Chapter 397 398. Who gives you the courage?
Ning Yuchen gritted his teeth and thought, "It turns out that Gu Wenheng is the adulterer in the story. I am helping him to avoid disaster."
"What are you mumbling about here?" Liu Shijiang passed by him and said with a look of helplessness on his face, "Have you sorted out the things I asked you to sort out yesterday? I have to send them to Lord Gong later."
Ning Yuchen, "Master Liu, I'll go and sort it out right away."
"Don't keep a close eye on others all day long, and handle the things in your hands well." After saying this, Liu Shijiang walked away without noticing his distorted expression.

Gu Wenheng was just about to get on the carriage to go back home when Ning Yuchen suddenly jumped out and grabbed his hand. Hong Da and Ming Feng at the side immediately protected him behind them, but Ning Yuchen still did not let go.
"Master Ning, what does this mean?"
"Master Gu, you know we are all sensible people, so don't act stupid here."
Gu Wenheng stared at his hand that was grabbing his robe, "I don't understand what Lord Ning is talking about. Besides, isn't it inappropriate for you to act this way?"
"The adulterer of Xiao's family is actually you, right?"
"Lord Ning, please be careful with your words." Gu Wenheng was no longer in a hurry to get on the carriage, but pushed Ming Feng who was blocking his way. "I just don't understand, what unforgivable thing did I do to Lord Ning that made you keep nagging me?"
Ning Yuchen, "Don't talk so much to me, just tell me that the adulterer is actually you."
"Heh," Gu Wenheng slapped his hands off his robe, "Master Ning, don't you feel guilty for saying this? Did you forget so quickly about your plan at the Huang Mansion last time? If I really had an affair with that Xiao, why would you have to spend so much time and effort on it?
I think you are eager to pass on the blame, otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious to take someone in during the new mourning period, and now you are trying to divert the blame to me.
What? Do you think that just because I don't want to bother with you anymore, you can just go ahead and do what you want?
Who gave you the courage? Who made you think that I could indulge you again and again? "
After asking a few questions in succession, Ning Yuchen could feel the air around him condensing and a sense of oppression coming from above his head.
Yes, in his mind, he only thought that Gu Wenheng was a Jinshi in the same year as him, but he forgot that the other party was several levels higher than him.
No, in fact, he knew it in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.
So every time he took advantage of this ignorance and didn't show courtesy to Gu Wenheng, and the other party didn't care about it, so he became even more unscrupulous.
But when he thought about his own situation, he gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, the Xiao family wanted to plot against you, but I don't know how you got the news and plotted against you.
If you didn't have an affair with her, would she have gone to so much trouble?"
Gu Wenheng looked at him, only to see his scalp tingling, and then he said coldly, "I really don't know how you got to this point with your brain.
Use your brain to think about what you are doing. Why do you have to let me break it down and tell you about it?"
Gu Wenheng's foolish look made Ning Yuchen's anger surge, but before he could refute, Gu Wenheng dealt him another deep blow.
“Actually, if you don’t say it, I really don’t want to mention it.
Why do you think that when you are plotting against others, they cannot fight back?
What? You, Ning Yuchen, are allowed to play tricks, but you don't allow others to reciprocate?
Besides, if you weren't attracted by her beauty, why would you have taken Xiao into your house?
Now that something has happened, you are in a hurry to get out of it, completely forgetting your high spirits a while ago."
Ning Yuchen still didn't want to accept the fact, "If you are really innocent, why would Xiao scheme against you?"
Gu Wenheng rolled his eyes at him, "Then you have to ask her. Just like you always dislike me, I still want to ask you. I haven't offended you, so why do you always target me?"
Ning Yuchen finally showed embarrassment on his face. In fact, he knew that there was jealousy and resentment involved.
Only one step away, their current identities and status would be enough to be switched. Coupled with the old lady's constant brainwashing, he deeply felt that his position as the top scholar was stolen by Gu Wenheng.
Gu Wenheng did not expect the other party to give him an answer. It would be better to tear it apart now. He really didn't want to see this person continue to jump around in front of him.
By the time Gu Wenheng turned around and got on the carriage, Ning Yuchen was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
…
Gu Lehuan still went to Gu Wenheng's study despite herself.
"Do you have something to say?" Gu Wenheng saw that this boy had not spoken a word since he entered the door. He sighed inwardly and asked directly.
Gu Lehuan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Seventh Uncle, I..."
Gu Wenheng didn't want to hear another story, "Are you going to talk about your Miss Xu?"
Gu Lehuan was stunned, "Uncle Qi, you already know everything."
Gu Wenheng, "You have been in the capital for so many days, and I am not deaf or dumb, so how could I not know.
Now, what is your intention in looking for me? "
Gu Lehuan, "Uncle Qi, after thinking it over, I still don't want to regret it in the future. Even if no one approves, I still want to give it a try."
"so what?"
Gu Lehuan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't plan to go back with my fourth uncle this time. I will rent a small courtyard outside and settle the marriage first. In the future, I can stay here to take care of Xu Dongjia."
Gu Wenheng, "What about your parents? They raised you up, and you just don't care about them anymore?"
Gu Lehuan couldn't see the change on Gu Wenheng's face, and couldn't figure out his true thoughts. He could only say instinctively, "My parents are living a decent life now. I know that I am unfilial by making this choice. I will work hard to earn money in the future, and I will pay them back."
Gu Wenheng, "Oh, you really are the blood of the Gu family. Once you make a choice, you will never look back.
Uncle Qi hopes you will remember the decision you made today.
Now that you have made the choice, you have to take responsibility for what you should take responsibility for.
Go back and think about how to explain to your parents, and then ask the housekeeper to write you a letter, so that they don't disturb your grandmother for no reason."
Gu Lehuan knew that this meant no objection, and immediately smiled cheerfully, "Well, Uncle Qi, I will explain it clearly."
Gu Wenheng waved his hand to drive the person out, and then continued to read the books he had just bought.
Jin Qianqian came in with some tea and snacks and saw him writing annotations. She couldn't help but lean over to take a look and said, "You have a really good habit. You write down your thoughts every time you read a book. I can't develop such a habit."
"Why did you come here in person?" Gu Wenheng walked over, took the snacks and put them on the table, then held her hand and felt a chill in it.
