Of course Mo Ju and Xinghong would not refute Duan Niang, but Huilan stared at Gu Xiyan thoughtfully for a long time.

Gu Xiyan felt her scorching gaze and smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Huilan smiled and said, "No, nothing happened. I just didn't expect the girl to tell stories so well. I was fascinated by listening to it. I don't know which book the girl saw it. Let me take a look at the introduction!"

Gu Xiyan said vaguely: "It's a story!"

Duan Niang sighed, "The girl keeps serious books and doesn't read them, so she always has these rare and weird things..."

Gu Xiyan was smiling.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and the atmosphere gradually improved, and they all urged Gu Xiyan to tell another story.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan thought for a moment and told everyone a story about the Stories from a Chinese Studio "Xiao Xie". Halfway through the story, the crowd on the street began to stir up. Mo Ju didn't bother to listen to the story, so she quickly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out: "Girl, it's the officers and soldiers who are cleaning up... from the street..."

The atmosphere that was not easy to become active disappeared and everyone fell into silence again.

Gu Xiyan sighed secretly and said to everyone with a smile: "This story is only half told!"

It may also be that the scene was so uncomfortable that everyone subconsciously wanted to avoid it. As soon as Gu Xiyan finished speaking, Xinghong responded first: "That's right, that's right, the girl's story has not been told yet?"

Everyone sat down again, and Gu Xiyan began to tell the remaining half of the story.

But the noise from the soldiers carrying corpses outside got into the carriage with the air holes, and everyone sat upright as if they were stealing their bells.

Just when Gu Xiyan talked about a warm plot, Xinghong cried out with a "wow" and choked up, "Girl, it's so pitiful, I won't even let the child go..."

Duan Niang's eyes turned red and all lowered her heads one after another.

The whitewashed Taiping finally revealed its hideous head.

Gu Xiyan also had Qi Ran in her heart. She hugged the crying Xinghong in her arms, gently patted her back, and began to hum a song: "I saw the flowers blooming in a vague voice singing and it was brighter than the sunlight. What a beautiful little village..."

That is Huang Yali's "By the Butterfly Spring".

The soft voice and cheerful tune gradually soothe everyone's panic, and slowly, everyone calmed down.

At dusk, the direction of Changxingfang began to pass, and the Gu family's carriage slowly began to move forward with the flow of people.

The coachman sat in the high seat and carefully controlled the horse that was a little restless due to long waits.

Finally, they arrived at the carriage in Gu's house for investigation. Gu Xiyan and the others got out of the carriage with their hats. The serious non-commissioned officer reached into their heads and looked at them a few times, then shook their noses hard, frowned and asked them: "How come there is a smell of blood?"

Gu Xiyan said softly: "We stopped at the intersection of Anyifang Street..."

The non-commissioned officer stretched his head in and looked at it for a while, with a look of confusion on his face.

A soldier-like man ran over and shouted to the non-commissioned officer: "Person Hu, Governor Min, told you to go to the intersection of Yonglefang and find an injured person..."

The non-commissioned officer frowned, looked at the carriage a few more times, waved his hand, signaling Gu Xiyan and the others to leave, and then walked towards Yonglefang with the little soldier, muttering, "Where is the injury? Don't be injured again..."

Gu Xiyan and the others were relieved, and everyone rushed to get on the car. Duan Niang urgently ordered the coachman: "Go away! Go quickly!"

When she returned to Gu's mansion, Mrs. Gu actually stood at the gate of Gu's mansion regardless of etiquette. As soon as she saw the carriage that Gu Xiyan and the others were sitting in, she immediately walked down the steps and said anxiously: "Where is Miss Second, is Miss Second? Is Miss Second?"

Gu Xiyan immediately stretched out her head and shouted "Mother", and Mrs. Gu calmed down.

She personally helped Gu Xiyan get out of the car, then her face changed, and she asked her in panic: "You, are you injured?"

"No!" Gu Xiyan replied a little confusedly, "I'm not injured!"

"How come there is a bloody smell of Schisandra!" Mrs. Gu frowned slightly. After saying that, she explained to herself: "Maybe I am too sensitive. When she heard that there was an riot in the East City, the whole city was banned from defense. You have not come back, so I was so anxious... It's good to come back, just come back, let's go back quickly, so as not to cause any trouble again..." Mrs. Gu said, pulling Gu Xiyan and turning back to the mansion.

Huilan, who was getting off the car behind Gu Xiyan, smelled her clothes at this time and said to Mo Ju strangely: "We don't have anything on us, why is there a smell of blood in the car?"

Xinghong was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. Seeing this, Mo Ju pulled Huilan: "Stop talking about this, let's go back quickly."

On the way back to the park, Gu Xiyan talked about the incident to Mrs. Gu, of course, she omitted the process of her blind date and the matter of giving advice to Jiang Xinglin. Mrs. Gu's face turned pale and kept proclaiming "Amitabha Buddha" in her mouth. She hurriedly ordered Madam Tian beside her: "Click mugwort leaves for the girl to go and get the foul air..."

Mrs. Gu had already sent someone to find out what happened. When the man was about to send a message, he came back and reported that it was "a fugitive ran away from the prison." Gu Xiyan laughed. Isn't this an excuse for making up randomly? Now, the real situation cannot be found out!

After a while, Gu Xiyan didn't eat steaming food until after 8 o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, Gu Xiyan lay on the bed exhausted after washing her eyes, but her eyes were so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, but her mind was very clear and she didn't feel sleepy. She was in a very strange excitement. She just waited until dawn in half-dream and half-awake, half-bright and half-die.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Gu Xiyan got up. Mo Ju and the others looked bad. They were pumping water to wash Fu Shi her face, but Liu'er flew in like a cheerful magpies: "Aunt Duan, Aunt Duan, I'm overjoyed, I'm overjoyed!"

Duan Niang walked out of the wing room to the west with a smile and patted Liu'er's head: "Look at you, you don't look like a big girl guarding the garden!"

Liu'er blinked her big eyes and smiled disapprovingly: "If Aunt Duan heard about it, she wouldn't look like a nanny in the second girl's house!"

Duan Niang raised her eyebrows and said "Oh".

Liu'er coughed gently, curled her smile, and said seriously: "Madam, let the second girl go to her house!"

Duan Niang smiled and lit up on Liu'er's forehead: "Damn girl, tell me!"

Liu'er pretended to be painful and said "Oh" and touched her forehead and pouted, "I didn't say it, don't you." After that, she leaned into Duan Niang's ear and whispered a few times.

Duan Niang's face changed drastically and she said in surprise: "Really?"

Liu'er's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she stretched out her hand to spread it in front of Duan Niang: "It's even more real than the gold ring I'm wearing!"

Duan Niang seemed to be frightened when she heard this, and her eyes looked straight towards Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan, who was sitting in front of the mirror, saw Duan Niang's appearance in the mirror, felt a slump in her heart, and she smiled calmly and said, "What's wrong?"

Duan Niang murmured and couldn't say anything, but Liu'er chattered and said, "Congratulations to Miss, congratulations to Miss. Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion asked the eldest princess to come forward to protect the matchmaker for the ninth prince Jiang Xinglin in their mansion, and beg for the second girl..."

Gu Xiyan was also stunned and looked at each other through the mirror.

Liu'er felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, looked at Gu Xiyan in confusion, then looked at Duan Niang, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, this is a happy event... The Jiang family was a founding hero, and the ninth prince is said to be a legitimate son, and the second-class Jinshi last year..."

Gu Xiyan didn't know what happened, so she couldn't ask anything in front of Liu'er, so she had to wink at Duan Niang, and then said to Liu'er: "You have a break here for a while, have some tea, I'll go change some clothes and go there."

Duan Niang immediately entered the inner room, and Mo Ju also cleverly invited Liu'er to her wing room for tea.

Gu Xiyan took advantage of Duan Niang's helping her change her clothes and said, "I'll go to Madam Tian to inquire."

Duan Niang nodded: "I understand."

The two of them quickly packed up, and Gu Xiyan followed Liu'er to guard the garden.

There were many strange faces under the veranda and eaves of the park. When Gu Xiyan entered the house, Mrs. Gu was talking with a woman. On a hot day, the woman was sitting in a dangerous position, dressed in a well-decorated manner, with a goose yellow half-arm on her upper body, and a bright red skirt with butterflies and flowers exposed under her arm. The pearls and jade on her head shimmered brightly to reflect the light like stars, and it swayed on the objects in the house from time to time, making people's eyes a little unopened. Gu Xiyan knew that this must be the eldest princess, and she bent her knees with graceful movements and made the word "Fu" to the two. Mrs. Gu hurriedly got up and pulled Gu Xiyan to introduce to the eldest princess: "This is my incompetent daughter!" Then she hurriedly ordered Gu Xiyan: "Hurry, salute the eldest princess."

Ye'er, who was standing behind Mrs. Gu, was also a clever man. He immediately took a mat and placed it in front of Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan knew that she was going to give a big gift, so she knelt on the mat and kowtowed and gave a big gift.

"Get up!" said the eldest princess, her voice very soft.

Gu Xiyan thanked her before standing up.

"Come on, come to me and let me see!"

Gu Xiyan responded "Yes", then lowered her eyebrows and walked to the eldest princess with her eyes down.

The eldest princess looked very kind and took Gu Xiyan's hand to ask her how old she was, what books she had read at home, and who had learned about the girl's love from her.

Gu Xiyan responded respectfully one by one.

The eldest princess did not show a satisfied or dissatisfied tone or look, and smiled and made someone take Gu Xiyan down.

Gu Xiyan followed the nanny next to the eldest princess to sit down in the west wing of the Shouyuan. After waiting for a while, she heard the movement of the eldest princess leaving. She immediately ran out and stood under the eaves waiting for Mrs. Gu who was sending the eldest princess out of the house. When she saw Mrs. Gu, she asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Mrs. Gu had a smile on her face and said, "It's nothing, nothing. The eldest princess is the biological mother of my sister-in-law. Let's go to the door."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Liu'er again, but Liu'er lowered her eyelids and avoided her gaze. Gu Xiyan had no choice but to chat with Mrs. Gu for a few words, and had to get up and leave.

When he returned to Wuyuan, he actually saw Huilan helping Xinghong serve breakfast. Huilan hurriedly smiled and greeted Gu Xiyan: "I was afraid Mo Ju and Xinghong were frightened, so I came over to fight."

Gu Xiyan suppressed the doubts in her heart and thanked Huilan, and then asked Huilan with concern if she had had breakfast.

Huilan smiled and said, "Madam Wu went to Da'anfang. I am alone and I am too lazy to do it..."

Gu Xiyan hurriedly invited Huilan to have breakfast together, and then used the excuse of going to see how the things in Xiuheyuan were cleaned up with Duan Niang, so she pulled Duan Niang to Cuidi Pavilion.
