Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

On the hilltop not far away, Gu Ning was watching this scene coldly.

Chunyu's voice was extremely low, but under the quiet moonlight, it was enough for Gu Ning to hear clearly.

"Qiu Yun has left the capital with Gu Hengjin, and the Crown Princess has sent assassins."

Gu Ning raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "As expected of her."

Gu Qingqiu seems to be aloof and arrogant, but in fact he is more cruel and ruthless than anyone else. Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin are just that, but that is Gu Zhiyuan.

As Gu Zhiyuan said, he treated Gu Qingqiu very well. Maybe it was his inferiority complex. Whatever Gu Ning had, he would give Gu Qingqiu a share. After learning about the relationship between Gu Qingqiu and Chu Yunyi,

, he only wanted to fulfill them, and did not take Gu Ning to heart at all.

To Gu Ning, Gu Zhiyuan was not a good father, but to Gu Qingqiu, Gu Zhiyuan treated her extremely well in every aspect, but even so, Gu Qingqiu could still kill him with her own hands.

"It's true that a dog bites a dog." Gu Ning chuckled, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Gu Zhiyuan is dead without me taking action. Is he the only one who wants to disturb his mother's cultivation?"

"The county master has a wonderful plan." Chunyu said with emotion, "I was planning to take action, but I didn't expect that the princess would do it first."

Gu Ning's eyes were dark and unclear, and a meaningful smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Isn't she doing this just to keep her position as the crown princess? But Xu Qingqing is not so easy to deal with."

When she was in Jiangnan, she had dealt with Xu Qingqing. The woman who could single-handedly manage the Jiangnan intelligence network for Chu Yunyi was not the weak woman Gu Qingqiu thought.

"I will save the lives of Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin for use, and try to protect them as much as possible." When Gu Ning spoke, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he added, "Just do your best."

Chunyu knew Gu Ning's disgust towards mother and son, so she nodded quickly: "I will remember this."

"When they are both defeated in the fight, I will give this gift to Gu Qingqiu." Gu Ning looked in the direction of Gu Qingqiu with a smile, and her mood became happy at this moment.

Didn't Chu Yunyi want the throne? Then she would let him watch the position that was within his reach fly away! Didn't Gu Qingqiu betray his sisters and kill his biological father with his own hands just for the sake of Chu Yunyi and the Crown Princess's position? Then she would

After Gu Qingqiu gets all this, he must watch it all turn into bubbles!

Watching her building rise, watching her entertaining guests, watching her building collapse.

A heavy rain washed away all traces of the suburbs of Beijing.

Gu Zhiyuan's disappearance did not arouse anyone's suspicion. He had already disappeared from the sight of everyone in the capital. No one mentioned him, and no one dared to remember him.

What got everyone talking a lot were two major events that happened today.

First, during today's court meeting, the emperor suddenly fainted, and then an order came out - the prince would supervise the country.

Secondly, it is a happy event for Pei Mansion - the chief of Changning County is getting married to Commander Xie, who is very popular in front of the emperor! The wedding is in one month!

"I'm afraid the sky in our Chu country is about to change!"

The emperor is seriously ill and the prince is supervising the country. At this juncture, the Pei family is getting married to the new noble of the dynasty. No matter how you look at it, they are deliberately opposing the prince. The powerful ministers and the prince are facing each other. This is clearly a sign of chaos.

What's more, rumors began to spread, saying that the Pei family intended to form an alliance with the second prince to help the second prince win the throne. These rumors spread more and more widely, even thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River.

Only the Pei family and the Xie family seemed unaffected.

The two families were clearly separated by a wall, but the Xie Mansion sent someone to deliver the betrothal gift, but they had to go all the way around the capital. The golden light that inadvertently leaked out from under the red silk was almost blinding.

The eyes of several men who were watching the excitement flickered a few times, dispersed, and asked similar questions in various places.

"Master Xie has only been an official for less than a year. How did he get so much money to buy betrothal gifts? Now that I look at it, the value of these betrothal gifts is probably no less than one hundred thousand taels!"

"Where did a military general who just joined the imperial court get so much money? Isn't it because he got rich?"

「

No wonder people say that forewarning can make people rich overnight. Look, Mr. Xie just went to forewarning once, and now he has so much money that he can marry the head of the county!"

These similar remarks were heard in various lively places, and many people subconsciously agreed upon hearing these words.

However, some old people who heard about book reviews in the streets and alleys all day long shook their heads and refuted such remarks in loud voices.

"Are you stupid? Mr. Xie's sudden leap from a Pei Mansion guard to the deputy capital commander was based on his merits in rescuing the emperor from the rebels? The rewards sent from the palace in those few days

, it’s much more than this!”

Seeing that the eyes of the people around him were all focused on him, the old man said proudly: "My home is near here, and I could see clearly in those days. There were so many rewards, let alone marrying the princess, even marrying the princess.

More than enough!"

"Besides, the Pei family holds the head of Changning County in their hands, so how can they let her get married in a shabby manner? Even if Mr. Xie doesn't have so much money, the Pei family is willing to subsidize more for the sake of the head of Changning County!"

"This is indeed the truth!"

Those few voices were quickly suppressed by people's discussions. The queue to deliver the betrothal gift was extremely long, with gongs and drums beating all the way. The cold and solemn capital city in winter was somewhat chilled by the noisy gongs and drums.

Pei Mansion, most of the dignitaries in the capital have gathered here.

As betrothal gifts were delivered to Pei's house one after another, the shrewd ladies' eyes flickered, and they could tell how much these things were worth just by looking at them.

"Master Xie may have moved the entire Xie family's property here. This entire set of tables and chairs are made of jade. Even if they are not of the best quality, they are still worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

"You only look at the big ones, so of course there is nothing good about them. But I can see clearly. The box of pearls is round and round, as big as my thumb. It must be a reward from the emperor!"

"There are not many people in the entire capital who can give such a betrothal gift."

"I'm afraid it's the royal family..."

They clicked to the end, but they knew it very well.

When the prince was still the third prince, all the betrothal gifts and dowries received when he got married were incomparable to what they receive today.

"After all, she comes from a small family, and she has parents like that." A lady muttered, "To be able to provide a dowry of sixty dollars is incredible!"

"Shh!"

The lady beside her looked nervous and pushed her hard with her elbow.

As the people around her saluted one after another, cold sweat broke out on her back, and she quickly knelt down together.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"See the Crown Princess."

As two figures appeared at the door, the bustling front hall fell silent.

Chu Yunyi looked at the front yard where betrothal gifts were piled up. Ren was annoyed, but his handsome face remained majestic: "There is no need to be polite. I am attending the banquet today as a junior. There is no need to pay attention to those customs."

present."

Even so, no one dares to take it seriously.

Gu Qingqiu followed Chu Yunyi, always placing his hand on her lower abdomen, protecting her most precious thing in a subtle way.

The servants of the Pei family were sweating profusely and were struggling to carry the betrothal gifts. According to custom, these betrothal gifts had to be placed in the yard for a whole day. However, in the huge front yard of the Pei family, the betrothal gifts had already piled up like a mountain, and

There is a seemingly endless stream of betrothal gifts being delivered outside.

"Go and ask the housekeeper if you can move some of the betrothal gifts into the warehouse! There is really no room for them in the front yard! How many betrothal gifts are left?"

"One hundred and twenty!" The servant who was counting was also sweating profusely, but after careful calculation, he frowned and said, "But our front yard won't be full of them!"

"Don't you look at how big these wooden boxes are!" The servant carrying them panted, and the four of them put the boxes down with difficulty. "This is twice as big as an ordinary box!"

"No wonder!" The servant who was counting suddenly realized, and then smiled happily, "It seems that Mr. Xie really attaches great importance to our county master. This betrothal gift is five times that of ordinary people!

"you do not say!"

Several servants were talking about it, asking Tai to lead them inside.

The expressions on both the couple's faces were not very good.

Chu Yunyi took a few deep breaths to calm down his turbulent mood, but Gu Qingqiu beside him could not be so calm.

In her eyes, these servants' words and even the betrothal gifts placed in the front yard were a mockery of herself!

Ridiculing her that even if she married the prince, she would not be as good as Gu Ning!

Her delicate makeup couldn't hide her pale face, and Chu Yunyi's stiff expression made her feel even more embarrassed.

"What is Your Highness thinking?" Gu Qingqiu looked straight at Chu Yunyi and murmured, "Are you like those people outside and look down on me?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi's eyebrows quickly showed a trace of impatience: "What are you thinking about again?"

His attitude made Gu Qingqiu feel even more uneasy. She grabbed Chu Yunyi's clothes and persistently wanted an answer: "Don't you think it's worth it, Your Highness? Do you think marrying me would be better than marrying Gu Ning?"

Her voice was not loud, but the way she was entangled with Chu Yunyi made many people look at her strangely.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Chu Yunyi threw her hand away impatiently, "Today the king was ordered to come to congratulate me. If there is a turmoil because of you..."

Gu Qingqiu met his indifferent eyes mixed with disgust, and curled up her hands tightly in her sleeves. At this moment, her heart felt as painful as a knife.

"You go to the female guest." Chu Yunyi said coldly, "You represent the face of my king, and you must not make any mistakes! Do you understand?"

"Yes." Gu Qingqiu nodded, suppressing the grievances and pain in his heart.

When she saw Chu Yunyi leaving quickly, she was anxious to get rid of her, and her inner uneasiness became more and more serious.

At this moment, a sneer sounded in her ears.

This familiar voice made her pupils shrink.

"Gu Ning!" She gritted her teeth, "How long have you been listening here?"

"It started when you asked him if he regretted marrying you." Gu Ning leaned lazily against the tree trunk and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I have a better ear."
