Chapter 362: This is such a huge gossip, is this something I can listen to?
Jin Bao could hardly walk when he saw a stall making clay figurines, and he spoke to Qi Ningan with excited gestures.
Seeing that Jinbao was about to go that way, Qi Ning'an had no choice but to follow her.
"You naughty monkey, watch out for people." Jin Xi couldn't help but laugh and scold as he accompanied Qi Ning'an.
Jin Bao was in the front, and Jin Xi and Qi Ning'an were behind. As soon as they got there, they heard Jin Bao dancing and saying, "Sir, look at our young lady, she is so pretty. You should make a clay figurine for her, one that looks exactly like her."
The clay figurine maker replied with a smile, "Okay, okay."
Several people walked and ate along the way.
After trying everything he had seen and not seen before, Qi Ning'an gradually got used to it from the initial embarrassment. At least his palms didn't sweat anymore and he wasn't extremely nervous anymore.
It was not until he had walked along the entire main street that Qi Ning'an felt a little tired. After all, it was not easy to get tired with Jinbao, such a lively person, with him.
"Miss, there are drinks for sale over there. I'll go buy some for you." We had experienced most of the food and entertainment, except for what we drank.
Jin Xi and Qi Ning'an walked to the corner of the street. "Miss, you must be very tired. Jin Bao is like this, full of energy. She hasn't been out to play for a long time, so she is a little wild. Miss, please don't blame her."
Qi Ning'an smiled as he looked at the clay figurine that had been thrown to Jin Xi. "How could I blame him? I also think it's very interesting. I haven't experienced anything so fun since I left the palace."
In fact, Qi Ning'an wanted to say that he had never played so indulgently since he traveled through time.
Recently, the Marquis has been staying in the restaurant every day. Apart from supervising the work, he eats and drinks in the restaurant.
Jealous Qi Ningliang, who was about to go to court, would gulp down several pots of water every time he came to the restaurant, as if he wanted to make up for the water he had not drunk during the day.
While Jinbao hasn't come back yet, Qi Ning'an thought about finding a chair to sit down. She was indeed very tired from walking. For someone like her who would rather sit than stand, today's activity level was already enough.
After taking two steps inside, I heard a fierce quarrel.
"Yan Yu, are you really going to be so cruel?"
Qi Ning'an and Jin Xi paused for a moment, and both turned around and were about to leave, but they felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.
"Sir, you are the prince of the Marquis's Mansion. And I am the daughter of a guilty minister. What can I do? I have tried my best, but I am getting older. If I stay at home, I will become an old maid. Mother has kept me alive until I am 20 years old. If this continues, I will either be sold off or married to someone else as a concubine. Please, Sir, don't let your bright future be ruined because of me."
The woman's voice was hesitant and she seemed to be crying.
"Yan Yu, your father was wrongly accused. I have found evidence. Wait for me for a while. I will definitely bring this matter to the emperor. Moreover... even if I cannot overturn this case, my brother can still be the crown prince. The crown prince of the marquis's mansion does not have to be mine."
Qi Ning'an's eyes widened. She had recognized that this was Gu Qingpei's voice.
what to do? what to do? what to do?
It felt like I heard something I shouldn’t have heard, but I really wanted to continue listening.
"But... I can't, I can't. The emperor won't allow you to marry the daughter of a criminal, and I really don't want to pull you off the altar."
Then there was a noise, it seemed that the girl was trying to run away in a hurry, Gu Qing Pei hurriedly grabbed her.
"Don't leave. If you say that, I won't let you go. Don't even think about escaping. I'll take you back to the Marquis' Mansion today to confront you."
Talking, talking...
Gu Qingpei was shocked when he saw Qi Ningan who was about to leave with a shocked look on his face.
Qi Ning'an's first reaction was to turn around and leave, but Gu Qingpei stopped her, "Miss Qi, can you please help me?"
Qi Ningan? Big brother!!! In this situation, shouldn’t you blame me for eavesdropping? Why did you ask me for help?! How can I help? ... Help you kidnap a little girl on the street?
"Miss Qi, please, do me a favor." Seeing that Qi Ning'an was about to leave, Gu Qingpei shouted again.
Qi Ning'an could only turn around; pretending not to hear seemed to be useless.
"How can I help? ..."
Qi Ning'an looked at the young lady who was already crying, and actually felt that the girl was so pitiful.
He looks hesitant, as if the world owes him something huge. Although he is not as beautiful as Lin Daiyu, he still has a similar sense of brokenness.
"Help me. You have a carriage, right? Help me take her back to the mansion. I didn't bring a carriage with me. It's inconvenient. If someone sees me blatantly taking her with me on the road, they will want to take her to the mansion, which is not good for her reputation."
Gu Qing Pei was very serious and seemed to have made up his mind.
Qi Ning'an: Why on earth did I turn into this alley tonight? Why on earth did I gossip and eavesdrop?! Is this the retribution I deserve?
"Isn't this a bit bad? Mr. Gu, I'll help you take her back???"
If I bring him to the Marquis' Mansion, what if the Marquis and the Princess blame me for meddling in their affairs?
After all, she is the daughter of a criminal.
What if we were on the road and this girl started crying and making a fuss? It would feel like kidnapping.
After all, she is a beautiful young lady.
"I am sorry for being so rude. Miss Qi has a carriage, right? You don't have to bring it to me. Please bring the carriage here and I will take her back... If my grandparents, mother, and father ask about it, I will just say that I stole your carriage."
Seeing that Gu Qingpei, who usually looked like a modest gentleman, had lost all his rationality at this moment, every word he said had a kind of beauty that seemed to have lost his reason and brains.
Qi Ning'an couldn't help but say, "I was abrupt just now. I accidentally overheard your conversation. But... Mr. Gu, if you take this young lady to the Marquis' Mansion now, it will be so rash that it will cause dissatisfaction from the Marquis and the Princess. At that time, it will be more difficult for you to get married."
The young lady was crying breathlessly, Gu Qing Pei hugged her, "I can't care about this anymore, she has wanted to throw me away several times, I don't want to miss her."
As he said this, Gu Qing Pei looked at Qi Ning'an with firm eyes and asked again.
Qi Ning'an was helpless. He had tried every means to persuade him. If something could not be forced, he would just let it go.
"Miss, Miss, I finally bought it! There are so many people in that small shop. It seems that everyone is tired of shopping. But he really has a business mind! Put it here. Everyone who has been around wants to buy something to drink. Isn't it obvious that they are buying from his shop? ... Miss..."
Jinbao came back jumping and skipping, looked at the scene in front of him, and was stunned.
