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

There is no gentleman like him in the world.

This is the image of Gu Yanqing in Yun Yue’s mind right now.

"To be honest, I can have a few peaceful conversations with His Majesty, but I dare not say a word to Prime Minister Gu."

Yun Yue seemed to still be frightened when she talked about this.

Because in the Imperial Garden, when she accidentally met Gu Yanqing's gaze, she always felt that there was a subtle hostility hidden in those deep and charming eyes.

Does he seem dissatisfied with himself?

Is it because the share given to Gu Yanhuan was too small?

A dignified Prime Minister Gu wouldn't be so stingy, right?

Yun Yue didn't dare to say this, and could only vaguely say to Jiang Jiang and Li Pingan: "Maybe it's because Minister Gu is too handsome and his aura is too strong. I have never dared to look him in the eye."

"Really?" Li Pingan seemed a little regretful.

But Jiang Jiang's mind unconsciously recalled Gu Yanqing's figure——

Is your aura strong?

I don’t think so.

So, what does Gu Xiang look like on a daily basis?

The man she knew was "Yan Chong", while the man in the eyes of others was Gu Yanqing.

Jiang Jiang has always been accustomed to "Yan Chong's" style of doing things, and even the seed of "Gu Yanqing is nothing special" has been planted in her heart.

She seemed to have long forgotten that the man named "Gu Yanqing" in the original novel would make her turn pale at the mention of him...

The three of them came to Baxingfang and went straight back to Yanlou.

Before entering the door, Jiang Jiang frowned slightly and turned to look behind him.

"What's wrong?" Yun Yue asked carefully. She knew that Jiang Jiang's perception was sharper than that of ordinary people.

"nothing."

Jiang Jiang shook his head.

She always felt that someone was following them, but the feeling was sometimes far away and sometimes close, and there was no aura of a warrior, nor did she feel any hostility, so... forget it.

Jiang Jiang didn't want to cause any trouble, so she took Li Ping'an and Yun Yue directly into Yanlou.

Not far from Yanlou, the two servants of the Dongping family slowly withdrew their gaze.

"They entered Yanlou, but we can't get in there." One of the servants seemed a little annoyed.

"Okay, let's go back and report to the manager first." The two men exchanged a few words and hurriedly left Yanlou.

**

Dongping Prefecture.

After returning from the grand court meeting today, Dong Pingchuan did not go to the Ministry of Personnel, but went straight home and sat alone in the study in a daze.

Dong Pingchuan's mind was constantly lingering on the scene he saw that morning.

Although it was quite far away and there was morning mist lingering, Dong Pingchuan still saw the bright smile on Li Ping'an's face.

He had never seen Ping An smile so happily.

Who is that girl with him?

Why are the two of them outside the imperial city?

Dong Pingchuan remembered that when he left the imperial city, the two of them had not left yet. It seemed that they were waiting for someone?

In the past, Dong Pingchuan and Li Pingan had a gentleman's agreement that the father and son would not interfere with each other's lives.

Over the years, Dong Pingchuan was only responsible for giving Li Ping'an the best of everything, giving him the best guards, the best medicinal herbs in Baicaotang, and everything he thought was the best and most expensive.

However, the child never seemed to be truly happy.

"It turns out that the child has grown up. Well, he has reached the age." Dong Pingchuan murmured to himself.

Sixteen years old is not young anymore. Back then, when he was fifteen, he secretly followed a group of brothers to Zuihonglou to listen to music.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

"Master, it's me." The voice of Dongping family's butler came from outside the door.

"Come in." Dong Pingchuan spoke slowly, and then the door of the study was pushed open, and the butler walked in with a respectful look on his face.

"Checked it out?"

Dong Pingchuan concealed his inner excitement and asked calmly.

"Yes."

The chief steward reported seriously, "It turns out those two people outside the imperial city are from Yanlou. They have been waiting for Miss Yunyue outside the imperial city."

As the chief steward of Dongping Mansion, he knew a little about Yun Yue's affairs. Therefore, at this moment he thought that his master was still concerned about the affairs of the Chu family, and his report was particularly detailed.

"The identity of that young man has not yet been discovered, but the young girl who often hangs out with Yun Yue is easy to find out. Her name is Jiang Jiang, and she is the younger sister of Mr. Jiang Chaosheng, who works at the Ministry of Works."

"Jiang Chaosheng?"

Dong Pingchuan is no stranger to this name.

Isn’t Jiang Chaosheng Gu Yanqing’s man?

Dong Pingchuan touched his chin and suddenly remembered that some time ago, Li Ping'an asked him to draw a clear line with the Meng family, and the last time, Li Ping'an said that someone had taken a fancy to Mantanghong.

That time... it seemed like the Gu family and the Meng family were competing for the "Mantanghong" (a red banquet), right?

How could this kid end up hanging out with Gu Yanqing's people?

Could this be Gu Yanqing's conspiracy?

Honey trap?

Dong Pingchuan's heart trembled, but then he thought of something and his eyes suddenly dimmed.

So what about the beauty trap?

If the child can find someone he likes in this life, even if it is just a moment of happiness, it would be good.

"master?"

The butler at the side saw Dong Pingchuan's expression changing from time to time, and he couldn't help but speak cautiously again: "Do you want to continue the investigation?"

"No need to check. Don't tell anyone about this. Oh, and call Old Seven to come to me."

Dong Pingchuan raised his eyes again and had turned into that elegant, mature and handsome uncle again.

It seems that the Meng family’s marriage must be cancelled.

Well, this is the seventh brother’s marriage, let him cancel it himself.

The children have grown up and it is time for them to plan for themselves.

【Dongping Music: ……】

**

As the most favored seventh son of the Dongping family, Dong Pingle has not been idle recently. He just opened a jade shop in partnership with Meng Nianqiao. The shop has not yet officially opened when Meng Nianqiao fell ill.

Originally, this was nothing, but today, news of the death of the eldest son of the Meng family suddenly came...

Did the Meng family offend someone?

Before Dong Pingle could figure out the situation, he was called back by the housekeeper.

In the study.

Dong Pingle looked at his father in disbelief.

"Father, do you mean to ask me to cancel the engagement?"

Dong Pingle's voice was full of surprise, and he was even more confused in his heart.

Could it be that Meng Haowen got into trouble this time because the Meng family offended someone they shouldn't offend?

Is father planning to draw a clear line with the Meng family?

"You're already twenty-one. You were supposed to get married to Meng Nianqiao next year, but now something's happened to the Meng family. Meng Haowen is dead, and Meng Nianqiao has to observe a three-year mourning period. She can wait, but can you?"

Dong Pingchuan said this with a hint of meaning.

Ah this...

Can I wait, or can I not?

Dong Pingle lowered his eyes and was silent for a few breaths. Then he said, "My child is naughty by nature and quite fond of women. Naturally, he can't wait for three years."

Dong Pingchuan said nothing, but smiled and gave Dong Pingle an admiring look: "Then you can handle the cancellation of the engagement yourself. Don't leave any trouble behind."

"I understand, Father."

Dong Pingle nodded, then respectfully left the study.
