Gu Nan grabbed Ruhua who almost fell out of the carriage, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Chen Li's panicked voice came from outside.
"Back to you girl, our car hit a dog."
a dog?
Gu Nan opened the car door and looked out.
Chen Li was holding a puppy in his arms. Its snow-white hair looked as if it had been coated with oil, making it very dazzling in the sun.
The dog lay motionless in Chen Li's arms, looking at Gu Nan pitifully with its round eyes.
"What a beautiful puppy."
Gu Nan liked it almost immediately.
"Is it injured? Is the owner here?"
Chen Li shook his head, "The little man was not driving very fast. This dog suddenly jumped out of nowhere and hit the front of our car."
As soon as he finished speaking, the puppy started struggling in his arms, making a snorting sound from its nose, and seemed a little unhappy.
Gu Nan stretched out his hand, "Give it to me first, and then go find its owner nearby."
She took the puppy and checked it first to make sure there was no injury on the dog. Then she rubbed its furry head and asked softly, "Are you frightened?"
The dog seemed to enjoy her touch. It rubbed Gu Nan with its furry head and closed its eyes to rest.
Ruhua said in surprise: "Girl, this dog likes you very much. Didn't you just say you wanted to get a dog a few days ago? Why don't we get it?"
Gu Nan said: "This dog has no stray hairs at all, it looks very precious, and it must have an owner.
I'm afraid that if we want to raise her, others may not be willing to part with her. "
Before he finished speaking, Chen Li came back.
"The little man asked around but couldn't find the dog owner."
Gu Nan had no choice but to take the dog back to the house first. Leave a message at a nearby store. If the dog owner comes looking for it, you can go to the Hou Mansion.
At the corner not far away, Ping An watched Gu Nan's carriage leave and quickly ran up to the teahouse.
The window on the second floor was open. Xiao Yan sat in front of the window, drinking and drinking, and witnessed what happened on the street.
Ping An reported, "Ms. Gu also left a message, saying that if anyone is looking for the dog, they can go to the Marquis Mansion."
Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ping An tsked softly, "Prince Xie looked at such a talented person and acted so ridiculously that he actually rented a house to support his wife in the name of Madam Gu.
I just felt sorry for Mrs. Gu. No wonder the prince had guessed a few days ago that Mrs. Gu had thoughts of reconciliation.
A family like this would set people on fire today and be dragged to the Yamen tomorrow. How could someone as delicate as Mrs. Gu endure this? "
Xiao Yan stroked his wine glass and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"She was not dragged into the drama at the Yamen today."
"What do you mean?" Ping An's clever eyes rolled, "Your Majesty, you mean that today's scene was designed by Madam Gu?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
Ping An was so shocked that he could stuff an egg into his mouth.
"Real or false? How did the prince know?"
Xiao Yan didn't answer, remembering the previous situation when Gu Nan had to deal with Xie Heng's rape, his calmness was trembling and panicked.
Today, she was exceptionally calm in the courtroom. There was sadness and hatred in her eyes, but there was no panic.
He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, unable to help but chuckle.
"Know yourself and your enemy. If you don't take action, you'll be fine. Once you take action, you'll be able to hold it by seven inches. When you were a child, you were innocent and naive, but when you grow up, you've developed a keen eye."
Ping An scratched his head, "Since the prince has seen Madam Gu's plan, why didn't he help her make the decision?"
Xiao Yan glared at him.
"This is a family matter in the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion. If I intervene directly, nonsense will definitely be spread among others."
Ping Ping said, "I understand. Your Majesty is reluctant to take care of your wife's reputation."
Xiao Yan raised his foot and kicked him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is my savior, and I am just repaying my kindness."
Ping An rolled his eyes toward the sky.
Again, repaying a favor.
Ever since I was a child, I have never seen the prince be so interested in a woman.
"You go to a few censors and suggest that they will write a letter to impeach Xie Heng for his lack of personal ethics tomorrow morning."
"And the owner of the house in Jifu Lane, please go and deal with the aftermath. Don't let anyone find out that this matter is related to her."
Ping An made a long sound.
"I gave away tens of thousands of taels of frost-flowered harrier, and now I have to help replenish the firewood and clean up the mess. The prince's repayment is really expensive and thoughtful."
Xiao Yan glanced at him and snorted coldly.
"If you keep blabbering, go back to your house and clean the toilet."
Ping An patted his butt and retreated.
The entrance to the Wenchang Hou Mansion.
Xie Heng helped Princess Huaiyang out of the carriage, followed by Meng Yunshang, who was aggrieved and had red and swollen eyes.
Compared to how energetic they were when they went to the Yamen, the three of them all looked very tired now.
Xie Heng raised his head and looked at Gu Nan who was getting off the carriage behind him.
The bright red brocade floor-length skirt made her tall and slender, and the sunlight coated her with a layer of gold, making her look noble and elegant.
She was holding a fluffy puppy in her arms, and her expression was calm and calm. She didn't look embarrassed at all as she had just returned from the Yamen. She looked as if she had just gone shopping.
He glanced at it a few more times.
Gu Nan didn't seem to notice his gaze, so she lifted her skirt and went up the steps.
When he reached the gate, he suddenly turned his head and looked over, bending his knees slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for accompanying me to the Yamen today. I promised my mother-in-law before I went there. When I come back, whether Meng will go through the front door or the side door, everything will be decided by my mother-in-law and the Crown Prince."
Her clear almond eyes swept over Princess Huaiyang and Xie Heng.
"Mother-in-law, Your Majesty, do you want the Meng family to go through the main entrance?"
These words were like a loud slap on Princess Huaiyang's face, showing how ridiculous it was for her to fight for Meng Yunshang to enter through the front door.
The corners of her mouth trembled again and again, and she felt anger filling her entire chest. She gritted her teeth in hatred and slapped Meng Yunshang again.
"You despicable thing, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get in through the side door."
"And the red clothes you are wearing, take them off for me quickly. A concubine can't wear bright red."
She fell on the same side of her face twice, and the left side of Meng Yunshang's face became swollen.
She looked at Xie Heng while sobbing, and called Heng Lang in aggrieved tone.
Xie Heng was also upset and had no time to coax her.
"Yun Shang, please go in first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it in the evening."
Meng Yunshang could only cover her face in grievance, lowered her head and went in through the side door.
As soon as he entered, Xie Qiaoyu came up to him and shouted happily:
"Welcome to the new sister-in-law."
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly salute the new young lady?"
She waved her hand and loudly ordered the servants kneeling in two rows on both sides.
These were the people who had been punished by Gu Nan and knelt down. After hearing Xie Qiaoyu's words, they all kowtowed and saluted.
They shouted in unison: "Greetings to the new young lady, I wish the prince and the new young lady a happy marriage for a hundred years and eternal unity."
Xie Qiaoyu looked at Gu Nan with a proud face, waiting to see Gu Nan's face turned pale with anger.
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Gu Nan looked at Xie Qiaoyu with a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth.
