My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Zhang Aiyu was very surprised and excited. She was about to kneel down without saying a word, which caused Chang An to pull her back again.

"I've already told you not to kneel, why are you doing this, Madam Zhang?"

Zhang Aiyu was so excited that he was incoherent. He could only say, "This... Marquis Dingkang is so kind and generous. I have no way to repay him."

"If you have nothing to report, don't report it," Chang An waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, come in and sit down and talk. It's not convenient to talk outside."

"I dare not." Zhang Aiyu hurriedly shook her head when she heard that she was going to enter the house, and took a step back. "I am originally a girl from the Red Courtyard, and I just met Marquis Dingkang for the first time today. If I enter the house like this, I am afraid that I will disgrace Marquis Dingkang's reputation."

Chang An sighed and said, "Come in quickly. Su Meng dared to enter my house without notifying me. Now that you are a good person, what else do you have to worry about?"

"this......"

Zhang Aiyu opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and her feet didn't move. Helplessly, Chang An shouted into the courtyard: "Someone come! Two maids!"

Just as he finished speaking, two maids came forward and Chang An ordered, "You two, help Madam Zhang in."

"Yes."

"Remember to hold on well, don't bump into anything."

Chang An added another sentence, and then he and Gu Li walked directly into the main hall. Zhang Aiyu, supported by two maids, came to the main hall a little nervously. After Chang An pointed out a seat for her, she was helped to sit down by the maid.

After Zhang Aiyu sat down, he was still a little overwhelmed and asked nervously, "Marquis Dingkang, won't the neighbors gossip about you if you do this?"

"Since we are all neighbors, they naturally know what kind of person I am. I have lived on this street since I was a child, and the older neighbors can be said to have watched me grow up." Chang An said.

"Okay, Madam Zhang, how do you want me to help you? Do you have any plans in mind?"

Zhang Aiyu shook his head and said, "To be honest with Marquis Dingkang, I didn't. I just admired Marquis Dingkang, so I bought the book "Dingkang Cewen" to read, but I never thought..."

"As soon as I saw what was written in the book, I started to get scared, so I came directly to find Marquis Ding Kang."

"Does anyone else know about this? The fact that you are pregnant." Chang An asked.

"Yes, Madam Su Meng also knows." Zhang Aiyu and Su Meng often perform on the same stage as the faces of Pingkangfang, so they are naturally familiar with each other. How could the story in the book where two women fight over one man happen?

"Su Meng also knows..."

Chang An sighed. If he really wanted help, it would not work just to go to that Mr. Li. He had to say something to make others believe him, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.

But if I do this, it would be an invasion of other people's privacy, and I would definitely resist it in my heart - what does the openness of the Tang Dynasty have to do with me, Chang Yonghe!

Chang An rubbed his brows and began to feel conflicted. Zhang Aiyu saw Chang An's expression and thought he wanted to change his mind, so he quickly said, "If Marquis Dingkang needs you, I will answer whatever you ask. No matter what the question is, I will tell you everything I know. I only hope that Marquis Dingkang can... help my child."

"If I ask you to help, I will definitely help, but this... this is your own privacy, Madam Zhang, I can't..."

"I'm not afraid. As long as it's what Marquis Dingkang needs, I will never hide it. Besides, there are only you and your wife at this time, no outsiders." Zhang Aiyu said, gently touching her belly.

No outsiders? Big sister, why don't you go to the yard and take a look at the roof? Our two embroiderers are guarding it right now.

But even though he was complaining, Chang An thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, forget it. Madam Zhang, I really have no right to know your private affairs."

Seeing Chang An's resistance, Zhang Aiyu's eyes dimmed. Chang An didn't notice her subtle change, and continued, "I do have a way, but it may make Madam Zhang feel wronged for a few days."

Zhang Aiyu raised his head at this time, looked at Chang An expectantly, and asked, "Please tell me, Lord Dingkang, is there anything I can do for you?"

"You don't really need to do anything for this, just wait a few days." Chang An said, "My method is very simple. Find the author of this book and sue him for defamation."

Just like in modern times, if there are any disputes or problems, just call the police. But now, instead of calling the police, they call the government. They are not afraid of favoritism. They are a marquis, and they can crush people with a higher rank. When the time comes, they can sit there and see if the county magistrate has the courage to show favoritism.

"Sue the government?" Zhang Aiyu was confused and surprised.

"Yes, sue the government. Hasn't Madam Zhang thought of this solution?" Chang An asked. He has lived in Chang'an for so long, and the city is divided into two counties, Chang'an County and Wannian County, with Zhuque Street as the boundary. Anrenfang where he lives is in Wannian County.

Zhang Aiyu said, "But...but I don't know who Li Dada is. Even if I sue the government, I don't know who the other party is, so I can't go to court."

"So, let me find that person. After I find him, I will tell Madam Zhang who he is and what his name is." Chang An smiled and said.

"Will it not be possible to sue him by name? Moreover, this is Chang'an City, under the feet of the emperor. I will personally go to the court. Am I still afraid that someone will not handle it impartially?"

"And the grievances I'm talking about require Madam Zhang to speak out her own affairs in court, and every word must be true. I wonder if Madam Zhang can bear it?"

As he spoke, Chang An's expression became serious.

After hearing Chang An's method, Zhang Aiyu did not hesitate, but nodded firmly and said, "Marquis Dingkang, I have said that I am willing to do anything you ask me to do."

Isn't it just exposing your own dirty deeds? Why not?

"I can bear such grievances, so please rest assured, Marquis Dingkang, I will tell the truth."

Zhang Aiyu's eyes were determined, and there was no sign of wavering. Chang An nodded and said, "In that case, what else do you have to worry about, Madam Zhang?"

Zhang Aiyu stood up at this time, and then held her belly and bowed respectfully to Chang An, saying: "Thank you, Marquis Dingkang, now that this matter is settled, I don't have any worries anymore."

"I dare not disturb Marquis Dingkang and his wife any further. I will take my leave now."

Chang An said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Madam Zhang is pregnant and it's not convenient for her to travel. Why don't you wait for a while? I'll have someone prepare a carriage for you."

"I dare not do this. Today I have already troubled Marquis Dingkang with such a thing, and I must not trouble Marquis Dingkang again." Zhang Aiyu said in fear and trepidation.

Gu Li had listened for such a long time without saying anything, but now he spoke up and said, "Madam Zhang, just take a rest for a while. It won't take long to prepare a carriage. It's not a big deal."

Zhang Aiyu turned her eyes to Gu Li at this time, and then saw her gentle smile, which made her stunned for a moment. What is her identity? Even if she was a former courtesan, it was not certain that anyone would give her a smile.

Helplessly, Zhang Aiyu had to sit down, and only stood up after the maid came over to say that the carriage was ready. Then, she was helped out of the main hall by two maids, got on the carriage and left.

At this time, Gu Li asked, "It seems that Madam Zhang is not having a easy time either."

"It's not easy to begin with. Living can't be easy." Chang An sighed and said.

"But why does Chang Lang want to help Madam Zhang? In the current situation, shouldn't he stay away from her?" Gu Li asked puzzledly.

"No reason, just because Madam Zhang is a mother, that's all." Chang An said, "Who can refuse the request of a mother who devotes all her heart to her child?"

Gu Li nodded in agreement, and then asked, "But how should Chang Lang find that Mr. Li?"

"This is easy. I have my own way." Chang An said, "Since you have agreed, I am sure of it."

After saying that, Chang An stood up and said, "It's almost time. I'll go to the kitchen to arrange tonight's meals. Madam Gu, please go back to your room and wait for me."

"Ah."

Gu Li nodded, and then watched Chang An leave the main hall. On the way to the kitchen, Chang Qi and her sister suddenly jumped down from above and shouted, "Young Master."

"If you two are free in the next two days, go find out who that Mr. Li is. After you find him out, find a time to report to me. The sooner the better."

"Yes, son."

Then, Chang An went to the kitchen while thinking, and after giving some simple instructions, he walked back, thinking as he walked:

Since Su Meng also knows about this matter, then I will go find Su Meng and ask her about this matter. Thinking about it, I returned to the room, only to find Gu Li in the room, sitting in front of the dressing table, holding a box in his hand, which seemed to contain something.

Chang An came forward and asked, "What is Gu Niang doing? What is she locking?"

"I'm locking the book." Gu Li locked the book with the key, and then casually threw the key in front of his dressing table.

"This Dingkang Cewen is full of slander and rumors. If I continue to read it, wouldn't I be helping the tyrant?" Gu Li said, "But this is given to me by my father, so I can't throw it away. So I locked the book up and stopped reading it."

"makes sense......"
