The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

In order to win Gu Jinzhi's trust, Liu Chunhe even poured dirty water on Gu Deyin.

"Uncle Guo, this was all done by Mrs. Xu Gu to deliberately frame me. This woman is extremely insidious, vicious, unruly, and flirts with others. She must be a thief to win your attention. …”

Gu Deyin is unjust, so don't blame him for being unkind.

Qi Jinzhi slowly sat back in the chair, "So, this is all a trick played by Mrs. Xu Gu to harm you?"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Liu Chunhe nodded hurriedly, and there was a touch of relief on his face, as if he was happy that Qi Jin could distinguish right from wrong.

Qi Jinzhi burst out laughing after hearing this, and then his smile faded, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Liu Chunhe's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, "How dare you, how dare you..."

Although he is the eldest son of the uncle's house and Qi Jin is the eldest son of Cheng'enhou, they seem to have the same status, but who knows that they have a good sister? She is the birth mother of the young emperor and the current queen mother.

He couldn't compare, so he could only admit his inferiority and get over the matter.

Qi Jinzhi saw through his thoughts at a glance, and the look on his face became even more disgusting, "But what they said is different from yours."

Liu Chunhe was stunned. Just as he was about to ask who they were referring to, he heard Qi Jinzhi clap his hands three times.

Not long after, someone escorted several injured people in.

He took a closer look and saw that there were his long-term followers, the killers he had arranged for tonight, and the ones he had arranged to watch from a distance. From the looks of it, all of his people were killed in one fell swoop.

On a cold spring night, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Uncle Guo, what these people say is unbelievable. They have betrayed me a long time ago, and I have kicked them out. They are waiting for an opportunity to take revenge..."

Qi Jinzhi looked at him with a strange expression.

"Do you think I would be stupid enough to believe such a feeble excuse? If it were you, would you believe it?"

Liu Chunhe opened his mouth and could no longer argue.

Seeing that he was silent, Qi Jinzhi sneered and gave instructions directly to his entourage.

"Take him back to the Liu family and tell Uncle Zhongsu everything about tonight."

When Liu Chunhe heard this, his face was full of panic.

His father was a very partial person. He only favored the younger brother born by his stepmother, and did not even consider him, the son born by his predecessors.

If his stepmother knew what he had done tonight, his position as the heir apparent would be lost.

"Uncle Guo, please show mercy to your subordinates..."

He immediately knelt down towards Qi Jinzhi and begged him not to make things worse tonight.

Qi Jinzhi remained unmoved and waved his hand at his subordinates out of boredom.

The subordinates understood immediately and picked up Liu Chunhe to drag him out.

Liu Chunhe grabbed the door frame and shouted at Qi Jinzhi.

"Uncle Guo, as long as you don't tell my father about this, I will not shirk anything you ask me to do from now on."

When Qi Jinzhi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally made a gesture to his subordinates.

Only then did the subordinate let Liu Chunhe go.

Liu Chunhe gasped for air, looking like he had escaped from death.

He stood up quickly, bowed in front of Qi Jinzhi, picked up the teapot, poured tea for him, and then handed it to Qi Jinzhi respectfully.

"Uncle Guo, all the mistakes I made today are all my fault. Please forgive me, sir."

Qi Jinzhi took the folding fan and lit the tea bowl, which was regarded as accepting his apology.

At this point, Liu Chunhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right in his bet. Uncle Guo seemed to be a romantic man, but in reality he was hiding his power and biding his time. After all, the Regent's family now dominated the court.

The emperor was young, and the queen mother wanted to listen to the government behind the curtain, but the regent denied it.

The Qi family had to avoid its edge and secretly accumulate strength, hoping that when the young emperor grows up and takes charge of the throne, he will be able to fight the regent.

He secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. In fact, he didn't want to get involved in these political struggles. After all, one must have strength to stand on the side. But now he had no choice but to follow the Qi family with all his heart.

Gu Deyin has been paying close attention to the progress there.

However, there were many capable people around Qi Jinzhi. She did not dare to send Gui Niang and Xiu'er, mother and daughter, to eavesdrop, so she could only arrange for them to closely watch the subsequent changes in the yard.

Because she had something on her mind, she had no intention of copying Buddhist scriptures.

I put down my pen early, stood on the porch with my cloak on, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought about the way forward.

At midnight, Gui Niang and her daughter returned in a hurry.

"Second Grandma, the heir apparent of the Liu family was sent away politely."

Gu Deyin's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tighten. This development seemed unexpected and yet expected.

Gu Deyin clearly knew whose lap she would embrace in the future, so she never wanted to provoke Qi Jinzhi from the beginning.

After all, when she died in her previous life, the young emperor had already grown up, but the regent was still standing, while the Qi family began to decline.

But the appearance of Liu Chunhe complicated the matter, and she had to temporarily use the power of Qi Jin to get out of trouble.

Unexpectedly, the Liu family was sent to the Qi family's ship.

She burst out laughing, it was God's will.

Mother Gui and her daughter looked at each other, wondering what their master was so happy about.

Now that Liu Chunhe has obviously passed the test of Uncle Guo, the master should worry about how to deal with him.

The mother and daughter were puzzled, so they stopped thinking about it.

After Gu Deyue laughed, he summoned Hua Shu and asked her to pay close attention to the rumors in the city and secretly push them if necessary.

Huashu said in surprise, "Second Grandma, Tan Yan was just put out for sale today, how could rumors spread so quickly?"

After all, buying and selling takes time.

Gu Deyin smiled mysteriously, "There will be people who will add fuel to the flames."

I pray that this person is far less generous than he appears.

Even though he has the reputation of being a gentleman among flowers, you might think that he is a talkative person.

She remembered that in her previous life, someone had offended him, and as a result, his family was ruined.

He is such a evil star.

However, he has a good sister who can block all major problems for him.

Hua Shu tilted her head in confusion. She realized that she had become stupid recently, and she couldn't understand many of her master's operations.

After Qi Jinzhi sent Liu Chunhe away, his face suddenly darkened, "Publish the story of the Liu family daughter."

No one can escape unharmed after provoking him.

Accepting Liu Chunhe's surrender is one thing, but the big stick still needs to be struck.

The followers immediately understood that this was Liu Ruohe, and this woman really amazed them.

It's hard for Liu Chunhe to have the nerve to throw dirt on the Xu Gu family. His sister is the leader. After all, it's rare for father and son to take advantage of each other.

But in one night, Tan Yan was bought.

Mrs. Xu found that he was nowhere to be seen, and when she hurriedly asked someone to look for him, it was already a step too late.

When she received the report from her servant, her face, which was already pale due to excessive blood loss, suddenly started to tremble.

She closed her eyes weakly, then opened them reluctantly.

"Look all over the city, no matter how much money we spend, we must buy him back."

Then, she said cruelly.

"If you can't buy it back, find a way to solve it on the spot."

Gu Deyin, who was still in Xintai Temple, had just finished her breakfast when she received an invitation from Qi Jin's messenger, inviting her to come to the octagonal pavilion in the temple to have tea today. (End of chapter)
