The next morning, a steward came to report that Gu Boyuan had come to the Weiyuan General's Mansion and specifically asked to see Jiang Luoluo.
After having breakfast, Jiang Luoluo and Dingdang leisurely entered the main hall, where Gu Boyuan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Jiang Luoluo approaching, he hurriedly and warmly greeted her, "Luoluo, you've finally come out to see me."
Jiang Luoluo remained calm, pointed to the stool next to her, and gestured for Gu Boyuan to sit down. She picked up the teacup on the table and gently skimmed off the foam.
In the past, whenever Gu Boyuan came to General Weiyuan's mansion, Jiang Luoluo would personally grind tea leaves and make tea for him. Unfortunately, the wild boar could not eat fine chaff. Jiang Luoluo's eyes were cold and clear. She would not need to do it anymore. That was good.
Jiang Luoluo took a sip, put down her teacup, and said coldly, "What brings General Gu here?"
Gu Boyuan had always been calm and composed when he was with Jiang Luoluo, and he rarely seemed so anxious. He spoke with a hint of sincerity, trying to persuade her to stay, "Luoluo, I know you're still angry. You can take back the house as you please, but I won't take a single penny from you."
Look at Ke Luoluo, which wealthy and powerful family in the capital doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
"I've only made a mistake that any young man in the world would make, and you're being so unreasonable, ruining a perfectly good marriage that was already in my grasp."
Jiang Luoluo lifted her eyelids, her voice as cold as ice, "General Gu, our matter is in the past. I made myself clear enough yesterday."
Gu Boyuan suddenly stood up from his chair, his voice rising several decibels, "Luo Luo, you should think this through. Your master has passed away, and you, a woman who has broken off your engagement, already have a bad reputation in the capital. Who would dare to marry you in the future?"
I can be magnanimous about what happened yesterday and won't hold it against you. Now that you've entered the Gu family, you're in charge of everything in the inner quarters. Shiyu is away from home most of the year and will never compete with you for anything. She will also respect you as her cousin.
Even Shiyu's children will have to call you "Mother" from now on. I've already given you this honor; what more could you ask for?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoluo wished she could jump up from her chair and slap Gu Boyuan twice across the face. "You idiot, go to hell! You've got some nerve!"
Jiang Luoluo shot a sharp glare at him, her words clear and resolute: "General Gu, listen carefully. My feelings for you, Jiang Luoluo, are over, my thoughts of you are gone. From now on, there will be no more ties between us."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to penetrate the entire main hall. Gu Boyuan saw that indifferent expression in Jiang Luoluo's eyes once again. Every action and every word she spoke revealed a distant estrangement from him.
Gu Boyuan felt a chill in his heart. Scenes of Jiang Luoluo and Xie Yizhi getting along well flashed through his mind. Apart from him, Prince Yi was the second man Jiang Luoluo was willing to get close to.
His tone carried a hint of weariness and resentment, "Your heart no longer belongs to me, so who is it now? Prince Yi?"
Jiang Luoluo looked up at Gu Boyuan, her eyes cold, and said in a flat tone, "Our relationship ends here, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
A myriad of emotions flashed through Gu Boyuan's mind, and he said bitterly, "No matter what, I still have to advise you. You've only met Prince Yi a few times. Do you really know him?"
You've witnessed his methods firsthand; even I, a man, am terrified by them, let alone a woman like you who can't even kill a chicken.
Moreover, he has already married a princess in the northern desert. You should be careful and avoid getting involved with him. Now that your master is away and your elder brother is far away, if something happens to you, even I can't save you.”
A hint of sarcasm crept onto Jiang Luoluo's lips. Save her? Gu Boyuan really had the nerve to say such a thing, let alone save her.
Over the years, she has been busy taking care of Gu Boyuan, worrying about his daily life in Yunchuan and his career. She even bought him a courtyard and took care of his family.
But what was the result? They dismissed the whole thing between Gu Boyuan and Yao Shiyu with a simple "it's a mistake that all men make," but think back on all these years.
What did Gu Boyuan do for Jiang Luoluo? Did he put a flower in her hair or give her a pair of earrings? No, he did nothing. Gu Boyuan did nothing for Jiang Luoluo.
I remember once in a jewelry shop, Jiang Luoluo took a fancy to a Jin Dynasty sachet, which Yao Shiyu also liked. Gu Boyuan stood by and sarcastically remarked, "As a female official, it's very convenient for Yao Shiyu to carry a small sachet to carry things when she goes out on business."
Jiang Luoluo, on the other hand, is a good-for-nothing who never leaves her home and is ignorant and incompetent. She has no need for a sachet.
Finally, Yao Shiyu said that she didn't bring any money, and that Gu Boyuan spent fifteen taels of silver to buy the gold-plated sachet for her. Jiang Luoluo was very angry at the time, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Gu Boyuan, for fear that he would say she was jealous.
After all, Yao Shiyu is indeed very talented in medicine. She is the second female doctor in the Great Qi Kingdom and also my cousin. I might as well give it to her; it's just a sachet.
Jiang Luoluo also made up many excuses for herself, saying that she rarely wore sachets, and that she just happened to like them when she came across one.
As they kept giving in, the two ended up getting together. Well, so be it. Let the scumbag and the resentful woman torment each other. Jiang Luoluo wasn't a woman in the book; she was just angry and felt indignant for the real Jiang Luoluo who had died. This kind of scumbag should get as far away as possible.
Reflecting on these past few days, Xie Yizhi, the legendary cold-faced judge and hellish demon, was the one who kicked away the oil when Jiang Luoluo bravely rushed into the sea of fire. He was the one who could see through Jiang Luoluo's feigned strength, and he was the one who could help Jiang Luoluo expose Gu Boyuan and Yao Shiyu's affair at the celebration banquet, just like a child.
