Chapter 351 I won't lie to you anymore
Gu Xixi didn't want to recall the series of events that were triggered by Dou Rongshan's intrusion into the carriage.
Especially Mu Nanzhao.
Thinking of this, Gu Xixi couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart and a headache.
She stripped him of his clothes, looked at him, and touched him. She was afraid that the more she talked, the more confusing it would become.
Since Mu Nanzhao doesn't mention it anymore, why not turn the page and move on?
So, Gu Xixi sat up straight, smiled and looked directly at Mu Nanzhao, "Yes, I almost forgot about him, so go on."
Yes, that's it, as natural as if nothing had happened.
How could Mu Nanzhao not guess Gu Xixi's little thoughts?
But now, he is not in a hurry.
Speaking of which, we should also thank Dou Rongshan.
If it weren't for Dou Rongsan's fuss, he didn't know when he would be able to see some sincerity from Gu Xixi.
This was the first time that Gu Xixi admitted that they had a close relationship.
Whether she was really jealous or just couldn't stand Dou Rongshan's arrogance and deliberately acted to teach her a lesson.
For Mu Nanzhao, the result is always satisfactory.
At this moment, his heart seemed to be filled with a ball of spring water, soft, long-lasting and warm.
As a result, he seemed a lot more approachable than usual.
"Jingdong is indeed mine."
"But to be honest, I didn't do him any favors. His family was just one of the evil deeds committed by the late Queen Mother and her gang in Jiangnan."
Gu Xixi asked, "Is he loyal to you because he wants to repay you for this?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "It should be more than that. In the end, I let him kill his direct enemy with his own hands."
"It's a pity that he had already been imprisoned in the inner court because of his family's crime. His body was damaged and his family was separated, which is difficult to make up for."
Gu Xixi said, "Now that his injustice has been redressed, has he ever thought about leaving the palace?"
Mu Nanzhao sighed, "I gave him a chance. I tried my best to take back 30% of his family's original assets and returned them all to him."
"He can't stand the strange looks from the world. I can help him hide his identity and go somewhere else. He can also ensure his safety by selling his property."
“But he refused.”
Gu Xixi understood, "He wants to repay you in his own way."
Mu Nanzhao glanced at her and said, "Don't look at him like that. He is the only one left by his godfather who is still working in the Imperial Study. This shows how smart he is."
Gu Xixi sighed, "Perhaps the world outside is so big, and everything he cares about is gone. Only his loyalty to you is left to keep him going."
Mu Nanzhao said, "You seem to feel the same way."
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Just a guess."
After she entered the book, she felt that she had lost everything, and the only task left was to "escape the fate of being a supporting actress."
But slowly, Aunt Zhang, Master, Shitou, Aunt Qin, Village Chief Qian, He Jinglan...
More and more people are participating in Gu Xixi's life.
Reconstruct a new little world around her.
And the man in front of me...
For the first time, Gu Xixi thought that she was actually lucky.
At this moment, Mu Nanzhao suddenly turned around with a serious look.
"From now on, you won't have to guess about anything with me."
"Ask whatever you want to know."
Gu Xixi looked into his eyes. There seemed to be an invisible whirlpool in them that was going to suck her in and make her drown in it.
She couldn't help but become serious, but in a joking tone, "What if what I want to know is related to the state secrets, and I want you, the regent, to break the principles?"
Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "First, you are smart and cherish your life, and you only love farming. If it is the kind of secret you said, not only will you not take the initiative to approach, but you will also be afraid that you will be too slow to hide."
“It’s really troublesome.”
In the last sentence, he was imitating Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi chuckled, "And then, what's the second one?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "Secondly, even if you ask, I will tell you the reason why I can't tell you and I will never lie to you."
When their eyes met, Gu Xixi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned her head to look outside.
During this process, He Jinglan kept hiding in the corner, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
She stared with excitement, not daring to blink, and occasionally she covered her mouth and laughed to herself.
So sweet!
Outside the Juxian Building.
When getting off the car, Gu Xixi immediately stopped talking and intentionally distanced herself from Mu Nanzhao.
Zi Yan and Lu La, who were sitting in a carriage at the back, came over to serve.
Lu La reached out and supported Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi was still a little uncomfortable, and only heard He Jinglan whisper, "Just let Green Wax follow you."
"Looking at your outfit today, others will only think of you as my family's relatives and sisters, and won't think of anything else."
As he said this, he glanced towards Mu Nanzhao meaningfully.
Gu Xixi understood and decided to pretend that she was a lady from ancient times.
However, with Mu Nanzhao's hearing ability, he naturally heard it.
He stepped into the main door of Juxian Building first and said to the waiter who greeted him:
"On the second floor, the private room reserved by Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue, three persons."
People in the big restaurants in the capital are already accustomed to seeing officials of all ranks.
Even though Mu Nanzhao rarely socializes, he doesn't often attend occasions like this.
The waiter only took one look and recognized it, "Yes! Yes!"
"Minister He has just gone up, I will lead the way for you!"
When going upstairs, the waiter tactfully kept a distance in front to make it easier for the guests to chat.
He Jinglan asked Mu Nanzhao in surprise, "My brother is here too?"
Mu Nanzhao looked straight ahead and said, "I had someone inform him when I left the palace."
"If I were alone with two girls, it would be bad for my reputation."
He Jinglan was displeased, "Please explain clearly, is it your reputation or our reputation?"
Mu Nanzhao remained silent.
Gu Xixi smiled and pressed He Jinglan, "No matter whose it is, the effect is the same anyway."
He Jinghui was already waiting in the private room.
Seeing Mu Nanzhao coming in, she complained, "I'm so busy that I can't catch my breath. You asked someone to call me here. Can't we talk at home tonight?"
Mu Nanzhao stepped over the threshold and said, "I don't have anything to say, I just want to eat the glazed pigeon."
"You!" He Jinghui was furious, but turned his head and saw the two girls following behind him.
His expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright.
The menu was quickly taken and the waiter went out and closed the door.
The elegant rooms in Juxian Building are extremely soundproof, and the green bamboo screens covering the doors and windows are all specially made.
What was happening inside the private room could neither be seen nor heard from outside.
He Jinghui was reporting the situation to Gu Xixi, "The insecticide has already started to be produced. Each county will make its own decision. Once enough is collected, it will be distributed immediately."
"Based on the current progress, all other counties in Gyeonggi Province will be fully distributed within three days at most,"
Gu Xixi said with a smile, "With Lord He leading the Ministry of Revenue, the efficiency is higher than I thought."
He Jinghui was very pleased with the compliment and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go to Xianguo Village, where the locusts were first discovered, and help the villagers to spray pesticides."
"Boss Gu, is it convenient for you to go with me?"
Mu Nanzhao said unhappily, "You are the Ministry of Revenue, you receive salaries from the imperial court, don't always think of assigning tasks to irrelevant people."
He Jinghui responded with a meaningful smile, meaning: Oh, oh, you feel heartbroken already?
