Seeing Gu Qing hiding from him like this, Gu Zuoyan's expression...
Chen Zhizhou raised his big hand and gently stroked the cheek of the person in front of him: "Madam, you still say you don't miss me?"
This guy is really not a decent person. Gu Qing lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, then pushed his big hand aside: "In broad daylight, you are behaving like this, if someone saw you--"
"What if someone sees it? I didn't do anything, so why should I be treated like a playboy?" There was a strange light flashing in Chen Zhizhou's narrow and long phoenix eyes.
When the two looked into each other's eyes, they were very close to each other.
Chen Zhizhou put his arm around the slender waist, shortening the distance between them.
Gu Qing looked around at a loss. She wanted to break free from this strong embrace, but her strength was no match for Chen Zhizhou's.
It's only been a few days since we last met. I don't know if it's because he didn't get enough rest from the bumpy journey, but that handsome face looks even more depressed, and his clear jawline is even more dramatic.
He leaned over and gently placed his hands on the shoulders of the person in his arms, rubbing his chin against the slender, white swan neck.
Gu Qing was startled. She could clearly feel the warm breath of the man beside her...
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang.
The wooden door was pushed open by someone's hand.
The man who was just leaning against Gu Qing suddenly raised his fierce eyes, his expression changed, and became more solemn.
After experiencing all kinds of things in her previous life, Gu Qing's temperament has long become not to be frightened. If there is any slight disturbance, she will be frightened!
If the sky had not fallen, under normal circumstances, even if the servants in the mansion had ten times the courage, they would never dare to break into their bedroom like this.
Who would have thought——
Gu Qing raised her eyes, and when she met those cruel old eyes, she almost fainted.
Old Madam Chen put one hand on her waist, acting like a fierce woman. She pointed at Gu Qing's nose and cursed angrily, "You, you... you are really unreasonable. You are a young lady from a noble family. In broad daylight, you actually use such seductive tactics on your own husband. If this matter gets out, how can the Chen family maintain its reputation!"
she……
Gu Qing frowned slightly. This was a huge misunderstanding.
"Grandma, Qing'er knows he was wrong!" Gu Qing also didn't want to upset the old lady.
Furthermore, even if they were married, no matter how close the relationship between the couple was, it was indeed inappropriate for them to behave like they did today.
The more powerful and influential a family is, the more rules they have.
The powerful ministers are like this, and the rules of the royal family are even more terrifying. They are bound by rules and etiquette, just like a set of invisible shackles that tie people up.
If it were someone else, Gu Qing would have fought back without hesitation, but the person in front of her was the grandmother who loved Chen Zhizhou the most. She also knew that the old lady was just a little old-fashioned, but she had a good heart.
"What can I say? You rush back to the courtyard as soon as you get home. You are a grown man, and it is time for you to serve your country. Why do you spend the whole day indulging in your daughter's fragrance? Is this what the Chen family's ancestral precepts taught you?" Old Lady Chen roared in anger, looking Gu Qing up and down as she spoke.
The old lady's sharp eyes seemed to indicate that she already knew everything.
Chen Zhizhou lowered his head, sighed deeply, and explained in a gentle voice, "Grandmother, there's no need to blame Qing'er like this. Today, it was my grandson who overstepped the boundaries. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."
It's a good thing that he is so responsible, but it's a pity that -
Chen Zhizhou's advice did not dispel the old lady's anger, but made her even angrier!
Following behind, Chen's mother rushed over after hearing the commotion. Seeing such a big commotion in their courtyard, she hurriedly stepped forward and took the old lady's arm, whispering, "Mother, Zhou'er is young and energetic. The young couple haven't seen each other for a long time. It's normal for them to greet each other here..."
"It is because of a mother-in-law like you that your daughter-in-law has no control over her. If this family is handed over to you and you continue to manage it for a few more days, the Chen family will fall apart!" The old lady roared in frustration.
This was the first time in Gu Qing's life that he was being scolded here in such a humiliating manner.
Her face was dry...
I wish I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
In order to uphold the family tradition, Old Lady Chen asked Chen Zhizhou to pack up his belongings and move into the study!
This is not the end, Gu Qing must be punished by copying the female ring a hundred times...
Chen's mother just said a few words to help Gu Qing, and was directly punished to kneel and burn incense in front of the Chen family's tablet.
The second and third wives who mocked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not gain any benefits.
In addition to copying the family rules, the two aunts also had to go to the Chen family ancestral hall every day to recite scriptures and forgive sins. This punishment lasted for a hundred days.
The entire Chen family mansion was filled with a dead atmosphere, and the private laughter and joy of the maids and servants in the past were no longer heard.
Qiu Rong was quite dissatisfied. While returning to settle the bill, she muttered a few words: "Young Lady has never been treated so harshly at home. It's obviously the Third Young Master... He is so good, hiding in the study, forcing Young Lady to copy the women's ring every day. It's really..."
"Okay, if you really want to do this for your young lady's sake, just say less. How are you doing with what I asked you to do?" Gu Qing raised his red eyes and glanced at Qiu Rong while grinding casually.
Qiu Rong glanced around and saw that no one was around, so she hurried over and said, "I found it. The person I'm looking for this time has the same handwriting as Pei'er's. Even if Pei'er looked at it himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tell it apart."
It's settled.
"There is one more thing, come here--" Gu Qing called Qiu Rong to his side.
She asked Qiu Rong to spread the news outside in the next few days, preferably to find some country people to first pass the news outside the capital, and then have someone pass it in.
This way, it appears more credible.
The Dust-Repelling Pearl is just a cover, and the matter of Qingguo Temple is her real purpose.
How Gu's father rose to prominence in the past, and when he led his troops to encircle and capture the previous left prime minister, it was at Qingguo Temple.
When the old emperor ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, and the old prime minister happened to be corrupt and accepting bribes...
There were rumors among the people that the Gu family had taken a lot of gold, silver and treasures.
However, Gu Qing never knew the truth about this matter, but she knew one thing!
There is also a rumor that the treasure map left by the remnants of the previous dynasty is also in the hands of the old prime minister. Unfortunately, the old prime minister committed suicide by taking poison that day, and no one knows the whereabouts of the dragon vein to this day.
Rumors one after another...
Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you laughing at? Could it be that the accounts I made this time are not good?" Qiu Rong asked cautiously.
