Chapter 65 Gratitude?

Shen Guiyan felt sweet in her heart, but she nodded very calmly on her face: "Okay."

"That's good." Gu Chaobei smiled and kissed her forehead, then turned and walked out.

After Shen Guiyan watched him leave, she turned around and planned to go back.But thinking that Gu Chaodong was still in the north courtyard, Shen Guiyan frowned, and simply asked the passing servant to go back and ask Bao Shan to come out, or go out for a walk with her.

Unexpectedly, just after leaving the Gu residence, she met a very unexpected person.

Press this end first and don't say anything, first look at Shen Guiya's side.Yesterday the north courtyard was lively in the afternoon, she ran out of the mansion all the way, she was alone, she didn't even bring the jade comb, and only let the servants send her to the Youyuan Inn.

What kind of place is Youyuan Inn?Eat in the lobby, talk in the wing room on the second floor, and the guest room on the third floor.There are few people coming and going, but they are all distinguished guests.

Today she had already invited Yuwen Houde to have a meal and talk, Han Jiangxue knew about it, but that silly woman still agreed, said a lot of good things about Shen Guiya, and pushed her husband away.

Yuwen Houde is a good man, and he has been single-minded since he married the Han family.But Shen Guiya was well prepared for coming out today. Not only did she wear a low-cut long skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, but she also took off the cloak outside, and the robe inside was also light in tulle.The makeup used on the face is very delicate, and every frown and smile is full of various styles.

"Lord Yuwen."

Yuwen Houde looked away uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "Madam Gu, what's the matter today?"

Shen Guiya smiled, closed the door at the back, and sat beside him holding a box.

When talking about things normally, you should sit opposite each other.Yuwen Houde raised his eyebrows to watch her move, and inadvertently saw her revealing a large piece of scenery, and straightened his face: "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Ask knowingly.Shen Guiya smiled charmingly, handed the box to him, and said: "If you want something, naturally you have to send something to please the adults."

Fortunately, although Shen Guiya's body doesn't look very good, her body is good enough. As long as she has a career line, why can't she do anything properly?
Originally, she wanted to do things for Gu Chaodong, but seeing the scene in the North Courtyard today, she felt that she could help Gu Chaodong up if she could. If she couldn't, then she'd better find someone else.What's the use of a man who doesn't care about her?She always wants to find a way out for herself.

And the Lord Yuwen in front of him is a very good way out.

Yuwen Houde glanced at her again, opened the box first, and found a sword pendant inside.He just got a new sword, which just happened to lack such a pendant decoration, and Shen Guiya was able to give it just right.

The pendant is red, with a delicate mandarin duck knot on it, and an East China Sea pearl is hung on it, one can tell that the person who gave it was very careful.

"Madam is really good at picking things." Yuwen Houde's face softened a lot.

Shen Guiya chuckled, Han said this casually, Yuwen Houde always felt that he was underappreciated, and the person he liked most was someone who could cater to his wishes.

"As long as your lord likes it." Shen Guiya took the opportunity to drink tea and said, "My lord, please..."

The tea in her hand was placed at the elbow of Yuwen Houde, and when he raised his hand a little, the cup of lukewarm tea was overturned and flowed down her chest.

"Oh!" Shen Guiya screamed.

Yuwen Houde hastily took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her: "I didn't mean it, didn't you hurt me?"

Shen Guiya let him wipe it for a while, then raised her head to look at him with a blushing face, the water in her eyes was rippling, and Yuwen Houde swallowed subconsciously.

"It hurts a bit." Shen Guiya gently pulled down the tube top, and snuggled into Yuwen Houde's arms: "Look, my lord, it's burnt..."

You would be a fool if you don't understand Yuwen Houde, it just so happens that this place is also well found, he can go upstairs to see the injury when he picks up someone.

At that time, Mrs. Han was still making sword pendants at home, waiting happily for Yuwen Houde to return, thinking of giving him a surprise.However, Shen Guiya used all the hobbies about Yuwen Houde that he had inquired about from the Han family, and tried his best to immerse him in the gentle country.

Sometimes, bad guys really can't be good.

Gu Chaodong stood in the north courtyard overnight, and no one would know if Shen Guiya didn't go back.I don't know how many times I have been upside down in Youyuan Inn. When I left, Yuwen Houde looked at Shen Guiya with tenderness in his eyes: "Just wait, I will arrange for you to meet the general as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sir." Shen Guiya smiled innocently and cutely.

"Yan'er." Standing outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bao Shi saw Shen Guiyan coming out, and hurriedly greeted her.

Shen Guiyan looked at her in surprise.Why did Bao Shi come here?
Ever since Shen Shiqing's official seal was confiscated, hasn't the Bao family been locked up in the ancestral hall?She heard some wind, but didn't care about it.She doesn't have the kindness to help people who have been treating her harshly for so many years.

"What's wrong with mother?"

Bao was a little embarrassed, his face was quite old, he rubbed his hands and looked at her and said: "Your father's official seal has never been given, and he didn't even go to court. It is said that the fourth young master is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, Can you help to get the official seal back?"

Shen Guiyan bowed to her: "Mother, you personally took the official seal to the Yamen to kill the refugees. Later, he offended the emperor, so the emperor personally accepted father's official seal. Now Yan'er is powerless to get it back. "

"How can you be helpless?" Bao said with a flattering smile, "You have always been smart, and you are born with a good fortune, so you will definitely be able to help. Just ask the emperor."

"Why didn't mother ask for it herself?" Shen Guiyan smiled: "Father has not been dismissed, and you are still a married woman. With the connections you have in the past, it may not be difficult to enter the palace."

Bao's face froze, she was afraid that the emperor would blame her if she thought of it, how dare she go to the palace to ask for an official seal?Master Shen has ignored her for a long time now, and if he doesn't take back his official seal, he is afraid that she will be divorced.

"Yan'er..." It was rare for her to be so submissive, and she had already endured it before she came: "I was not good enough for you before, but you are from the Shen family anyway, do you really have the heart to see your father lose his official position?"

"If father was an official with all his heart, he would not have given his official seal to mother." Shen Guiyan said: "Now that he has been taken away, Yan'er doesn't feel the need to come back. If the emperor misses his father, he can still be this son , will return of course.”

Bao's smile paused, but he couldn't help but sullen his face: "The Shen family has raised you for more than ten years. Now that you are married well, you can ignore the life and death of your family? If you didn't offend me first, I would let you Are people going to arrest refugees? If you didn't eat inside and outside, would the master let me take the official seal to go to the Yamen? Will the emperor take it away again? In the end, it's all your fault, but now you have picked it clean!"

Shen Guiyan looked up at her, and chuckled lightly: "Mother thinks it's my fault?"

"Otherwise, whose fault is it?" After all, Bao couldn't help it anymore, and his ferocious face was revealed again: "If Ya'er hadn't arranged the marriage for you back then, how could you have married so well? It's fine if you don't want to be grateful ,return……"

"En?" Shen Guiyan smiled and took a step towards Bao Shi: "Mother thinks that you and Guiya are kind to me?"

There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as needles.Bao Shi took a step back in fright, and looked at her with some horror.

Shen Guiyan couldn't stop laughing: "Guiya deceived me time and time again, taking things from me since childhood, even with my fiancé, robbing my husband-in-law on the wedding day. Is that right?"

"You bullied Aunt Qin, allowing her to be carried and thrown into the pool by Gui Ya in the middle of the night, without giving a word of justice. Is that right?"

"In order to prevent my big marriage, I gave Aunt Qin arsenic, so that her death will be unknown, is that gracious?"

Bao's face turned pale with shock, he stared at her and said, "You...you are talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense." Shen Guiyan nodded: "Yes, without evidence, I'm just talking nonsense."

"But mother, remember it well, Yan'er will never forget the lessons you and Guiya taught." Shen Guiyan took a deep breath, her eyes were a little red: "One day, I don't need to pursue these past things , naturally there are other ways to make people pay with blood!"

Bao backed back again and again, flicked his sleeves and said, "Who are you scaring with these words...I am your mother, if you are rebellious, you will not end well."

Shen Guiyan regained her composure, and seeing that Bao Shi had returned to the side of the sedan chair, she saluted and said, "Mom, let's go."

Mrs. Bao looked at her with some fear, he didn't care about asking her to return her official seal, and hurriedly boarded the sedan chair and left.

"It's so powerful." A person came out from the back of the mansion, and said twice, "Scared everyone away."

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was Xu Zhuangzhou.

It's been a long time since I saw him when Xu Mengdie rescued him last time.Shen Guiyan restrained her anger, looked at him and said, "Why are you here?"

"The villain is going to help Mrs. Zhou." Xu Zhuangzhou smiled frankly: "Recently, the fourth young lady has been in a lot of troubles, and Mrs. Zhou has been helping me."

Shen Guiyan was arranging Master Zhou's opening of the school, but he has been so busy recently that he has not taken it into consideration for a long time.

"How did you know Master Zhou?"

Xu Zhuangzhou said generously: "I met by accident. The master said I was smart, but it's a pity that I didn't learn martial arts since I was a child. Young madam is free today, do you want to go to the school?"

Shen Guiyan's eyes lit up: "Okay."

It's time to go and see how it goes.

After getting into the sedan chair, Baoshan took an extra look at Xu Zhuangzhou.This person appeared out of nowhere, a little suspicious.But it's Aunt Xu's younger brother, and he is kind to others in the mansion, and has a good reputation, so he shouldn't have any bad intentions.

Miss likes to use spare money to do good deeds, and the opening of the school can also relieve her boredom, which Baoshan thinks is a good thing.So I told the bearer the address, and followed the sedan chair to Master Zhou's school.

Above the court hall, the emperor was listening to the old minister's advice. The Prime Minister Gu who was in front of him had already typed out the manuscript for a long time. When he was waiting for nothing, he immediately stood up and said: "The minister has something to say."
