C114

The National Duke's Mansion has been desolate for a long time, the door can be used as a sparrow.

Today, they did not wear any clothing that would reveal their identity, but from afar, the two guards had already increased their numbers to two people, four people in the inner room, and one of the adults had brought his son in. The several brocade boxes had been respectfully sent to the side to be counted, so even through the door, one could see that there were quite a few of them.

Looks like the arrival of Crown Prince Xiao Ze had brought quite a few benefits to his National Duke's Mansion.

She knew that it was not easy for her grandfather, Bai Feiyu, to obtain the title of Duke of Zhenguo. The reason why he was down and out was mostly because the relationship between the emperor and his father was not close, and when the emperor ascended the throne, he dismissed the old tribes one by one.

When the emperor ascended to the throne, he used lightning-like methods. Today, the ministers did not dare to act rashly.

The Duke of Zhenguo could still stay, but he only had his illustrious achievements as well as Bai Feiyu's judgment of the time and place. His three sons were not in a high position, and even though his best daughter was given the title of princess, she was still far from being able to marry into another country.

Although her mother had been converted to the Buddhist Sangha, in the family tree of the prime minister, she held the position of mistress.

It was different from what she remembered. On this day, the most important person was the man and the wife.

A married couple could only get married for the first time. Even if the two went their separate ways, or the man married someone else and got married, no matter who's in the family tree, the wife's surname would always be written on it.

Therefore, her identity as a direct descendant was perfectly justifiable, and her identity was indeed illustrious.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, waiting for those people to leave, her shoulder was lightly patted.

Turning his head, he saw his cousin Bai Song holding onto a folding fan, beside him was a graceful man, the scholar's Qi was strong, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were like a fox's, the corners of his eyes had a smile, one hand held in front of his stomach, the other hand behind his back, he smiled at her.

"How can I not enter the Prefecture?"

Bai Song first looked at her, and seeing that Gu Mingyan did not know how to respond, he could only nod his head: "He is the Young Master of the Four Seas Escorts Office, and one of my friends."

"I am Tong Hui."

He bowed slightly.

Gu Mingyan nodded, then saw his cousin Bai Song pointing at him: "This is my cousin, Gu Mingyan."

He didn't say whose residence he was from.

On the contrary, he heard Tong Hui chuckle lowly, and said helplessly: "Who doesn't know that this is the great miss Prime Minister's Mansion who has returned to the Shengan. Your brother and I, we still have to be careful?"

"This cousin of mine is born pretty, but she's already engaged. Aren't I afraid that you will have some ill-intentioned thoughts that will make you burn with anger?"

Bai Song also laughed along. Tong Hui hurriedly looked at Gu Mingyan: "Eldest Miss, you have to help me judge what to do."

"Cousin is too kind, but there are so many beautiful women in the Shengan, Ming Yan cannot be ranked."

Seeing that there was no difference between their words, Gu Mingyan guessed that they were his cousin's friends, and laughed along.

"Cousin really doesn't know."

"Stop teasing her, she's just a little girl." Seeing that Tong Hui was going to take out the money bag to give to the servant, Bai Song raised his hand to stop him. "Don't even think about buying a gift, come back with me to see Grandfather.

Tong Hui laughed, and even rubbed Gu Mingyan's head when he left with a hand, and under Bai Song's furious voice, he quickly headed back to the manor.

Gu Mingyan was confused, and followed Bai Song's footsteps to walk forward.

He saw that Tong Hui, who had already left a long time ago, no longer had any scholarly aura on him. Instead, he had a free and easy appearance.

"Cousin, this Young Master Tong …"

"He's my dad's adopted son. Back then, something happened to the head of the Four Seas Escort Office, and my dad brought a few uncles to investigate it thoroughly. That way, the Four Seas Escort Office wouldn't be infuriated by the traitors." Bai Song waved the fan in his hand gently and helped raise the hair by her ear, then said: "The two families are on good terms, Tong Hui is considered my little brother, so you should call him big brother, but he doesn't like this surname, you should call him big brother Hui."

This was the first time he was treated like this by his family.

The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth raised into a faint smile, and his body slightly jumped two steps forward to look at Bai Song.

"I will call her twice later. Is cousin not curious about what Miss Siyun said?"

"What did he say?"

Bai Song's footsteps paused, and the expression on his face changed.

"Unless you personally speak to her, she won't let you go so easily."

Gu Mingyan blinked his eyes seriously, and looked at him: "Although Miss Siyun is a little fat, but she is born cute, and her bearing is also much bigger than others. Such a beauty, can't cousin brother think about it?"

If her cousin was truly careless, how could he make her carefully return the Jade Carp?

As expected, the expression on Bai Song's face became darker and darker, as though he was holding back in his heart. In the end, he only helplessly looked at her cousin and sighed: "You don't understand."

These were the words that Gu Mingyan hated the most, but he could do nothing about it.

If he was unwilling to say, there were a thousand reasons why no one would know.

When Gu Mingyan stepped into the manor, there were very few people behind him, so Tong Hui had already disappeared without a trace.

"I'm afraid that I have come today to take back Linglong."

With that said, Gu Mingyan raised her hand and took out the jade hairpin that was hidden in her bosom. The moment she received the jade hairpin, she touched the coiling dragon on the jade hairpin.

Even though she didn't say it clearly, it was to let her take the item back.

Bai Song frowned: "What's the difference between Linglong and this jade hairpin?"

"I don't know."

Gu Mingyan could only helplessly shake his head.

Seeing his cousin shake her head, Bai Song couldn't help but take another look at the jade hairpin, and kept it.

He walked all the way to the house and called Linglong back from his father. Then, he heard his father whispering to him, "Linglong is His Highness' personal item."

Bai Song suddenly realised, and both father and son looked over.

She then saw Gu Mingyan holding onto the pastries given to her by the two young maids, picking out what she liked to eat, she was serious about it.

The two maidservants muttered how adorable this Young Madam Biao was.

She had already hung Linglong on her waist, along with the identity plate of the National Duke's Mansion that she had hidden in her bosom.

"Cousin sister, I'm afraid you don't understand Seventh Prince's intentions."

Bai Song felt his palms break out in a cold sweat, feeling helpless. "It's just that for some reason, father thinks that this jade hairpin is …"

"Watch for a few more days, then take Ming Yan to the hall for a meal."

Bai Song's father shook his head helplessly and kept the jade hairpin for his son.

He came to Gu Mingyan's side, and was about to bring her to the hall for dinner. On the way, he couldn't help but ask: "Cousin sister, what kind of person do you think His Highness is?"

"He uses talents well and does things in secret. The subordinate beside you is interesting and loyal. His kung fu is exceptional. He is a good prince. "
