Gu Junyue looked at Gu Yunru with a gentle smile on her face, but the look in Gu Yunru's eyes seemed a bit malicious. She was just pretending in front of Cheng Shaoyuan, not wanting Cheng Shaoyuan to think that she was a narrow-minded and jealous woman.
"Now that my sister is here, it's a good opportunity for us to sit down and eat together as a family." Gu Junru didn't want to appear stingy, so she enthusiastically pulled the two of them to sit at the table and eat together. Rong Zhen had no objection, so Gu Junyue put her arm around his and sat in front of the two of them.
"I heard my husband often mention my sister. The recent events really made me feel scared. I don't know how the whereabouts of the murderer are being tracked down." After saying this, he shifted the topic to Keren Pavilion and looked at Cheng Shaoyuan beside him.
"Princess, your Highness, don't worry. We are already looking for the murderer. We will be able to bring the suspect to you two within three days."
Cheng Shaoyuan spoke with a firm tone, looking confident.
"There's no rush for this. Just do your best, Master Cheng."
Gu Yunru said gently, looking at Cheng Shaoyuan who was avoiding her gaze as if he was feeling unnatural.
"I didn't expect that my elder sister has recently started to do business in public. I, her younger sister, actually knew nothing about it. It must be that the prince is so magnanimous that he actually allowed a woman to do business in public."
Gu Junyue's words seemed to be a veiled sarcasm. On the surface, she envied Rong Zhen's magnanimity for allowing the woman next to him to go out in public to do business. However, everyone knew that in Da Qi, any man who could let a woman go out in public to do business was not a good man.
I thought that Gu Junyue's words would make Rong Zhen very embarrassed, almost to the point of being ashamed, but I didn't expect him to look up at Gu Junyue calmly and said, "I just want my woman to do whatever she wants, not like a bird imprisoned in a cage, unable to go out anywhere except the yard."
Such a short sentence made Gu Junyue look a little embarrassed.
"Well, Jun Yue, today is your birthday, why don't you invite the prince and princess to your house for a gathering."
Cheng Shaoyuan interrupted their conversation and sincerely invited them to his house to celebrate for Gu Junyue, but he didn't expect Rong Zhen to refuse.
"No need, we have other things to do. I will send someone to deliver the birthday gift to your house."
"Goodbye."
Rong Zhen's eyes revealed a hint of deepness. After saying goodbye to the two, he took Gu Junru out of their sight. Cheng Shaoyuan's eyes were a little lonely. Gu Junyue saw it at a glance and snorted, "You don't still have feelings for your sister now, do you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is the high and mighty Princess Zhao, how can I covet her?" Cheng Shaoyuan quickly rejected her words, his eyes showing some displeasure. Gu Junyue smiled coldly, stood up and said, "Your eyes betrayed you just now, no wonder Rong Zhen's face was not in a good mood."
"That's enough, stop! Aren't you embarrassed enough?" This was the first time Cheng Shaoyuan had used such sharp and cold words to slap her in the face. Gu Junyue felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She grabbed his arm fiercely, stared at him and said, "We have been married for so long, but you have never said anything for me. Are you showing your true colors today?"
"madman!"
Cheng Shaoyuan really couldn't understand her. He just wanted to leave here quickly and didn't want to become a laughing stock. Gu Junyue overturned the table fiercely, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
After returning to the palace, Gu Yunru asked the people in the palace to hurry up and make more fire extinguishers to send to the people in the government office. However, this time, there would be some cost and labor fees for the fire extinguishers, which would also allow the servants in the palace to earn some extra money. Everyone worshipped Gu Yun and admired him very much.
"Princess, the arsonist has been caught. He is a servant from the Xie mansion." Qingfeng got the news and immediately told Gu Yunru the news. Gu Yunru's eyes rolled around. It seemed that it was exactly as she imagined. This Xie Changyong was indeed a dog that could not change its nature. He had been secretly plotting how to ruin her business.
"How dare you, Xie Changyong, to sabotage me! Did that guy confess who ordered him to do that?"
If this guy confesses that it is Xie Changyong, the incident can be made even bigger. I'm afraid that Xie Changyong has caught that guy with some evidence.
"It has been confessed and he will go to court tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'd like to see what excuses Xie Changyong will find for himself this time." Gu Yunru narrowed her beautiful eyes, thinking about Xie Changyong and how she should defend herself in the lobby.
The scene changed, and Kodar's army began to move into the city. He sent a secret report to Rong Zhen's house. He had always remembered what Rong Zhen had promised him before, but he didn't know whether Rong Zhen, who was forgetful, had forgotten the agreement between them.
That night, when Rong Zhen saw the secret report, his hands shook inadvertently. Qingfeng, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with the prince's expression, walked up to him, frowned, and said, "Prince, what's wrong? Is this a letter from the Buyi tribe?"
"No... it's Kedar." Rong Zhen thought for a while and actually forgot about this key person. According to the agreement between the two, he had to send troops to assist Kedar in the attack. If that didn't work, then...

"Your Highness, what else does the letter say?" It was the first time that Qingfeng saw the prince's face look so uneasy. Even when he was standing on the battlefield, he had never felt so worried.
"He said... he would send his wife to stay in the mansion for a few days tomorrow."
"When did Kodar get married?"
Qingfeng also knew about Kodar. He was extremely violent by nature and brave but not wise. That was why he wanted to rely on Rong Zhen and let Rong Zhen help him accomplish his great cause.
"This is also confusing to me. According to the letter, his wife is also from the Central Plains and is used to the food of the Central Plains, so she wants to stay in the mansion for a while." Rong Zhen said the letter word for word. Qingfeng frowned more and more. What tricks did this Kodar want to play? The next morning, Gu Yunru and Qingxing rushed to the government office in advance. When the magistrate saw the princess coming, he specially moved a small stool for her to sit beside him and listen in. She wanted to see how these people tried the arsonist.
"Bring up the murderer!"
As soon as the gavel fell, an ordinary-looking, slovenly man with bare ankles was dragged in by two clerks. The man looked a little sneaky and was covered in dirt.
"What's your name?" The adult asked as a formality. The man quietly raised his eyes and looked around. Wasn't he interrogated yesterday? Why did he have to be interrogated again today? So he had to bow his head and answer honestly, "My name is Hu Tu."
