Chapter 31 If you promise to marry me, I will tell you the truth.
For some reason, Chen Yuan always felt that there seemed to be a giant beast suppressed deep in Gu Huailing's heart, but then she thought that she might be overthinking it.
How could I guess his thoughts so easily?
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Taozi raised her hand and waved it in front of Shen Yuan.
Chen Yuan finally came back to her senses. She pressed her eyebrows and said, "Go get my unfinished jade."
The jade pendant that was previously carved for Gu Huailing was delayed due to something, and it was almost done. Chen Yuan wanted to finish it before the engagement.
For two consecutive days, Chen Yuan was carving a jade pendant. She carved a jade pendant with auspicious clouds, which meant that she would always be on top of the clouds.
Chen Yuan looked at the polished jade pendant in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally done.
Taozi came in carrying a tray with tassels of different shades on it. "Miss, this is the tassel you asked for. Go to bed early after you've finished making it. You've been working so hard these past two days that your eyes are red. Tomorrow morning, the Gu family will come to propose marriage, so you have to be alert."
Chen Yuan hummed nonchalantly, "You rest first, I'll go to sleep now."
After Taozi left, Chen Yuan looked at a tray of tassels and picked out a navy tassel and tied it to the jade pendant.
Chen Yuan looked at the jade pendant in his hand with satisfaction, stood up and walked out of the yard, ready to stretch his muscles.
The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. She holds the jade pendant and looks up at the sky. I think the days will be different from now on.
"Get out of here quickly. We are having a wedding tomorrow. Don't come here to cause trouble." There was a noise coming from outside the door.
Chen Yuan went over and saw Taozi rolling up her sleeves, pushing Qingmu, who was trying to break in, out.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yuan asked coldly.
Taozi glared at Qingmu coldly, "Miss, this rascal tried to break into our yard, and even said that Master Gu had something urgent to give you! Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
In the past, it was always Chen Yuan who flattered Gu Jingchu. Whenever Qingmu came, Chen Yuan would greet him with a smile and treat him with courtesy.
Now he can't even enter the gate. Can he say that all this was done by the prince himself?
It was he who was in trouble.
"Go away. I have no connection with your family's heir anymore. Go back and tell him two words: respect yourself. Taozi is closed!"
"Okay!"
Qingmu pushed the door open with his hands and shouted at the top of his voice: "Miss Shen, the prince said it has something to do with Young Master Shen."
Chen Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at Qing Mu with a very cold look: "What did you say?"
Qing Mu broke out in a cold sweat and handed over a piece of paper with both hands, "The prince said, give this to the girl, and she will understand after reading it."
Chen Yuan took the note and her face turned pale after just one glance. "Where is Gu Jingchu?"
Shen Yuan's gaze was too sharp, Qing Mu didn't dare to meet her gaze, he could only lower his head and whisper: "The prince said he was waiting for you at the city gate."
After Qingmu finished speaking, Chen Yuan disappeared. She walked so fast that Taozi couldn't catch up with her.
"The Prime Minister will come to propose marriage tomorrow morning. If you ruin the young lady's plan, I will not forgive you!" Taozi stomped her feet in anger.
Qingmu had no words to express his grievances. If the prince really did something out of line, he would be the first person to be skinned alive by the Prime Minister!
Alas, what a sin he has committed!
When Chen Yuan arrived at the city gate, Gu Jingchu had been waiting for a long time.
He was leading two horses, and when Shen Yuan saw the two horses, the guesses in his mind along the way were confirmed.
Gu Jingchu was also reborn.
These two horses were personally selected by Gu Jingchu in his previous life.
Her riding skills were also taught by Gu Jingchu in her previous life.
Gu Jingchu walked forward, leading the horse, his dark eyes full of restraint, and a hint of joy at having regained something that had been lost.
"Yuan'er." He called out these two words tremblingly, and used all his strength to resist hugging her in his arms.
This was his wife. After falling that day, Gu Jingchu had a very long dream. He dreamed of his past life and saw her Yuan'er die in front of him.
Gu Jingchu felt heartbroken when he woke up, but fortunately he could make up for it in this life.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingchu warily and cautiously, "What do you mean by the words in your note? Why do you say Zhao'er will be in trouble?"
Gu Jingchu got on the horse himself, and sitting on the horse, he looked at Chen Yuan firmly and said, "Yuan'er, you know I won't lie to you about the person you care about most. If you want to know what happened, just follow me."
Shen Yuan cares about Shen Zhao the most, so he will definitely go with her.
As expected, Chen Yuan jumped onto the horse.
Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan, his heart felt as if it was being pulled and torn apart, and pain spread to every part of his body.
It turned out that his Yuan'er had also returned. She must have hated him so much because of what happened in her previous life that she didn't want to recognize him and wanted to marry Gu Huailing.
But it doesn't matter. Fortunately, he is back. It's not too late for all this. He will never let Yuan'er marry Gu Huailing. He will treat her well and he will make their relationship the same as before.
The sound of hurried horse hooves is especially noticeable late at night.
The curtain of the black wooden carriage was blown open by the wind. Gu Huailing looked at the person who passed by him with a gloomy look.
The person sat steadily on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and the whip in the other, and her shadow was visible wherever the wind blew past.
The person standing next to her was Gu Jingchu.
"Stop." A warm voice came from inside the carriage, and Sanjiu stopped the carriage immediately.
Gu Huailing's figure merged with the darkness, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Sanjiu looked at his master, his heart suddenly in his throat. Did Miss Shen elope with Master Gu? What would happen to his master then?
They, the subordinates, all saw how much the master valued this marriage. Today, they went out of the city to play chess with the abbot at Wanfo Temple for a day, and finally got a good marriage fortune.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, I ran into Miss Shen eloping with someone!!!
Sanjiu felt sorry for his master and said angrily, "Master, I will go and get Miss Shen back right away."
The night was so deep that it seemed as if there was no end in sight. Gu Huailing's face was unrecognizable as either happy or angry. "Go back."
Although Sanjiu was angry, he didn't dare to refute.
Inside the carriage, Gu Huailing held the fortune stick in his hand, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Although Chen Yuan was taught horsemanship by Gu Jingchu, he is now much better than him.
After running for a long time, the two stopped.
Looking at the familiar woods from the previous life, a chill surged from the soles of my feet, and all the subconscious fears from the previous life emerged.
In his previous life, Chen Zhao died here.
"Yuan'er, I know you are back too." Gu Jingchu said affirmatively.
Chen Yuan looked at him with extremely cold eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Gu Jingchu was stung by such a look.
"Aren't you back too?" It was a question, but also a certainty.
Gu Jingchu nodded. "Yuan'er, I was sorry for you in my last life. Can you give me another chance? Let's start over."
"Gu Jingchu, I don't want to waste any more words with you. I want to know what happened in your note, that Zhao'er was murdered in his previous life?"
She always thought that Zhao'er's death was an accident, but Gu Jingchu wrote on the note that he was murdered.
In the previous life, I was trapped in the inner house by Gu Jingchu, so naturally I was not as well-informed as him.
Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan with an inexplicable sense of oppression. This was the unique feeling of Gu Jingchu who had become a marquis in his previous life. "If you agree to marry me, I will tell you the truth."
