Chapter 468 People Have Arrived

Gu Shuyan's "Don't worry, I've got this covered" attitude left Ji Wenjin speechless.

What has he done that requires Gu Shuyan to keep it a secret?

"Shu'er, you've misunderstood. Just now, what I did with the Prince Xian was not..."

"Don't worry, Brother Wenjin, I understand." Gu Shuyan nodded and gave Ji Wenjin a reassuring look as she looked at his anxious expression.

She had wondered before why Ji Wenjin hadn't married yet, but today she finally understood. It turned out that the Prince Xian and Ji Wenjin had this kind of relationship. No wonder the Prince Xian was so easy to persuade; it was all because of Brother Wenjin!

"What do you understand?" Ji Wenjin was completely anxious. Although Gu Shuyan's expression wasn't obvious, she had already come to think of herself as that kind of person.

If I were really gay, that would be fine, because my sister could keep it a secret for me. But I'm clearly not gay!

Ji Wenjin was on the verge of tears. Seeing his bitter expression, Gu Shuyan seemed to have thought of something and stepped forward to pat Ji Wenjin on the shoulder.

"Brother Wenjin, you don't need to worry about carrying on the family line. Even if you can't have one, you still have Brother Wenxuan, right? Don't worry, I'll help you with your aunt, so you don't need to worry about her pressuring you to get married again."

After speaking earnestly, Gu Shuyan turned and left with Pearl.

Ji Wenjin was stunned by Gu Shuyan's words. What did she mean by not having to worry about carrying on the family line? She had never worried about that before!

Screaming inwardly, when she turned back, Gu Shuyan had already walked away for who knows how long. Ji Wenjin didn't want to chase her back to the courtyard of Ji's maternal family, so she decided to explain to Gu Shuyan after dinner.

However, to Ji Wenjin's surprise, he didn't have a chance to explain this to Gu Shuyan alone all day, so the impression that he was gay remained in Gu Shuyan's mind.

Back in the study, Ji Wenjin gave Lu Hexuan, who was grinning wickedly, a cold look.

The reason my little cousin misunderstood me was all because of this shameless guy. If it was a bet, it was a bet! Why did he have to take off his clothes when he lost? If he hadn't insisted on pulling, would my little cousin have thought I was gay?

"Judging from your expression, I know that Miss Gu must have misunderstood you." Lu Hexuan said with an air of knowing full well.

"Whose fault is that? You're talking as if you weren't misunderstood."

Ji Wenjin gave Lu Hexuan a disgruntled look and returned to her seat.

Lu Hexuan waved his hand dismissively, "I don't think it's a bad thing. If it can spread my reputation as a homosexual, I'd be happy to relax."

"If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll have someone send you back. If you get entangled with that princess, don't blame me for not being a good brother."

Ji Wenjin's words were threatening, as if he could throw Lu Hexuan out if Lu Hexuan dared to say another word.

"No, no, no, I won't say anything more, okay? I finally found a quiet place, please don't kick me out."

As soon as Ji Wenjin said this, Lu Hexuan immediately put on a begging act, even with a hint of flattery.

"Hmph, then we'll have to see how you perform." Ji Wenjin snorted coldly, his demeanor unconsciously carrying a hint of arrogance, which made him seem more relaxed and natural compared to his usual self.

"Miss, is Young Master Wenjin a homosexual?"

Pearl loved to inquire about these things, and thinking about what the two had just said, she couldn't help but think in that direction.

Gu Shuyan wasn't really sure. A manly man like her older cousin shouldn't be homosexual, by all accounts. Besides, her older cousin was married in her previous life. Could it be that she had misunderstood his preferences?

"I'm not sure either, but just now..." Gu Shuyan paused, recalling the scene of Lu Hexuan pulling at Ji Wenjin's clothes, and she really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Anyway, don't tell your aunt about this yet. She's counting on her two cousins, Wenjin and Wenxuan. If she finds out that Wenjin likes men, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."

Hearing Gu Shuyan's words, the maids all nodded. Their aunt was a good person; they certainly wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

It's a pity that someone as talented as Young Master Wenjin was gay; the world has indeed lost another outstanding man.

Gu Shuyan stayed with Madam Ji at the Ji residence for one night, and returned to the Marquis's residence early the next morning.

Upon returning to the manor, Gu Shuyan was invited to Yunxiang Courtyard.

Looking at the room full of people, Gu Shuyan was taken aback at first, and then stepped forward to greet the old lady.

"Grandmother, what is this?"

Gu Shuyan was somewhat stunned to see a room full of unfamiliar people. The old lady's expression was not good. When Gu Shuyan asked, she turned around and pointed to a woman next to her, saying, "These are all people from He Yin's hometown. Just call them whatever you like for now!"

The old lady didn't even address He Yin as "your second aunt," and after saying that, she sat up straight, looking unapproachable.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shuyan immediately understood the identities of these people. When the He mother and daughter suddenly appeared earlier, she had someone investigate He Yin's situation in her hometown, but the results were somewhat unexpected for Gu Shuyan.

That is, He Yin had married someone in the prefecture. Because her husband's father was implicated in the previous Crown Prince incident and suddenly fell from power, Madam He saw that her husband's family had suddenly fallen into poverty, so she decided to send her daughter back to her parents' home. Later, He Yin was taken to the capital by Madam He.

After learning about this, Gu Shuyan asked Xu Feng to arrange for someone to leak some information to the other side. She didn't expect that the other side would send people so quickly.

Gu Shuyan silently glanced at everyone present. There were three women around fifty years old, two young men in their early twenties, two middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, and the rest appeared to be servants brought by the other party.

Judging from their posture alone, they probably have ill intentions.

Knowing what was going on, Gu Shuyan turned her head slightly to face Gu Yuxin, "Why didn't Second Aunt come over?"

"Grandmother just sent someone to fetch Mother, and she should still be on her way."

Gu Yuxin was stunned after hearing what these people said. They had been slightly disdainful of He Yin's behavior, but they never expected that this woman would actually marry twice.

If this gets out, the Marquis's mansion will lose all face.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Gu Yuxin had just finished answering when He Yin was led in by the old woman.

When He Yin saw the person sitting in the room, she first felt a chill. Then, forcing herself to be cheerful, she stepped forward and greeted the old lady, saying, "Your daughter-in-law greets Mother. May I ask why Mother has summoned your daughter-in-law here?"

He Yin looked completely unaware, but the old lady's sharp eyes swept across her face.

"You may not know why you were called here, but you should at least recognize everyone here!"
