At the same time, in the most luxurious wing of Yujing Tower.
The maid was helping Gu Yanran change her clothes. At this moment, a flustered maid suddenly walked in from outside the door. When she saw Gu Yanran in the mirror, she couldn't help but hold her breath.
I saw the beauty in the mirror, wearing red clothes, with black hair, and a slender and graceful figure. Her eyes were brighter than the moon in the sky, and her skin was smoother and whiter than the finest satin.
The maid was silent for a moment, staring at the scene in a daze.
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? What's going on up ahead?"
The maid who was changing clothes saw the little maid standing there and snorted.
The little maid was startled at once, came to her senses, and hurriedly bowed.
"Oh no, fairy. Young Master Li has arrived, bringing with him a bunch of betrothal gifts. He said he wants to... take you as his concubine..."
The maid who was changing clothes, named Hong'er, slammed the comb in her hand on the dressing table when she heard this, and raised her eyebrows: "What an ignorant Li family! With those vulgar things, are you worthy of defiling the eyes of the fairy?"
Hong'er has been with Gu Yanran for two months and is used to seeing all kinds of men getting close to Gu Yanran.
At the beginning, she was just an inconspicuous maid in this building. Because she was smart and tactful, she was chosen by Gu Yanran to be her personal maid.
At the beginning, people like the Young Master of the Li Family and the Young Marquis Chen were like people from heaven to her, and even just looking at them was a blessing.
But now, she doesn't think so.
My daughter is the most beautiful and purest girl in the world. There is no man in this world who can be worthy of her.
"No matter how much gold and silver you have, how can it be as valuable as a strand of fairy hair?"
Hong'er complained in dissatisfaction, but her hands did not stop moving, inserting a golden phoenix hairpin into Gu Yanran's cloud-like bun.
"If you ask me, among all the young men in the capital, no one is worthy of our fairy..."
She turned to look at Gu Yanran, "Fairy, do you want me to find someone to notify Young Marquis Chen?"
Young Marquis Chen's status is not low either. If he is willing to come forward to help, perhaps he can make the young master of the Li family give up this ridiculous idea.
"alright."
Gu Yanran raised her white wrist slightly and smiled, and a captivating smile was immediately reflected in the bronze mirror.
"Such noise makes it seem like my Yujing Tower has lost its rules."
Hong'er immediately fell silent and took two steps back respectfully.
Gu Yanran stood up slowly, her red pomegranate skirt dragging on the ground, and her fragrance wafted in the air with every step she took.
She lifted the beaded curtain with her bare hands and glanced casually at the noisy crowd downstairs through the window.
"Tell Mr. Li to wait a moment. I'll be there soon."
"But fairy, Mr. Li..."
"What's the hurry?" Gu Yanran picked up the jade flute on the shelf beside her and played with it in her hands. "Today is a good day to let those self-righteous young masters know what... the difference between heaven and earth is."
——
In the lobby, the noise downstairs was still going on, and Li Linyuan was tapping the table with his fan impatiently.
At this moment, there was a clear sound of rings from the stairs, followed by a faint fragrance, and everyone's breathing paused.
Gu Yanran was seen wearing a plain white gauze dress with a green jade hairpin in her hair. She walked with light lotus steps, like a banished immortal descending to earth.
This scene instantly made the place quiet.
She had a smile on her lips and her eyes were sparkling.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for your kindness and for taking the trouble to come here in person and prepare so many valuable betrothal gifts. I am truly flattered."
Seeing this, Li Linyuan unfolded the fan in his hand and smiled handsomely and coolly.
"That's good to know. Since you understand my intention, quickly pack up and follow me."
"Sir, please be patient." Gu Yanran raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes calm and calm. "Sir, I will remember your kindness today, but I have always sold my art but not my body, and I have never thought of becoming anyone's concubine. I hope you can take back the betrothal gift."
"What did you say?" Li Linyuan's face darkened.
"I'm giving you face, don't be ungrateful!"
"Mr. Li, what you said is not right."
Just then, a clear female voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Song Qingqing walking out from the crowd. She was wearing a silk dress with gold embroidery and walked slowly into the lobby with the dignified and elegant steps of a woman from an aristocratic family.
Her eyes fell on Li Linyuan and her tone was stern.
"Marriage is a matter of mutual affection. Mr. Li has made such a grand proposal. Have you ever asked the fairy about her feelings?"
"Are you relying on your family background to force me to marry you?"
Li Linyuan didn't expect Song Qingqing to suddenly appear here, and his face darkened.
"Song Qingqing, what is this place? Is this a place for a woman like you to come?"
他'唰'的展开折扇，笑得十分欠揍，“本公子诚心求娶，何来强娶一说？”
Song Qingqing retorted: "If you are really sincere, you should treat me with courtesy first, instead of being so aggressive!"
Before Li Linyuan could react, another voice rang out: "Miss Song is absolutely right."
Everyone turned around and saw Young Marquis Chen Zifan walking slowly towards them. He was wearing a gold brocade robe and strode into the hall with a lazy smile, but he had an imposing aura.
"Brother Li, you are not doing this right."
He glanced at Li Linyuan with a half-smile, "If a man really likes a girl, he should pursue her openly. Proposing in such a high-profile manner seems like forcing her to submit, which is a bit ungentlemanly."
Li Linyuan's face turned pale. He had never expected these two people would do anything bad.
