A few days later, news of the arrival of envoys from the foreign countries quickly spread to all corners of Lin'an.

If it had been normal, the people in Lin'an would have been pushing each other and waiting on the roadside with their necks stretched out.

However, most of them can't lift their emotions at this moment. They haven't calmed down yet.

Some are heartbroken.

——"Why are you still collecting your shoes and not going to the street to take a look?"

——"What are you looking at? What are you looking at! I feel uncomfortable. The girl I admire for my son has stayed at Fanshan Temple not long ago. I am debating whether to give up on the marriage. That girl is really good, but her reputation is stained.

"

There are also those who use strong words to make excuses.

——"I heard that the envoys from the foreign country came here for marriage. Which princess do you think will marry her?"

——"Stop talking, I feel sick when I think about Japan."

——"Huh? But this is Fanguo!"

——"I don't think they are good things."

There are even more things that I don’t want to mention.

——"Envoy..."

——"Stop talking. I've been tired recently. Chi Xingxun was bitten by Gu Shizi's dog again, and I'm not interested anymore."

Therefore, there were only a few people standing here and there on the street. A cold gust of wind blew by, making people feel chills on their backs.

The envoy was cautious:...Are they not welcome?

The group of people all became trembling with fear.

The Duke's Mansion.

Ruan Zhen's wound was properly treated and she was able to get out of bed and walk around on her own in the past few days.

She wore an apricot yellow satin-backed embroidered cross-collar long coat, paired with a moonlight cloud cotton skirt. A plain white half-moon ripple girdle was tied around her waist.

There are very few accessories on her body. Three thousand black hair is loosely tied with a tie, and there is a hibiscus hairpin in her hair.

There is a sachet hanging on the waist and a white jade.

She has a plain waist, dark eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a slim face.

The end is delicate and beautiful.

She held the stupid rabbit in her arms and listened to Gu Huai's teachings.

"You stay at the house while my mother and I go and come back."

Ruan Zhen nodded slightly.

"Um."

After all, Gu Huaizhi remembered Mu Hansheng's words. Even though he thought it was ridiculous, he didn't know why when he saw Ruan Zhen's obedient appearance.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, showing off his noble air, and he was acting like a ghost.

"I won't let you go because you haven't recovered yet. Don't think too much about it."

Ruan Zhen nodded.

"Um."

Gu Huaizhi looked calm and cleared his throat.

"Don't listen to the nonsense outside. I'm not familiar with Zhou Yuan."

Ruan Zhen looked at him strangely, and then nodded.

"Um."

Gu Huaizhi added slowly: "I don't know the woman next to me either."

Ruan Zhen rubbed Rabbit's head and didn't even bother to respond: "Why don't you leave yet? Don't let your godmother wait."

Gu Huaizhi narrowed his eyes. Apparently his expression turned cold.

"Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

"have."

Ruan Zhen was a little embarrassed and looked up at him hopefully, her eyes twinkling: "The snacks in the palace are delicious, can you bring some back to me?"

Gu Huaizhi should be happy.

After all, Ruan Zhen is really sensible.

She wasn't allowed to go and she didn't make any fuss.

Even when he heard the name of the woman next to him, he didn't react at all. She even smiled and asked him to bring some snacks.

She is really not jealous.

Gu Huaizhi pursed his lips, but suddenly felt uneasy.

How could she not be jealous?

In the past, when Gu He was out and came back after staying for a while, Sheng Wan would ask questions.

I even wanted to ask all the questions.

Does Ruan Zhen believe him, or... doesn't care at all?

The air pressure around Gu Huaizhi dropped. He grabbed the woman's wrist and suddenly changed his mind.

"You come into the palace with me."

Ruan Zhen was puzzled, but she didn't ask anything.

He just said warmly: "Okay."

————

The carriage parked outside the Duke's Mansion has been waiting for a long time.

She was dressed in silk and satin, and all the accessories on her body were exquisite. She stood outside the house and looked at the deserted street.

The corner of her mouth was raised in sarcasm.

"The people from Yong'an Houfu have already entered the palace?"

Mrs. Kong lowered her eyes and responded: "Yes. Mr. Fan has gone too."

Sheng Wan snorted.

Also, after losing such a big face, it is no longer possible to gain a foothold in Lin'an. However, if he does not appear openly and openly in the eyes of everyone, the fall of the Marquis Mansion will definitely be even more severe.

In order to show his benevolence, Emperor Hui even acquiesced, allowing Fan Kun to rest and adjust at home.

Sheng Wan said lightly: "This Fan Kun gets drunk every day, and the whole palace seems to have changed. But it's strange that he accidentally fell into the river a few days ago. After being rescued, he went to the palace as an errand early the next morning.

Already."

Mrs. Kong said: "No, even if a urchin on the street calls him eunuch, he doesn't seem to hear it, as if he has changed."

As he said this, Mrs. Kong came up and whispered.

"However, after a few days, the child was gone."

This was the first time Sheng Wan heard this and was slightly startled.

Mrs. Kong continued: "It is said that the child was playful and was trampled to death by an out-of-control horse."

But who would believe that there is nothing fishy in this?

"Why haven't I heard you talk about this?"

Mrs. Kong shook her head: "That man from the Chi family who drives the horse, what can ordinary people do to him? If he is happy, he will give some money and give it away. If he is not happy, it will also affect the family of the convicted child. This matter is shocking.

No one dares to mention it again."

What's more, it's not just once or twice.

There are many people who accuse Chi Xingxun of disregarding human life and causing harm to the world. But which one of them was not beaten with a bruised nose and face by the Yamen people and thrown out?

Sheng Wan looked disgusted.

Those nobles who eat and drink the blood of the common people have no humanity at all.

This is what happened to the country and centuries-old foundation that Emperor Hui had captured. If it weren't for his incompetence, how dare these courtiers!

Sheng Wan had a cold face: "Let's see how many more days he can be arrogant. I feel dirty even mentioning such a person."

As he was talking, he heard Ruan Zhen's voice behind him.

"Godmother."

Sheng Wan turned around and smiled when he saw it was her.

She rolled her eyes and looked at Ruan Zhen and Gu Huaizhi.
