Gu Nian took a deep breath: "Li Muyan, your mother and my mother are like sisters. I don't want them to feel awkward because of what happened between us. So, I choose to give everyone a dignified ending. You get your dignity, and so do I. From now on, we won't have any further contact."
Li Muyan roared, "If it's not Zhou Yuan, then who is it? Niannian, you're so good to me, I'm afraid, I'm afraid someone will take you away. Niannian, don't leave me. After my eighteenth birthday, I'll stay with you every day, and I'll never let anyone else appear in your life again, never let anyone else have a chance! Niannian, please forgive me!"
Gu Nian shook off his hand: "If you want the whole city to know that your friend Li Muyan drugged so many young masters and ladies in your mansion, if you want Aunt Luo to be disappointed in you and feel guilty towards my mother, if you want our two families to become enemies, then go ahead and do it!"
"And one last thing, Li Muyan, the most important things between a man and a woman are trust and communication. You'd better think this through!"
After saying that, Gu Nian left.
Li Muyan chased after her, stopping at the door, watching helplessly as Gu Nian disappeared into the night.
Li Muyan squatted down, holding his head in his hands, feeling distressed. He wanted to say no, he trusted Nian Nian, he just didn't trust others. He didn't, he didn't collude with Zhu Mingsheng. He really didn't know Zhu Mingsheng would actually do that. When he found out, he had no choice but to do it.
...
Gu Nian led her horse toward Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian's residence. She could hear two people following her, but she ignored them.
She stopped at a tavern and turned around: "Xue Qianyu, didn't you say you were going to make me get completely drunk?"
Without saying a word, Xue Qianyu went around into the alley, then climbed over into the backyard of the tavern. A short while later, he came out of the alley carrying several jars of wine.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow: "Do even the sons of wealthy families steal wine?"
Xue Qianyu: "I put the silver on the counter."
Lu Zheng led the two back to his courtyard.
The three of them drank without saying anything, just kept drinking.
After drinking two jars of wine, Gu Nian was drunk again. Looking at Xue Qianyu, she said, "First of all, thank you for bringing me to the prefectural city to settle this matter. Yes, I was afraid, I didn't dare to face it! Second, thank you for the gloves. You gave gloves to us sisters, and I will have my parents return the favor. Third, come a little closer."
Xue Qianyu frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart, and didn't move.
Then Gu Nian grabbed his collar and pulled him closer: "Third, who do you think you are! My father or my mother? You yell at me, curse at me, and carry me onto the horse. I was shaken so badly by the horse that I vomited bile. You like me? Dream on! I don't like fierce and rude men!"
Not content with just saying that, he punched Xue Qianyu right in the eye. With his last bit of strength gone, Xue Qianyu collapsed limply to the ground.
Lu Zheng: "!"
Xue Qianyu pursed his lips, looking at Gu Nian lying on the ground, a drunkard with messy hair. "If I ever talk to you again, I'll change my surname to yours."
He got up to go inside.
Lu Zheng stopped him: "Hey, aren't you going to help him inside?"
Xue Qianyu: "Don't you have hands? Isn't she your sister? She's asking for things between men and women that aren't appropriate."
Lu Zheng: "She just said she didn't want it anymore, and that I belong to Xinxin. If you don't help her in, I'll just let her lie here by herself. Anyway, it's almost dawn, and I'll have Aunt Lian come over when it's light."
After saying that, Lu Zheng went back to his room to sleep.
Xue Qianyu took a few steps, then stopped, and finally carried Gu Nian to the guest room. He couldn't understand himself. This silly girl made him change his clothes three times a day. Why did he care?
