Chapter 113: Just a Hypocrite
After Gu Yuexuan finished speaking, she pretended to rest. Tu Subo straightened his arms, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
He was disdainful of his father-in-law's plunder and indulgence, but when he thought about it carefully, didn't his deep affection for Gu Yuexuan seem equally cold and heartless to her?
Wait……
The image of a person flashed through Tu Subo's mind. He tried hard to suppress the urge in his heart, but he couldn't help it. He gently turned Gu Yuexuan's shoulders, asked her to face him, and asked in a deep voice, "Xuanxuan."
Gu Yuexuan was somewhat helpless: "What's the matter?"
"You don't want to marry me, is it because you already have someone else in your heart?"
Gu Yuexuan was suddenly confused.
Tu Subo continued to let his imagination run wild: "I happened to see you climbing over the wall that day. Were you going to meet your cousin?"
cousin?
Gu Yuexuan rolled her eyes at him and gritted her teeth, "Where did my cousin come from?"
"It's the cousin who is temporarily staying in your house!" Tu Subo said with certainty.
Gu Yuexuan scratched her cheek.
Tu Subo's expression was anxious and chaotic, like a trapped beast. He blurted out desperately, "As soon as I stepped out of the temple, I hurried to get information. That distant relative named Shen Zigu has been staying at the Gu family for three years. During this time, you and he have developed a special friendship. There are even rumors that he plans to formally propose marriage to the Gu family after the Spring Examination. Could it be you, the one he intends to marry?"
If there wasn't such an unsettling existence like a ghost in the dark night lurking in the middle of it, how could he be so anxious that he even mistook his target for a moment?
Gu Yuexuan wanted to refute firmly, but when the words came to her lips, many vague fragments suddenly emerged in her mind.
Shen Zigu.
This name seems to be heard of.
However.
Her face turned pale as she struggled to free Tu Subo's hand from hers. Her tone revealed an indescribable powerlessness: "That's absolutely not the case. Shut up and go to sleep immediately!"
Tu Subo looked at her deeply for a long time. His eyes flickered as she looked at him, and a look of disappointment appeared on his handsome face. "Xuanxuan, you are lying to me."
Gu Yuexuan couldn't explain herself and could only anxiously declare, "I didn't, I really didn't!"
"Then why can't you look me in the eye?"
"Of course it's because..."
Gu Yuexuan blinked rapidly, trying to hide her inner panic: "Of course it's because I'm tired, that's right!"
Tu Subo seemed both angry and furious. He straightened his back and his face was as gloomy as a demon in the night.
Gu Yuexuan felt like her head was about to explode, and she was in so much pain that she wanted to lose her temper: "What are you doing in the middle of the night? These are all old stories, and the person I told you about before is in a completely different situation now!"
Shen Zigu may have great ambitions for the position of son-in-law of the Gu family, but the Gu family has seven daughters who are waiting to be married, including her.
Shen Zigu treats every unmarried girl with gentleness and consideration. It is obvious that he wants to cast a wide net and screen carefully. Is she blind to fall for such a person?
Gu Yuexuan had a splitting headache, but she still wanted to bite the bullet and explain a few words. At this time, Tu Subo's voice slowly rang out: "He is not a good person."
"What?"
"I mean, Shen Zigu is definitely not a good person."
Tu Subo leaned closer to Gu Yuexuan as she stared at him in astonishment. He then said solemnly, "A person living in someone else's mansion should understand the difference between men and women and should take the initiative to keep a distance from the girls there to avoid damaging their reputations and causing unnecessary gossip."
"However, he did not do so."
Instead, Shen Zigu treated every girl with great attentiveness, sending them delicious food today and warmth tomorrow. He appeared in front of them every now and then under the guise of being cousins, which was really jaw-dropping.
Tu Subo pondered for a long time, and finally made a conclusion in a deep voice: "This person has ulterior motives and bad intentions."
"Xuanxuan, this person has bad intentions."
Don't be fooled by his disguise!
Gu Yuexuan hadn't expected him to analyze it so seriously. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded in understanding: "I understand, that's why I ignored him."
Tu Subo's expression seemed slightly relieved by her recognition, and he continued to analyze her relentlessly: "And think about it, when you were in danger and trouble, he just watched coldly, which was a stark contrast to his previous tenderness and consideration. How can such a person be sincere?"
"He's just being hypocritical, two-faced. He looks like a gentleman, but he's actually a filthy person!"
In other words, Shen Zigu, who was gentle and refined in the original owner's memory, was actually just a hypocritical gentleman.
Tu Subo asserted so.
Gu Yuexuan was no longer sleepy because of his pestering. She asked in a somewhat joking tone, "What about you?"
"Are you a good person?"
Tu Subo didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to him. He paused for a moment, then revealed an innocent expression and said sincerely, "As for me, I'm certainly not a good person..."
"What kind of good man would keep staring at another family's beautiful woman?"
His fingertips curled gently, playing with Gu Yuexuan's long hair scattered on the pillow, feeling the softness of the hair, and laughed softly, his words revealing an indescribable strength and unbridled malice.
"When my grandfather beat me until I couldn't get up, I had only one thought in my mind: if I hesitated for a moment and let that Shen scheme succeed, I would kidnap her in the street."
"Even if you will hate me for this, even if I will be cursed countless times, I will take you home."
Under Gu Yuexuan's astonished gaze, he relaxed the strength that supported his body, gently leaned against her through the quilt, and said proudly: "If the surname Chen is a hypocrite who is two-faced, then I may be the most arrogant and unreasonable bastard you have ever seen."
"Xuanxuan, I'm really not a good person."
If one had to say that he had any advantage over Mr. Shen, it would probably be that he dared to face the evil in his heart.
In other words, this prince considers himself a bastard and declares with confidence that he is a naughty person, but he is determined not to be pretentious!
"Bo'er, what on earth are you cooking so early in the morning?"
After the smoke cleared, Tu Subo's helpless face was revealed, and the words he spoke were also filled with deep helplessness.
"Xuanxuan said the hair on the pig's head wasn't shaved clean, so she asked me to smoke it over charcoal."
The process of burning pig hair is not complicated, but in front of these hideous and unremarkable pig heads, he really finds it difficult to find their uniqueness.
Xi Lanfang also fell into deep thought.
She hesitated and said, "There's enough meat here, why do we need these pig heads? Can this thing really be eaten?"
"sure."
Gu Yuexuan walked briskly over, carrying a small stone mortar. She explained with a smile, "Wait until the hair has completely fallen off the pig, then carefully shave the meat off. Then, simmer it in a pot of fragrant brine tonight and it becomes a delicious dish. Compared to other parts of the pig, the pig's head is just as delicious."
