Chapter 98 98. Serious
Jiang Shuyao was originally confused, but following Gu Lian's words, she gradually made up her mind.Her primary goal is still to protect the stability of the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, and find a good marriage for her brother and sister by the way.For things like this, she is willing to help others if she has enough ability in the future.

As for herself, let everything follow the fate in the future.

However, after this conversation, Jiang Shuyao suddenly had the urge to tell Gu Lian what happened.

So, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Shuyao asked without hesitation: "Does Gu Shizi know about that newly opened pet shop? Or, have you ever been there?"

Gu Lian knew about Jiang Shuyao's shop during "Mao Yan Mao Yu", so she had less scruples when talking to Gu Lian.She originally wanted to find a way to check in private, but now she felt that she might have overestimated her own strength.Gu Lian is better at things like this.

"I've seen it, what's the matter, but Miss Jiang Si thinks she stole your business?" Afraid that Jiang Shuyao's heart would be too heavy, Gu Lian teased deliberately.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Jiang Shuyao's pet shop was actually different from the customers of that pet shop.

"Then Gu Shizi has been there, have you heard any rumors about it?"

What did Jiang Shuyao mean by this?Gu Lian's heart sank, but his face remained calm: "Gu has never visited before, nor heard many rumors, until he happened to see the minister of the court bought a cat for his wife there, Miss Jiang Si heard about it what?"

It's impossible to say that you don't know anything at all, but just because you know something about it and know the secrets, Gu Lian understands better. It's better that Jiang Shuyao doesn't know the inside story.

"Gu Shizi, can I trust you?" Jiang Shuyao understood that when she asked this question, she had an answer in her heart.Gu Lian was so kind to her, so good that Jiang Shuyao would sigh in her heart from time to time: What can I do?
It was also because of this that it was difficult for her to doubt Gu Lian.Asking such a question is just to make sure.

It was rare that Jiang Shuyao was so serious, and Gu Lian also became serious.He knew that Jiang Shuyao's question was definitely not on a whim.Gu Lian's Adam's apple rolled, he wanted to say, do you think I'm such a good person, I'm actually far worse than you imagined.

However, opening his mouth became: "Yes." As long as you want, you can trust me at any time.

Jiang Shuyao took a deep breath and told what happened to her today without reservation.Gu Lian's expression became more and more serious, and when he heard that Jiang Shuyao was almost unable to come out, his brows were so wrinkled that they could kill a fly.

Gu Lian knew that the pet shop was not a serious business in private, but no matter what, he never thought that the other party was so bold?No, that person is used to being cautious. It's not like he can order something like this. On the contrary, it's more likely that the supervisor made it up on the spur of the moment.

However, with such bad eyesight, that person dared to lay his mind on Jiang Shuyao, how daring is he?For a moment, at an angle that Jiang Shuyao couldn't see, Gu Lian's eyes were terribly cold.

Jiang Shuyao omitted the matter of meeting Wen Shu, after all, no matter what, she shouldn't involve anyone at will.So, in the end, she only vaguely said: "It was a girl who saved me. After I thanked you again and again, I hurried to Xiangmingju."

In addition to being angry, when Gu Lian thought of that scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart rise, and he was afraid for a while.

"Miss Jiang Si," when facing Jiang Shuyao, Gu Lian's rare tone could be regarded as fierce: "Next time you go out, it's better to have someone follow you."

Jiang Shuyao nodded humbly: "I will definitely." This incident did leave a great psychological shadow on her, and she still has lingering fears when she thinks about it now.

Jiang Shuyao thought silently, in the future, it would be best to fight with two people around her.

Gu Lian also thought of this.Seeing Jiang Shuyao obediently nodding, she was still worried: "I don't know if there are secret guards in the Xuanping Hou Mansion. After Miss Jiang Si goes back, she can ask Lord Hou for two."

Dark guards are raised by almost every powerful family in the capital.This can be regarded as an unspoken but tacit secret.With Jiang Shuyao's popularity, Xuan Pinghou would naturally not be stingy with these two little secret guards.

However, it was too bold for Gu Lian to say it so bluntly.

"Okay." Jiang Shuyao still nodded obediently.At that time, she was just curious and didn't expect it to be so dangerous.It's just that she is too reckless after all, she must pay attention, and she can't do this again.After all, there might not be a second 'Wen Shu' to save her next time.

"Forget it." Seeing the little girl in front of her nodding her head obediently, as if realizing her mistake, Gu Lian sighed softly, reaching out and rubbing Jiang Shuyao's head a little out of bounds, her voice softened: "Are you scared this time?" ?”

"I'm scared." Gu Lian didn't ask, but when he asked, Jiang Shuyao felt that the fear and grievance that had been suppressed before seemed to have found a vent, and came out without any scruples.

So Gu Lian saw that Jiang Shuyao's eye circles turned red visibly as soon as he finished asking.

Gu Lian was at a loss for what to do.He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, not wanting to wipe Jiang Shuyao's tears rashly.He could only hand the handkerchief in her direction: "Don't cry."

Jiang Shuyao took it with some embarrassment, and wiped away her tears.She really didn't want to cry, it was just a subconscious reaction.Jiang Shuyao opened her mouth to explain, met Gu Lian's loving (?) eyes, and then closed her mouth silently.

Forget it, she didn't know how to explain it.

In fact, Jiang Shuyao didn't know what to do.If it is now, she will call 110 as soon as she encounters an abnormality.It's just that maybe she was just an ordinary person after all, and she has been living a peaceful life.The most heroic meaning should be that she helped a beautiful sister scold the hooligans on the bus.

But that's all.No one told her what to do if she encountered a crime with an obviously unusual background, or a situation where officials and officials might protect each other.

She could only look at Gu Lian for help, hoping that he could tell her what to do, or pray that he had some clues.

Gu Lian frowned.He really didn't want Jiang Shuyao to face those unsightly things too early.It's just that things are already like this, and the other party can no longer be allowed to develop.

The plan now is to collect some evidence first, then whether to ask someone to secretly report it to the emperor, or to submit it directly to Dali Temple is a good decision.

"At this time, I will find a way. You must not take any more risks." Gu Lian urged worriedly.

Jiang Shuyao was a little disappointed.After all, she actually seemed to witness the progress of the case.It's just that she was also afraid that her life would be lost, so she didn't raise any objections.
