It turned out that Gu Qinghua was jealous of Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is right. Shen Jiaojiao is a pearl in the dust, a fairy in the sky. She is definitely not comparable to a vicious village woman like me."

"As the saying goes, those who keep company with vermilion become red, and those who keep company with ink become black. From now on, please stay away from me, Mr. Gu."

As she said this, she walked past him holding the warm jade.

"Why are you being so sarcastic? I'm talking about you. What does it have to do with Jiaojiao?"

Gu Qinghua frowned, grabbed Shen Ruyi, and his eyes were full of gloom.

He and Shen Ruyi grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. In the past, Shen Ruyi always called him "Qinghua brother", but this was the first time he heard Shen Ruyi call him "Mr. Gu" in a more distant way.

Inexplicably, he felt irritated!

Besides, was this what he just meant?

He was clearly saying that the Ninth Prince looked down on Shen Ruyi and that he was the only one who was a good match for Shen Ruyi!

But Shen Ruyi really didn't understand what he meant.

Shen Ruyi turned around, pulled her arm out of his palm, took a step back and said coldly: "Men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself, Mr. Gu."

Gu Qinghua looked at his empty palm with an unpleasant expression.

He had often said this to Shen Ruyi before.

He and Shen Ruyi grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so they are naturally very close.

Before Shen Jiaojiao came, he also thought that the person he liked was Shen Ruyi. It was normal for them to hold hands and arms, and they would occasionally hug each other.

But unexpectedly, after Shen Jiaojiao came in, he realized that he was wrong!

Shen Jiaojiao is charming and gentle, with a feeling of being dependent and pitiful. He feels distressed at a glance and wants to protect her. However, Shen Ruyi is vicious, petty, and jealous. She is not his type at all.

Later, he was no longer close to Shen Ruyi.

Whenever Shen Ruyi approached him, he would use this to pressure her, "Men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself, Miss Shen!"

However, he didn't expect that one day the situation would turn around and it happened to him. Instead, it was Shen Ruyi who looked impatient with him!

"Do you dislike me?"

Shen Qinghua frowned, and seeing that Shen Ruyi had already walked halfway out, he couldn't help but chase after her, "Don't forget, we still have an engagement!"

“I haven’t forgotten.”

Shen Ruyi paused and turned to look at him.

"Even if you and I are engaged, doesn't that mean we are still not married? You said before that girls should know etiquette and have a sense of shame. I took your words to heart."

She looked at Shen Qinghua's face and raised her lips, asking, "Are you unhappy?"

It looked like he was seeking credit, but it made Shen Qinghua so angry that his heart ached.

"Shen, Ru, Yi!"

He almost called out Shen Ruyi's name with gritted teeth.

However, Shen Ruyi seemed not to notice his expression, and said seriously: "In order to understand propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, I will personally ask the teacher when I go to Guangwen Hall for class next day to see if Master Gu hugging his fiancée's sister is a kind of understanding of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame."

"If so, I must find an opportunity to hug another man so that I can be a good match for you, my future husband."

"you--"

Gu Qinghua was so angry that he trembled, his handsome face flushed, "What do you mean? I hugged Jiaojiao only because she was sick and weak, are you jealous too?"

His voice was loud, but he couldn't help but feel guilty.

What happened between him and Shen Jiaojiao was truly shameful.

But when did Shen Ruyi become like this?

Before, wasn't she just jealous and begging me to leave Shen Jiaojiao and spend more time with her?

How could she say such a thing now?

"Is that so? Then Mr. Gu is really kind-hearted."

Shen Ruyi sneered, ignored him, turned around and walked away.

At this time in his previous life, Gu Qinghua had already secretly decided to spend his life with Shen Jiaojiao, and was just waiting for her to cry and make a scene at the family recognition banquet so that he could use the excuse that she was ignorant of etiquette and had a vicious heart to break off the engagement with her.

She still remembered that just ten days later, at the birthday party of the old lady in the Shangshu Mansion, Gu Qinghua broke off the engagement with her in front of everyone, making her a laughing stock for being abandoned by her fiancé.

This time, she will not give Gu Qinghua such an opportunity again.

She wanted to make Gu Qinghua suffer in silence.

Shen Ruyi clenched Nuanyu tightly and walked quickly into Xifeng Courtyard.

Gu Qinghua stood in the cold wind, staring at Shen Ruyi's back, feeling somewhat exasperated.

"Could she be possessed by a ghost? What's the matter with sex? Wasn't she the one who pestered me in the past?"

"You're crazy to tell me this now!"

The breath was stuck in my chest, unable to go up or down.

Although he likes Shen Jiaojiao more now, isn't it because Shen Ruyi is too vicious and loves to make trouble?

And even if they want to separate, he has to be the first to propose it!

When will it be Shen Ruyi's turn to be disgusted?

The more Gu Qinghua thought about this, the more uncomfortable he felt.

In addition, Rong Yan unexpectedly gave the jade to Shen Ruyi for no apparent reason, which made her feel even more sour in her stomach, as if she had eaten a basket of plums.

Why does she do that?

At this time, Shen Ci finally caught up with him, "Brother Qinghua, why are you running so fast? I saw you two disappear in the blink of an eye!"

As he spoke, he glanced around and asked, "Where's Ruyi?"

"You're still asking her! You don't even know why she turned her face away from me today!" Gu Qinghua was furious. "If she wasn't possessed by a ghost, she would never do such a thing!"

He looked at Shen Ci unwillingly and said, "You know what? She just avoided me and said something about sex not being intimate. Do you believe it?"

"She told you this?" Shen Ci was also stunned. "Didn't she chase you everywhere before?"

"That's right," Gu Qinghua seemed to have found a soulmate, and was extremely angry. "She actually despises me now?"

Shen Ci frowned when he heard this.

After a moment, he said, "Her reaction these past two days has indeed been abnormal. Whether it was giving away the gift we gave her when she apologized to Jiaojiao, or her attitude towards you and me, it's not like her before."

Shen Ci walked forward and stood together with Gu Qinghua, looking in the direction of Xifeng Courtyard and began to ponder.

"It's impossible for a person to change so much. Maybe she is really possessed by a ghost!"

The more Shen Ci thought about it, the more he felt that he had seen the truth.

"How about this, Brother Qinghua," he turned his head and excitedly suggested, "Let's go to the Priest's Hall together and get the High Priest's peach wood sword out, and then try her at night? If she is really possessed by a ghost, then we can only ask the High Priest to come forward."

"OK."

Gu Qinghua nodded.

He originally wanted to go see Shen Jiaojiao, but for a moment he lost the mood. Thinking of Rong Yan, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Tell me, what does the Ninth Prince mean today? Isn't he not interested in women? Why did he give her the jade?"

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Shouldn't the person who has been abandoned by himself be condemned and discarded by everyone in the future?

The right thing to do in the future is to marry a butcher who sells pigs and chickens.

Now that he has the favor of the Ninth Prince, doesn't it seem that he is not worthy of Shen Ruyi?

You can't think about this. The more you think about it, the angrier you get!
