Chapter 171 Fiance

Three days later, the group arrived at Yuezhou Prefecture.

The army arrived five days ago. Xie Yan sent Gu Ningping'an to the prefecture and led dozens of people to the border military camp.

His departure did not cause much trouble.

Only Chu Shiling came to Gu Ning and winked at Gu Ning: "Don't worry, once my affairs are handled, you can go to Mr. Xie."

Gu Ning covered Chu Shiling's mouth to prevent any shocking words from bursting out from her mouth.

Since Chu Shiling caught her intimate with Xie Yan, Chu Shiling has been around her all day long, with Xie Yan in her mouth.

If it weren't for the gossip light flashing in her eyes, Gu Ning would almost have thought Chu Shiling was interested in Xie Yan.

"Shut up!" Gu Ning warned, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shiling automatically covered her mouth and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, as long as you can help me get rid of that scum, I will follow you honestly and listen to you!"

She spoke without breathing, obviously she was anxious.

Gu Ning glanced at Chu Shiling, who looked silly and sweet, and developed a lot of interest in the fiancé she mentioned.

What kind of scumbag is that he can make Chu Shiling so disgusted? He even hid in the capital for five years for him?

Outside the city, the governor of Yuezhou Fang Chengyu was waiting at the door early.

The Lord of Changning County came with three thousand personal guards, which was a major event for Fang Chengyu, who was an official in Yuezhou.

Everyone knows the power of the Pei family, and they also know that the emperor attaches importance to the eldest princess and the lord of Changning County.

"See the Lord of Changning County, the Lord of Xinyue! The two Lords Jin An!"

As soon as the two of them came out, Fang Chengyu spoke loudly and saluted the two with the officials around him.

A group of people knelt in front of him. Gu Ning's eyelids twitched suddenly, feeling uneasy, and immediately waved his hand: "Master Fang doesn't have to be polite."

She was gentle and treated these officials quite kindly, and could not see any rude appearance at all.

Fang Chengyu's elegant face was full of smiles, but he had already muttered in his heart. He hadn't returned to the capital for many years. Could it be that the Changning County Lord has changed his sexual intercourse?

He had a lot of suspicion in his heart, and did not show any of his face, so he took Gu Ning to a yard himself.

The yard in front of me looks dilapidated, and as soon as I enter, dust rises, making people unable to open their eyes.

Fang Chengyu waved his hand and coughed: "County Lord, Yuezhou is poor, this is the best house."

As he said that, he remained silent and waited nervously for Gu Ning to get angry.

Let the rumor be put aside. Just looking at the huge luggage behind the Changning County Lord, he knew that the county lord could not bear the hardship and could not tolerate such an environment.

However, in front of Fang Chengyu, who was nervous, Gu Ning, who was pinching his nose and disliked him, shook his head and looked very gentle to him: "What is this? I saw that there were three entry points in the yard and the gate was painted again, so I knew you had done your best."

"It's just a place to stay. I'm not a person with precious gold and jade. I can't live anywhere?"

Gu Ning's words were gentle, polite and considerate.

Fang Chengyu's expression shook, unable to believe that this was what he said from the willful and willful Changning County Lord.

"Master Fang, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ning waved his hand curiously in front of his eyes, "Why is his face so ugly?"

Fang Chengyu swallowed, and a decent smile quickly rose on his face: "The county lord is so magnanimous, it is a blessing for the people of Yuezhou!"

Gu Ning said modestly: "The prefecture is over-reputable."

She was walking around this yard with high interest and no dissatisfaction on her face. Even though Fang Chengyu had exhausted her mind, she could not hear what she wanted to hear.

Fang Chengyu was panicked, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be maintained. Fortunately, the yamen runner arrived and said a few words in his ear, so that he could leave the yard on the grounds that there was still a formality.

As soon as he left, Gu Ning's face

The smile on it faded away.

"This magistrate Fang is amazing." Gu Ning sneered, "I know how to start from these places to deal with me!"

Chunyu looked angry: "Even if the house is dilapidated, there will not be so much dust. He clearly did it on purpose and wanted to see your joke from the county lord!"

Gu Ning knocked her head, pointed to the yard, reminding him: "Do you think he just wants to see my joke?"

"No." Gu Ning shook his head, "He wanted to see me furious and spread my reputation to the capital. He just needed to add a few more words to the censor's memorials to play me. Start with me, impeach the Pei family's extravagance and plunder the people's wealth..."

Gu Ning's few short words made Chunyu's face change drastically.

"What a cruel heart!" Chunyu gritted her teeth, "The Pei family's silver was earned at a loss! I had heard from the old man in the mansion that before the old general followed Taizong, the Pei family was already rich. When the old emperor was still alive, the Pei family's industries were already spread all over the place! The origin of those silver was clear and innocent!"

"But when rumors spread, most people will only believe the rumors. They will not believe them, nor do they want to believe in clarification." Gu Ning chuckled and said in a quiet tone, "It is better to kill the buds instead of waiting until the rumors spread, and things are irreversible!"

She glanced at the yard and walked out without hesitation.

"Let's go find Chu Shiling!" Gu Ning curled his lips and smiled, "She asked me to help, she had to give me some benefits in advance!"

Princess Changle Mansion.

"Let me see!" Princess Changle carefully held Chu Shiling's face and felt very caring, "I have been in the capital for five years, why are you so thin?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shiling pouted: "Mom, my figure is the most fashionable in the capital! You can't feed me any more weight!"

As she said that, she handed Princess Changle to her bird's nest aside, refusing to take a sip.

Princess Changle looked blessed, looked at Chu Shiling's eyes with a heart of loving her daughter. She personally held the bird's nest porridge and wanted to feed Chu Shiling: "Silly girl, what if you are fat? You are still the most beautiful little girl in your mother's heart!"

"No!" Chu Shiling resolutely rejected her, "Mom! I really don't drink it!"

She said, then turned her head and exposed her thin cheeks.

Seeing this, Princess Changle sighed faintly: "If you don't drink, don't drink it, but if you see your aunt tomorrow, you can't be so stubborn! Brother Cheng is waiting for you to come back and get married!"

"I won't marry!" Chu Shiling covered her ears and screamed, "I don't want to marry that scum!"

Princess Changle looked helpless: "Brother Cheng is now a county magistrate. She has achieved such achievements at a young age. Why don't you want to? With the relationship between the Li family, he will definitely make a difference..."

Chu Shiling's eyes were filled with tears and she said aggrievedly: "Mom only looks at his face, why doesn't she be willing to investigate more about his personality?"

"I have sent someone to investigate what you said at the beginning. Those missing girls were all kidnapped by bandits and had nothing to do with Brother Cheng!"

Chu Shiling's eyes were full of tears: "Mom, but that day I saw a woman in Li Cheng's mansion running out. She told me that she was Erniu from Lihua Village! I also sent someone to investigate. Erniu was indeed missing. Then I went to Li Cheng's mansion and never saw her again!"

As she said that, she shed tears. Yuezhou is located in a remote area, with many bandits, and beautiful girls often disappear. She only thought that they were all done by bandits, but she saw the girl who should have fallen into the hands of bandits in her beloved fiancé’s mansion!

She had seen a corner of the truth back then, fled from Yuezhou with endless fear. Now when she thinks about it, she just feels that her life is dark.

"Okay, okay!" Princess Changle's tone softened when she saw her crying, "It's okay if you don't want to marry Brother Cheng, but you always have to give me a reason, right?"

"I heard that the deputy commander who escorted you to Yuezhou this time is handsome. Did you fall in love with him?"

As soon as Princess Changle spoke, Chu Shiling was shocked.

"Mom! Stop talking!" Chu Shiling quickly explained

He said, "He was not escorting me at all! He was escorting Gu Ning to Yuezhou! Don't say these words in front of Gu Ning!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle sighed: "Mom remembers it all."

At this moment, the concierge ran in with an excited look on his face.

"Princess! The Princess Changning is here!"

"Young Master Li is here too!"

Chu Shiling, who had just raised a smile, stomped her feet angrily.

Why did that scum come with you?

She was not leaving or staying. She sat stiffly in the hall until Gu Ning arrived that she came back to her senses.

As soon as Gu Ning arrived outside the princess's mansion, he ran into Li Cheng who was getting out of the carriage.

After learning that Li Cheng was Chu Shiling's fiancé, Gu Ning immediately thought of the scumbag that Chu Shiling said.

On the surface, Li Cheng is romantic and handsome, and has a talented personality. Even in the capital, he is still the best among the young masters of aristocratic families. What's more, Li Cheng is also a county magistrate of a top-grade county, which can be called a young and promising word.

only……

Gu Ning would not miss the lustful gaze she had just felt. She raised her eyes and looked at the guards next to Li Chengji without leaving any trace.

When Chu Shiling saw Li Cheng, her face suddenly became gloomy, and she didn't even look like she was looking, and she didn't give Li Cheng any good expression.

Li Cheng seemed to have not seen her stinky face, so he called her gently and asked someone to bring the things he had prepared.

What was placed in front of Chu Shiling were gems the size of a thumb.

Li Cheng said softly: "This is all for the county lord. If the county lord thinks it is not enough, I will ask someone to look for it."

Princess Changle smiled and said, "You are still caring about Brother Cheng. I know that Shi Ling likes gemstone face the most. I will send it to the jewelry shop..."

"I don't want it!" Chu Shiling suddenly stood up and knocked the box full of gems to the ground, "I don't want what you gave me!"

Chu Shiling's chest kept rising and falling. Facing Princess Changle's disagreement, her nose felt sore, and she started to feel sad from her heart, and she ran out of the front hall crying.

Princess Changle quickly smoothed out: "Shiling is such a spoiled person, Ning'er, you are a joke."

"It's okay." Gu Ning shook his head lightly and looked at Princess Changle with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. "Maybe I will persuade Shi Ling and she will be relieved."

Princess Changle couldn't ask for it, so she immediately took Gu Ning to Chu Shiling's yard.
