The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C272 This hairpin looks very familiar

Madame Song Li thought about Gu Xin’s matter and for the first time, her heart approved of her daughter’s way of doing things.

If that matter were to spread, the one standing at the heart of the storm would definitely be her home.

Master Wen followed the crowd out of the House of Northern Marquis. After parting ways with his comrades, they headed straight for home.

He was of the ninth rank and was born in the cold. He could neither ride in a palanquin nor ride a horse.

There was only an old woman and an old servant in the family who took care of her, and so she had to rely on her wife’s daily needlework for her mother’s medicine.

He also had to make some money by helping Book Shop write books everyday to fill up his household.

Even so, life was still tight.

There was no helping it, the salary of a ninth rank official was not enough for them to help each other out in the capital.

Master Wen was very poor, and at the beginning, he had also been inferior to others.

He had been studying hard for ten years. He thought that once he became an official, he would be able to live a good life.

Not all scholars could become officials, and not all officials could become limitless in their glory.

However, as time went on, all sorts of things like pride and prestige would be thrown to one side.

He was not a smart person with a long sleeve, and there was nothing in his family that could be given to help him find a way out.

He could only keep his feet planted on the ground and do his own dirty work. Every day, he would work with his wife for his family’s livelihood.

No matter how difficult life was, he could never be poorer than his mother when she was helping him read her books.

Besides, even though he was only a ninth rank official, he was still a government official. He still had hope for the future.

He was in a hurry to go home. After copying all of his new books, he would be able to go to Book Shop to trade for money.

In the past two days, the rice in the house ran low again.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly blocked their way.

“You …”

The man was tall and wore a mourning cloth around his waist.

This outfit was almost the same as the ones worn in the Residence of Northern Marquis.

Someone else appeared behind the man.

If it wasn’t Gu La, then who else could it be?

“Master Wen, what a coincidence.”

“Unluckily, young duke, didn’t you intentionally intercept me here?”

Master Wen looked at Gu Xin’s face and spoke a little angrily.

“If Master Wen says it is, then it is.”

Gu Xin seemed to not care at all.

“What is the young duke trying to do?” If you have anything to say, just give me an order. Why are you chasing after me? ”

Master Wen’s expression was stiff, he did not have a good impression of this noble young duke Jin Zun Yu. This was normal, since he had entered the capital, he had heard most of the romantic affairs between this young duke and Prince Rong.

“Master Wen is courteous.”

Gu Xin looked at this man, wanting to see if he was the one guessing. He looked at Gu Wu, who held him by the shoulder and led him into a small alley beside the alley. Although Master Wen resisted with all his might, this resistance was too weak for a expert like Gu Wu to handle.

Gu Yan watched his steps and truly couldn’t tell if he really knew martial arts, but he was sure that he didn’t see wrong. This Master Wen really did give him a very familiar feeling.

“What are you doing? Young duke, although this official’s status is low, I’m still an imperial court official. How can you act so blatantly in broad daylight … ”

“Master Wen — —” Gu Xin’s expression was cold and solemn. His imposing manner made the Master Wen instantly quieten down.

It was only then that he remembered that the young duke was also said to have been on the battlefield, especially now that he held military power.

“Please speak!” Master Wen’s Adam’s apple lightly moved. Although he did not have a good impression of this person,

“That hairpin of yours, I think it looks a little familiar!”

“Things that are similar to each other aren’t rare.”

“Then, Master Wen, can you show me if this is the hairpin that I lost.”

Gu Xin shamelessly went all the way to the end and forcefully said that the item was his.

The Master Wen frowned: “That is my official’s wife’s item. Master Hou has truly seen wrong, but we don’t know.”

Master Wen will take it out and see with his own eyes. There’s no need for us to waste our breath here.

Gu Xin insisted.

Master Wen was full of unwillingness.

The more he refused in this way, the more Gu Xin doubted in his heart.

“Master Wen, may I remind you that I’m very busy.”

He was indeed very busy, and this time he only sneaked out during the funeral, just for a guess.

“You’re threatening me, young duke.”

Master Wen was gentle and refined, with a bookish aura around him.

Gu Yue slightly shrugged, “You’re right, this is a threat.”

This person was gentle and elegant, able to throw it out to the dogs at any time. He looked dignified and majestic, but deep down, he was a rogue from the military camp.

This was the first time he had seen the so called noble dukedom. Thinking about the man’s rumors, he suddenly understood in his heart that this might be the real Gu Heng, that the Young Marquis who was so courteous and willing to do everything in the house of the Marquis was only a facade.

Master Wen leaned his back against the wall as if he had received a huge blow, and looked at Gu La with a complicated expression.

Gu Han gradually felt that something was wrong.

This person looked submissive and wasn’t like the person he knew. Even if he was pretending, he probably wouldn’t be able to disguise himself so well.

That person seemed ordinary, but in reality, he was extremely proud and didn’t know how to act.

Just as Gu Yue was wondering, Master Wen took out an item from his bosom. It was the hairpin from before.

He then sighed helplessly: “Gu Hou, you really know how to make things difficult for people. How can you casually show your wife’s belongings to another man?”

Gu Xin snorted lightly, and without even thinking, he grabbed it and carefully examined it.

The look in his eyes gradually changed. A moment later, the hairpin returned to Master Wen’s hands. Gu Xin lightly said with an apologetic voice, “It’s my fault. This isn’t something that belongs to me.”

This person was not Jiang Ting, and this hairpin was indeed not Mian Niang’s.

Master Wen rolled his eyes and put the item back in his bosom, saying unhappily: “Gu Hou has already seen it clearly, don’t wait for this lowly official to walk out, then get intercepted by you.”

Gu Han was about to speak when he saw a group of people stop in front of Hu Tong’s mouth.

The man on the horse narrowed his eyes and sized up the few people in the alley: “No wonder the young duke isn’t around anymore. So it turns out that my good brother-in-law is just teasing people here, and he really makes natural son look at him in another light. Jiang Ting, if I remember correctly, isn’t the young duke supposed to be in Senior Marquis’s mourning hall right now?”

Half of Jiang Ting’s body appeared from behind the wall, he habitually hugged his sword, his face was calm, and a faint killing intent could be seen.

“Yes.”

Prince Rong’s face stiffened for a moment, but he was already used to his way of doing things. He only laughed coldly at this moment, looked at Gu Xin, and said: “Father has put you, the son-in-law of the east bed, on his mouth these past two days. Gu Xin, if you act like this, won’t you be bringing shame to the old man?”

“The words that Prince Rong has said are definitely not things that Gu Xin wants to hear, and also not things that Gu Xin wants to hear. It’s not like he doesn’t know what kind of person Gu Xin is, why would he feel that Gu Xin has lost face for him just now?”

The meaning behind his words was that he was never a good person and it wasn’t as if the Prince Rong didn’t know about it. This point, wouldn’t change just because he was Prince Rong’s Mansion’s son-in-law.

Xiao Zongxian found himself unable to refute his words for a moment. His gaze landed on Master Wen and said to Gu Xin: “natural son doesn’t care about anything else, since you’ve married little sister, you must take responsibility for her. Don’t let her feel sad.”

Gu Yue only thought it was laughable. “Before Prince Rong said this, have you ever thought of who should understand this logic the most? Isn’t that you? ”

Xiao Zongxian, “…”

“Don’t misunderstand Prince Rong, I, Gu Xin, am not obsessed with the dragon and the sun.”

After he finished speaking, he shot Gu Wu a glance, telling him to let Master Wen leave.

At this time, Master Wen looked at the two legendary Demon Kings in the capital. He was already scared of them fighting and was afraid that it would implicate him.

When he saw Gu Yue let him go, he instantly let out a breath of relief. When he walked out of the alley, he didn’t forget to greet Xiao Zongxian.

Xiao Zongxian coldly sized up everyone from head to toe, his eyes filled with disdain.

He looked at Gu Xin and ridiculed him: “You sure like to interact with people from all walks of life. From ordinary ninth rank farmers and nobles, you really don’t care.”

He said this only to remind Gu Xin about Song Zhixiao.

Gu Yue looked coldly at Xiao Zongxian, and said: “This is all thanks to Your Highness. For your own selfish desires, you can do whatever you want and frame innocent people.”

“This is what you said, Gu Xin. You and I are not good people, so don’t separate us. Speak as if you have never done anything shameful.”

Xiao Zongxian raised his hand and said to Master Wen: “Scram, don’t stand in my way.”

This was the first time in his life that Master Wen had suffered such humiliation. Although he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to say anything.

This caused Xiao Zongxian to look at him blankly from behind: “You ran so fast?”

“Prince Rong is temperamental, if I don’t run faster, wouldn’t I be in trouble?”

Gu Xin leisurely squeezed Xiao Zongxian. The two of them had a grudge against each other, and didn’t even try to disguise themselves in front of each other.

Becoming relatives now was truly ironic.

Xiao Zongxian was unconcerned: “How do you know he didn’t run away so quickly because he was afraid of being robbed?”

He turned around and glanced at Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting immediately understood and quietly followed.
