Lady Wan Guan

On the way back to Sanxitang, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Ms. Jiang?"

Jiang Wanning opened the car curtain and saw Zheng Guan.

"What a coincidence. Are you on an errand?"

Zheng Guan laughed and said, "Go to the Ministry of Punishment to request a file for my lord."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you have time to go to my place for a cup of tea?"

Zheng Guandao: "Okay, anyway, there is no rush to send the dossier."

Jiang Wanning invited Zheng Guan to the teahouse in the backyard of Sanxitang.

Let Ah Ruan make a pot of good tea.

"Have you been busy lately?" Jiang Wanning asked casually. He hadn't seen anyone else since he came back from the north.

"I'm busy. I'm on a business trip. There's a lot of official work backlogged in Dali Temple. I'm busy every day until late at night."

"Oh... no matter how busy you are, you should take care of your health."

"Ms. Jiang is right. I will tell you this when I get back. You won't listen to what others say, but you will definitely listen to what Mrs. Jiang says."

This was very ambiguous. Why would he definitely listen to her?
Jiang Wanning changed the topic: "Are your adults familiar with the Yao family, the Minister of Rites?"

Zheng Guan was obviously stunned for a moment, and smiled guiltily: "Why does Mrs. Jiang ask like this?"

Did Mrs. Jiang hear something?

It shouldn't be. Neither the Gu nor Yao family proposed marriage again.

Jiang Wanning looked at Zheng Guan with a half-smile.

If there is a question, a normal person's answer would be that I don't know, or, do you have something to ask the Yao family?How about I go back and ask the adults.

But Zheng Guan asked...why do you ask this question.

Jiang Wan Ning smiled secretly, making Zheng Guan sit on pins and needles.

Lady Jiang must know something.

No, I have to explain it to Mrs. Jiang quickly.

"Um...Ms. Jiang, don't get me wrong. Not long ago, Mrs. Gu fell in love with a girl from the Yao family and wanted to propose marriage to you, but you refused. Really, she refused without any hesitation."

Jiang Wan Ning: Uh...

It’s really him!

"Has the Yao family girl seen the adults?"

"I must have seen him before. That day, when my lord learned that the Yao family's mother and daughter came to visit, he was afraid that Mrs. Gu would arrange the marriage in a daze, so he hurried home."

Jiang Wan Ning sighed, the falling flowers were purposeful and the water was ruthless.

Miss Yao Er obviously had a secret crush on Gu Zhouting, but the marriage was fruitless and she fell in love with her.

"I think Miss Yao Er is pretty good."

Zheng Guan said seriously: "My lord doesn't just like whoever is nice. My lord usually doesn't even look at other women."

I will look at you differently and take care of you personally.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the Lord thinks about Lady Jiang.

Jiang Wan Ning sighed slightly, Gu Zhouting was indeed like this.

Zheng Guan sat for a while and then left. He had to go back and tell the adults quickly.

Gu Zhou stopped listening to Zheng Guan's words and his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

"How did she know?" Could it be that the news still spread?
Zheng Guandao: "I made some inquiries and heard that the second girl of the Yao family was suffering from a strange disease and was in a coma. Many doctors were invited to take a look. Today, I met Mrs. Jiang and Doctor Lin on Changxing Street. The Yao Mansion is in Changxing Street. On Xing Street, will the Yao Mansion also invite Madam Jiang to see a doctor?"

"Don't worry, sir. I've already explained it to Madam Jiang."

Gu Zhou stopped and waved his hand, signaling for him to retreat.

When I opened the file, I couldn't read a single word.

He simply stopped looking and asked Mo Yu to prepare the car.

Sanxitang was about to close its doors when Mo Yu drove over and said, "Mrs. Jiang, my family is here to invite you." Jiang Wanning said in her heart that she had just met Zheng Guan today and he wanted to see her, not to discuss matters with the Yao family. It's a matter of marriage, right?

"What's the matter with me, my lord?"

"Your Majesty would like to ask Madam Jiang to give Han Shu a follow-up consultation."

"Han Shu's injury should be almost healed, right?"

"The trauma has indeed healed, but he can't seem to lift his arm."

Jiang Wan Ning frowned. She shouldn't have. She had handled it very carefully that day. Could there be some hidden harm that she hadn't noticed?
Jiang Wanning asked Lin Ruoruo to go back first and got into Mo Yu's carriage.

It’s still that small courtyard.

When they went in, they didn't see Gu Zhouding, so Mo Yu took her directly to Han Shu's room.

Jiang Wan Ning took her pulse, checked the recovery of the wound, and asked, "Which arm can't be lifted?"

Han Shu pointed to his left shoulder: "This hand."

"Try to lift it up."

Han Shu pretended to raise his hand with difficulty, but couldn't speak when he was halfway up.

Jiang Wan Ning started pressing down from her left shoulder.

"Does this hurt?"

"A bit."

"What about here?"

"good."

"What about this?"

"Ah... it hurts."

Jiang Wan Ning was speechless, pretending to be sick and didn't know how to pretend to be decent.

"It's okay. Just a word from your elders and your arm will be fine."

Han Shu's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp. Sir, it's not that my subordinates are uncooperative. It's because they don't know how to pretend to be sick because they can't lift their hands.

Gu Zhouting, who was eavesdropping outside the door, blushed. Was he discovered?

Jiang Wanning packed up the medicine box and left the room, and saw Gu Zhou standing outside the door with a cold face.

Jiang Wan Ning saved face for him: "Master Gu, Han Shu's injury is not serious. I'll take my leave first."

"Mrs. Jiang, stay here, I have something else to say to you."

"Sir, please speak."

Gu Zhouting said calmly: "I have prepared wine and food, why not talk while eating."

Jiang Wan Ning: "Let's talk here, I have to rush back."

Gu Zhou stopped and took away her medicine box, then handed it to Mo Yu, who quickly took it.

"Sir, you are..."

Gu Zhouting took her hand and left.

Jiang Wan Ning couldn't react for a moment. His expression was particularly serious today. Shouldn't he be the one with a guilty conscience when he tricked her into coming here?Why are you still giving her such a bad look?
Could it be that he came to her because of the Gubei case?Have bad news?
Jiang Wan Ning couldn't help but think about the bad side.

I forgot to throw away his hand.

Gu Zhouting was indeed feeling guilty at the moment. Now that she knew about the marriage proposal, would she think that he was anxious to get married and that she was not included in his plans for the rest of his life?
But he knew her temper, or Nan Zhi's temper to be precise. Most of the time, she would take soft rather than hard, but occasionally, it would be more effective to be tough.

Gu Zhouting took her to the study and sat her down on the stool before letting go.Shi Shiran walked to the seat opposite her and sat down.

Jiang Wan Ning was in a state of confusion. What kind of bad news made him so serious?
Gu Zhou stopped clenching his fists and coughed twice, then took a deep breath and said: "I don't know about the marriage proposal, but I have made it clear to my mother that there will be no marriage negotiation until the Gubei case is resolved."

Jiang Wan Ning: Uh...he is so serious and drags her here just to tell her this?
"grown ups……"

Gu Zhouting interrupted her, his eyes blazing and firm: "My mother has promised that it is up to me to decide who I want to marry in the future. She will not interfere and will only accept it."

Jiang Wan Ning's face turned red. What did he mean by this?Why would you say such a thing to her?Could it be that he was expressing his feelings to her?
