Chapter 23 I have already apologized, Yuaner, why don’t you forgive me?
The two held hands all the way, and even when the carriage stopped at Qingshi Lane, they did not let go.
Gu Huailing in front of him sat upright with his thin lips tightly pursed.
On the other hand, Shen Yuan looked relaxed, with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.
"Sir, we're here."
Chen Yuan moved her hand and pulled it out from Gu Huailing's slightly hot palm.
Gu Huailing was stunned. When he looked at Chen Yuan's frank and confident face, his heart suddenly beat faster.
He coughed lightly and said, "I'll let Sanjiu escort you back. If I show up frequently before the engagement is finalized, it would be unreasonable."
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing's awkward expression and burst out laughing, "So, even the Prime Minister gets nervous sometimes?"
Her smile was so soft and beautiful, and her eyes, filled with water, seemed to be the only light in the carriage.
Gu Huailing's eyes turned dangerous and dark, "If Yuan'er doesn't want to go down, then wait a little longer."
Chen Yuan suddenly became alert and jumped off the carriage before Gu Huailing could make any move.
Since learning yesterday that Gu Huailing was going to propose marriage, the entire Gu Mansion has been in motion.
Open the warehouse and choose the betrothal gifts.
A few days ago, Gu Yao set out to pick up Old Madam Gu who was recuperating in the Taoist temple, and waited for her to come back to personally propose to Gu Huailing.
Gu Huailing has been in a good mood since yesterday.
On the way back to Shenduyuan, the corners of his lips curved up without him even noticing.
"Greetings, Prime Minister." When the servants saw Gu Huailing, they all stopped and saluted.
After he walked away, they all started gossiping.
"Am I seeing things? The Prime Minister actually laughed." A servant said with his head down.
"Then you must have seen it wrong. Even the Prime Minister would not laugh." Another servant said confidently, holding the broom.
"That's impossible, I clearly saw..."
"Shut up, the Prime Minister is not someone you can discuss." The steward came from behind and slapped each of them.
After scaring the servant away, the old butler touched his chin and thought to himself, did he really laugh?
"Miss, Qingmu, who was with Master Gu, came here just now and said that Master Gu wanted to invite you to meet him. I immediately kicked him out."
As soon as Shen Yuan came back, Taozi started chattering in her ear.
"well done."
"Of course not. Our daughter is going to marry the Prime Minister. How can we allow others to interfere with her?"
"Miss, please go back to your room and rest. I'm going to sweep the yard again!"
Taozi held the rag and said confidently.
Chen Yuan looked at the yard where there was not even a weed and felt helpless. He just let her be.
“Shen Yuan!!!”
A voice full of resentment came from outside.
Gu Jingchu rushed in with a gloomy face.
He looked a little haggard and disheveled.
Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and walked into the house without looking around.
"Master Gu, please go back." Taozi stepped forward and blocked Gu Jingchu's sight.
"Get out of the way!" Gu Jingchu chased forward.
Taozi was entangled in Aoki's sweet words.
When he was about to grab the corner of Shen Yuan's clothes, two secret guards suddenly appeared and stopped Gu Jingchu.
"Please go back, my lord. We are following the orders of the Prime Minister to protect the young lady."
Gu Jingchu sneered, "What dares to stop me? Get out of the way."
The secret guard refused to budge, "Please don't make things difficult for us, my lord."
"What? Are you still going to fight? Come on, am I afraid of two dogs?"
Gu Jingchu clenched his fists and stared at the two men sinisterly, "Let's see how many of you have the guts to hurt me."
The two secret guards exchanged a glance and clasped their fists towards Gu Jingchu, "Prince, I'm sorry!"
"Enough! Gu Jingchu, why are you crazy again?" Chen Yuan walked out of the house with a cold face.
The secret guard retreated in response.
Gu Jingchu's aura suddenly became weaker.
He looked at Chen Yuan, his tone muffled, "Yuan'er, I don't have any other intentions, I just have something I want to give you."
"No, you can go now."
Gu Jingchu acted as if he didn't hear what Shen Yuan said.
He took a large brocade box from Aoki's hand, and when he opened it, there were several small boxes.
Gu Jingchu opened one of them and found a string of bright red coral bracelets inside.
It was the dowry that Gu Jingchu should have given to Chen Yuan.
"Yuan'er, I originally found this coral bracelet for you. It was Lin Wanyin who begged me to let her wear it for a few days."
Another box was opened, revealing a white jade hairpin.
"This hairpin was originally intended to be your coming-of-age gift, but we parted on bad terms that day, so I never gave it to you."
He opened the brocade boxes one by one.
Everything inside was what Chen Yuan once wanted the most, but now she doesn't want any of it.
Chen Yuan's gaze lingered on these jewelry gifts for a long time.
For some reason, looking at these, she finally felt relieved at this moment.
The little bit of resentment hidden in my heart also disappeared.
"Yuan'er, I was wrong. I have found all these back. Can we start over?" Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan pleadingly.
So, human hearts are really hard to predict.
When you give him your heart, he throws it away.
When you really take it back, he will pursue you again.
So cheap!
Taozi watched this scene and couldn't help but clench her fists.
A large part of these were given to Miss Lin in the beginning. Is Prince Gu asking Miss Lin for some of them again and then giving them to his own daughter?
Isn’t this too shameless?
"Gu Jingchu, if you had given me these things before, I would have been delighted, but now you make me look down on you and think you are nothing special."
"Giving these things to me now is not making up for it, but rather humiliating me. Am I, Chen Yuan, so unworthy of respect in your eyes?"
"Yuan'er, I didn't. I really want to make it up to you. Aren't these what you once wanted? I have given them all to you now, why don't you forgive me?" Gu Jingchu's face was full of confusion and grievance.
Chen Yuan withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Jingchu as if he were a stranger.
"Don't call me Yuan'er anymore. You are not worthy of that name. Master Gu, if you have nothing else to say, please go back. Taozi will see you off."
Having said this, Chen Yuan didn't want to say a word more to Gu Jingchu.
Taozi had already lost his patience and after hearing what his daughter said, he directly kicked the person out!
Gu Jingchu's dignity and face were completely trampled upon by Chen Yuan.
He stared at Chen Yuan for several times, and finally walked away.
"Bah!" Taozi spat fiercely.
Looking at the pile of brocade boxes in the courtyard, he asked Chen Yuan, "Miss, what should we do with these?"
Chen Yuan looked at those things and suddenly thought of Lin Wanyin.
She also sincerely wanted to help her and Gu Jingchu, "Send it to Lin Wanyin."
"I will go right away."
Taozi immediately found a piece of rag, threw all the corals and white jade into it, tied it into a package, and carried it on her back.
He walked towards the Lin Mansion with high spirits and a heroic look.
"Send me something?" A hint of joy flashed in Lin Wanyin's eyes.
She stroked her hair and asked in a pretentiously arrogant tone, "What did Chen Yuan give me? You know, I don't accept everything."
Taozi rolled her eyes and spread the rag package on the table, "Miss Bao Lin is satisfied."
