Fu Xiuqi felt a slight pain in his temple.
When did Gu Yufei upgrade?
From a pretentious and reserved young lady to a shameless thug?
Moreover, he had originally intended to use this opportunity to win over Prime Minister Gu, but now it seems that this has gone a bit awry. Prime Minister Gu is second only to the emperor, and he is usually allowed to kneel only before the emperor.
"Minister Gu, please stand up! Let's leave this matter at that." Fu Xiuqi hurriedly helped Minister Gu to his feet. The step Minister Gu had given him was high enough, and if he didn't come down quickly, it would be a bit disrespectful, and it would be even more difficult to win over Minister Gu in the future. Might as well take this opportunity to do him a favor.
"The prince is wise and magnanimous!" Prime Minister Gu stood up and bowed again.
Gu Yufei didn't get up. She was still thinking about the night pearl. Gu Xiang whispered to her, "Why don't you thank Master Fu quickly?"
"Thank you, Prince Fu!"
Fu Xiuqi concealed the disdain for Gu Yufei in his eyes, exchanged a few polite words in a cold tone, and then left the Gu Mansion.
Today was supposed to be a good opportunity to win over Prime Minister Gu, but Gu Yufei had changed her usual ways and didn't even care about her face, causing him to miss this opportunity in vain. Fu Xiuqi felt irritated.
"Master Fu, please stay." Gu Yufei's voice sounded at an inopportune moment.
"Lift the sedan." Fu Xiuqi glanced out the window and waved his right hand forward, indicating to set off with the wind.
"Du Shuting." Gu Yufei quickly caught up and called out a name.
"Stop!" Fu Xiuqi shouted coldly, threw open the curtain with one hand and jumped out of the car.
The girl in front of me smiled innocently, and the loose hair on her forehead looked fluffy in the sunlight, like a defenseless puppy, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were full of cunning.
"How did you know this name?" Fu Xiuqi's voice was as cold as ice, his expression remained the same, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Suifeng, who had followed him for many years, knew that the prince was very angry. He had never heard the prince mention the name Du Shuting.
"I not only know this name, I also know the story between you and her~" Gu Yufei stretched out her tone and spoke softly.
"Oh, why don't you tell me about it." Fu Xiuqi laughed in anger. He raised his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Gu Yufei to get into the sedan chair and "have a good chat."
"The temple west of the city."
Fu Xiuqi's face darkened. How could Gu Yufei know the place where he and Ting'er had become lovers? Even Suifeng, who had been with him for many years, had never known this. To keep it secret, every time he met Ting'er, she would dress as a man.
"Gu Yufei, don't you think the more you play tricks, the more annoying you become? Whatever you're about to do, if you don't want me to hate you even more, stop it immediately. Perhaps I'll consider taking you as my concubine." Fu Xiuqi suppressed her inner disgust and tried to sound conciliatory. Gu Yufei had always cared most about Fu Xiuqi's opinion of her, and her hairstyle, clothing, and everything else were tailored to his preferences. Furthermore, she had publicly declared her love for him, asking him to marry her and be willing to be his concubine.
"I don't think so at all. Besides, who wants to be your concubine? I chased you here just to get the night pearl back." Gu Yufei spread out her right hand, her delicate palm like a kitten's paw.
"Sui Feng. Give the night pearl to Miss Gu." Fu Xiuqi said this and turned to get on the carriage.
Gu Yufei took the night pearl with a smile.
After returning home, Fu Xiuqi was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner.
Late at night, Fu Xiuqi was still awake, a heavy breath building in his chest. "Suifeng, go find the doctor who treated Gu Yufei and investigate what happened after she fell into the water."
