My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Seeing this, the ministers could no longer bear the grudge. They thought that this young marquis was just a rabbit with some talent, but they never thought that he was a tiger in rabbit skin, and Zhang Jiazhen was the one stroking the tiger's beard.

Chang An did not look at these ministers, but helped Gu Li back to the main courtyard. Although someone outside was making people feel uncomfortable, the food was still laid out in the courtyard. When Huaiqin returned to the main courtyard, Chang An waved and said:

"You are the only one missing. Come and sit down to eat."

"Yes, son."

Gu Li took the lead in picking up the bowl and chopsticks, and together with Chang An, he served food to each other. Then Gu Li asked, "Chang Lang?"

"uh-huh?"

"Doesn't everyone say that Zhang Jiazhen is talented but lacks moral integrity? Why are there so many people pleading for him?" Gu Li asked at this time.

"Because they are working for Zhang Jiazhen." Chang An replied indifferently.

Gu Li was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean? Aren't those officials working for His Majesty? How can they say they are working for Zhang Jiazhen?"

Chang An smiled and asked, "Wasn't Gu Niang a businessman before?"

"Well, what happened?"

"How do businessmen establish friendships?" Chang An asked with a smile.

"Of course it's benefits." Gu Li said without hesitation.

"Those who come to plead for Zhang Jiazhen are naturally motivated by profit. Merchants pursue profit and form alliances. They prosper together and suffer together." Chang An explained, "These ministers are the same. If Zhang Jiazhen falls, the officials who followed him will naturally lose a lot of benefits. Of course, they want to protect Zhang Jiazhen."

Gu Li nodded and continued eating.

After lunch, Chang An held Gu Li in the study room.

"Hmm!!! Mother Gu smells so good!" Chang An rubbed Gu Li's face as usual today, but as he smelled it, he seemed to feel that there was some different smell on Gu Li's body.

"But why can't I smell it myself? What do I smell like today?" Gu Li asked in a naive tone.

Chang An sniffed it carefully and said, "It smells a bit... milky."

"Milk scent?" Gu Li raised his hand and put it to his nose to smell it. Then he said in surprise: "Really? I smell it too! Did Chang Lang make a new soap with milk scent recently?"

Chang An said with some amusement: "How is that possible? Has Gu Niang seen me go to the kitchen during this period?"

"That's not the case." Gu Li shook his head. "I know what Chang Lang has been doing these days... accompanying me, hugging me, kissing me, taking advantage of me and..."

Chang An happily hugged Gu Li and swayed on the spot. Gu Li asked again: "Why do I have a milky smell? Is it my original smell?"

"No, Mrs. Gu originally had the scent of flowers, but today it suddenly turned into the scent of milk." Chang An said.

Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Could that be the smell of Xiaoguai?"

"I don't know, maybe." Chang An thought about it for a while, and decided to think about it calmly, then kissed Gu Li on the cheek, "No matter what, my super invincible baby, Daguai Gu Niang, is fragrant, and it's right to be fragrant."

"Hum~"

"Look at our Madam Gu's big belly. Isn't the little cutie inside also very cute and sweet?" After rubbing Gu Li, Chang An turned to touch Gu Li's belly, which felt a little bigger.

At this moment, Huaiqin walked to the door of the study and said, "Sir, Sanniang, there is a Madam Zhang at the door, who wants to see you."

"Mrs. Zhang? What Mrs. Zhang?"

Chang An was a little confused, and then he lowered his head slightly to look at Gu Li, and exchanged glances with her. But the other party also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know him. In this case, Chang An couldn't drive her out, so he said, "Okay, let's go over and meet her."

"Is Gu Niang going too?"

"Go ahead, maybe it's someone we know." Gu Li nodded, then walked out with Chang An.

When he arrived at the door, he found a woman standing outside, but behind her were two constables with two knives hanging from their backs. Chang An walked up to her and asked politely:

"Meet Madam Zhang."

"I dare not, I dare not." The woman seemed to be dressed luxuriously, but at this moment she was kneeling down to Chang An and appeared to be very respectful.

"Mrs. Zhang, why are you here today? If I can help, I will certainly lend a hand." Chang An did not put on airs, which surprised Mrs. Zhang.

But soon, she returned to her normal humble appearance and said, "Marquis Dingkang, you are joking. I am just a woman, and the wife of a guilty minister. How can I deserve such courtesy from you, Marquis Dingkang?"

The wife of a criminal? Chang An looked at the two well-dressed police officers with double swords behind the woman and asked, "Who are you?"

"In reply to Marquis Dingkang, the two of us are detectives from the Dali Temple. This morning, His Majesty ordered the arrest of the criminal Zhang Jiazhen and the surveillance of his family members. Once the matter of Zhang Jiazhen's bribery is fully investigated, we will punish him together."

"If that's the case, then Madam Zhang, you are Zhang Jiazhen's wife?" Chang An's face was slightly frosty at this time, "Madam Zhang, just get straight to the point, what's the matter?"

Madam Zhang said, "I know that my beloved offended the other day and intended to harm Marquis Dingkang and his wife. I dare not ask you to calm down, let alone ask you to forgive me."

"Oh? Isn't Mrs. Zhang here to beg for mercy today?" Chang An asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Of course not. I just want to see my beloved." Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and said very respectfully.

Chang An was amused at this point, and asked, "Zhang Jiazhen is imprisoned in the Dali Temple, not in my home. If Madam Zhang wants to see Zhang Jiazhen, shouldn't she go to the Dali Temple Minister or His Majesty? Why are you looking for me?"

Madam Zhang said, "I have also asked for permission, but the Dali Temple Minister did not agree. And I have no official position or imperial edict, so it is difficult for me to meet the emperor."

"But I am just a marquis. Since the Supreme Court Minister disagrees, I have no choice." Chang An said.

But Madam Zhang quickly shook her head and said, "Marquis Dingkang, that's not the case. When I went to look for the Dali Temple Minister before, although the Lord did not agree, he would only allow me to go in and visit if you, Marquis Dingkang, went."

Gu Li frowned slightly, and Chang An also laughed a little amusedly. What does the Dali Temple Minister mean by this? If Chang An is not a fool, he will definitely be able to see it -

The Dali Temple Minister was not joking. The reason why he asked Madam Zhang to come and ask Chang An in person was first to give Chang An a chance to embarrass the other party's wife. After all, the other party wanted to kidnap and murder his wife, so it was impossible for Chang An IU to really hold this breath, right?

The second is to show goodwill to Chang An. After all, although Chang An is a marquis with a little power, he is highly valued by the emperor. Moreover, the emperor said in front of the public that Chang An is the future prince's teacher. When Li Longji steps down, Chang An will be the emperor's teacher, and his status and power are incomparable to ordinary people. It is better to show goodwill to him now, and maybe the other party will help him a little in the future.

Chang An smiled, shook his head, and said, "I don't know why you think I will help you, Madam Zhang? There will be opportunities to meet again later, why rush now?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes dimmed. Yes, why? Her husband was just planning to do something to let them down yesterday, but today she had to beg him to do something for her.

She moved at this time, and took out a dagger from her bosom, which frightened Chang An so much that he immediately protected Gu Li behind him. On the roofs on both sides behind him, Chang Qi and Chang Qi were also ready, quietly approaching the door, ready to attack if the other party made any move.

But after taking out the dagger, Madam Zhang did not do anything else, but knelt down and placed the dagger at Chang An's feet. She said, "If Marquis Dingkang feels angry, you can use this dagger. You can do whatever you want to me, as long as you can help me meet him."

Chang An just looked at her, and the two constables behind her did the same, and they did not move for a long time. Chang An comforted Gu Li and said, "If I disagree, then I don't have to do anything, and Madam can go back and rest."

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and picked up the dagger. The two sisters Chang Qi and Chang Qi bent their bodies and were about to rush out, but their movements stopped immediately.

Because Mrs. Zhang had stabbed the dagger into her chest at this time, Chang An's body moved faster than his brain, and he grabbed Mrs. Zhang before the blade was completely inserted.

"Someone! Go find the doctor!"

"What does Marquis Dingkang mean?" Mrs. Zhang asked with a pale face.

"I should be the one asking Madam Zhang this! What do you mean, Madam Zhang? I have already refused, but why do you want to hurt yourself?" Chang An asked.

"My beloved has hurt Marquis Dingkang. I came to ask for help today just because I am hoping for luck. But whether Marquis Dingkang refuses or not, I will apologize on behalf of my beloved." Mrs. Zhang said.

"I don't have anything valuable in my house, and this is the only solution I can think of."

Chang An immediately let go of his hand and said, "When the doctor comes, I will take you to the Dali Temple, although I don't know whether the Dali Temple Minister will keep his word."

"Thank you, Marquis Dingkang."

Chang An waved his hand and said, "Don't pull out the knife, or else if you bleed to death, don't put the blame on us."

He turned around to comfort Gu Li and asked, "Are you okay? Are you not scared?"

"I am fine."
