Chapter 84 Shock

Just after the morning court session, many ministers came to visit the general's mansion.

Gu Junqing had anticipated this and ordered people to guard secretly in the general's mansion in advance, while he himself waited in the front yard.

Some of these ministers came to visit her sincerely, some just followed the trend or were just being polite, and the rest had ulterior motives and came to test her personally.

Gu Junqing felt a little impatient after dealing with Chu Shen. He was thinking of finding a reason to ask someone to close the door of the mansion when Ji Rang arrived.

Helpless, it was impossible to chase them out, so she had to stand up from the chair and wait.

"How is Yu Cheng?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with him, Ji Rang asked. "The bandit problem has been eliminated, very good."

Gu Junqing didn't think much about it and just replied in a businesslike manner. After all, many ministers had asked the same question just now.

There was a moment of silence, and neither of them spoke.

Ji Rang didn't know what to say for a moment. Looking at Gu Junqing opposite him with her beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Gu Junqing noticed it and asked, "Does Ji Xiang have other important matters, or are you curious about Yu Cheng's follow-up?"

Since no one has spoken up, I'd better speak up first, so that I can resolve the issue as soon as possible and close the door as soon as possible.

"without"

"?"

Gu Junqing looked at the young man in front of her in confusion. Why did he look for her for no reason? If he was being polite, he should have found an excuse to leave by now. Now he was sitting here without speaking or talking. Could it be that he wanted her to accompany him and just stare? Although she knew that Ji Rang was the emperor's man, and it was natural that the two of them were both staff members, Gu Junqing always remembered the past few years. Perhaps it was separated by past and present lives, she still remembered how the man in front of her squeezed and laughed at her, and even how she almost got her identity exposed when she was a woman disguised as a man when she was young.

The secret of disguising herself as a man is Gu Junqing's bottom line. No one can touch it except Qingyi Qinghe, who has been with her since she was a child, and Nanny Chen.

Because of his young age, Gu Junqing really has no patience with Ji Rang.

Just as she was trying to find a reason to expel her, Ji Rang raised his head and looked at her with his gentle eyes:

"It is said that the concubine of the Shen family is in the general's mansion. I wonder how General Gu is handling it now?"

Gu Junqing was about to say something to order her to leave, but she choked it back. Seeing the young man opposite her with his eyes downcast, he thought for a long time and suddenly asked such a question. She was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of amusement: "Oh? Ji is interested in this girl?"

Seeing her smile, Ji Rang also smiled, but after hearing her question, the smile on his lips froze for a moment, then he frowned and said:

"It's just a casual question. After all, there are rumors in the capital that the general has kept the concubine of the Shen family in a golden house and doted on her."

What the hell?

Gu Junqing frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the rumor: "Rumors are just rumors after all, and they can't be trusted. Doesn't Ji Xiang know this truth?"

After a pause, he still felt uncomfortable, and then explained: "It's just that I think the Second Miss Shen is still useful. If we abandon her, wouldn't the Shen family lose the handle if she is gone?"

It turned out that Shen Lianyu had the Shen family's leverage. No wonder she kept an outsider in the general's mansion for so long... Speaking of leverage, Gu Junqing remembered that she had promised Shen Lianyu to avenge her aunt, but she had delayed it for more than a month. Although she disliked this woman now, it was indeed too perfunctory.

"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been completed, so if Ji Xiang has anything else he wants to say, if I knew, I would definitely tell Ji Xiang now."

If not, you are good to go.

This was Gu Junqing's implication, and Ji Rang obviously heard it.

So he had to get up and say goodbye. Before leaving, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself. Gu Junqing had already turned around and was no longer looking at him.

He had no choice but to walk out of the mansion.

Seeing that Ji Rang had completely left the Gu Mansion, Gu Junqing didn't know what she was thinking. After standing there for a while, she turned around and went to another place.

At this time Duan Jun just rushed back from outside. When he saw Gu Junqing, he thought it would be better for him to follow him. Gu Junqing just glanced at him without saying anything or giving any instructions, and let Duan Jun follow him.

It was true that she had stayed in Suzhou for so long, and the men in the mansion were all rough men, and they didn't know how to treat the delicate Shen Lianyu.

After the last incident, Shen Lianyu was taken to a dark room in the mansion by Duan Jun.

The capital city is so big that the rich and powerful would build a secret room or basement in their house to be prepared for any eventuality. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so this secret room can also be used to hide people.

It wasn't damp underneath, but rather dry. Gu Junqing glanced around. Duan Jun followed behind her and saw her standing still. He couldn't help but ask:

"General?"

Hearing the sound, Gu Junqing turned to look at him, with a look in his eyes that Duan Jun couldn't understand. He was stunned. Just as he was thinking about asking, he heard Gu Junqing say:

"Where is Shen Lianyu staying?"

Duan Jun: “…”

He had racked his brains to think that this was what the general was worried about.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to walk in front to lead the way for his master.

Soon they walked into a small room.

This place is not like other prison cells, with only an iron door and a stone bed made of straw. Here there is a desk, a wooden bed, tea, pastries, and even a beauty couch.

There was indeed a beauty on the beauty bed, but her face was pale and sickly, her body was slender and thin, her eyelids were trembling, as if a frightened butterfly was flying around her eyelashes, and her lips were pale.

It was Shen Lianyu. Gu Junqing unlocked the door and walked in.

Standing a few steps away from the beauty bed, looking at this person.

Shen Lianyu seemed not to notice someone coming in. She lay motionless on the couch, without making any sound, as if she was asleep.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows, walked in front of her, and wanted to see what she was doing.

But before she could step forward, the man pounced on her.

After Gu Junqing subconsciously caught the person, he found that this person shamelessly stood on tiptoes and kissed his chin. After a pause, he was still not satisfied and wanted to stand on tiptoes higher and kiss his lips!

Gu Junqing was shocked by Shen Lianyu's behavior. He didn't expect that Shen Lianyu would be so bold after not seeing her for only half a month.

Duan Jun was also shocked by Shen Lianyu's sudden action. You know, Qingyi and Qinghe, the maids of General Gu, teased Gu Junqing about their one-night stand and the two women's romantic affairs outside, but in fact, he knew that in the mansion, Gu Junqing never forced Qingyi and Qinghe, and even did not let anyone serve him at night.

He had come here to follow the general when he was seven years old, and he had long known that the general had been chaste from childhood to adulthood and had never been interested in women!
