Chapter 3 Are you afraid of me?
Lin Wanyin and Gu Jingchu's expressions suddenly became extremely interesting!
Lin Wanyin opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Mr. Chen, isn't your Snow Ginseng Pill for me? The prince ordered it for me long ago."
Just then.
The doctor who had been treating Lin Wanyin in the morning came over hurriedly and said, "I'm so sorry, Master Gu, we're out of Snow Ginseng Pills today."
"How could there be none? Isn't that Snow Ginseng Pill in Elder Chen's hand?"
Tears instantly welled up in Lin Wanyin's eyes, and she looked at Gu Jingchu aggrievedly.
Gu Jingchu's expression turned ugly again. "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
"What's there to say? I bought the Snow Ginseng Pill." Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingchu and Lin Wanyin coldly.
Lin Wanyin's tears fell in an instant.
She covered her heart and her breathing began to become rapid.
The whole person was shaky, as if he would faint at any time.
Gu Jingchu raised his hand to support Lin Wanyin, "Chen Yuan, Wanyin has a heart disease and needs Snow Ginseng Pill, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Chen Yuan replied indifferently.
“Forget it, Brother Jingchu, since my sister is trying to make things difficult for me, then I will accept it. It doesn’t matter if I feel a little uncomfortable, as long as Sister Shen can vent her anger.”
Lin Wanyin grabbed Gu Jingchu's sleeve, her voice sounding a little sad.
Gu Jingchu patted Lin Wanyin's hand soothingly.
He turned and looked at Chen Yuan, "Forget it, I won't be angry with you today. I will pay double the amount of silver you spent on the Snow Ginseng Pill."
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingchu and raised his hand and extended a finger.
"One thousand taels, I'll give it to you."
Shen Yuan shook his head, "Ten thousand taels!"
Gu Jingchu's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Chen Yuan, how can you be so mercenary? In your opinion, human life can be measured by money?"
Shen Yuan looked at Gu Jingchu and suddenly found it ridiculous.
"Yeah, I can't. But, didn't you make the offer first? How come you're not a mercenary?"
"You are allowed to do it on the first day, but others are not allowed to do it on the fifteenth? Is this the principle of your Gu Shizi?"
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he turned to Gu Huailing and said respectfully, "Master Prime Minister, please follow me upstairs."
"Chen Yuan! Stop!" Gu Jingchu said angrily.
He wanted to go up and pull Chen Yuan, but was stopped by Gu Huailing.
Gu Huailing protected Chen Yuan behind him, his eyes dark, his voice like a cold jade chime, "Gu Jingchu."
His face contained a warning and silent oppression, as if a giant beast was trapped under the ice.
Gu Jingchu had to admit that he was afraid of Gu Huailing deep down in his heart. Under the man's gaze and pressure, he took a step back.
"How can Sister Shen still side with others? You and your cousin are getting married soon."
Lin Wanyin hid behind Gu Jingchu and said timidly.
Chen Yuan looked down at Lin Wanyin from a high position. "Lin Wanyin, I was too lazy to bother with you. Since you are jumping around so happily, let Elder Chen personally take your pulse and find out what is causing your heart disease."
A guilty look flashed across Lin Wanyin's eyes.
If I let Mr. Chen take my pulse in public, then my pretending to be sick today would be exposed.
She looked at Gu Jingchu timidly, "Will Mr. Chen take my pulse just based on Sister Shen's words? Cousin..."
“Since Miss Shen has spoken, this old man will make an exception.”
Lin Wanyin bit her lip and her whole body froze.
She didn't want Mr. Chen to make an exception!
Elder Chen looked at Lin Wanyin and said, "Please come in."
Old Chen's hand only stayed on Lin Wanyin's pulse for a moment before he withdrew it with a sullen face.
"This girl only has a mild heart condition, so she can be fine without medication. However, her pulse is stringy, which is probably caused by the Snow Ginseng Pills she usually takes."
As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, a few laughs were heard in Huichun Hall.
"You really can't judge a person by appearance. This girl looks so weak and fragile, but she actually pretended to be sick to get the Snow Ginseng Pill!"
"All medicines are poisonous. This girl is too greedy."
"That's right, that's right..."
Lin Wanyin's face was pale and blue, she bit her lips, and her whole body was shaking.
Gu Jingchu's face also looked unhappy. Could it be that Lin Wanyin had been lying to him before?
"Cousin, I didn't." Lin Wanyin really cried this time.
It's just because it's embarrassing and shameful!
"Gu Jingchu, did you hear that? Your good cousin is treating you like a fool!"
Chen Yuan had seen enough of the show and walked towards the third floor with the medicine bowl.
Gu Huailing walked behind Shen Yuan.
The backs of the two people crossed each other in the stairwell.
When they walk, their sleeves occasionally touch each other, and they look so good together.
Gu Jingchu stared at the backs of the two men, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
His eyes were filled with gloom and anger.
"Cousin." Lin Wanyin called Gu Jingchu while sobbing.
Gu Jingchu looked at Lin Wanyin, his face showing no emotion, "Wanyin, are you really having a heart attack today?"
"Cousin, don't you believe me?" Lin Wanyin's eyes were red with tears.
In the past, when Gu Jing first saw Lin Wanyin like this, he would definitely choose to believe her and go forward to comfort her.
Today, he felt unusually depressed.
Lin Wanyin looked at Gu Jingchu with tears on her face.
This was the first time that my cousin saw her crying and remained indifferent.
It’s all the fault of that bitch Shen Yuan! She will definitely not let her go!
On the third floor, Mr. Chen put down the medicine and walked out.
Gu Yao lay quietly on the bed, while Gu Huailing stood in front of the couch without saying a word.
"Miss Gu just took the medicine, so it's normal for her to sweat a little. Elder Chen said that Miss Gu's heart disease can be cured, so don't worry."
The room was terribly quiet, so Shen Yuan had no choice but to make small talk.
Gu Huailing turned around, looked at the woman in front of him, and walked towards her step by step.
Every time he took a step forward, Shen Yuan took a step back.
"Are you afraid of me?" Gu Huailing said in a very calm voice.
Shen Yuan hurriedly shook his head.
"Then why are you hiding?" He said in a low and deep voice.
But Chen Yuan was still afraid. She could not forget the time in her previous life when she fell in a pool of blood due to a miscarriage. The cold eyes of this man...
"You saved my sister, so you are my benefactor," Gu Huailing raised his eyes slightly.
"Don't be afraid."
Chen Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and she looked up and accidentally met Gu Huailing's sight.
Those were a pair of phoenix eyes that were too cold.
His eyes were dark, like frost on winter snow.
It makes people unable to see the slightest bit of their feelings, yet they feel extremely at ease.
"There is indeed something I would like to trouble the Prime Minister with." Chen Yuan stared at those eyes and blurted out.
Gu Huailing nodded and motioned for her to continue.
The woman's voice was very soft, and contained a hint of cautious uncertainty. After she finished speaking, the room was silent for a long time.
"Can I understand that Miss Shen asked me to help you cancel your marriage with Jingchu, find out the truth about the Shen family's injustice, and finally redress the Shen family?"
The man tapped the table with his knuckles, as if he was thinking about something.
Shen Yuan nodded, her heart beating wildly, and she felt something was wrong with herself.
To repay a favor with a favor is not what a gentleman does.
But she had no other choice, because only Gu Huailing could help her break off the engagement.
Shen Yuan's fingertips were tangled together, and her whole body was filled with restraint.
The silence was longer than before.
"No." Just when Shen Yuan thought Gu Huailing would not answer.
A man's calm and indifferent voice sounded.
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was within her expectations and she was not disappointed.
Instead, I feel more ashamed.
"I'm sorry for being abrupt. I won't disturb the Prime Minister. I'll take my leave first."
Chen Yuan lowered his head and ran out as if escaping.
She was so flustered that she didn't even look at where she was stepping.
He stepped on the curtain inside the house and fell forward.
