The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Xiao Mingzhang didn't deliberately think about Gu Deyin. The many things he had to deal with every day filled up his time. He didn't have that much time to miss someone.

But sometimes the more you suppress your emotions, the more you miss that person.

For example, at this moment, the brother and sister were sitting together to eat, and the younger sister was talking while eating.

"It's just that Sister Gu was generous enough to collect the body of the old lady of the Xu family. If it had been someone else, she wouldn't have cared about it. Didn't you see that even her family members didn't come forward? I really don't deserve it for Sister Gu. This old lady of the Xu family I have seen people who seem sensible but are actually biased..."

His sister was fighting for Gu Deyin, but he was frantically thinking about going to see her.

He pinched his chopsticks hard to hold the food, trying to suppress all his emotions again.

"Okay, let's eat and talk at the same time, be careful of bloating."

Princess Yuanjia is not someone who takes advice easily.

"Brother, I don't have this problem with my stomach. During this period, I have just been busy finishing the rebellion case of King Yu. I don't have much time to see Sister Gu. I miss her very much. I will send her a message to invite her to the palace. I am a guest and have just two days of rest. I must accompany Sister Gu to have a good talk..."

She was so excited that she didn't notice that her brother was silent, but she happily planned to invite Gu Deyin as a guest.

Xiao Mingzhang did not say anything to stop his sister's plan, after all, he could no longer hold back his longing for her.

Princess Yuanjia was very active. She wrote the invitation in her own hand immediately after the meal and handed it to someone, making sure that it was delivered to Gu Deyin.

Xiao Mingzhang found an excuse to drink tea and sit down to watch her arrange everything, then Shi Shiran got up and went back to handle official duties.

He walked very briskly as he left, which showed that he was in a good mood.

Eunuch Zhou, who was following him, took in everything. He guessed that his master's good mood was related to Gu Deyin.

After his master came back, he carefully questioned the people who were with him and learned many details about the relationship between the two people.

At first, he was quite comforted, feeling that his master had finally enlightened and knew that he wanted to pursue other girls. He originally thought that something good was coming soon, but he didn't know that for such a long time, the two of them had no contact.

His mood went from being very excited to being completely cold, and he felt that there was no chance for these two people.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a turn of events. A few words from Princess Yuanjia aroused the master's heart again. He secretly planned to do something to promote the progress between the two.

But this idea was overturned by him again before he could take a breath. He was afraid that if he did too much and made many mistakes, it would be counterproductive.

I was in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do.

"Eunuch Zhou."

He was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Xiao Mingzhang's aggravated voice calling him. Only then did he come back to his senses and hurriedly collected his thoughts and said, "I'm here."

Xiao Mingzhang glanced at him displeasedly, "What are you thinking about? You didn't even hear me calling you?"

Eunuch Zhou was busy admitting his mistake and did not dare to express his thoughts. He could only blame it on other things, and this was how he managed to pass the test.

Xiao Mingzhang handed over the matters at hand and tried to free up time.

Gu Deyin received an invitation from Princess Yuanjia. No matter how big the deal was, she had to make way for the little princess. Not to mention that the little princess missed her, she also missed her.

After everyone returned to Beijing, they couldn't even find time to get together.

She was busy with the new business she had taken over, while the little princess was busy convicting King Yu's accomplices in the rebellion. There were many things to do, after all, too many people were involved.

She hurriedly wrote a reply and asked Huashu to make a trip and return it to the princess.

On the appointed day, she dressed up carefully, got into the carriage and went to the Prince Regent's Palace.

Thinking of this, she naturally thought of Xiao Mingzhang, and wondered if he was doing well recently.

She deliberately didn't think about him, but she would always think of him inadvertently, like this moment. Since returning to Beijing, he has not asked anyone to bring her a single message, and she has not come to disturb him. It is best for everyone to be safe.

She shouldn't be able to mess with a man like Xiao Mingzhang.

The dismal ending of the Xu family made her even more determined on this idea. Once such a man with the power of life and death turns against him, the consequences will be disastrous.

Just as she was lost in thought, the carriage she was riding in suddenly gave a heavy thump. From the looks of it, it must have been caused by the carriage driver's emergency stop.

She frowned slightly and glanced at Hua Chao.

Hua Chao hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, "What happened?"

"Miss Hua Chao, it's okay, I just almost bumped into someone."

"Is this okay?"

As she spoke, she got out of the carriage and was startled when she saw the person the coachman had almost bumped into.

"Uncle Liu, why is it you?"

When Gu Deyin heard this, he immediately looked over and saw the down-and-out Liu Chunhe. He saw that the former heir apparent was now wearing ordinary clothes, followed by a boy, who was hugging him in the past. Looks very different.

The fate of the Liu family was actually not much better than that of the Xu family. The men were exiled and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi, but Liu Chunhe apparently escaped the punishment.

When Liu Chunhe saw Gu Deyin looking at him without blinking, he quickly lowered the brim of his hat and said harshly, "Girl, you have mistaken the wrong person. My surname is not Liu."

When Hua Chao heard this, she immediately became anxious and wanted to argue again. This was obviously Liu Chunhe.

"Okay, the streets are full of people. It's reasonable for you to admit your mistake. Quickly ask if anyone was injured..."

"No."

Liu Chunhe quickly denied it and left quickly with his only servant.

He was deeply afraid that Gu Deyin would recognize him and report him to the government. After all, he and Gu Deyin had a grudge.

"Who is it?"

Hua Chao watched the man leave in a hurry, couldn't help but complain, and then returned to the carriage muttering.

"Girl, this is obviously Liu Chunhe, why don't you let me scream?"

She was filled with hatred when she thought that Liu Chunhe had tried to get his hands on her girl before. At that time, she was unable to take revenge. Now that this man had finally hit the muzzle of a gun, she had to force him to commit suicide no matter what.

"Girl, if you don't let you yell, there's a reason for not letting you yell."

Hua Shu tugged at Hua Chao's sleeves to prevent her from arguing anymore, so as not to anger the girl.

Gu Deyin said disapprovingly, "Why can he escape the punishment of exile? What do you think is the reason?"

Hua Chao was startled, and she suddenly thought of Liu Ruohe, who was now Eunuch Zhang's concubine.

Gu Deyin saw that she had reacted and then smiled.

"Liu Ruohe and Liu Chunhe have always had a good relationship. How could they not save this brother? I'm afraid Eunuch Zhang used some trick behind the scenes to secretly replace him, so that he could escape punishment."

If we clamor for Liu Chunhe to be arrested now, the previous plan will be in vain.

She doesn't know how to pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.
