The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Hearing Jiang Jiang's farewell, Gu Yanqing nodded calmly: "My injury is nothing. If you are very busy, you don't have to take the time to come and see me."

"I see. I'll be leaving first then!"

Jiang Jiang waved at Gu Yanqing, and Li Pingan followed Jiang Jiang and smiled at Gu Yanqing: "Master Yan, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Having said that, Li Pingan followed Jiang Jiang away with a smile on his face.

It was not until the two figures completely disappeared from Gu Yanqing's sight that the expression on his face gradually changed.

"Son."

At this time, Uncle Ping just happened to come in a hurry.

"Young Master, Jiang Wen is back." Uncle Ping whispered in Gu Yanqing's ear.

Gu Yanqing nodded, then went back to her room to change clothes. While changing clothes, her eyes fell on her bed——

The bed had been moved.

Although it looked the same as when he left, Gu Yanqing still noticed that the pillow had been moved and the angle at which the quilt was folded was different from before.

and so……

Did Jiang Jiang move his bed?

why?

Gu Yanqing stared intently, but couldn't think of the reason for a moment.

**

A quarter of an hour later, at Gu Mansion.

"Prime Minister." Jiang Wen was waiting in the side hall of the Gu Mansion with a respectful look on his face.

"Are you back?" Gu Yanqing strode into the side hall and then leisurely sat in the main seat.

"Sit down." Gu Yanqing waved his hand, and Jiang Wen beside him immediately sat back in his chair.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way." Gu Yanqing spoke slowly, his voice solemn.

"How can it be hard to work for the Prime Minister?" Although Jiang Wen had a cold face, his eyes and tone were sincere.

"I've confirmed that Chen Jinting left the border of Qingyun Kingdom and went to Dai Viet alone. He must have accepted a new assassination mission, and the target is likely within Dai Viet territory." Jiang Wen reported calmly, "After Chen Jinting left, I followed Li Ershan. Li Ershan was originally planning to return to the capital, but he was ambushed by the Xue family army on the way."

"Xue's Army?" Hearing these three familiar words, Gu Yanqing's eyes suddenly changed, and his tone became more serious: "Who ambushed the Xue's Army? Is General Xue...in trouble?"

"They were a group of bandits from the border, but they looked well-trained, unlike your average bandit." Jiang Wen now became serious. "Luckily, the Xue family army handled the situation well. Furthermore, Li Ershan, upon encountering them, came to their aid and saved General Xue's life."

This Li Ershan... is actually related to the Xue family?

General Xue.

The old general hasn't returned to Beijing for three years. Counting the days, it's a few months until the Xue family army returns to report on their duties, but General Xue has been reluctant to do so. Will he return this year?

"Prime Minister, do you want me to investigate the strength of that gang of bandits again?" Seeing Gu Yanqing's serious expression, Jiang Wen suddenly asked.

He also felt that that group of bandits was not simple.

Moreover, Jiang Wen knew that his prime minister had always respected General Xue very much.

"No, it's too far."

Gu Yanqing shook his head slightly. In fact, he had already guessed it in his heart.

Bandits are rampant on the southeastern border, and a group of elusive kidnappers are constantly abducting people...

The leader of that group of people is actually the same person.

that person……

He is Gu Yanqing’s enemy.

No matter what the cost, even if it means death... he will get rid of that person.

Of course, with Gu Yanqing's fighting power, it would be easy for him to kill anyone he wanted to, but unfortunately, that person was different.

Gu Yanqing must make him lose his reputation, destroy his family, and die miserably.

otherwise……

It is not enough to comfort the souls of those innocent people who died tragically in the snow and ice more than a decade ago.

It is not even enough to comfort the spirits of his father and mother in heaven.

"When you come back this time, you can continue to help the Ministry of Justice." Gu Yanqing glanced at Jiang Wen and changed the subject directly.

"Yes."

Jiang Wen nodded. He really enjoyed working in the Ministry of Justice. He enjoyed listening to the prisoners' wails and pleas for mercy, and he also enjoyed the smell of blood emanating from the cold dungeon.

Unfortunately……

Jiang Wen lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.

When coming out of the side hall, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, and Jiang Wen subconsciously squinted his eyes. People like him who are used to the darkness really don't like the bright sunshine.

"Brother Jiang, you're back."

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen's body stiffened suddenly. He turned around hesitantly and met Gu Yanhuan's bright and charming eyes.

"Miss, long time no see."

Jiang Wen turned around and greeted Gu Yanhuan respectfully, his body involuntarily taking a step back.

He always remembered what Gu Yanqing said, that the young lady didn't like the smell of blood.

And in the entire Gu Mansion, the person with the strongest smell of blood is Jiang Wen.

"Well, long time no see." The smile on Gu Yanhuan's face was a little stiff, because Jiang Wen was always like this, keeping people at a distance, cold and icy, like an ice cube.

Jiang Wen and Lin Jing are both masters. Gu Yanhuan also knows that they often go out of the house to help the eldest brother. They are both the eldest brother's most trusted people, and Gu Yanhuan also wants to establish a good relationship with them.

but……

Lin Jing is okay, he is a carefree person and easy to get along with.

But Jiang Wen is completely different.

In fact, every time he saw Gu Yanhuan appear, he would actively stay away from her.

Is she really so disgusting?

Gu Yanhuan felt a little disappointed. At this time, Jiang Wen beside her had already spoken again: "Miss, I just came back and haven't had time to change clothes yet. I'll... go back first. See you next time."

As he spoke, Jiang Wen hurriedly turned around and left.

"Yunling, is he afraid of me? Am I scary?"

Gu Yanhuan frowned. She felt that Jiang Wen's leaving figure looked like he was running away.

Yun Ling, who was standing not far behind Gu Yanhuan, sighed slightly and muttered softly, "Maybe he's afraid of you, Miss... afraid of him."

"What?" Gu Yanhuan didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Yun Ling.

Yun Ling immediately smiled and said, "Miss, Jiang Wen is helping out in the Ministry of Justice. After spending so much time with the people there, his personality has changed. They're all like this, cold and unkind. Don't bother with him."

"alright."

Gu Yanhuan didn't think much about it. In her memory, Jiang Wen seemed to have always been like this.

cold.

She was only twelve years old when she first met him.

At that time, my brother had already won the top spot in the imperial examination, but he was not very respected in the court. One night, my brother rescued a man covered in blood from outside.

Gu Yanhuan is very afraid of blood and is timid, so her brother doesn't let her get close to him.

But later, she couldn't help but be curious and took a peek at the man. By then, the blood on his body had been cleaned, but he was still unconscious...
