C15 Simple innocence

He urged her to go out again and again.

Even if Gu Mingyan knew that something was up, she would still have to follow him out. She had lived in the countryside for a long time, and had forgotten most of what had happened in Sky Flame City.

In the future, he could also run away at any time.

Gu Mingyan's mind had been wandering for a while, but he did not manage to see her recover even after Gu Ziyan turned his head back. He thought that she was a country bumpkin girl, and his eyes were filled with contempt.

Arriving at the clothing shop, the moment the Lady Boss saw that it was the young miss from the Prime Minister's Mansion family, she immediately came up to welcome her. She said that she wanted to pick out some clothes for her big sister, and also smiled faintly as she personally picked out some clothes and styles. The happy Lady Boss Lady instructed people to change their clothes, and said while smiling: "It's said that big miss Prime Minister's Mansion grew up in the countryside, and now that she has a little sister like this, it can be considered as a product of my previous life."

Look at what he's saying, what's wrong with it?!

Gu Mingyan only smiled politely, and bought some clothes and accessories, they were all available, the styles were all extremely good, and Gu Ziyan was not a stingy owner, he bought a lot of them generously, but the servants behind him found it hard to hold on to them, all the way, they kept praising her non-stop, and since business was different in the imperial court, naturally no one would agree with her, the young miss, who had no money.

Spending other people's money, Gu Mingyan didn't feel bad at all. He happily became a country girl, pulled Gu Ziyan's sleeve, stopped in front of the pharmacy and whispered: "Zi Yan, Mother has been living in the Serenity Temple for a long time, her health isn't too good, can she …"

Gu Ziyan agreed with a fake smile.

He regretted stepping into the medicinal formula.

The older sister from the countryside had a sharp eye, and she was very adept at reporting medicine. As soon as her peach blossom eyes caught a glimpse of the names on the cabinets, she wrote them down and reported them extremely quickly. However, after half an hour, she brought up two tonics, the Winter Insect, Summer Plant, Snow Ginseng and Ganoderma, all at once.

"Three hundred silver taels, Second Miss." The waiter smiled as he calculated the amount of silver.

Gu Mingyan, in the name of the village girl, obediently stood beside the medicine, and asked about the cure for the medicine, and even said that her mother had gone through too much pain and suffering of a father to look at, and only mentioned the owner who was about to cry. She even added a few more words, causing Gu Mingyan's eyes to immediately redden as he thanked her.

Gu Ziyan opened his mouth, originally wanting to say less, but now he could not.

"Although father doesn't come often, mother and Buddha are often together, so she's also very good." Gu Mingyan laughed through his tears as he sprawled on the stage and joked with the owner.

Many people in the shop looked over, they hadn't expected the prime minister to give up his wife and son.

"Now that I'm not dead yet, I still need a good match. I wonder who that Seventh Prince is, is he gentle to a woman?"

Gu Mingyan's question became even more innocent as she blinked her large peach blossom eyes.

"Seventh Prince has done a great job, but …"

Gu Ziyan saw that if he were to continue talking, he would get into trouble, so he casually paid for the money, and the bag of money immediately fell flat.

"Elder sister, it's getting late. It's better to bring our things back earlier."

"Right." The corners of Gu Ziyan's mouth twitched lightly as he laughed.

Her monthly allowance was only thirty taels of silver, but today she had spent ten months worth of it. How could she not be angry?

Gu Mingyan obediently followed behind Gu Ziyan, holding the herb in his hand, he raised the corner of his mouth.

Mother, your daughter can be considered to have made a small profit for you.

Without waiting to bring the medicinal ingredients back, Gu Mingyan secretly stored half of the ingredients in his spatial space, and the other half he gave to the bodyguard of the escort company to send to the Serenity Temple. Gu Mingyan immediately wrote a letter and wrapped the jewelry on his body along with it.

Gu Ziyan felt even more pained when he saw this.

He had originally wanted to be a filial daughter and a good younger sister, then do his own reputation outside.

But he never thought that he would be the one to be retorted to.

When he went back home, Gu Zhiyuan was annoyed when he heard that Gu Ziyan had gone out to spread some wealth: "Your sister is only just returning to the Shengan, as your sister, you naturally have to look after her, how can you spend so much money like this? If others look, wouldn't that mean that your father is going to be married to the same heaven?!"

"It's Zi Yan's fault. Daddy, don't be angry." As expected, Gu Ziyan's eyes turned red.

On the other hand, Gu Mingyan, who was kneading the chopsticks in his hand, muttered: "I'm so angry that I only care about my mother. I never thought that I would be in so much trouble for little sister Ziyan."

Gu Ziyan's expression changed, and even the Madam Liu who was sitting at the same table as him felt a chill in his eyes, and immediately said in a stern voice: "Mingyan, you don't know etiquette, if you don't know your place, you will lose face for the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't ask the mama by my side to teach you something."

In this way, he could find an opportunity to teach this girl a lesson.

But Gu Zhiyuan just stared at him coldly and coughed lightly: "Mingyan is still around one year old, please do not worry."

"Master, Miss Prime Minister's Mansion does not know etiquette. If this were to spread …"

"Madam!" Gu Zhiyuan immediately raised his voice, Madam Liu was stunned for a moment before recovering, he closed his mouth and stared straight into Gu Mingyan's eyes.

Gu Mingyan shrunk his neck down and lowered his head to eat his meal.

What was this couple doing now?

Waiting until he was full, Gu Mingyan was called into the study.

"It's only been a few years, but the Shengan has changed. Now that His Highness Seventh Prince has returned safely, you should pay a visit to the manor and deliver this letter to father. Bear in mind, do not provoke any trouble." Saying that, she handed a piece of paper over to her.

Gu Mingyan agreed on the surface but the inside did not change at all.

Qiu Ju and Chun Ying had already prepared and dressed as gifts a long time ago. Gu Mingyan then found a reason to bathe and change the medicine on his own.

Chun Ying laughed: "Seventh Prince's battle achievements are impressive, and you are a genius on the surface, the old lady was wondering when Eldest Miss would be tempted, and now it seems that Eldest Miss has taken a fancy to you."

"Not at all." Gu Mingyan reprimanded her. Behind the screen, she was half lying in the bath barrel with no spring in her eyes. Her eyes were cold as she opened the envelope.

"My daughter is innocent, it's only because her identity was missed by the assassins. I hope that Seventh Prince can take care of her for now."

After that were words of flattery and a few words of concern for his injuries.

It was no wonder he didn't want the aunt to teach him etiquette. He probably wanted to use his innocent name to deceive the Seventh Prince. However, after thinking about it, if the Seventh Prince would pity and be innocent, he was not a bad person.

But when he thought of entering that haunted house again, Gu Mingyan felt cold in his heart.

She was not afraid of anything in Heaven or Earth. She was only afraid of ghosts and poverty.

If he was penniless, if Gu Ziyan who was pretending to be kind did not have a purse by his side, then wouldn't he be suppressed at every turn?

After bathing and changing clothes, Gu Mingyan brought Qiuju and Chun Ying up onto the carriage, and watched as Qiuju intentionally hid the clothes away, acting as if she didn't know anything, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised as she leaned onto the window of the carriage and peeked outside.

He believed that with his current status, he would be able to return after living for a few days. However, he did not know if those paper men were still here.

Upon entering the Seventh Prince Residence, there were already two tall and straight guards at the door.

Chun Ying was a little older, walked forward and handed over the sign, then smiled: "Seventh Prince has managed to escape death, my young mistress is so worried that she can't think of food and tea. Today, I have come to see you, your highness, to express my feelings."

With that said, Gu Mingyan looked around the courtyard in a daze.

Isn't this the ghost realm!
