Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Your ears are so pretty, bright red...
Gu Yanzhou stopped and let the flames lick the wooden stick used to roast the rabbit. With a crackling sound, the stick broke and the charred skeleton of the rabbit fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke.
The bamboo tube chicken soup neatly arranged on the side also tilted, and the juice dripped down in a crooked manner.
The firelight gradually dimmed, and amidst the flickering light, the man spoke: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes." The girl's voice, so indifferent and without a trace of emotion, reached his ears, and Gu Yanzhou suddenly smiled.
The laughter was contemptuous, not self-deprecating, but rather had a hint of sarcasm.
In the darkness, the man turned around, his deep eyes fixed on her, and he asked slowly, "Ah Yun, do you really understand your own heart?"
Without waiting for her to reply, he disappeared silently, turned around and called to her, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Song Siyun came back to her senses, and the moment their fingertips touched, she couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
As he stepped on the stirrups, he seemed to remember something and asked again, "Are you not afraid of the dark anymore?"
The man calmly helped her onto the horse, and when he turned over and sat down, he softly replied, "I'm not afraid anymore."
The voice was very soft, scattered among the flying hooves of the horse, and only a few words floated into my ears.
He said, "Ah Yun, when will you take a serious look at me?"
Song Siyun didn't understand what he meant, but he knew that after returning that day, the two of them rarely communicated.
She thought he would leave her alone after their unhappy parting, but she never expected him to come back in the morning to tie her hair and tailor her clothes. He would also organize his soldiers to go hunting and roast meat and cook soup for her.
He is really a very nice person.
Song Siyun thought. Even though her words were so cruel and hurtful to his pride, he still played his role well in the rest of their marriage.
He would treat her as his wife until the eve of this divorce.
I lowered my eyes to look at the steaming hot soup in my hand, and suddenly realized that it was human nature to treat such people.
You treat her as your wife, and I should return her as my husband.
Once I figured it out, I naturally had an appetite. After a bowl of soup, the sky seemed a little brighter.
In the past three years, she has devoted herself to being a good wife, so that her elder brother and sister-in-law can feel at ease, and her parents can also feel at ease.
Song Siyun sat alone by the fire, the cold wind brushing against his limbs, causing him to shiver. He couldn't help but rub his arms and hug his knees tightly.
Suddenly, my back felt heavy.
When I looked up, it turned out to be Gu Yanzhou.
Perhaps because he was tired from traveling, the man's features looked much more mature than before, and even his eyes were dark.
After putting down his cloak, he didn't leave, but stood there motionless.
Song Siyun turned around, gathered her cloak, and continued to admire the moon. She could feel the shadow beside her, and the sharp gaze behind her.
Her light-colored eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she looked over, it seemed as if she was shattering the stars in the sky.
"Gu Yanzhou." She called him.
The man lowered his eyes and saw the girl's eyebrows smiling, which was particularly gentle. "I think I understand."
She looked at him and said, "During these three years, you have treated me like a wife, and I will treat you like a husband, doing what a wife should do. You and I will keep it a secret for three years, and after three years, we will divorce because we have no children, and no one will gossip about it."
"how?"
She had considered every aspect very carefully, even taking into account the rumors outside, but she had ignored him.
"Song Siyun, what am I in your eyes?" Gu Yanzhou chuckled lightly, a little bitterly, "Your nominal husband? A tool to reassure your parents? Or..."
"Just a dispensable object?" The voice was soft, but every word was precious. "Borrow it when you need it, and kick it away when you don't? Ah Yun, you can't do this to me."
"You should know that I am a human being, a living, breathing person with flesh and blood! I am not a toy to be thrown away after playing with it enough. I also have a heart..."
He looked at her and whispered his accusations, but seeing that she was distracted and frightened, he closed his eyes slightly to hide his sorrow.
When I looked up again, I had controlled my emotions and turned away, leaving only the words "Look at yourself first".
Under the moonlight, the man's figure was exceptionally thin, clad in a black robe, drifting in the dark night, rootless and without support, with no comings or goings...
Song Siyun felt that he was angry.
But I don't know where the anger comes from. I didn't get angry when he bullied me in the past, but today, I was willing to cooperate with him and be a good wife, but I got mad at him?
This person is really strange.
Song Siyun shook his head, he really couldn't understand it.
In the following days, although the two were in the same place, they rarely saw each other.
At first, she thought Gu Yanzhou was just being quiet, so she didn't take it seriously. But later on, she realized that he was actually holding his breath!
If it weren't for the occasional cold snort and eye roll when their eyes met, she actually wouldn't have noticed.
With the idea of being a good wife and a sweet talker, she took the initiative to move forward. When she was about to speak, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The voice of Li Wenxu, the Minister of Works, came from outside the carriage: "The Imperial Envoy has finally arrived. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."
Have we reached Yunqu?
Song Siyun was a little surprised, so she stepped aside and lifted a corner of the car curtain. When the familiar scenery came into view, she had to believe it, and for a moment she felt a little sad that time had passed so quickly.
On the other side, Gu Yanzhou had already opened the curtain and got out of the car to greet him.
Through the car curtain, one could tell that the two of them were talking happily, without any trace of the yin and yang atmosphere of today.
Song Siyun curled her lips and cursed inwardly that this man was really good at pretending, and she was still feeling guilty.
Although she thought so, she took small steps to follow the man when he knocked on the door and asked her to get out of the car.
She never forgot that she was not dressed as the wife of a minister, but as a bed-warming maid who was quite pretty but not presentable enough.
Seeing a little boy coming out of the carriage, Li Wenxu, who was walking in front, couldn't help but take a closer look and paused, "This..."
Looking in the direction of his finger, Gu Yanzhou pursed his lips slightly and said in a charming tone, "I picked the Jieyu flower on the road."
Finally, he lowered his voice and warned: "There is a tyrant in the mansion. If he knew, he would definitely make a big fuss. Go to Lord Li and don't keep it a secret for me."
"I understand." Li Wenxu nodded and teased with a smile: "Master Gu is indeed a person who cherishes flowers. I am ashamed to be inferior to him."
“No, no…”
Song Siyun didn't want to listen to the official language that followed. She was very angry now, especially when she saw the man in front of her calling her a "tyrant" without changing his expression, and was afraid that she would destroy the flower. She couldn't hide her anger in her heart. Although she lowered her head, her eyes were staring at the man in front of her who was talking and laughing like fire.
In a trance, Gu Yanzhou felt a chill on his back.
This coolness reached its peak at the welcoming banquet when the exotic dancers threw a shawl to him and gave him seductive glances.
Hiding behind the fluttering shawl, she turned her head back quietly to find the source, but unexpectedly she saw Song Siyun with a gloomy face in the corner.
I couldn't help but feel happy, and the depression that had been pent up in my heart for many days was released.
Looking back slowly, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips while drinking from the cup.
This smile, in the dancer's eyes, meant implicit approval.
Therefore, after the banquet, she left early.
After the banquet, Li Wenxu arranged for several people to stay in the government office.
In the winding corridor, a servant led the way. Song Siyun lowered his head and stepped hard on Gu Yanzhou's shadow, muttering to himself: "I'll kick you to death, you unfaithful man, you treacherous man. I'll kick you, I'll kick you——"
Gu Yanzhou glanced sideways and saw that she had landed in a particularly tricky spot, right between her legs. He quickly pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yunsong is truly cruel. She actually wants to make my husband childless."
The woman in his arms rolled her eyes at him, not in a good mood: "Sir, this servant is helping the ladies and the ladies to get rid of this evil."
She struggled, blinking her eyes to feign pity, her teeth grinding as she forced a forced smile: "When my lord abducted me from the capital, he promised me to be his concubine. Today, I'm flirting with that dancer. Do you want to carry both of us into the house together?"
It turns out that I was angry about this.
Gu Yanzhou thought with amusement, but before he could speak, he heard the person in front of him ask softly:
"If so, who is older between her and me? Do I have to serve the Master together with my wife?"
“!”
How could she say such ridiculous words!
Gu Yanzhou hurriedly tried to cover her mouth, but he was still half a step too late.
He watched helplessly as the guide took a wrong step, and even when he was about to die, he still managed to find time to give him a meaningful look...
"Shut up." Gu Yanzhou couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her while gnashing his teeth.
But the person in his arms was fearless and bit his palm, forcing him to let go and then he was too lazy to smile.
Her fingertips flicked around his ears, her gaze flickering over them vaguely, her crescent-shaped eyes filled with laughter, and a hint of her usual sly defiance, "Your Excellency's ears are so pretty, so bright red."
Finally, she slid her fingertips down his earlobe to his cheek, tapping it lightly. Her eyes clamped on his from bottom to top. Song Siyun spoke softly, her smile still undiminished: "Are you shy, sir?"
She is always like this, without any sense of responsibility or shame.
When she was deliberately teasing, she never cared about the other person's life or death, and when the fun was over, she would kick the person away. Gu Yanzhou really had no way to deal with her. He could only sigh and clench the fingertips on his cheek into his palm, feeling a little helpless: "Stop it."
"Who is your Excellency talking about?"
She looked at him with a smile on her face, not wanting to hide it. She leaned forward a little closer, stood on tiptoe to reach his ear, and asked in a breathy voice, "Is it Jieyu Yunsong or Overlord Song Siyun?"
Before she could get an answer, her feet suddenly felt light, and before she could react, she was lifted up and carried sideways.
Not only was she frightened, even the servant who led the way was frightened and fell to the side.
The man had a fierce look on his face, and his voice was so deep that it seemed to come from beneath the surface. He leaned towards the door he was about to open and asked, "This room?"
The servant nodded against the wall, but before he could give any reminder, he saw the evil spirit kick open the door. The next moment, screams were heard from the room, and then a woman ran out with her face covered.
The servant saw that person and immediately recognized that she was the dancer who had left early today.
After a while, another order came from the room: "Close the door and prepare water."
Ling Feng and Qing Feng exchanged a glance, then opened the door to hold it closed. The servant quickly took over the man who was preparing water.
Inside the room, Song Siyun was leisurely reclining on the small couch, propping up his chin and nodding at him: "Sir, you are so ignorant that you don't even know how to appreciate a beautiful woman coming out of the bath."
Following the direction of her finger and looking at the bathing pool with fluttering gauze curtains, Gu Yanzhou sneered, propped up his arms and moved closer, trapping the person in his arms.
His gaze wandered playfully, sweeping across the girl's fair face before lingering on her neck. One hand, pressed against the girl's outer robe, moved to the loose waistband. The man stared at her intently, then slowly slipped his hand between the ties, saying with a half-smile, "Ah Yun, since you're so regretful, I guess you want to give it a try."
"Do you need your husband's help?"
