Chapter 34 Chapter 34 So, Lord Gu intends to use...
"How do I ask?" Gu Yanzhou became interested, leaned forward and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The man on the other side seemed surprised that he would yield. The girl poked her chin with her pink fingertips and thought for a long time before she smiled and said, "Name three of my strengths, and I'll tell you."
"That's it?"
Gu Yanzhou smiled slightly and said, "It's too simple."
Deeply pleased by the word "simple" he blurted out, Song Siyun suppressed the uncontrollable corners of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and her face was full of unconcealed smugness: "It's just that I don't bother to embarrass you."
"Okay, tell me now." He sat up straighter, crossed his arms on the table, and stared at the person in front of him.
It's more serious than when I was a kid listening to the teacher's lectures in private school.
The man opposite her suddenly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling for a long time before he raised his head, cleared his throat, and looked her in the eye. "Madam, you are intelligent and clever, yet playful, a unique talent in the capital. Madam, you are as beautiful as a flower, truly a fairy on earth or the moon in heaven. Madam, you are kind-hearted, doing good without expecting anything in return, a true living bodhisattva in this world. Madam, you are resilient and courageous, never giving up in any desperate situation, and you have a deep reverence for life. Madam—"
“Stop, stop, stop!”
The first few sentences sounded okay, but the latter part didn't sound like a compliment. Instead, it sounded like he was scolding her for being reckless and cowardly.
Squinting suspiciously, Song Siyun glanced at him up and down, frowning and asking, "Are you really praising me?"
"Of course. There's more to come. Madam, would you like to hear more?"
He was so sincere, but Song Siyun couldn't see through it. He stared at him with a frown for a long time before waving his hand and telling him everything he knew.
Finally, he expressed his own guess: "I think Master Honglian must be the real culprit behind the murder of Yunqu Patrol Envoy! What do you think? Is this the most crucial and important information?"
She raised her head and squinted her eyes, waiting for praise, but didn't hear what she wanted to hear for a long time. When she lowered her head, she saw the person in front of her leisurely sipping tea, as if he had already noticed it and didn't look surprised at all.
It only took him a moment to react, and he immediately gritted his teeth and looked at Qing Feng beside him: "Didn't I tell you not to tell him?"
"Madam..." Qing Feng knelt down and admitted his fault, but did not explain. Song Siyun figured it out on his own, "Forget it, why should I embarrass you? You are his person. Get up."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the smirking Gu Yanzhou and asked viciously, "Since you already knew this, why did you still treat me like a fool? Do you think it's fun to play tricks on me?"
I don't know what's so funny about this, but I saw the man laughing so hard that he couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand. The emerald green tea fell on the back of his hand, and as he laughed, it trembled and splashed onto the table. A strand of tea even sprayed on Song Siyun's face, a real slap in the face.
She became even angrier, but helpless. She stomped her feet hard, turned around and buried herself in the quilt, too embarrassed to see anyone.
After a long while, the laughter outside finally stopped.
After a while, there were the sounds of footsteps, very brisk, gradually approaching, as if stopping right next to them.
Then I felt the bed sink and someone sat down.
"Are you really angry?" The man's gentle voice with a hidden smile came over her, but she didn't want to pay any attention to it. She snorted heavily and turned away.
But that man was shameless and even pulled off the fig leaf that was covering her body.
"I was wrong." The man held her in his arms, rocking her like a baby in swaddling clothes. "I saw you were in high spirits and didn't want to spoil your fun."
"So, it's my fault?" He pried open a crack from the inside, found the person who was talking, and stared at him through the small hole with bulging eyes.
The man was able to bend and stretch himself. He apologized profusely, insisted that he was at fault, and promised that he would never do it again next time.
Song Siyun's fur was smoothed down a bit. He turned his eyes away and muttered, "It's your fault."
"You just want to see me make a fool of myself! You're twenty-one and married, but why are you still as childish as you were when you were little? Can you grow up a little?"
"Next time, for sure." He continued to smile, pushing further into the small crack. By the time she realized what was happening, she had been stripped out. The stripped quilt gathered around her, forming a circle that trapped her perfectly.
Song Siyun blinked and slowly raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, "Gu Yanzhou, you are too shameless, climbing up the pole."
"I'm still angry."
She turned around, pouted, looked up at the sky, and crossed her arms over her chest with great pride.
Qingfeng had already left when Gu Yanzhou stood up, and now they were alone in the room. Gu Yanzhou didn't hold back, and played with her hair in a playful manner, offering her a favor: "When you return to the capital, can you please ask for an imperial decree for Ah Yun?"
"Really?" Song Siyun's eyes lit up. A lady of imperial decree could enter the palace at will by presenting a letter of invitation. If she had received the imperial decree, wouldn't she be able to see her elder sister whenever she wanted?
This temptation really touched her heart.
In an instant, the situation was reversed.
She kicked the quilt that was in the way, came over eagerly to support his knees, and whispered to him, "Will you really be able to receive an imperial decree after returning to the capital?"
"When has your husband ever lied to you?"
If Song Siyun hadn't said this, he would have believed it. But once this was said, the truthfulness of it became doubtful. He immediately let go of her hand, his tone cold, "Haven't you lied to me enough?"
Thinking of the past, Gu Yanzhou coughed twice with a guilty conscience and assured her: "Whatever you want, you can have it."
"Then I want it!" Without any hesitation, the little girl shoveled over, hugged his legs and shouted anxiously, as if afraid that he would change his mind. She then forcibly pulled his hand, hooked her pinky and shook it, "Let's make a promise and never change it for a hundred years. Whoever lies is a puppy."
"stamp!"
The next moment their thumbs touched, she seemed to have received great joy. She opened her arms and wrapped them around him, hugging him tightly, not even letting go of a corner of his clothes.
She said, "Thank you, Gu Yanzhou."
Gu Yanzhou shrank his body and pushed himself completely into her. He slowly raised his hands to hold her back to prevent her from escaping, buried his head in her neck, greedily and carefully absorbing her breath.
Gradually, my palms began to heat up again, and my heart was clamoring for more, but the time had not yet come...
The man's eyes darkened, he suppressed the roar in his heart, and let go of his hand with difficulty, but his eyes held tightly.
She probably didn't know that once she received the imperial edict, she would never be able to divorce.
Ah Yun...
He watched her let her hair down, put on her slippers and get on the bed, and then...
He looked over with great disdain, "Why are you still here?"
Gu Yanzhou choked.
How should I put it? Anyway, I don't feel like sleeping on the floor tonight.
So he remained silent and brought up other topics, trying to divert her attention. "Did you see the man's appearance clearly in the garden today?"
"I can't see clearly. The rockery is too tightly blocked..."
She seemed a little embarrassed, her arms limp as she burrowed deeper into the quilt. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and said firmly, "But don't worry, I remember that person's voice very well. If I hear it again next time, I will definitely recognize him."
Gu Yanzhou nodded and quietly took off his shoes and socks. Just as he put his hands on the heels, someone bumped into his waist. He froze and turned back slowly.
The man was unconscious and only looked at the ceiling and sighed, "Gu Yanzhou, when are we going back? I miss Qiaoqiao."
"Soon." Gu Yanzhou didn't expose her, but just smiled and responded in a low voice.
The person on the other side was clearly not comforted, and even spoke without any energy. "You've been bluffing me every day. Now there's no evidence at all. What's going on? How fast can we respond?"
"How can there be no evidence?" Gu Yanzhou took off his coat and tugged at the corner of the quilt as he crawled inside. "Isn't the red lotus that Madam found today evidence?"
"How can that be calculated!" After finally getting half of his body in, the person next to him rolled over and he froze again.
She seemed unaware of his subtle intentions and only said with a bitter brow, "Only what Honglian spits out is evidence, but now she's in their hands. We can't snatch her away in front of them, right?"
"Why not?"
Gu Yanzhou quietly slid down, but his eyes remained fixed on her, "Didn't they say to give us another chance?"
As the words fell, he had already crawled into the bed safely. He breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy that he had not been discovered, but when he turned around, he met Song Siyun's gloomy gaze.
"So, Master Gu is planning to use his beauty to trap the man?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, she laughed to herself: "Ha!"
"Lord Gu is truly loyal to his country and the emperor. He even sold his body to get to the bottom of the matter."
"In that case, do I need my wife to return to the capital in advance to take care of the matter of taking a concubine?"
Song Siyun raised his hand sarcastically, his fingertips sliding down from the man's eyebrows to his lips, which were surprisingly cold.
