Inside the carriage, a gentle breeze carried a soft and lonely flute sound blowing in from the curtain, and Gu Qingyuan was in a trance for a moment.
The sound of the flute is like a poem or a complaint, spread long and long.
Gu Qingyuan pulled the cloak tightly on her body, and Pei Jinting looked at her with eyes that he had never seen before.
This was even more surprising than the last time Pei Jinting took advantage of her to sleep and said in her ear, "Develop a relationship with me."
His words made Gu Qingyuan very uneasy. But apart from being uneasy, she was also a little happy and flattered.
This feeling is too dangerous.
She was inexplicably afraid, as if someone had suddenly crossed the clearly drawn boundary between Chu, He and Han.
This made her very uncomfortable.
She was still more accustomed to the way he was before, maybe he was teasing her, or maybe he was saying things that were so annoying that he wouldn't even pay for his life.
Not like this now.
There was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
This dissatisfaction is not just a lack of love, he wants more.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips tightly and finally raised her eyes to look at him.
What else could she give him?
Terrified.
Her mind is a little confused.
Suddenly, he remembered the important person he mentioned in the Imperial Manor, as well as the conversation, the person he mentioned he admired.
"Pei Jinting, I am really touched and surprised that you came to save me today."
"When I was in jail, lonely and helpless, my knight-errant hero suddenly stepped in front of me and stretched out his hand..."
"only……"
"Then just be moved and surprised." Pei Jinting interrupted her.
Gu Qingyuan shook her head slightly,
"Pei Jinting. Have you forgotten the person you admire?"
"If you don't divorce your wife, how will you be with her in the future?"
Pei Jinting stared into her eyes and realized that she probably really thought so and didn't understand him at all...
The seriousness in his eyes slowly faded away, he curled his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, returning to the lazy and carefree style he was familiar with before.
"Gu Yuanyuan. Why have you suddenly become smarter?"
Gu Qingyuan seemed to hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice.
She knew it was like this.
"She will never be reconciled in this life. So, Gu Yuanyuan..." Pei Jinting leaned over to support her.
"I will not recognize the divorce letter written by my mother. I can only wrong you to stay with your husband for the rest of your life."
Perhaps it was due to the light in the carriage, but Gu Qingyuan felt that there seemed to be something different in Pei Jinting's face, like a resentful woman in a boudoir.
Gu Qingyuan felt that she must have seen it wrong.
How could he be a resentful woman?
He will only turn other women into resentful women.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
Pei Jinting retracted his hand, stood up without saying a word, and got out of the carriage.
His tall and straight figure showed some indifference as he walked forward alone.
Is this...angry?
Gu Qingyuan frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought, and even forgot to get off the carriage.
In the silence, the driver of the carriage spoke respectfully, "Young lady, please be careful when you get out of the car."
Gu Qingyuan suddenly came to her senses. Before she even landed on her feet, the man who had already walked several feet away quickly turned around and strode towards her.
After getting closer, the man picked her up without saying a word.
Gu Qingyuan felt her body light up and was held in Pei Jinting's arms.
She was startled, panicked and afraid, and she didn't dare to move half of her body.
"Pei Jinting, put me down. There is someone else."
She only thought that Pei Jinting would only take her to another courtyard. Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped in front of Pei's house.
Pei Jinting ignored it and just strode forward.
Gu Qingyuan had no choice but to hug his neck.
The man's expression seemed to soften again, and he told the maid,
"Let people prepare water and food."
After he finished speaking, without stopping a step, he carried Gu Qingyuan back to the yard, until he gently placed her on the couch by the window.
"You have a good rest in the yard first, and don't see anyone who comes. I'll leave He Zheng to you."
"We'll talk about the rest when I get back. Okay?"
Gu Qingyuan did not refuse.
At this time, there were a few bangs and someone knocked on the courtyard door, and the maid outside answered the door.
"Sir, everyone you want is ready."
Chaotic footsteps poured into the yard.
Pei Jinting signaled Gu Qingyuan to rest, got up and went out.
Gu Qingyuan sat back on the couch and waited for a long time, but Pei Jinting hadn't come back yet.
He was able to find Lu Wenze's house in time, maybe he took a big risk, and he must have a lot to do.
She slowly calmed herself down.
She thought that with such an identity, she could do nothing but follow the instructions and curl up with her eyes closed to fall asleep.
The town's official residence and back house.
It was still dark, and a scream seemed to break through the sky.
The maid who served Gu Yunniang collapsed on the ground with a face full of fear, and the lamp in the room illuminated everything.
Millipedes one after another crawled over Gu Yunniang's body, their mouths, ears and noses, and their twisting bodies made people's scalp numb.
It took a long time for the maid to let out a sharp scream,
"Come on, come on, girl... wake up, girl..."
However, no matter how the maid called, Gu Yunniang remained unconscious.
Mrs. Ruan heard the sound and rushed to Gu Yunniang's yard, looking at Gu Yunniang with her eyes tightly closed.
Her whole body was bright.
Who is this person who can sneak into the Zhenguo Palace without anyone noticing?
Ruan was covered in cold sweat and shivered for a long time. Suddenly her eyes widened in fear and the veins on her neck popped out.
"Come on, go find the doctor quickly..."
After that, Mrs. Ruan was in extreme fear every moment. She didn't even dare to blink her eyes, for fear that when she opened them again, she would see Gu Yunniang's body.
In an alley not far from the Zhenguo Palace, Pei Jinting stood against the morning light, his face blurred but his eyes sharp.
"How to do it? Remember, I have to treat the root cause."
At first, he asked his subordinates to treat others in their own way.
Gu Yunniang's fault was with her tongue, which naturally made her unable to speak.
Drugging is easy to detect.
Simply, those who do this use insects.
They are all millipedes with a weak venom, which will not harm people's lives, but can make people unable to speak for months.
If Gu Yunniang was not from the Zhenguo Palace, she would probably be poisoned and mute.
However, these methods are all painless to Pei Jinting.
He interrupted the subordinate who reported the report, "This time, she must either learn to shut up completely or retreat when she hears A-Yuan's name.
"Send someone to ask her if she has had enough life. If she doesn't want her, I will send someone to help her."
If Gu Yunniang hadn't caused these troubles, Gu Qingyuan wouldn't have suffered those crimes.
But in fact, everyone has different positions. Judging from the behavior of the whistleblower, Gu Yunniang did nothing wrong.
Her real fault was that she had evil intentions and did it with malice and intent to harm Gu Qingyuan.
If she had any brains, she would not join forces with outsiders to deal with Gu Qingyuan.
This will not only harm Gu Qingyuan, but also the reputation of the town government.
Gu Qingyuan waited for Pei Jinting for a long time, but he didn't come back.
She drifted off to sleep, and a knock on the door woke her up.
"Young Madam, it's not good. It seems something happened to the young master."
