Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 706 Confrontation
Gu Xiang looked at Chen Xu and his guards from the corner of his eye.

At a glance, she saw that her guard was the most beautiful boy on this alley.No matter how disguised they are, they stand out from the crowd. Compared with the real peddlers, merchants, and passers-by, they are too tall and handsome, and their faces are not ugly when they are painted with ashes.

Hey, Chen Xu was born in the front of the palace, and so are the people under him.

The guards in the front of the palace, regardless of their skills, they can definitely punch their faces, they are tall and good-looking, and they almost can't reach the front of the imperial court.

Fortunately, there are many people, so it doesn't matter.

The ready-to-wear store is already tense at this time.

Mrs. Cui's hair is not yet dry, and she finally doesn't have the dirty and stench on her body, and her face is still a bit haggard. She stared at the people who rushed over, her eyes bursting with anger: "You - are you crazy!"

"I think you are crazy, Ah Cui."

The middle-aged man in the lead looked coldly, looked at Mrs. Cui from head to toe, and said coldly, "I heard that you are going to get married? Why, you finally forgot the dead ghost in front and want to change to a new one? I heard that the man you picked has a family of good farmers. Mu, you are handsome, a serious and honest person, you really know how to choose!"

Mrs. Cui: "..."

She took a deep breath: "How can you believe this? This is..."

After pondering for a moment, she wanted to say that Xiang Shenglong was tricking her, but the matter had come to an end, and if she said that again, it would be like giving Xiang Shenglong eye drops.

Mrs. Cui didn't want any more divisions and misunderstandings among her own people, so she just said: "Dahu, why did you say that, you must have leaked the news somewhere, so that the people in Gu Zhuang, especially that Gu Xiang, are a little vigilant. It’s just that I deliberately made this up and wanted me to stay in Gu Zhuang for a while. There are so many rumors now that it’s not normal, we’d rather stay still than move, and we must not fall into the trap.”

She thought of all the hardships she had endured to get out of Gu Zhuang, tears were about to roll down, and she finally returned, and she was suspected so far before she confided what she had found out.

For a moment, Mrs. Cui felt an unspeakable sadness and pain in her heart.

But Xiang Dahu only said that she was pretending again.

"Why talk such nonsense."

Xiang Dahu narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "Where did you transfer that person? I am the caretaker, but now I don't even know the exact location, what are you thinking?"

Mrs. Cui was speechless for a moment.The relationship between the two of them was already quite tense, but she couldn't say that they had been together for so long, and she felt more and more that this person was careless and unreliable, so she deliberately guarded against him.

Between the two, although Mrs. Cui's status is not low, but in reality, Xiang Dahu is in charge.

The two of them have competed for these years, and they have been inseparable. Xiang Dahu has always looked down on her as a woman, and Mrs. Cui usually doesn't care about this person, but when it comes to important matters, she really doesn't think that this person is trustworthy.

"Now hand over that one right away, otherwise, I will have no choice but to consider you a traitor. You should know that the worst thing Madam can tolerate is betrayal."

Mrs. Cui was startled, frowned, and said solemnly: "Xiang Dahu, you were also taught by Boss Liu anyway, so you deserve some kind of true teaching. If you fart like this all day long, is it embarrassing?"

Suddenly, swords were tense in the courtyard.

Several men rushed out from all directions, but they all surrounded Cui Niangzi.

Madam Cui's expression changed: "What do you mean!"

"Don't you know? You can see for yourself!" Xiang Dahu threw a letter into Mrs. Cui's arms, and Mrs. Cui hurriedly caught it, opened it, and her face changed suddenly: "Nonsense, Xiang Shenglong Little bastard, it's clear that he is a bastard who is eager to strive for success, and he trips me up everywhere, which really ruins the big thing, and now this is a backlash?"

She didn't bother to hide anymore, and sternly told the story of Xiang Shenglong selling her to the villagers in detail.

"He's just—lawless!"

Xiang Dhu frowned, he didn't believe it: How could Shenglong be such a ignorant person?

And——"If that's the case, why didn't you mention this matter just now? You only said it after seeing Shenglong's letter... Now that Shenglong has disappeared, he can't refute anything you say, and there is no corroboration. Who are you saying? Can you believe it?"

Mrs. Cui was speechless for a moment.

The scene froze immediately, and Xiang Dahu shook his head: "Forget it, I'll worry about other things later, I'm going to see the surname Hua now, as a guard, if I can't find him, it's a serious dereliction of duty, I can't explain to you when Boss Liu comes back. , let alone explain to Mrs. Zhang."

He looked serious and obviously refused to compromise.

Mrs. Cui frowned, she couldn't help hesitating.

Xiang Dahu sternly said: "Why, even I can't know?"

Since there is no reason that Xiang Dahu can't know, in the end, it is against the rules for Mrs. Cui to arrange someone Hua privately.

It's just—Ms. Cui's doubts were still unresolved, she closed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Come here with your ears."

She lowered her voice, and talked to Xiang Dahu for a long while as thinly as a mosquito.

Not long after, Xiang Dhu went out, greeted a dozen people behind him, got on his horse and galloped away.

In the teahouse opposite the tailor shop, Gu Xiangren was still lying on the eaves, but Chen Xu in the teahouse couldn't stand up, and immediately climbed up the pillars to the roof.

"Princess, let the subordinates go—"

Gu Xiang nodded, Chen Xu was overjoyed immediately, and was about to leave immediately.

"Wait, you enter Shuyuan Street, go west, you should see a cluster of flower gardens, cross the flower garden and cross the bridge, after crossing the bridge, go in and see where willow trees are planted at the same time. Poplars, wild roses and peonies, that’s the place, remember, don’t disturb the outside, the more silent the better, if you find someone, bring him here.”

Chen Xu: "...Yes."

He hurriedly led his brothers all the way to Shuyuan Street, and not long after he walked, he saw Xiang Dahu leading people on a rampage, running in the opposite direction of himself.

Chen Xu: "??"

He stamped his feet, hesitated for a while, and followed Xiang Xiang's instructions.

Chen Xu had already figured it out in his heart, if something went wrong, it couldn't be the princess' fault, but his incompetence.

As the leader of the guards, he naturally wants to blame the princess. In the future, when those unreasonable people from the Hua family focus on this matter, he must stand up and block all troubles for the princess.

His Majesty entrusted him with the safety of the princess mansion and the princess's safety. What he wanted to protect was not only the life and safety of the princess, but also her reputation, her mood, and her future.

Chen Xu went silently with a tragic mood.

It's less than a quarter of an hour.

On the east side of Shuyuan Street, in Sanhuaishu Lane, suddenly birds flew in a fright, and faint shouts could be heard.

The common people walking in a hurry outside didn't notice anything, but those who cared didn't know what it was like.

In a clothing store.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy rushed in, and said in a low voice: "Lady, there is indeed someone following her, and the method is quite strong. Now the other party is trying to break into our other courtyard. Fortunately, the lady has a clever plan, and she came up with this probing strategy. Tell Brother Xiang about that person's whereabouts, it's really troublesome now."

Mrs. Cui took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and didn't know whether to be relieved that her prediction had come true, or to be worried.

Sure enough, he was following them.

Is it the government?
