really?
Ji Rang didn't say anything, but the emotions in his eyes were obvious without any concealment, as if he was asking if it was true.
The innocent are innocent. Gu Junqing was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so he had to change the subject calmly.
"There has been no trouble in the capital recently, so the Yu and Chu families got married. However, half a month later, the two families were in a mess because of Yu Qiguan and his new wife. Now the second young lady Chu can't go back to the Chu family, and Master Chu doesn't want to see his daughter, so the relationship between the two families is getting farther and farther..."
Ji Rang naturally understood what Gu Junqing was talking about. Since he didn't want to say these words, he just went along with her. So he looked elsewhere and didn't look at her. There seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice:
"Perhaps General Gu doesn't know that the relationship between the two families deteriorated so quickly, and our Duke Shen helped secretly..."
What do you mean?
Gu Junqing was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Ji Rang meant. After all, he subconsciously thought that although the Chu family had declined, the Yu family had not, and their profound foundation and power in the court were still firm. Duke Shen should help the Yu family to completely destroy the Chu family, so that Yu Xihou would owe Duke Shen a favor, and then the two major families would join forces to gain a firm foothold in the court and let all ministers look up to them.
But Duke Shen not only did not help the Yu family, but instead added fuel to the fire...
In recent days, the actions of the Shen and Yu families have been closely monitored by others, and she has been focusing on Prince An, and no one has told her about the rumors outside, so she really knows nothing. Gu Junqing looked at him with undisguised confusion in her eyes. After all, she really didn't know what happened, so she asked him:
"What do you mean, Lord Ji?"
He seemed a little surprised that Gu Junqing didn't know. Then Ji Rang saw her frowning face, coughed lightly, and didn't keep her in suspense, and started to explain directly:
"Of course, I didn't expect that Duke Shen would be so cruel at first, dragging the Yu and Chu families into this and letting the whole capital laugh at them. It was the people I sent out who found out that it was Duke Shen's people who spread the news about the Yu and Chu families and fanned the flames. A few days ago, Yu Qiguan took a fancy to a maid named Lu Ye from Master Shen."
"Young Master Shen also gave this maid to him at that time, and then Yu Qiguan brought her back to the Yu Mansion and wanted to promote her to a concubine, but his wife found out, and then Lu Ye's life was naturally not saved, and Madam Yu found a reason to beat him to death."
"But the relationship between these two people has almost broken up. They are just a couple of resentment when they are together. They make the family restless, but they cannot divorce her at will. After all, this is a marriage granted by the emperor..."
At this point, Ji Rang chuckled, obviously showing some interest and ridicule in this matter.
All this trouble happened because of a maid, it's really...
Gu Junqing was speechless, and at the same time found it a little funny, but his doubts grew even more.
What is the purpose of Duke Shen's secret actions? Does he want the Shen family to be the only one in power or do they have other plans?
She did not continue to investigate, but turned her eyes to look at the scenery outside the window, as if she saw something worthy of curiosity. After Gu Junqing fixed her eyes on a certain place outside the window, she did not move again.
Seeing this, Ji Rang also became curious. He raised his eyebrows and looked out the window following Gu Junqing's gaze.
There was no difference except for the people coming and going. So he couldn't help asking her:
"What is General Gu looking at?"
Hearing Ji Rang's call, Gu Junqing came back to his senses, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "The world is so big, there are countless people who look alike. Maybe I was wrong. I thought it was an old friend who I hadn't seen for a long time who came to the capital."
After that, Ji Rang responded nonchalantly, and then the two of them tacitly stopped talking and looked out the window.
The two sat quietly for a while, then Gu Junqing stood up and was about to leave, and Ji Rangyi and the other two followed closely behind him.
However, Gu Junqing returned along the same route and saw the same person again in the same place. His expression was still a little panicked and guilty.
It was Miss Mu You, who had recently become famous in the capital.
Gu Junqing patted his shoulder which was numb from the collision, turned around and wanted to stop the man, but the man was nowhere to be seen when he turned around.
She thought about it and still felt a little suspicious.
After putting this matter to heart, facing Ji Rang's puzzled look, she waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and then she took a step forward and left.
After returning to the original place, Gu Junqing saw that the girls who had gathered there and wanted to serve her diligently just now were not making a fuss around Gu Jiyan for some reason, and the scent of powder around them had also faded a lot. She breathed a sigh of relief and then sat in her original seat, thinking that she should just watch the opera and look for suspicious people today, and not cause any unnecessary attention.
A group of playboys said they would take Gu Junqing out for some fun, but after arriving at Yihong Tower, many of them never came out of their rooms. Some of them who had some thoughts on their minds immediately stopped making trouble when they saw Ji Rang.
Therefore, only Gu Ji Yan was waiting beside Gu Junqing at the scene, but Gu Ji Yan had no interest in the Yihong Tower now. He was only thinking about the place he wanted to take Gu Junqing to when he just brought her out.
Having stayed here for quite some time, Gu Junqing's expression was still indifferent, and he did not show any interest in this place or any desire to stay here any longer.
Gu Jiyan really didn't want to sit here and play anymore, so he didn't even look at Ji Rang who was drinking, but instead looked directly at Gu Junqing who was sitting next to him, looking straight at the stage with clear eyes. He hesitated a little, but still asked:
"General Gu, we are just staying here to watch opera and drink some wine, which is so boring. How about you follow me to the place we agreed to play at the beginning?"
Gu Junqing, who was watching the stage play happily, glanced at Gu Jiyan after hearing what he said, then lowered his eyes, as if he was considering it. However, before she could say anything, Ji Ke on the side didn't want to be ignored, so he subconsciously looked at Gu Jiyan and asked:
"I don't know where the prince wants to take General Gu to play. I'm out now and I don't have any official business. I don't know where to go. I came here purely because the people outside said that General Gu was in Yihong Tower, so I followed him out of curiosity. Since you two want to find a place to play, are you willing to take me with you?"
