Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

"Oh, the imperial examination is finally about to begin. The rural examination will be here soon."

"All the students studying outside are going back to their native place for the exam. All the scholars and talents in Jiangdong are coming back, and they are becoming more and more lively."

"They came back just in time for the marriage between the Gu family and the Xu family. They got married and the country test is coming. It's a good omen."

"Good things are hard to grind. It was said before that Gu Jin liked a maid. It seems that he cares most about his real fiancee Xu Xiurong."

"Right, right. Didn't you say that she was caught? The maid's name is Pinggu or Xiangping..."

"Don't worry about the servants. There's nothing to talk about. Alas, I heard that the wedding dress was made of the most expensive cloth, found the best embroidery Pavilion, hired 50 embroidery women to finish it in two days and nights, and a red cap alone can cover our expenses for a year."

"Worthy of caring for your family!"

Gu Jin's marriage to Xu Xiurong is well known.

Ten li of red makeup and 18 boxes of bride price were carried into Xu's house one by one, which made the whole people in Jiangdong envy. Even when the sheriff married the county Lord, there was no such big market.

When Xu Xiuyan came back from the capital, he was going to send his sister Xu Xiurong to marry. He was stunned and asked in detail.

"Niang, Xiurong, what's going on?"

Mrs. Xu didn't say much, but smiled. "The family abides by the engagement and wants to marry Xiurong according to the agreement. Do you think these instrument sticks are enough for Xiurong?"

"But Gu Jin has no sincerity for Xiurong. He used Xiurong to calculate Gu Wenjun in Wenshan college!" Xu Xiuyan was worried. Although he was not a thing and wore a gentle skin, he loved his own sister in the end.

Mrs. Xu didn't think so. "Yes, it's because Gu Jin and Gu Wenjun have gratitude and resentment, and Gu Wenjun helped us, so Xiurong can get married successfully!"

"The Gu family also wants to push Xu Xiurong to Gu Wenjun. It's beautiful! If we want to marry Xiurong, we must marry someone with high status."

Mrs. Xu has her own abacus in her heart: "even if Gu Jin is designed to be unlucky now, as long as his mother is still the county leader and he is still the eldest son, he and Jiangdong can't delay Gu Jin. The Gu family is eager for a bigger scene to cover up the absurdity between Gu Jin and his servants.

Only by holding a big wedding and throwing a lot of money into it, can the scandal of Gu Jin and Pinggu's absurd things in the carriage be completely suppressed.

Therefore, the marriage can only be completed before the rural examination.

Because the family was anxious, they begged Xu Xiurong to marry in. They didn't know how many valuable and good things to send out.

How can Xiao Qingle not hate.

She hated to leave. It was unlucky to see Gu Wenjun more. She had to leave Gu Wenjun and continue to entertain other guests.

The family is decorated with red silk knots inside and outside, which is magnificent.

The overwhelming red filled Gu Wenjun's eyes. But the alizarin red didn't make people feel happy, but made her feel unknown everywhere.

Because this marriage is the result of mutual calculation.

Xu Xiurong did not hesitate to frame her cousin Wang Ziyi in order to marry into the Gu family. Gu Jin designed Xu Xiurong many times in order to get rid of her insufficient identity. Gu Wenjun helped the Xu family to protect herself.

"Young master, be careful."

This time, ah Wu followed Gu Wenjun. He didn't trust Gu Wenjun to enter the tiger cave and wolf cave like Gu's house again. For fear of being drugged again, he kept staring around cautiously.

"It doesn't matter. Today is Gu Jin's wedding day. Xiao Qingle values this son and won't do anything."

Gu Wenjun whispered and looked around. "Now Xiao Qingle is angry with me and won't care about me anymore. Gu Changli is also busy socializing. Gu Jin and Gu Yu are not here to greet relatives. It's the best opportunity. Let's go."

She certainly didn't simply come to the wedding.

Pinggu is calculated so far that Xiao Qingle is afraid to hate Pinggu.

Even if Pinggu pushes all this on Gu Wenjun's head, it won't change the fact that she had an affair with Gu Jin. Xiao Qingle will kill Pinggu.

Gu Wenjun can't let Ren Ping fall into Xiao Qingle's hands. She is of great use to Gu Wenjun.

After listening to the conversation between aunt Ping and Xiao Qingle, Xueyan guessed from the vague information that Xiao Qingle married Gu family and gave birth to Gu Jin and Gu Yu. However, she had to pry open aunt Ping's mouth.

While no one was paying attention, Gu Wenjun slipped away quietly from his seat.

On the previous trip, ah Wu secretly explored the Gu family.

Xueyan also instructed Gu Wenjun in advance, "young master, Xiao Qingle's means are vicious. She likes to punish servants to vent her anger on weekdays. She likes to detain punished servants most, that is, the firewood room. I was also tortured in the firewood room before..."

With ah Wu exploring the way and Xueyan's advice, Gu Wenjun was unimpeded all the way and soon found the firewood house.

But strangely, there was no guard and no chain to block the door.

Ah Wu glanced at Gu Wenjun with worry and stood at the door of the firewood house under the sign of Gu Wenjun.

Gu Wenjun pushed the door and went in alone, but there were only some long accumulated firewood in the firewood room. The ground was covered with ash. There was no one at all except the mess.

"How?" Gu Wenjun couldn't help wondering.

Xueyan is now completely loyal to her and can never cheat.

Gu Wenjun felt strange. He stepped back a few steps from where he was, but his heel suddenly hit a hard object and made a slight knocking sound, which scared Gu Wenjun to turn around.

I saw a man with a cold temperament sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her coldly with eyes without a trace of emotion. The extremely cold eyes stifled Gu Wenjun's heart.

"To your highness!"

Gu Wenjun couldn't help sweating. She forgot to respect Wang. Xiao Ningsheng was still in Gu's house!

Such a big man did not appear at the banquet. There was clearly a problem, but Gu Wenjun ignored it.

What kind of trap is this?

Wait, why didn't she hear the wheel rolling of the wheelchair?

impossible!

Suddenly he thought of something. Gu Wenjun couldn't care about respecting the king. He took one step and wanted to cross the king to look outside the door, "where's ah Wu?"

She asked ah Wu to stay outside the door. Now King Jing appears behind Gu Wenjun silently. Is something wrong?

"He's fine."

Xiao Ningsheng's voice was as cold as his own.

Gu Wenjun still opened the door and saw that ah Wu was held by another strange masked man, unable to make a sound.

It's King Jing's men.

Of course, he must have brought his own guard to Jiangdong.

Ah Wu struggled. Seeing Gu Wenjun, he squeezed his facial nerves greatly, as if he wanted Gu Wenjun to be careful and run away quickly.

Gu Wenjun is more like facing a great enemy, but she can't go now. She turns to King Jing.

"Your Highness king, what's the matter with coming here if you don't attend Gu Jin's and Xu Xiurong's wedding?"

Xiao Ningsheng couldn't help but Snort and moved his eyes.

The masked man spoke for King Jing: "Gu Wenjun, didn't you also come here from the wedding banquet? The LORD came with you. What are you doing here?"

Gu Wenjun turned wildly in her mind and thought of hundreds of reasons and excuses, but she was controlled by others. She finally chose to tell half the truth.

"The story about Pinggu and Gu Jin has been spread all over the city. Xiao Qingle must hate Pinggu very much. I'm afraid she'll kill Pinggu. I couldn't bear to come and see her."

Xiao Ningsheng slightly opened his thin lips and spit out two words.

"Lie."

His subordinates drank coldly: "Gu Wenjun, you have been designed by your family for many times, and you fight back hard and accurately every time. That Pinggu has calculated that you will save her so kindly and magnanimously? Hum, I advise you to answer the Lord's words honestly!"

"I......" Gu Wenjun turned his eyes, gradually calmed down from his panic and looked at Xiao Ningsheng. "I asked aunt Ping about something, so I came to her secretly."

At this moment, Xiao Ningsheng finally nodded slightly.

The man released the knife. Ah Wu got a chance and quickly flashed in front of Gu Wenjun to protect Gu Wenjun.

Seeing this, Xiao Ningsheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to Gu Wenjun's feet.

Before she could react, she heard King Jing's men say, "the Lord is showing you the way. The bad tempered Qingle county leader likes to hide people in secret ways to torture. That's what happened before. Hey, haven't you found anything wrong with the floor? There's no sound when the wheels roll over."

"Ah!"

As soon as Gu Wenjun understood, he saw his men groping for something on the wall and pressing it hard.

As soon as the floor sank under her feet, her heart became numb with the sudden empty gravity contraction, and the whole person slipped down uncontrollably.

"Young master --!" ah Wu shouted anxiously.
