After ten years of hard study, the hard work finally paid off. After seeing the prosperity of Lin'an City in one day, Ji Yunze's face did not show much joy. What lingered in his mind was that gorgeous color.
After the parade, he returned to his new house in the south of the city. Holding the gold hairpin left by Ye Wanshu, he was still recalling the scene of meeting her today. Just as he entered the mansion, he saw the servant Dong Rong hurried out to greet him.
"Sir, the young master of the Rongguo Mansion is here to visit and has been waiting in the guest hall for a long time."
Ji Yunze's handsome sword-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked towards the living room, and saw several figures guarding the door.
He knew very little about the Rongguo Mansion, but he had heard of the twin brothers of the Gu family. Thinking that the girl was also from the Rongguo Mansion, he did not dare to delay and hurried in.
As soon as I walked in, I was met with a pair of deep and piercing eyes.
"Are you the reckless champion?"
Gu Tingchen glanced at him briefly, his eyes full of disdain, and his arrogance almost filled the entire room.
Seeing that the person had bad intentions, Ji Yunze responded calmly, "It is me. I wonder what Young Master Gu wants to bring you here?"
Gu Tingchen stood up slowly. His innate sense of superiority made him look more intimidating when he stood in front of Ji Yunze.
"I'm only here to warn you. Stay away from Wanwan from now on." Gu Tingchen said bluntly without beating around the bush: "The women of my Rongguo Mansion are not something you can covet."
Ji Yunze has always been smart. The girl refused to admit that she was from the Rongguo Mansion, but Young Master Gu deliberately came to threaten her. The meaning of this can be understood with a little thought.
It is obvious that he is just playing a one-sided game.
Combining all the interesting stories he had heard in Lin'an City, Ji Yunze had already guessed the identity of the girl. It turned out that she was the daughter of the Ye family in Tongyang.
Few people in Tongyang knew about her entanglement with the Gu brothers.
"Young Master Gu's words are really ridiculous."
Ji Yunze chuckled, "If I remember correctly, Miss Ye and the Duke of Rong's family have already broken off their engagement. The young master and your brother spent a fortune on a beautiful woman at Chun Man Lou, and it became a legendary story. I'd like to ask if you consulted Miss Ye before doing anything today."
"That's between her and me. It's not your turn to interfere." Gu Tingchen's eyes were stern. "If you dare to pester Wanwan again, I don't mind letting you experience the darkest side of Lin'an City."
Ji Yunze was not afraid at all: "Young Master Gu, do you really think that with the Queen Mother's support, you can cover the sky with one hand in Lin'an City?"
"You might as well give it a try."
Gu Tingchen waved his hand, and several strong men rushed in and surrounded Ji Yunze in an instant.
Dong Rong was startled, his face stiff as he said, "Young Master, my son is the number one scholar chosen by His Majesty. If you are rude and His Majesty hears about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and Gu Tingchen suddenly pulled out a long sword from the guard's hand, and lightly drew it across the boy's lips. In an instant, the sword came up and fell, and a long gash was cut on the corner of the boy's lips, and blood immediately flowed out.
"Noisy."
Gu Tingchen's expression was calm as he slowly sheathed his sword. "Even if it were His Majesty's dog, and it barked uncontrollably, we loyal ministers and generals would have the responsibility to help it, let alone a nameless rat like this."
After saying this, he glanced at Ji Yunze seriously and said, "Since you are a rookie, I will only discipline the servants for you today. If you do it again, it will not be a painful act."
Ji Yunze had never expected that the Gu family could be so arrogant. Seeing the servant covering his mouth in pain, he quickly took a handkerchief to stop the bleeding for the servant while scolding Gu Tingchen who had turned around.
"Young Master Gu, I advise you that as water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes when it is full, it is better to be humble and steady."
"You are not qualified to give me instructions."
Gu Tingchen curled his lips and sneered, feeling that he had just heard a huge joke, and walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
…
Ye Wanshu brought Qin Chulin back to the Duke of Rong's Mansion, where they happened to meet Chunhong and Xingtao, who were standing in front of the mansion gate looking around.
"girl."
Seeing her figure, the two of them rushed forward excitedly, hugged her and began to cry and complain: "We have been waiting for the girl for several days, but she has not come. We are so worried that we sent people to inquire and only then found out that the girl has returned to the Duke's Mansion."
Ye Wanshu looked at the two girls quietly for a moment, and seeing that they burst into tears in an instant, as if they were attending her funeral, she patted their backs in an unpleasant manner.
"I'm fine. There are so many people watching. Why are you crying?"
That day, Chunhong was given five hundred taels of silver notes, and the two of them were given many instructions, and asked to wait at Shituo Posthouse. They suddenly ran back, and their aunt was bound to question them.
Lowering her voice, she asked quietly, "Has your aunt ever seen you two?"
"Yes, I did." Chunhong didn't dare to hide anything and said truthfully, "But the servants didn't say much about the Ji family. It was just that the Duke's wife withheld the letter that Miss Yin sent."
"Miss Yin?"
Ye Wanshu's face turned stern, because Miss Yin was the name of her close friend.
I remember that in my previous life, Chu Yin also wrote me a letter around this time, but after that, she seemed to have lost contact and there was no news from her.
"Caiju, Qiuli, take Chu Lin back to Cuiweitang first."
After Ye Wanshu finished giving the instructions, she gave Qin Chulin some advice, then hurried to her aunt's yard with Chunhong and Xingtao.
Anyway, my aunt is almost recovered from her illness, and her birthday is in two days. It is time to tell her about my decision to leave Lin'an.
