My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"How could it be false?" A male voice came from outside the car: "How many people are trying to curry favor with Marquis Dingkang now? I once heard from an elder that he wanted to marry his daughter to Marquis Dingkang."

Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other at this time, and saw doubt in each other's eyes. Then they sat down tacitly, wanting to listen to what these people were saying.

"Marquis Dingkang is a man of extraordinary talent, and now he is favored by the emperor, so naturally there are people who want to curry favor with him. Moreover, despite the removal of his title, the emperor has retained the qualification for the imperial examination for Marquis Dingkang, so he can become an official through the Spring Examination."

This time it was a female voice, and then the third voice came out, also a female voice: "But now people say that Dingkang Hou is very affectionate, how could he take a concubine?"

"Who said it's impossible?" It was still the first male voice, "Although Marquis Dingkang has not passed the imperial examination, he is now a noble of the court. He is already half an official. How can he not take a concubine?"

"That's right. Besides, it's been more than half a year since the lady married Marquis Dingkang, right? But until now, there's no movement in her belly, and there's no news of pregnancy at all." A second male voice came out.

"As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. The Marquis Dingkang has been married for such a long time, but still has no offspring. I think the Marquis' wife may have some disease and cannot have children at all."

When Chang An heard this, he immediately became emotional and didn't notice that something was wrong with Gu Li.

"If you ask me, this so-called Marquis' wife is just a pretty face, and she may have saved Marquis Dingkang's life. Otherwise, how could he marry her when they have such an unrelated relationship?" A second male voice was heard.

"Don't make such random slanders. Marquis Dingkang and his wife are so affectionate to each other, how could it be as you say?" The second female voice was still trying to excuse the two eavesdroppers.

"If this gossip reaches the ears of Marquis Dingkang, you will be considered as committing insubordination."

But several other voices said they didn't care:

"How is that possible? Marquis Dingkang might be resting in his mansion, and he hasn't told anyone about it. How would we know?"

"If what we said is true, and this Marquis's wife is a disaster with only the appearance of a beautiful woman, maybe he has already begun to dislike that lady?"

"Since we are disgusted, and we did nothing wrong, how can it be considered slander?"

"To put it bluntly, this Marquis' wife, Gu Li, was born a merchant, and her current position is all thanks to Marquis Dingkang. How can she be worthy of Marquis Dingkang?"

Chang An reached out his hand and stroked Gu Li's head, comforting her gently, but veins on his forehead were already bulging. He took a deep breath, then slightly pushed open the curtain and saw the situation outside - two men and two women, and then asked:

"Have you met Marquis Dingkang?"

Chang An only lifted the car curtain slightly, and the gap created could only reveal half of Chang An's face, while they could not see Gu Li standing next to him at all.

"We have never seen him. We are just a few servants. How can we see his face?" said the leading man. From the voice, we could tell it was the first man's voice.

"I wonder who you are..." The second young man saw that Chang'an was dressed in extraordinary clothes and guessed that he was some young master.

"My identity is not important. I wonder what you are talking about. I am also a little curious." Chang An gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his emotions, and they did not notice anything wrong.

"That's... they're talking about Marquis Dingkang's wife." The first woman said, "I guess Marquis Dingkang's wife is not a good person. She hasn't gotten pregnant yet, and it seems like she will soon fall out of favor."

"Or maybe the wife of Marquis Dingkang is a demon. She used some kind of charm to make Marquis Dingkang so obsessed. But how can a demon be successful?"

"Stop talking nonsense..." There was one last woman trying to persuade them, seemingly not wanting to be dragged into this:

"My dear, please don't get involved in this topic. Marquis Dingkang and his wife are truly in love, and it's not what they say."

Chang An forced a smile and lowered the car curtain. He slowly pulled Gu Li over, kissed her on the forehead, and whispered, "Mother Gu..."

At this time, Gu Li slowly raised his eyes, which were already misty, and his lips, which were smeared with lip balm, were also trembling slightly. His heart tightened instantly, and he gently touched Gu Li's face and said:

"Mother Gu, please wait for me in the car. Don't get off. I'll be back soon..."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to get off the car. But at this moment, his hand was grabbed. He turned around and found that Gu Li was pulling him. His two big eyes were already wet, but he still tried his best to hold back the tears, and then shook his head at Chang An.

She knew Chang An's mood very well. She knew without thinking that he would definitely ask to find those people to "argue".

Chang An gently patted her hand that was holding his, then slowly pushed it away and turned to get off the carriage. This matter was about Gu Li's reputation, and what they said was tantamount to hurting Gu Li, and Gu Li was also suffering from pregnancy anxiety, and what they said might turn into pregnancy depression.

The four people outside the car saw Chang An. They originally wanted to criticize him, but after seeing his gloomy expression, they were all stunned.

"No... I don't know who you are..." The first young man felt something was wrong at this moment. Could it be that he was going to suffer such bad luck?

"My name is Chang An, and my courtesy name is Yonghe." Chang An twisted his neck slightly and loosened his shoulders. A creaking sound came out. "I was far away in the car just now and didn't hear it. I don't know..."

"What did you say happened to my mother Gu?"

Suddenly, a murderous look flashed in Chang'an's eyes, and those people were all sweating coldly. At this time, Chang'an's eyes were first on the woman who was defending him, and she was frightened to the point of shivering.

At this time, Chang An reached to his waist, took out a piece of silver and threw it over. The woman took the silver, her hands trembling slightly, and then she saw Chang An's head tilted slightly, as if to signal her to leave.

She bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Marquis Dingkang, thank you, Marquis Dingkang..."

After saying that, she ran away. The only ones left were the three people who were slandering Gu Li. Then there was a noise from the eaves next to him, and Chang An said directly:

"you......"

The leader's legs were shaking at this moment, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ding...Ding Kanghou...you..."

"What's wrong with me? But that's not important. What's important is, what do you think happened to my mother Gu..." Chang An took a step forward.

The leader subconsciously tried to swallow his saliva, but just as he was halfway through the action and his Adam's apple was halfway down, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his left cheek. When he came to his senses again, he had already fallen to the ground, his ears buzzing.

The only woman, seeing Chang An taking action, wanted to scream, but the moment she opened her mouth, she felt a strange touch coming from her neck.

She turned back mechanically and found a young lady standing behind her, with a tender-looking hand pinching her neck. A strong sense of death surged into her heart, because the fingertips of the lady were against the tip of her throat, and it seemed that if she made a sound, she would die.

The last remaining man wanted to turn around and run away, but when he turned around, he found a young lady dressed as a maid standing behind him, looking at him indifferently.

Then I saw the other party slightly sideways, and then there was a violent impact from behind, and I immediately flew forward and fell face down on the ground.

The man who was punched at the beginning suddenly felt himself being lifted up, and he looked at Chang An with horror. But after a while, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he felt like he was floating in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"You...what are you going to do!" The man who was kicked out said in horror, "Even if you are a nobleman in the court, you can't...you can't just hit people casually!"

"Whatever?" Chang An sneered at this time, then cast his eyes on Chang Qi and asked, "Am I hitting someone casually?"

Chang Qi shook her head quietly, and then Chang An turned his attention to Chang Qi and asked again: "Did I hit anyone casually?"

Chang Qi also shook his head, and then Chang An walked up to the second man and kicked him in the face, making him feel dizzy.

Chang An seemed to feel that the other party was too low, so he pointed at the two people lying on the ground, signaling Chang Qi to move. Then, Chang Qi stretched out his hands, lifted up the two people with one hand.

Then Chang An punched each of them again, beating them up until they were at a loss, and then he punched each of them evenly. As soon as the two of them were about to fall to the ground, Chang Qi would go forward and hold them back. After several punches, the two of them completely collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Chang Qi then walked forward, squatted down and checked the breathing and pulse of the two, then nodded to Chang An, indicating that they were still alive.

Chang An then turned his gaze to the woman, whose legs were shaking uncontrollably. If Chang Qi hadn't been strangling her neck from behind, she would have fallen to the ground and fainted.

He relaxed his shoulders, then walked in front of her, raised his right hand and swung his arm, and slapped her directly. Chang Qi also quickly let go and stepped back the moment the slap landed.

The woman, before she felt any pain, was knocked unconscious by Chang An's slap and fell to the ground unconscious.
