Gu Qing looked at the person who came. He was also dressed in black and had a strong build. He looked like a man with profound inner strength.

Afterwards, Gu Qing was taken all the way to Xiyuan.

This was his first time entering Xiyuan, and it was very different from what he had expected. Although spring had not yet arrived, the yard was already full of flowers.

"Boss, the person has been brought here."

Gu Qing was standing outside the pavilion when he heard a cold female voice coming from inside.

"Well, go get busy."

"Yes."

The man in black beside him left, and the people inside did not call him in. Gu Qing stood in the cold wind feeling a little awkward.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that no one let him in, Gu Qing thought for a while, gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain and walked in.

As soon as you enter the pavilion, you are instantly surrounded by warmth.

Looking at the only person in the pavilion, Gu Qing's eyes changed, some of them were stunned and surprised.

Is this Gu Jue?

His eldest niece?

How could this person be so different from the impression he had of him?

His internal energy changed. He was seriously injured. His temperament also changed, becoming strange and a bit cold and gloomy?

Just sitting there reading a book gives people a sense of distance, making people feel unattainable and even afraid to get close.

It made him feel his heart tremble, which was a bit weird and made him a little nervous.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the face.

No, that has changed too.

The facial features have not changed, but the temperament has changed, and the eyes have become much darker. They are no longer as bright and passionate as before, and they look a lot more stable.

When meeting Gu Jue's gaze, Gu Qing actually felt as if he was accidentally burned and subconsciously withdrew his gaze.

But the next second I felt that I was too cowardly and looked back.

This time, there was no burning sensation.

Was it just his imagination?

But he really couldn't help being timid, because now the entire Marquis' Mansion belongs to Gu Jue.

His father and the others are definitely fine, but he is different. Although he is the elder, he always feels that he is the younger generation. He always feels that Gu Jue will deal with him if he doesn't like him.

"Uncle San has been working hard day and night." Gu Jue broke the silence and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and placed it opposite.

"sit."

Gu Qing subconsciously sat opposite Gu Jue.

Facing Gu Jue at close range, to be honest, the feeling of attack was even stronger, and he had an urge to escape.

Woohoo~

He is such a coward.

"I guess Third Uncle already knows everything that happened in Yanjing, right? Especially those related to the Marquis' Mansion." Gu Jue seemed to know that Gu Qing was cowardly. He didn't look at Gu Qing anymore. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the book in his hand and asked meaningfully.

"Forehead."

Hearing Gu Jue's question, Gu Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"heard."

"I'm glad to hear about it. I wrote to my Third Uncle this time and asked him to return to Beijing because there is something I need him to do."

Without waiting for Gu Qing to ask, Gu Jue continued.

"I opened the Wanshu Pavilion. I recently angered the aristocratic family and blocked their path. The aristocratic family will take action against the Wanshu Pavilion."

"But it is not convenient for me to come in person. Now we need someone who can represent the Marquis' Mansion and express the Marquis' Mansion's position. You should have found out the situation of the Marquis' Mansion. No one is more suitable than you."

Hearing this, Gu Qing was horrified. The heavyweight news one after another had made him dizzy.

What do you mean?

What do you mean Wanshuge was opened by her?

Wanshu Pavilion?

The Wanshu Pavilion that dared to sell the Spring Examination papers in Yanjing after only being open for a few days?

She drove it?

Wanshu Pavilion was opened by Gu Jue?

Gu Qing felt like the sky was falling.

The next second, when he heard Gu Jue’s next words, he was even more shocked.

What do you mean?

How does she know that I have found out everything about the Marquis' Mansion?

Just when Gu Qing was so horrified that he was thinking wildly, his thoughts were interrupted by Gu Jue.

"Is Third Uncle willing?"

When Gu Qing met Gu Jue's gaze, he instantly came to his senses.

At this moment, he had a new understanding of Gu Jue.

However, he always felt that this was a trap! Gu Jue was really not cute at all now, so scary!

"What if I don't want to?" Gu Qing asked tentatively.

Seeing this, Gu Jue chuckled, like a blooming snow lotus, with a hint of smile and affirmation in his tone.

"You will."

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Gu Qing took the initiative to look away, and asked dejectedly, "What do you need me to do?"

Hearing Gu Qing's compromise, Gu Jue smiled silently, his eyes curved with laughter.

"You don't need to confront the noble families head-on. All you need to do is go to the second floor of the Wanshu Pavilion often and show your love and admiration for the Wanshu Pavilion. Just be a playboy who can't stand others saying anything bad about the Wanshu Pavilion."

"But don't overdo it."

"Just let people know that you admire Wanshu Pavilion very much, go there every day, and can't put down the books in Wanshu Pavilion. It's up to you to argue with others."

"As for whether there are people you shouldn't mess with, you're used to being free outside and rarely come back to Beijing, so you don't really remember the people in Beijing anymore."

"As for the rules of Yanjing, you were raised in the Marquis' Mansion and you are free and unrestrained. You don't know much about them. If they have any problems, let them go to the Marquis' Mansion."

After the words fell, Gu Qing understood that she was telling him to stop being timid and to act boldly and generously, as she would support him in everything.

It gave him confidence.

Isn’t it? Now the Marquis’ Mansion belongs to her, so naturally what she says is what counts.

When his father and elder brother were in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, he never felt so confident. But now he actually felt it in his niece who was a generation younger than him.

Gu Qing had an indescribable feeling in his heart for a moment.

A little strange, and a little warm.

"Okay, got it."

"Oh, by the way, the Prime Minister is now on our side. When you encounter a noble family with a high official position and the Marquis' Mansion is not useful, just use the Prime Minister, or go directly to the Prime Minister to deal with it. The Prime Minister will be happy to help."

After Gu Jue finished speaking, he looked at Gu Qing meaningfully.

Meeting Gu Jue's meaningful gaze, Gu Qing felt inexplicably uneasy and didn't dare to meet his gaze.

He smiled awkwardly but said.

"Oh, you are awesome. The Prime Minister is also on our side. However, our Marquis' Mansion is not useless. There is no need to go to him. We can solve the problem ourselves, right?!"

"That's not certain."

It was so embarrassing to meet people that he even wanted to escape by crawling through the ground, so Gu Jue stopped teasing him.

"But Uncle San can rest assured that it can be solved."

It was a double entendre. It didn't specify what could be solved, nor who could solve it, but it seemed to say everything. Anyway, Gu Qing felt quite safe after hearing it.

So, after Gu Qing met Mr. Gu, he felt quite fortunate.

If he hadn't agreed, would he have done the same and not allowed me to go in or out?

However, before Gu Qing could take action, someone from the aristocratic family had already taken action.
