When it comes to biting people, Censor-in-Chief Yu is so ruthless he could find a bone to pick out, let alone the fact that he personally witnessed the two shaking hands.
It's a pity that Gu Chengyan escaped that day, and he couldn't catch him. If he had caught them in the act, he wouldn't have had to follow Gu Chengyan like this; his old legs are almost broken from exhaustion.
With both parties present, as long as Xie Xiangxiang testifies, Master Yu's year-end performance evaluation is guaranteed.
He rushed out from the corner where he was hiding and asked Gu Chengyan, "Young Master Gu, what are you doing?"
Gu Chengyan was genuinely nervous this time!
"My wife and my cousin have a disagreement, I apologize to Lord Yu," Gu Chengyan said apologetically to Lord Yu.
He immediately said sternly to Guan Yingying, "Cousin, your cousin's wife apologizes to you. Stop making a scene! This is Censor Yu; you mustn't be rude!"
Xie Xiangxiang naturally knew the gravity of the situation and immediately greeted Lord Yu, saying, "Greetings, Lord Yu."
Lord Yu glanced at Xie Xiangxiang and said meaningfully, "What is the young master's wife doing with these people?"
Xie Xiangxiang glanced quickly at Gu Chengyan, who returned a gentle smile.
Xie Xiangxiang immediately said generously, "It's almost New Year's, so the young master and I will buy some new jewelry together."
Lord Yu felt like he'd punched cotton; he looked at her helplessly and could only sneer.
Guan Yingying refused to cooperate with Gu Chengyan. Without saying a word, she flung the curtain and left.
Having no other choice, Aunt Wang picked up Gu Yuebai and quickly followed.
Outside the Boyi Pavilion, Yuanyuan, wearing a large hood, silently gazed at the sky.
In the morning, she asked Xie Zhaozhao for leave to go out and see if the adulterer would scratch her to death after being caught red-handed.
Xie Zhaozhao said calmly, "Don't have high hopes."
"He's too cunning to be caught?"
"The Crown Prince is a very good actor. Even if he is caught red-handed, he can still turn black into white, and the Crown Prince's wife will believe him!"
"No way? Caught red-handed, how can you not believe it?"
"Your second young lady is just too stupid!"
"Then, should we remind her to go to Tianhou Alley in the South City..." Caught in the act, can she really be blind?
"Need not."
This time, she's aiming to win over Gu Chengyan; otherwise, why would she give information to the Censor for nothing?
The Imperial Censor seizes every opportunity to bite, and when he does, he's like a mad dog!
Gu Chengyan was demoted and had his salary reduced at the last Peony Festival. However, Emperor Hui spared him the rank of a low-ranking seventh-grade official because of Gu Shaoyu's influence.
How can someone with such low character be worthy of a certain rank?
Lord Yu will definitely stick to his guns, and Xie Zhaozhao wants to know to what extent Gu Shaoyu will protect his nephew.
Yuanyuan sighed; the second young lady's stupidity was beyond her imagination.
Only superior wisdom and inferior foolishness cannot be moved.
The second young lady is beyond saving!
withdraw!
Gu Chengyan watched Guan Yingying leave, and he almost wanted to run after her, but he couldn't!
A flash of malice crossed his eyes, but it instantly turned into gentleness as he said to Xie Xiangxiang, "If my cousin really doesn't want to give the child to us, we won't raise it. Don't couples without children still live fulfilling lives? Even in their old age, they don't have any stray dogs dragging them away."
After saying that, he immediately felt a headache, no, a headache. Why did he have to say "wild dog"?
He wasn't sure if the elderly couple without offspring would be taken away by stray dogs, but his testicles had been taken away by a stray dog.
Suddenly, I felt the cold wind making the pair of bells jingle again.
Sigh, Egg's sadness!
Xie Xiangxiang no longer harbored any suspicion towards him. This cousin was not only ugly, but also had a bad temper.
What man would choose such a woman as a mistress or concubine? Besides, she even bore him a child. But Prince Gu is a man without testicles; he couldn't possibly have had a child.
Sigh, Egg's sadness!
My husband is right. Even if I were to take a concubine, I would never choose one like this.
If she were truly her husband's mistress, how dare she be so presumptuous?
She must be so domineering because her husband wants to adopt Yuebai.
Gu Chengyan helped Xie Xiangxiang sit down, took a hairpin from the jewelry tray, and put it in her hair. He looked her over and said, "Beautiful!"
The shopkeeper was extremely unhappy when the money for the hairpin was given to him.
After fussing over two VIP rooms and spending half a day there, he only managed to buy the cheapest hairpin.
"Sir, Madam, our shop is very busy, and there are many customers waiting outside. Could you please make way for us?"
If you can't afford it, then get out of the private room.
Seeing his snobbish face, Xie Xiangxiang was displeased and pointed to the items on the tray, saying, "I want this flower crown."
The crown was a gold ingot crown, adorned with many jewels and jade, worth over a thousand taels of silver. Granny Wei took out a silver note and told the shopkeeper to pack it up.
Gu Chengyan accompanied her downstairs, carrying her things.
They very considerately escorted Xie Xiangxiang back to the Marquis's residence.
On the way, Gu Chengyan sat in the carriage, holding her hand, his face filled with shame, and whispered, "Madam, I'm sorry..."
Xie Xiangxiang knew he was ashamed of his inability to bear children, so she took his hand in return and said, "Husband, I'm sorry. I was confused today. I believed the rumors and misunderstood you."
"You apologize on my behalf. This flower crown is quite nice; take it to her as my apology."
Gu Chengyan did not take the things she pushed towards him. He shook his head and said sadly, "We won't go. Since she doesn't want to, we won't force her."
"My lord, it was all my fault today. I will never trust anyone again."
Xie Xiangxiang is now extremely remorseful. Her husband is infertile. How could he have had a child with a mistress?
“Tell your cousin that as long as Yuebai is adopted, we will make him the eldest son, and he will definitely inherit the title in the future.”
