The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 177 Trouble

When Ji Rang heard this, his expression froze, and then he turned his eyes away from him, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Maybe in Gu Junqing's heart, he is nothing, at most just a colleague.

Of course, he could only think about it in his heart, but his face was cold and he said:

"Can't you tell what kind of person Gu Junqing is? She is just a reckless man. That's her nature. She has only restrained herself in recent months. Could it be that Master Gu has really been fooled by her honesty over the past few months?"

This statement was so reasonable and well-founded that Gu Jiyan didn't know how to refute it.

Forget it.

Gu Jiyan glanced at him, did not stay any longer, turned around and left Ji's house.

Ji Rang looked at Gu Jiyan's back as he walked away and let out a breath. He thought that Gu Jiyan seemed to be very concerned about Gu Junqing, but Gu Junqing didn't seem to care much about him. He felt that this man was inexplicably more miserable than him. Thinking of this, he felt much better.

The saying that happiness is built on the suffering of others is indeed true.

After leaving Ji's Mansion, Gu Ji Yan did not return to the teahouse near the city gate to continue accompanying Gu Junqing. Instead, he returned to Anyuan Hou's Mansion early and went straight to his bedroom. He also saw Anyuan Hou on the way. Gu Ji Yan was somewhat surprised that Gu Yuli was still in the mansion at this time.

But it was impossible to walk around and pretend that he didn't see it, so Gu Jiyan greeted him honestly. As expected, Gu Yuli slapped him in the face.

It hurt a little, but it was not a big problem. Gu Jiyan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, then turned around and walked around Gu Yuli who was staring at him, and went back to his bedroom. Most of the people in the mansion were Gu Yuli's people. Of course, Gu Jiyan replaced the guards and servants in his yard with his own people, which was safer.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, someone jumped down from the dark. Gu Jiyan, without even raising his head, gave orders to the secret guard who was half-kneeling on the ground, asking him to take people to check what Prince An was doing recently.

The secret guard took the order, turned around and left the room.

I reflect on myself three times a day. Why doesn't my cousin pay attention to me? Is it because I think I'm too noisy? Is he too noisy? Does my cousin hate him?

Gu Junqing had no idea where Gu Jiyan had gone or what he was thinking.

At least we still have to stay at the city gate, but today is not the right time.

Shen Lian'er, who ran away with her face covered yesterday, came again today. Maybe it was because she was rejected too harshly yesterday, so she didn't dare to come forward to communicate with Gu Junqing. She just stood in the teahouse and looked at her eagerly, with a lot of food on the table.

Gu Junqing felt that Shen Lian'er was likely to bring bad luck to her in this life.

She was alone at this time, and Gu Jiyan and Ji Rang were busy with something.

It feels a bit bad to have no one to cover you.

Gu Junqing turned his back and didn't even look at the teahouse.

Today was different from yesterday. We caught a group of salt merchants who claimed to be purchasing salt from a salt shop in the old streets and alleys of Beijing. However, Gu Junqing remembered that the salt shop in the old neighborhood had already received supplies a few days ago, and the second purchase should be about a month later.

Within a few days, they came to purchase more goods, and it was obvious that something was fishy, so this group of people were taken away for interrogation by Gu Junqing's men. As for the salt and goods in that carriage, they had to report to the emperor, who would make the decision.

The people who had been standing near the city gate were all curious when they saw Gu Junqing sending people to take this group of people away. Some even walked forward deliberately to find out what was going on, but were frightened by Gu Junqing's look and took a few steps back and turned around and ran away.

This group of people calmed down, and the common people who had just entered the city watched this series of events up close, all with lingering fear on their faces, fearing that they would be implicated and caught.

Gu Junqing just did what he was supposed to do and stood there without changing his expression.

What she was thinking in her heart was when would the task of guarding the city gate be completed. It was too leisurely here, with almost nothing to do. Could the emperor be giving her a chance to be lazy? That would be great. She was indeed becoming more and more Buddhist, and her mentality was becoming more and more stable.

Shen Lian'er didn't know what Gu Junqing was thinking. She just saw that after she finished giving instructions for the previous thing, she continued to stay where she was and repeat other things. She looked very relaxed, but she didn't even look at the teahouse at all.

She looked at Gu Junqing silently, feeling bitter in her heart, but thinking of her father's support for her and his help in getting Gu Junqing, Shen Lian'er raised her eyes, her gaze became firm, she stepped out of the teahouse, and finally walked towards Gu Junqing. Gu Junqing had his back to her, so she didn't know Shen Lian'er was approaching her. When she realized it, Shen Lian'er was already standing five steps behind her, looking at her eagerly.

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Gu Junqing felt a headache.

"Ms. Shen, I am busy with official business. If you come to see me now, I am afraid I will neglect you."

"No problem, I will just stay by your side and be content with it."

Shen Lian'er blinked and said.

Gu Junqing was speechless.

This can't be driven away.

Gu Junqing thought in embarrassment. Even though the refusal was obvious, Shen Lian'er still insisted on following her, which was a bit difficult.

This was the first time that Gu Junqing had seen such a woman. In the past, he was surrounded by men, and few women approached him on their own initiative. Or rather, there were some, but none as insistent as Shen Lian'er. "Miss Shen, I have official duties to attend to. You should go to a quieter place. There are too many people here, and there are all kinds of gossips. If something happens, Lord Shen will be worried. So please go back, Miss Shen."

Gu Junqing lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, not looking at Shen Lian'er, whose face was filled with sadness and anger after hearing her words, and spoke slowly.

Listening to Gu Junqing's words, Shen Lian'er was indeed very angry, but that was all. She refused to leave. Anyway, she had servants and guards accompanying her. Why should she be afraid of these? She had to follow Gu Junqing.

As the saying goes, love grows over time. I will accompany Gu Junqing to guard the city gate. What if Gu Junqing falls in love with me?

Seeing that Shen Lian'er sneered at her words, what else could Gu Junqing do? Since she was so confident, if something happened later, she should not blame everything on her.

Gu Junqing would never do a scene where a hero saves a beauty but ends up with her marrying him. When will the emperor return her original position? It's all right that she lives a leisurely life here, but there's a young lady by her side, watching her closely. How should she face the pursuit of another woman when she's a man in name only but a woman in reality? What's more, this girl is the eldest daughter of Duke Shen.
