After Ruan Zhen came out, her legs were weak.

She still can't forget the bloody hole and the man's hard chest that she tried hard to ignore.

During this period, Gu Huaizhi never moved a finger or even used his usual sharp verbal attacks.

He is also a decent gentleman.

I even urged her at one point, almost thinking that she was selling her goods into prostitution.

Ruan Zhen touched her face with her hand and realized that her face started to feel hot.

Then he couldn't help but chuckle, gathered up his cloak, and then led Tan Yun and An Qi back.

Little did he know how much impact tonight's events had on the man.

Gu Huaizhi was not sleepy at all.

Even the perfect and beautiful bow didn't relieve him of the accumulated awkwardness.

He overestimated his self-control. Ruan Zhen didn't know it, but he knew it all too well. For a moment, he wanted to hold Ruan Zhen captive and broke the rules.

Divide her into half of the carved rosewood bed in the inner room.

The candles flickered in the house and burned all night.

The man's expression was dark and difficult to distinguish.

He thought, this woman is really bold.

He was so bold that he felt that the wound was in the way, so the wedding was indeed a little late.

————

next day

As soon as Ruan Zhen woke up, she learned from Tan Yun that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was almost going to court with the Xu family.

The two sides were in a stalemate, with no one giving in to the other.

Xu's father asked for a divorce. If Xu stayed in the Hou Mansion, she would be wasting her life, and her life might also be ruined in the hands of Mrs. Fan.

Xu was his only daughter, and she had been in pain since she was a child. It was precisely because of this that Fan Kun came to ask for his hand in marriage.

It will be difficult for a woman who cannot have children after divorce to talk about marriage.

But he is willing to support Xu for his whole life.

Mr. Xu should be willing to leave.

Ever since she married into the Fan family, aside from other things, she has really put Fan Kun first. Mrs. Fan urged her to have a child every day and gave her painful medicine, but Fan Kun said this every time.

There's no rush.

She originally thought that Fan Kun was considerate, but she didn't expect that even if he was anxious, he couldn't be anxious.

Such a commotion made Mr. Xu very disheartened.

However, Mrs. Fan insisted that if Mrs. Xu did not die, this matter would not end well! She would definitely pursue it to the end.

What a beautiful thought, divorce? Mr. Xu doesn’t even deserve to be divorced!

Tan Yun brought the tung basin for washing.

Ruan Zhen twisted the dry cloth and wiped her face.

But she didn't ask about the follow-up. She knew very well.

Xu's family is prosperous, and Xu's three brothers are all capable. Naturally, it is impossible for them to see their direct sister suffer such injustice.

So what if Xu gave me the medicine? Fan Kun took the Jue Zi Pill on his wedding night.

Chakra is cruel, who can compare to him?

If the Fan family wants to pursue the case, how can the Xu family not pursue it?

At this time, there was a lot of commotion, and the reputation of Yong'an Marquis Mansion plummeted.

The breakup with the Xu family caused the prince's faction to break the bridge with the Chi family, and Fan Kun's chess game collapsed.

Fan Kun is the best person to save face. If he doesn't stop Mrs. Fan now, he is just heartbroken. He wants to fight the Xu family to the death.

Both the left and right have lost their face, and their power has been lost.

All his pride was gone.

After Ruan Zhen finished cleaning her face, she took the ivory comb and gently combed her black hair.

"Don't talk about these things in the future."

Ruan Zhen smiled softly.

She said: "I have nothing to do with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion anymore."

Tan Yun nodded immediately: "Yes, I won't ask any more questions from now on."

However, she rolled her eyes.

Then he got closer to Ruan Zhen.

"girl."

"Um?"

"The book you asked me to buy that day was very popular, and many bookstores sold it out. Fortunately, I got there early to grab it."

As she spoke, she took out the black-covered book from her sleeve.

Ruan Zhen looked over and opened a page.

——The second volume of "The Scholar and the Pretty Village Girl".

Tan Yun whispered: "Mother Ge doesn't know, the girl should hide it well."

Ruan Zhen hugged her in her arms, and immediately got up and stuffed it under the pillow! She was going to read it at night. It would be troublesome if Mother Ge saw this kind of book.

But Mu Jiu opened her head, and she was so obsessed with it that she kept thinking about it before falling asleep last night.

After doing this, Ruan Zhen raised his head and asked.

"Where's An Qi?"

"She was in Mama Ge's room before I came. She said it was very difficult to put on the skirt, and she asked Mama Ge for help."

She is a secret guard. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has been wearing fancy clothes since she wanted to enter the Duke's mansion.

Ruan Zhen didn't ask any more questions and had breakfast immediately. Thinking about Gu Huaizhi's injury, Ruan Zhen decided to go to Mo Yuan to have a look.

"An Qi, you just changed your clothes, why are you walking so stupidly with your hands and feet? Come on!"

"Try walking around again. If you're like this, let alone doing the splits, I think it's ridiculous to hit someone."

As soon as he left Furong Courtyard, he saw Chang Su leaning in front of the door of Mo Courtyard, talking disdainfully to An Qi, who was being served by the lotus-colored maid.

An Qi, who was very talkative, walked around him with hands and feet, and then took a stiff breath.

"I can't control myself."

Hearing this, Chang Su couldn't help but want to ridicule, but his ears twitched and he heard the footsteps and looked towards Ruan Zhen who was leading Tan Yun slowly.

With a solemn look on his face, he immediately stood up straight and stepped forward to salute.

"The girl is here to find her master?"

Ruan Zhen nodded.

Ruan Zhen was the woman Gu Huaizhi had designated to marry, and she was also his master. Therefore, Chang Su immediately made a gesture of invitation.

"The master is discussing important matters with Changfeng right now, and I don't know when it will be over. Why don't you go to the Bajiao Pavilion to sit down first?"

Octagon Pavilion?

Ruan Zhen paused.

"Then I'll come later."

"Yes, girl, walk slowly."

Gu Huaizhi is indeed busy.

Changfeng was sent to Lin'an yesterday and came back this morning after a long journey with the news. He didn't even bother to rest, so he went to find Gu Huaizhi as soon as he returned home.

"It is true that as the master expected, the Chi family is closely connected with the Japanese side in private, but because many forces in Lin'an are eyeing her, letters are indeed exchanged in the suburbs."

Gu Huaizhi nodded lightly when he heard this. After learning that Chi Yushi was colluding with Japan, he kept sending his men to investigate in detail.

After listening to Changfeng's words, he was still a little surprised. Who would have thought that there is a secret room in the study room of Chi Mansion, which leads directly to the secret room under the inn at the foot of Fanshan Temple that has been open for more than ten years.

It seems that Chi Zhang has had the idea of ​​​​rebellion for a long time. It is not just a short period of one or two years.

After Changfeng finished his report, he added: "My subordinate took a risk and went to the secret room last night to have a look, but found another strange thing."

When Gu Huaizhi heard this, he raised his eyelids and said casually.

"explain."

Changfeng said respectfully: "There are not many furnishings in the secret room, just a table and a chair. However, the walls of the secret room are densely covered with portraits of the prince from childhood to adulthood."

Gu Huaizhi seemed to have heard a big joke:...

This Chi Zhang is quite interesting.

Instead of hanging portraits of women on this wall, hang portraits of nephews. Just hang one, and it actually covers all the walls.

If you have high hopes for the prince and want to support his rise to power, you shouldn't be so crazy.

Why, is it Chi Xingxun who is lame and unworthy?

Gu Huai was aggrieved for Chi Xingxun.

but……

The man rubbed his jade finger.
