The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 439: The Truth (Seventh Update)

Princess Xinyang's pen stopped suddenly.

While kneading Gu Jiao's calf, Yujin glanced at Princess Xinyang calmly.

In fact, Yujin also couldn't control Princess Xinyang's attitude towards the young master. If she said she cared, she would ruthlessly deny him; if she said she didn't care, she would faint because of what happened to him.

Not to mention fainting from anger, Yujin didn't believe it and didn't accept it.

Maybe I still can't pass the test in my heart.

I was afraid that being too kind to the young master would make me sorry for the dead child.

Gu Jiao was pinched too comfortably, she was drowsy, and her little head began to peck at the rice.

Yujin waved to the little maid, motioning for her to bring a mat.

The little maid did as she was told.

Yujin winked, and the little maid put the cushion behind Gu Jiao, and supported Gu Jiao to lean up gently.

Princess Xinyang immersed herself in practicing calligraphy, but she didn't know that Gu Jiao was about to fall asleep. Her eyes paused, and she asked suddenly: "Then you love fighting so much, and who did you learn from?"

Gu Jiao woke up with a start, and she kept her mouth shut: "I didn't fight!"

Princess Xinyang didn't even raise her eyelids: "Who did you fight with?"

Gu Jiao: "Prince Ning."

Yujin: "..."

"You have started fighting with the prince, you are quite courageous." Princess Xinyang wrote another big autumn character, "Why?"

Gu Jiao said bluntly: "I don't like him."

Princess Xinyang: "..."

"There are very few people who dislike King Ning." Princess Xinyang continued to practice calligraphy with a calm expression.

Gu Jiao turned her head to look at Princess Xinyang: "What about the princess? Does the princess like King Ning? In the eyes of the princess, what kind of person is King Ning?"

Princess Xinyang said lightly: "I don't have much contact with King Ning, if Princess Ning'an is here, maybe I can answer you."

That's right, Princess Xinyang married Xuanpinghou. Xuanpinghou is a person in the same line as Empress Xiao and the prince, and is in two different camps from King Ning and the Zhuang family. Concubine Zhuang is extremely stingy, so she will not allow it. King Ning had too much contact with Princess Xinyang.

However, when mentioning King Ning, Princess Xinyang's expression didn't change at all. Does this mean that she never suspected that Xiao Heng's "death" was related to King Ning?

To be honest, there were only two people who had the motive to burn Xiao Heng to death four years ago, one was King Ning and the other was Princess Xinyang.

The less suspicious King Ning is,

On the contrary, it will make Princess Xinyang more suspicious.

Princess Xinyang doesn't doubt King Ning at all, is it because she is the murderer, or has King Ning's disguise successfully deceived everyone?

Gu Jiao finally fell asleep.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, shining in through the window sills, the whole tabletop was warm, and Gu Jiao even sweated a little.

Yujin stood up gently, put Gu Jiao's feet on the stool, and also put a cushion on it, so that it was stable and did not hurt her feet.

"Princess, are you still going out?" Yujin asked softly.

Princess Xinyang practiced her handwriting, and said lightly: "Another day, I don't want to go out today."

Yujin responded, then turned her head and walked around the flower room, cut a few fresh flower branches and came to arrange the flowers.

The room was quiet, only the rustling of pens on the table, the low sound of pruning branches, and the sound of someone's even breathing.

It was quiet all around, but it didn't make people feel lonely as usual.

"Blanket." Princess Xinyang said, she didn't raise her eyes, she practiced calligraphy smoothly and devotedly.

"Hey." Yujin put down the scissors and flower branches, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, opened the wardrobe, and came out with a thin cashmere blanket.

She walked over and was about to put it on Princess Xinyang's body, but she heard Princess Xinyang say expressionlessly: "Give it to her."

Although she didn't specify who she was, but there were only three people in the room, Yujin should tell you.

Yujin walked around the desk, came to Gu Jiao's side, and gently put the thin blanket on her body.

Yujin squeezed Gu Jiao's palm.

Sure enough, I was still sweating just now, but now it's cold.

It was because the sun was about to set, and it couldn't shine on her, and there was a thin autumn wind outside the window, which happened to blow on her face.

Yujin's position is where the wind can't blow, which is why Yujin didn't notice that Gu Jiao's body was cold in time.

Yujin's smiling eyes fell on Princess Xinyang's beauty, which seemed not to be eroded by the years: "Princess."

"What's the matter?" Princess Xinyang said lightly.

Yujin pursed her lips and smiled: "You like Dr. Gu too, don't you?"

She used the same word.

I don't know who the other person she is referring to who likes Gu Jiao is Xiao Liulang or herself.

Princess Xinyang said: "As I said, her life is very valuable. If something happened to her, who will treat this princess?"

When Gu Jiao woke up, it was already dark, and there was only Long Yi, who was like a sculpture, beside her.

Gu Jiao felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy, she sat up almost reflexively, and said seriously: "I don't stick out my pen!"

Holding a box of charcoal pencils and waiting for the whole afternoon, Long Yi: "..."

Yujin stays with Gu Jiao for dinner.

Gu Jiao glanced at Princess Xinyang who was watering the flowers in the yard, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not the princess who asked me to eat, I won't eat, let's go!"

Hiss——

Princess Xinyang watered the flowers and almost drowned them!

Yujin couldn't help but chuckled.

Gu Jiao was just joking, how could she not know that without Princess Xinyang's acquiescence, Yujin wouldn't have the guts to ask her to eat.

She really has something to do, she has to go back quickly.

Yujin smiled and said, "I'll prepare a carriage for Doctor Gu."

"I..." Gu Jiao planned to refuse, she could go back by herself.

Yujin said again: "Or let Long Yi send you off."

Gu Jiao had a serious face for a second: "Carriage, thank you."

Yujin ordered his servants to prepare a carriage, and said to Princess Xinyang, "I'll see Miss Gu off."

Princess Xinyang didn't say a word, she took the kettle and changed it to a potted plant to water the flowers.

Gu Jiao actually doesn't need Yujin to send her off, but she feels that Yujin seems to want to send her off very much today.

The two left the yard.

Yujin said to the coachman, "This wooden stool is not stable, go and get a new one."

This is to drive the driver away.

There were only two people left at the door and Long Yi, who was sitting on the wall holding a box of charcoal pencils and had resentful eyes.

Yujin took Gu Jiao's hand and whispered: "Miss Gu, you are my own, so I won't go around in circles with you. I'll make a long story short, I hope you can understand."

Sure enough, something happened.

Gu Jiao nodded: "You say."

Yujin said sternly: "The matter of the young master... I don't know how much you have heard, but no matter what you hear, please believe the princess. She did hate the young master, but she hated it more. I hate those assassins who poisoned her son and those who killed her son..."

Probably because she realized that the identity of the person behind was too sensitive, or she was not sure whether Gu Jiao had already understood this step.

Yujin paused, then changed her words, "Murderer. The princess took the initiative to kill, but she finally relented. She couldn't do it. She didn't set the fire."
