Chapter 45 - The growing interest

”Thirteen, keep an eye on her.” Yun Qianliang rubbed her glabella in exhaustion.

”Should I hand the culprit over to the Jing Zhao Mansion after capturing him?” Gu Shisan asked.

Yun Qianliang pondered for a while, then said: ”Bring them back for questioning first, hand them over after receiving all the confessions.”

Wen Meng was a restless person, if she did not have a handle on Wen Meng, then there would be an endless stream of troubles in the backyard, and she did not have the heart to fight with him again and again, so holding her in her hands was the best idea.

Gu Shisan retreated after receiving the order, and turned to look at where Gu Yicheng was hiding.

”Haven't you heard enough of the Prime Minister's corner?”

With that said, Gu Yicheng walked over with his hands behind his back, and sat on the sandalwood chair on his left.

”You think I'm lying?” Yun Qianliang heard his praise, and smiled: ”There really is one, so if you dare touch my Cloud Water Pavilion's money, I'll definitely let you have it.”

She had a strange hobby of marking money. Paper and money were convenient, and gold and silver were much more inconvenient. However, she was used to it.

”Do you love money that much?” Gu Yicheng looked at her curiously.

It was easy to understand why the poor loved money. It wasn't common for a rich girl like her to love money.

Yun Qianliang was slightly stunned, his eyes turned, and his curled up eyelashes flapped like butterfly wings.

The spies could not have weaknesses, but the lurking quest required a human's weakness. Only with a weakness would the enemy think that they could control it. Fishing required tools, and if the lurker was bait, then the human's weakness would be hooks with fishing lines.

Money was the most vulgar thing, but it was the easiest thing to lack.

For the corruption of money, it was simple and crude.

After approximately half a cup of tea's worth of time, her red lips had bent and her eyes were like crescent moons. Yun Qianliang revealed a bright and relaxed smile, as sonorous and forceful words jumped out of her red lips, ”There is.”

Gu Yicheng stared at the smile that was as bright as a flower, a faint light flashed in her eyes, shining like a myriad of stars.

Gu Yicheng felt that the young lady in front of him was finally no longer hiding in the fog, playing hide and seek. She parted the layers of white fog around her, and with the light of early summer, she stepped into the world.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that carried the aura of a fire that could cause the world to tremble, as if she was about to overthrow all other living beings.

Gu Yicheng's tongue swept across his gums, the interest that surged in his heart making his heart itch.

”I am in a good mood today and have decided to help you.” Gu Yicheng slapped his hand on the table and said, ”Tonight, we will sing and dance as much as we can, let's drink and chat merrily. How about it?”

”Sure.” Yun Qianliang was in high spirits as she magnanimously agreed.

Wen Meng would not easily believe her words, she had to wait and see before she could take action. Tonight, the Shengpeng Dance prevented her from escaping, so time was of the essence.

However, in order to protect Wen Meng, she used this move too stealthily, using the name of helping her. In reality, it prevented Wen Meng from finding the culprit, so as to remind her that she should calm her mind and not lose her composure.

Since they were going to exchange blows, she would accompany them to the end.

Wen Meng's character might not be as strong as Gu Yicheng's, she would definitely be able to hold on.

Yun Qianliang left the Qing Hu Tong with light steps and took her usual nap. She spent her afternoon practicing calligraphy and painting, passing away her free time.

The sun was waning, birds were flying back to the forest, the sky was completely dyed red, and the Gu Xiangfu's singing and dancing feast had just begun.

The song and dance feast was in the garden, surrounded by elaborate palace lights, and early beauties were dancing to the sound of the music.

Yun Qianliang used the Evening meal to delay them for a while, but by the time she arrived at the garden, it was already too late.

She led her servant into the light, which illuminated her beautiful face, adding to her charm.

Yun Qianliang usually did not care about dressing up, but tonight, she specially made some makeup for Ying Huanhuan and put on the Hundred Water Dress with the red plum embroidered on it.

Walking slowly towards her, her dress sleeves were like water, lightly rippling.

Yun Qianliang walked past the beautiful woman and arrived at the place where she was holding a wine jug and listening to music and watching dancing.

”I'm late, please forgive me.” Her eyebrows slightly lowered as she spoke in a soft voice. Her expression was so gentle that it seemed as if it could be squeezed out.

”Qian Chao, this song and dance feast is for you, but you came late. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it if you forgive me.” As if Gu Yicheng was drunk, he narrowed her eyes to look at the beauty in front of him.

Yun Qianliang smiled, then walked to his own seat, picked up her wine jug and cup, and once again returned to his seat.

”I will punish myself with three cups of wine. Is this acceptable?” Yun Qianliang asked.

”Yes, yes.” Gu Yicheng said.

”Madam.” Chun Hua worriedly called out softly, attempting to stop her.
