Chapter 32 Oh no, Gu Huailing is angry!
A nameless anger surged up, and Shen Yuan gripped the whip, his nails almost digging into the flesh.
"Gu Jingchu, you know that I care about my family the most, but you still use this to threaten me to marry you?" Her tone was cold and she was really angry.
"Yuan'er, I'm not." Gu Jingchu subconsciously wanted to explain, but he changed the subject after just saying one sentence.
"That's right, Yuan'er. I'm threatening you with this because I'm the only one who knows the truth, and I'm the only one who can prevent the tragedy that happened to Chen Zhao in his previous life. Believe me, I have the ability to protect you and your family."
Gu Jingchu looked at the woman's eyes full of disgust. He felt pain too. If possible, he didn't want to threaten her.
Yuan'er looks gentle and soft on the outside, but she is actually very strong-willed and opinionated on the inside. Once she makes a decision on something, no one can change it.
So he had no choice but to do this, and she forced him to do all this.
He would make it up to her later.
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed, a sad laugh. The girl who was like a dead leaf in the previous life seemed to appear in front of him again.
Gu Jingchu couldn't help but step forward to help her, but was pushed away by Chen Yuan with all his strength.
She glared at Gu Jingchu angrily, "I shouldn't have come. If you didn't tell me, I would have checked it myself, but Gu Jingchu wants me to marry you again, and I can't do that even if I die!
"Then who do you want to marry? Marry Gu Huailing? Do you know what kind of person he is? He is the first person in the Jin Dynasty to become the Prime Minister at the tender age of twenty. Yuan'er, can you beat him? Don't you think he has some ulterior motives for you?"
"Even if he has some ulterior motive, I am glad that I have what the Prime Minister wants." After saying this, Chen Yuan walked towards the horse.
Gu Jingchu stood in front of Shen Yuan.
"You want to stop me?"
"Yuan'er, why do you misunderstand me again?" Gu Jingchu's eyes were deep. Before Shen Yuan could react, he drew the sword at his side and cut the legs of both horses at the same time.
The horse neighed in pain, and Gu Jingchu retracted his sword without caring.
"I wanted to kill these two beasts, but I was afraid Yuan'er would be scared. Now that we have no horses, this place is so far from the capital. Even if you walk for a day and a night, you won't be able to get back."
"If you're late, do you think Gu Huailing will still wait for you? Will he think he's been tricked?"
Shen Yuan turned around suddenly and looked at Gu Jingchu in disbelief, "You are so shameless."
After saying that, he walked towards the darkness without looking back.
When Chen Yuan walked back, it was already dusk the next day. She pushed the door open and thought the yard would be empty.
Unexpectedly, the whole yard was covered with red silk, and the betrothal gifts were placed so that there was no place to put them. Gu Huailing stood in the yard and looked up at Shen Yuan the moment she came in.
His expression showed no emotion, and his eyes were dark and deep.
Oh no, Gu Huailing is angry.
"My Lord Prime Minister," Chen Yuan opened his mouth to explain, but Gu Huailing didn't even glance at him and walked out.
.......
"What? Big brother ignored you and didn't listen to your explanation?" Gu Yao said in shock.
Chen Yuan felt a little lost and listless. Facing the several delicacies in front of him, he didn't even touch his chopsticks.
Gu Yao looked at Chen Yuan and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Big brother likes you so much. As long as you don't run away with some random guy, he will definitely forgive you."
Chen Yuan sighed. Why didn’t she run away with a strange man?
Gu Yao looked at Chen Yuan's expression and asked tentatively, "She wouldn't really run away with a strange man, would she?"
Shen Yuan nodded irritably, and Gu Yao gave her a thumbs-up and worshiped her, "Sister-in-law, you are so brave!"
There were diners all around. Chen Yuan glared at Gu Yao and said, "Keep your voice down and think of a solution for me!"
Gu Yao gave him a helpless look.
“Isn’t this Miss Shen who is teasing the Prime Minister?”
"Now the whole capital has spread the news that when the Prime Minister was about to propose, Miss Shen ran away, and the Prime Minister waited for a whole day in vain."
"How dare you be so shameless and come out?"
A woman in a goose yellow dress and a woman in a white dress with a veil covering her face came to their table.
Gu Yao knocked the table in front of her with her chopsticks, looked at the woman in the goose yellow dress and said, "Xu Anyue, shut up!"
Xu Anyue snorted coldly, "How can you do that? And you're not allowed to say it? Gu Yao, you're really a traitor."
“I don’t think there’s anything special about this Miss Shen. Apart from her pretty face, she looks vulgar with all these jewels!”
Chen Yuan didn't know Xu Anyue, but she wasn't one to be scolded for nothing. She looked at her coldly and said, "Miss Xu, with your looks and attire, I'm afraid you're not even worthy of being mocked for your good looks and jewels."
Gu Yao laughed out loud.
What is the most taboo in wars between women?
That means I am prettier than you! And richer than you!
Xu Anyue's face flushed with anger, and she forced herself to say with disdain, "How vulgar! How vulgar! With your background, if it weren't for the engagement, would the Prime Minister even look at you?"
"An Yue, don't speak ill of the Prime Minister." The woman in white spoke softly.
"I know, Sister Qing, you're just too kind. You don't know that Chen Yuan comes from a merchant family. His father once presented a damaged jade vase to the Queen Mother and was exiled to Lingnan. Fortunately, the current emperor was merciful and spared her and her brother's punishment. Otherwise, they would still be digging stones in Lingnan now."
Gu Yao suddenly became angry, slammed the table and pointed at Xu Anyue's nose and said, "Xu Anyue, why don't you say another word?"
Shen Yuan stepped forward to stop Gu Yao, just when everyone thought Shen Yuan was going to settle the matter peacefully.
A shrill scream and a loud slap rang out at the same time.
Xu Anyue covered her face in disbelief, "You dare to hit me?"
Chen Yuan shook her hand, "What if I hit you? You're always using other people's backgrounds to make fun of them, and you keep talking about other people's private affairs. I think you, a girl from the boudoir, are no different from that gossipy woman."
The woman in white stepped forward and looked at Shen Yuan, and said proudly: "Miss Shen, even if An Yue was wrong, you can't hit people casually. Please apologize to An Yue?"
The woman in white covered her face with a veil, so Shen Yuan couldn't see her features clearly, but her eyes revealed arrogance and disdain, which Shen Yuan didn't like very much.
She shook her hands and said bluntly, "You didn't stop her rude remarks just now, and only stood up after watching the hilarious joke. How can you be so righteous?"
Gu Yao burst out laughing. Her sister-in-law was becoming more and more suitable for her.
"Chen Yuan, you bitch! I'm going to teach you a lesson today on behalf of the Prime Minister!" Xu Anyue was also raised in pampered condition. She had never suffered such humiliation before. She raised her hand to hit Chen Yuan.
As soon as he raised his hand, it was grabbed by a strong force.
"I wonder who you want to teach a lesson to for me, Miss Xu?" A cold voice came, unable to tell whether it was happy or angry.
Sanjiu grabbed Xu Anyue's hand and retreated. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Huailing, wearing a dark-patterned long robe, walking towards them.
