The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 231 Teasing

Qing Yu was the first to come back and said in a panic, "Uncle Hua, the princess has not gone to Mingyue Pavilion."

The people who went to inquire came back one after another: "Uncle Hua, the princess has not gone to the shop."

Hua Da frowned and said, "Where will the princess go? If you haven't taken a car, you won't be able to go far. Let's go to Taoyuan Street to search for her first."

Lu Ziqin turned to Ruxuan and said, "Go down and have someone go out to search for it."

Hua Da reminded: "I warn everyone to search in secret and don't make it public."

 Ruxuan bowed his body and responded.

Lu Ziqin was too anxious to sit still, "I'll go look for it too. Mr. Gu, we'll see you later."

Gu Dechang stood up and said, "I'll go too. Regardless of whether I find him or not, I'll send someone back in half an hour to report."

Hua Da said: "Mr. Gu is not familiar with the capital. You stay here and I will lead everyone to find him."

On the other side, Gu Huayu followed Shi Hegu to the Yamen. Shi Hegu arranged a car to take her off. Before leaving, Gu Huayu said: "I'm in trouble today. They seem to have some skills. You can arrest them first and I'll have someone come to interrogate them." Check to see who they are."

Shi Hegu looked sideways at Gu Huayu and asked, "Yanran, do you suspect they are coming for you?"

Gu Huayu didn't want to worry Shi Hegu, nor did she want to involve him, so she shook her head, "That's not true, I just want to be cautious."

Shi Hegu was young after all, so he didn’t think much about it and nodded, “Okay, ask your people to come find me later.”

Gu Huayu thanked her and got in the car.

Gu Huayu sat in the car, wondering who those people belonged to? British public? Liu's? Or who else?

After thinking wildly for a while, the coachman drove Gu Huayu to the gate of Gu's house in Wutong Lane. After getting off the car, Gu Huayu gave the coachman a gold lock.

 The coachman thanked him profusely.

When the porter saw Gu Huayu coming back, he cheered and shouted into the courtyard: "The princess is back."

 Gu Dechang limped towards the door quickly. When he saw Gu Huayu, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaoyu, you are finally back."

After receiving the letter in the backyard, Mrs. Wang, Wanshi and others came out with Mrs. Ping in their arms, "Come back Yanran! Where have you been? Everyone is so anxious."

 When Gu Huayu saw Gu Chengjuan, she understood instantly.

He said with a smile: "I'm sorry for making everyone worried. I haven't gone shopping for a long time, and today I wanted to go shopping on a whim, but ended up going a little far, all the way to the East Water Gate area.

I met my third cousin in Dongshuimen, and it was he who arranged the car to take me back. "

"Wandering to Dongshuimen? Isn't that a bit far? That's quite far," Mrs. Wang took over.

Mrs. Ping took the words and said, "Just come back safely. If you want to go out in the future, remember to tell us so that everyone won't worry."

Gu Huayu Fushen said: "Yes, Yanran has written it down."

Mrs. Wang asked, "Yanran hasn't eaten yet? Will someone serve you a meal?"

Gu Huayu agreed happily, "Okay, thank you, aunt. I'll go back to the room and change clothes first."

Gu Huayu glanced at Hua Da, who took two steps forward.

Gu Huayu confessed in a low voice: "Go to the Yamen on the 4th Road of Dongshuimen to look for Shi Hegu. Examine the people who are causing trouble for me today and see who is behind them?"

 The flowers are so big that I can't bear to do anything.

Gu Huayu changed her clothes and had lunch, chatted with Mrs. Ping and the others before returning to her small courtyard.

 Enter the room and saw Lu Ziqin sitting on the soft couch, looking towards the door.

When Lu Ziqin saw Gu Huayu coming back, he stood up and walked towards her. He took her hand and looked up and down, then asked, "Are you hurt?"

As soon as Gu Huayu heard this, she knew that he knew what happened in the morning. Shaking his head, "No, I carry a silver needle with me. A few thieves can't hurt me."

"Next time you go out, you must take someone with you. Don't be alone, you know?" Lu Ziqin asked with lingering fear.

 Gu Huayu was also frightened for a while. She was in a bad mood today and her attention was all on random thoughts. She didn't even notice when those people followed her.

 If those people had attacked her on the street, she might have died at this time.

“Yes, I will take Qingyu and the others with me when I go out from now on, and I will no longer travel alone.”

The two of them walked to the soft couch and sat down. Lu Ziqin asked, "Who is the other party? Have you found out?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, I just asked Uncle Hua to check. Are you here to visit grandma today?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, I wanted to talk to the old lady, but as soon as I sat down, Miss Gu Er hurried in and said something happened to you."

Gu Huayu laughed and said, "Second sister always talks like this."

Lu Ziqin held Gu Huayu's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Miss Gu Er is not wrong."

Seeing Lu Ziqin's seriousness, Gu Huayu immediately changed her words and said, "I'm sorry, Second Sister, I'm right, I was careless. I promise that I will never make the same mistake in the future. How do you know those people?"

Gu Huayu quickly changed the topic.

Lu Ziqin's face softened a lot, "On Jingsi Road in Dongshuimen, there is a branch of Chang'an Restaurant near the government office where Shi Hegu works. After learning that you could not be found, I asked people to notify the restaurants and ask everyone to go out and inquire. information."

Gu Huayu admired: "They are very prompt. I just got home and you received the letter."

Lu Ziqin turned his head to look at Gu Huayu and asked, "Miss Gu Er said you were listless and didn't sleep well last night?"

Gu Huayu said vaguely: "Yes, I didn't go to bed until late at night."

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and pinched Gu Huayu's face, and asked, "What are you busy with? You have to rest so late. Hua Da said that there was no discussion last night."

Gu Huayu avoided Lu Ziqin's gaze and replied casually: "I'm not busy with anything. I'm just thinking wildly. The more I think about it, the less sleepy I feel."

Seeing that Gu Huayu didn’t want to say more, Lu Ziqin didn’t ask any more questions, so he asked instead, “Do you have a headache?”

Gu Huayu lowered her head and looked at the hands held by the two of them, shook her head and said, "It's okay, my head doesn't hurt."

Lu Ziqin said: "We won't go to the south of the city today. You can have a rest and recuperate. We will go to Shi Mansion for a banquet tomorrow."

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Lu Ziqin, and asked with some reluctance: "What about you? Are you going back now?"

"What? Do you want me to stay with you?" Lu Ziqin asked with a smile.

Gu Huayu nodded, but felt that she was not reserved enough, so she quickly shook her head. But she really didn't want him to leave. Having him in the house would make her feel much more at ease.

 Gu Huayu was attached to him, which made Lu Ziqin elated. He squeezed Gu Huayu's hand and said, "You go to bed. I'll just read here and stay with you, okay?"

Gu Huayu smiled with her eyebrows arched, "Okay."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "Good boy, go to sleep. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay here to watch over you."

Gu Huayu went to the back room with peace of mind.

Lv Ziqin stood up and took out the book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the cabinet and put them on the desk nearby. He then brought the teacup on the low table next to the soft couch and then sat down and started reading.

At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Peiyun was sitting in the pavilion of the small courtyard, listening to the servant's report, "Miss, Kuang Jiu and the others missed the target. At this time, I was invited in by people from the east city government office."

Wang Peiyun had a sullen face and said nothing.

Mammy Guan looked at Wang Peiyun and said to the servant: "Miss, I know, you go down first."

 The servant bowed and stepped back.

Aunt Guan stepped forward to pour tea for Wang Peiyun and said comfortingly: "Miss, don't worry, the Kuangjiu people are smart and won't betray us. It's just a scene of naughty teasing a woman. At most, it will be a slap in the face, and it will be released soon." "

Wang Peiyun shook his head. "I'm not worried about this. The person who contacted Kuang Jiu has left Beijing. Even if Kuang Jiu confesses, we won't be able to find him."

Grandma Guan pushed the teacup towards Wang Peiyun, "Miss, you are right. What is Miss worried about?"

Wang Peiyun picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, and then said quietly: "I underestimated her. Even five grown men can't do anything to her. This person should not be underestimated."

Grandma Guan lowered her hands and responded: "Yes, we must be more careful in the future."

Wang Peiyun looked up at Aunt Guan and asked, "Is there any movement over there at Lu Liu?"

Grandma Guan replied: "Yes, Mr. Liu went to Wutong Lane today."

Wang Peiyun sneered, "He is really infatuated. This time he failed and started the second plan. Go ahead and tell them to be more careful. She is not as harmless as she appears. This woman has a deep scheming mind."

Mammy Guan bowed and said, "Yes, I will give you the instructions right now."

 “Miss, madam is here.” The servant came in to report.

Wang Peiyun immediately stood up and went out to greet her, and met Ms. Cui at the door. After greeting her, Wang Peiyun let Ms. Cui into the house.

“Why does mother have so much free time today?” Wang Peiyun asked with a smile.

Mrs. Cui looked at the steward, who took the servant down.

The smile on Wang Peiyun's face froze and she asked: "What about mother?"

Ms. Cui asked with a straight face: "You girl, you are getting more and more courageous. Who told you to instigate people to touch that girl of the Gu family? You are a girl, and your family's reputation is very important. Don't you know? A Niang's words , why don’t you listen?”

Wang Peiyun lowered his head and said nothing.

Ms. Cui said in a deep voice: "Are you mute? Speak!"

Wang Peiyun raised his head and glanced at Cui, and whispered: "I can't bear this tone, I want her to pay the price..."

Before Wang Peiyun could finish speaking, Ms. Cui slapped the table and said, "Nonsense! I talked to you so much that day, I bet you didn't even listen to a word!"

 “My daughter hates in her heart…”

Ms. Cui interrupted the two Wangs: "What can hate do? Hatred can only destroy you. Stop it now, do you understand?"

Wang Peiyun lowered his head and said nothing and did not answer.

After the mother and daughter had a confrontation, Ms. Cui sighed and said, "My mother-in-law told you that you should be your young lady and I would leave the matter of revenge to my mother-in-law. Why can't you listen?"

Wang Peiyun raised his head and looked at Mrs. Cui, "It's been a long time, but I haven't seen my mother take action."

Mrs. Cui said: "I don't know who you are like with your impatience. My mother didn't take action because the time has not come yet. What result did you achieve by taking action in a hurry?"

 “Aniang!”

Ms. Cui waved her hand and said, "You must be obedient and don't cause trouble to the family. The family will protect you and will not let you suffer in vain."

Wang Peiyun looked at Ms. Cui with sour eyes, "I thought you only had family interests at heart and wouldn't care about my thoughts."

Mrs. Cui said: "Okay, take the people back. If you can't bear it, don't go to the banquet hosted by Shi Mansion tomorrow."

Wang Peiyun raised his head stubbornly, "No, my daughter is going."

Ms. Cui sighed and said, "Go ahead and follow me. Don't wander around."

 “Sixth Master!”

Lu Ziqin turned to look at the door and saw Lonicera coming in with clothes in his arms.

Lu Ziqin raised his hand to look at his watch. Unknowingly, more than half an hour had passed.

Lu Ziqin looked at the clothes in Lonicera's hand and asked, "Are these newly made clothes?"

Ling Dong bent her knees and responded, "Yes, I am going to Shi Mansion to go to Yan tomorrow. Shi Niang asked the slave to bring the clothes over and let the princess choose a few."

Lu Ziqin pointed to the soft couch and said softly: "Xiaoyu is still taking a nap, so you put the clothes on the soft couch and choose slowly when she wakes up."

 Landong put his clothes on the soft couch, leaned forward and left.

As soon as Liandong came out of Gu Huayu's yard, he saw Miss Shi San coming towards her. She secretly thought something bad, so she hurriedly bent her knees and said, "Hello, Miss Cousin."

Shi Yamei heard what Shi Hegu said about Gu Huayu, and felt uneasy, so she hurried over.

Shi Yamei's mind was on Gu Huayu, and she didn't notice Lingdong's panic, so she asked, "Where is Xiaoyu? Is she in the courtyard?"

Ling Dong lowered his head and replied: "The princess didn't sleep well last night. She went out for a long walk in the morning and is still taking a lunch break. The princess is a light sleeper and will wake up at the slightest noise. Third Miss, please come and sit in the flower hall." "

Shi Yamei looked at the small courtyard and said, "I'm just a little worried, so I came over to take a look. Since Xiaoyu is taking a lunch break, I won't disturb him. I'll go say hello to my aunt and uncle and then go back home."

Ling Dong breathed a sigh of relief, bent her knees and said, "Thank you, Miss Cousin. Please come with me, Miss Cousin."

After sending Shi Yamei away, Liandong was afraid that people would come into the small courtyard and bump into Lu Ziqin, so he returned to the sitting room in the small courtyard to guard him.

Soon, Gu Chengjuan came to visit Gu Huayu, but Rendong sent her back with the same reason.

Gu Huayu slept until Shenshi, when she came out and saw Lu Ziqin immersed in writing. He walked over and asked, "Writing an article?"

Lu Ziqin raised his head to look at Gu Huayu, put down his pen and said, "Are you awake? No, just a note. On the table is the sour plum soup brought in by Lonicera."

Gu Huayu walked to the table, picked up the sour plum soup and took a few sips.

Hearing Gu Huayu’s voice, Liandong brought the food in and said, “Princess, it’s time to eat.”

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, put it on."

Landong told Gu Huayu while setting the meal that Shi Yamei and Gu Chengjuan had been here during her nap.

 After Lonicera retreated, Gu Huayu and Lu Ziqin had dinner together.

After dinner, Lu Ziqin was drinking tea with Gu Huayu when Liao Dong came in and said, "Princess, Uncle Hua is back. I want to ask the princess if she has some free time."

Gu Huayu said: "Invite Uncle Hua in."

Hua Da entered Gu Huayu's small courtyard and saw Lu Ziqin there. He bowed and said politely: "Princess, the sixth master."

Gu Huayu motioned for Hua to sit down and asked, "Has the trial come out?"

Hua Da bowed and said: "These five people are gangsters in the west area of ​​the city, headed by Kuangjiu Kuangjiu, who usually hang out in gambling houses, brothels and other places. Because they are tall, they work as thugs for others.

A few days ago, a man named Shi Lei contacted Kuang Jiu and asked them to tease the princess in public and ruin her reputation. After the incident was completed, they would be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

Kuang Jiu and the others thought that teasing a little girl would be an easy task, so they took the initiative.

I sent someone to check on Shi Lei. When I arrived at Shi Lei's residence, no one was found. The house was in a mess and it looked like he had escaped.
