Chapter 114 Face
"No... What's going on? It's so dangerous. Even though that old man was smiling and joking in front of me, I heard he has some reputation outside. Normal things shouldn't be difficult for him."
Gu Niannian leaned her head closer to Gu Yu and waved. Gu Yu also leaned over.
"Is your father more powerful or is the prince more powerful?"
Gu Yu scratched his head and said, "I don't know."
"People in the officialdom have huge interests involved. In terms of power and status, it must be the crown prince. But standing high doesn't just mean you can see farther, but you can also fall harder if you're not careful..."
A word awakened the dreamer, and Gu Niannian's eyes suddenly widened. "If he is just a discarded pawn...it would only take a word from the emperor..."
"But the most urgent thing now is to investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Yes! It's not feasible to rely on our own guesses and conjectures to figure out the whole story."
"Yes, I will assist my brother in investigating this matter. It's better for you not to get involved in it," Li Jing said to Gu Niannian in a rare firm tone.
"Okay~"
"If you don't let me participate, can I give you some advice?" Gu Niannian blinked her big eyes and said coquettishly.
Li Jing glanced aside, trying not to look at her, so as not to disturb his mind, "No."
"Can I watch from the side?" Gu Niannian lowered her posture.
"How do you see it?"
"Dress up as a maid or a servant."
Li Jing turned his head and glanced up and down at the person sitting on the bed, his eyes seemed to say, how can you be a maid with your looks?
Gu Niannian met his gaze and of course knew what he wanted to say. To be honest, she also felt that it was not feasible. After all, she looked exactly like her brother, and others could see it at a glance. It was too easy to be exposed.
The twinkle in his eyes gradually dimmed. "I don't like this, I don't like that. I just want to feel a sense of participation. Is that so difficult?"
Gu Niannian gave up and started to throw a tantrum.
"Well...it's not impossible." Gu Yu stroked his chin as if thinking.
Gu Niannian's eyes suddenly brightened, "What do you need me to do?"
"Just change your face!"
"Change my face? Then... am I still me?"
Gu Yu pulled a stool over to the bed and sat down. "This face-changing is not the same as that face-changing."
"Don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly." Gu Niannian urged.
"Actually, I can also make human skin masks."
"What?" Gu Niannian was so surprised that she thought to herself, you are the bug of this place! Anything is fine.
Gu Niannian couldn't help but hold Gu Yu's head and kissed her on the face, "How come you are so great!"
Gu Yu wiped the saliva from his face with disgust and said with a look of disgust, "That's what you say, but can you please stop spitting in my face?"
“Is it dirty?”
Gu Niannian didn't care and said apologetically, "I forgot, doctors are all mysophobic, I'll be more careful next time."
"Will this human skin mask cause damage to the human face?" Li Jing expressed his doubts.
Face is still very important to a person, and he doesn't want to cause any bad things to Gu Niannian.
"Yes, a little. After all, human skin masks aren't very breathable, so I might get some pimples. But otherwise, nothing serious."
"Okay then, do you have any ready-made ones? I want to try it."
"Yes, yes. What kind do you want? A man or a woman?"
"A man with the most ordinary looks, the kind you can't find in a crowd."
If she doesn't participate, she can't attract too much attention. It would be best for her to be an invisible person.
Li Jing nodded in satisfaction, "That's fine."
"It's just..." Gu Yu scratched his head and asked in embarrassment
"Just what?"
"The ready-made masks are not here. They are at my house in Yunnan. It's a bit far away."
“How long does it take to make it now?”
"Two days."
"When did Brother and Master Gu San agree to meet?"
"tomorrow!"
……
Second day
Gu Rujun looked at the three words "Qingfeng House" written on the door in front of her.
The servant hurried over to greet him, bowing and saying, "Is this the young master of the Gu family?"
"Ah."
"My dear, please follow me."
There was a screen at the entrance with a landscape embroidered on it, which looked very elegant. There were some flowers and plants planted on both sides of the bluestone road. Gu Rujun grew up in a small medicine pot, so she knew some of them.
After seeing these, he felt a little better. He had thought that Mr. Gu San was rich, a spendthrift, and had no taste for elegance. It turned out that it was really his own prejudice that made him misunderstand him.
After walking about five hundred steps, I saw a pavilion in front of me. There was a man sitting in the courtyard. Although he was not young, he looked very healthy.
"My dear, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." After saying that, he walked out on his own.
Gu Rujun stepped forward, feeling incredibly uneasy. Although he was here to gain leverage, if you think about it from another perspective, this man is Xiao Yu'er's biological father...
Gu Rujun stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Gu Rujun greets the Third Master."
Master Gu raised the corner of his mouth and said in a deep and steady voice, "Are you Gu Rujun?"
Gu Rujun's heart skipped a beat. The Third Master had seen Nian Nian pretending to be him before, but he had never seen the real Gu Rujun.
Gu Rujun calmed down and said in a steady voice, "That's right."
"How old are you?" asked Mr. Gu San, stroking his beard.
"Twenty and one." Gu Rujun answered honestly.
"Sit down." Mr. Gu waved his hand.
Gu Rujun's eyes moved slightly, she lifted her robe and sat opposite the Third Master, pushing a cup of tea in front of her.
Master Gu, "Try it."
"Are you here for Xiaoyuer this time?" Mr. Gu fiddled with the rosewood teacup in his hand and slowly uttered a few words.
For a while…
"More than that." Gu Rujun replied
Mr. Gu Sanye paused while fiddling with the teacup, and a few drops of water spilled out onto the table.
Gu Rujun looked at the drops of water on the table and slowly uttered a few words, "Lan~yue~..."
Before he could even utter the word "lou", he heard a loud bang, and the red sandalwood cup in the Third Master's hand shattered into pieces. "Since we're not here to discuss Xiaoyu'er, let's go!"
Gu Rujun suddenly raised her head, looking at the Third Master in disbelief. "Let's go?"
He just said the two words "Lan Yue" and was interrupted before he could even say the word "Lou".
Gu Xiao sees off the guests...
A tall and strong man came over, stretched out his hand expressionlessly and said, "Sir, please!"
Gu Rujun didn't expect this to happen. He had only said two sentences! How could things be so serious?
He wanted to ask another question...
"Let the little girl come back and have dinner with an old man like me when she's free." Mr. Gu's words just happened to interrupt him.
for a while
"I will bring the message, but whether I can come or not..."
Whether he comes or not is not something I can control. Gu Rujun said half of it, and Master Gu Sanye could guess the other half without him saying it.
After leaving the gate of Qingfeng Residence, Gu Rujun went straight to his home. He knew that this matter was dangerous, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous. He was not allowed to say anything. Thinking of the word "death" written with water droplets on the table, he had to go back and tell them not to act rashly.
