Farming and reading family

Chapter 695 Qiu Zhen is assassinated

When meeting someone of this level, Gao E felt that she should be more cautious, because Miss Qiu would only be slapped in the face in front of her.

"Okay." Qiao Zhu agreed and was about to go over.

Gao E hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "You must be respectful enough. It would be even better if you could pay attention to who is in the room. Don't let anyone see that you have the intention of prying."

Qiao Zhu nodded.

Only then did Gao E let Qiao Zhu go.

She already had a rough guess in her mind. Since Prince Bin could come to He County by himself, why couldn't the eldest princess come?

There aren't many people like him who know Prince Bin and dare to slap Miss Qiao in the face, even in the capital, right?

Not long after, Qiao Zhu came back.

"The noble said that we can stay as long as we don't disturb her." Qiao Zhu said in a low voice.

"Is that noble lady a woman?" Gao E asked speculatively.

Qiao Zhu nodded: "There are three young men following him. They don't look like servants, nor do they look like sons."

Gao E looked at Qiao Zhu's serious expression and thought to herself, "Okay, I understand. Once those celebrities move in, Yue Garden won't host anyone else. There will be more people moving in later."

"Okay." Qiao Zhu agreed.

After Gao E made all these arrangements, she went to pick up those people.

During this period, those people got to know each other a little, and the meaning became more obvious when they saw Gao E coming to examine them.

"Mrs. Chen, we are here for Mr. Du's sake. These series of incidents show that you don't take us seriously." Kang Jingran said indignantly.

Gao E felt that this person was a troublemaker, and others might not agree with him, but since he spoke up, others couldn't say anything.

"What does Mr. Kang plan to do?" Gao E asked directly.

"What do you mean? It's as if we are looking for trouble." Kang Jingran became even angrier.

Gao E smiled slightly: "Are you sure Mr. Kang can represent everyone?"

When she said this, everyone looked at each other but didn't say anything.

They felt that having a woman come to greet them was a bit casual and would not embarrass a woman.

"What I mean is that since the thing has happened, we have to think about how to solve it. Mr. Kang, please feel free to raise any questions you have and I will see how to solve them." Gao E said seriously.

Kang Jingran didn't expect Gao E to be so calm: "At least there should be someone of similar status to receive us."

Gao E nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, please go to Yue Garden first. I'll send someone over later. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to ask."

After hearing Gao E say this, no one knew what to say.

They came to attend the gathering and just wanted to see how it went.

When Gao E brought the literati back to Yue Garden again, she saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting in the waterside pavilion looking around. She saw that she nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Where did this ignorant woman come from..." Ling Xingxian stood there and scolded.

"Shut up." The eldest princess shouted lazily.

After being scolded like this, Gao E quickly left and ignored him.

The princess glanced at Ling Xingxian and said, "Don't be spoiled by your favor."

Ling Xingxian immediately went to massage the princess's shoulders: "I'm afraid that poor woman will offend the princess."

"Don't block me." The princess waved Ling Xingxian aside. "These are all well-educated and famous people. I've come at the right time."

When Ling Xingxian heard the eldest princess say this, he knew that the eldest princess was going to choose a lover again.

By the time Gao E had arranged for the literati, it was time to close the city gates. She thought that since she couldn't go back, she might as well go and talk to Xu Boyan about this matter.

As a result, when she arrived at the gate of the county government office and saw Miss Qiu's people there, she had to let Lu Qingluo drive away first.

It was not convenient for her to go see Que'er at this time, so she returned to Yueyuan to live, but she did not go to meet those literati.

After Qiu Zhen applied cold compress and medicine, the swelling had almost subsided, but the mark was still clear, so she wore a veil to cover it.

Xu Boyan was terrified when he heard Qiu Zhen say that the princess was in He County. "Now that the princess has come to He County, I'm afraid it won't be enough to just hand over the Zhao family."

"You don't need to remind me." Qiu Zhen was in a bad mood.

Xu Boyan stood aside without saying a word, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart. Qiu Zhen's kick on the iron plate was very solid.

"What's going on with so many scholars coming to He County?" Qiu Zhen began to find fault.

"Someone held an elegant gathering in He County, and many literati gathered here." Xu Boyan said firmly.

When Qiu Zhen heard that it was a gathering of literati, he lost his temper.

Those literati look gentle, but they are very vengeful.

"Come with me to pay a visit to the eldest princess tomorrow. We have arranged a place to stay." Qiu Zhen wanted to leave He County as soon as possible.

"Yes." Xu Boyan nodded. "I'm ready. I'll take Miss Qiu there right away."

There was no way those literati would have a peaceful gathering for dinner. After dinner, they would ask people to bring out their pens, ink, and musical instruments to play drinking games.

Gao E wanted them to keep their voices down, as it would be troublesome if they disturbed the eldest princess.

After all, the eldest princess came for Princess Qingfeng. The news she received was that Princess Qingfeng was dead. She must be very sad and couldn't bear to see such a lively scene.

Just when she was about to send someone to remind them, she saw the eldest princess bringing her people over to play together.

She was graceful and elegant, and no one complained to her why a woman like her should join in the fun. Instead, everyone laughed together.

Gao E wondered if the princess didn't care about her daughter at all, or was she heartless?

But since the eldest princess was having so much fun, she didn't bother disturbing them and went to bed early. She would ask Liang Jiange and Tang Song to come and keep her company tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard a noisy noise and woke up instantly. Lu Qingluo was already awake.

"What's going on?" Gao E asked while putting on her clothes.

"It seems like there is a fight." Lu Qingluo stood on Gao E's side.

When Gao E came out, she saw flames rising into the sky. She wondered how there could be a flood in He County when it had been raining for such a long time. She instantly realized that the fire was unusual.

Then the sound of fighting was heard. The sounds became more and more frequent and closer. Gao E was worried that Lu Qingluo would take action, so she pulled her to hide behind a rockery on the side.

Soon they saw several men in black chasing and beating Miss Qiu. Although Miss Qiu didn't know martial arts and was protected by guards, she was still injured.

Someone wants to kill Miss Qiu?

Gao E narrowed her eyes. If she took the opportunity to kill Qiu Zhen...

But she just thought about it for a moment, what if she got drowned by trying to fish in troubled waters?

Seeing that the guards around Qiu Zhen were no match for the enemy, a few guards from the eldest princess's side rushed over. The men in black turned around and ran away when they saw that the situation was not right.

Qiu Zhen knew that her bet was right. She could not defeat those men in black with her own men. She had to run towards the eldest princess and force her to take action. Only then would she have a chance to survive.

Moreover, she was silenced because she was investigating the affairs of Princess Qingfeng, which already showed that she was guilty.

"Come with me." Zhixia glanced at the injured Qiu Zhen.

When she turned around, she took a look at where Gao E and Lu Qingluo were hiding and left.

Qiu Zhen had no choice but to let his men stay where they were, and he limped over with his arm covered.
