In order to show the deep love between the two, Xiao Qiran had tried to use his inner force.

The existence of inner force was very complicated. In the ancient times, even if she had a way to cultivate her inner force to be pure and strong, she did not have the slightest bit of inner force, so it was almost impossible for her to find any traces of it.

Auntie Zhou borrowed the reputation of her lessons to wait on him throughout the entire day, and at night she would have to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, he took advantage of the day's time to quickly write down the key points. He thought about the few days to split them up and study them one by one. After a while, he wrote a thick stack of manuscripts.

Aunt Zhou took the opportunity to order Chun Ying and Qiu Mei to bring the clothes and accessories to the carriage.

The carriage which the Seventh Prince had used stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion entrance, and in that moment, everyone was discussing about it.

Rumour had it that Gu Mingyan was separated by a tall wall.

When she turned her head around, she found that all kinds of items were already neatly stacked on the table in front of her. On the table, there were two wooden boxes, one big and one small, each containing two hundred taels of silver, as well as two jewelry boxes that were filled to the brim with jewelry.

Gu Mingyan's hands paused for a moment, then walked forward and picked up the silver bills and looked through them one by one.

"What does Your Highness mean by this?"

His Royal Highness knew that Eldest Miss loved money, so he had someone specifically exchange the gold for silver notes. These two boxes are only a part of your money, and most of these silver notes are 50 taels of silver. Below them are some of the books that you used.

Aunt Zhou said with a smile, and nimbly put the clothes into the cupboard for her.

Just as he expected, there was a book at the bottom of that small box.

However, even with these silver notes and these silver taels, he had already accumulated nearly a thousand taels …

Faintly staring blankly, Qiu Mei's voice came from outside the door, "First Miss, the First Madam wants to have a meal with you later, are you going to agree or reject her?"

After the previous lesson, both Qiu Mei and Chun Ying's attitudes had become more respectful, and they were no longer overbearing.

She and Aunt Zhou looked at each other, and just opened their mouths to agree to this matter. They temporarily stored the manuscript and the silver, respectively. The box containing the silver and the books had a simple mechanism lock, so she knew after a few words from Aunt Zhou.

"I didn't expect Eldest Miss to know this too." Aunt Zhou was astonished.

"I understand a bit, but there was an expert who told me before."

Gu Mingyan coughed lightly. She probably only found these things interesting in front of her eyes, then she casually learnt some furs. It was useless in the modern world, but it was useful in the ancient times.

"If Eldest Miss has such a great opportunity, why does she have the name of Bane? It seems like this rumor is not true. "

Aunt Zhou slowed down her speech, smiling as she helped her to hide the manuscript in the various scrolls by her side.

Reading through it without leaving a trace, Gu Mingyan actually didn't know how skilled she was at concealing a manuscript letter.

"There are very few useless people around Your Highness."

After Aunt Zhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts, she said in a low voice: "Your Highness knows Eldest Miss's position in the Palace, thus we have messed up your plans. If in front of the two Ladies of the Madam Liu, I hope Eldest Miss can keep refusing so that we can delay the matter until it comes to an end."

"Why wait until the Mountain and River Diagram came to an end?"

Gu Mingyan was curious. Didn't they say that this plan was to recruit the Madam Liu and Queen?

"To be honest, only you are not willing to agree to this matter. When tomorrow's festivals, I am afraid that the National Duke's Mansion will send someone over to look for Young Miss for you and help you find your granddaughter. In truth, I hope to be able to marry this Seventh Prince's daughter and stabilize my position as her descendant."

Aunt Zhou's voice became a little softer, seeing how Gu Mingyan's eyebrows were knitted tightly, she continued: "Although National Duke's Mansion is a family of the best, but the title of Duke Zhen cannot be inherited, and your mother Bai Feng has three brothers and one sister, all of them doing nothing at all. Even in your generation, your National Duke's Mansion has not produced any capable people, so we can only blame it on you."

At this point, Aunt Zhou looked over worriedly.

When she was young, the Prime Minister and the Duke of Zhenguo had almost treated her as nothing. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo had helped her, it was only for the sake of Bai Fengxian, the daughter of his own daughter.

Now that he had returned and they were fighting, it was indeed chilling.

Gu Mingyan thought about it carefully, and still didn't understand: "Does the National Duke's Mansion have the people and things that Your Highness needs? Otherwise, why would he mention National Duke's Mansion? "

Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said: "The sword that contains the Mountain and River Diagram came from a person's drawing, that person is the adopted sister that Master Xue Zhu had adopted back then, everyone calls her Madam Xu, today she is one of the craftsmen of National Duke's Mansion, her skills are worth a lot of money, she has earned a lot of money for her National Duke's Mansion, the Duke of Zhen has allowed her a life of safety, so as to not let others force her hand because of her talent."

No wonder the National Duke's Mansion was mentioned. So there was still this floor below.

But from Gu Mingyan's point of view, "National Duke's Mansion have saved my mother and I many times when we were in a poverty-stricken state, and they were only trying to stabilize their position and did not form a faction, helping out instead would be beneficial to Your Highness …"

She slowly stood up, recalled the few simple items that the National Duke's Mansion servant had given her, and smiled.

"I have to secretly get closer to this Old Lady Xu. After all, her sworn brother is not that easy to deal with."

When he thought about that old Xue Zhu who did not respect himself, Gu Mingyan had a bitter face.

"Although the National Duke's Mansion family does not have any talent, they are indeed a family of prideful characters. His Highness has the intention to recruit them, but if Eldest Miss is not willing …"

"What's there to be unwilling about? Today, I will pave the way. In the future, I will be the one to benefit from it."

Seeing that she wanted to say something but hesitated, Gu Mingyan thought that the more things he could do in a year, the stronger his Seventh Prince's backing would be.

There was nothing to vent the comforting words of Aunt Zhou.

It seemed that this young miss was not only different in love, but also in love with her family.

Was such a woman really worthy of the current Seventh Prince?

Even though she was filled with doubts, when the Madam Liu arrived with delicious food, Aunt Zhou could only take the prescription away.

Before they left, Madam Liu passed by her and greeted her with a smile.

The Madam Liu brought along fine wine and delicacies as he entered the Han Qing Courtyard and sat down at a table with Gu Mingyan alone.

"You just made a condition, yet today you've lost your bargaining chip. Are you trying to take advantage of me, or are you extremely stupid?"

The door was tightly shut, and the Madam Liu's harsh voice entered his ears.

Being so straightforward, Gu Mingyan laughed in his heart, yet his expression was calm as he looked at her expressionlessly.

"I can't share a man with a servant, can I? Isn't it? "

There was a note of indignation in her voice.
