Chapter 5 My name is Song Jingzhang, remember it!
  In the dimness, the man's eyes were like swords on a winter night, with a chilling light, "Do you understand?"

She knew that this man was talking about her deliberately seducing Marquis Yong'an during the day.

I don’t know when he got on the boat or how much he saw.
  The idea of ​​luck in my heart turned into nothingness in an instant.
  She had no doubt that if she made any move, the hand holding her chin would break her neck in the next moment.

"I understand, slave. From now on, I will definitely keep myself safe and abide by women's ways." After finishing speaking intermittently, the hand moved away.

There is a dull pain in my chin, I guess it must be red.
  Without allowing her to think too much, the man pulled her onto the bed and pulled her pajamas up with his hands.

"The slave family doesn't know my name yet." Gu Wanyu stretched out her hand to stop his movements.

The man ignored her, and only pulled her clothes slightly roughly.
  What happens next is out of her control.
  The bed tent swayed, and compared to the previous time, the man's movements this time were obviously more intense, with a fierce smell that made her unable to care about anything else.

After she finished, she was extremely tired, half asleep and about to fall asleep, when a hoarse voice sounded in her ears,

"My name is Song Jingzhang. Remember it."

The next morning,
  When Gu Wanyu woke up, Song Jingzhang was no longer around him.
  If the pain all over her body hadn't reminded her, she would have almost thought that everything that happened last night was a dream.

"Miss, are you awake?" Xiaohuan's voice came from outside at the right time,

"Come in." Gu Wanyu thought for a while and didn't intend to hide it from her.

With two "squeaks", the door opened and then closed. Xiaohuan came in with a basin, intending to help her wash up.

Bu Chengxiang saw the red marks on her body, and his face instantly lit up.
  "Miss, is this the Marquis?"

"No."

"No?!" Xiaohuan's eyes widened, "Then, this, this, this..."

Gu Wanyu glanced at her lightly, then went to wash herself.

Xiaohuan stared blankly until she finished applying facial makeup in front of the bronze mirror and looked back, then she finally came back to her senses.

"Young lady has a unique vision, she must have spotted something good," she said, stepping forward to dress her up. "Besides, if you can come with the Marquis, you must be a high-ranking official in the capital. If you are a young talent who has not yet married, In the future... it will be better than the Marquis Mansion with many wives and concubines."

The inquiring intention in his words couldn't be more obvious.
  Gu Wanyu frowned,
  She only knows a name,

But since Song Jingzhang said it specifically, he shouldn't use a false name to trick her.

"Song" is the country's surname, and he came with Marquis Yong'an. It's unclear which royal family he is from.

I'm going to Beijing, so there's no harm in asking around quietly.

But there is no need to explain these to Xiaohuan.

He just said: "If you see Du Yueniang's people again in the future, you should stay away from them, and don't openly conflict with them."

"Miss, don't worry, slave, don't worry."

At almost the same moment, in the Yong'an Hou room on the third floor of Huafang,

The extremely noble Marquis Yong'an was now lowering his hands to apologize, and carefully glanced at Song Jingzhang's expression,
  "I don't dare to deceive His Highness. The account books are indeed here."

Song Jingzhang flipped through two more pages of the account book in his hand, then threw it back on the table and tapped it with his finger.
  "Of course I belong to the Marquis of Xinyong An, but..."

Marquis Yong'an was overjoyed when he heard the previous sentence, but Song Jingzhang changed the topic again, and his heart that had just been relieved a little suddenly picked up again.

"But everyone knows about the salt policy. Yangzhou is a prosperous place. The accounts in this account book alone are not convincing. It's hard to say whether Father will believe it or not."

Song Jingzhang looked at him with a half-smile, "I remind Marquis Yong'an, never go too far in anything."

Marquis Yong'an's hand trembled visibly, "Chen...Wei Chen suddenly remembered that there was another account book for his servant. The situation was urgent at that time, so he ordered him to take it first. He accidentally forgot it. "      said, winking at the confidant standing behind him, "Li Gui, go and ask the senior management to send over the account book."

He turned around and smiled again, "I would also like to thank the Third Highness for the reminder."

"There is no need to be polite to Marquis Yong'an about some minor matters."

There was no words in the room for a while.
  Not long after, Li Gui came back holding the account book.

Marquis Yong'an took it and presented it with his own hands.

Song Jingzhang took it and flipped through it. After confirming that there was no big problem with the book, he put it down and didn't mention it.
  Seeing that there was nothing unusual about his expression, Marquis Yongan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to His Highness's decisive victory over Thousand Miles and his private visit incognito, we were able to successfully find these accounts and evidence. After returning to the capital, I made a secret statement detailing His Highness's contribution."

Song Jingzhang looked indifferent, "If it weren't for Marquis Yong'an to confuse these corrupt officials, it might not have been so smooth. This time, Marquis Yong'an also contributed a lot."

"Hey, it's all because of His Highness's good plan, so that the humble ministers can follow suit and make meritorious deeds."

"You and I are all working for His Majesty, so there is no need to be polite to each other."

"Hahaha, that's what His Highness said."

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask Your Highness." Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had calmed down again, Marquis Yong'an pretended to think of something suddenly.
  "Do you want to continue to hide His Highness's identity? I am thinking that now I have to return to Beijing, and there are all my own people on the ship. Besides, Miss Yu Niang..."

As he was talking with a smile, he unexpectedly looked up and saw Song Jingzhang staring at him with a cold face. He felt like his throat was being strangled and he didn't dare to say any more.

"as always."

"Yes, yes." Marquis Yong'an wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and watched Song Jingzhang strode away.

Then he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped down on the chair.

"Master Marquis, this Third Highness is too harsh. This kind of thing has been commonplace in officialdom for a long time. Why do you still..."

Li Gui watched the whole process and couldn't help but speak out to defend his master.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Marquis Yong'an scolding him, "What do you know?"

Marquis Yong'an turned his head and glared at him fiercely,
  "This trip to Yangzhou is very important to His Majesty. It is different from the past. His Majesty is willing to remind you as a good intention."

"It seems that although our Third Highness does not come from a noble family, he has a lot of talent and is capable."

"Let's see, this time I return to Beijing, maybe with this merit, I can be sealed..."

Marquis Yong'an was deep in thought, as if he was thinking about something in his mind. He turned around and ordered again:
  "Please ask me to take more care of that thin horse, and ask Yueniang to stay out of the way, but don't do it too conspicuously."

"Yes, I understand."

Li Gui turned around and wanted to go down to make arrangements.

He was stopped by the Marquis of Yong'an again.
  "By the way, what should be dealt with should be cleaned up quickly. Don't leave any clues."

Looking at the fierce light in Marquis Yong'an's eyes,

Even though he had been a master and servant for many years, Li Gui still felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his back, and he quickly lowered his head, "Yes!"

Gu Wanyu was tired and did not leave the house all day because of Song Jingzhang's warning.

Just after dinner, Xiaohuan came to report in a hurry.
  "Miss, miss, the executive is dead!"
