Chapter 12 Leave angrily!
Xingyun Academy.
The Prime Minister came, and the President of Xingyun Academy came to meet him in person.
I never expected that the old dean with a ruler hanging around his waist and a serious expression would come.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, he became a different person.
"Shenzhi, is this your wife?" The old dean looked at Chen Yuan with a smile, and there was satisfaction in his eyes.
Shen Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and she explained in a low voice: "No."
"Not now, but sooner or later. I've known Shen Zhi for many years, and I've never seen him with a woman from another place, let alone bringing a woman to see me."
The old dean waved his hand and didn't care much.
Suddenly, he thought of something and slapped his forehead, "You guys sit down first, I'm going to find something."
Sandalwood incense in the house was burning, emitting wisps of green smoke.
Gu Huailing's gaze fell on the woman who was dressed stiffly and sitting upright.
"Don't be nervous. Dean Nanshu and I are close friends regardless of age. We can even be called close friends."
Chen Yuan opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Huailing like a cat.
Gu Huailing was so touched by her cuteness that he couldn't help but laugh.
There were footsteps coming from the outer room, and Shen Yuan looked in the direction of the sound.
The carved lattice windows half-blocked the skylight, so I couldn’t see people’s figures clearly, but I could hear their voices.
"Chen Zhao, you came in last in this exam, and you've been absent-minded in class these past few days. Tell me, what does this mean?"
"I am the headmaster." Shen Zhao lowered his head in shame.
A room away, Chen Yuan heard A-di's voice, and her fingertips unconsciously pressed against the tender white palm.
"Well, I won't make things difficult for you. Just tell me what you think."
"I, Shanzhang, I want to give up literature and join the military, fighting on the battlefield." Shen Zhao felt very guilty, but still said it with his neck stiff.
Shen Yuan's face turned paler and paler.
In the previous life, A-di died on the way to the battlefield.
"Culture can stabilize a country, and martial arts can also stabilize a country. Your teacher has high hopes for you." The headmaster patted Shen Zhao's shoulder.
Shen Yuan didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards.
When she came to her senses, there was no sound from the outer room.
"Ayuan?" Gu Huailing's voice was filled with worry.
Chen Yuan raised his head, his clear and sparkling eyes filled with a hint of panic and questioning.
"My Lord Prime Minister, did you deliberately let me hear what you just said?" The woman's voice was clear, but it hit the point directly.
"Yes." Gu Huailing did not deny it.
Chen Yuan stood up suddenly and pressed his hands on the table. His fingertips turned slightly white due to the force.
She tried hard to control her emotions so as not to lose her composure.
"I don't agree. No matter what the Prime Minister's intention is, I will not agree."
Shen Yuan subconsciously still trusts Gu Huailing.
She didn't want to blame Gu Huailing at this time.
In her previous life, A-di's death was a fear engraved in her bones.
"A Yuan, Chen Zhao has grown up and has his own ideas and ambitions."
Gu Huailing noticed that Chen Yuan was emotionally unstable and lowered his voice even more.
"Master Prime Minister, I am just a little woman. I don't have your strategic planning and ambition. I just want my younger brother to be safe and sound. It doesn't matter if I'm not good at writing. I will definitely protect my younger brother."
For the first time, Shen Yuan did not give in at all in front of Gu Huailing.
"Sister, I will protect you too. I want to go to the battlefield." A figure rushed in from outside, and Shen Zhao looked at Shen Yuan anxiously.
Shen Yuan glanced at Gu Huailing, then at Shen Zhao, and said in a firm and unquestionable tone, "I disagree."
Chen Zhao's cheeks were a little pale. He should have been full of vigor and vitality at this age, but he had become a completely different person after being tempered in the academy.
"Sister." Shen Zhao bent his knees and knelt in front of Shen Yuan.
"Sister, you've been protecting Zhao'er since he was young. I can see how hard it's been for you. I don't want to grow up under your protection forever. Sister, I'm a man, and building a successful career is what I want in my life."
Shen Zhao looked at Shen Yuan with tears in his eyes.
No matter who my sister marries in the future.
If he achieves success, he will surely be able to protect my sister from worries for the rest of her life.
With a powerful family around me, who would dare to bully me?
"No." Shen Yuan clenched her palms and turned her face away from Shen Zhao.
"Sister, I..."
"You go back first." Gu Huailing glanced at Chen Zhao calmly.
Then, his eyes fixed on Shen Yuan.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the room gradually became quiet.
Gu Huailing's eyes gradually darkened, like a block of thick ink with no bottom.
"Ayuan, what are you afraid of?"
The pain in his palm gradually calmed Shen Yuan down.
She raised her eyes and looked directly into Gu Huailing's gaze.
"I know that the Prime Minister has his own thoughts, but between my brother and I, please do not make decisions on your own."
"Before, I was ignorant and tried to negotiate terms with the Prime Minister. Now that I, Shen Yuan, have realized my mistake, I will stop what I said before."
Gu Huailing's vision suddenly became extremely sharp.
The pressure like a mountain came over us.
"Ayuan, what did you say?"
His tone remained steady, but he still accidentally let out a hint of anger.
Chen Yuan bowed to him and said, "Having said this, Chen Yuan will take his leave."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"It was really easy for me to find it." After Chen Yuan left for a while, Dean Nanfeng walked in holding a painting box.
"Shenzhi, where is the girl?"
Gu Huailing lowered his eyes and drank tea, ignoring him.
Dean Nanfeng, who is old and experienced, already knows what happened in the house.
It was rare to see Gu Huailing in trouble. He put down the painting box and gloated:
"Everyone says our Prime Minister is a genius, with a plan that is perfect. Who would have thought he would fail today? Did the girl turn against you?"
Gu Huailing gave him an indifferent look.
Dean Nanfeng smiled even more happily, "It's hard for me to search through all the boxes and cabinets for a long time before I found this picture of the two immortals of harmony and unity. It seems that I can't give it away."
Gu Huailing stood up, bringing with him a whiff of cool ink fragrance.
He glanced at the painting box calmly. "It must have taken a long time to find. I remember you wanted to give this painting to Madam Ru ten years ago, but she didn't want it."
"It's hard for you, to have kept a painting for ten years."
After Gu Huailing finished speaking, he glanced at Dean Nanfeng with contempt, turned around and walked away.
Dean Nanfeng looked at Gu Huailing's back.
His face turned blue with anger and he cursed very dirty!
This bastard just pokes people in the heart.
Why bother talking about his love, hate, and emotions!
After Gu Huailing returned home, he went to the study alone.
He rejected memorial after memorial with an expressionless face.
With a creak, the door was slightly opened.
Gu Yao stuck her head in.
"Get out." Gu Huailing's low voice came out.
Gu Yao stiffened her neck and said, "Brother, did you have a quarrel with your sister-in-law? I went to see her this afternoon, and she didn't look too happy."
Inside the house, the sound of pens rubbing against each other continued.
Gu Yao curled her lips and said, "Brother, please handle your official business. I won't disturb you anymore."
"Come in."
A low voice sounded.
Gu Yao rolled his eyes in his heart. He was really pretending. No wonder Sister Shen ignored him.
Should!
"Brother, tell me, how did you make Sister Shen unhappy? I'll analyze it for you."
Gu Yao sat there with his horse and sword, and began to act as a military advisor.
