Chapter 394: Expert Duel (Update 1)



Guo Huan...

Of course it is.

After all, he and the young master were very careful and made sure they did not make the wrong choice of house and that Guo Huan had no chance of escaping through the front or back door.

But the problem is... there is more than one person in the room.

The Wei family was also there! Old Lady Wei, Chu, Li, Chen, Lan, Jiang, and Nanny Li who was serving tea, all looked at him in confusion.

Fusu's foot, which had not yet been retracted after kicking the door, was frozen in mid-air, neither moving nor still.

Lan frowned and said, "Fusu, you are so brave that you dare to kick the door!"

Guo Huan looked confused: "He is——"

Old Lady Wei glared at Fusu and said, "The guards of the mansion."

Fusu used to be a secret guard beside Lady Wei, and was later sent by Lady Wei to protect Wei Ting... Actually, he was keeping an eye on Wei Ting, and gradually became a flagrant guard. Now he is a blatant guard.

Guo Huan looked at Fusu in surprise: "Were you calling me just now?"

"I... that..."

Fusu was speechless, and he stepped out. He quickly moved to Wei Ting's side and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master, what should we do?"

Wei Ting kept his lips still and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Who could have imagined this would happen?

They came to catch the traitor who was in contact with the White Lotus Sect. The person who appeared in this room was the traitor, but now, his whole family was here.

Are they going to arrest his entire family? "Master, are you still going to arrest them?"

"What do you say?"

"I think we should not arrest him... the food in prison is not very good..."

Wei Ting: “…”

Old Lady Wei said in a deep voice: "What are you two whispering about at the door? Now that you are here, come in and sit down!"

Wei Ting walked in calmly: "Grandmother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, and Madam Li."

He greeted them one by one.

Guo Huan was originally sitting next to Old Lady Wei. When he saw Wei Ting coming, he was very polite and gave up his seat to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting naturally sat between him and Old Lady Wei.

Old Lady Wei said coldly: "You are so impetuous. You have corrupted a good person!"

It was clearly Yuchi Xiu who led the group astray, but Wei Ting refused to take the blame.

"Xiao Qi, what happened just now?" asked Mrs. Chu.

Fusu kicked the door and shouted "Guo Huan", which was not only rude but also weird, as if he knew Guo Huan was here.

Wei Ting said calmly, "Oh, I saw my cousin downstairs, so I came up to say hello to him. Fusu was a little too excited, please forgive me."

Guo Huan smiled gently: "It's okay, we are all brothers."

Old Lady Wei glared at Wei Ting: "You little brat are so naughty!"

Wei Ting automatically understood this sentence as - my precious grandson is the most obedient and the most handsome in the world.

"Why are grandma and sisters-in-law here?" he expressed his doubts.

Chu said gently, "We went to pick up Xiyue in the morning, and we ran into Huan'er on the way back home, so we went out to eat together."

Guo Huan smiled and said, "I was originally planning to go to Tianxianglou across the street, but it was full, so I came here. I heard that the food here is also good, and it should suit the appetite of the old lady and the cousins."

Wei Ting glanced at Guo Huan calmly.

Guo Huan continued smiling, without any sign of flaw.

Wei Ting looked away, picked up the teacup on the table and asked, "What does it mean to pick up Xiyue?"

"You went out last night, so you may not know that Xiyue had another attack last night. Thanks to my seventh sister-in-law, otherwise Xiyue would be in danger..." Jiang recounted what happened last night with melancholy, "Xiyue seemed to like staying there very much. Let's wait until Xiyue finishes class and then go pick her up."

Old Lady Wei suddenly looked at Guo Huan and said, "Speaking of this, you were scratched by Xiaobai yesterday. Did you see a doctor?"

Guo Huan smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. I'm fine now."

Wei Ting looked at Guo Huan again.

"Huh? Seventh brother's wife."

Chen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

Her seat was closest to the window. She just heard a familiar voice, opened the window and looked, and it was indeed Su Xiaoxiao.

Jiang came over and looked down: "It's her!"

She waved at Su Xiaoxiao, "Seventh brother's wife!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up: "Fifth sister-in-law?"

Su Xiaoxiao came up and said hello.

Upon learning that she and her classmates from the palace were also out to eat, Old Lady Wei hosted them and set up a table for them in the next room.

After they sat down, Lu Hui said with emotion: "This wing room is not available to ordinary people. Only Old Lady Wei has the face to do so."

Miss Liu smiled and said, "We are all benefiting from Miss Su's help."

"Ms. Su, what are you thinking about?" Lu Ying noticed that Su Xiaoxiao looked thoughtful and couldn't help asking.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, I'm thinking whether to pick out the jewelry first or go for an outing first."

What's going on? The Wei family and Guo Huan are having dinner together?

Wei Ting is also here.

Since they were relatives, it wasn't strange for them to go out for a meal, but she always felt like something was going on.

While she was thinking, she heard Lu Hui speak: "By the way, Miss Zheng, are you engaged to Mr. Guo? Is that why you came out to choose jewelry? You are getting married!"

Zheng Yunrou lowered her head shyly.

"Really?" Miss Liu asked.

Zheng Yunrou nodded shyly.

Miss Li smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Among the four great princes in the capital, Guo Huan is one.

Although Princess Lingxi's recent behavior is somewhat disheartening, Guo Huan is an absolutely good man, and marrying him is what many girls dream of.

"But... I heard that he is unlucky in marriage..." Lu Ying weakly poured a basin of cold water on him.

Lu Hui's face darkened: "How do you talk?"

Lu Ying muttered, "I wasn't wrong...his previous two fiancées both had accidents...people in Beijing are saying that he is unlucky in marriage..."

Zheng Yunrou's face turned slightly pale.

Lu Hui comforted Zheng Yunrou, "Miss Zheng, don't listen to her. She has loved to hear these unfounded things since she was a child. One of them fell into the water accidentally, and the other had smallpox. They were just unlucky. What does it have to do with Master Guo? Master Guo is a rare talent, and you and I are a perfect match. You don't need to worry too much."

The Zheng family is considered a prominent family in the capital, otherwise they would not have been qualified to select the princess's study companion.

But if we talk about the marriage with the Guo family, in fact, the Zheng family is marrying up. When the official media came to propose marriage, Minister Zheng was very surprised.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Yunrou, who was shy and a little nervous. Did she fall into the water accidentally? Smallpox? After dinner, they went to the next door to say goodbye to Wei Laotaijun and others, and then planned to go for an outing.

Zheng Yunrou walked at the end.

When she went downstairs, her purse fell out.

She bent down to pick it up, but accidentally stepped on empty air.

Just as she was about to fall down the stairs, a slender hand reached out and gently supported her arm.

After she stabilized herself, Guo Huan pulled his hand back in time and said politely and gently, "I am sorry for the offense."

Zheng Yunrou looked at the handsome face so close to her, and the gentleness and elegance between his brows. She took a step back, her face flushed, and her heart began to beat like a deer.

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Wei Ting and Fusu were also there.

"What's going on?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Fusu complained: "To be honest, we came here to arrest Guo Huan today, but that guy was very cunning and dragged the Wei family into the water!"
