Chapter 74 Chapter 74 "I can wait."
==Chapter 74==
Gu Yushi’s brows were furrowed.
Feng Wenzhou remained silent. It was obvious that these two people had a secret that he didn't know.
Feng Wenyu was choked by his decisive tone. He took a deep breath and said angrily:
"I mean it."
She said, "Before, I took him to Qingning Temple to meet that girl."
Shen Jingchen had no way to redeem himself. She didn't think it was a good thing at first because it would delay the other girl's family. But the girl begged her desperately, and she saw Shen Jingchen's depressed look, so she finally covered for the two of them.
After all, Jiaofangsi was not a good place, and it would be bad for an unmarried girl's reputation if she often went there. After much deliberation, she chose Qingning Temple in the suburbs as the location.
Taking Feng Wenzhou's presence into consideration, Feng Wenyu's explanation was vague.
Gu Yushi heard something from these words and suddenly raised his head: "So, you took him to Qingning Temple to meet someone else?"
Feng Wenyu felt that he had missed the point and replied gloomily:
"What else?"
Gu Yushi looked at her intently, his eyes dark and difficult for her to understand. She felt a little confused and uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me?"
Gu Yushi said after a long time:
"……No."
His voice was so muffled that Feng Wenyu even looked at him sideways.
Feng Wenzhou knew nothing, but that didn't stop him from understanding the scene in front of him. It was obvious that there was a misunderstanding between the two.
This misunderstanding was also one of the reasons why the two broke off their engagement.
"He lied to you."
Gu Yushi made a conclusion.
Feng Wenyu was at a loss for words, feeling suffocated and uncomfortable: "You're just sure he likes me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't notice that her second brother glanced at her subtly.
When Gu Yushi saw it, he felt even more upset.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the truth, yet she was the only one who hadn't noticed it. He'd thought it was absurd before, so how could she not have noticed? Now he realized that someone had deliberately concealed the truth, even using others as a shield.
Feng Wenyu frowned: "They are sincere and affectionate. Shen Jingchen's concern for her cannot be fake."
That's why she believed it without a doubt.
Gu Yushi frowned: "That's even more impossible."
"As you said, they are in love with each other. What about you?"
Feng Wenyu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Gu Yushi looked at her with dull eyes. Shen Jingchen's feelings for her were definitely not innocent. People in love would only be more sensitive to this.
If such a person really existed, how could he not care about her existence at all?
Feng Wenyu was a little slow to realize what he was hinting at.
Feng Wenyu felt that he was smuggling something illicit.
Gu Yushi said with certainty: "It's a trick."
"Only if you believe he has someone he loves will you feel more comfortable approaching him. Otherwise, once you know he's attracted to you, you'll inevitably distance yourself from him."
Feng Wenyu held it in for a moment, but couldn't help it: "Don't you think now that I knew he liked me, but I deliberately let him go?"
Gu Yushi lost his voice for a long time. He had indeed thought so, so he once blamed her.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:
"sorry."
Feng Wenzhou didn't even bother to look at Gu Yushi's expression. He rolled his eyes, truly impatient: "Where's your mind? Up to now, you're only obsessed with love?"
Gu Yushi cares whether A'mei likes Shen Jingchen or not.
But Feng Wenzhou was more concerned about what Shen Jingchen's purpose was in deceiving A-mei. He said coldly:
"It's a sleight of hand, but the purpose is definitely not just to make Ah Mei let down her guard, but to deceive everyone."
Gu Yushi's eyes darkened.
Feng Wenzhou had already asked Feng Wenyu: "Who is she?"
Feng Wenyu's heart was pounding, she pursed her lips and said:
"The adopted daughter of the Lu family."
Lu family.
Feng Wenzhou frowned: "If I remember correctly, that Lord Lu was the chief clerk of the Imperial College."
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College and the chief clerk of the Imperial College.
Feng Wenzhou and Gu Yushi looked at each other and had a plan in mind.
Feng Wenzhou said, "I will investigate this matter."
Feng Rongyu is the Minister of Personnel. The promotion of officials must go through the Ministry of Personnel, so Feng Wenzhou is the most appropriate person to investigate.
******
Ever since that conversation that day, Feng Wenyu has been unusually quiet.
Gu Yushi noticed that something was wrong with her. The sound of horse hooves outside the carriage had become more and more frequent recently. Feng Wenyu turned around gloomily.
Later, when the team was resting, Gu Yushi finally found an opportunity to talk to her alone.
Feng Wenyu was not surprised at all to see someone coming. She sat on a rock and kept throwing rocks into the water. Every move she made revealed her inner frustration.
Gu Yushi stood behind her for a long time, accompanying her quietly.
The surroundings were quiet, even the chirping of birds was rare in the early winter forest. Feng Wenyu sat with her knees hugged, looking at her reflection on the water. Gu Yushi was standing behind her, and from the reflection, the two seemed to be stuck together.
The water rippled, and his gaze remained on her, never shifting at all.
His brows knitted together slightly.
He is worried about her.
Realizing this, Feng Wenyu suddenly felt a little discouraged. She asked:
"Am I stupid?"
Being fooled around.
Her voice was so muffled that it was obvious how depressed she had been feeling these days.
Someone answered her: "Then I am stupid too."
This simple sound made Feng Wenyu angry and amused:
"You're going to argue with me about this?"
Gu Yushi also sat down and looked for the same stone as her. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "If you weren't stupid, how could you let things become like this?"
Feng Wenyu knew what he was talking about, so she turned her head away, not knowing how to answer.
He suddenly turned around to look at her, his eyes filled with a melancholy and darkness that she couldn't understand. He called out to her:
"Ayu."
He asked her, "Am I disappointing you?"
Feng Wenyu's heart trembled violently. She pinched her fingertips, trying to calm herself down.
She was deceived.
Why is he blaming himself again, acting like he is incompetent?
She was inexplicably emotional, feeling a surge of bitterness in her heart: "What are you doing? What does this have to do with you?"
“But I think it’s my fault,” he said.
He is her husband and should protect her instead of standing aside when she is deceived.
Whatever the reason is, it is not an excuse.
If he could have investigated it earlier instead of letting her and Shen Jingchen come into contact with each other with a blind eye, would everything be different?
Gu Yushi condemned himself: "I didn't do it well."
Feng Wenyu's heart was so blocked that she interrupted him:
"You are human."
She looked at him, her eyebrows knitted together: "Why do you have to force yourself to be perfect in everything?"
Gu Yushi remained silent, obviously not listening.
Feng Wenyu was furious. She had clearly been blaming herself before, but now she couldn't remember a single thing. She said in an annoyed voice:
"We were both at fault for what happened back then. So, shouldn't you blame me too?"
Gu Yushi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... did blame you."
Feng Wenyu's words were stuck in his throat and he widened his eyes slightly. Does this guy really dare to admit it?
Feng Wenyu bit his tongue and muttered:
"I don't speak when I should, and I talk too much when I shouldn't."
She picked up the stone she had loosened and threw it into the water, shattering the shadows of the two people, but soon the water waves shook and gradually solidified.
Her reflection and his were glued together again. Feng Wenyu stared at the scene in a daze, pursing her lips imperceptibly.
She picked up another stone, but she missed. Turning around, she saw Gu Yushi taking all the stones aside. She frowned, "What are you doing?"
Gu Yushi pursed his lips, his beautiful features reflected by the lake, looking as if they were painted. He said dully:
"If you're unhappy, just throw me."
He said, "Stop hitting them."
He reached out and handed over a stone. The long joints of his bones wrapped around the stone and then loosened their grip little by little.
His hands are very nice.
She usually liked to play with it, and then they interlocked their fingers.
Her eyes couldn't help but drop for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses. She bit her tongue, "Why are you protecting everything?"
"But I have nothing left."
This reflection is also fleeting.
Feng Wenyu paused, and she whispered, "How could there be nothing left?"
"Look, Ah Ci is still here, and the old lady is still here. Without me, they will all live well. If you can do it all over again, your career will be smoother and more unobstructed."
She said, "It's obvious that you have everything except me."
Maybe this is the right track.
Gu Yushi didn't like hearing this, especially since she was vaguely blaming him for the deaths of Gu Yuci and the old lady. He lowered his voice:
"When life ends, it has nothing to do with you."
He said, "You know perfectly well that a career in government is not what I want."
Feng Wenyu couldn't refute it. He had given up for her once before.
"If I say that I will do my best to help Feng Wenzhou enter the cabinet, will you look back at me again?"
Feng Wenyu looked up in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Gu Yushi was very calm: "I'm not talking nonsense."
In his previous life, Feng Wenzhou was exiled from the capital, and later he entered the cabinet. The Feng family treated him with caution and respect, and therefore chose to wrong Feng Wenyu to a certain extent.
Was this the reason why the two of them ended up having such a serious quarrel?
Gu Yushi felt that there was.
Most of her arrogance came from the Feng family. Later, when he was in power, there was too much mixed in her marriage with him, and she would gradually become unable to control herself.
He trapped her with his love, but what about her?
As for her situation, her husband gradually became indifferent, her family turned a deaf ear to her, and only told her not to be willful. Her confidence and courage were lost bit by bit, which was the main reason why she became quieter later on.
If Feng Wenzhou was in a high position, he would never give up on her, and she would never be isolated and helpless.
Gu Yushi knew his own character very well, and even if he had the chance to do it again, he would not choose to let go.
So, he chose to put the initiative in her hands.
In this way, she would always have the confidence to question him and the right to choose.
Feng Wenyu thought he was crazy. She took a deep breath and said, "In a relationship, if one person sacrifices too much, resentment and injustice will arise."
Gu Yushi was very stubborn. He said calmly, "I don't think this is a sacrifice."
This was his bargaining chip to beg for her mercy again.
Feng Wenyu was stunned, her thoughts were in a mess.
...Wait, that's not right!
Feng Wenyu regained her sanity instantly, and she calmly reminded him, "I'm already engaged."
Gu Yushi felt a little lost and sad.
That's all.
Feng Wenyu has a bottom line. For him, it is both an obstacle and a help.
He raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly, "I can wait."
Feng Wenyu felt that he was not calm at all.
