Chapter 751 Houmen is as deep as the sea
/p> The thrilling conversation in the Buddhist temple made Qi Ning's back feel cold.
He always felt that if there was someone worthy of his trust, it would be Gu Qinghan, but the secret he discovered now became a kind of irony.
At this time, he finally realized that the seemingly silly old woman in the Buddhist temple was actually always in control of the Marquis' Mansion of Jinyi, and even Gu Qinghan had to succumb to her power.
The Marquis's Gate is as deep as the sea. Qi Ning has heard this sentence countless times, but only then can he truly appreciate the meaning of it.
Qi Ning really couldn't understand why this old woman was about to stop, so why did she still have such a strong desire to control her? Why did she use Gu Qinghan to monitor her every move?
Suddenly, my heart was shaking and wondering if this old woman could see some flaws?
But this makes sense. If the Grandma really saw that she was a fake prince of Jinyi, why didn't she expose it? With her status in the prince of Jinyi, she would be afraid that she would be crushed to pieces by a casual word. If she saw that she was a Western-style mansion, why didn't she worry about the whereabouts of the real prince of Jinyi?
Moreover, in order to save himself, the Grandma even asked Qi Yu to go up the mountain to become a monk. If the Grandma saw through the flaws, it would be difficult to explain these things clearly.
Suddenly, she thought of the grandma just called Liu Suyi a "bitter", which obviously caused her resentment towards Liu Suyi. So she sent Gu Qinghan to monitor her. Is it because of Liu Suyi?
Qi Ning has never known what kind of secrets are hidden in Liu Suyi, but Liu Suyi is obviously a woman with a very story.
Whether it is Zhuo Qingyang, Xiang Baiying, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, or even the Miao witches far away from Xichuan, they seem to know Liu Suyi quite well. These people are all important figures, but they are all different from each other. If Liu Suyi can know these people, he is naturally not an ordinary woman huddled in the boudoir. What kind of secret does Liu Suyi have and why does it arouse so resentment from the Madam?
Qi Ning was quick-thinking, and when she thought of this, she suddenly thought of a possibility.
It turned out that the prince of Jinyi was a fool that many people knew, and this was a bit abnormal.
The father of the prince Jinyi is the imperial general who commands thousands of troops, and his mother Liu Suyi is highly praised by literary masters like Zhuo Qingyang. Naturally, these two people are of extraordinary talent, so how could they give birth to a fool who is ignorant? Is there another reason for this?
Look at the attitude of the Grandma towards Liu Suyi, is it possible that it is because of hatred for the house and the house. Because of her resentment towards Liu Suyi, the Grandma involved this resentment on Prince Jinyi? This is not impossible. It is also because of her disgust towards Prince Jinyi that she has always been prejudiced against Qi Ning. After Qi Ning inherited the title of Marquis of Jinyi, the Grandma was always worried that Qi Ning would do something harmful to Jinyi's family, so she sent Gu Qinghan to monitor it.
Qi Ning felt thoughtful, but the Buddhist temple was quiet for a while.
Qi Ning sneered in her heart, thinking that you were worried that I would hurt Jinyi Qi's family. I really didn't want to carry this burden. If it weren't for Gu Qinghan's sake, I would have gone far away long ago.
He has now settled down in Jinyi Qi's family, one because of Gu Qinghan, and two because he wanted to use Jinyi Qi's family's power to help the little emperor Longtai hold the throne. If there was no such reason, he really didn't care whether Jinyi Qi's family was sinking or floating. After a moment of silence in the house, he heard the faint voice of the lady asking: "Is there no news about Qi Yu in the Daguangming Temple?"
Gu Qinghan replied softly: "After Qi Yu was taken hostage and left, there has been no news. Da Guangming Temple has also sent someone to inform the major temples in the Chu State and secretly searched for Qi Yu."
The lady did not speak immediately, and then said after a while: "You go down first. If there is news from Qi Yu, you can go back and forth to me."
"Yes." Gu Qinghan said respectfully.
Qi Ning heard it and thought to himself that this old woman already knew that Qi Yu was taken away by King Muye. It seemed that she knew about the things outside without leaving home. However, from the tone of the grandma, she also heard that the old woman was quite concerned about Qi Yu, but she felt relieved when she thought about it. Although Qi Yu became a monk, Qi Jing's blood was flowing on him after all, and it was normal for the old woman to care about him.
Hearing footsteps from inside the house, Qi Ning knew that Gu Qinghan was going out, so he immediately retreated, dodged to the side of the house, and looked over. After seeing that Gu Qinghan had come out of the house, he immediately brought him to the door, reached out to lift the lantern, looked around, and then walked out of the yard with the lantern.
Looking at Gu Qinghan's graceful and charming figure, Qi Ning felt a little annoyed and thought that she was really fascinated by beauty.
When I first saw Gu Qinghan, the beautiful young woman, when I first saw him, I was immediately moved. Later, I was even more moved by her gentleness and considerateness. I always felt unfair to her. Who knew that she was actually a squid liner buried beside her. She felt a little angry, but a little inexplicably sad.
After Gu Qinghan left, the yard was filled with silence again.
Qi Ning's face was a little cold, and she stood up slightly, stared at the door of the Buddhist temple, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.
When he returned to his room, Qi Ning felt tired like he had never felt before, and did not change his clothes. He lay on the bed, put his arms behind his head, and closed his eyes.
The fundamental reason why he feels belonging to the Marquis of Jinyi is that there is a person like Gu Qinghan who discovered the secret tonight. For a moment, he felt that the distance between him and Gu Qinghan was like a corner of the world. The image of the charming and gentle young woman in his mind was originally extremely clear, and her every frown and smile was imprinted in his mind like a portrait, but at this time he found that his beautiful face and gentle figure were becoming more and more blurred in his mind.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and Qi Ning sighed in her heart, but she was upset when she lay on the bed.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the knock on the door in a daze. Qi Ning reacted very quickly, turned over and sat up, and said in a deep voice: “Who is it?”
Then I heard Gu Qinghan's soft voice coming from outside: "Ning'er, it's me!"
Qi Ning frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and opened the door. Then he saw Gu Qinghan standing outside the door with a lunch box, with her face covered in peach blossoms, covered in thin gauze, and her legs and beehive waist, which was so beautiful.
If Qi Ning saw Gu Qinghan coming to the door before tonight, he would naturally be very happy. But at this moment, he felt a little calm in his application and asked, "Is there anything Sanniang has to do?"
Qi Ning's attitude was obviously a little surprised, but he still smiled slightly and said, "They said you haven't eaten yet. Are you feeling uncomfortable? I've made some soup for you and you can drink it while it's hot." Then he was about to come into the house, but Qi Ning reached out to stop him and said, "Sanniang, it's getting late, and I'm not hungry. If you enter my house, aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Gu Qinghan was stunned, and her beautiful face was full of surprise. She hesitated for a moment, handed over the lunch box and said, "Then you can take it in by yourself."
Qi Ning didn't answer and said, "I said, I'm not hungry."
Gu Qinghan bit her red lips and glanced at Qi Ning with beautiful eyes. Seeing Qi Ning's face cold and frowned slightly, she finally said, "Then if you are hungry, just find someone." She turned around and left. Qi Ning looked at her from behind. Her jade back was as beautiful as a pipa, her waist was slender, and her round buttocks were plump. She sighed in her heart, thinking that someone used to say that the more beautiful a woman is, the easier it is to deceive people, but now it seems true.
Gu Qinghan took a few steps, but stopped and turned around. Seeing Qi Ning standing by the door and looking at her, she gritted her teeth, but twisted her waist and walked back, staring at Qi Ning and said, "What do you mean? I kindly give you soup, why do you ignore me so much? Where did I offend you again?"
"There is no place to offend Sanniang, so I'm too worried." Qi Ning said: "Sanniang has always been worried about her reputation being damaged. I thought about it and your worries are reasonable, so I think we should not get too close in the future."
"You...!" Gu Qinghan's eyebrows faintly showed anger and said, "Okay, just think it through. In the future, I will just walk around you, so as not to get upset when you see me."
Qi Ning sighed and said, "Sanniang, why should I say that? I didn't say that I was upset when I saw you."
"Then...why do you think of me?" Gu Qinghan bit her red lips, and her pink and red lips seemed to be bleeding. "If you want to get closer, get closer, and if you want to ignore it, you...!" At this point, her eyes turned slightly red.
Although Qi Ning would not feel soft-hearted just because Gu Qinghan sheds a few tears, she also knew in her heart that although Gu Qinghan was monitoring herself, she was forced by the Madam because of helplessness. Moreover, when she heard her talking to the Madam in the Buddhist temple, she still protected herself and sighed: "Sanniang, if I had any bad things in the past, you don't remember the misfortune of a villain, don't take it to heart. It's because I was young and ignorant. Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes again in the future."
Seeing Qi Ning's expression solemn, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then smiled, with a little sad smile, and said, "You are right, you are young and ignorant, and I am also stupid. In fact, it has nothing to do with you, it's all me... it's all my fault." At this point, tears had already rolled down, and I raised my hand to cover my mouth, turned around and left, but this time it didn't stop.
Qi Ning watched her beautiful figure disappear, standing in front of the door in a daze. After a moment, she came to her senses, but felt her heart empty. She looked up at the twilight sky, smiled bitterly, and turned around to go back to the house, but the house was deserted, which made him feel even worse. She didn't go back to the house at the moment, and took the door and walked into the courtyard, but she felt quite depressed in her heart. She pondered for a while and went straight to the horse shed of the Marquis's mansion.
He only felt that he had to go out for some breath at this time to smooth his thoughts, and he did not ask for a horse to prepare. He knew where the stables of the Hou Mansion were located. When he arrived at the stables in the stables, there were a row of horse sheds in the stables, and there were more than a dozen horses.
Jinyi Qi's family is a military family, so the horses they raise are all good horses from a thousand miles away. As soon as Qi Ning arrived at the stable, he immediately came forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Marquis, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
Seeing that the man was in his forties, he was fat, with a bald head, big round face and small eyes, he saw that he was dressed as a groom in the stable and ordered: "Get a horse, I'm going to go out."
