ake, I wouldn't go to jail for disobeying filial piety, nor would I endure the lashing. That wouldn't be worth it. But I have to let her crimes come to light through her own mouth."Qingqiu said: "Mada...Du SiZe: "..."

If she needs it, it's not impossible to add it.

That's to say, their relationship is romantic. If his cousin needs paternal love, Gu Jingxi can also treat his cousin like a daughter and take care of her, both as a husband and a father.

It's beyond audacity for him to say that!

Gu Jingxi ignored his expression and asked in a calm voice, "I remember your father is now the new county magistrate of Deqing County, Huzhou Prefecture"

The topic jumped too abruptly. Du Sizhe was confused, but he still replied honestly: “Yes, my father was originally the magistrate of Changzhou Prefecture. Because of a mistake in his duties, he was demoted. By coincidence, the county magistrate of Deqing County passed away, so my father was sent to Deqing County as the new county magistrate. He has just taken office."

Gu Jingxi, after hearing this, revealed a meaningful smile. Very good, it was as if someone had brought him a pillow while he was napping, just what he wanted.

Du Sizhe saw Gu Jingxi suddenly laugh, and laughed so deeply that he was taken aback. He couldn't help but overthink, frowned, and asked, "Why did Lord Gu suddenly bring this up Even if I have feelings for my cousin, Lord Gu should take it out on me, not my father."

Gu Jingxi gave him a glance: "Ayao only has me in her heart, from beginning to end, only me. What kind of vinegar would I eat In my eyes, you are not even a rival in love. The reason why I talk to you is because Ayao cares about you, your cousin, and you are one of the few who are good to Ayao."

Du Sizhe listened, his heart aching. He couldn't help but ask again, "Could it be that Lord Gu is trying to threaten me with my father to make sure I don't have any improper thoughts towards my cousin"

Gu Jingxi raised an eyebrow: "Even if you have impure thoughts about Ayao, there's no need to fear. Why would I threaten you with Duke Du"

"Then Du Si-ze pressed on, "Why did Lord Gu suddenly bring up my father"

Gu Jingxi said matter-of-factly, "Caring for elders, your father, according to seniority, I should follow Ayo and call you Uncle."

Du Sizhe said nothing, muttering to himself in his heart: "Who would believe such nonsense"

For a moment, Du Si Ze said: “Master Gu, please rest assured. As long as you can truly bring happiness to my cousin, then I will just be her cousin and fulfill my duty as an elder brother.”

Gu Jingxi knew he was misunderstood, but he had no intention of explaining anything. He just nodded lightly and said in a soft voice, "It's getting late now, Ayao is still waiting at home. I'll go back to the mansion first. Sir Du, you can do as you please." With that, he stood up and strode toward the door.

Seeing this, Du SiZe no longer lingered and followed in his footsteps.

When it came time to pay, Du Si Ze paid first. Gu Jing Xi didn't fight him for it, anyway a cup of tea wasn't worth much money. If he wanted to insist on paying, then let him.

As soon as they left the teahouse, they stumbled upon a good show, a dispute between two young ladies.

Two young ladies, dressed in fine clothes, were quarreling on the street. One of them was arrogant and domineering, pulling the other's hair and slapping her face. The maidservant beside the victim wanted to protect her mistress, but she was held back by the other side's maidservant.

The haughty young lady slapped the other person three times in a row, then kicked her to the ground, and warned coldly: "Meng, don't let me see your pretentious appearance again. I don't believe you if you say you have no feelings at all."

The girl lying on the ground had her hair disheveled and was covering her face and sobbing. Although you couldn't see her features clearly, the way her shoulders shook with every sob made her look utterly pitiful, eliciting sympathy from everyone present.

Just as the young lady was about to do something further to her, a righteous person immediately stepped forward and stopped her: "Young lady, even if this girl has upset you, it's best to let bygones be bygones. Don't go too far."

This righteous man is Du Sizhe.

That girl looked at Du Sizhe and sneered, "This young master is indeed a kind-hearted person, but it's a pity that your kindness is misplaced. Do you know who she is"

“She is the second daughter of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. Just like her vicious mother, she is a despicable person. Her mother had always loved Marquis Meng and murdered his original wife to be with him. Afterward, she seduced Marquis Meng by feigning gentleness and kindness, deceiving everyone in the Meng family and successfully marrying him. Now she has set her sights on a man who already has a fiancée and plans to steal him away. What a despicable wretch!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd gasped. The second daughter of Yongchang Bo's mansion Everyone originally thought that a daughter like Sun Shi, with her venomous nature, couldn't be any good. Now it truly confirmed the saying, "Like mother, like daughter." The mother used despicable means to steal another man, and the daughter also wants to steal another man. Both mother and daughter love to steal other people's men.

Du Sizhe hadn't expected that the girl was Me Mengjinya, his cousin Ayao's younger sister. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have meddled in this affair. It was such a bad luck!

Gu Jingxi is Meng Jin Yu's brother-in-law, what does he care about as a brother-in-law

Du Si Ze thought to himself, glancing around at his side. He found that Gu Jing Xi had long since disappeared, probably knowing that the girl was Meng Jin Yu, he immediately left to avoid trouble.

The young lady saw that he wasn't going to speak anymore, so she politely reminded him, "Young master, before you save someone in the future, it's best to think carefully if they are worth saving. Even if you save this kind of person, you will only cause yourself trouble."

Meng Jinyu stood up, her tears falling like broken beads. There were obvious palm prints on both sides of her face. In public, she was disgraced and both desperate and wronged: "Miss Qin, if you want to accuse someone, there's no need to look for reasons. My mother did something wrong, but she has already paid the price. As for your claim that I seduced your fiance, it's utter nonsense. I don't know your fiance well; he just pointed me in the right direction."

"Need directions" The Qin girl sneered, "You wouldn't even believe that yourself. Who asks for directions while holding hands That fickle thing, if you like him so much, I'll go back and have my parents break the engagement and give him to you."

"At that moment, I tripped and almost fell. He steadied me. Since Miss Qin doesn't believe me, I shall prove my innocence with my death." Meng Jin Yu said, and was about to ram himself into the wooden table at a nearby stall.

The street vendor was afraid she would ruin his stall and get implicated in a murder. He moved with lightning speed to block her path, taking the brunt of Meng Jin Yu's headbutt. Perhaps because Miss Qianjin was delicate and weak, she didn't have much force, so he remained unharmed after being hit. But the delicate Miss Qianjin fainted instead.

Everyone witnessed this shocking scene and their hearts leaned towards Meng Jinyu. After all, the young lady dared to prove her innocence with death, showing that she wasn't lying. It was Miss Qin who misunderstood and publicly defamed her innocent reputation.

When Qin girl saw this, she was also scared silly. Seeing everyone pointing at her, she got so angry that she stomped her feet: "Do you really believe her She's all putting on an act, trying to gain your sympathy!"

"Someone said, “This young lady dared to die to clear her name. It shows that you really misunderstood her.”

"Yes, this has driven people to such a desperate state, and they still refuse to let go."

"That's just it, you have to push people to death only then are you satisfied"

……

Qin girl listened to their accusations, her anger rising. She glanced at Meng Jin Yu who had fainted, it looked like an act, but she had no proof.

She was accused and her face flushed with shame, turning from pale to red several times. Finally, she let out a cold snort and left in anger.

People always tend to sympathize with the weak, as if whoever is weaker has a point. at your useless self, even if you tried again, it would be the same."Hearing this, Lord Wei once again wanted to prove himself. But thinking back to the two times he had lost face earlier, he clenche...
