After Ruan Zhen paid the money, she felt so happy. She could finally understand Sheng Wan's happiness in spending a lot of money.

"Send this one to the palace. Ah Chu loves pearls, so she will definitely like this set of pearls."

"This one will be sent to the Liu Mansion. Weiran gave me a lot of things last time, so I will take them as a return gift today."

"These are the dowry for Chu Xin."

Ruan Zhen said slowly, looking at the exquisite dagger on the table, Mu Jiu... no, it's Zhou Ci now. Let her keep it first.

"You are very calculating." A sudden voice passed through his ears, quickly dragging Ruan Zhen from his thoughts back to reality.

Ruan Zhen suddenly raised her head and looked at the man, slightly surprised: "Why is your husband here?"

Gu Huaizhi had a tall figure, standing as straight as a pine. He was wearing a white robe with delicate dark patterns on the collar. He had obviously changed into it after returning home from the imperial court. He took a deep look at Ruan Zhen and did not answer the question:

"Why didn't you choose for yourself?"

A pair of small and exquisite bracelets hung on Ruan Zhen's fingertips. They were obviously worn by newborn children.

"Bought."

Gu Huaizhi didn't ask any more questions, but simply asked: "Let's go then?"

Ruan Zhen stood up and walked towards him: "Going back home?"

The man paused and responded: "Forget it."

What is this reply?

Ruan Zhen frowned, but her eyes fell on Chang Feng behind Gu Huaizhi. She couldn't help but think of An Qi, and her frown deepened.

Changfeng felt an inexplicable thump in his heart.

Seeing the young lady looking fixedly at Changfeng, Gu Huaizhi narrowed his eyes dangerously and let out a light mockery.

The long wind shivered.

"Prince Princess, what's wrong with being so young?"

The man beside him had an unclear meaning: "Or is it because he has good skin that caught your eye?"

Gu Huaizhi seemed to be thinking about something. He curled his lips, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. He said casually: "How about skinning people to make lanterns?"

Changfeng:???

This is too much!

Ruan Zhen:???

"No."

Gu Huaizhi said half-jokingly in a light tone: "That's right, you shouldn't see blood."

An Qi suddenly became energetic.

"master!"

"The Crown Princess doesn't want it, can I do it?"

Chang Fengqi went crazy: ???"You are so vicious!"

Chang Su's eyes wandered between Chang Feng and An Qi. He thought simply, and even breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, An Qi didn't succeed, otherwise Chang Feng would have a wife.

After all, good brothers should be neat and tidy.

For a moment, the private room was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Ruan Zhen poked her head and stared with her dark almond-shaped eyes. She even took a few steps to An Qi who rolled up her sleeves, found the dagger and put it down slowly: "Don't you?

Happy, why don’t you have a fight?”

Naturally, An Qi didn't dare to hide anything from Ruan Zhen. She frowned and saw that wrinkles were about to form on her forehead. She said in frustration, "I can't beat him."

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips: "You are a woman after all, why won't he let you?"

An Qi: "No, he beat me the hardest when I was practicing martial arts when I was young."

This sentence caused Ruan Zhen to look at Changfeng with something wrong.

By the time we left Jinyutang, it was still too early.

Ruan Zhen was helped into the carriage by Gu Huaizhi: "I haven't seen Prince Yun in the past few days. Is he scared to leave the house?"

Gu Huaizhi rolled up his sleeves and made tea smoothly: "Not really."

He expressed Yun Simian's sadness in the most casual tone: "Perhaps he is trying hard to study hard and wants to take the top prize."

"With his temperament, he is actually willing?"

"I don't want to." Gu Huaizhi spat out two words, obviously not wanting to say more about that idiot.

But the line of sight in the carriage was hard to ignore. Even if he didn't raise his head, he could imagine Ruan Zhen's fair and delicate face now filled with pleading and "hungry for knowledge."

I could only smell the aroma of tea, and an imperceptible wisp of green smoke swirled up, gradually dispersed, and lingered on the tip of my nose.

I don’t know how long it took, but I saw his thin lips moving, and the deep voice came again.

"He had countless misdeeds. The Duke wanted to take care of his family. Unexpectedly, in order to hide from him, when he ran away in a panic, he stepped on his clothes and fell hard. His face was almost disfigured. Therefore, he can't go out to this day."

If he fell, he would fall. But this time, his whole face hit the uneven stone. He was bleeding on the spot.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was filled with people, so Imperial Physician Yong, who had just come out of the Guo Gong's Mansion that day, was dragged to the Zhenguo Gong's Mansion without stopping.

Yun Simian loves face. His dignity can be trampled on, but his face absolutely cannot!

Yi Lin asked him to have a drink with him, but Yun Simian also refused, even brazenly talking out loud, so he had to study at home.

Even when his old sweetheart from Manchun Court, Meimei, was ransomed and happily married, Yun Simian didn't come forward.

Ruan Zhen could not imagine what a disaster this would be for the beauty-loving Yun Simian.

Apart from feeling distressed, I also secretly wanted to see Yun Simian's miserable condition.

Ruan Zhen smiled lightly, but when she was about to speak, she realized something was wrong. She opened the curtain slightly and wondered: "This is not the way back home."

Gu Huaizhi just smiled and said nothing.

Until the carriage slowly stopped, Ruan Zhen walked out of the carriage, surrounded by cars and horses, and a stream of people. Her eyes fell on the majestic stone lion standing on the left and the open red door.

Gu Huaizhi helped her get out of the carriage.

Just as he was about to speak, his face darkened.

"Changfeng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Changfeng quickly disappeared from Ruan Zhen's sight like a bolt of lightning. Soon, he came forward with the angry man in his hand.

The other party was dressed in extremely poor clothes, but he never lowered his head: "Why are you arresting me, sir? I have never done anything unconscionable."

Gu Huaizhi looked at him casually and said, "You have been following me all the way, Meng Zhizhou? You are fine. Regarding the food and salary embezzlement case, people from the Criminal Department have failed to catch you for many years. You have been running away and hiding for so long, but you don't want to be in Lin'an. Now,

You still dare to get in front of me? Why, you also want to reverse the case? "

The man's face froze: "I was wronged! It was Chi Zhang who harmed me back then! I have never seen any of the money, and I have no way of knowing where it went. But back then, the Chi family purchased a lot of shops and fields! I did it

My achievements are obvious to the world! It’s definitely not me!”

"Chi Zhang? He will be interrogated and executed. The corruption incident has been going on for many years, but there are always clues if you want to investigate. There will be legal judgments on whether the case is unjust or not."

"Send away."

Changfeng said respectfully: "Yes."

"Wait! Aren't you the chief assistant? Come and check!"

Gu Huaizhi seemed to be smiling but not smiling, thinking that he was still a good official: "You think I'm idle?"

The other party:??You returned home from the next day and went to Jinyutang again. You stopped the carriage here many times to buy food! Are you too fucking busy?

Gu Huaizhi looked at the little lady holding the rabbit quietly and said in a casual tone.

"This house was awarded by the emperor."

"It's just barely enough."

Ruan Zhen was slightly startled. Gu Huaizhi had never mentioned this matter before, so it was unexpected for her now.
