Su Rong also saw the group of people, three women and two men, one of whom she knew. She thought that she didn't read the almanac when she went out today. Although the prefect of Jiangning was a personage, there was still a governor above him. Jiangning County was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jiangzhou, and she He once had an affair with Jiang Yunying, a young lady from Jiangzhou Governor's Office.

If Jiang Yunying couldn't be taken care of in Jiangzhou, why would she come to Jiangning?

Su Rong felt that she might not be able to avoid it today, so she stretched out her hand and tugged on Zhou Gu's sleeve, "Zhou Gu."

Zhou Gu was a little uncomfortable with Su Rong being so close to him, talking and pulling her sleeves, but seeing her face wrinkled, he still asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Su Rong glanced over there and said, "Did you see over there? That group of people was looking at us. The woman in the yellow dress among them, I have some issues with her. I'm afraid she's going to cause trouble for me today."

Zhou Gu is the least afraid of trouble, "Are you afraid of her?"

Su Rong shook her head, "I'm not afraid, but her father is Jiang Sheng, the governor of Jiangzhou."

Zhou Gu understood, "Is it possible for a senior official to crush someone to death?"

"Yeah. My father is a junior official, so I can't use it against her."

Zhou Gugang wanted to say, "If your father were to become a powerful official, what would you do with him?", but looking at her thin arms and legs, he guessed that it was just a curse, right? A soft girl like her shouldn't be able to be aggressive, unlike those powerful ladies in the capital who beat people up. Is she just making excuses? But the way she behaves is probably gentle and gentle, almost like tickling someone.

He asked: "What festival? Is it big?"

"It's a bit big." Su Rong whispered: "Three years ago, his fiancé fell in love with me and went to her house to find her to break off the engagement. She hated me afterwards."

Zhou Gu: "..."

"How old were you three years ago?"

"I'm twelve."

Zhou Gu frowned, "You didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone, did you?"

"No." Su Rong felt wronged, "I have a young master from the Protector's Palace as my fiancé. Why would I want to provoke others if I have no idea? The fiancé of the legitimate daughter of the governor, although his lintel is a little higher, but I can’t even lift shoes as well as yours.”

Zhou Gu was amused, pulled out his sleeves, looked at her, raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you, it turns out it's because of my family's high status."

Su Rong looked like "Isn't it right?", "I haven't seen you, and I can't do it for you first."

This statement cannot be refuted.

Zhou Gu snorted, "Then don't you think you are not worthy of me?"

Su Rong thought to herself. Sure enough, in the high-end compound, everyone pays attention to those who are well-matched. Zhou Gu dislikes her background. She nodded honestly, "I think so, but can I refuse the engagement made by the old Duke?"

Zhou Gu was blocked, this was true, even he couldn't refuse his grandfather.

He felt extremely unhappy, and just when he was about to say something else, he saw that the people over there were no longer boarding the boat, so they walked straight over, obviously heading for Su Rong. He said nonchalantly: "Okay, I'm here, you just pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag."

This was what Su Rong was waiting for. Three years ago, she was so frustrated that no matter how powerful the eldest lady was, she could not get past the governor's wife. She was scolded by the governor's wife with a gun and a stick, and told her to take care of her and not be unreasonable. He didn't feel that it was because of his lack of discernment that he chose a lecherous person for his daughter. He only met her once and then ran away to break off the engagement of his fiancée whom he had been engaged to since childhood. He didn't even know whether she was engaged or not. He was such a fool. He still has the nerve to trouble her.

But who asked her to be the wife of the governor? There was nothing she could do. She had to suffer this apparent loss. Later, even though Su Rong secretly gave it back, she still felt aggrieved. Although today was unlucky, it was also an opportunity to fight back.

In a blink of an eye, a group of people came forward. The leader was naturally Jiang Yunying. She saw Zhou Gu's appearance clearly and showed surprise. She didn't lose her composure. After looking at him, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Rong, "I said Su Rong, what are you doing today?" You dress up like a human being, are you trying to catch a rich husband?"

Su Rong: "..."

She said seriously: "Sister **, you are right. This is my golden turtle husband. He has been my fiancé since I was a child. He is like a baby kiss. I have never changed. It has always been him."

Zhou Gu: "..."

Jiang Yunying had two fiancés. One was three years ago, when the man fell in love with Su Rong and broke off her engagement. The other was a year ago, when the governor's wife arranged another marriage for her. Months later, something went wrong with that family, so she had no choice but to withdraw from that family again.

When Su Rong said this, it struck Jiang Yunying's heart. She immediately turned cold and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "You are a little concubine in the prefecture's palace and you have a daughter from a concubine. How can you catch a rich husband? Don't do the same. Born from a concubine, a bitch mates with a bitch, right? Why are you so proud?"

Su Rong: "..."

It's not wrong to call her a bitch. It's true that a concubine has no status and is looked down upon by others, but that's not the case with Zhou Gu.

She wanted to say, sister, you are so open today.

Sure enough, before she could scold him back, Zhou Gu's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "You're outrageous!"

He instantly unsheathed his sword and placed it on Jiang Yunying's neck. His whole body was radiating coldness from the inside out. He was as sharp as a sword. "Do you have the guts to tell me what you just said to me again?"

Jiang Yunying was shocked all of a sudden, her beauty turned pale, her face turned pale, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, "You, you..."

She had probably never seen someone who could draw a sword against her with just one word. The sharp blade stung her skin and hurt her. As long as he pushed the sword forward an inch, her blood would be splattered three feet away.

The two men and two women who were traveling with Jiang Yunying were also shocked at this time. The two women also turned pale, but the two men were calm. One of them immediately said: "My dear friend, if you have something to say, please put down your sharp weapon first."

Zhou Gu snorted coldly, "If I want to kill someone who insults me, even if it is the daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou, I can kill him. How dare you to offend me?"

Jiang Yunying was extremely frightened, and her eyes showed fear, but she didn't even dare to tremble.

The man who opened his mouth to save the siege was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhou Gu was not even afraid of the governor of Jiangzhou. His identity was obviously unusual. He immediately reported his identity, "I am Ningchi of the Marquis of Nanping Mansion. Sister Jiang doesn't know your identity. What's wrong with me?" If you have offended me, dear friend, please don’t remember the villain’s fault.”

"The Crown Prince of Nanping?" Zhou Gu gave this man a look, looked him up and down, and sneered, "What? You want to put pressure on me because of your status?"

"Don't dare!" Ning Chi was even more shocked when he saw that Zhou Gu's sword on Jiang Yunying's neck was not moving at all. Even the Marquis of Nanping didn't buy this man's advice, fearing that his true identity was extremely high.

He turned to Su Rong and said, "Miss Su Qi, my daughter's words are inappropriate, but the crime will not lead to death. Please ask Miss Su Qi to intercede."
