Chapter 132

Gu Junqing glanced at the ground, turned his back, and sighed in his heart.

After everything was settled, Gu Junqing stopped and entered the Shen Mansion with these people.

It was really a lot of trouble, but after going around in circles I still didn't get her in.

When Gu Junqing thought of this, he couldn't help wanting to laugh, but when he actually sneaked into the Shen Mansion with others to meet Duke Shen and report things, Gu Junqing put his thoughts aside.

Obviously, she came to the Shen Mansion on a whim, but seeing that Duke Shen sent people here, she didn't know how long he had been waiting for her in the dark. Why did she always feel that he had been waiting for a long time, just to wait for her to fall into his trap?

He was gritting his teeth inwardly but remained expressionless.

It is now one o'clock in the morning, and many people in the capital have fallen into a deep sleep long before this time, but there are always exceptions, like myself.

And there is Duke Shen.

Gu Junqing stood slightly behind the Shen family team. It was neither a good nor a bad position. After all, she was far away and could not see the expression on Duke Shen's face when he spoke. But also, because she was far away, Duke Shen might not be able to recognize that the real Shen Shiyi was no longer the same person.

Gu Junqing imitated the actions of the people around him and lowered his head, motionless, looking at the ground, quietly listening to Duke Shen sitting on the high chair at the head, his eyes swept across the Shen family team as if it was real, and he did not forget to talk about the assassin just now:

"Regarding the assassin's attack on my Shen Mansion today, fortunately I had anticipated it, otherwise our Shen Mansion would not be a place where people could come and go as they please. But you don't even know what this assassin looks like, which really disappoints me. It seems that your training level is still not enough. Starting tomorrow..."

At this point, Lord Shen hesitated for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After glancing around, he looked in the direction where Gu Junqing was standing. He paused and continued:

"Let Shen Shiyi be your training captain."

Everyone was confused by Duke Shen's sudden decision. I looked at you, you looked at me, and finally everyone looked at Gu Junqing, with different expressions on their faces.

It's not a good look anyway.

Gu Junqing lowered her head even deeper, and accepted Duke Shen's decision with a calm face. In order to highlight the truth and not let people doubt her, she looked calm but her eyes showed excitement and pride. She looked around at the other members of the Shen family team and finally at the former captain. She stopped her gaze for a second before retracting it.

Duke Shen seemed to have expected Shen Shiyi's behavior when he saw her doing this, but he did not say anything to stop her.

Gu Junqing couldn't help sweating in his palms, and he couldn't help but start to suspect that Duke Shen might have discovered something.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise it would have been terrible.

"Alright, everyone disperse. Recently, send more people to watch over Youlan Courtyard. After all, I don't know where the rumor came from that there is a secret hidden in the Youlan Courtyard of the Shen Mansion. Damn it!"

After saying these words, Duke Shen waved his sleeves, and the elegant demeanor he always displayed in front of outsiders disappeared completely, and he left the dark room with a gloomy face.

Following behind him was Hua Wu, who was by his side, but before he left, he still took one more look at Shen Shiyi, also known as Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing did not move, his plain and featureless face was full of respect.

Hua Wu then withdrew his inquiring gaze and turned around to follow Duke Shen out. After getting through these two people, it was time to face this group of people.

Gu Junqing pursed her lips, turned around, and tried hard not to look at the hateful eyes of the group of resentful men behind her. She only wanted to leave here.

Maybe because once I leave, they might not have training tomorrow, so I can be jealous now.

Gu Junqing smiled indifferently, then followed the others out of the darkroom.

They arrived at their resting place. It was already three quarters past midnight and there was a faint white light outside. Gu Junqing felt that something was wrong. She was unwilling to work all night only to find nothing. So, when everyone was asleep, she switched times with Shen Er, who was on duty in Youlan Courtyard, and asked Shen Er to take over Shen Shiyi's night duty tomorrow.

Shen Er agreed. Shen Wu, who was standing behind them, glanced at them and spit out the grass in his mouth. He looked Shen Shiyi up and down and said disdainfully, "I don't know why the master likes you and insists on having you be the training captain. You look so delicate and weak that it really makes me worry that Shiyi's hands will be broken in the next second."

Shen Wu didn't stop talking while he was moving, and the next second he really stretched out his hand to fight with Gu Junqing. Gu Junqing was thinking about sneaking into Youlan Courtyard, and when she saw Shen Wu bumping into her, she became a little impatient, and then she dislocated Shen Wu's hand with one hand, and then she chopped Shen Wu down with a knife, knocking him unconscious with a palm.

It was finally quiet.

Gu Junqing sighed deeply and glanced at Shen Wu lying on the ground. She saw him lying unconscious beside the stone lion at the gate of the courtyard. After stepping past his feet, she pushed open the gate of Youlan Courtyard and then closed it.

As soon as he entered, Gu Junqing discovered that the appearance of Youlan Courtyard was not like this compared to the first time he came here.

At that time, the Orchid Courtyard was empty, full of dust and very few things, even the blood-stained coat of a servant was on the couch. Now, someone has ordered the place to be cleaned up, the whole courtyard is elegant and fresh without any dust, and a new quilt has been placed on the couch, and the coat is gone.

Seeing this, Gu Junqing walked to the dressing table helplessly. This was the place that Shen Lianyu's aunt Liu had used. It was said that under the wooden bricks under the dressing table was the image of Liu seeing Duke Shen killing his wife with his own hands.

When he first started to feel around, he found nothing and instead his hands were covered in dust. Gu Junqing ignored the dust on his hands for the time being and just continued to grope the ground.

After searching for a long time, Gu Junqing finally found a similar bulge in the corner of the dressing table. She pressed the ground lightly with her hand, and sure enough, the bulge moved up a few inches. Gu Junqing put her hand in the book, took it out, and was about to take a closer look with her eyes wide open.

However, he didn't have a fire starter in his hand, so Gu Junqing couldn't see clearly what the book cover in his hand looked like.

Gu Junqing had no intention of staying in such a dark place where she couldn't see anything, so she hugged the book tightly in her arms, woke Shen Wu up, and then took the jade token hanging in her arms out of her hand. Before Shen Wu looked over, Gu Junqing threw the jade token in his face with an extremely arrogant attitude.

Seeing this, Shen Wu was successfully hit by Gu Junqing and fainted again.
