Qin Mao was in a good mood today because his third son had a new baby in his family and he had another grandson to look after.

Qin Mao was filled with emotion during the recent family gatherings. Yesterday, one of his cousins ​​came to him for a drink and was lamenting that his granddaughter was already 20 years old but refused to get married. It was said that his granddaughter was both talented and beautiful, but she was always arrogant and had very high standards. She looked down on everyone and was afraid that she would have to be an old maid for the rest of her life!

When Qin Mao heard his cousin's complaints, he immediately thought of Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing must be in her twenties, right? She still hasn't gotten married. What a shame!

Qin Mao still remembered that when His Majesty had just ascended the throne, there were still people in the court spreading rumors that Gu Yanqing and His Majesty...

Tsk tsk, it’s not a good thing anyway.

Although Qin Mao is used to lying down and doing nothing, he still has a heart that likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

He also recognized Gu Yanqing from the bottom of his heart. Gu Yanqing was a man with good looks, talent, and a high-ranking official. He was also clean and had no bad habits. Wasn't such a person the best candidate for his grandson-in-law?

No one in the court or the country dared to claim a relationship with Gu Yanqing, but Qin Mao did.

Qin Mao had actually already booked a table for a banquet today, waiting to have a drink and chat with Gu Yanqing, wanting to get some information from him first, but he didn't expect that Gu Yanqing rejected him without even thinking.

"No wonder he can't get married even at his age." Qin Mao muttered softly.

Humph, this damn boy, what’s the point of having good looks!

"Go, go quickly and overtake his carriage!" Qin Mao gave a few instructions and lowered the curtain angrily. The coachman of the Qin Mansion was speechless. This old child, this old child, must be talking about their prime minister!

The Qin Mansion's carriage sped up. As soon as Gu Yanqing boarded his own carriage, he saw the Qin Mansion's carriage galloping past him.

Tsk.

The old man is throwing a tantrum again.

Gu Yanqing shook his head slightly, turned around and got into the carriage. It was already late at night, and an oil lamp had been placed in the carriage, covered with a glass cover, emitting a dim light.

Everyone in the Gu Mansion knew that the Prime Minister was diligent in his government affairs and often read memorials and documents in his carriage, so the best glass lamps were always prepared in the carriage.

However, Gu Yanqing did not have any government affairs to deal with today. He casually took out the Kyoto geography book from his arms, just wanting to open it and take a look out of habit. After opening it, he was slightly stunned.

Jiang Jiang’s diary has been updated today.

In the past few days, she would only write in her diary when she was about to go to bed.

Is he changing his temper today?

[The third year of Jianping, March 26th, sunny. Liuquan Lane has been completely transformed lately, but unfortunately, the smiles on everyone's faces are gone. Some of the old neighbors are even packing up, preparing to leave this sad place. My parents had originally planned to leave here, but now that Li Ershan has run away, my father is worried about him. He has no family outside. What if he comes back one day and finds we're all gone? Then where would he go?]

Li Ershan.

Gu Yanqing had seen that boy before, a seemingly ordinary boy who was often mentioned in Jiang Jiang's diary.

Initially, Gu Yanqing had never taken that young man seriously, but two days ago, Jiang Wen sent a pigeon message back, saying that he had found Chen Jinting's whereabouts and heard that Chen Jinting was accompanied by a young man with very short hair...

The day Chen Jinting's breath disappeared was also the day Li Ershan ran away from home.

So these two people may have some entanglement...

Gu Yanqing lowered his eyes and continued to read the contents of the diary——

"Big brother has been spending every day with Shen Guiyuan lately, handling matters in the outer city. That guy is becoming increasingly annoying. He often comes to my house for meals, and afterward, he never leaves, always looking for opportunities to chat with Yunyue. Luckily, I already told Yunyue to stay away from that scumbag. Shen Guiyuan may appear gentle and courteous, but he's actually quite dark at heart. As the illegitimate son of the Dongping family, he's been ridiculed and looked down upon since childhood, leaving him with a dark and twisted mind. People like him must always be on our guard."

The illegitimate son of the Dongping family!

Seeing this, Gu Yanqing's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, reading Jiang Jiang’s diary when you have nothing to do always gives you new surprises.

It turns out that Shen Guiyuan's true identity is the illegitimate son of the Dongping family.

Speaking of the Dongping family, there are really a lot of scandals. The Dongping family has always produced playboys and romantics. The current head of the family, Dong Pingchuan, has thirteen concubines, eighteen sons and seven daughters.

Among Dong Pingchuan's eighteen sons, several were notorious playboys in the capital.

Logically speaking, even if the Dongping family has one or two illegitimate sons or daughters, it is not a big deal. People in the capital are used to their style of being lenient with everyone. Moreover, the Dongping family has always been very open-minded and it doesn't seem like they would be mean to illegitimate children.

unless……

There is something else behind Shen Guiyuan's identity.

It seems that we need to investigate the true background of Shen Guiyuan.

In the past, Gu Yanqing couldn't find any flaws in Shen Guiyuan's fake identity, so he naturally had no idea where to start his investigation. But now he has a precise direction for investigation -

How did an illegitimate child who was not welcomed, humiliated and ridiculed be valued and trained to become the secret agent of the Dongping family?

Who is that person standing behind him?

There was a hint of strangeness in Gu Yanqing's eyes. Perhaps the Dongping family was never as simple as it seemed.

Gu Yanqing was in a good mood and continued to read the diary with a smile, but his expression soon became subtle -

My stomach hurts so bad. I'm so miserable. I don't know if it's because I've been traveling so much this month, but my period is actually early. It's so uncomfortable. I wish I had a heat pack. Forget it, I'll go to bed early today. I'll go to Bao'an Hall tomorrow to buy some herbs and boil them myself.

Moon, menstruation...

Why write about this kind of thing!

Gu Yanqing's expression changed several times. Fortunately, he was the only one in the carriage and no one saw the embarrassment written all over his face at the moment.

But speaking of it, what is a hot pack?

**

Speaking of the inconveniences in ancient times, apart from the lack of toilets, the second most important thing for Jiang Jiang is the lack of sanitary napkins!

Those few days every month are really hard.

The menstrual belts of this era are really not very easy to use. Jiang Jiang has tried to make improvements, but the effect is still far worse than sanitary napkins.

The next day, in the morning, on the official road leading to Beijing.

"Ugh."

Jiang Jiang, sitting in the carriage, held her stomach and sighed.

"You've been sighing all the way." Jiang Chaosheng on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Jiang Jiang has been in a bad mood these days. She turned to look at Jiang Chaosheng and asked, "Have you figured out how to tell Sister E'er?"

During this period, Jiang Chaosheng has been using the excuse that he has important things to do, so he has never gone to the Huang family. But now that all the things are done, he no longer has an excuse to escape - what he has to face must be faced.
