Gu Yun smiled silently, looked at the Yu Mansion across the river, and said, "Maybe."
"A good man has ambitions to go far and wide, so be open-minded." Liu Ziqi advised, "I'm busy at home, so I'll go back first. You should also leave for Lingnan as soon as possible."
Gu Yun nodded and watched Liu Ziqi leave.
Looking at the red carpet stretching from Wanfu Bridge all the way into Osmanthus Lane, Gu Yun picked up another jar of wine and took a sip in the cool breeze from the roof that carried the fragrance of osmanthus. He suddenly thought of the first time he met Yu Jiao at Yang Yuanchen's house in Qingzhou.
He was very vicious at that time and even assaulted Yu Jiao.
But now thinking back, all he could remember was Yu Jiao's calm and composed look, and how smart and calmly she dealt with him and Liu Ziqi. Although she didn't have the innocence and naivety of other girls at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was smart enough to be unforgettable.
The wine bought today seemed to be mixed with water. The more Gu Yun drank, the more sober he became. He still remembered the heavy snow last winter. He was caned for breaking Qin Guang's leg. Yu Jiao braved the heavy snow to go to Gu's house to see his wounds and bring him medicine. At that time, he was lying on the bed, feeling awkward and embarrassed, happy and at a loss.
He also taught Yu Jiao how to ride a horse. That was probably the closest he had ever been to Yu Jiao in his life.
The scenes of the past came to his mind, and Gu Yun could not help but smile bitterly. He raised the jar of wine from a distance and said to Yu Mansion: "Let's part ways, and when I see you again in the future, you will be Mrs. Yu." He knew that he should put away his thoughts on Yu Jiao. Coveting a married woman would damage Yu Jiao's reputation. He only hoped that she would be happy for the rest of her life and would not regret marrying Yu Qizhe. If so, he, Gu Yun, would have no other thoughts.
After drinking it all in one gulp, Gu Yun smashed the jar of wine. When he stood up and was about to jump down, he suddenly found a person standing in the corner of the attic.
Wei Min had been looking up for a long time, and his neck felt a little sore.
Gu Yun jumped down, stood still and asked Wei Min, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Min smelled the alcohol on his body and said, "Are you unhappy? I'll drink with you."
Gu Yun frowned and looked at her, "Why would you like to drink wine, little girl? Since you have finished attending the Yu family's wedding, you should go back early." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Wandong Lane.
Wei Min followed behind him, step by step, glancing at Gu Yun's cold face, and silently cheering herself up in her heart.
Gu Yun had no intention of paying attention to her. After leaving Wandong Lane, he planned to find his men and leave Beijing together. However, Wei Min was still following him. Gu Yun stopped and turned to look at Wei Min, "Don't follow me, go back to your own home."
"You've had too much to drink. I'll take you home." Wei Min added in a low voice, "It was Young Master Liu who asked me to take you home. He also asked me to tell you that one day late is nothing. I don't know what that means."
Gu Yun was quite troubled. Liu Ziqi was really nosy.
"I'm not drunk enough to need a girl to take me home." Gu Yun thought he had explained everything to Wei Min before, and he probably knew why Wei Min was "pursuing him relentlessly".
"What happened back then was just a piece of cake. You don't have to hold it against your will and think of me as some great hero." Gu Yun said, "I just happened to meet you. Even without me, your father would have found you anyway."
When Wei Min heard him say that, she was delighted at first, but then her eyes turned red. She hastily explained, "So you remember...so you remember what happened back then. I'm not in love with you just because you saved me. I...I just feel that all the boys in the capital are not as good as a finger of yours. I was so young when you saved me back then, how could I understand anything about love?"
The girl was embarrassed by what she was thinking, and was eager to confess. Gu Yun didn't hear it at all. He looked at Wei Min in surprise. Knowing that Wei Min practiced martial arts, Gu Yun said, "There are not many martial arts generals in the capital. You have too little experience. Not to mention those far away, the new champion Yu Qizhe is not inferior to me. And Yu Jiao's elder brother is also very good."
