The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

The lady doesn't have to do anything except eating, drinking, having fun, and dressing herself up happily every day. What serious work can she do?

Could it be that I was not successful in fishing last time and didn’t get to eat the fish I caught?

Are you going to make up for it this time?

Well, that is indeed a serious matter for the young lady, Jin Ling nodded unconsciously in affirmation.

"Jin Ling, what are you thinking about so intently? Hurry up and catch up!" Gu Yunyan had already stepped out of the door, but found that the person didn't catch up, so she stopped and turned back to call her.

Jin Ling came back to her senses and trotted after him, saying, "Here I come, Miss!"

Seeing that she was twisting her handkerchief guiltily, Gu Yunyan didn't ask any more questions.

She knew what Jin Ling was thinking without even thinking, so there was no need to ask.

When it was almost dark, Gu Yunyan was woken up by Jin Ling: "Miss, Miss, we are here, please wake up."

"Hmm?" Gu Yunyan raised her hand and rubbed her eyes and asked, "Are we at Koi Village?"

So fast today?

Jin Ling shook her head and straightened her clothes and hair: "No, we are in town. It is getting late now, we will stay in the inn in town tonight and go to the village tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion outside.

"Boss, there are clearly vacant courtyards in your store. We are not unwilling to pay, so why can't we let my young lady move in?"

Guard Li, who was hired by Mr. Gu at a high price, had a furious look on his face.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want you to stay here." The innkeeper explained with a smile on his face, "It's just that our inn has been booked by someone..."

"Stop, just tell me how much money that man gave you. How about I give you double it?" Gu Yunyan jumped off the carriage and said generously.

"Miss." The guards and maids of the Gu family shouted in unison.

She nodded and continued to say to the shopkeeper: "Tell me how much you want. I won't give you a penny less."

This inn is the largest in town, and she brought dozens of people here.

This is the only place that can accommodate so many people.

The shopkeeper was very tempted, but thinking of the person who had booked the inn, he could only reluctantly refuse: "Our inn has already received the money from that guest. We can't go back on our word. If the news gets out, our inn's business will be ruined."

Their inn couldn't afford to offend that person's background.

"There is no reason to push money away when doing business. Do you look down on our Gu family? You can't even give us a little face?" Jin Ling was anxious.

Are they going to let the young lady sleep in the carriage late at night?

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd watching started talking.

"Gu family? Are you talking about the Gu family in the prefecture city?"

"It should be. She does look like Miss Gu. Look, red clothes and whip, isn't that what Miss Gu likes?"

"You all know about Miss Gu falling into the sea a month ago, right?"

"I know, I know! Everyone knows that. Master Gu has promised to give two thousand taels of silver to whoever finds Miss Gu!"

"Miss Gu was rescued by Liu Da and his gang from Jinli Village."

"Two thousand taels are shared by a dozen people, so each person can get a hundred and ten taels. Although it's not much, it's enough to support one or two years of nobility!"

As they talked, their focus was on money.

After calculating the two thousand taels of silver, they began to wonder how much Gu Yunyan would pay to stay in the inn.

The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, you are wronging me!"

"That--"

Just as Jin Ling was about to continue speaking, Gu Yunyan interrupted her: "Jin Ling, let's go!"

"Miss, there are so many of us, and only this inn is the largest and can accommodate us."

"Then live separately."

Guard Li said in embarrassment: "Miss, I'm afraid this won't work. The master said that we must stay with you all the time and not let anything happen to you."

The guard Gu in front of him was driven away because he made a mistake and failed to protect Miss Gu.

It was his first time going out with the lady, so he couldn't make any mistakes.

Snapped!

Gu Yunyan raised her hand and swung a whip on the ground, pretending to look up at the shaking window on the second floor casually, and said impatiently with her chin raised.

"What kind of danger can there be in this town? Let's go and find an inn to stay in. I'm hungry."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the carriage. After she had taken a few steps, someone called her.

"Miss Gu!"

Gu Yunyan raised the corner of her mouth, but she didn't stop and continued walking forward, not intending to pay attention to him.

The man shouted in a slightly urgent voice.

"Miss Gu, don't leave! I'm Guan Fuqing. I've booked this inn. There's a vacant courtyard. You can move in with your people."

Close and pay off?

Jin Ling turned around and saw that it was indeed a graceful and handsome young scholar who had chased after her.

She grinned.

"Miss, it's really the Third Young Master of the Guan Family! We don't have to look for another inn!"

Hearing this, Gu Yunyan stopped.

She turned around and ran back in surprise. When she stopped again, her eyes were bright, her face was full of joy, and she looked into the inn while breathing slightly.

"Brother Guan, why are you here? Is Sister Ying here too? Where is she?"

Guan Fuqing curved his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said gently: "My third sister didn't come, and mother left her at home to learn housekeeping."

At the age of fifteen, she will be marrying her fiancé in a few years, so how can she run around outside all day?

Gu Yunyan lowered her head in disappointment, and the hand holding the whip also dropped.

Seeing her depressed, Guan Fuqing frowned and said, "Let me take you in. There is a large courtyard in the inn that is empty. You can just stay there."

In fact, the place was empty and no one lived there.

Instead, it was urgently vacated while Gu Yunyan and the others were negotiating with the shopkeeper.

As he led the way, he asked, "By the way, why are you here, Miss Gu?"

"I came here to look for Liu Da and Liu Qi. They saved me last time, but I only gave them a little money. I don't know how they are doing now."

? ? ! !

Guan Fuqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be this. He thought, he thought she knew it from her third sister...

He looked up at the door of the No. 1 private room on the second floor, which had a crack.

It turned out that he was not chasing someone. For some reason, he suddenly felt relieved and relaxed all over.

The smile in his eyes couldn't help but deepen.

He brought Gu Yunyan to the courtyard and left without staying for long, using the excuse of going back to the house to wash up and sleep, but in fact he turned around and went to the No. 1 box on the second floor.

"Your Highness, Miss Gu has already moved in."

Seeing Pei Qinyu taking a sip of tea, turning the cup around, staring at her without saying a word, with an unclear expression, he continued to tell her what he had found out.

"Miss Gu came here by chance. She came to the fishing village to look for the fishermen who saved her."

Click!

It was the sound of something breaking.

He was startled and his eyes fell on Pei Qinyu's hand. The hand that had just been turning the teacup was covered in blood.

"Your Highness, you are injured! I will go back to the house to get medicine."

Pei Qinyu's expression remained calm, and she said calmly, "No need, it's just a minor injury."

"But your highness's hand is bleeding. It will heal faster if you apply some medicine."

It also makes people feel more at ease. Such a minor injury would not matter to others, because the person in front of him is not an ordinary person, but the crown prince of the current dynasty.

"I told you not to use medicine!"

A cold and angry voice suddenly reached Guan Fuqing's ears, and he was startled.

During this period of time, he had never seen Pei Qinyu have too many emotional fluctuations.

The other party has been calm and reserved all the time, making it difficult to tell his true nature.

As the crown prince and the future king, it is very convincing.

Why are you suddenly angry now?

----

Pei Qinyu didn't know what was wrong with her. She just saw Gu Yunyan and Guan Fuqing talking and laughing at the door of the inn.

And when I heard her call out "Brother Guan San" with my own ears, I felt very upset.

Haha, he laughed at himself.

She wasn't looking for him at all. He was just being sentimental. He thought that if he gave her many precious jewels as a thank you and apology gift, she would calm down.

So I asked him to help, but to my surprise, it was all just his own imagination.

Seeing Guan Fuqing still in the house, he was inexplicably annoyed and waved his hand, "Get out, you are not needed here."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the people really walked out, he called out again: "Wait."

"Your Highness, do you have anything else to tell Fuqing?" Guan Fuqing turned around and bowed to ask.

Pei Qinyu's eyes were gloomy.

Her eyes slid from his face to the box with osmanthus patterns engraved on it in his hands: "What are you holding in your hands?"

"It's the thank-you gift that Miss Gu just gave to Fu Qing." When Guan Fu Qing mentioned Gu Yunyan, there was a gentle smile in his eyes, "It contains a sweet-scented osmanthus cheese cake."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Qinyu's eye color had changed again and again.

Osmanthus cheese cake!

This is Gu Yunyan’s favorite. Even Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu don’t eat it and leave it for her.

She is now giving it to Guan Fuqing as a thank-you gift?

Didn't she say she liked him and wanted to marry him? But he had never even smelled it, let alone eaten it.

He felt even more restless than before.

But he tried hard to suppress it, turned his head and looked towards the sea outside the window, and said, "Keep an eye on Miss Gu, don't let her get into danger, it's not safe recently."

Judging from the information we received, those people are coming again.

"Yes, Your Highness." Even if he didn't say it, Guan Fuqing would pay special attention to it, because Gu Yunyan was the third sister's favorite friend.

As to whether this reason is credible, only he himself knows.

.......

Secretly peeking at the screen, Gu Yunyan saw what happened in the box from the system, and said with a smile: "If I don't go to the mountain, let the mountain come to me."

System: 【? ? 】What is the host saying?

It was the middle of the night and everyone was asleep.

A stealthy figure came out from the back room where the guards lived, avoided the other guards on duty and Pei Qinyu's men, and sneaked into the room where Gu Yunyan lived.

Just as the man was about to walk around the screen and reach the bed in the inner room.

Gu Yunyan half-opened her eyes and pretended to be dazed and shouted, "Jinling, water, I want to drink water."

The sneaky figure staggered upon hearing the sound and strode into the inner room.

Calculating the time, when the other person was about to reach the bed, Gu Yunyan turned her head to look over, her eyes widened in an instant, and their eyes met, and they were both shocked.

"what--!!"

"Someone come! There's a flower thief coming in! There's an assassin!"

The masked man's eyes changed, and he stepped forward quickly, drew his sword, and threatened in a low voice: "Don't shout! If you shout again, I will kill you immediately..."

call out!

Sizzle! Bang!

A dagger pierced into his throat, and both the knife and the man fell to the ground instantly, twitching all over and spitting blood!

In a short period of time.

A tall dark gold-colored figure rushed in before Guard Li, Jin Ling and others.

Gu Yunyan immediately rushed over and hugged the person, crying, "Jin Ling!"

"Where did you go just now? I asked you to get some water while I was half asleep, but it wasn't you who came in. It was a masked man with a knife. I thought I would never see my parents again!"

The person who came was tense, frozen in place, motionless, and didn't say a word.

Seeing her crying sadly with her eyes closed and her face full of fear, he hesitantly placed his slightly open arms on her back and gently stroked it, silently comforting her.

Guard Li and Jin Ling who came in later were horrified.

The room was dark and they couldn't see who was behind them. They just thought it was a thief who was touching their daughter, and she was crying!

"Stop! Who are you? Let our young lady go!"

Gu Yunyan's crying stopped abruptly, she loosened her arms around his neck and shrank back into the bed.

He subconsciously held her in his arms.

Gu Yunyan's bright eyes were still tightly closed, her whole body was shaking with fear, and her voice was trembling.

"You are not Jin Ling, let me go! Don't hurt me, my family is rich, I will let my father give you whatever you want."

His heart ached for no reason, and he said in a gentle voice: "It's me, Guan Yuqin, don't be afraid."

He didn't want to see her being afraid of him.

Jin Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Young Master Guan. Now she felt relieved.

She knew who it was, but Guard Li didn't know.

He had a fierce face, holding a big knife that was shining with cold light in his hand, and stared at Pei Qinyu closely.

Especially when Gu Yunyan realized that the person she was hugging was not a bad guy, but Pei Qinyu.

She cried even louder, and instead of pushing him away, she punched his back with her fists, cursing, "You bastard! You're bad! Let me go!"

Having said that, she tightened her other arm around his neck.

Jin Ling saw it clearly and realized that the young lady was just talking, and there was no fear on her face.

Guard Li, who also heard this, became even more nervous.

Seeing that Pei Qinyu was not interested in them, he had an idea and raised his sword and walked towards them quietly.

A group of guards armed with knives rushed in and took Guard Li down.

"What are you doing?! I'm not the thief, the one inside is! You caught the wrong person!" Guard Li was anxious and confused.

"My young lady is still in the hands of the thieves, please save her!"

The leader of the guards gave him a speechless look, then glanced at the real thief who was stabbed in the throat by a dagger on the ground.

He stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Master."

Pei Qinyu was gentle and patient with Gu Yunyan. She only gave him a cold look and asked in a deep voice, "How did the thief sneak into the inn and Miss Gu's room?"

The chief guard lowered his head in shame.

"It was my fault. I failed to find out in time that there was a thief hiding among Miss Gu's guards. Miss Gu was almost harmed. I will go down and accept the punishment now."

When he left, he not only took the body away, but also took out guard Li, Jin Ling and others.

It was the first time he saw His Highness being so gentle and intimate to a woman.

We cannot allow anyone to ruin the time His Highness spends with the beauty.

Guard Li wanted to struggle, but Jin Ling persuaded him: "He is not an outsider. He saved the young lady before and stayed in the mansion for a few days to recover from his injuries."

"Don't worry, he won't harm the young lady."

Judging from the situation, the young lady might be very happy in her heart, and she couldn't ruin her happiness.

Look at how confidently she spoke.

Guard Li gave up struggling immediately and stood guard outside the door with her and Pei Qinyu's guards.

Guan Fuqing, who ran over last, looked anxious and wanted to break in.

He was stopped by the guards who stayed behind.

"Why are you stopping me? If something happens to Miss Gu, what will you use to explain to your master?"

It’s strange, why did he sleep so soundly tonight?

It took him so long to wake up?
