Chapter 15
"Ningdong, please stay at home. Yuetao will come with me." It's not that she doesn't want to take Ningdong with her, she just takes her with her, and she doesn't want to keep her ears clean all the way.

"Miss……"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, she took Yuetao and left without looking back.

The General's Mansion was not far from Pei Qingci's residence, and he arrived in a short time.

"Miss, here we are."

Gu Qingyuan got out of the car with the help of Yuetao, and looked up at the very majestic house in front of her. The red vermillion-lacquered door had a black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top, with dragons and phoenixes dancing on it, inscribed with four large characters "Zhenbei Houfu".

"Who is it?" The guard at the door stopped Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan raised her hand, her red lips parted slightly: "Gu Qingyuan, could you please inform me."

She was not sure that Pei Qingci would meet her, and she realized that she was reckless only after she left the house.

The guard heard this and cupped his hands: "Please wait a moment."

The guard went in to report, but he was still wondering that Miss Gu was not as arrogant as the rumors said. As expected, the rumors were harmful to people, so don't believe it!

The guard came back soon, followed by Pei Qingci's personal guard.

"Miss Gu, please come down with me. The Marquis is waiting for you in the study."

Gu Qingyuan followed Ling Su and walked through the long corridor. The stones under the steps formed a corridor, and the rocks were dotted. The whole courtyard was magnificent.

"please."

Ling Su opened the door to the study and stood guard at the door. Yuetao originally wanted to follow him in, but was stopped: "The Marquis doesn't like others entering the study, so please wait outside."

"Yue Tao, you wait outside, I'll be out in a minute."

Stepping into the study room, I saw a pear-shaped marble case with various famous people's dharma stickers and dozens of inkstones on it. The peerless work "Smoke and Rain Picture" was hung on the wall.

Gu Qingyuan looked around and didn't expect that this man was quite tasteful, but he couldn't find Pei Qingci after looking around.

"Miss Gu, is there something wrong with your visit?"

Pei Qingci's sudden voice made Gu Qingyuan tremble, and he looked at him with an unkind expression: "Why do you walk so silently? Little Marquis, do you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Pei Qingci just stood there and glanced at me nonchalantly, her dignity and coldness perfectly matched by nature: "Ms. Gu must have forgotten that this is my study room."

"Huh, so what about your study, it's true that you scared me."

Pei Qingci curled his lips, and there was a bit of softness and tenderness between his eyebrows: "My fault."

Gu Qingyuan's eyes were raised, like a little fox, and she looked at him suspiciously. Has this guy changed his gender?strange.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Marquis, a man who only knew how to fight, would also appreciate the works of these men of letters." She lightly traced the scrolls on the table with her daubed fingers.

"I'm just passing the time when I'm bored. I wonder why Miss Gu came here?"

Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes to meet his gaze: "Don't you know what the young marquis has done?" As he spoke, he tapped the position of his heart.

Pei Qingci's heart trembled uncontrollably, reminding him of the ridiculous dream a few days ago. She nestled in her arms with a smile on her face, pointed at his heart and asked if she was there.

He turned around in a slightly embarrassed tone, his voice lowered by half a minute: "Miss Gu, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say."

Seeing him like this, Gu Qingyuan felt confused: "Young Master dared to visit the boudoir at night, why don't you dare to admit it now?"

Pei Qingci choked, he really couldn't let it go, but he still said hard: "Miss Gu is so stingy, I just want to see that Miss Gu, who is the most beautiful in Beijing, is sleeping with those people What’s the difference between a frontier princess.”

Gu Qingyuan sneered, and an unknown fire surged in her heart: "Young Lord Marquis is so shameless, it's really eye-opening."

"Excuse me." Gu Qingyuan came to him, glared at this overly delicate face, took out the jade ring from his sleeve and threw it to the ground. With a snap, the ring fell apart.

He gritted his teeth and snorted: "I don't know how many women's boudoirs the young marquis went to before he developed such a thick skin."

"Remember to hide your feet when you go to someone else's boudoir next time!" After saying that, he turned and left.

What a pimple!He deserves it for not having a wife in his last life!Anyone who fails to follow him in the future will be unlucky.

Pei Qingci turned around in confusion and looked at the broken ring on the ground, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What a pity, such a good ring."

Listening to his muttering, Gu Qingyuan became even more angry.

Seeing her coming out angrily, Yuetao had no idea why and hurriedly followed her: "Miss! Miss! Slow down and watch your step!"

Ling Su, who was guarding the door, scratched his head, entered the house, and helped Pei Qingci pick up the jade ring on the ground: "Master, what happened?"

Pei Qingci shook his head, said nothing, and stared at the door for a long time: "Follow her and see where she went?"

……

After Gu Qingyuan got angry at Pei Qingci, she found someone to call Lu Yan to the teahouse.

"Gu Jiaojiao, why are you so crazy to come to me in such a hurry?" Lu Yan said with dissatisfaction in his tone, still holding the ten thousand pattern fan in his hand and several handkerchiefs from his daughter's family hanging on his waist.

"Meng'er from Manchunlou is still waiting for me!"

Gu Qingyuan rolled her eyes at him: "I think you will die from a woman sooner or later!"

Lu Yan said nonchalantly: "As the saying goes, it is romantic to die under the peonies and become a ghost."

Gu Qingyuan remained silent.

Seeing that she looked bad, Lu Yan came up to her and picked her chin with his fan: "Who made you angry? Take it out on me."

"Hmph, whoever dares to offend me won't skin me." She gritted her teeth and said every word.

Lu Yan sat up straight, poured tea for her, smiled a little flatteringly, and coaxed: "Yes, yes, no one dares to make our Miss Gu feel angry. Let's calm down quickly."

Gu Qingyuan took a sip of tea and felt much calmer.

"I heard that the superiors have given your Jin Palace the task of escorting disaster relief grains and allocating grain funds?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Yes, how did you know?"

"You don't care how I know this. Do you have to take this job?"

Lu Yan was silent for a while and nodded seriously.

"In this case, I won't advise you anymore. Your trip will not go smoothly."

Seeing that her expression was serious and not joking, Lu Yan frowned: "How do you know? This is not something that can be joked about."

Gu Qingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "How do I know? Just ignore it for now. In short, I won't harm you."

"Reliable news, there are many people who are eyeing this batch of food and disaster relief funds. This is not a small amount of money, and they all want to get a piece of it. You should understand what I mean."

Not only the Jin Palace but also the Gu family participated in the escort this time. Gu Qingyuan's brother Gu Yanci was also among them. In the previous life, the disaster relief funds were robbed, Lu Yan and Gu Yanci were injured, and the emperor was furious. Some people even impeached the two families and suspected Jin. The royal palace and the general's palace teamed up to pocket the disaster relief for themselves, with sinister intentions.

"If this batch of food cannot be delivered to Jiangcheng, your family and I will not be able to escape the blame."
