The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"Is there still time for trading?" Gu Jianchu added.

After being left speechless by Lord Rong's questions just now, Gu Geng was now much more cautious.

Gu Geng's pupils spun several times, as if he was thinking. After a while, he said cautiously, "I bought the things yesterday. The woman was wearing a purple dress and had a mole between her eyebrows. She was about the same height as the Empress's maid, but thinner than the one beside the Empress. As for witnesses, I don't have any. The street was relatively empty at the time, and there were not many people around. There was a vendor passing by, but he didn't notice our transaction and just walked away."

【Go ahead and make it up. Just keep making it up.】

Gu Jianchu was not affected at all. "Xiao Fuzi sent a message to Dou Wen, asking him to post notices throughout the city to search for the seller that Gu Geng mentioned. He should also put the jewelry up for sale to see if anyone comes to claim it. Then we will know whether it was stolen or second-hand goods that we spent all our savings on."

Xiao Fuzi took action immediately.

Gu Geng lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty. If he simply looked for the seller he described, he would never find this person. But now Gu Jianchu wanted to post a notice and put the stolen goods out for sale. The young lady from the Wang family who lost her things would definitely know about it. Once she went to the government office to claim them, everything would be over.

Moreover, he is now detained in the palace and cannot get out at all. There is no way to prevent Miss Wang from knowing about this.

Gu Geng regretted coming to the palace.

I failed to coax Rong Zhi into my arms, and now I might even get myself involved. It's not worth it.

Lord Rong looked at Gu Geng's increasingly ugly expression coldly, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

But fortunately, it was the Queen, otherwise this guy would have been able to get away with it.

Xie Qingzhi, supported by Xia Zhi, walked to Gu Geng, bent down to pick up a pile of letters on the ground, and cast a suspicious look at the emperor and empress. "How can there be so many letters? Could they have been stolen from the palace? If they involve some confidential information, wouldn't that be troublesome? Or maybe they are spies from other countries?"

Gu Geng instantly became anxious and wanted to hug Xie Qingzhi's legs, but Xia Zhi quickly kicked him away with the corner of his clothes. "Your Highness, those are all letters I wrote to my family. They were not stolen at all, and they were not from spies from other countries."

"It's not that you're worried about the theft, it's just that there are too many letters. It's not that letters can't be read, and I won't help you spread them." After Xie Qingzhi finished speaking, she opened the family letters in front of everyone.

Seeing the letter being taken out of the envelope, Gu Geng had a heartbroken expression and didn't dare to look at anyone else.

Xie Qingzhi glanced at the letter, then at Gu Geng, who was kneeling on the ground. In front of everyone, he read out the contents of the letter, "My heart is filled with longing for you, my love. In this world of three thousand, I have three loves: the sun and the moon. The sun is for you, the moon is for the sunset, and you are my love for me day and night. Signed: Rong Zhi."

"How did the love letter written to Miss Rong become your family letter? Are you shy and don't dare to show it to everyone? What's there to be shy about? After all, you can talk about elopement, so there's nothing wrong with reading this love letter." After Xie Qingzhi finished speaking, he immediately opened the second copy.

After reading the rest, Xie Qingzhi couldn't help but frown, "Why are the contents of these two love letters the same? Are you sending the same love letter twice?"

"Ms. Rong, have you ever received the same love letter twice?" Xie Qingzhi looked at Rong Zhi who was kneeling beside him.

Rong Zhi's thoughts had been completely pulled back. Facing Xie Qingzhi's question, he shook his head and said, "No."

"Indeed, there isn't one, because the signature at the end is different. This love letter is signed to my dearest Miss Wang Lin."

"It seems that you gave the same love letter to two people separately. While you were having a love affair with Rong Zhi, you were also in contact with another girl. I just don't know if there was a third girl." As Xie Qingzhi said this, he opened all the letters at the back. Indeed, all the signatures were only the names of Rong Zhi and Wang Lin.

"Since you have already written the love letter, why don't you write two different ones? Why do you write two identical ones? I might not even notice if they are different." Xie Qingzhi's tone seemed regretful, but in fact it was full of sarcasm.

Lord Rong reacted quickly and looked at Gu Geng, "You actually kept my daughter and other girls hanging at the same time. You are really a beast. I will beat you to death today."

Lord Rong raised his foot and kicked Gu Geng, and his small fist hit Gu Geng's head unexpectedly. Gu Geng instinctively protected his head.

After Lord Rong had vented his anger, Cheng Song hurried forward to stop him, "Lord Rong, please stop hitting me. If you do, someone will die."

Lord Rong stopped after Cheng Song stopped him and kept rubbing his hurt fist.

Rong Zhi was stunned for a moment before she finally realized what Xie Qingzhi had said. She stepped forward and snatched the letter from Xie Qingzhi's hand. Seeing two identical letters with different signatures, Rong Zhi was extremely disappointed. Her heart ached. She trembled as she walked to Gu Geng. She handed the letter to Gu Geng and asked, "What's going on with this letter? How can there be two identical names? Who is Wang Lin?"

Gu Geng was beaten black and blue by Lord Rong. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers. He knew that this marriage was completely impossible, so he simply took off all his disguises and said, "It's because your father has always disagreed with our marriage. What can I do? I have to think about myself. I can't always rely on you. When I met Miss Wang and she had a crush on me, I wrote her a love letter. Rong Zhi, if your father had agreed to our marriage a long time ago, all these things would not have happened."

Gu Geng pushed all the responsibility onto Rong Zhi.

【He's really a scumbag. 】

[He put all the blame on the girl and cleared himself of all blame. He thinks he's innocent, doesn't he? He thinks he didn't do those things. It's really disgusting.]

【wrong. 】

Xie Qingzhi hesitated and looked at Gu Jianchu.

Something else is wrong.

Gu Geng didn't ask anyone to write these love letters. He was too lazy to copy them himself, so the handwriting is different.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. These are all excuses to deceive you. If he really wanted to marry you, he wouldn't be pursuing you while writing letters to other girls. Instead, he should strive for progress. Even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination, he should work hard to make money and prove to you that you can live a good life if you marry him."
