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

The imperial city's night banquet did not end until late at night.

When Gu Yanqing returned to the Gu Mansion's carriage, he saw a handsome uncle sitting in the carriage.

"Gu Xiang."

Dong Pingchuan sat inside with a smile on his face, looking very calm and composed, not considering himself an outsider at all.

"Lord Dongping."

Gu Yanqing nodded at Dong Pingchuan, then sat down opposite Dong Pingchuan.

"Could you please give me a ride, Minister Gu? Just take me to Baicaotang."

Dong Pingchuan spoke slowly, and as he spoke, he softened his brows. He had been forced to drink a lot by those court officials today. Fortunately, he had been accustomed to such social gatherings since he was a child, and had long ago mastered the skill of not getting drunk even after drinking a thousand cups.

After hearing Dong Pingchuan's words, Gu Yanqing said nothing. He continued to sit aside with a strong aura and an expressionless face.

"Gu Yanqing, have you always been like this?"

Dong Pingchuan seemed to dislike Gu Yanqing's appearance and couldn't help but complain: "It's really hard to make friends with you like this."

"I don't need friends." Gu Yanqing said coldly.

"hehe."

Dong Pingchuan sneered: "If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't want to cooperate with you."

"In fact, you already have no choice."

Gu Yanqing raised his eyes and looked at Dong Pingchuan deeply: "Your son has a longer-term vision than you."

"That's right, my son has always had good vision."

Speaking of Li Ping'an, the expression on Dong Pingchuan's face immediately softened.

"My seventh son has already broken off his engagement with Meng Nianqiao. Of course, this time, he got terribly scolded and beaten up by that old man Meng Xiang. Not only did he lose his jade shop, but he was also cornered in an alley and given a good beating."

Dong Pingchuan suddenly changed the subject and talked about the marriage between Dong Pingle and Meng Nianqiao.

Of course, this was also a hint to Gu Yanqing that he was sincere in seeking an alliance with him.

"I've also heard about the Seventh Young Master's story, but..."

Gu Yanqing suddenly spoke with a profound tone, "Shouldn't Lord Dongping also give me an explanation about Shen Guiyuan's matter?"

"Shen Guiyuan?"

Dong Pingchuan was stunned for a long time, as if he had thought of something. His expression, which had been calm all along, became strange. "What is his relationship with my Dongping family?"

When Shen Guiyuan became the top scholar, Dong Pingchuan felt that the new top scholar looked familiar. Later, when he sent people to investigate the background of the new scholar, Dong Pingchuan also found out some things about Shen Guiyuan.

He remembered.

He had seen this child before.

To be precise, he had a bad relationship with the child's parents.

"Isn't he your son?" Seeing Dong Pingchuan's strange reaction, Gu Yanqing asked directly.

"Hey, Gu Yanqing, please don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation!"

Dong Pingchuan's expression became even more strange when he heard this. "I know Shen Guiyuan's parents. His father and I were good friends. His father died young, and I am a kind person, so I took extra care of his mother. She was already pregnant at that time, and I never thought that after she gave birth, she would find the Dongping family and say that the child was mine."

When talking about this, Dong Pingchuan was speechless.

He had indeed been a playboy in his life, with countless women around him, but...

He never eats grass near his own home, and he never touches his friend's wife.

That woman was blinded by greed and only depended on him for money and status.

"Later, I gave her a large sum of money and sent her to Qizhou. I didn't expect that after a few years, she spent all the money and came back with her child..."

Who wouldn’t be upset if they met such a deadbeat?

"What happened next?" Gu Yanqing looked at Dong Pingchuan with a strange expression.

Make you fickle!

Gu Yanqing could imagine the scene when the woman brought the child to the door. Perhaps everyone in the Dongping family believed her and thought that Shen Guiyuan was Dong Pingchuan's son!

After all... this guy has too many children!

"I was so annoyed by them that I asked my fifth child to handle the matter."

Speaking of this, Dong Pingchuan's eyes suddenly changed.

"Could it be that Shen Guiyuan's acceptance into your sect is related to someone from my Dongping family?"

Dong Pingchuan immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

At the beginning, he knew Shen Guiyuan's identity, and even knew that Shen Guiyuan had defected to Gu Yanqing. He thought that this little guy had a grudge against him and had deliberately defected to Gu Yanqing in order to take revenge on him.

Now it seems that things are not that simple?

"Master Dongping, please go home and ask your good sons about this matter."

Gu Yanqing said lightly.

Dong Pingchuan: ...

Sooner or later, I will be killed by these careless guys!

Ugh.

If you think about it carefully, Ping An and Lao Qi are indeed the most useful, and the rest are just trash.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped near Mingyuefang.

"We have arrived at Baicaotang, please come in, Master Dongping."

Gu Yanqing spoke again.

"Thank you, Minister Gu, for giving me a ride. By the way."

Before Dong Pingchuan got off the car, he suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Yanqing and whispered, "Just now when I left the imperial city, I seemed to see that old man Meng Xiang getting on the Liu family's carriage."

The Chu family fell, and the Dongping family broke up with the Meng family. At this moment, Meng Xiang needed an ally, and Liu Qizhan was undoubtedly his best choice.

"Liu Qizhang is not that simple, Prime Minister Gu, you'd better be careful."

Before he finished speaking, Dong Pingchuan had already jumped off the carriage in a dashing manner.

“You really have to be careful.”

In the carriage, Gu Yanqing whispered softly, but the corners of her lips curled up in an intriguing arc...

**

Liuquan Lane, outer city of Kyoto.

Tonight is New Year’s Eve, a day when lights are on in every household and families are reunited.

The lights in the Jiang family were always on. After dinner, the family did not rest, but waited together for Jiang Chaosheng to come back.

After all, the most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy.

Li Ershan also spent the New Year in the outer city this year. The yard next door had been cleaned very cleanly. After dinner, the little girl Sang Qi played wildly in the yard. When she was tired, she leaned on Li Jin and fell asleep.

Li Ershan was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he asked Li Jin to carry her back to the house.

"The starry sky is so beautiful today."

The steps in the yard were covered with a thick blanket. Yun Yue and Jiang Jiang were sitting there side by side, looking up at the stars together.

"Yes, very beautiful."

Hearing Yun Yue's words, Jiang Jiang also echoed, and then she gently held Yun Yue's hand.

Yun Yue's hands were a little cold, so Jiang Jiang gave her some warmth. People who practiced martial arts did have this skill.

"Happy New Year's Eve, cousin."

"Happy New Year's Eve."

Feeling the warmth in her palm, Yun Yue smiled brightly at Jiang Jiang beside her.

"Crench."

At this moment, the courtyard gate was opened and Jiang Chaosheng's tall figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Brother, you are back!"

"Chao Sheng is back!"

Everyone in the Jiang family stood up, and Li Ershan rushed to Jiang Chaosheng's side in a flash.

"You came just in time. Help me carry the gifts."

Jiang Chaosheng grabbed Li Ershan and took him out the door.

what's the situation?

Li Ershan followed Jiang Chaosheng with a puzzled look on his face, and then helped him carry boxes of things off the carriage with a strange look on his face.

"Son, didn't you go to the palace for a banquet? Why did you bring back so many things?"

Mu Wanling looked at the things in the yard with curiosity.

"It can't be that this is a reward from His Majesty, right?" Li Ershan also asked at this time.

"It's not Your Majesty, it's Prime Minister Gu."

Jiang Chaosheng said with a smile: "This is a little gift from Minister Gu. He also asked me to bring him to say hello to you!"

Gu Yanqing?

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words.

Only Li Ershan glanced at Jiang Jiang with a strange expression and muttered softly, "Humph, you're being too attentive for no reason. You have no good intentions."
