"No. Qingcheng, they are not fools. If you can think of it, they can also think of it. In this way, the prince and Xu Xiang are not fools. They can definitely think of it as soon as they think about it. So the more real it is, the more they will fall into the trap. Xiao

Even small fish and shrimps will die immediately when caught, so it is better to put a long line to catch big fish."

Ruan Qingcheng calmed down at this moment, "A Ning is right, I believe Master Nie and Master Gu."

An Ning avoided this topic.

"Let's make lanterns."

···

About half an hour passed.

At this time, an anxious voice came from the door.

"It's not good, it's not good."

Yue Xi pushed away the person in the study and ran over in a hurry, gasping: "Miss... she's not good."

An Ning frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Miss you are being spread outside...you and Mr. Gu..."

An Ning's expression cooled down a bit.

"Passing what?"

"It's said that... you and Mr. Gu... communicated privately..."

"Bang!"

All the lanterns in Ruan Qingcheng and Xie Nan's hands fell to the ground.

The curvature of An Ning's lips also faded a bit.

Xie Nan said anxiously: "Sister An, how could such a rumor spread? What about your reputation?"

Ruan Qingcheng was shocked and shocked just now.

"Shameless, I have used this trick several times."

It is simply shameless to use this tactic to ruin a woman's reputation.

Moonlight asked from the side: "Miss, what should I do?"

An Ning's voice was filled with frost, "Check where this came from."

"yes."

Lost your virginity?

Haha, funny.

Forget about slandering her, the slander is on Mr. Gu.

Canglan, you deserve death.

Ruan Qingcheng said worriedly: "An Ning, I'm afraid we can't find the source at the moment. Even if we find it, it probably won't be of much use. The most urgent thing is to prove our innocence."

Prove your innocence?

"Why do you need to prove yourself if you are innocent?"

Ruan Qingcheng was still worried: "Even if you say this, the people will not believe it. Now that this matter is spreading in a big way, the people behind it must be well prepared. If you don't prove your innocence, I'm afraid the rumors will get worse and worse."

strong."

An Ning disapproved of this matter.

"Qingcheng, you need evidence to accuse someone in court. Now you are just talking nonsense. You dare to pour any water on me and Mr. Gu. Forget it, let them be proud for a while."

"As soon as this incident came out, they must have thought that Mr. Gu was very busy in the Criminal Department and it was a good time to take action."

The two of them looked at each other, and the meaning of understanding flashed in their eyes.

Ruan Qingcheng knows that if he wants to cause chaos, let him cause chaos. Now he wants to see who can be the pseudo-blind man in the dark.

But she was still worried about An Ning's reputation.

She lowered her voice and said: "Aning, if you don't care about this matter, after this matter is over, I'm afraid your and Mr. Gu's reputation will be difficult to reverse."

This is fashionable and is only spread within a small area. Once the Ministry of Punishment closes the net, this rumor may be known to the entire Da Ye.

When the time comes...

An Ning shook his head.

"Mr. Gu's students are all clean people and will not just watch Mr. Gu being slandered."

"Moonlight, go find some people. If there is someone who is rumored to be eloquent among the crowd, ask him for evidence. If you can't give evidence, it will be slander. Slander against the Prime Minister and the General's Palace.

Let them weigh the crime of being a legitimate daughter."

"Yes, Yue Xi will do it right away."

Ruan Qingcheng sighed softly, "That's good, there will be people who understand and don't believe this. When the time comes, we will dig out the person behind the assassination by the Ministry of Justice, and then cover up this matter. But... above the court

The prince and Prime Minister Xu will definitely target Mr. Gu."

Xie Nan also heard something from the side, and she said anxiously:

"Prince? Mr. Xu? Sister An, you mean, the prince and Mr. Xu did this behind the scenes? Is it possible..."

Xie Nan was shocked. Even if she was stupid, she understood the importance of this matter.

"Sister An, are you...are you..."

An Ning said resolutely: "Yes!"

Xie Nan wanted to ask her if she was participating in the fight for the legitimate son, so there was no harm in telling her.

If Xie Nan goes out to do business, he will have to ask the General's Office to intervene. If the business gets bigger, he will become a thorn in the side of others.

Because they didn't avoid her at all in their conversation.

"I...Sister An, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Her first reaction was that she was very happy that Sister An and Sister Ruan trusted her so much, instead of being afraid that this matter would affect her.

"Of course I believe you."

Let’s continue with the topic we just talked about.

"Master Gu was targeted by the prince in the court. It didn't matter in a short period of time, but it was the seventh prince. The seventh prince always thought that I had a close relationship with Master Gu. An Yue had already made him suspicious before, so he would definitely take advantage of this to ask the emperor to grant a marriage.

.”

Ruan Qingcheng's heart changed: "A Ning, I think it is a good idea to grant a marriage. Mr. Gu has nothing to say in terms of knowledge and character, and he is a perfect match for you. This move can also dispel the seventh prince's suspicion, otherwise

When the time comes, once you clarify your relationship with Mr. Gu, and there is An Yue standing in the way, the Seventh Prince will be more suspicious of you, and neither side will be able to gain anything."

"What I'm more afraid of is that now that you are old, Aning, the crown prince and the seventh prince will never let go of your marriage. What if they use this matter as a basis for your marriage?"

An Ning shook her head gently.

This plan is not feasible. There is no need to do this for such a small thing. Besides...

"Master Gu, if you like someone, why force him to do something difficult? Besides, it's not fair to him to make plans about the marriage."

"What?"

Ruan Qingcheng was really shocked.

"Does Mr. Gu like someone? Doesn't Mr. Gu like you?"

An Ning wondered: "You like me? Why did Qingcheng say this?"

"No, Aning, you believe me, that look is the look in someone's eyes that you like, I won't get it wrong. Besides, I have asked around before, and in so many years, I have never heard that Mr. Gu has been close to any woman.

, look at that time in the palace, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but based on what you said, Master Gu must treat you differently!"

Having said that...

An Ning lowered her eyes.

That evening, the way he looked at her was also looking at his beloved.

But no, that's definitely not her.

Such a deep and profound love, how long have they known each other?

"It can't be me, Qingcheng, I know it very well."

"But···"

Ruan Qingcheng was a little confused.

"Otherwise, Aning, go and ask."

"Ask? How to ask? Should I ask who the person he likes is or if the person he likes is me? What's the point? Qingcheng. Why bother others? If it weren't for this scene, he wouldn't
