The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 66 The Assassinated Thief Has Tattoos
Lin Qingqian didn't think much about it, she subconsciously nodded her head in agreement, and before the words finished, Gu Changgeng said first, "Thank you Shizi Shen for your kindness, but Qingqian has been out of the mansion for a long time, and if she doesn't go back, the old lady should be worried."

After Gu Changgeng reminded her, Lin Qingqian suddenly remembered what the old lady told her.

She quietly said: "I promised my grandmother that I need to go back early, it's already noon, I really should go back home."

"My son sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform the old lady that the third lady had lunch at the Hou Mansion before going back."

Lin Qingqian shook her head and refused, "Don't bother Shen Shizi, I will return home later, I appreciate Shen Shizi's kindness."

Now that the old lady had promised to go back early, she didn't want to break her promise.

Shen Fei had no choice but to force him to stay, so he didn't say anything else.

Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at Gu Changgeng, and said, "Brother Changgeng, when I go back this time, it's not easy for me to come out of the mansion to see you again. You should take good care of your injuries. If there is anything, Shen Shizi will send someone to the prime minister's mansion to tell me."

Gu Changgeng's face was cold, he nodded, and said: "Be careful on the way back to the mansion. When the imperial doctor says that my injury has improved, I will go back to the mansion and will not disturb Shizi Shen again."

"Alright, I'll wait for Brother Chang Geng to return home."

"My son, let's send one to the third lady."

Just as Lin Qingqian was about to say yes, Gu Changgeng took another step forward and said, "Shizi Shen, stay a little longer. I have something to tell you. Is it convenient?"

"Why don't you wait for me to send Miss San..."

Lin Qingqian smiled slightly, and said: "Shizi Shen, you don't have to be polite, just let the boy take me out, and you and Brother Chang Geng talk slowly."

Although she was curious about what Gu Changgeng had to say to Shen Fei, but seeing that he was unwilling to say it in front of her, Lin Qingqian led Chun Xia away tactfully.

Shen Fei watched Lin Qingqian's figure disappear outside the door, looked away, and said to Gu Changgeng: "Young Master Gu, what do you have to say to this eldest son?"

"I want to ask Shen Shizi something."

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Gu, please tell me."

"I would like to ask Shen Shizi to send someone to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to see if there is a circular tattoo on the arm of the two thieves' corpses."

Shen Fei looked at Gu Changgeng suspiciously, "Why?"

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "I just remembered that when the thief stabbed me that day, I saw tattoos on the arms of the two of them, so I wanted to confirm it. There are many, and it is not uncommon to use the technique of disguise to confuse the real with the fake."

Shen Fei believed it to be true, "Okay, I will send someone to go to the Ministry of Punishments now, and if there is a result, I will tell Mr. Gu."

"Thank you, Shizi Shen."

……

on the carriage.

Chunxia kept sneaking glances at Lin Qingqian, hesitant to speak, which made her chuckle, and said, "If you want to ask something, just ask, why are you hesitating?"

Chun Xia hesitated for a moment, and expressed the doubts in his heart: "Miss, don't you think Mr. Gu is a little weird just now?"

"Brother Chang Geng is weird? Where is he weird?"

"It's just... It seems that he has been interrupting Shizi Shen from talking to you. Even when Shizi Shen was about to send you off just now, he seemed to stop Shizi Shen on purpose, um...Miss, you..."

Chun Xia covered her knocked head, and looked at Lin Qingqian aggrievedly.

Lin Qingqian sighed speechlessly, and said: "I've been thinking wildly all day long, elder brother Chang Geng asked me to go back home earlier, it's for my own good, lest I offend grandma, and Shen Shizi will be left behind, he must be important I want to tell Shen Shizi about it."

Chun Xia said "Oh", but she didn't quite believe Lin Qingqian's explanation.

In fact, Chun Xia still has some selfish intentions, Shen Feigui is the heir of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and has not yet settled on a marriage, two years from now will be the year of the weak crown, if the young lady can have mutual affection with him at that time, and set a marriage, it would be the best.

Lin Qingqian didn't notice Chun Xia's thoughts, otherwise she would roll her eyes to heaven.

Not to mention that she didn't want to marry at all, but Shen Fei gave her the first impression, she would never fall in love with him.

……

The East Wing of Pingyang Houfu.

"The people sent by my son have returned. Please rest assured, Mr. Gu, the corpses of those two thieves do have the tattoo patterns you mentioned, and they will not be corpses that have been disguised."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Changgeng's eyes were gloomy, and there was a penetrating coldness all over his body.

It really is those people!

The person who killed his father and bloodbathed the general's mansion!

Seeing that Gu Changgeng's expression was abnormal, Shen Fei asked puzzledly: "Young Master Gu... But is there something wrong?"

Gu Changgeng suppressed the wanton hatred in his chest, pretended to be expressionless and said: "No, it seems that it has been confirmed for sure, it is the thief who was assassinated that day, I can feel at ease, thank you Shizi Shen for your help."

Shen Fei vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Gu Changgeng, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't see anything wrong, so he said casually: "Mr. Gu, you don't need to say thank you, the thief almost hurt the third lady, just treat it for the third lady, my son It should be checked too.”

Now Gu Changgeng frowned, a trace of displeasure appeared in his heart.

Don't you need to thank Lin Qingqian?
Speaking of which, Lin Qingqian regards him as his elder brother, Shen Fei is just an outsider whom he met a few times, Shen Fei doesn't feel that there is something wrong with saying these words from his mouth?
But in the end Gu Changgeng pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

……

Three more days passed.

Looking at the dust-cleaning cloth up and down in the prime minister's mansion, Lin Qingqian quietly said: "There are still three days until Yuan Ri, and I don't know how brother Chang Geng's injury is. Will he be able to return to the mansion before Yuan Day?"

"Miss, don't worry. Shen Shizi sends someone to inform you every day that Mr. Gu's situation is getting better day by day."

"That being said, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I am worried."

Seeing Lin Qingqian, Chun Xia wanted to sigh again, so he had no choice but to say: "By the way, Madam Zhang said today, the old lady asked the young lady to come to Jinglan Garden and let you choose some sets of jewelry that you like for the first day."

"Well, let's go, it happens that there is nothing wrong, we will go there now."

"Yes."

At the gate of Jinglan Garden, Lin Qingqian unexpectedly ran into Lin Qingrou who had been grounded for half a month.

Just thinking that the two of them broke their faces once before, so they don't need to argue with Lin Qingrou again, Lin Qingrou came up first, and called out very affectionately: "Sister San, are you here to pay your respects to grandma?"

Lin Qingqian was taken aback, and replied calmly, "Come to the grandmother's yard, I'm here to pay her respects."

Lin Qingqian's indifference did not make Lin Qingrou angry, but she held her hand, lowered her head, and said timidly, "Half a month of confinement, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have misunderstood Third Sister, and I shouldn't have been careless. I almost hurt the third sister in the palace, I really know I was wrong, can the third sister...don't be angry with me? Forgive me this time?"

Lin Qingqian wanted to laugh in her heart, thinking she was stupid or brainless?

The person who wanted to kill you in the past will forgive you with a few soft words now?

But Lin Qingqian showed a happy expression on the surface, and took Lin Qingrou's hand behind her back, saying: "Knowing mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it. How could I be angry with fourth sister."

"That's really great. Then I'll go to the third sister's courtyard to sit in the primary school. I heard that the third sister's female celebrity is not very good. I'm familiar with it. I can teach the third sister."

"Well, that's naturally good." Lin Qingqian nodded and said, "Grandmother is still waiting for me, I'll go in first today, and the fourth younger sister will sit in our yard some other day, and we can talk about ourselves."

"Okay, Third Miss, go in quickly, don't make grandma wait in a hurry."

When Lin Qingqian entered Jinglan Garden, the smile on Lin Qingwu's small face slowly faded, and she let out a cold snort of disdain.
