"No, didn't you say there are two more alive?"

"Those two people were left alive on purpose. They were just horsemen with low status and no qualifications to serve at the table. After the gangsters attacked, someone immediately knocked out the low-status coachmen and horsemen, and finally killed the others.

The two unconscious men were left alone and kicked into the bushes at the foot of the slope. They thought they had passed out and rolled down, and they were lucky enough to survive. Little did they know that the gangsters only left them here to confuse the public."

"OMG!"

"It's so audacious and insane!"

"It's terrible!"

"Amitabha!"

There were many female relatives in the room. After listening to Gu Changting's story, they all sighed. After discussing for a while, Ms. Liao asked with a smile: "Since it is so watertight, how come the prince noticed it?"

Before Gu Changting could speak, he heard the old concubine say calmly: "The truth is that the sky net is vast and does not leak out. If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. How can there be an airtight wall in this world? If you can't hide it from others, you can also hide it.

Can he be better than my grandson? Wouldn’t the emperor send him as an imperial envoy if he knew how smart he was?”

Speaking of this, the old concubine glanced at Mr. Liao as if inadvertently and sighed: "Most people in this world are smart people who think they can hide the truth, but in fact they are just trapping themselves in a cocoon."

Ms. Liao felt a thump in her heart and wanted to reply, but she felt guilty and could only pick up the tea cup and pretend to drink tea to cover it up.

******************

"It's been a tiring day, so go to bed early. Chun Yu, you...that's all, you can go too. Watch the six boys and girls at night, don't let them push up the quilt."

"yes."

Chunyu agreed and turned around to leave. Xinghua and Lizhi talked for a while and then left, leaving only Litchi, who seemed to have something on her mind and stopped looking at the door.

Xin Nian looked in the mirror and took off his hairpins and jewelry, and changed into a pair of fine cotton clothes. He stood up and took a closer look, and laughed at himself: "I seem to have gained some weight. This dress is a bit tight."

"Where's the tightness? It's what makes my aunt's figure look so slim. You were too thin before, but now you're plump, adding more charm and charm."

"You're really good at talking." Xin Nian glanced at Lychee and saw her leaning on the door frame, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you waiting for? It's the end of the day, why don't you turn off the lights and go to bed."

Finally, Lychee stretched her neck and glanced outside the door a few more times. She looked a little disappointed and murmured: "I'm waiting for the prince. It's his first day back. I thought he would come to my aunt."

"Girl, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Or do you think of me as your sister? Do you also know that on the first day when the prince came back, he took the wrong medicine and came to my place? There were already a lot of talk about doting on concubines and killing wives. This is going to happen.

Now that he’s here, he doesn’t sit down immediately? What good will it do to him?”

"Your Majesty is not the kind of person who cares about such things."

Li Zhi finally gave up and walked back and blew out the candles one by one while muttering: "After so many years, he has never said that he would spend the first night in the main house when he went out to return home. It was all done out of heed.

"

Xin Nian was startled, and then said calmly: "There must be some restraint, but... In this way, my sister's life is really too hard, alas! This bastard Gu Changting."

"You can't say that to the prince. The princess is already very grateful. The prince really has no love for the princess. He just has to abide by the marriage arranged by the elders that day."

After Lychee finished speaking, she blew out the last candle, and the moonlight outside the window immediately filled every corner of the room. Although it was hazy, it was full of clear light.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Xin Nian raised his hand and waved, then said to Li Zhi: "Why are you like my sister? Since there is no relationship between husband and wife, you still have to speak for him. But I know Gu Changting best. He is such a considerate person.

Gentle, but actually heartless and ruthless..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phrase "How dare you, a thief" from the previous life seemed to ring in his ears again. Xin Nian was stunned and stopped saying this.

"I don't think so. Although people say that the prince is decisive in killing and ruthless, he is really good to his relatives. Even our princess, no matter how ruthless he is, he has not lost respect for grandma and several others.

My aunt is also considerate enough. If a man does this, he is already one in a million."

"Silly girl, you don't understand. As affectionate as he is, he is actually another kind of ruthless. He seems to care about everyone, but in fact, his heart is empty and there is no one."

Lychee smiled "ha": "Auntie's description is novel and interesting. It makes sense when I think about it. It reminds me of the poem that the princess always said in the past. What is it called? It seems to be passionate and ruthless? Anyway,

That’s what it means.”

"Sentimental but always ruthless, what's the next sentence?" Xin Nian rubbed his forehead: "Oh! The little poetry and book knowledge I was forced to save by my parents since I was a child has been almost completely thrown away by me. Liu Zai will enter this year.

Ethnology, the prince said that Yaya also needs to be literate and read, so it seems that I have to pick up those books and read them when I have time."

Li Zhi laughed: "There is a prince, what should my aunt be afraid of? The prince is famous for being both civilized and military. My aunt is a woman. It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. Our princess is full of poems and books, so what's the use?"

"Well, you're right. Reading is not as enjoyable as practicing martial arts." Xin Nian got into the bed and waved to Li Zhi: "Okay, go sleep outside quickly, and we can talk about our energy later."

"yes."

Lychee tucked her in, then straightened up. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard the faint voice of her mother-in-law coming from outside: "Who is it? My aunt is already asleep."

"It's me. Open the door."

"It seems like...Prince?"

Then there was the sound of the courtyard door opening. Xin Nian and Li Zhi looked at each other in the moonlight. Li Zhi said happily: "How is it? The prince is indeed here, am I right? He has never been an old master who follows the rules."

"Following the rules is a gentleman. What kind of old master is that?"

As Xin Nian spoke, he also got up from the bed. At this moment, he heard the outer door being pushed open, and Gu Changting's familiar voice sounded: "Sleeping? Why did you sleep so early? Didn't you think about waiting for me to come? I know you

You don’t take me to heart, but that’s too slight, right?”

"Your Majesty is serious, I can't afford to carry such a big pot. I really didn't expect you to come."

Lychee only had time to light a pair of red candles, so she hurriedly opened the curtain for Gu Changting. Just as she was about to salute, she saw the prince wave his hand: "No need, go and pour me a cup of tea. Do you have any snacks? Bring two plates over.

, I’m a little hungry now.”

"It's late at night, don't drink tea, just drink a glass of water. There are snacks. Please pick up a big plate and pick up two plates of lychees."

Xin Nian persuaded, taking Gu Changting's cloak and hanging it up. Seeing Li Zhi go out, she wondered: "Why is the prince coming here now? At the family banquet tonight, the food was sumptuous. I was almost full, what could you do?"

Not full yet?”
