Chapter 120 Debt Collection
Akabane, who was hiding far away, felt a chill down his spine even from the distance.
He stretched his head to look at the new house. It was pitch dark inside. Donghua and Dongqing were guarding the door, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
On the wedding day, the bride is resting, and the master is standing under the window and getting angry?
Then the people went in, and there was still no light. The master stood motionless at the pearl curtain separating the outer room from the inner room.
What is going on?
Mu Junyan was afraid that Gu Huan would be frightened, so he ordered the guards not to stay at Wenhanxuan tonight and only leave two people to guard the door.
Akabane was puzzled when he suddenly heard a cold wind whistling towards him. Akabane quickly turned his head.
A drop of warm liquid fell on my face. I reached out and touched it. It was sticky. I looked at it in the moonlight.
Blood!
Before he could come to his senses, the second bloody thing flew towards him. Akabane quickly dodged it and it fell right at his feet.
He looked carefully.
Hey, isn’t this the master’s jade ring?
Broken and bloody.
Don’t you understand this?
Let him go.
He quickly retreated ten steps, but didn't dare to really leave. He tried to keep his eyes wide open and stare at the movements in the new house.
In the new house.
Gu Huan cried so hard that she could hardly breathe.
She never expected that the brother Ji she had been thinking about so much was not dead.
Moreover, meeting her again on her wedding day was simply heartbreaking.
She met Ji Xuanyu when they were young and did not understand love.
But he is the only ray of sunshine in Gu Huan's desperate life.
That short period of time was the only time in Gu Huan's previous life when she was filled with laughter.
At that time, she never thought about whether life would be difficult if she followed Brother Ji to escape from the devil's cave.
She just wanted to follow the kind-hearted Brother Ji, so that at least she could live like a human being.
Hearing the crisp sound of the bead curtain swaying, Gu Huan's heart suddenly tightened. She quickly stopped crying and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
But she didn't dare light the candles in the room, for fear that he would see her crying.
Behind a screen and a beaded curtain, a pair of red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns were lit in the main room, and the flames cast the man's slender figure into the room.
Gu Huan was afraid that Mu Junyan would notice something was wrong with her, so she walked out in small steps while taking deep breaths, trying to suppress her sadness.
"Sir, you..."
Gu Huan realized that her voice was hoarse, but she could still hear the crying tone, so she quickly shut up.
Looking through the screen at the man's figure outlined by the flickering light of the red candle, Gu Huan paused.
Mu Junyan noticed the girl approaching, was silent for a long time, and took out a handkerchief to bandage his finger.
He walked around the screen and in. The faint light fell on the girl's body and bare feet, who was only wearing pajamas and pants, and his eyes turned cold.
Is this how she met her childhood sweetheart?
He didn't say anything. He walked to the clothes rack, took out a blouse and put it on her. The warmth of his big palm touched her skin, making Gu Huan feel calm for some reason.
"Are you not afraid of catching a cold?"
His words sounded like normal concern, but his voice was like ice on a freezing winter day.
Gu Huan grabbed her clothes and looked up. Their eyes met and she felt the coldness in his eyes.
“Master…”
Gu Huan wanted to tell him that Ji Xuanyu had just come, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted.
"You forgot what to call me?" His tone was accusing.
The big hand on Gu Huan's shoulder increased its strength, and the scalding heat made her nose sore again.
"Ziyuan...ah."
The world was spinning, and the person was picked up horizontally.
"Don't you know that you are not in good health? There is heavy dew in the autumn night, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Gu Huan's eyes became hot, and before she could say anything, she heard Mu Junyan shouting to the outside world.
"Come in and help Madam change her clothes."
lady?
Gu Huan looked at him in surprise and her heart trembled.
Donghua and Dongqing also heard it, and saw a hint of surprise flash across each other's eyes, and then they both smiled.
She is the only woman the master has, and in the mansion, the master can pamper her however he wants.
Gu Huan was put on the bed, her face flushed. Two maids came in, but she didn't ask what she wanted to ask.
While the two maids were dressing her, Mu Junyan personally selected a gorgeous and solemn scarlet skirt from the closet.
"Wear this."
When she was done packing, Mu Junyan took her hand and asked, "Are you ready?"
Gu Huan knew what he was asking and nodded vigorously.
After her rebirth, she has been waiting for this day.
Gu Huan suddenly realized something was wrong and grabbed his hand: "Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing, just a little scrape."
Mu Junyan held her two small hands in his big palms and whispered briefly about what he was going to do.
Gu Huan opened her mouth in surprise.
It turned out that he considered everything for her so carefully.
"Hua'er, if..."
Mu Junyan's slightly rough fingertips slid across her cheek and hooked her hair behind her ear.
His tone was still cold, but his tone was drawn.
Gu Huan was a little nervous.
"If you can't do what you want tonight, what are your plans?"
Will she leave with Ji Xuanyu as promised?
Gu Huan didn't quite understand what he meant.
He wanted to say that if the recognition failed, or if the Wang family refused to recognize her for the sake of face...
She considered it for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Nine out of ten things in this world are not as you wish. I will choose the path that suits me best."
really.
The most suitable person for her is Ji Xuanyu, a childhood sweetheart of the same age, right?
Mu Junyan closed his eyes and then opened them again.
He took her hand and said calmly, "Let's go."
Xuanyun Hall.
The atmosphere is extremely harmonious.
Wang's face was rarely filled with a confident smile, and she frequently laughed and chatted with her clan members.
It was rare for Gu Yuan to show concern for Wang.
Only Aunt Pei sat at the bottom, feeling nervous and uneasy.
Mu An and Gu Wanru sat side by side like wooden men. Mu An had a cold face and didn't want to say a word to Gu Wanru.
Gu Wanru looked at the Wang family members with a glimmer of hope on her face.
The Wang family of Langya is a prosperous and prestigious family. With them as their backing, the Duke's Mansion will definitely not dare to divorce his wife.
When Gu Huan saw this scene when she was walked in hand in hand by Mu Junyan, she was surprised for a moment.
Those who don’t know would think that the Gu family is harmonious and harmonious.
It was the first time that she met a high-ranking official from the Wang family of Langya in the capital.
At first glance, there was a crowd of people sitting there.
When they saw the two of them come in, they all stood up and saluted.
Gu Huan suddenly felt like laughing for some unknown reason.
This generation is really messed up.
All the officials of Wang Clan of Langya in Bian Jing have arrived. The highest-ranking official among them is Wang Heng, a third-rank Hanlin scholar. He is the eldest son of the current person in power of Wang Clan of Langya and the future head of Wang Clan of Langya.
The Wang family, a family of noblesse oblige that was once the head of one of the four most prestigious families, has gone through three dynasties and dozens of generations. Not only are there many sons and daughters, but also many talented people. For more than three hundred years, the family has maintained a very strict family tradition, and people in the world call it "the family of nobles that never changes."
However, precisely because it was too prosperous, it was bound to arouse jealousy and disgust from other families, and there were constant conflicts of interest within the family.
The prosperous family business earned by the ancestors led to the descendants gradually indulging in pleasure and living a luxurious life, which also ruined the family style and reputation outside.
In addition, in the previous dynasty, the Wang family’s rulers stood on the wrong side and participated in the battle for imperial power. After the prince they supported was defeated, the various noble families took the opportunity to attack them.
Eventually, the dam collapsed.
After the victorious new emperor ascended the throne, he did not kill all of the Wang family members because they had many disciples and a high reputation. However, the highest position that the Wang family in power retained was only the Hanlin Bachelor, which was a sinecure and had no real power.
The predecessors were defeated, the successors were incompetent, and gradually declined.
The Wang family hoped to revive the family through marriage.
At this moment, Wang tried hard to maintain her reputation, and was careful in her words and actions, not daring to offend the powerful parties.
The reason they could come today was certainly not because Gu Huan, a commoner, was marrying as a concubine.
But they can finally get close to the most powerful person in the world, Duke Yong.
Mu Junyan and Gu Huan returned the gift.
"Please stay late at night. There is something very important that I need to tell you."
Mu Junyan didn't follow up and went straight to the point.
Gu Huan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she looked up at the tall man standing beside her.
She was protected by him so much.
