Chapter 13 Nonsense!
After hearing what her elder brother said, Gu Yao almost pinched her philtrum!
“So, you teamed up with Brother Shen Zhao to put on a show in front of my sister-in-law?”
Gu Yao's tone was too exaggerated.
Gu Huailing glanced at her calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Of course it's not right, brother. If you do this, your sister-in-law will feel that she is being schemed against. How can she be happy?"
Yeah?
Gu Huailing's eyes were gloomy.
Chen Zhao didn't know how to talk to A Yuan and find himself, so the scene in the daytime happened.
"Brother, you should apologize to your sister-in-law quickly, otherwise the wife you have got will fly away. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"It's already flown." Gu Huailing was rarely unconfident.
Gu Yao rolled her eyes and said, "That's my sister-in-law being angry. Did she say that she will have nothing to do with you anymore?"
For the first time, Gu Huailing felt that his sister was quite intelligent.
He nodded without denying it.
Gu Yao was happy.
She placed her hands on her brother's priceless agarwood desk, which he would never let her touch.
Holding his chin high, he said, "Go open your private vault now and personally select an apology gift for your sister-in-law. I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."
The next morning, Gu Yao arrived at Qingshi Lane.
When I came back yesterday, someone from Linlangfang came to report that there was a problem with the shop's accounts.
Chen Yuan was busy all night and stopped as soon as he stepped out of Linlangfang.
At the corner of the street, a figure flashed by, exactly the same as the one who followed her yesterday.
"What's wrong, Miss?" Taozi looked in the direction Chen Yuan was looking, but saw nothing.
"I suspect someone has been following us since yesterday." Chen Yuan's voice was tinged with coldness.
"Following?" Taozi pinched her waist and stepped out.
He cursed, "Which villain has the audacity to follow the girl? I'll tear him apart!"
"Come back and tell the driver to take a few more detours and see if he can fish the man out."
Shen Yuan turned his gaze away from the corner and got on the carriage.
Inside the house filled with gold and jade, the smell of medicine and stench were so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes.
The person who had followed Chen Yuan before was now kneeling in front of the bed, trembling with fear.
"Young Master Chen Yuan may have discovered that I am following her."
"Waste!" A medicine bowl smashed out.
"If she finds out, she'll go tell her brother. Anyway, I want these two siblings dead! No matter what the cost!"
"yes."
"Remember, capture them alive, even if they're missing limbs."
The carriage kept circling the street, and by the time it returned to Qingshi Lane, it was already noon.
As soon as Chen Yuan got off the carriage, he saw Gu Yao slumped in front of the courtyard gate in a completely ungraceful manner.
Seeing her come back, he immediately jumped up and pounced on her.
“Sister-in-law…Sister Shen, are you back?”
Chen Yuan opened her arms to catch Gu Yao, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She really liked Gu Yao.
There is a kind of vigor and vitality that she doesn't have.
Inside the house, Gu Yao carefully took out a square rosewood box from her arms and handed it to Chen Yuan.
"Sister Shen, this is my eldest brother's apology gift. Judging from the box, it should be a jade bracelet. Sister Shen, would you like to take a look?
Gu Yao held her chin and looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.
Chen Yuan paused slightly, but still accepted it under Gu Yao's expectant gaze.
Gu Huailing asked Gu Yao to deliver the gift, and if he asked Gu Yao to return it, it would be Gu Yao who would be in trouble.
It would be better for her to return it in person when she has time.
"Sister Shen, are you unhappy? Why don't I take you there tomorrow?"
Before Gu Yao finished speaking, Chen Yuan's expression was visibly horrified, "Let's not do that."
She could not forget the last time when Gu Yao took her to Qingfengtang to find a young waiter and was caught by Gu Huailing.
It's so embarrassing.
"Sister Shen, what are you thinking about? Even if you want to go, I wouldn't dare. I'm talking about a new old stove that's opened in the west of the city. The beggar chicken there is really amazing. Sister Shen, will you accompany me to eat there?"
Gu Yao tugged at Shen Yuan's sleeve and kept acting coquettishly.
In the end, the two decided to go to Lao Zaotou for dinner tomorrow.
After Gu Yao left, Chen Yuan stared at the rosewood box for a long time.
Chen Yuan had been thinking a lot these past two days. Neither A-di nor Gu Huailing had been reborn.
In their opinion, my reaction yesterday was excessive.
Tomorrow, I will have a good talk with my brother and apologize to Gu Huailing.
late at night.
In the silence, Shen Yuan tossed and turned in bed.
The next day, when Shen Yuan arrived at the academy, he found that Shen Zhao had disappeared.
The spacious bedroom was very tidy.
There was a letter on the desk.
The envelope read, "From my sister Chen Yuan."
Shen Yuan opened the letter and her heart sank when she read the last word.
She returned to Qingshi Lane with the last glimmer of hope, but there was no sign of Shen Zhao.
Shen Yuan's face was pale, and his mind was full of the image of Shen Zhao lying in a pool of blood.
She said anxiously, "Taozi, prepare the horse. Zhao'er is going to the northwest to join the army. I want to bring him back."
"I'll go with you, girl."
"You stay at home and look after him in case Zhao'er comes back."
When the sunset covered the sky, Gu Yao arrived at Qingshi Lane.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Taozi walking around anxiously.
"Taozi, where's Sister Chen? We agreed to eat beggar's chicken today."
Gu Yao didn't see Shen Yuan's figure and couldn't help but wonder.
"Miss Gu, my daughter has gone out of town to pursue the young master. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while, so please go back first."
"What?"
"The young master left a letter saying he was going to the northwest to fight, and the girl immediately got anxious and went after him."
“Nonsense!”
After hearing what Gu Yao said, Gu Huailing's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
"Prepare the horses."
The black gold cloak brought a chill to the ground, and Gu Huailing strode out.
Gu Yao shrank her head, rolled her eyes, and secretly led her horse out of the city after her elder brother left.
The night gradually deepened.
Shen Yuan galloped on his horse, the sound of horse hooves approaching like thunder behind him, and these people were chasing him from halfway.
Chen Yuan didn't know what to do, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
There was a dense forest in front of me. Suddenly, a startled bird flew up, and an arrow behind me came flying through the air with the sound of wind.
Shen Yuan was forced to the cliff.
The abyss is like a giant beast that devours people.
"Don't run away, girl! Come down obediently, so you don't suffer too much, and we can explain to your employer." The masked leader reined in his horse and sneered.
"Employer?" Shen Yuan keenly caught these two words.
She tried her best to calm down and looked at the man in black in front of her, "Whoever your employer is, no matter how much money he offers, I will pay ten times as much as long as you let me go."
"The girl is really generous. It's a pity that some things can't be done just by having money."
The masked man in the lead raised his bow and arrow, with the bowstring taut.
The arrow gleamed coldly, aiming at Shen Yuan's shoulder. "Don't worry, young lady. The employer wants you, not your life."
The moment the arrow was shot, a cold light flashed.
With a "clang" sound, the cold arrow pierced the masked man's right wrist.
The arrow was dropped in mid-air.
A murderous aura came.
Chen Yuan saw Gu Huailing sitting on horseback with an angry look on his face and holding a bow and arrow.
"Catch him, dead or alive." The man's voice was like Shura.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and Chen Yuan knew that he was really angry.
The smell of blood filled the cliff, and Gu Huailing put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
Wearing a black gold cloak, he walked towards her step by step.
