A thought flashed through Gu Wu's mind as he suggested to Gu Xin to bring Mian Niang into the house.

Gu Han looked at him, but shook his head and rejected the suggestion, "No, she just got the rest letter, and she was sent to the mansion hastily. She definitely can't stand gossiping about it, Ah Mi really cares about all this, and she definitely won't agree to it. Besides, I don't want to force her. "

This was also the reason why he didn't dare to go see Mian Niang. Over the past few days, he had already visited the Tian Jia Wan more than once and sat on the roof of the Song Family. As he listened to Mian Niang's tossing and turning sounds in the room, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"It's not the kind of access to the mansion that you're talking about. Rather, let her come to the mansion to work."

Gu Wu explained: "Think about it, after she comes to the mansion, if she earns money, it will be good for her family, and secondly, she won't have to stay at home to listen to rumors from the neighbors. Of course, if she comes to work, it will only be an excuse, for you guys to spend some time together. How could there be any more rumors? "

Gu Xin's eyes lit up, he felt that this was indeed a good idea. Seeing the expression on Gu Wu's face, he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

Only the heavens knew how worried he and Gu Wen were about such a dejected and dejected young master.

At the very least, right now, I have to get Song Zhixiao out of the prison so that I can tell her parents that I can have her come to the palace to work. At that time, even if she doesn't agree, her parents won't be so shameless as to refuse on Song Zhixiao's matter. Since she was unable to convince his parents, he could only agree to it. "

Gu Wen sighed in his heart, when had his young master ever done something that he was hesitating for so long, yet had to think about so many details?

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

No matter what, the young master was no longer so downcast. This could be considered a good thing.

Gu Wu nodded his head, showing that his young master's thoughts were logical.

Having received the agreement, Gu Xin finally had a smile on his face.

However, things did not go as planned by the master and servant duo.

The officials had made a decision regarding Song Zhixiao.

Song Zhixiao mistreated his wife, causing her to run away from home.

In fact, the family was not even given any time to speak. At that time, they sent a yamen runner to escort Song Zhixiao to the Yong Region.

Gu Xin didn't expect this kind of result. Upon hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the county town.

Gu Xin did not expect the county magistrate to avoid him, so he rushed to the back of the mansion, only to see the county magistrate drinking tea and chatting with someone, a familiar face entered his eyes. Gu Xin understood why Song Zhixiao would give such a verdict, and he was even more confused.

"Xiao Zongxian, didn't you leave already? Didn't you go back to Beijing? "

He was sitting at the seat of honor, accepting the flattery of the county magistrate. It wasn't Prince Rong Xiao Zongxian, but rather it was someone else.

After what happened last time, Gu Xin thought that he had already returned to the capital. He didn't expect that this person would actually appear here again.

"Haha, Gu Xin, Gu Sanlang, you're still here. How could natural son suddenly leave like this? Don't forget what I'm here for. "

"Was it because of you, that caused Song Zhixiao to be assigned to the army?"

The county magistrate stood up and bowed to him, "Young Master Gu, this lowly official will only handle matters according to the law and will not be ordered by anyone."

A mere duke naturally couldn't compare to the Prince Rong, who held authority over the imperial government. No matter how powerful the Young Master Gu was, it couldn't compare to the Prince Rong personally taking action.

The moment Xiao Zongxian appeared, the county magistrate already knew which side he should stand on.

"According to the law, what law is it? Why would Song Zhixiao send someone to discipline his wife?"

"Of course it's the national law, and furthermore, even if Song Zhixiao is teaching his wife, she shouldn't injure or injure her?"

"When did he injure her? It was only that woman that fled while carrying her husband on her back. He was worried that she would be punished when she returned, so he admitted his guilt."

"Gu Sanlang is really interesting. He repeated the same thing over and over again but he actually couldn't say the exact words out loud?" If Lord Lin were to make a fuss about it and report it to the Ministry of Justice, you are committing a crime of favouritism and violating the law. In order to protect a servant of your family, you actually did such a thing?

It was already the beginning of autumn and the Prince Rong was still holding onto a folding fan.

It was like a torrential flood. It was a reprimand towards Gu Xin, and it was actually so righteous and awe-inspiring that it almost made people forget how he caused trouble for the capital. "Wuu, wuu …"

"Aren't you doing favoritism when you say I'm favouring others? The Mei Family woman left a note and left himself, and then disappeared. How can you say that Song Zhixiao injured her and crippled his? "

He looked at County Governor Lin, only to see that the person had lowered his head guiltily. Although he had already made his stance known, and was under Xiao Zongxian's control, he was still a seventh grade county official after all. The Gu Hou behind the Young Master Gu was still a huge mountain.

Gu Yue looked at Xiao Zongxian's pleased face again, and then he suddenly realized something and asked: "You have also found the Mei Family's woman, and forced her to testify?"

He could think of no other reason.

"Gu Xin, you can't say it like that. It's not us who force people to lie. If it wasn't for our old friendship, I would have investigated you to the end by making you speak like that for no reason at all."

His expression became increasingly pleased with himself.

In a three-way house not too far away from the county magistrate, Gu Xin saw Wu Niang escaping.

The village girl from the past sat under the osmanthus tree, wearing a light pink dress, with a silk hairpin in her hair and pearl earrings in her ears. Her two wrists were covered with two white jade bracelets, making her look even more beautiful, and as she heard the voice and turned around to see Xiao Zongxian, she immediately shouted out in joy, "Envy!"

The soft voice was filled with boundless tenderness, but his expression froze the moment he saw Gu Shenwei.

"Young Master Gu?"

His expression was startled, his eyes dodging, he was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Xiao Zongxian.

"Wu Niang, why aren't you coming over to greet your old friend?"

Wu Niang was unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey. She could only use her walking stick to unwillingly walk over.

Seeing that Gu Xin's expression was unclear, he became even more afraid to go forward. He could only bend down from a distance and call out: "Young Master Gu, long time no see, Wu Niang pays his respects to you here."

With just a wave of his hand, there was actually a lot of gentleness and flirtatiousness that hadn't been there before.

When she stood up, there were a few patches of red on her neck. Occasionally, when she looked at Xiao Zongxian, it was with embarrassment and timidity.

Gu Xin no longer knew whether to be shocked that she had managed to use a walking stick, or to sigh at Xiao Zongxian's capabilities. It had only been a few days, and he had taught a village girl her charms up to now.

The alluring charm of lowering her head and raising her eyebrows was probably something even Glistening Fragrance couldn't match up to.

He understood everything now.

He asked plainly, "Is your leg really injured?"

"That's right, how could I lie to you? Besides, even if I dared to lie to you, I wouldn't dare to lie to you in the court. You must be punished for that!"

She smiled and shook the cane in her hand, then the injured leg.

"Was it Song Zhixiao?"

Xiao Zongxian laughed and taunted, "Gu Sanlang is really naive. If that Song Zhixiao were to hit on the natural son's precious baby, how would he simply become a vassal to the army? This is the day when I went to pick her up, she was too anxious when he got on the car, he missed his step, and fell down, if you don't believe me, you can look, there are still scars on her forehead, and it was also when he smashed into the shaft of the car that day! "

Since he said it so straightforwardly, with County Officer Lin by his side, Wu Niang's face was full of uneasiness, he wished he could drive any further.

County Official Lin was not much better off, since Xiao Zongxian had said this, wouldn't it mean that he was lying?

Stealthily glancing at Gu Xin's expression, he thought for a while, but he couldn't show his cowardice. He could only keep his expression unchanged and not let his guilt show on his face.

Gu Yue sneered, "You're still speaking of something like that so openly. Xiao Zongxian, you're getting more and more out of hand. At that time, how could I not know whether Song Zhixiao was at home or in the Gu Mansion? "

"What, natural son didn't say anything wrong, the words of abusing his wife and forcing his wife away were said personally by Song Zhixiao, the case file is currently still in the county magistrate court, right on top of Master Lin's table, there is a bet drawn by Song Zhixiao himself, no one forced him to do this, not to mention that he sneaked back to the Gu family and mistreated his wife, or even slept in your Gu Mansion until daybreak, who knows?

Forget about the people in your house being able to testify to it, they are from your house, and also have been with Song Zhixiao for a long time. Aren't you forcing Lord Lin to help you? "

Xiao Zongxian fanned his hair lightly with his fan, looking very pleased with himself. It was completely different from the panic he felt when he left the Gu household after being defeated.

County Official Lin stood behind him and had already treated this Prince Rong as his backer.

"Sir Lin, aren't you afraid that I'll bring this matter to the Ministry of Justice?" To punish you for your crimes against the law? "

"Young Master Gu, back then Song Zhixiao had personally admitted to abusing his wife, and this official is only handling cases impartially."

With things having gotten to this stage, Lord Lin no longer had any leeway to go back on his words. He could only hold tightly onto Prince Rong's thighs.

He finally understood that he had already offended one, so he couldn't offend another one.

Since these two were his ancestors, he could only choose the one that was most advantageous to him.
