Chapter 129
Gu Hua, who was sitting next to Xiao Junlin, felt a strong scent of perfume coming towards her. Then she saw a woman wearing a pink tight-sleeved top, a green gauze skirt with scattered flowers, and a big bow tied with gold silk gauze around her waist.
Her hair was covered with golden hairpins and jade pendants, her face was delicately made up, her figure was slightly plump, and she looked weak and feeble, but in fact her eyes were charming and alluring. She fell at Xiao Junlin's feet.
"As long as you let my family go, the prince can do whatever he wants to me."
When Gu Hua heard this, he almost laughed out loud. He knew that something interesting was about to happen. He waved his hand and quickly asked Chunlan, Xiahe and the others to go to the side to eat some cakes with the children under the protection of Mu Xue and Mu Feng.
...After all, children are not suitable for such occasions.
Xiao Junlin pursed his thin lips and his eyes were sharp.
If looks could kill, Gu Hua felt that the woman who reached out to hug his legs and was dodged would have been killed on the spot.
Xiao Junlin said sternly, "Get out!"
Wang Yuexi, the stepmother brought into the family by the wife of the prefect Wang Lian, stared blankly at the man's beautiful face with chiseled features. Her eyes suddenly became blurred, as if she was immersed in some beautiful fantasy.
After a long time, Wang Yuexi said: "You are really beautiful."
"Puchi." Gu Hua met the deathly look in the man's eyes and knew that he was caught watching the fun. He shrank his neck, turned his head to look at the sky and the ground, but did not look at the man's eyes.
Xiao Junlin: "Very funny?"
Gu Hua seemed to hear the sound of grinding back teeth, "Not bad."
"Heh!" Xiao Junlin snorted coldly at her for answering the question without looking at him, and then turned his sharp eyes to those officials.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to tell me, I and the others will leave first?"
Xiao Junlin narrowed his eyes at the group of officials who were cowering, nodded, and watched them leave in a hurry...
The people he sent over to collect information on the officialdom of Bashu found that there were few officials who did not exploit the people and engage in corruption and bribery. However, there was no rush, as these people could be dealt with slowly later. The current task was to deal with the infatuated woman on the ground to prevent someone from laughing at him.
"Ye An, drag him out." Xiao Junlin said coldly, "Tell Governor Wang that if you let this girl get close to me again, I don't mind letting a family massacre happen in the Governor's Mansion of Bashu."
Ye Ping and Ye An knew that their prince could not stand women's entanglement, so they stole a glance at Gu Hua, who was sitting next to them with a calm demeanor. This was an exception.
"Tell the governor that I like the furnishings in this house very much. Tell him not to touch them. Don't worry about the rest."
Ye Ping: "Yes, Master."
"Ah..." Wang Yuexi, who boasted of her beauty and wanted to conquer Xiao Junlin, was dragged away by two guards beckoned by Ye An. She struggled and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, my uncle is a general and my father is a governor. If you marry me, you will become an emperor in Bashu in the future."
"My goodness, you can't say that casually." Gu Hua exclaimed: "Fortunately, the dynasty is unstable now and can't care about things so far away."
She glanced at Xiao Junlin. If these words were spread to the capital when the world was peaceful and the imperial power was stable, someone would definitely be charged with treason.
……
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help the young lady up, carry her to the backyard and hand her over to the Madam."
Seeing his stepdaughter being thrown in front of him, Wang Taishou waved his hand with concern and asked the servants to help her up quickly. As for whether he really loved or pretended to love this daughter brought back by his step-wife, when he looked at Wang Yuexi's back as she was helped away by the servants, a flash of disgust in his eyes showed that he did not like this spoiled, domineering and stupid cheap daughter.
Upon hearing that Xiao Junlin not only robbed him of the luxurious mansion that he had worked so hard to acquire, but also refused to let him take away the valuable furnishings that various officials and wealthy businessmen had given him to decorate the house, Governor Wang felt so tired that he wanted to cry and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
The most important thing is that the money he had plundered from the people over the years, which he had kept in the dark room of his study, could not be taken out openly in front of everyone.
Prefect Wang brought his servants with him to move most of the things except the furnishings that were not allowed to be moved. As the prefect of Shu County, he had a government mansion for officials to stay in, so he was not afraid of having no place to live after moving.
"Master, what happened? Why do we have to move out?" Mrs. Wang, who had just returned from outside, walked hurriedly to the front of Governor Wang and asked in a questioning tone.
It was obvious that the governor was used to the way she spoke to him. He looked at the guards who were watching them move out, held his breath, and said:
"Our family was favored by Prince Li who came to the vassal state. He happened to come in a hurry and the palace here had not been built yet, so he temporarily requisitioned our house."
“Temporarily?” Mrs. Wang, whose beautiful features were distorted, slightly deepened the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, making her look a little gloomy. “I’ll go find my brother…”
Prefect Wang curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes revealing a gloomy, cunning and calculating look.
"Humph! Bastards."
I don't know who he was scolding.
However, after waiting for a long time, Governor Wang still did not see his brother-in-law, who held military power, and was invited by his second wife to support him. In the end, he could only leave at the urging of the guards brought by Xiao Junlin.
But before leaving through the gate, he grabbed Wang Yuexi, who was about to make trouble, with a sinister look in his eyes, and said, "If you don't want our family to be assassinated, you better be quiet for a while."
Prefect Wang had no doubt that Xiao Junlin, a prince, had the power to destroy his entire family.
Because he knew this, no matter how unwilling he was, he quickly moved out of this luxurious mansion.
After Governor Wang led his people to move out, Ye Ping and Ye An led their people to clean out the courtyard where Xiao Junlin, Gu Hua, and their four children were going to live as quickly as possible.
And I don’t know whether Ye Ping and Ye An did it on purpose or not, but the places they lived were right next to each other anyway.
Gu Hua sat in the small hall of his courtyard, listening to the news that Mu Feng had brought back.
Dagui and Ergui Han Jinyan and their friends, as well as her uncle Chen's family, the fourth branch where Gu Chen is, the Shen family which is made up of women, and the families of Gu Jikun and others whom she helped out with, were all assigned to a village called Dashan Village and will be sent away tomorrow.
She was going to meet them.
"Where are you going?"
As soon as Gu Hua walked out of the courtyard where he lived, he ran into Xiao Junlin who was also walking out.
She did not hide anything and told the truth: "The people who followed me will be sent to their assigned places tomorrow. I will go to see them."
Xiao Junlin frowned slightly, then took out a token from his waist and threw it to her, "Take it, it will be easier to meet people."
Gu Hua took the token and looked at it in his hand.
There were three inscriptions of Prince Li engraved on the golden dragon-patterned token. She raised her clear and watery eyes and looked at him, unable to understand why he would just casually throw this token that represented his identity to her.
