Gu Helian's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "What money do I need from you?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt annoyed. Just when he was thinking of a way to make up for it, he heard Rong Yue say peacefully: "The head of the Gu family is naturally not short of money. Who doesn't know that the Gu family in Zuozhou is as rich as the country, but now I can only give out If the head of the Gu family doesn't like the money, I'll have to find it myself."
Gu Helian held a deep breath in her heart, and suddenly felt bored.
"Rong Yue..."
Gu Helian wanted to speak, but when he saw her eyes raised calmly, with Tang Ning and Xue Ru beside her, and Qian Qiyue who had just arrived, the words he was full of were suddenly choked in his throat, and he waved his sleeves anxiously: " I don’t look down upon you, you don’t need to be so polite to me.”
"It's not polite, it's polite. You have helped me a lot during this time." Rongyue said softly: "It was rude to call you here from Zuozhou in a hurry, not to mention there were misunderstandings in the past. You see, my father and I I am very grateful that my sister is willing to help me and Tang Ning."
"I'm not…"
"Um?"
Gu Helian opened his mouth and saw that several people in the room were looking at him. The corners of his mouth suddenly straightened. After a moment, he became angry: "You also said that the Rong family is kind to me. Even if you don't call me, I will know that Xiao Haitang is in trouble." He will go to Beijing, and besides, there is so much nonsense about a trivial matter, and he will keep grinding and chirping!"
Seeing Rongyue's expression paused, Gu Helian seemed to have been strangled by someone's throat: "I'm going to find a house. The accountant will ask them to come find you later."
He hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out. Holding an umbrella, he reached the yard. He looked back at the room over there. Thinking of the shock in Rongyue's eyes just now, Gu Helian couldn't help but raise her hand and give herself a hand. Slap: You’re the only one with a big mouth!
Would you die if you said something nice? !
There was a stone in Gu Helian's heart, and she raised her feet to walk out. Unexpectedly, when she raised her eyes, she saw Hua Wu coming not far away carrying something.
"...Master Gu?"
Gu Helian's face stiffened: "There are mosquitoes."
Hua Wu said "Ah" and glanced at the rainy weather.
The day hasn't even warmed up yet, are there any mosquitoes?
…
Rong Yue was stunned by Gu Helian's sudden anger, and her face was momentarily embarrassed after seeing the person leave.
She felt guilty for Gu Helian. If she had not mistakenly believed in Xie Tianyu back then, Gu Helian would not have gained such a bad reputation and was expelled from the Rong family and left the capital in embarrassment. Although he later joined the Gu family and is now living a very good life, but Rong Yue I always feel that I owe Gu Helian.
Rongyue knew that she had a bad attitude towards Gu Helian in the past, so she wanted to get along with him in a friendly manner, but she didn't expect to make him unhappy.
She lowered her eyes and suppressed her confusion. Seeing the three little girls next to her looking at her, Rongyue said with a smile on her face: "With this imperial edict, I'm afraid there won't be many people coming from tomorrow."
This has always been the case in Beijing. If she was still Princess Cheng, or just reconciled with Prince Cheng, no one would care about her. But she got the family fortune of Prince Cheng, and was named Mrs. Rongguo. In addition, Prince Cheng and the Lu family were "involved", and there were many people who wanted to come over to watch the fun, inquire about news, or try to build relationships to show their goodwill.
Tang Ning said: "If my aunt finds it annoying, I'll just ask Hang Guard and the others to stop her."
Rong Yue shook his head: "You can't stop him. Sooner or later, the Rong family will have to deal with those people in the capital."
In the past few years, she has been carrying the name of Princess Cheng, and she has planned everything for Prince Cheng's Palace. All her favors and relationships have also fallen on Prince Cheng's Palace. If she wants to protect Tang Ning and gain a foothold in the capital, she can't always stay in this. Inside the turtle shell, she had to let people know that Tangning had a family to rely on.
"I haven't recovered well yet, and I don't want anyone to come to the Lu family's affairs. So, if someone does come, tell them that I will hold a banquet in the mansion in ten days. Your Majesty will give me a royal decree and invite them to come to the mansion to celebrate. When I feel better in two days, someone will send me a message."
Tang Ning thought about it and thought it was feasible: "Then I'll tell Xichun and the others."
Qian Qiyue was immediately happy when she heard there was a banquet. She quickly asked: "Madam, you are hosting a banquet, can I come?"
Rong Yue smiled and said: "Of course, I will have someone post separate posts for you and Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian must appreciate it."
Qian Qiyue became happy.
…
Qian Qiyue stayed in Tang Mansion until it got dark before leaving. If it weren't for the urging of the maid around her, she would have stayed in Tang Mansion overnight.
After sending Qian Qiyue away, Tang Ning read a book with Xue Ru for a while. When Xue Ru went back to rest when she was tired, she tidied up and asked Hua Wu and the others to go down and rest too. She leaned on the bedside and thought. About Empress Lu and the Lu family, when she was drowsy, she suddenly saw a shadow passing outside the window.
When Tang Ning took a closer look, the shadow had already gone away. Her eyes were filled with joy, and she quickly walked to the window barefoot and opened the window sash, and saw Xiao Yan leaving towards the outside.
"Brother."
Xiao Yan turned around and saw the little girl leaning on the window lattice, looking at him with eyes full of surprise.
Xiao Yan strode back: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Can't sleep." Tang Ning was lying by the window: "Brother, why are you here now?"
"Just came out of the palace."
The palace was full of ghosts and monsters. After Emperor An's headache subsided, he was summoned to the palace. He listened to Emperor An nagging and scolding Lu Chongyuan for committing the crime. He scolded the Lu family with a ferocious look on his face, but in a roundabout way, he asked him to leave the Lu family alone. .
Although he had known for a long time that the Lu family had the handle on Emperor An, no matter how big the trouble was, the Lu family would back down if they dared to fight to the death to defeat Emperor An. But when he saw Emperor An's incompetent, furious and secretive look, he still felt that this kind of person It was really sad that he killed his father and became emperor.
Xiao Yan looked at Emperor An who was constantly cursing and sullen, and for a moment he had murderous intentions. After he came out of the palace, he inexplicably wanted to see Tang Ning. Even if he just stood by her window, he could make her His bloodthirsty heart calmed down.
Tang Ning felt that something was wrong with Xiao Yan tonight, so she waved to him, and after Xiao Yan approached, she asked in a low voice, "Is something not going well in the palace?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "No."
"Then why is brother unhappy?" Tang Ning asked.
Xiao Yan didn't expect her to be so bright. He calmed down some of the coldness in his body and relaxed when he lowered his eyes and looked at her: "It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just a little tired."
Seeing the little girl looking at her worriedly, he said: "Lu Chongyuan was released from confinement yesterday. After he came on duty today, he gave a note to Your Majesty. He mentioned that he had a personal enmity with me and it would not be appropriate to hand over the Caoliang case to me. He asked that the Caoliang case be handed over to me. The case was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for joint trial by the three divisions. Emperor An approved it and ordered Lu Zhao to be sent to the jail of the Ministry of Punishment."
Tang Ning was shocked: "Your Majesty, do you want to temporarily let the Lu family's affairs go and stop the grain supply case?"
Xiao Yan said "hmm".
"Is Your Majesty crazy?"
Tang Ning frowned. Who in the capital didn't know that Xiao Yan had "enmity" with the aristocratic family, and that the Lu family had been feuding with him for a long time. This was why Emperor An entrusted him with the Lu family's case.
He has always wanted to eradicate the family, and Emperor An has been forcing people to dig deeper into the Caoliang case. Once the Guan family dies, Lu Zhao and the Lu family will definitely turn against each other. As long as they use some tricks, Lu Zhao may be able to open his mouth to bring Lu The matter at home was revealed, but he actually handed Lu Zhao over to the Ministry of Punishment, obviously not wanting Xiao Yan to interfere anymore.
Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "Did the Lu family take advantage of His Majesty?"
Lu Chongyuan just went to the palace to plead guilty, first lifted the ban, and then pressed the case of sending grain. This is not normal at all.
Seeing her, Xiao Yan figured out the key in an instant and raised his lips: "It's probably because he was in an unfair position, and the Lu family is collaborating with him. They both know each other's weakness. If the net is broken, they will probably die together, so they have to take a step back."
Seeing that Tang Ning's expression was solemn after hearing this, and her little face was tense, her fingers were holding on to the window frame with great strength.
Xiao Yan said: "It's a pity that some things started with his shouting, but he can't end it with his shouting."
The Lu family wants to retreat.
An Di wanted to retreat.
But some people have no way out.
His goal was never Lu Zhao. The one who could kill the Lu family was not the rest of the Lu family. There were some things that Lu Zhao would never say even to death, but others would.
He wanted to destroy all her hopes, force her to cut off her arms, and leave her in a desperate situation, with no choice but to follow the path he left.
There was some frost in Xiao Yan's eyes. When he put his hand on Tang Ning's hair, he gently rubbed it: "Go to sleep. There will be some excitement in a few days."
