But looking at Wei Yingying in her arms, she pushed it back into her stomach.

Wei Yingying was no longer so scared at this time. She heard Gu Lingyue's voice change and looked at her in surprise.

Is this person really his sister Yue? She looks different, and now even her voice is different.

Gu Lingyue winked at her, touched her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Sister Yue is playing a game with your mother, don't tell your mother!"

Wei Yingying nodded obediently.

In fact, it didn’t matter whether Wei knew about it or not. She just did it to appease the old emperor.

At the same time, Wei seemed to understand something after hearing Gu Lingyue's words. She looked embarrassed and ashamed.

After looking angrily at the man lying on the ground and screaming, he turned around and looked at Gu Lingyue and her daughter.

Seeing the two of them whispering about something, she became suspicious.

Who were these two women, and why were they meddling in their affairs? And why didn't her daughter seem afraid of them at all?

However, she knew that the most important thing now was to solve the current problem. As for the identities of these two people, she would ask her daughter later, and she thought she would know.

So she suppressed her shame and anger and said, "Thank you both for your help today. I will never let something like this happen again."

Yun Jin glared at Wei with contempt. She simply didn't believe that this woman would change.

Gu Lingyue was too lazy to say anything more to her.

She stared at the man lying there with cold eyes and said, "Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the man quickly got up, glared at Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin fiercely, and stumbled towards the door, almost bumping into Lu Shui who came in from outside.

Gu Lingyue put Wei Yingying down, patted her head, and smiled gently at her. Then, looking at Wei and Lu Shui, who had just walked in and knew nothing about anything, she said coldly, "If I find out that you let her go grocery shopping alone again, or criticize her harshly, I will make you pay."

Lushui didn't know that such a thing happened just because she went to the toilet. She lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.

Gu Lingyue ignored them. She gave Wei Yingying a few more words of advice and left with Yun Jin.

At that time, Yun Jin was afraid that Wei Yingying would be scared, so she only gave the man a small lesson. Now she wanted to have a good discussion with him about who he should not mess with.

Wei Yingying looked at Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin who were leaving with a look of reluctance on her face.

Wei then got up from the ground, took Wei Yingying's hand and asked, "Yingying, do you know those two women just now?"

Wei Yingying avoided the gaze and shook her head.

Seeing this, Wei Shi had nothing to understand.

This girl must know him, but she just doesn't say it.

"You silly girl, you're just like your damn father, both so stubborn.

I am your mother, if you don't tell me, what if they are bad people?"

Wei Yingying didn't say anything and just shook her head.

Wei snorted angrily, "I can't cure you anymore. You are not allowed to eat today. I'll see if you will tell me."

Wei Yingying looked at Wei pitifully, hoping that Wei would take back her decision.

But Wei was determined to punish her and turned away.

……

At this time, Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin caught up with the man. Just when the man was about to say something, Gu Lingyue took out a silenced pistol from the space under the cover of his sleeve and shot the man in the crotch.

"what!!"

The man immediately covered his crotch with his hands and screamed in agony, looking at Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin with horror.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Jin stepped forward and kicked the man again, knocking him to the ground.

Gu Lingyue looked at the man with cold eyes and said, "This time I only want your third leg. If you dare to hurt her next time, I will kill you."

After saying that, she stood up and left without paying any attention to the shouting man. Before leaving, Yun Jin kicked the man again, only to feel relieved.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Tang came to find him.

She said lovingly, "Yue'er, the Queen Mother's birthday is in a few days. Have you prepared your gift?"

At this time, she didn't know that the relationship between Gu Lingyue and the Queen Mother had reached a life-and-death point, and Gu Lingyue didn't tell Tang what happened between her and the Queen Mother in the palace.

Even the grudge between Gu Lingyue and Queen Shen was speculated by Tang.

She knew that she couldn't help her Yue'er in any way, so she tried her best not to cause her any trouble.

But the Queen Mother's birthday this year is her daughter Yue'er's first birthday after marrying into the royal family. Although she knows that her daughter Yue'er doesn't need her to worry about her now, she still wants to ask, for fear that Gu Lingyue will be found guilty.

When Gu Lingyue heard Tang mention the Queen Mother, she remembered the last assassination attempt. There was a hint of gloom between her brows, but she quickly returned to normal.

He raised his eyes to look at Tang Shi and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, the gifts are ready."

But what she was thinking at this moment was, I'll give her a fuck. If she doesn't cause any trouble, she'll have a peaceful birthday party. If she does cause any trouble, no one will have a good time.

But at this time, Gu Lingyue had no idea that she didn't need to seek revenge, as Emperor Tianqi would do it for her. However, Emperor Tianqi let her stay because of the trouble caused by the Queen Mother.

Tang was relieved to hear Gu Lingyue's words. "That's good. Since you have made up your mind, I won't worry about it anymore."

After saying this, she sighed as she thought of her son's abnormal behavior in the past few days.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Gu Lingyue asked.

Upon hearing this, Tang expressed his confusion.

"I don't know what's wrong with Rui'er these past few days. He seems to be worried about something. He won't tell me anything when I ask him, but he always looks sad. Could it be that he encountered something unhappy at school?"

It was her Rui'er who started learning martial arts from the prince, and finally Yue'er taught him kung fu. It cannot be said that he was very powerful, but children of the same age or older than him could not bully him, so she guessed that he had encountered something unhappy.

Gu Lingyue understood.

The brat was obsessed with the matter between Yun Shu and her fourth brother.

She smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll talk to him when he comes back from the study."

Tang said happily, "Okay, then when your brother comes back, you can ask him. If I ask him, he'll just say it's okay."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Tang left.

Gu Lingyue looked at the sky and thought it would still be early for Gu Chenrui to come back, so she entered the space and started freezing ice and making popsicles.

She kept tinkering with it until Gu Chenrui came back from the study and then she left the space.

After dinner, she took Gu Chenrui to the garden for a stroll under the pretext of helping digestion.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it here. I have to go back to do my homework later." Gu Chenrui stopped and said calmly.

Gu Lingyue curled her lips and said, "Don't be so mature, kid. Otherwise, you will have a stern face every day, and that little girl will dare to get close to you. Don't complain when you can't find a wife."

After hearing what Gu Lingyue said, Gu Chenrui couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and said with disdain: "I don't care."

I said this, but in my heart I was thinking, is it because I am too steady that she doesn't like me, but likes my fourth cousin?

Looking at Gu Chenrui's thoughtful expression, Gu Lingyue found it a little funny.

However, since they all said they still had homework to do, she didn't waste his time and said directly, "I know you are a little adult, but I, your sister, have been particularly troubled by something recently and would like to hear your opinion."

Hearing that Gu Lingyue came to ask him questions, Gu Chenrui showed a happy expression on his face. It turned out that his sister also asked him questions sometimes.

He looked at Gu Lingyue seriously and said, "Just tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Lingyue pretended to be distressed and said, "I rescued a man a few days ago..."

Gu Chenrui was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded to show that he understood, and motioned Gu Lingyue to continue.

Gu Lingyue found Gu Chenrui's serious expression a little funny, but she couldn't laugh at this moment, so she had to hold it in and finish what she said as quickly as possible.

"When I was treating him, I just lifted his clothes a little, and he told me that men and women should not touch each other and he should be responsible for me.

It would be fine if I hadn’t started a family, but I’m already married now, and…”

"Even if you're not married," Gu Chenrui interrupted Gu Lingyue, his face furious, "You just cured him and saved his life, but he's using this excuse to pester you. How shameless!"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, his fists clenched and his eyes became fierce.

Seeing this, Gu Lingyue thought to herself: It's over, this is a bit too much!

She touched her nose. "Well... actually, I can't blame that man entirely. He's just a little stubborn. He thinks that since we've touched bodies, we shouldn't be intimate. He's afraid of ruining my reputation, so he wants to take responsibility for me. He doesn't know I'm married."

"Is that so..." Gu Chenrui was stunned for a moment and said, "Then why not just explain it to him clearly?"

"But the problem is, I don't know how to tell him." Gu Lingyue said bitterly, "How about you help me tell him? After all, Yun Shu also forced the poison out of you last time."

Gu Chenrui: ...

He looked a little confused, and just stood there quietly without moving. Gu Lingyue didn't say anything either, and just stayed with him.

After a while, he seemed to understand something, looked at Gu Lingyue, snorted coldly, "Take care of your own business," and turned and left.

During this time, I was thinking: I am being too stubborn. If he keeps treating that woman as his own, won't he be the same as that man?!

Gu Lingyue looked at Gu Chenrui who left with a cocky look on his face, knowing that he had understood what she was going to say. She smiled with relief. This little brat had quite a temper.

She shook her head and went back to her room.

At this time, Gu Chenrui was standing not far from Yun Shu's door, looking conflicted.

At this moment, Qiu Tong came back after finishing her work.

The room she lived in was next to the Yunshu sisters. Seeing Gu Chenrui standing not far away, she stepped forward and said, "Young Master, why are you here? Qin Lan is looking for you to practice martial arts."

Now Qin Lan has become Gu Chenrui's servant. He accompanies Gu Chenrui to school every day and also practices martial arts with him.

"I understand." After saying that, Gu Chenrui turned and left.

He had originally wanted to ask the woman again if she had really decided to follow his fourth brother, but now he was relieved.

She had always considered herself a little brat, and had always been stubborn because she believed they had physical contact.

……

A few days passed like this. During this time, Gu Lingyue asked Wang An to take her to the ice cellar of the palace, and moved out the ice and popsicles that were frozen in her space. Then she asked the innkeeper to bring the ice and popsicles. She also taught them how to make fruit salad and smoothies. However, they were sold in portions, 100 portions of each kind per day, until they were sold out. If you wanted to eat, you had to queue up again the next day. The hot pot restaurant's business became popular again.

In addition, the prefect of Jingzhao came to the door and told the prince that Wei had died. The reason why he came to the Prince Jing's Mansion was because the title deed of the house where Wei lived belonged to the Prince Jing's Mansion.

Gu Lingyue was completely confused.

Wasn't he fine a few days ago? How come he died?

"Uncle, where is the little girl?" Gu Lingyue asked anxiously, "Wei has another daughter."

At this moment, she was thinking, could it be that she had crippled that sharp-nosed monkey last time, so he couldn't find her and took revenge on Wei?

Liu Fuyin was very pleased that Gu Lingyue called him cousin uncle. After all, Gu Lingyue was now the Princess of Jing and a member of the royal family.

The fact that she calls herself that means she acknowledges that she is her relative.

"Our yamen runners didn't find any little girl in the yard, but they did find the body of a maid and a man," recalled Liu Fuyin.

"A man's body?"

Gu Lingyue was puzzled. Could there be other men in the Wei family besides that monkey-like man?

She had doubts in her heart, so she asked, "Uncle, did the dead man have any physical defects? Like, was he a eunuch or something?"

Liu Fuyin didn't know why Gu Lingyue asked this question, but he still shook his head and said, "No, and they died in bed."

What he said about being in bed was vague. He was planning to say that they were killed while they were doing that shameful thing, but he didn't want to be too blunt in front of a junior.

Gu Lingyue confirmed her guess and explained, "Uncle, that woman's husband was originally a deputy general beside Prince Jing. He allowed her to live in that courtyard because of his dying wish."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand then."

When Liu Fuyin stood up to leave, Gu Lingyue quickly asked Qiu Tong to put some fruit salad and popsicles she made into bowls and put them in a food box. She then cooled them with ice cubes and gave them to Liu Fuyin to take back for the people in the mansion to taste.

If it were something else, Liu Fuyin would not accept it, but this thing was only sold in one store and was extremely popular. His mother wanted to eat it, so he sent people to queue up and buy it several times but they still couldn't find it.

So I happily accepted it.

"Then you're welcome, cousin. Your great aunt has wanted to try it for a long time, but I sent people to buy it several times but couldn't get in line." Liu Fuyin looked helpless.

Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "If my great-aunt wants to eat it in the future, you can just send someone to the palace to get it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuyin immediately understood that the store should also be the property of Prince Jing's Mansion. However, he did not say anything, but just said: "Okay, then cousin uncle would like to thank Yue'er first."

When Liu Fuyin was leaving, Gu Lingyue asked him to investigate Wei Yingying's matter, and Liu Fuyin agreed immediately.

After sending away Liu Fuyin, Gu Lingyue was not idle either. She asked Wang An to send someone to find Wei Yingying, and asked Yun Jin to take a few people to find the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks. After all, Yun Jin had seen the man's appearance before, so it would be easier to find him.
