The first thing Fu Sheng did after he bought a mansion was to find a cook.

Find a cook who can make chicken noodle soup with the taste that I remember.

Huang Tian paid off, he found it.

Although not comparable, it is almost the same.

The steward has gotten used to it, and every time a distinguished guest stays in Fuchu, the next day's breakfast is always a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

He nodded, "Master, don't worry, everything has been arranged, and the distinguished guests can eat when they wake up."

Fu Sheng nodded, "That's good, after he has eaten his breakfast, don't forget to arrange a sedan chair to take him back."

The stewards responded.

At this time, it was Yinshi, the sky was gray, the crescent moon was hanging in the air, and one or two stars twinkled.

The carriage slowly headed towards the palace.

And in the guest room of the mansion, with the faint candlelight flickering, the man who was missed by Fu Sheng was propping his left face with one hand, lying on his side on the couch, in front of him, was kneeling a man in black.

The man in black lowered his head and said in a very low voice, "Master, everything has been done according to your order."

The man on the couch gave a light "um" and said, "Get back."

"Here." The man in black got up, quietly opened the window, and left with his skills.

The man sat up slowly, his drooping eyelids trembled slightly, covering the indifference in his eyes.

In Yinshi, Gu's mansion was brightly lit.

Su Mo, who was protected by Jin Zhu, heard the sound of fighting outside, and frowned. The bracelet on his wrist had turned into a dagger, and he held his hands tightly under the cover of his sleeves.

Jin Zhu didn't know that Su Mo possessed martial arts, her face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably, but she still pretended to be calm and clenched the broom tightly in her hand.

She said: "Madam, don't be afraid, even if she dies, the servants will definitely protect Madam well."

Su Mo is really not afraid, not because he has confidence in his own martial arts, but because he has confidence in Gu Fu.

She could see that most of the servants of Gu's mansion had practiced martial arts, and Duofuxuan had many people with strong martial arts guarding them.

However, she was still worried that the child Gu Xingnian had woken up, and whether he would be frightened.

But fortunately, the movement outside soon weakened, the door locked by Jin Zhu from the inside was knocked, and Gu Guanshi's voice came in.

"Ma'am, are you all right?"

Jin Zhu's tense heart finally relaxed, and his whole body became a soft-legged shrimp, the broom also fell to the ground, and his eyes became foggy.

She was frightened to death. It was hard to live such a comfortable life. Fortunately, there was no accident!
Su Mo's psychological quality is naturally stronger than Jin Zhu's. She glanced at Jin Zhu, knowing that she was frightened, so she didn't say anything. She put the dagger back into a bracelet, walked around Jin Zhu, and walked to the door. .

With a creak, the door opened from the inside.

The smell of blood rushed towards him, and there were several dead bodies lying in the yard, some of them were captured alive, and they were being tied up and dragged out of the yard at the moment.

Su Mo turned a blind eye to this, "Uncle Gu, is Xing Nian okay?"

Steward Gu was a little surprised by Su Mo's calmness, but it was only fleeting. He said, "Don't worry, madam, the eldest lady is protected by jadeite, everything is fine, she is still asleep..."

Those who came for the assassination sneaked in from a position near the backyard.

As soon as he arrived at Duofuxuan, he was discovered by the guards guarding in the dark.

On Gu Xingnian's side, it's Jade's turn to watch tonight.

She heard movement outside, but she didn't expect the assassin to come, so she opened the door to take a look.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you just saw the guard wipe the assassin's neck with a sword, and blood sprayed out.

Emerald was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, but soon, her strong desire to survive made her stand up.

Trembling, she closed the door and bolted it, then went to hug the sleeping little girl, hid in the cabinet, and at the same time did not forget to cover the little girl's ears.

The whole process is done in one go.

Fei Cui, who was hiding in the cabinet, hugged Gu Xingnian tightly, her ears were empty, and she couldn't hear anything except her own rapid heartbeat.

When the assassins were subdued, Gu Guanshi went to Gu Xingnian's door, knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response, countless bad thoughts popped up in his mind.

He directly let people break into the door.

The windows were closed and there was no one in the bed.

I looked around, but there was no one.

Gu Guanshi rarely panicked and rummaged through the house, not missing any place that could hide someone.

In the end, he found Gu Xingnian who was still asleep while being hugged by Fei Cui in the cabinet.

And the moment Jade was opened the cabinet door, the whole person seemed to regain consciousness, her heart jumped directly into her throat, and her face was pale.

She subconsciously blocked Gu Xingnian with her body, and looked at the person coming with her guarded eyes.

After discovering that Gu Guan was responsible, she immediately relaxed her tense nerves. She opened her mouth, wanting to say that Gu Xingnian was fine, but before she could speak, her eyes darkened and she passed out.

Manager Gu told Su Mo all this.

Finally said: "The old slave has sent someone to invite the doctor, is there something wrong with Madam?"

"I'm fine." Su Mo shook her head, she was in good health both physically and mentally, "On the side of Jade, she has made great achievements in protecting the lord, let the doctor take a closer look, and Jin Zhu was also frightened, and the doctor will give it to her when the time comes." have a look……"

As Su Mo said, she didn't forget to ask the guards.

"If anyone is injured, be sure to let the doctor treat it well, and then go to the cashier to pay some money. They deserve a reward for their meritorious service in protecting the Lord."

Manager Gu responded one by one, "Madam, don't worry, this old slave knows about it."

After arranging these, Su Mo asked about the assassin again.

The assassin went straight to Duo Fuxuan in the backyard, obviously aiming at her.

Su Mo thought about it carefully, and the incident of encountering an assassin when he went to Beijing came back to his mind.

At that time, Su Mo guessed that the assassination had something to do with Fang Shi. After all, the fourth prince was eyeing the Su family's property. Fang Shi joined him, but concealed the news of finding her. Naturally, he didn't want her to return to Beijing.

But after thinking about it, those men in black are vicious, they look like the rumored dead men, it's not that she despises Fang Shi, it's not easy to train dead men...

So Su Mo guessed whether it might have something to do with the fourth prince behind Fang Shi.

Especially when they were assassinated at the beginning and lost several imperial guards, judging from Liu Siqian's attitude, it was obvious that they wanted to find out the truth, but later it was nothing.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no trickery here.

After staying in Gu's mansion, Su Mo learned that the fourth prince had failed to force the palace to rebel and had been executed by Meridian Gate.

This made Su Mo affirm his original guess.

The reason why it didn't come to fruition at the beginning was probably because the mastermind behind the scenes was already dead.

But if this is the case, who is responsible for this assassination?
The information that Su Mo could get was limited, and he didn't know that Fang Shi had escaped from the incident of the fourth prince forcing the palace to rebel, and he was not stained with dust.

She also thought that Fang Shi would either participate in it and end up in a different place, or be implicated in it and be demoted again...

So at this moment, she didn't think about Fang Shi in a daze.

Manager Gu naturally wouldn't hide anything from Su Mo, he truthfully told his plan.

"The old slave has already sent people to the Black Armored Guards to ask people to come and take the assassin away, and the government has also sent people to..."
