He had been drinking heavily for the past few days and hadn't paid much attention to his appearance. With a scruffy beard, no one recognized him as the renowned and ever-victorious general.
Gu Li was stopped outside the Marquis's residence.
Facing the gatekeeper's disdainful gaze, Gu Li shook his head and waited at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.
As evening approached, a magnificent and luxurious carriage slowly drove up.
A sudden bicycle bell caught Gu Li's attention, and he looked up.
He saw the man who had disembarked from the carriage first gently help his beautiful wife, and then, taking advantage of the woman's inattention, he suddenly picked her up and lifted her off the carriage.
He saw the woman's tender, loving gaze as she looked at the man, a gaze both strange and familiar.
Just like before, when I looked at him.
Suddenly being lifted up, Liu Yin glared at Qiao Xuanwen reproachfully, "Why did you scare me?"
Afraid of upsetting her, Qiao Xuanwen repeatedly apologized, "Alright, alright, I promise I won't do it again next time."
He affectionately nuzzled Liuyin's nose before putting her down.
Gu Li, standing to the side, watched their intimate actions and felt her eyes widen in fury, which even sobered her up a bit.
"Ah Yin!"
He rushed forward, trying to reach out and grab Liuyin's hand, but Qiao Xuanwen stopped him.
"Who are you? How dare you address my wife as such?"
Qiao Xuanwen was also a little angry. Looking at the man in front of him who was reeking of alcohol and looked listless, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xuanwen said to Liuyin in a gentle tone, "Were you frightened? Why don't you go back to the manor first?"
"She is my wife, not your wife."
Gu Li's face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he suppressed his anger, his eyes fixed on the woman hiding behind Qiao Xuanwen.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuanwen knew who the person in front of him was.
Oh, it was him.
Qiao Xuanwen looked the man in front of him up and down, his eyes full of smugness.
How could he have ever considered such a man as an adversary? The noble prince couldn't help but reflect on his actions.
After all, they seem to be completely incomparable.
Qiao Xuanwen was secretly pleased; it was good to see Gu Li this way.
Now, Liuyin can tell at a glance who she chose correctly.
However, what Gu Li said was indeed unpleasant to hear, and Qiao Xuanwen couldn't help but purse his lips.
"What do you mean, 'your wife'? She is my lawfully wedded wife, whom I married with great ceremony."
"Who gave you the right to slander me?"
Crown Princess?
Gu Li was taken aback, his expression suddenly calming down, as if he wasn't the one who had been full of anger just moments before.
Did you marry him willingly?
Qiao Xuanwen was furious! What kind of person is he? He can't stand to see others doing well, can he?
"My wife and I got married because we were in love. What gives you the right to question our relationship?"
Gu Li shook her head and looked at Qiao Xuanwen with a knowing look in her eyes.
Liu Yin didn't say a word from beginning to end. She didn't want to see Gu Li, and she found it annoying to even say a word to him.
"I will not marry anyone else."
Gu Li looked intently at Liu Yin behind Qiao Xuanwen, her words firm and certain.
Just as Qiao Xuanwen mentioned the Crown Princess, Gu Li suddenly remembered the reason why Liu Yin left.
Was it because he wanted Liuyin to be his concubine that she left?
Indeed, after marrying Qiao Xuanwen, she became a noble princess consort, enjoying a life of wealth and luxury.
If I marry him, I might end up like my grandmother, living in constant fear day and night.
