when she cried like this, her nasal sound became even more severe.

"Fan Kun is more despicable and shameless than you think."

Mother Ge wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"There is always a chance. Girl, don't cry."

The rabbit jumped out of Tan Yun's arms, Ruan Zhen stepped down and lay on her shoes.

Mother Ge: “I wanted to release the animal, but it wouldn’t go away.”

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes: "Then take it with you. With this silly look, it won't last long in the cold weather."

"By the way, what's going on with Mother Wang?"

Ruan Zhen hugged the tablet tightly.

"She has done something wrong and is afraid that ghosts will knock on her door at night."

When Ruan Zhen arrived at the Marquis Mansion, as soon as she got off the carriage, she heard Mrs. Xu's caring demeanor.

"My cousin is frightened, so go back and rest. There is no need to send greetings to my grandmother. Mother Wang, please send her off."

Ruan Zhen was too lazy to make excuses with them, so she felt blessed and returned to her yard with the rabbit in her arms.

She wasn't worried about what Ah Wu would say in front of Fan Kun.

Mother Wang was very honest all the way. Seeing that Ruan Zhen was silent, she tried to please Tan Yun and tried to talk to her.

"Miss Tanyun."

"Don't, it makes me panic."

Mother Wang:......

She smiled and said: "My son will get married soon. If you and Mother Ge are free, come and have a wedding drink."

Tan Yun refused: "If you don't go, do you really think I'm stupid because you want to take my money?"

"No need to share money, this is not just a big deal."

Tan Yun was wary: "We've already said we won't go. How can you, an old woman like you, have such a good heart? How can you think of plotting against us?"

Mother Wang:...I'm fucking trying to please you, it's so obvious. Can't you see it!!!

Ruan Zhen couldn't help but curved her lips after hearing Tan Yun's unsatisfactory answer.

Halfway up the mountainside of Fanshan Temple, Gu Huaizhi was leaning on a stone, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

There were several large fish in the bucket. Sheng Qinan sat cross-legged with his hands clasped together. He recited a death curse for the soul of Xiao Hui in advance.

Gu Huaizhi was read so hard that he fell asleep.

He raised his eyelids.

"Mu Youde will return to Lin'an tomorrow."

Sheng Qinan's voice paused as he chanted sutras.

Gu Huaizhi said slowly: "Your aunt usually seems to have good ideas, but when something happens, she panics. Now your uncle is sent out to serve as a supervisor, and it is estimated that it will be a year later."

Only then can I come back. The Gu Sheng family has very few heirs. If something happens to me, I can only rely on you to stabilize the situation and appease the elders."

Gu Huaizhi had never told him this before.

A few days ago, I talked to him about Prince Jing, not shying away from letting him know that the singer who was favored by the prince in the palace was one of his own.

Sheng Qinan had a vague feeling of badness.

He was somewhat conflicted: "Brother, why are you telling me this?"

A glint flashed in Gu Huaizhi's eyes.

The light passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving mottled light and shadow on his side face.

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace for a banquet. Please invite your aunt to stay at the Duke's Mansion."

"But something will happen in the palace?" Sheng Qinan looked serious at the moment.

Gu Huaizhi didn't say whether it was true or not, his eyes were calm and he couldn't see any disturbance.

Some people are gaining momentum and their arrogance must be extinguished. If they are to be extinguished, they must be extinguished completely.

"Sheng Qinan." His eyes flickered.

"exist."

"From tomorrow onwards, all invitations to visit will not be accepted. The door will be closed tightly and no outsiders will be seen."

Sheng Qinan's heart skipped a beat when he heard what he said.

"Brother, stop talking. It's like leaving a will."

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him sideways.

not talking anymore.

He didn't speak, and Sheng Qinan started to feel itchy again.

Move over slowly.

"How about you tell me what will happen in the palace? I have some preparations, right?"

He raised his chin high.

"Excited! You, Gu Huaizhi, will also beg me one day!"

Gu Huaizhi stopped looking at him in disgust.

I'm excited now, just don't cry tomorrow.

On the calm lake, the fishing rod pulled down slightly.

He moved his fingertips.
