When other people heard that there was an insider, they quickly asked: "Tell me, what is going on? Why does the noble lady kneel in front of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion?"
"You don't know this!" The big man puffed out his chest, touched his nose, and said mysteriously: "Then we have to start with what happened the day before yesterday. The adopted son of the Gu family made rude remarks to the Imperial Master. What do you mean?
Who is this National Master? He can be ranked among the best at a young age. The famine in the past was still solved by his strategies. For such a noble person, if the adopted son of the Gu family offends him, isn't this looking for death?"
"So when the matter came to His Majesty's ears, Long Yan was furious and wanted to deprive him of his martial arts quota!"
"That's also the fault of the adopted son of the Gu family. What does it have to do with the eldest lady of the Gu family?"
The people were especially puzzled.
The big man clicked his tongue and shook his head, "You don't understand the twists and turns involved. Miss Gu was once the apprentice of the Imperial Master, and then this adopted son was the fiancé of the eldest daughter. Now the adopted son has made a mistake, and he is a coward and dare not come in person.
To apologize to the Imperial Master, of course I can only ask Miss Gu to come."
The people nodded one after another, showing expressions of enlightenment.
But someone disagreed. He was a short and thin boy. He retorted: "Since Miss Gu is the apprentice of the Imperial Master, why would she let people kneel in front of the mansion!"
The big man glanced at the thin boy and said, "Didn't you hear me say that you were once? Not long ago, the eldest lady and the national master had a public break. They are no longer apprentices!"
"If the eldest lady dares to come, I'm afraid the people from the National Preceptor's Office will only make things difficult for her!"
The big man couldn't help but sigh, stretched out a finger and said, "I'm telling you something quietly, but you must never tell anyone else."
People around him nodded quickly.
The big man then said: "I have a relative who works in the Gu family. He told me that the Imperial Master's Office originally wanted the adopted son to bear a thorn to plead guilty, but Mr. Gu refused and forced the eldest daughter to lose face. For this reason,
I also gave the eldest lady a few whips. Didn’t you see that there are still traces of bandaging on the eldest lady’s body?”
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Gu Changan. From her neck and her arms exposed outside the sleeves, they could see faint gauze, which seemed to be stained with blood.
Suddenly the credibility of the big man's words became higher.
The skinny boy immediately added fuel to the fire and spat: "What kind of thing is this? It's a man's mistake to actually force a woman to kneel here and embarrass herself? What kind of father is this, and what kind of fiancé is this? What kind of beast is this!
"
As soon as his words led others to respond: "Yes! How can you bully a woman like this?!"
In this way, word spread from person to person, and everyone no longer had the mood to watch Gu Changan's drama, but sympathized with her very much.
Located across the street from the Imperial Prefecture is a teahouse, the tea here is the most famous, and some literati like to come here to taste tea.
There is a private room on the second floor with large wooden windows facing the street, so you can enjoy the scenery of people coming and going on the street.
There are two men sitting in the private room. One is wearing a light blue gown and has a jade engraved with the word "Su" hanging on his waist. He is not sitting by the window, but is slowly sipping tea with a leisurely posture.
.
Another man by the window suddenly stood up, lay down by the window and looked down. He pointed at a gathering of people and said in surprise: "Zixuan! Look, why is there someone kneeling in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion?"
"What?" The man named Zixuan became somewhat interested and walked to the window to take a look.
The friend pulled him and saw clearly the kneeling person, "Hey, it's a woman? This is so weird!"
After the man saw it clearly, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately closed the window, "Stop looking, there's nothing interesting to see."
The friend could no longer see the excitement and reluctantly looked away, only to see the anger on the man's face and said in confusion: "Zixuan, what's wrong? Do you know that woman?"
The man's expression was ugly, "Not only do we know each other, you have also met her before. She is my aunt's daughter."
The friend was stunned for a moment, then realized and pointed in the direction of the window in shock, "You said the kneeling person is the eldest lady of the Gu family?"
The man nodded reluctantly.
"Isn't that what I said to you..." The friend remembered that this matter was also a pain point for the Su family, and quickly stopped talking. In other words, he said: "Since she is such a well-behaved young lady of the Gu family, how could she go to the country?"
Kneeling in front of the master's residence?"
Su Zixuan didn't care about this at all, and snorted coldly: "Not long ago, she severed the master-disciple relationship with the Imperial Master, and now she must be begging the Imperial Master to forgive her."
Seeing Su Zixuan's disgusted look, his friend knew that he couldn't talk about Gu Chang'an anymore, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.
But Su Zixuan didn't look as relaxed as before, and his eyes always glanced at the closed wooden window inadvertently.
In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, it's unknown how many people gathered outside. Anyway, once the door was closed, the people inside didn't know what was going on outside, but even so, one could still get a glimpse of it from the noisy and lively sounds.
Feng Ya couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed someone who came back from outside and asked in the front hall: "Has the woman outside left? Why is it still so noisy?"
The boy touched his head and was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was asking Gu Changan. He shook his head and said, "I haven't left yet. I've been kneeling outside."
"Damn it, why haven't you left yet? Does she really want to kneel down until she grows old?!" Feng Ya glanced at the closed door and suddenly became angry.
The boy couldn't reply, so he only talked about the situation outside, "Master Feng, people are crowded outside now. I just came back and could only go through the back door. If this continues, I'm afraid the whole city will know about it."
Feng Ya became even more angry, "Did this woman do it on purpose? Does she think that she can force our Imperial Master's Office to let Liu Weiqing go? Impossible!"
The boy remained silent, he didn't want to get into trouble at this moment.
Feng Ya paced back and forth, spinning in circles in annoyance, thinking about how to drive away the woman outside.
"Fengya, what's wrong?"
From the other side, a white figure appeared in the corridor.
When Feng Ya saw him, he was startled and said quickly: "It's okay."
Yun Heng glanced outside, "Then why is it so noisy? What happened?"
"Sir, nothing happened." Feng Ya didn't want Yun Heng to know that Gu Changan was kneeling outside.
"Wind Cliff."
Yun Heng's voice was a little louder.
His gaze swept over, and Feng Ya was immediately frightened, not daring to hide anything, "It's just...it's just outside, Gu Changan is kneeling."
Yun Heng was stunned, "What, she's kneeling outside?"
"She came here yesterday. I clearly threatened her not to come again, but she still dared to come today. Forget it, she even knelt down in front of our Imperial Master's Mansion. Didn't she just want to
The matter has become so big that everyone in the capital thinks that our Imperial Prefect is bullying the weak!"
After Feng Ya said this in a crackling voice, he quietly went to observe Yun Heng's reaction.
Yesterday, the Lord specially asked his junior sister to help Gu Changan. He was really worried that the Lord would still be soft on Gu Changan.
But after hearing this, Yun Heng had no reaction, "Then let her kneel down."
Feng Ya hurriedly agreed, feeling a little glad that the master was not as soft-hearted as yesterday.
Yun Heng left from the other end of the corridor, and after walking a few steps, he was stopped by someone, "Hey, you really don't care about your apprentice? I'm telling you, your apprentice can't sustain the injuries."
Keep kneeling outside."
Yun Heng glanced next to him. The female doctor from yesterday was leaning on a pillar and looking at him with a half-smile.
When he didn't say anything, the female doctor continued: "And look at the weather, it's so bad. It's going to rain soon."
Yun Heng still had no reaction.
Seeing that she was playing the harp to a cow, the female doctor snorted and turned away.
After she left, suddenly, there were ripples on the lake next to the corridor.
Just a drop of rain falling from the sky and falling into the lake.
Immediately afterwards, the patter of rain was like jade beads rolling down from a jade plate, one after another, becoming more and more majestic.
Yun Heng finally looked in the direction of the door.
