At the end of the auction, the singer was as tender as water and sang a ditty with a Jiangnan accent.

Gu Huaizhi's methods became more and more sophisticated.

Not only Mu Jiu, but also Mu Hansheng was dumbfounded.

He sincerely admired him: "This old guy from the Chi family has to bite the bullet and jump into the trap this time."

Gu Huaizhi said calmly: "When attacking with troops, attacking the heart is the most important thing. You have led troops in battles for many years, and you should know that only by blocking the enemy's vital points can you hit the enemy with one blow."

When King Jing was there, he asked these juniors to be familiar with the art of war. Mu Hansheng knew very well that if Gu Huaizhi was an excellent strategist and led troops, he would definitely be good at it.

But Gu Huaizhi is inseparable from the capital.

He does not enter the court, but he can manipulate those officials in high positions at the palm of his hand.

Mu Hansheng was half-joking: "Your Majesty intends to detain me in Lin'an City and replace you with the Duke's Palace. How about you guard the border fortress in my place? I won't be at ease if the important border areas are left to others."

Gu Huaizhi said, "Don't hurt me."

"how you said that?"

Gu Huaizhi was indifferent, and then said with disdain: "The wind and sun are blowing over there at the border fortress, and my body and bones are delicate."

He glanced at Mu Hansheng critically.

"Dark and ugly, I don't want to be the second you."

Mu Han laughed angrily.

"At any rate, those little ladies that I had a crush on years ago were throwing their wallets away."

Gu Huai hit the nail on the head: "You also know that it was many years ago."

Mu Hansheng is tall and has a heroic face. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is majestic and majestic. After applying the plaster given by Gu Huaizhi, the scar on his face has become noticeably lighter, and he has a solid foundation.

Not really ugly.

"Are you embarrassed to accuse me? Then tell me, has a girl ever thrown a purse and handkerchief on you?"

Gu Huaizhi's eyes were heavy: "They are afraid of death."

Mu Hansheng:......

Right.

Maybe before throwing away the purse, Xiao Hui rushed out to bite someone.

The play was over, and Mu Hansheng was frustrated again. Gu Huaizhi didn't want to stay any longer. He hooked his slender jade-like fingers and knocked on the desk with his knuckles.

When he came, he never showed up. After he left, Gu Huaizhi didn't want to cause any commotion.

He was the one who brought Ruan Zhen out. Even though he found it troublesome, Gu Huaizhi still felt that he had to send her back.

Changfeng understood and quickly went to look for it next door.

He said solemnly through the door.

"Girl, it's getting late, it's time for Qi Chen to go back."

Ruan Zhen stood up immediately, her movements were a little hurried, and her eyes were dizzy. She quickly pressed against the desk to support herself.

After getting used to it, Ruan Zhen took a star anise candy from the table.

Then, he looked at Mu Jiu with a faint smile.

With sugar in his mouth, his words were a little vague, but they became more and more sweet and touching: "In this case, I will leave first."

A quarter of an hour later.

Changfeng drove the carriage quietly out of the inner courtyard of Tengge. Then it drove towards the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Without the noisy Yi Lin, the carriage was extremely quiet.

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes and sat on pins and needles until she was hit by the purse containing snacks.

Ruan Zhen was slightly startled.

Her fingertips turned white, and she subconsciously squeezed the snack bag she took from Xiao Hui's mouth.

Gu Huaizhi lazily took something from his waist without raising his head.

Throw it over again.

Unlike the purse, Ruan Zhen's right arm hurt after being hit. She just heard a "snap" sound and fell to the ground.

Ruan Zhen looked over.

The mutton-fat jade Buddha statue is small and exquisite, with delicate texture, pure and solemn, and the Avalokitesvara statue has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

This...is the real finale.

Is Gu Huaizhi going to give it to her?

Ruan Zhen was startled for a moment, and then looked over with watery eyes.

"If you don't want it, throw it away."

Gu Huaizhi accepted her inspection calmly, and then said disdainfully: "It's just a worthless thing. As my adopted sister, I will naturally give you some sweet treats."

Ruan Zhen:...Have you ever thought about Chi Xingxun's feelings?

The mutton-fat jade feels great to the touch, and the cold feeling is quickly warmed by her.

But Gu Huaizhi never made a loss-making business.

The man looked lazy. He squinted at Ruan Zhen, his eyes dark: "Since you have accepted the mutton-fat jade, I will give you the bracelet my mother gave you as a substitute."

"Even if you call me adopted brother, there is no reason to come to her birthday party wearing a bracelet that has been worn by the Gu family for generations."

This is not how the laws of nature and human relations are written.

He is not that disgusting Fan Kun, and he doesn't want to make any small talk.

Even if Ruan Zhen didn't know about this, Gu Huaizhi didn't show any sympathy.

He rubbed the jade ring between his fingers, and then his voice was low and cold, hitting Ruan Zhen's heart word by word.

"What do you think? Miss Ruan."

Ruan Zhen knew that the bracelet was precious, but she didn't want it to be an accessory for Gu Huaizhi's future wife.

But the bracelet was given by Sheng Wan, not Ruan Zhen who asked for it. She had locked it in the box a long time ago, and she had never coveted it.

It never happened before, and it never will happen again.

Sheng Wan ordered the wrong mandarin duck, Gu Huai was annoyed, she was still aggrieved!

Ruan Zhen's watery eyes were filled with worry.

Gu Huaizhi, who has been so angry these days, really doesn't want to hear a woman's voice!

"You'd better stop talking and prepare the bracelet. I'll ask Changfeng to pick it up later."

Ruan Zhen:... Nervous!

She didn't want to stay for a moment longer. When she arrived at the Marquis Mansion, she got off the carriage and entered the house with frowning eyes, walking slowly along the path.

She took out a piece of snack from her purse with her thin white fingertips. She looked at it in silence for a long time, then took a bite.

It tastes great.

Ruan Zhen ate while walking. Her frown gradually relaxed. When she left Lin'an, she would be able to end her relationship with the people and things here.

Bear with me, Gu Huaizhi has such a bad temper.

Ruan Zhen bit the pastry, left and right..., left and right did not suffer any loss.

But not long after she relaxed, she bumped into someone who even looked dirty to her.

Ruan Zhen paused.

His expression turned cold.

Why did Gu Huaizhi leave and then Fan Kun came?

Fan Kun had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ruan Zhen, his eyes lit up, and the greed in his eyes was clearly revealed.

These days, busy with official duties and having to appease Mr. Xu, he was physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't even care about Ruan Zhen.

I finally had some free time today, but I heard the news from Mrs. Xu that Sheng Wan wanted to recognize Ruan Zhen as her adopted daughter.

This was something he never expected.

Ruan Zhen should cling to him to survive, right?

But when I think about it, this is a good thing.

Before the crown prince ascended the throne, as the adopted daughter of the Duke of Guo, she was qualified to be hired by three matchmakers and six as his stepmother.

When Mrs. Xu's value is fully utilized, he can bring this charming girl into his room, who makes him think about her day and night.

Wouldn’t it be happy?

Ruan Zhen should not resist if she is allowed to be the first wife.

"It's cold. My cousin is always afraid of the cold, so she should wear more clothes."

He approached and thoughtfully handed Mrs. Tang to Ruan Zhen's hands.

Ruan Zhen immediately took a few steps back and confiscated it: "No need to worry about it."

"Are you blaming me for not caring about you these days and getting angry with me?"

Fan Kun is like a cold snake.

"Or are you feeling uneasy after hearing the advice from my servants that I am at peace with the Xu family?"

Ruan Zhen shook off his stretched out hand. She looked into his dark eyes with a calm face and said slowly: "It was Prince Gu who sent me here."

Sure enough, using power to suppress power, Fan Kun's face turned uglier when he mentioned Gu Huaizhi.
