Chapter 157: It's not her nature to sit and wait for death
"Miss Gu is so majestic."
Xin Nianyan sneered.
"I told you it was a misunderstanding, what else do you want???" Gu Jiaojiao glared at Xin Nianyan, "Is it possible that you also want me to kneel down and beg you? No?"
"How could that happen?" Xin Nianyan shrugged, "You are the eldest lady of Pingnan Palace."
"But when the emperor breaks the law, he is equally guilty as the common people.?"
"It's not what I think. General Qiu is in charge of the security of East Street. If he picks quarrels, causes trouble and hurts people, it depends on what the general says.???"
Qiu Xuanji, who was named, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chen Guogong, and then looked at Gu Jiaojiao.
"Miss Gu, why don't you go with me?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved, and several Jinwu guards in armor jogged forward, ignoring Gu Jiaojiao's cursing and wailing, and escorted her away.
"Xin Nianyan, please remember, I will definitely kill you!!!"
Gu Jiaojiao couldn't struggle, so she could only say harsh words to Xin Nianyan.
Xin Nianyan leisurely picked out his ears and waved in that direction.
"Ms. Gu, it's easy to leave without seeing her off."
Gu Jiaojiao was so angry that her teeth almost broke and she could only roar helplessly.
"General, I will take my leave first."
Qiu Xuanji bowed his hands to Chen Guogong.
"Go and get busy."
Chen Guogong waved his hand.
General Qiu nodded to Xin Nianyan again, then turned and left.
When leaving, he also dispersed the crowd at the door?
The turmoil was calmed down by the arrival of the old man.
At Xin Nianyan's request, Xiaozhu distributed the money to the injured shop assistant, winning everyone's gratitude.
"Yan'er, really nothing happened." Chen Guogong asked with a frown, still a little worried.
"I'm fine, grandpa, let's go in and talk."
Xin Nianyan smiled and shook his head, and took the old Duke's arm affectionately and led him into the inner hall.
The old Duke's eyebrows slanted into his temples, his brows sank, and his eyes were gleaming with solemnity. It would be an understatement to say that he was born with a vicious look, but Chen Shiying was the only one who was not afraid of him since she was a child and was very close to him.
Now, like his daughter, his granddaughter is holding him so close, which makes Chen Guogong feel nostalgic for him.
The two entered the inner hall, Xin Nianyan asked someone to serve tea, and then asked about today's meeting with the Holy Spirit.
"Grandpa, this morning..."
She hesitated to speak, and the old man saw what she wanted to ask.
"Looking at my grandpa coming out of the palace so late, you know that today's morning court meeting will not be easy."
The old man stroked his beard and sighed, feeling quite emotional.
"I have handed over military power, and Your Majesty has promised to let me live my life and not go on expeditions."
After debriefing his duties with the emperor today, he went out and met Qiu Xuanji who was patrolling the city, so he invited him to accompany him and had a few words to reminisce about old times.
When I arrived at East Street, I saw a crowd gathering, so I sent someone to investigate, and I learned about Liuyun Pavilion.
"Why did grandpa come out with General Qiu?"
Xin Nianyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"General Qiu served as a deputy general under me for several years. Later, because of his good skills and meritorious service, he was retained by His Majesty."
More than ten years later, he was promoted to General of the Left Army of the Jinwu Guard, which was not considered as giving in to him.
Xin Nianyan nodded.
No wonder he was called Grandpa General just now, and he also called himself the Last General.
"In this way, Yan'er can feel relieved."
"Does this shop belong to you?"
After chatting about business matters, the grandfather and grandson started chatting about home affairs.
"Mother left it behind." Xin Nianyan nodded.
“Nice placement.”
Chen Guogong looked around and nodded in appreciation.
He didn't sit in Liuyun Pavilion for long. In less than half an hour, Xin Nianyan sent the old Duke out of the gate of Liuyun Pavilion.
After seeing her grandfather off, Xin Nianyan had no intention of going back to continue discussing new clothes with the embroiderer. She stood at the door and looked at the spot where Gu Chen stood on the street, frowning in thought.
Although he didn't suffer any loss today, Gu Chen's purpose was very clear. He wanted to make her unhappy, and there were even other reasons.
It's not her temperament to sit back and wait for death. Since Gu Chen cares about her so much, it really doesn't make sense for her not to reciprocate politely.
…
It wasn't until dusk fell that Xin Nianyan took the carriage back home.
As soon as I got off the carriage and before I entered the door, I saw Gu Shuang standing at the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.
It wasn't until he saw her getting out of the car that he came towards her and held her hand.
"Yan'er, are you okay?"
The caring look didn't seem to be fake, he pulled her around and looked around several times, frowned and said.
"I heard that someone went to Liuyun Pavilion to cause trouble. Are you injured?"
Xin Nianyan was stunned for a moment, then patted her hand to comfort her.
"I'm fine."
She was a little surprised that Gu Shuang cared about her so much, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be reasonable.
After all, not everyone is as vicious and cruel as Zhang Yunhui.
If she hadn't been blinded by the mother and daughter in her previous life, and blinded by Qin Yan, and there were many people who were kind to her, how could she have ended up in that situation?
"Everyone who made trouble was driven away by my grandfather."
The two of them entered the courtyard, and Xin Nianyan briefly told her about the situation at that time, which made Gu Shuang feel frightened.
"Why did the people from the Criminal Department come out so quickly?"
She frowned, puzzled.
As he spoke, he met Xin Rouer, who was wearing a veil and a light green spring dress. Xin Nianyan curled the corners of her lips coldly.
"It's not thanks to her."
"Sister, Mrs. Gu."
Xin Rouer turned to them softly and said, "Sister, I heard that you almost got into a fight with someone outside. Is everything okay?"
Compared to Gu Shuang's worries, Xin Rou'er was obviously just hypocritical to take pleasure in others' misfortune.
"Thanks to my sister, she is doing very well."
Xin Nianyan approached with a smile, "It's just your good sister who came to find trouble. I'm afraid she won't get better."
Xin Rouer was stunned for a moment, with an innocent look on her face. "I don't understand what sister is saying."
"Even the government didn't know that the prime minister's office was behind Liuyun Pavilion. How did she know, and how did she come to provoke her?"
Xin Nianyan twisted the veil on her face, and the red spots on her face were almost gone, only a few were vaguely visible.
"My sister is going to say that her coming to destroy the store has nothing to do with you. How can my sister believe you?"
Xin Rouer's back felt cold when she saw her, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Sister also knows that Miss Gu and I are close friends. My sister is so smart and capable of running her own shop. Rou'er thought it was amazing, so she told her."
"Rou'er didn't know that she would come to change her clothes and something like this would happen."
"Ms. Gu has always been frank and straightforward. Maybe she said something that offended her sister, which caused such a misunderstanding."
Xin Nianyan sneered in her heart, frank? Straightforward? In that case, it's her fault?
"There is no misunderstanding. She came to the house to cause trouble and has been taken back to the Yamen by Jin Wuwei."
Xin Nianyan glanced at her lightly, "Sister, you don't have to care so much about others, you should just care about the injuries on your face."
"Sister, I have done a lot of research on medicine recently. Do you need to help you make some ointment to nourish you?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister. Rou'er's injury is no longer a problem." Xin Rou'er felt a chill, but she could only say thank you and refuse with a smile.
But as if to disgust Xin Nianyan, she added: "His Royal Highness treats Rou'er well, and it's not just because of Rou'er's face."
