Chapter 151 Getting what you want
Bichi Pavilion.
When Zhao Qingwan saw Qiuyue touching the clothes in front of her, she looked dazed.
"This is..."
Qiuyue couldn't hide her excitement, "This was sent by the old lady, saying it will help the young lady get what she wanted."
Got what you wanted?
Could that old guy from Shoukangtang be so nice?
Zhao Qingwan looked inquiring.
When she saw the clothes underneath, which were even more lewd than those worn by a brothel.
Her face immediately turned red and she turned away, not daring to look again.
"What does that mean, Grandmother? What does she take me for?"
Qiyue bit her lip, stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, maybe the old lady has already known what Aunt Qin is planning for you, and..."
After taking a look at the surroundings and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Qiuyue whispered in Zhao Qingwan's ear, "I have heard before that before Cuihong Garden was burned down, there was a period of time when Young Master Gu spent several nights there, and he ordered the Twelve Golden Flowers of Cuihong Garden. The style of this dress is somewhat similar..."
Zhao Qingwan gave Qiuyue a meaningful look and said, "You know a lot."
Qiuyue's humble expression did not change at all. "Since I follow you, I naturally hope that one day, you will get what you want, and I can also benefit from it."
Zhao Qingwan looked at Qiuyue for a long time and found that the latter, apart from still having the lowly look of a slave, did not even have the courage to peek at her.
Maybe, I really think too much.
Turn your attention back to the pile of "indecent" clothes.
Thinking that Su Xinhe had left Qiongchi Tower early in the morning today, a hint of desperation flashed in her eyes: Forget it, since she even planned to use the medicine on Gu Xiuyan, she didn't mind putting on her clothes.
Today, the Changping Marquis' Mansion is far inferior to before. If Liang really dares to make any plans at this critical juncture, in the end, it will only shoot itself in the foot.
After changing her clothes and dressing up, Zhao Qingwan, supported by Qiuyue, went out gracefully.
In an inconspicuous corner of Cuihe Garden, a servant ran all the way to the front yard after seeing Zhao Qingwan leaving Cuihe Garden.
...
Because a victim who was wrongly convicted sounded the drum to report a case, several other cases of wrongful convictions were implicated. Gu Xiuyan, the presiding judge, was caught up in public opinion. The news reached the ears of the emperor, who ordered him to reflect on his mistakes in his palace.
In an instant, his career, which should have been bright, was greatly affected.
Duke Gu’s Mansion.
The whole mansion was in silence.
Old Madam Gu sat at the top with a cold look on her face.
Gu Xiuyan pursed his lips and lowered his head and stood below.
His hands at his sides were clenched into fists, as if waiting for Madam Gu's ultimatum.
"What is going on? If the emperor's order had not been passed to your residence, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"
Because she was angry, Madam Gu slammed the dragon-headed cane in her hand heavily on the ground while speaking.
"This was an accident. Someone was targeting us on purpose." Gu Xiuyan squeezed out these words hoarsely.
Seeing that Madam Gu's expression didn't relax at all, he lowered his head even more. "To be able to find the person from before in a short time, this person hiding in the dark is not simple."
"I don't care whether you are simple or not. This is a mistake you made before. Now it has been dug up and the other party has already reported it to the police. You can't just sit there and wait for death."
"Grandson knows." Gu Xiuyan readily followed suit.
Old Madam Gu looked at her grandson who didn't respond to her scolding with complicated eyes.
After waiting for a long time for his grandmother to continue speaking, Gu Xiuyan raised his eyes.
Just in time to meet Madam Gu's worried eyes, he lowered his head again.
"It's the grandson's fault that he made his grandmother worry."
Madam Gu sighed, "Yan'er, you are the only child of Duke Gu's family, and the hope of our entire Gu family. Grandmother doesn't want you to ruin your life because of a romantic relationship."
"Before, you were impulsive. Now it seems that the value of the second branch of the Changping Marquis's Mansion is much greater than we imagined."
Gu Xiuyan lowered his head and said nothing.
There was a glimmer of disappointment in Mrs. Gu's eyes.
"I, an old man, will have to reunite with your grandfather sooner or later, and I can't take care of you for too long. If you still insist on being stubborn and want to bury the entire Duke Gu's Mansion for your own selfish reasons, I will accept it."
That's too serious.
Gu Xiuyan knelt heavily on the ground.
"Yan'er knows his mistake, I hope grandma won't get so angry that she gets sick."
And kneel down.
It means you are not that stupid.
Madam Gu nodded comfortably, then stood up and left with the help of the old nanny.
When she passed by Gu Xiuyan, she stopped and said, "Use some means to bring back Su Kang's daughter. Those who beat the drum for the news should do it cleanly."
"Yes."
Gu Xiuyan remained kneeling there until Old Madam Gu had walked a long way away.
Cong Hui walked into the room and carefully helped Gu Xiuyan up.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
Where was the trace of regret in Gu Xiuyan's eyes?
At this moment, his eyes were cold and his gaze was focused on the void.
Without any hesitation, Gu Xiuyan said what he was thinking, "It was the work of Dingbei Palace."
He was able to obtain such detailed intelligence on the entire Luojing, and calculated the timing so accurately. Just in the short time when he was away from Luojing, someone took advantage of it. It was obviously premeditated.
Apart from the Dingbei Palace, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
However, no matter what aspect, Duke Gu's Mansion could not offend Dingbei Palace. If Dingbei Palace rashly attacked him...
Why?
Gu Xiuyan frowned.
Just then, the doorman came to report.
"Young Master, there is a girl outside who claims to be your childhood acquaintance and wants to see you."
A girl from outside?
An old childhood acquaintance?
"not see."
Gu Xiuyan didn't hesitate at all.
"The other party said her last name is Zhao, and she knows a way to help you and Miss Su resolve the misunderstanding."
Zhao?
Clear up the misunderstanding with Miss Su?
Gu Xiuyan changed his mind.
"Let her in."
Not long after.
Zhao Qingwan came slowly under the guidance of her servants.
The plain clothes made her look elegant and fairy-like.
Every move seemed to be carefully designed, and just standing there was as beautiful as a painting.
Putting aside the fact that Zhao Qingwan pretended to be Su Sui'an, her own beauty was not much inferior to Su Sui'an.
After secretly seeing "Su Xinhe" meeting Gu Xiuyan and knowing that Gu Xiuyan only wanted to rekindle his past relationship with Su Sui'an, she found such an excuse to find Gu Xiuyan.
If for no other reason, just to take down Gu Xiuyan in one fell swoop.
As long as their affair becomes serious enough, Gu Xiuyan will never be able to get rid of her.
Walking through the corridors and past several pavilions, Zhao Qingwan looked at Duke Gu's Mansion with more and more excitement and greed.
