I want to make progress

Chapter 58 Help me
"Haha...I believe it."

She laughed happily. Although he knew nothing, she received the kindness.

"What about you? What's your dream? To make the Duke of England's Mansion always so prosperous in your hands?" She leaned over the man's knees, looking at him curiously, wanting to touch the man's heart. "Wouldn't that be too boring and too simple for you?"

“That’s responsibility.”

Carefully wrapping my arms around her shoulders, caressing her delicate skin with my fingertips, dreams...

"When I was little, I wanted to be a great general fighting on the battlefield like my father. Later, my dream was to be a good official who could speak up for the people."

"Ahaha...it turns out that our Duke is a person who cares more about the country and the people!" She held his hand and laughed, revealing her little white teeth. It turns out that this guy is so cute!

"Ahem... stop laughing..."

Hearing the laughter and meeting her teasing eyes, Gu Changting felt a little embarrassed and helpless, and the tips of his ears turned red.

"I just think this dream is great, and you've been doing it all along."

Holding the man's hand, Shu Yunfu's eyes sparkled. Not to mention that he was her man, just saying that everything he did now was moving towards his dream. He was such a man that made people's heart beat fast.

Since she was moved, Shu Yunfu was not one to let herself be wronged. She raised her head and grabbed the man's collar, pulling the arrogant man down, kissing his thin lips and smelling her scent.

Her breath was plundered, and feeling the man's passion, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she threw the man onto the boat.

She is not a good person, so Gu Changting, since you are involved with me, let's sink together!

The night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness and rolling up the veil on the boat, and together with the moonlight, gently protected the affection on the boat.

After a long time, the flower boat quietly docked at the shore. Compared with the bustling streets, this place was unusually quiet and dark.

She nestled drowsily in the man's arms and let him carry her off the boat and into the carriage.

Listening to the sound of the wheels turning, she opened her eyes slightly with amorous feelings and snuggled into his arms, "Duke, please do me a favor..."

His large palm passed through her hair, combing it gently. Gu Changting said nothing, just listened silently.

"I remember that Su Meiren's brother Su Huai was an official in the Dali Temple."

"Leave the Sumerians' affairs to me."

His eyes fell on her bandaged fingers, combing her hair with a slight pause. He knew her pain and injury, but she was still too weak...

"I know I'm weak and can't do anything, but Su Meiren has hurt me again and again, and I have to vent my anger." He held her hand and looked up at him, his eyes full of grievance and accusation, "You don't want to help me?"

"What do you want to do? Concubine Su is the emperor's woman after all."

Even though he knew that the woman was keeping that idiot Gu Changheng hanging with ill intentions, he could only warn her but not take action. As a subject, he could not touch the emperor's things, even an unfavored woman.

Otherwise, why would he allow such a cancer that could potentially overthrow the Duke of England to exist? As someone in this position, there is no such thing as mercy.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Seeing that he softened his words, she knew what the man meant. "Hasn't the case of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo been making a lot of noise recently? I heard that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture didn't dare to try the case and wanted to push it to the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple didn't want to offend anyone, so now they are working together to handle the case."

"That's right." He raised his eyes and looked at her with some surprise, "You mean to let Su Huai take over this case."

This idea is really mean, but it also makes people feel helpless and they don't need to get involved in it. Is this a spur-of-the-moment idea, or... has it been thought out for a long time?

"My man is smart!" She raised her head and kissed his lips, exchanging breaths, "Help me!"

Holding those red lips, she raised her hand and rubbed the person into her arms, a light flashed in her narrowed eyes, "Help you!"

The temperature in the carriage gradually rose, with hardness and softness entangled and ambiguity abounding.

Suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly. If it weren't for Gu Changting's martial arts skills, he would have saved Shu Yunfu in time and held the window with one hand. Both of them would have turned into balls and rolled out of the carriage.

"what happened?"

The carriage finally stabilized, and Gu Changting lifted the curtain with displeasure.

"Master, something seems to have happened. Many people are running away. There seems to be a stampede."

After finally controlling the carriage to stop, Qixian's forehead was covered with sweat. Looking at the chaotic crowd beside the carriage, he suddenly felt nervous.

Without getting off the carriage, he grabbed a fleeing man beside him and asked, "What happened? What are you running for?"

"There's a fire! There's a fire! What a big fire! So many people have been burned to death! So many people are running away and people are being trampled to death! Run! Run!"

With just a few words, even though he didn't know the whole story, he knew the situation was probably not good, and Gu Changting's face changed immediately.

"The streets are going to be in chaos. I'm going to go take a look. I'll let Qixian escort you back first."

"There are so many people on the street today, with floods and trampling everywhere. How can I be at ease with you alone? Let Qixian go with you. I have Yuyan by my side, so nothing will happen to me."

Seeing that his man was anxious but still made arrangements for her, how could she leave him alone?

"Don't worry, I have secret guards protecting me. Don't worry."

"But……"

"obedient!"

"Qixian! Send the person back to the mansion safely!"

"Yes!"

After arranging the people, Gu Changting left in a hurry, and Shu Yunfu's eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, Aunt Shu. It's just a minor accident. The Duke will be fine. It's not safe here. I'll take you back right away."

Seeing her like this, Qixian spoke to comfort her, her tone full of pride. This little thing was just a trivial matter to the Duke.

But Shu Yunfu did not relax because of this, and only looked solemn, "If only this was just an accident."

"What do you mean?" Qixian's smug look paused. There was another deeper meaning behind these words!
"Today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for families to reunite. There are countless people on the streets. Any disturbance will have serious consequences, so the government must be prepared."

"We are far away from the crowd center, but just looking at the panicked appearance of these people fleeing, we know that the situation is much more serious than we imagined. If it is just an accident, that would be fine. What I am afraid of is that this is not an accident but a man-made disaster."

No matter how much she worried, she was just a weak woman and could not help with anything. Following Qixian back home, the only thing she could do was to protect herself and not cause trouble for Gu Changting.
