Chapter 231: People's hearts are unpredictable

When Qi Ning returned to the mansion, she saw Gu Qinghan. She learned from Gu Qinghan that no one in the Marquis' Mansion was infected, so she felt relieved...

Gu Qinghan naturally knew that Tang Nuo was taken to Yong'an Hall, but he didn't know the details. Qi Ning knew that if Tang Nuo was telling him that he was studying the body, he would be afraid that the beautiful woman would be scared to death. He only said that he was studying the medicine in the pharmacy and did not tell the truth.

He just told Gu Qinghan not to let anyone in the Marquis' mansion go out easily these days. If he had to go out, he should be careful.

"Yes, did you see that girl Ximen?" Gu Qinghan suddenly asked, "She came over early in the morning and waited outside for half an hour. She just said she wanted to find you something and invited her in. She didn't speak, but stood outside the door, which was very strange." She lowered her voice and said, "She is from the Shenhou Mansion. I saw that she was looking for you at this time, and she didn't tell you where she went, so she asked her to tell her that when you went out to do business, she didn't ask you where you went, and just waited there." She frowned slightly: "A girl's house is cold and the ground is frozen, so I'm afraid it's frozen."

Qi Ning knew that the Shenhou Mansion had always been in contact with criminal cases. Although it was a formal yamen in the empire, many people were confused about secrets. When they heard the name of the Shenhou Mansion, they naturally thought of the case.

The people from the Shenhou Mansion stood at the door early in the morning. No wonder Gu Qinghan was so mean and did not report it to the truth. He knew that Gu Qinghan was protecting him. He smiled slightly and said, "Does Sanniang know that she is the daughter of Ximen Shenhou?"

"Oh?" Gu Qinghan was a little surprised: "She is the daughter of the Lord of God? I have heard of it, but I have never seen it." Her beautiful eyes turned and she asked: "Yes, is it her the girl who sent you back yesterday?"

Ximen Zhanying sent Qi Ning to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, but was finally angry by Qi Ning and drew his sword to slash. This happened in front of the house, so Gu Qinghan naturally could not have known it.

However, after that, Qi Ning hurried to the Qinhuai River and then worked hard again overnight. Gu Qinghan was eager to check whether the Marquis' Mansion was infected, so neither of them had the chance to mention it.

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I drank with Shenhou yesterday. When I left, Shenhou was more enthusiastic and asked her daughter to send it here."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's lips: "It was her who sent you back yesterday, and it was her who came to find you again early this morning...!"

Qi Ning immediately said, "Sanniang, don't think about it. I and her... that's nothing. When she comes to the Marquis' Mansion, it's all the meaning of the Marquis."

Gu Qinghan misunderstood what she had to do with Tang Nuo in the previous episode. This time, when Gu Qinghan said this, Qi Ning was worried that she would think more and hurriedly explain.

As soon as he said that, he felt very strange and thought to himself, why are you in a hurry to explain? If it was for fear that Gu Qinghan would misunderstand what he had with Ximen Zhanying, why are you afraid that Gu Qinghan would misunderstand?

In this era, men have three wives and four concubines, and they are only promising to be romantic. They are a dignified Marquis of Jinyi. Even if there are really many women, it is natural.

But deep down, he seemed to be worried that Gu Qinghan mistakenly thought that he had something to do with other women. Qi Ning knew that this only showed that he cared too much about Gu Qinghan in his heart.

Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes were like fog, and she glanced at Qi Ning, beautiful and charming, and smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry to explain? I didn't say what you have, I mean..." After pausing, he looked around and was sure that there was no one, and then lowered his voice: "I mean why did the Shenhou of Ximen do this? It's not that there are no one in the Shenhou Mansion. It was a bit abnormal to ask a girl's house to send you back yesterday. Early this morning, he sent his daughter here. Could it be that the people in the Shenhou Mansion couldn't make any move and insisted on Miss Ximen coming here in person?"

Qi Ning frowned, feeling that Gu Qinghan had something in his words, and couldn't help but approach Gu Qinghan. The beautiful woman's body fragrance that spread from her was even more intense, "Sanniang, are you saying that something is wrong in the middle?"

Yesterday, Ximen Zhanying was sent to see him off, but Qi Ning didn't think too much. He only thought that Ximen Shenhou had to get closer to himself because of that book.

But Ximen Zhanying came here again this morning, and Qi Ning really felt something was wrong.

Gu Qinghan walked away quietly, opened the distance from Qi Ning, sat down on the chair, and said, "I don't know if there is anything strange. This girl Ximen is born in martial arts and is naturally a little different than an ordinary girl, but no matter how different it is, she is a big girl after all. She has too much contact with you, so it doesn't matter. Doesn't Ximen Shenhou have no scruples?"

Qi Ning couldn't help but walk to Gu Qinghan again, approached Gu Qinghan and whispered: "Sanniang, I think you must have some worries, even if you say it."

Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning and saw him leaning against her, so close that she could even clearly smell the macho smell emitted from Qi Ning. Her cheeks were slightly hot, and she whispered: "Don't get so close, it's not good to be seen by others."

Qi Ning felt aroused in her heart, thinking that you were just afraid of being seen by others, but she didn't say that you wouldn't let me get close. She was happy and sat down on the chair next to her. Gu Qinghan said softly: "Ning'er, the officials in the court have no simple thoughts. Ximen Shenhou has been in charge of the Shenhou Mansion for more than 20 years. Although he has a good relationship with our Jinyi Marquis, he has not been able to say anything." After a pause, he said: "Anyway, I can't say these things, but you still have to be more careful. The old saying is good. You must be careful of being guarded against others, and you must be careful when you contact officials in the court in the future."

Qi Ning thought to himself that Gu Qinghan was just a beautiful and delicate woman, but she really had a good understanding. She smiled and said softly: "Sanniang, I can't suffer any loss with you as a virtuous assistant."

"I'm talking nonsense again." Gu Qinghan glared at him, "The girl is still waiting outside, so don't delay, go and go early and come back early." He frowned again and said, "I've been busy all night and haven't eaten yet. Do you want to eat something first before going?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "If I delay any further, I am afraid that Miss Ximen will really rush in with a knife."

After washing, washing his face with hot water, cleaning up, Qi Ning went out and followed Ximen Zhanying to the Shenhou Mansion. Zhao Wushang still followed with two guards.

The sky was already completely bright and I was riding on my horse. Qi Ning found that the streets and alleys were quite deserted. From time to time, I saw officers and soldiers of the Tiger God Camp guarding some key intersections. Are there cavalrymen of the Tiger God Camp patrolling the streets and alleys? Although the number of people is indeed not large, the atmosphere looks very loud.

Without Qi Ning showing her identity, Ximen Zhanying was dressed in the dress of the Shenhou Mansion. When she encountered a card, she showed the Shenhou Mansion’s sign. Although she had not officially become an official in the Shenhou Mansion and did not receive a salary, she was actually the same as the officials in the Shenhou Mansion on weekdays. After all, she was the daughter of Ximen Wuhen, so she also gave her a special brand.

Every time Qi Ning saw Ximen Zhanying showing her sign, she felt that this girl had a heroic and heroic aura, and was often ripped in front of him, but in front of others, Ximen Zhanying still seemed as calm as water. He suddenly thought that he was busy all night to make the officers and soldiers prepare early to deal with the upcoming outbreak of the epidemic. However, if the situation did not happen today, and Xue Lingfeng sent troops out again, the consequences would be a little troublesome.

Although Xue Lingfeng can be said that the Beggar Gang disciples suddenly went crazy on the street, which would disturb the safety of the capital, so they mobilized troops to maintain order, but if the epidemic in the capital did not break out for a long time, Xue Lingfeng would not dare to block the streets just because hundreds of Beggar Gang disciples ran around the streets.

At that time, there will be no exception for Xue Lingfeng to make a big deal, and there may even be someone who directly participates in the crime of placing troops through a vacancies.

Moreover, those Beggar Gang disciples were running around in the capital. If there was no epidemic or poison outbreak, the court would be afraid that they would severely punish the Beggar Gang. At that time, the people of the Beggar Gang might turn their resentment towards them.

If the epidemic and poison break out today, under the disaster, both the Beggars' Sect and Xue Lingfeng's actions may be temporarily covered up by the disaster. However, if there was no epidemic and poison break out, then the actions of Xue Lingfeng and the Beggars' Sect would be extremely conspicuous.

While thinking, he had arrived at the Shenhou Mansion without stopping.

Qi Ning came once and was familiar with the Shenhou Mansion. Ximen Zhanying led Qi Ning into the Shenhou Mansion. Seeing a Shenhou Mansion official in the courtyard, he stepped forward and asked a few questions, then turned around and said, "Come with me."

Qi Ning thought to see this posture, and her dream of having breakfast at the Shenhou Mansion would probably turn into a bubble. She followed Ximen Zhanying through a courtyard, walked a short distance, and arrived at a half-moon gate. Two Shenhou Mansion officials guarded the Shenhou Mansion. Ximen Zhanying asked, "Is Shenhou in there?"

One person said: "Little junior sister, Shenhou and the eldest brother are all here. Shenhou said that no one is allowed to enter without permission."

Ximen Zhanying looked back at Qi Ning, pointed at Qi Ning and said, "This is... this is the Marquis of Jinyi. Please come here, go and report it quickly."

Qi Ning saw it and thought that after all, the Shenhou Mansion was still in order. Even if Ximen Zhanying was the biological daughter of the Shenhou, it seemed that he would still follow the rules in this Shenhou Mansion.

Both guards immediately saluted Qi Ning. Although the Shenhou Mansion was mysterious and low-key, managing the affairs of the world, it was still the yamen of the court after all, and these officials were also the yamen of the court. When they saw the marquis of the imperial kingdom, they naturally had to salute.

One person entered the yard, and not long after, he came out and said, "Little Junior Sister, the Lord Shen asked Marquis Jinyi to come in."

Ximen Zhanying said lightly to Qi Ning: "Come with me!" and was about to go in. The official raised his hand to block it, "Little Junior Sister, the Lord Shen only invites the Marquis of Jinyi to come over, you...!" He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ximen Zhanying.

Ximen Zhanying was stunned at first, then his cheeks turned a little red and a little embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Why don't you let me in?" He turned his head and looked at Qi Ning beside him. He saw Qi Ning smiling and was angry, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? Have you seen it before? Go in by yourself." He turned around, turned his back to Qi Ning, saw a tree in front of him, twisted his waist and walked up, pulled out a knife, and chopped it on the tree with one knife, looking extremely angry.
