Chapter 228: Worry

Chapter 228 Worry

Li asked: "Where is the old man in Longying Guard? Have you ever seen the Dragon Mark Order?"

Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have to go back and ask Brother Ming to find out."

 Li nodded, "Go back and ask Brother Ming to ask the old man of Longying Guard to draw the dragon pattern order, and then find someone to search Nizi's residence."

Liu's eyes lit up, "Sister, this is a good idea. I'll go back and talk to Brother Ming. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Sister is tired and needs a rest."

Liu got the idea and wanted to return to Huafu immediately.

Li Shi nodded and warned: "Go, don't show off in the future, take good care of your legs, and tell Brother Ming, Ziqiu and the others to do it if you have anything to do."

After Mrs. Li finished her instructions, she shouted towards the door: "Here comes someone."

Mother Fang opened the door and came in. She bent her knees and said, "Madam."

Li ordered: "Send Xiao Ming back."

Mammy Fang bent her knees and bowed, turned around and gave instructions. A strong woman came in and carried Ms. Liu to the courtyard.

 Li followed Mrs. Liu out, and after sending Liu away, Li whispered to Aunt Fang: "Let someone go and see if the Duke is in the house?"

Mother Fang bent her knees and said, "Yes, I understand."

 Mrs. Li returned to the house. After a while, the servant came back and reported: "Second Madam, the people from Wenyuan Pavilion said that the Duke of Guo went out after lunch and has not returned to the house yet."

Li said: "I know, let people keep an eye on me. If the Duke of the country returns to the house, report him immediately."

 Mother Fang bent her knees and responded.

 Li turned to look at the hourglass, turned around and walked out.

 Mother Fang asked, “Where are you going, madam?”

Ms. Li sighed and said calmly: "It's dinner time, go to Rong'an Hall to serve the old lady for dinner. You don't have to follow, you go and see Ziran and let him eat well."

 Mother Fang bent her knees and responded: "Old slave, I understand."

Li went to serve Mrs. Yang for dinner, chatted with her for a while, and then came out of Rong'an Hall.

 

Li Shi nodded and said, "Follow me to Wenyuan Pavilion."

When the British Duke returned to the palace, his servants reported: "The second lady's people came to ask if the Duke is here."

 After hearing this, the British public asked, "Are there any guests in the house today?"

The servant leaned back and said, "Mrs. Liu from Hua Mansion has been here."

The British Duke nodded, "I understand, let's go down."

When Li came over, Du Bin was waiting at the door. When he saw Li, Du Bin bowed and said, "Second madam, please come in. The Duke is waiting for you in the study."

 Li went straight to the study.

Li entered the British study room. Half an hour later, Gu Huayu in Wutong Lane received the letter.

“Princess Princess, what should we do next?” Qing Yu asked.

Gu Huayu said: "Keep an eye on it and tell everyone to be careful. You can go down first."

Qingyu retreated.

Gu Huayu leaned on the soft couch and began to think deeply. Liu left Wutong Lane and went directly to the British Embassy.

After Liu left, Li went to see the British Duke again.

 What is the role of the British Duke in the affairs of the Hua family? Does the Hua family have conflicting interests with him?

 Did his father block his way? What is his motivation? Why did he want to put his father to death?

 A series of questions popped up, and Gu Huayu had a headache thinking about them, so she simply closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, Gu Huayu heard Lu Ziqin's footsteps, followed by the sound of unlocking the door. Soon, a familiar breath came to her face.

Gu Huayu opened her eyes, and saw an extremely handsome face in front of her. She asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"

Gu Huayu raised her hand to hold Lu Ziqin's face, shook her head, "I'm not tired, I'm waiting for you!"

Lu Ziqin's eyes were full of tenderness. He sat down next to Gu Huayu and put her in his arms.

He said dotingly: "You have a tired look on your brows, but you still say you're not tired? You've been busy all day today?"

Gu Huayu nestled in Lu Ziqin's arms and said lazily: "It's okay. Aunt Ping and her family came over in the morning and talked with them."

Lu Ziqin stroked Gu Huayu's broken hair and asked, "Can the old lady's eyes see?"

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Yes, I can see it."

Lu Ziqin lowered his head and kissed Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu's medical skills are amazing!"

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Ziqin, "Grandma's cataract is just a minor surgery."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said: "In the hands of people who know how to do it, it is naturally not difficult, but in the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, it is very difficult."

Gu Huayu replied: "That's right!"

Gu Huayu turned to look at Lu Ziqin and said, "Qingyan, I feel very sad when I see my grandmother crying with excitement today."

 Lv Ziqin understood Gu Huayu's mood, "Yes, I understand."

“Eye diseases like my grandmother’s are actually not complicated to deal with. Qingyan, Ruji has good medical skills. I want to teach him what I know and let him open a medical clinic to help people like my grandmother. Is that okay?”

 Ruji is a member of Lu Ziqin's family, and only after Lu Ziqin's nod can he go out to see the doctor.

Lu Ziqin nodded and said: "Yes, this is a good thing to bring good fortune and virtue. Ruji is given to you. From now on, he will be at your disposal. I will deed Ruji's body to you later."

Gu Huayu asked in surprise: "What kind of contract is Ruji?"

After Gu Huayu came into contact with Ruji, she realized that his medical skills were very high. How could a person with such high medical skills sell himself?

Lu Ziqin replied: "Death contract, all of them are death contracts. I have been sick since I was a child. My grandfather was worried about me and chose many people to study medicine. Ruji was the most talented and studied the hardest. His medical skills were not as good as those in the palace. The imperial doctor is poor."

Gu Huayu understood clearly that Ruji’s medical skills were originally cultivated by the Ye family.

Gu Huayu nodded and asked, "How can Ye Shangshu choose all of them for you?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes."

Gu Huayu asked in confusion: "You are a descendant of the British Duke. Shouldn't the people you command be arranged by the British Duke?"

Lu Ziqin gave a wry smile and said, "In the early years, Madam Yang was in charge of the media in the British government. The person assigned to me was very unsatisfactory. My mother was very angry and went to the British government to argue.

The British father-in-law asked my mother to choose someone, and my grandfather asked Ru'an and others to come and serve me. "

Gu Huayu asked: "Ye Shangshu is a civil servant, who taught Ru'an their martial arts?"

Lu Ziqin looked down at Gu Huayu and said, "The Ye family will pay tribute."

“Oh?” Gu Huayu sat up straight and asked, “Is the Ye family offering sacrifices?”

 It is not uncommon for wealthy families to hire martial artists to serve as nursing homes. Gu Huayu couldn't help but ask.

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, my grandfather and grandmother were a loving couple. The only children I have are my uncle Ye Cheng, my mother Ye Shan, and my empress Ye Yi.

After my aunt married into the Prince of Qin's palace, my grandfather and grandmother started running the Chang'an Restaurant, just to protect my aunt one day. Things are unpredictable, and the Queen eventually died young.

Gu Huayu sat up straight and asked, "So, Chang'an Restaurant is more than just a place to eat?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, Chang'an Restaurant is like Longyingwei's Guiyun Pavilion. Of course, Chang'an Restaurant has not been in business as long as Guiyun Pavilion, so it cannot be compared with Guiyun Pavilion, but its functions are similar."

“Chang’an Restaurant is in your hands?”

"Yes, when my grandfather was dying, he entrusted the Ye family to me. After my grandfather passed away, on May 7th, my grandmother handed over the Chang'an Restaurant to me." Lu Ziqin replied.

"So that's it. If you have medical skills, it would be a pity if you don't treat illnesses and save people. How about we open a medical clinic and invite a few doctors to help with the consultation?" Gu Huayu brought the topic back.

Lu Ziqin said with a smile: "I have given you the responsibility of handling me. You can arrange whatever you want."

Gu Huayu hugged Lu Ziqin and kissed her, "Qingyan, you are so kind, thank you. Tomorrow I will ask Uncle Hua to look for..."

Before Gu Huayu could finish her words, Lu Ziqin lowered his head and blocked her mouth, kissing her until Gu Huayu's face turned red and her heart pounded.

Lu Ziqin let go of Gu Huayu and whispered: "Girl, you are not allowed to thank me again in the future, remember?"

 Is this a punishment of thanks? Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin in confusion, the legendary gentle punishment?

Lu Ziqin saw the stunned Gu Huayu, lowered his head and kissed her again, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong? You're stupid..."

Gu Huayu raised her hands and put her arms around Lu Ziqin's neck, gagging his words.

Lu Ziqin was stunned for a moment, and then responded, moving from passive to active in the city | pool | attack | strategy.

 After lingering for a while, both of them stopped breathing.

Lu Ziqin lowered his head to look at Gu Huayu, who had a blushing face. His eyes were full of lust, and he got up and went to the bathroom.

Gu Huayu leaned back on the soft couch, touched her hot face with her hands, took two deep breaths, and let her consciousness return.

When Lu Ziqin came back, Gu Huayu was already sitting on the soft couch, reaching out to push the teacup on the table, "Qingyan, drink tea."

Lu Ziqin sat back down next to Gu Huayu, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked: "The banquet at Shi Mansion will be held for you tomorrow, right?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Aunt Ping is interested and wants me to integrate into the circle of aristocratic families. Have you received the message? Will you go?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, the government received a notice today about the banquet held for you. Of course I will go."

Gu Huayu thought about Shi Yamei and asked, "When will your stupid cousin come to propose marriage? If he doesn't come to propose marriage, Aunt Ping will have to negotiate another marriage for Yamei."

Lu Ziqin patted his head, "I've been busy dating you these days, so I forgot about it. I'll tell my aunt about it when I get back. Xiaoyu, when can I come to propose marriage?"

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Let's talk about Ye Damu now, and we'll talk about it later."

Lu Ziqin was thinking about coming to visit Mrs. Ping tomorrow, "Girl, how long will it be? Can you mention it in advance? Huh?"

How about just letting the old lady and Mrs. Wang know? Otherwise, I'm worried that they will negotiate a separate marriage for you. "

Gu Huayu was shocked by Lu Ziqin's sensitivity and asked, "How did you know?"

Lu Ziqin just said casually, but he didn't expect to bump into him. He asked nervously: "Is the old lady really planning to propose a marriage for you? Whose family? Xiaoyu, you promised me, you are yours, you are not allowed to negotiate for a marriage again. ”

Seeing Lu Ziqin's nervous look, Gu Huayu felt so happy that she nodded and said, "I remember that I didn't promise my grandmother and the others."

Lu Ziqin held Gu Huayu in his arms and asked seriously: "Really?"

 Gu Huayu nodded seriously, "Really!"

 Lv Ziqin asked: "Whose house does the old lady want to discuss with you?"

Gu Huayu winked at Lu Ziqin and said with a playful smile: "I was stupid to tell you this big jealous thing."

Lu Ziqin bared his teeth in a fierce manner and threatened: "Little girl, are you going to tell me?"

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. What will you do to me?"

Lu Ziqin asked with doting eyes: "Little girl, you are so arrogant because of your favor, aren't you?"

 Gu Huayu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, if you are favored by someone, why not be arrogant? I still want to be domineering under your favor. Is that okay?"

Lu Ziqin's jealousy dissipated and his heart was instantly filled. He smiled and said, "Okay, little girl, you can be domineering, but I will support you."

Even if she has the ability to be domineering, she doesn’t need anyone to back her up. But it feels so good to have someone pampering and pampering you.

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Okay, from now on I will light fires everywhere and cause trouble, and you will be responsible for putting out the fires."

Lu Ziqin rubbed Gu Huayu's head and said, "Okay, my little girl just has fun!"

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin, and suddenly felt a little scared. If something **** happened to her, what would she and Lu Ziqin do?

Lu Ziqin saw that Gu Huayu's smile froze and she just looked at him blankly, with a touch of sadness in her eyes. Her heart tightened and she asked, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and expressed her worries.

“Qingyan, Mrs. Liu came to Wutong Lane today.”

Lu Ziqin sat up straight and said seriously: "What is she doing here? To take you back to Hua Mansion?"

 Gu Huayu shook her head and briefly explained her purpose of coming.

 Lv Ziqin asked: "Has she seen you before?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "In the Chen family yard on Yulan Lane, she stood up for Mr. Lu and came to find trouble for Chen Xue."

Lu Ziqin thought about what happened when he just returned to Beijing, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Ms. Liu insists on taking you back to the palace. Is it because of the Dragon Mark Order?"

Gu Huayu said: "It should be. I used words to deceive her today because I wanted to see her reaction. After Mrs. Liu left here, she went to the British government."

  Lv Ziqin explained: “The second lady is Liu’s cousin.

Mrs. Liu is a concubine of the Liu family. She heard that she was abused by her mistress in her natal family when she was a girl. The mother of the second lady took pity on Mrs. Liu and took her to the Li Mansion.

 Liu and the second wife grew up together. The two sisters had a very good relationship, and the second wife protected Liu at all times.

Mr. Liu has been wronged by you, so it is reasonable for her to go to the British government to find the second wife to complain. "

Gu Huayu wanted to say something about Li going to meet the British father-in-law, but after the words came to her lips twice, she swallowed them back.

 The British government was his home, although he never found warmth in that home. But home is still home.

She didn't want him to know that she had planted spies in the British government.

Gu Huayu nodded, "You are right, maybe I am overthinking."

Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ziqin had an intuition that the faint sadness in Gu Huayu's eyes was related to this.

Gu Huayu pulled down the corner of her mouth and smiled dryly, and said truthfully: "I'm worried that the affairs of the Hua family back then were related to the British father-in-law."
