"Follow me to see the Sixth Young Master."
Gu Jiu hesitated for only a moment before making a decision.
Since she was already involved in this matter, she would not allow things to develop in the worst direction.
At this point, there is still time.
No matter how big the conflict between Gu Jiu and Xie is, outside, they are all members of the Gu family.
If this matter is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Gu Jiu and Xie cannot prosper together, but they will definitely suffer together.
Gu Jiu would never allow Xie to ruin the reputation of the Gu family for his own selfish interests and put the entire Gu family in danger.
After all, not everyone can withstand the anger of Pei Ren, the Marquis of Lu.
With the strength of Lu Hou Pei Ren and his connections in the court, he wants to attack the Gu family. Gu Jiu doubts whether the Gu family has the ability to fight back?
By then, I'm afraid that even the Gu family next door in the capital, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, will abandon their branch.
Gu Jiu walked towards the courtyard gate with a gloomy face, secretly cursing the foolish woman Xie for being so stupid.
She even dared to plot against the daughter of Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu. She really doesn't know how to write the word death.
Believe it or not, Pei Yun was really slept with, and Lu Hou Pei Ren led his troops to destroy the entire governor's mansion in a matter of minutes.
Judging from the past behavior of Pei Ren, the Marquis of Lu, he is definitely capable of doing this.
At worst, I can go to the emperor and apologize afterwards, saying that it was an impulsive act.
For the sake of the northwest military, the emperor would certainly not really punish Pei Ren, the Marquis of Lu. At most, he would give him a light punishment and a severe warning.
As for the hundreds of people in the governor's mansion who were wiped out, others could only say that they deserved it.
Gu Jiu hadn’t lived enough, so of course he didn’t want to die, and he certainly didn’t want to be buried with Xie.
Xie was such a smart person, but what was wrong with her brain that she was so possessed by an evil spirit that she sent someone to drug Pei Yun and let Gu Cheng sleep with Pei Yun, thus making the matter a fait accompli.
stupid!
Stupid to the extreme.
Who gave Xie the courage to think that she could easily calm the anger of Lu Hou Pei Ren afterwards?
Do you really think that a general who leads hundreds of thousands of troops, kills people like flies, and earns military merit by killing people, will talk nonsense with you like a civilian?
Before you have time to talk nonsense, your entire family has already been destroyed.
The more Gu Jiu thought about it, the angrier she became. She was almost crying because of Xie's stupidity.
That’s right, in connection with the mysterious whereabouts of Nanny Ping, Gu Jiu can be sure that the person who plotted against Pei Yun is Xie.
This stupid woman will kill hundreds of people in the Gu family.
…
Gu Cheng stood at the intersection, looking at the courtyard at the end of the road, hesitating to move forward.
His eyes were confused and he wanted to leave, but when he thought of what Nanny Ping had said, he finally clenched his fists, took a step forward, and walked towards the courtyard with a determined look.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened from the outside.
Gu Yan stopped and looked at Gu Jiu who walked out of the courtyard gate in surprise.
"What a coincidence, Sixth Brother is here too."
Gu Jiu smiled slightly and walked straight towards Gu Yan.
Gu Cheng looked at Gu Jiu, then at the courtyard behind her, "Why is my second sister here?"
Gu Jiu casually said, "I was tired after walking around the garden, so I just found a place to rest. I saw that there was no one inside, so I went in to rest for a while. I heard from the maid that Sixth Brother had arrived, so I came out to see him."
Gu Yan was a little nervous and felt a little guilty.
He looked at the yard behind Gu Jiu and asked calmly, "Is there no one inside?"
Gu Jiu followed his gaze, looked back at the courtyard gate, nodded and said, "Yes, there is no one inside. Did Sixth Brother see someone go in? Qingzhu, didn't I ask you to guard the gate? Didn't you see someone go in?"
Qingzhu shook her head repeatedly, "My dear lady, I have been guarding the gate the entire time and have not seen anyone come in. Could it be that the Sixth Young Master is mistaken?"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Cheng, "Sixth brother, you heard it too. Qingzhu has been guarding the door the whole time, but he didn't see anyone coming."
Gu Cheng smiled awkwardly, "Maybe I saw it wrong."
"Why did Sixth Brother come to such a remote place? Did he make an appointment with someone?" Gu Jiu asked, pretending to be curious.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I was just taking a walk, I didn't expect to end up here. Second sister, now that you've had enough rest, let's go back to the banquet. After all, this place is too remote."
"Thank you, Sixth Brother." Gu Jiu smiled gently.
Gu Cheng didn't dare look at Gu Jiu's face, and only said: "It's time for me to go back, second sister, please do as you please. By the way, second sister, don't tell anyone that I've been here, just pretend you haven't seen me."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I won't say anything nonsense."
Gu Cheng nodded, "Then, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Gu Yan turned around and left in a hurry.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yan's slightly guilty back and couldn't help but frown.
Qingzhu didn't know the truth yet and simply said, "The Sixth Young Master is out strolling around without even a servant."
Gu Jiu's expression was serious. He said to Qingzhu, "Let's go back. You continue to guard the gate and tell Xiao Cui and Jiang Yan not to say a word about what happened today."
"Girl, what happened?" Qingzhu suddenly became nervous.
Gu Jiu shook his head. "Now is not the time to talk about this. In short, just pretend that the Sixth Young Master has never been here."
"I understand." Qingzhu was not stupid. From Gu Jiu's tone and thinking of the strange whereabouts of Nanny Ping before, she realized the seriousness of the matter.
After returning to the courtyard, Qingzhu quickly closed the gate, stood guard at the door, and observed the movements outside through the crack in the door.
Gu Jiu returned to the bedroom.
Pei Yun just sat up from the bed and was able to move freely.
Qingmei turned around and looked at Gu Jiu with some worry.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly at her, and Qingmei felt relieved immediately.
"Miss Gu, thank you."
Pei Yun was extremely grateful to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Pei. Are you feeling better?"
Pei Yun nodded, "Much better. Miss Gu's method is really effective."
Pei Yun grabbed the bed frame with both hands and looked at Gu Jiu with a sharp gaze, "Miss Gu, you just went out. Is someone here? Could it be the pervert who wanted to kill me? Miss Gu, can you tell me who it is? If I know who is trying to hurt me, I will kill him with a single blow."
Pei Yun's anger was surging, and she made no secret of her determination to kill. Murderous intent practically burst from her eyes.
Gu Jiu looked calm and said in a calm tone, "Miss Pei misunderstood. He wasn't some lecher. It was just a few girls who were tired from strolling around the garden and wanted to come in and rest. I stepped in and sent them away."
"Yeah?"
Pei Yun stared at Gu Jiu, not completely believing it.
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Miss Pei may have heard of my legend. I am the second daughter of the Gu family, and people call me a sickly girl.
Several girls passing by saw me and were afraid that I would pass on my illness to them, so they left before I could finish my words.
Actually, it was thanks to my reputation as a sickly person that I was able to send them away this time."
Pei Yun was obviously relieved.
"Thank you for what happened today, Miss Gu. Please keep this secret for me."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly. "Even if Miss Pei didn't remind me, I would keep my mouth shut. I will also tell the maids around me not to say a single word about what happened today."
"Thank you, Miss Gu."
Pei Yun stood up, faced Gu Jiu, and bowed to express her gratitude.
Gu Jiu quickly stood up and moved away, "Miss Pei, there's no need to do this."
Pei Yun looked at Gu Jiu, sizing him up and down. "Miss Gu, after hearing my last name, may have guessed my identity."
Gu Jiu nodded and asked frankly, "Is Miss Pei a relative of Marquis Lu's mansion?"
Pei Yun smiled and said, "I am indeed a relative of the Marquis of Lu."
Gu Jiu suddenly realized, "No wonder, when I heard your last name was Pei, I wondered if you had any connection with the Marquis of Lu's mansion. Sure enough, it turns out that you two are relatives."
Pei Yun smiled. It was good to be mistaken for a relative of the Marquis of Lu.
As the daughter of the Marquis of Lu, her identity was sensitive and should not be made known to outsiders.
If they are relatives, there will be no such concerns.
Gu Jiu wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he said, "Miss Pei, you are fine now. I have been out for quite a while, it is time to go back to the banquet. Why don't we say goodbye now?"
Pei Yun said, "That's perfect. I want to leave here too. Miss Gu, why don't we leave together?"
Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, "Miss Pei didn't bring her maid, so it's really inconvenient for her to be alone. Then Miss Pei, please follow me, and I will take you to find your maid."
Pei Yun was grateful, "Miss Gu, thank you so much today."
"Miss Pei, you don't have to be polite to me."
Qingmei understood the situation, walked in front and opened the door.
She winked at Xiao Cui and Jiang Yan who were guarding the door.
No matter what you see or hear, pretend that you didn’t see or hear it.
Xiao Cui and Jiang Yan received Qingmei's reminder. They were well-trained and stood at the door with their heads lowered.
Gu Jiu and Pei Yun walked out of the room hand in hand.
When the maids suddenly saw Pei Yun, they were not surprised at all and followed behind him in a well-trained manner.
Pei Yun glanced at the maids. Jiang Yan was so outstanding in appearance that she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
She was a little curious as to why Miss Gu kept such a stunningly beautiful maid by her side.
