General Shi Mu can speak the language of Da Zhou. He has visited Da Zhou many times and has learned the language here. So, since he started talking to Cheng Huaijin yesterday, he has been speaking the language of Da Zhou.
No one found this strange; once they confirmed that Gu Yingxue had saved him, they knew that this person had been to the Great Zhou quite often.
Cheng Huaijin smiled at Shi Mu and said, "General Shi, why are you looking at me like that? This is Xue'er's matter. As I said, she has the final say, and I respect her decision."
General Shi Mu said, "I've heard that King Liusha is from the Goddess Kingdom, and Prince Ahai is also from the Goddess Kingdom. Apart from the difference in the status of men and women between the Goddess Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the other customs should be the same, right? Prince Ahai, do you really not mind that unmarried couples give their pre-marital items to other members of the opposite sex?"
Cheng Huaijin calmly said, "What's there to mind? Our Xue'er is kind, so she gives away a lot of things. If I had to mind every single one of them, wouldn't I be too busy? If I were that busy, how would I have time to spend with our Xue'er? Besides, if she likes something, I'll find her something that's completely different; if she doesn't like it, she can just throw it away."
General Shi Mu's face immediately darkened.
Gu Yingxue now understands that Cheng Huaijin, whom Gu Nian and Gu Xin often told her about, is not a taciturn person at heart. This kid talks a lot and knows how to say things that annoy people.
However, she likes Xiao Jin Ge even more this way!
Gu Yingxue smoothed things over, saying, "General Shi Mu, Prince Ahai and his people are a bit direct. If you're unhappy about it, please don't mind! He just came with me because he didn't trust me. Now that we've made things clear, Prince Ahai and I won't bother you any longer, General. We..."
“I’m not upset.” General Shi Mu interrupted Gu Yingxue, then glanced at her and said, “Miss Yingxue, may I speak with Prince Ahai alone for a few minutes?”
Gu Yingxue: "?"
Cheng Huaijin smiled and patted Gu Yingxue's hand: "Xue'er, go downstairs and wait for me! I'll come down after I finish talking to General Shi. I know the owner of this teahouse, so don't be afraid."
Gu Yingxue nodded, stood up and said, "Alright, then you two should talk things out, but don't start fighting! I'll wait for you downstairs!"
Gu Yingxue didn't know what the two of them had to say, but she felt the atmosphere was rather awkward, so going downstairs was a good idea.
She wasn't afraid at all; Bai Er had told her he would bring people with him when she left.
As soon as Gu Yingxue left, General Shi Mu's face darkened completely, while Cheng Huaijin remained calm.
General Shi Mu looked at Cheng Huaijin: "Don't let me find out she's not doing well, otherwise, no matter how far away your Liusha are, I will lead my Jia Cang army to flatten your Liusha and take her away!"
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll never have the chance to go to the quicksand in this lifetime."
"Hmph!" General Shi Mu snorted coldly, and said, "You didn't win against me, you only won her heart. If, if I had taken her away back then, you wouldn't have been in this situation."
Cheng Huaijin pursed his lips: "There are no 'what ifs' in this world. It can only be said that this is God's arrangement, the best arrangement, that she wasn't taken away by you and that I met her. I didn't win against you, I was just favored by God, so that I have such a good girl. God doesn't like you, that's why you can't have the one you love, even if you met her before me."
