Chapter 128: Building Forces

"It's not clear yet, but we can't rule out the connection," Xin Nianyan said.

"Don't worry, go check it out. I'll hold them for a while for you." Gu Shuang comforted her softly, with coldness in his eyes.

Now that she has entered the prime minister's house, she must do what she can do.

"Just protect yourself." Xin Nianyan looked at her, slightly pursed her lips, and her eyes were dark.

"I know what's appropriate, Yan'er can rest assured."

Xin Nianyan didn't know what her sense of propriety was, but she was still a little worried.

To be honest, Gu Shuang has been very easy-going and low-key since he entered the prime minister's house. Apart from going to sit with the old lady from time to time and copying scriptures with her, he would embroider in the yard by himself, waiting for Xin Yuanwen to come back.

I don’t know how many Zhang Yunhui’s spies were around me, and she looked so weak that she simply couldn’t withstand the misfortune of my wife.

But I saw that she seemed to know everything but let it go.

Gu Shuang is hiding his clumsiness.

Xin Nianyan later realized that there were so many things going on when he first entered the house, and it was easier to make people unhappy if he was tit-for-tat with his wife.

After sending Gu Shuang away, Xin Nianyan returned to the yard and sent someone to call Han Feng.

Dusk had already fallen when the cold wind came, and Xin Nianyan was looking at the moon under the corridor, waiting for him.

Wearing an elegant and simple goose yellow dress, she is independent of the wind and floats like a fairy.

"Miss." Hanfeng saluted.

Xin Nianyan nodded towards him, "Guard Han, I want to discuss something with you. Come with me to the courtyard for a walk."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaozhu in the room had already taken out a thin cloak to protect her from the spring cold.

With a small candle holding a lantern, the two of them walked one behind the other on the corridor in the courtyard.

"Miss, what are your orders for me?" Han Feng walked behind and asked in a low voice.

Entering a pavilion, Xin Nianyan walked over and took a seat.

"You have taught Wang Mo very well these days."

Xin Nianyan raised her eyes and looked at him.

Hanfeng didn't understand what she meant, "Wang Mo is very smart and willing to learn."

"You are good at nurturing talents. Being just a bodyguard in the palace is a bit too much. You are willing to teach more talents for me."

The night light was dim and Xin Nianyan couldn't see Han Feng's expression clearly, so he continued to speak.

"As you can see, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not peaceful. I went out to a banquet a few days ago and almost died outside."

When he said this, his expression was obviously suffocated by the cold wind in the night.

"So I need a power that belongs entirely to me to protect me and be used by me. It can serve as my eyes and ears, so that I can more clearly resist the malicious intentions against me."

Xin Nianyan stood up, "I know your identity is not simple. I promise you that when this force is formed, you can leave at any time if you want."

"I will remove you from the slave status and send you out of the Prime Minister's Mansion cleanly."

Such conditions really make Han Feng excited.

His hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his eyes were looking at the moon in the sky, with an obscure light shining in his eyes.

"Miss, what do you need me to do?"

It took a long while before he spoke, following the sound of the wind.

"There are many children in the slums outside the city who are homeless and don't have enough to eat. Go watch and select some to adopt, sign a death contract, and teach them martial arts."

Xin Nianyan put his hands in each other's sleeves, and his long hair was swaying in the wind.

"I gave them a way to survive, and they used me to protect me."

Hanfeng looked at her, pursed his lips and nodded.

"My subordinate understands."

Xin Nianyan took out a stack of banknotes from the purse at her waist, took Hanfeng's hand and put it on it.

"Hanfeng, I'll leave this matter to you."

"There are 30,000 taels of silver notes here. Once you find someone, you can buy a yard outside the city for training. It's up to you to decide how to spend it."

"If you are short of money, come to the house to find me."

Hanfeng took the thirty thousand taels of silver notes, his eyes did not flash with enthusiasm at all, he just looked at Xin Nianyan in confusion.

"Why me." He asked: "Miss trusts Hanfeng so much, isn't she afraid of betraying her trust?"

Xin Nianyan raised the corners of her mouth.

His appearance of not being moved by money in the slightest, holding tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand without even looking at it, further proved her suspicion.

"Except for me, no one can help you get rid of your humble status and regain your freedom."

"I believe in you, Hanfeng."

Mainly, she had no choice.

Hanfeng's eyes flashed, he opened his clothes and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you, Miss. Hanfeng will definitely live up to Miss's high expectations."

The night breeze was blowing, and the figures of the two people in the pavilion were elongated by the dim lights. A white figure stood on the roof on the other side, looking at this side with some sour teeth.

After Xin Nianyan finished talking, he took Xiaozhu back.

The wind passed by without leaving a trace, and I had a good night's sleep.

The next day, everyone knew about the engagement between the young master of the Duke's Palace and the daughter of the General's Palace.

The previous rumors about Qiu Lier were naturally disproven.

Zhang Yunhui, who had been bedridden for a long time, finally got off the bed and ate at the same table with everyone.

In the evening, Xin Wenyuan went down to court and came in from the outside while chatting and laughing with Gu Shuang. Zhang Yunhui and Xin Rouer were already waiting at the dining table in the main hall. When they saw the two of them coming in with sweet smiles, they couldn't help but feel resentful in their hearts.

Gu Shuang called her, and Fu Shen whispered: "Sister."

Zhang Yunhui was shocked when she saw her.

"I asked why the prime minister hasn't come to see her for so long. It turns out that he and his sister are stuck together every day. I'm afraid he has forgotten me, my wife, somewhere in some nook and cranny."

She couldn't help it anymore and made a sarcastic comment.

The original intention was to laugh at her for serving others with sex and her charming nature to seduce Xin Wenyuan, but Gu Shuang smiled slightly and said, "How could it be? The prime minister often mentioned my sister to me and was worried about her physical condition."

It was a good gesture to consider the relationship between the two of them as a couple.

"It's just that the prime minister has been tired recently. Every day when he comes here, I give him a massage and he falls asleep, so he doesn't come to see my sister."

Xin Nianyan helped the old lady come in, and raised her eyebrows when she heard these words.

It's a bit interesting, she looks soft and weak, but in fact she is telling Zhang Yunhui how much she is liked by Xin Wenyuan.

After hearing this, Xin Wenyuan laughed a little guiltily.

In fact, he was not too tired. He just wanted to pretend to be tired, make her feel distressed, and give him a massage.

Zhang Yunhui's face darkened and she sneered: "My sister is really good at her craftsmanship. I don't know where she learned it from some unorthodox place."

What she said didn't sound nice, and the old lady even frowned.

"My father was sick in the past, so he went to the medical clinic to learn it. If my sister likes it, I will do it for you someday."

Gu Shuang responded with a gentle smile, as if he didn't understand what she said at all.

"Okay, I've just been able to get out of bed and it's all over the place. Can I have a good meal?"

The old lady knocked on the ground with her cane and scolded her.

She naturally helped Gu Shuang. After all, Gu Shuang's massage skills are really good and he also knows some medical knowledge. He has been helping her to adjust her body during this period, and her body feels much better.

Zhang Yunhui's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and said no more, but the hatred in her heart deepened.

The old lady said this as if she had come to the dinner table and ruined the harmonious atmosphere of their family.

"Mom, I specially asked the kitchen to make hibiscus corn soup today, please eat more." Gu Shuang smiled and went over to help Xin Nianyan sit down together, and filled a bowl for her with his own hands.
