Chapter 20
In the evening, Ye Jingyue was too bored to be alone, so she simply slipped out of the house and went out to play on the street.
The prosperous scene of the imperial city was dazzling.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going.
Various merchants and artists performed their talents and sold goods in the streets, attracting the attention of passers-by.
In the central square of the imperial city, an acrobat was performing the stunt of fire-breathing.
He held a torch and spurted flames from his mouth, lighting up the entire square.
The people gathered around and exclaimed.
Ye Jingyue also clapped in the crowd. This lively mood permeated her and she was very happy.
Just when she was very happy, her shoulder was gently patted, and then she heard Gu Jingchen's gentle voice.
"Cousin."
"Cousin!"
Ye Jingyue was still very surprised to see Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen was wearing a crescent-colored robe, handsome and gentle like jade, and his face, as sharp as a knife, frequently attracted the gazes of women.
[My cousin is so handsome, it makes me restless, I want to marry him, I want to marry him, I want to marry him...]
Ye Jingyue's eyes were crooked, her eyebrows were clear, and her eyebrows were full of bright smiles.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Jingchen could hear her inner thoughts and knew that she was a "vain" woman, she would think she was the little sister next door.
Moreover, she was to him...
Gu Jingchen had to find out her thoughts.
Otherwise, he would be stabbed by his aunt.
"Cousin came out by herself,"
Ye Jingyue winked playfully.
"I sneaked out by myself, and my cousin can't go to my mother to complain."
Gu Jingchen chuckled.
"Your aunt is worried about you coming out alone so late. So, I'll have someone send a letter to my aunt to report it, and you can have fun without worry. I'll take you back later."
Ye Jingyue smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, cousin."
Gu Jingchen: "The food in Tianxianglou is good. I have an appointment with your future cousin's wife, you can come too."
Ye Jingyue's eyes lit up.
"Is it okay? Will it bother you?"
Gu Jingchen laughed.
"No, there is another friend of mine, it's not just the two of us."
The implication is that one more person won't make a difference.
Tianxianglou's Tianzi private room.
When Ye Jingyue and Gu Jingchen went in, there was already a woman sitting in the private room.
She was wearing a white dress, her hair was neatly combed back into a simple bun, a few strands of black hair hung down from her ears, gently brushing her fair cheeks, making her face look like a peach blossom and her eyebrows look like distant black ink.
Gu Jingchen said: "Cousin, this is Lin Shishi, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, and also your future cousin-in-law. Shishi, this is my aunt's daughter Ye Jingyue, the cousin who just got back."
Although the matter of the real and fake daughters of the marquis' mansion was kept a strict secret, some rumors leaked out.
Lin Shishi didn't expect to meet the real daughter so soon.
She bowed to Ye Jingyue.
"Sister Yue'er is polite."
Ye Jingyue followed suit and performed the etiquette.
"I'm fine, sister."
Lin Shishi gently took Ye Jingyue's hand and sat down.
"If sister Yue'er feels bored, you can come to the Xiangfu to play with me."
Lin Shishi has a quiet and gentle temperament, a light figure, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which makes people feel friendly and warm.
There are no excessive decorations on her body, only a simple jade pendant hanging around her waist, which makes a crisp sound with her movements. However, it is this simple decoration that makes her temperament more elegant and not clichéd.
Her beauty does not need to be described in words, just quietly appreciate it, and you can feel her charm.
Ye Jingyue has no resistance to such a gentle, beautiful and soft girl.
[Sister is so pretty and gentle! I like her so much!]
[Fortunately, she is not my rival in love. She has no feelings for my cousin. The person she really likes is my cousin's friend of a low-born family.]
[Her engagement with my cousin is a deal. She will marry my cousin as the daughter of a prime minister. They will be a couple who respect each other for two years. Then my cousin will divorce her on the grounds that she has no children. By then, she will be old and a divorced abandoned woman. She can marry her lover of a low-born family.]
[Sister is so brave! In this society that is so harsh on women, she does not care about her reputation and status. She has a heart of true and pure love! The pure love god of war fell to the ground!]
Gu Jingchen drank water tactically.
Well...
Ye Jingyue knew more than he thought.
The deal between him and Lin Shishi was only known to him, Lin Shishi, and Lin Shishi's sweetheart.
He originally wanted to let Ye Jingyue know that he had a fiancée and give up her idea of marrying him.
But she knew it before she even knew it.
So... a little panicked.
At this time, a slender figure walked in.
Zhou Wei was a rough man born in the underworld. He looked quiet and handsome, but had a dandy temperament.
He had a heart to serve the court since he was a child. Later, he met his confidant Gu Jingchen and followed Gu Jingchen to work.
"Brother Gu, Miss Lin."
Then his eyes fell on Ye Jingyue, "Who is this..."
Gu Jingchen was shocked: "This is my cousin Ye Jingyue."
"Hello, Miss Ye."
Ye Jingyue smiled and nodded to him. Nothing could be seen on her face, but her inner world was already roaring.
【Ahhh! Zhou Wei! It's Zhou Wei! Lin Shishi's official match! These two are simply killing me. One is the daughter of the prime minister, and the other is a hero in the martial arts world. The two fell in love at
first sight because of the life-saving grace, and they are secretly in love! The setting of a young lady from a noble family and a gangster in the martial arts world is simply a perfect match!】Ye Jingyue was seeing the official match in the book for the first time, and her eyes were shining with excitement!
【Alas! It's a pity that there is no good result between the two. 】
【Zhou Wei wanted to enter the court to contribute to the country, but he was born in a poor family. So my cousin gave him help and let him participate in the archery competition held every three years, let him win the first place in the archery competition, and then recommend him to enter the court. 】
【As a result, Zhou Wei was framed by someone with ulterior motives in the archery competition and died with thousands of arrows piercing his heart!】
Gu Jingchen's hand trembled, and his eyebrows were deep.
Zhou Wei died of thousands of arrows piercing his heart in the archery competition
How could it
be How could Zhou Wei die when he was there
Ye Jingyue's inner voice sounded again with regret.
[My cousin got into trouble, Zhou Wei died, Lin Shishi was favored by the tyrannical Fifth Prince, the Prime Minister gave her to the Fifth Prince to play with, and finally she couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide!]
[What's more pitiful is that people who don't know the truth say that she died for love for her cousin. In fact, she was forced to death by her father...]
[No one in this pair of lovebirds had a good ending in the end.]

She actually passed over such a key content in one sentence
Gu Jingchen has lived for more than 20 years, and for the first time he felt the heart-wrenching anxiety.
