Chu Qianlan was completely shocked!
Ignoring the fact that the Emperor had not yet told them to get up, they suddenly raised their heads and looked directly in Gu Jingchun's direction.
How is that possible?
Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian?
The Luo family?
Is it the Luo family of the Minister's residence?
How could that girl have any connection with the Luo family?
Why would the Emperor bestow a marriage upon the two of them without any reason?
Chu Qianlan couldn't understand it at all.
His gaze unconsciously fell on Emperor Rongcheng, but he didn't expect to meet Emperor Rongcheng's gloomy eyes.
She immediately snapped to attention, lowered her head, and stopped looking.
The Empress Dowager could only sigh softly upon seeing this.
She couldn't help but look at Emperor Rongcheng. The two exchanged a knowing glance, both understanding that from this day forward, the former glory of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion would be gone.
She also looked at Gu Jingchun, her gaze lingering between her and Chu Qianlan.
Having spent many years immersed in the palace, her methods might fool others, but they couldn't fool her eyes.
She was simply curious how Gu Jingchun, a woman who grew up in the countryside, could be so meticulous and adept at handling situations.
She didn't know whether Gu Jingchun was involved in this sudden arranged marriage.
If so, then it's clear that this woman's cunning is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Because she had clearly taken into account the reactions of Emperor Rongcheng and herself, the old woman.
The Empress Dowager, who came from a military background and had led troops in battle for many years, had always disliked delicate and pretentious women.
She admires strong people.
I admire those who know their purpose, work hard to plan for it, and ultimately achieve their goals.
From the first moment she saw Gu Jingchun, she knew that this woman was shrewd and calculating. Now that she knew about her methods, her affection for her grew even stronger.
It's just a pity.
If it weren't for the fact that she has a child, such an intelligent woman could be introduced to Shen Hechuan.
Emperor Rongcheng did not stay in Shou Kang Palace for long after issuing the imperial edict.
He exchanged a few more greetings with the Empress Dowager, and then hurriedly left with Luo Kejin and Situ Qinghe.
Meanwhile, in the Ya Yun Garden of the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
The once well-arranged and secluded courtyard was now filled with many people lying haphazardly.
They were all clutching their stomachs or hugging their legs, groaning incessantly.
Gu Jinxi sat among these people, somewhat annoyed, and sighed helplessly.
"Why!"
"Shut up, don't make a sound!"
The moment the child's innocent voice rang out, everyone present fell silent, staring in horror at the little boy before them.
I was afraid of upsetting him again and getting another beating from him.
Today, after Chu Qianlan and Gu Jingchun left, they, led by the butler, forcibly broke into the courtyard, intending to take Gu Jinxi away.
However, they never expected that after kicking open the door and pulling the child out of bed, they would be met with a pair of icy eyes.
None of them expected to see such a look in the eyes of a chubby little child.
They were only surprised for a moment, and before they knew it, the child had broken the arm he was holding.
Yes.
It was held gently by the child, and then broken off effortlessly.
Moreover, after landing on the ground, the child actually slowly put on his clothes.
As he put on his clothes, he kicked away the men who were trying to arrest him.
Despite being such a small person, he kicked with perfect accuracy, sending the person flying three zhang (approximately 10 meters) away with each kick!
Only then did everyone realize something was wrong. They all watched in horror as he finished dressing, and no one dared to step forward again.
After getting dressed, Gu Jinxi slowly washed up and ate breakfast.
He and the rather thin maid beside him remained calm and composed, as if they hadn't even seen them.
Finally, he picked up the book and prepared to read it.
At this point, some people couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed sticks, ready to rush over.
But before he could rush forward, the thin maidservant grabbed the stick and threw it aside.
After completing these actions, she gently said to Gu Jinxi:
"Young master, Miss said that the best time to remember things is when you wake up in the morning, so you must read more useful books. As for these storybooks, I will put them away for you and you can read them when you have free time."
Gu Jinxi nodded obediently upon hearing this, but her little face pouted, clearly unhappy.
Seeing this, Xiaoman added another sentence.
"However, after Miss left, she gave me a bag of malt sugar and said that if you finish reading all these books, I will reward you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi immediately looked up happily, her round, dark eyes brightening instantly.
Meanwhile, the man who had been casually thrown onto the stick was still in shock.
Because the two people present were so calm.
It should be noted that his kung fu skills were among the best in the guards, and because of his great strength, he was chosen as the leader of the guards.
That blow he just delivered would be unbearable even for an ordinary man, let alone a frail woman like her.
But the woman simply took it and then threw it away?!
The light, effortless force made him doubt whether he had used any strength at all.
Seeing the two of them talking as if no one else was around, he couldn't hold back any longer and punched them again.
This time, the woman finally responded.
She placed her slender, thin hand on his large hand, and with a gentle twist, her body spun uncontrollably and she fell out.
"Get them all out."
Gu Jinxi spoke, climbed down from the chair, and then walked over to Xiaoman with her short, chubby legs.
"Get everyone out of here. Don't mess up my study, or Mother will be angry."
Xiaoman was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.
"Young Master, are you going to make a move?"
"Um."
“They disturbed my rest this morning, making me sleep half an hour less. I’m going to settle this score with them personally.”
After saying that, Xiaoman looked at these people with some sympathy.
Many of them had never seen Gu Jinxi before, and were still a little confused when Xiaoman kicked her into the yard in a few quick moves.
Gu Jinxi, with her short legs, stood between them and reached out her hand.
"Are you coming one by one, or all at once?"
After saying that, he kindly offered a suggestion.
"I suggest you do it one at a time, because if you do it all at once, I might not be able to control my strength. If you hurt someone badly, don't blame me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler, who had just arrived because of a stomachache, shouted.
"What are you standing there for? You can't even catch a child, why aren't you doing anything?"
As they spoke, everyone present rushed toward Gu Jinxi.
