Chapter 189: Jealousy

After Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi left, Shen Hechuan asked Gu Jinxi beside him.

"Do you know that person just now?"

Gu Jinxi nodded.

"I know him. That's Uncle Wenxi, my mother's former shopkeeper. He was very kind to her."

Chen Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first half of the sentence, but his heart began to lift again when he heard the last sentence.

It's so abominable.

Why are there so many hateful men around Gu Jingchun?

It’s so annoying that one keeps coming after I drive him away.

Fortunately, Gu Jingchun didn't stay with Ye Wenxi for long, and the two of them soon came out of the restaurant.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hechuan immediately walked over to Gu Jingchun, showing off his status as the "first wife" all the time.

Seeing this, Ye Wenxi said no more, bowed and was about to leave.

However, before turning around, his eyes suddenly fell on Gu Jingchun's wrist, and he left a light sentence.

"The bracelet suits you very well. It suits you very well."

After saying this, his handsome and elegant figure disappeared into the crowd.

But Shen Hechuan's face changed color in an instant.

He stared at Gu Jingchun.

"Did he give this bracelet to me?"

Gu Jingchun: ...

She cursed Ye Wenxi eight hundred times in her heart with gritted teeth before she began to explain.

"He bought it, but I exchanged it with him. It wasn't a gift."

These words did not make Shen Hechuan's expression look any better. Gu Jingchun just felt tired. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Luo Ziqian hurriedly running over with Princess Rongyang.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen people holding long swords.

"Your Highness..."

"Brother Crown Prince..."

"Help……"

The two of them quickly rushed behind Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan, demonstrating the meaning of "cowardice" to the fullest.

Of course, they were also followed by servants, and there were secret guards following them in the dark. As long as she gave the order, these people would be captured immediately.

However, they still prefer Shen Hechuan to do it.

Because only in this way can Wang Younian be completely defeated.

So, the two of them hid behind Shen Hechuan and started making various accusations.

“Brother Crown Prince, they are all from Prime Minister Wang’s residence.

Because I was with Brother Ziqian, they said I was blocking Prime Minister Wang's legitimate daughter from marrying Brother Ziqian, and they wanted to arrest me and sell me to a brothel."

After Princess Rongyang finished speaking, the people from Prime Minister Wang's residence immediately said:

"We are from Prime Minister Wang's residence. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Our swords have no eyes."

Shen Hechuan sneered when he heard this.

"Prime Minister Wang?"

"I don't know what kind of ability he has to send my sister to a brothel."

"Do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless people came out and knocked everyone to the ground in a few seconds.

"Send these people back to Prime Minister Wang, and ask him where to send Princess Rongyang?"

Wang Younian, who had hurriedly chased after him, was originally full of pride, but after seeing Chen Hechuan, his face immediately changed color.

Looking at the woman behind Chen Hechuan, she also guessed that she might be Princess Rongyang.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately knelt down, ready to beg for mercy.

However, Chen Hechuan ignored her and turned away.

Because of this episode, their interest was disturbed, so they simply returned to the palace.

However, before entering the palace, Shen Hechuan looked at the rabbit lantern in Gu Jingchun's hand, snatched it away, and threw it into the corner of the carriage.

Gu Jingchun was still surprised when Chen Hechuan put the puppy lantern that looked very similar to him into her hands.

Looking at Chen Hechuan's awkward look, she couldn't help but chuckle.

When Princess Rongyang saw it, she was surprised for a moment.

"Oh, this lamp looks just like the prince!"

Chen Hechuan gave her a cold look, and she immediately shut up obediently, but she couldn't get rid of the smile on her lips no matter what.

The second day.

As soon as Gu Jingchun woke up, he heard that Prime Minister Wang and Wang Younian had knelt at the gate of the East Palace early in the morning to apologize.

It is said that he knelt for several hours, but Shen Hechuan did not see him.

However, the news reached the ears of Emperor Rongcheng and the Empress Dowager, causing them to be furious.

Finally, Prime Minister Wang sent his daughter directly to a farm outside the city and gave Princess Rongyang a lot of good things. Only then was the matter over.

Princess Xingyang got a lot of good things, but she didn't keep them all to herself. She gave a few to Emperor Rongcheng and the Empress Dowager respectively. Finally, she took all the things to Gu Jingchun's room.

Gu Jingchun looked at the box full of things and couldn't resist Princess Rongyang's enthusiasm, so he chose a few items.

However, Princess Rongyang was not satisfied with this. She continued to select several pieces for Gu Jingchun until she gave most of her things to Gu Jingchun, and then she left with satisfaction.

This made Shen Hechuan very pleased. He said frankly that Rong Yang had become much more sensible and specially sent her something that he had always wanted but never given her.

Another day has passed, and the New Year has arrived quietly.

That day, after Chen Hechuan returned from Wanhe Hall, he came to Gu Jingchun's room.

Gu Jingchun was making dumplings with Gu Jinxi, Lan Xin and Xiaoman. When Chen Hechuan arrived, he joined them.

When he was here before, Gu Jingchun also taught him.

At that time, he was clumsy and could never wrap the dumplings properly. Gu Jingchun scolded him for being stupid and taught him step by step.

Later, every New Year, he would clumsily make dumplings by himself, but there was no one around to teach him.

Now, he can wrap one after another skillfully, which makes Gu Jingchun shocked and amazed.

Seeing that he was doing a pretty good job, Gu Jingchun turned into an instructor and stopped wrapping and started directing them to do the work.

Especially Gu Jinxi, who covered her face with flour, making the two of them laugh.

After making the dumplings, several people gathered together and happily had a hearty meal.

Gu Jingchun even put a few copper coins in the dumplings, which would bring good luck for the whole year if eaten.

Because of this, Tianji and Dizhi were always laughed at by Lanxin because they could never eat the dumplings with copper coins.

Chen Hechuan also sent a portion of the dumplings to Jiang Xianhao.

Jiang Xianhao therefore sent a piece of clothing that she had made herself.

Chen Hechuan felt like he had found a treasure. A child who had not been loved by his mother for many years, suddenly felt cared for by his mother. His heart was warmed and he almost cried.

Looking at the smiling faces of Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi again, my whole body softened.

very nice.

He thought.

He finally lived the happy and fulfilling life he had always wanted.

The arrival of Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi brought unprecedented warmth to the usually cold East Palace, and also allowed him to have the happiest New Year.

Looking at Gu Jingchun's gentle smile, he really wanted to ask Gu Jingchun if he could always stay with him in the future.

But he didn't dare.

He didn't even dare to ask her again if she could marry him.
