Apart from this incident, Yu Tang couldn't think of anything else that Gu Chang might have come to Lin'an for.
However, why did Gu Chang think of asking Pei Yan about Li Duan?
In my previous life, I had never heard of any relationship between the Pei and Gu families.
Maybe it’s because the Li family and the Gu family were married in the previous life, and compared to the Pei family, the Gu family is closer to the Li family?
Gu Tang looked at Pei Yan.
The curious look was so clear on his face that Pei Yan couldn't ignore it.
He was amused and angry at the same time, and said, "Is there anything wrong with him asking me? Am I not as trustworthy as Li Duan?"
Mainly because you are both successful candidates in two imperial examinations, right?
Scholars only recognize these.
Yu Tang said nothing.
Yu Wen hurriedly asked, "What did the eldest son of the Gu family say when he came?"
Scholars have a high status. If Gu Chang showed his dissatisfaction with Yu Tang, or even pretended to complain about him in front of outsiders, Yu Tang's reputation would probably be ruined.
His worries are not without reason.
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang thought it was unlikely.
In her previous life, Gu Xi's concubines often boasted about their eldest son in front of her, and she just listened. In this life, she has her own judgment. Although she thinks that what Gu Xi's concubines said is definitely biased, judging from Gu Chang's actions in his previous life, he is an ambitious person who wants to leave a name in history. He will value his reputation and will not lose the big picture for the sake of discrediting her and leave the impression of a eloquent person in the world.
Pei Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched.
Although you can't tell, Yu Tang is quite confident in Gu Chaoyang.
She doesn’t know Gu Chaoyang!
Did she ask about Gu Chaoyang?
Doesn't she know that there are far more hypocrites than decent gentlemen in this world?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little subtle and unhappy, so he simply told Yu Tang some of what Gu Chaoyang said: "Gu Chaoyang is very grateful to the Yu family for telling the Gu family about Li Duan's affairs. However, he thinks that Miss Yu's behavior is a little inappropriate - Li Duan certainly has his faults, but a gentleman does not judge others' right and wrong. You guys exposed the matter to the Gu family so openly, and the second elder of the Gu family was so angry that he lay in bed for several days."
Yu Tang's eyes widened.
When did Gu Xi's father care about Gu Xi so much?
In his previous life, Gu Chang had a smooth career and became a high-ranking official, and Second Master Gu only treated Gu Xi out of respect. In this life, Gu Chang has not yet gained power, so how could Second Master Gu become so angry about Gu Xi's marriage that he fell ill in bed?
Did Gu Chang say this to justify his own behavior? Or did he really think that she had gone too far and wanted to destroy her image in Pei Yan's mind? Or did he want to spread the news through Pei Yan?
No matter which the situation was, Yu Tang was a little disappointed with Gu Chang.
Yu Wen, on the other hand, was very nervous after hearing this and asked Pei Yan anxiously, "Did the eldest master of the Gu family really say that?"
Pei Yan glanced at Yu Wen indifferently.
Yu Wen touched his nose angrily.
Pei Yan did not exaggerate what Gu Chang said, and Gu Chang said that just to complain in front of him. Because when Gu Chang talked about Miss Yu, he defended the Yu family.
He thought about it and told Yu Wen and Yu Tang what had happened: "Miss Gu is very dissatisfied with this marriage now, but Second Master Gu felt that since the marriage had already been arranged, cancelling the marriage at this time would not only damage the reputation of the Gu family, but also make it difficult for Miss Gu to get married in the future. However, letting the Li family off like this would be too easy for the Li family. Second Master Gu called Madam Li to scold her. Madam Li was also a person of character, who could bend and stretch. In front of so many people from the Gu family, she "threw through" a As soon as she heard the sound, she knelt down in front of the second old master Gu, and kowtowed to him, her forehead was bleeding. It was not right for the second old master Gu to help her, nor was it right for him to not help her. It was not right to teach her a lesson. Who knew that Miss Gu looked down on the Li family even more after knowing this. This time when Gu Chang came back, she clearly proposed to cancel the engagement. Gu Chang was afraid that Miss Gu had entrusted the wrong person, and was also afraid that Miss Gu would act too impulsively. He happened to think that I was from Lin'an, so he came to ask me. "
He didn't say anything else.
Madam Li hid in Hangzhou, no doubt because she was afraid that the wound on her forehead would be seen by others and she would have to explain it.
Yu Tang had to hold back her laughter, but her black and white eyes were filled with water, shimmering like a lake of mountains and waters, radiant and sparkling.
Pei Yan was stunned.
Yu Tang whispered his thanks: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for your protection, I'm afraid the eldest master of the Gu family wouldn't just blame me for doing something wrong."
Yu Wen felt completely bewildered, and it took him a while to react.
Preface and Postscript Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Yu Tang wanted to thank Pei Yan.
If Pei Yan did not favor the Yu family, given Gu Chang's status and upbringing, how could he have spoken ill of the Yu family?
He didn't think of it, but their Yu Tang thought of it immediately.
Yu Wen and You Rong were honored.
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang deeply.
He thought Miss Yu was quite lively, but he didn't expect her to be so thoughtful and understand what he had not said.
I just don't know if Miss Yu did it by chance this time? Or did he underestimate Miss Yu in the past and didn't realize that she still had a clever heart?
Pei Yan immediately felt very satisfied.
I think Miss Yu is quite smart.
It’s quite straightforward to talk to Miss Yu.
He said bluntly, "But you don't have to worry about this. Although Gu Chaoyang is arrogant and unruly, he is very good at saving face. He only speaks recklessly in front of me. He won't speak easily in front of outsiders. What he said ends with me. I called you here just to remind you a few words. After all, the Gu family is from another place. I will take care of anything that happens. You don't have to pay attention to him."
It turns out that this is the kind of person Gu Chang is in Pei Yan's mind.
Yu Tang was a little surprised.
And in her mind, Pei Yan was not an enthusiastic and proactive person, but this time, he took the initiative to help them.
It can be seen that people still need to visit each other frequently, so that they can develop feelings. Only when they have feelings can they help each other.
Yu Tang was thinking about how to repay Pei Yan.
Yu Wen's hanging heart suddenly settled down.
He asked Pei Yan: "So is this matter over?"
Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan and listened attentively.
Pei Yan always felt that Yu Tang's eyes seemed to be able to speak. The more quietly she looked at him, the more he could sense Yu Tang's emotions, a bit like a child.
He couldn't help but said softly, "Don't worry, I've already told Gu Chang. Even if he has some ideas, he won't cause trouble for Miss Yu for my sake. Besides, he came to Lin'an mainly for Miss Gu's marriage, so there's no need to make trouble. It won't be good for him, and he will make his own judgment."
There was a hint of suppression in his tone.
Yu Wen nodded repeatedly, not knowing how to thank Pei Yanhao.
Yu Tang smiled bitterly inwardly, knowing that he owed Pei Yan another big favor this time.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly told Pei Yan about her encounter with Gu Chang at the gate of the county school.
Pei Yan was a little surprised. He was silent for a moment, then thanked Yu Tang and said, "Both the Gu and Shen families are big families in Hangzhou City. It is only right for him to visit Mr. Shen when he comes to Lin'an City."
