Another morning.

Gu Qingqiu was sitting on the horse's back. Today she was riding a white horse and wearing a green riding outfit. Her beautiful face looked even more gentle in the morning sun.

After seeing her, a stunning look flashed across Chu Yunyi's eyes.

"Qingqiu, you are so beautiful today."

Chu Yunyi rode a horse next to Gu Qingqiu. The two were very close, so Gu Qingqiu could clearly hear what he said.

The person in front of her was her lover, and they had already made a marriage contract, but Gu Qingqiu was still as shy as before. She had a blush on her face and she slowly shook her head.

"Your Highness, there are so many people there."

When Chu Yunyi saw her like this, his heart was even more intense.

He held Gu Qingqiu's hand openly and put it in his hand for a while. When his eyes looked at Gu Qingqiu, it made Gu Qingqiu blush with a different meaning.

But Gu Qingqiu was reluctant to shake Chu Yunyi's hand away. She blushed and carefully hooked Chu Yunyi's palm with her tail finger, and whispered: "Your Highness, let's go to the forest."

"No one in the woods."

Chu Yunyi's throat tightened, and his eyes looked at Gu Qingqiu even more intense.

He raised his whip almost instantly and wanted to walk into the woods.

But just as the two were about to set off, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and the maroon horse happened to stop beside them, and Jiang Ruzhu smiled at them.

"Cousin, where are we going today?"

The appearance of Jiang Ruzhu disrupted Chu Yunyi's plan.

He glanced at this innocent cousin and showed some displeasure: "Why don't you follow your cousin and the others?"

When Jiang Ruzhu heard the impatient feeling in his words, her eyes immediately turned red: "Brother and the others dislike me. Do you even dislike me for cousin? But you don't dislike Miss Gu."

Chu Yunyi's face was slightly cold, dissatisfied with her belittling Gu Qingqiu, but her next words made Chu Yunyi unable to refute it.

"I am better than Miss Gu in terms of riding and archery." Jiang Ruzhu lowered her head aggrievedly, "With me taking care of her, maybe my cousin will hunt more prey, and she will be able to beat the second prince by the final count."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunyi's eyes darkened.

Indeed, I have been wandering around with Gu Qingqiu these days, and I have been on the periphery. He doesn’t have much prey in his hands, let alone those large prey.

Gu Qingqiu's gentle smile stiffened for a moment and soon returned to normal.

She smiled softly and drew the dust that did not exist on Chu Yunyi's shoulder intimately: "Your Highness, Miss Jiang Er makes sense. Every autumn hunting you are the leader, and you can't fall behind this time."

"Why let me be with Miss Jiang Er and stroll around here, and you go hunting inside."

"I'm not relieved." Chu Yunyi did not hide his concern for Gu Qingqiu at all.

Jiang Ruzhu, who was beside her, clenched the reins hard, and she didn't show a jealous look on her face: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Gu."

Gu Qingqiu smiled softly: "I have the guard you gave me around, and I am on the periphery of the forest. How can I encounter danger? Besides, this is Miss Jiang Er, who has superb archery skills, please don't worry."

She whispered softly, and Xiaozhi moved him with emotion and reason, which finally made Chu Yunyi's attitude relax.

But seeing her trying hard to hide but still showing some traces of reluctance, Chu Yunyi squeezed his hands tightly, and he hugged Gu Qingqiu heavily before looking at Jiang Ruzhu.z.br

"Ru Zhu, my cousin's wife will leave it to you for her care."

When Jiang Ruzhu heard this title, her forced smile almost collapsed.

She quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely take good care of her!"

She said the last sentence very seriously.

But Chu Yunyi did not notice anything strange from it. He patted Gu Qingqiu's hand comfortably again, and kept most of the guards, and then rode away.

Chu Yunyi just left, the smile on Jiang Ruzhu's face

Then I can't hold on anymore.

She waved the whip and the long whip wiped Gu Qingqiu's cheek, almost scratching her beautiful face.

"Oh!" Jiang Ruzhu pretended to be panicked, and hurriedly came forward, staring at Gu Qingqiu's face over and over again: "Miss Gu must not have scars on this face, otherwise, how could you win over your cousin's heart?"

She sarcastically said, mocking Gu Qingqiu for being a servant of sex.

Gu Qingqiu also understood her words, covered her cheeks and sobbed.

"I'm fine."

She took a deep breath, and the anger on her face gradually calmed down, and she did not dare to get angry at Jiang Ruzhu.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruzhu was even more proud.

But the guards who were left by Chu Yunyi already had anger on their faces.

A sneer flashed through Gu Qingqiu's eyes. The idiot didn't know that Chu Yunyi had left so many people. In addition to protecting her safety, he was also guarding against this stupid cousin.

As smart as Chu Yunyi, how could he not see Jiang Ruzhu’s thoughts?

But he still needs the Jiang family, so he can't break up with the Jiang family for a stupid woman.

Gu Qingqiu looked at the proud Jiang Ruzhu, and the darkness flashed in his eyes.

Like Gu Ning, these people are arrogant and never sympathetic to people who are not well-born like her and can only do their best to climb up step by step.

People like this deserve to die!

Jiang Ruzhu knew that she dared not speak out, but not only did not restrain herself, but became even more aggressive: "Miss Gu, is this your first time in Qiuhunting? Yes, with your father's official position, if you had not been able to climb up with your cousin, you would be afraid that you would never be able to participate in such a grand event in your life."

"Yes." Gu Qingqiu lowered his head and whispered, "Thanks to Your Highness, I just mentioned it a little, and Your Highness included the uncle's name on the list."

Her words made Jiang Ruzhu's smile stagnate.

Seeing Gu Qingqiu's delicate and helpless look, she was so angry that she felt so angry.

Forget it if Gu Ning crosses her, even such a slutty woman with a low status dares to go against her?

Today she wants to let this woman know that not all men can make her think!

"Today I want to hunt two red foxes." Jiang Ruzhu ordered Chu Yunyi's guards who were left behind, "You all go with me."

But these guards seemed to have not heard it, guarding Gu Qingqiu one by one, without moving out even a single step.

Although he had expected this situation to happen, Jiang Ruzhu secretly bit her silver teeth when she saw it.

Thinking of her plan, she suppressed her anger and said to Gu Qingqiu, "Miss Gu, you won't let me go hunting alone in the forest, right? If something happens to me, you can't afford it."

Seeing her arrogant look, Banxia was so angry that she wanted to argue.

But Gu Qingqiu stopped her and showed a beautiful smile at Jiang Ruzhu: "Miss Jiang Er, don't be angry anymore. These guards only follow the orders of Your Highness, and they can't leave me."

"Why not do this? I will accompany you to hunt in the woods, so that they can protect both of us."

Gu Qingqiu's words were very considerate, but to Jiang Ruzhu, it made her feel disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

However, this is her plan today. Even though she had a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Qingqiu, she could only swallow her breath.

She coldly clamped the horse's belly and ran towards the forest first.

Gu Qingqiu followed behind him, and a large number of guards also followed into the woods.

As soon as they saw the two left, the two groups of people who were following the gaze went back to report.

"County Lord, Miss Jiang Er went to find the third prince and the others today."

Chunyu touched the tent and told Gu Ning vividly about a scene outside the woods.

"Really?" Gu Ning held his chin and his clear eyes flashed slightly, "So, Gu Qingqiu was bullied miserably by her?"

Hearing this, Chunyu shook her head: "I think she was deliberately trying to lure Miss Jiang Er to take action.

Isn't this the same thing for you? Look at me, the guards have already recorded this matter, and they may have to complain afterwards."

Gu Ning looked at her with appreciation: "Smart, you can see Gu Qingqiu's plan at once."

Gu Qingqiu is best at pretending to be pitiful and miserable.

Just like in Gu's house, Gu Zhiyuan was always partial to her, and there were several conflicts with him before. Even though Chu Yunyi did not dare to help her blatantly due to the engagement, he would try his best to comfort her afterwards.

Perhaps this is the unique halo of the heroine of the White Lotus!

Gu Ning sighed quietly and stretched lazily: "Let's go, let's go and see the fun too."

Chunyu was surprised: "You want to keep up?"

"I can't miss such a lively atmosphere." Gu Ning said seriously, "I feel uneasy if I don't go and see it."

"But I saw Miss Jiang Er's maid who went to see the eldest son of the Jiang family last night. I was afraid that there would be some traps in the forest. If you go there, I would be in danger." Chunyu shook her head in disagreement, "If you want to watch the fun, I will go there for you and tell you one by one when you come back."

"It's fun to watch with your own eyes." Gu Ning waved his hand and quickly opened the tent.

She didn't want to get involved in this excitement, but for that map, she had to do it.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning curled his lips: It would be better to get the map today, she doesn't want to work hard on these things again.

Chunyu's persuasion was unsolvable, so she could only call the guard and followed Gu Ning into the dense forest.

On the other hand, Yue Rong, who had been observing the movement early in the morning, ran to Xie Yan, who was on duty.

"The county lord has made any moves." Yue Rong glanced at Xie Yan's face and said carefully, "The county lord followed Miss Gu and the others into the forest."
