Chapter 33 Haven’t you heard that alcohol makes people brave?
His face was a little dull, without any unnecessary expression. Few people in the Golden Palace dared to look directly at his aura, let alone a girl in the boudoir.
Xu Anyue was shaking all over.
"Miss Xu hasn't answered me yet. How did our A Yuan offend Miss Xu and make her hit her?"
Xu Anyue was feeling very upset. Her face was so swollen, couldn't the Prime Minister see it?
She just raised her hand and didn't hit her.
She bit her lip to defend herself, "It was Chen Yuan who hit me first, and Gu Yao kept scolding me, so I couldn't help but hit her. Sister Qing can prove it for me."
Nan Shuqing's eyes had been following Gu Huailing since he came. Upon hearing the words, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to Gu Huailing. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Gu Huailing speak softly.
"Our Ayuan and Yaoer are the best behaved. They would never hit anyone without a reason." His low voice was filled with chilliness and unconditional partiality, shocking everyone present.
Chen Yuan raised her hand and slapped her, and Gu Yao pointed at her nose and scolded her, saying, "This is the best behavior!"
Does he have any misunderstanding about being good?
Xu Anyue was very angry, her eyes red with anger. She wanted to step forward to argue but was grabbed by Nan Shuqing. "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is absolutely right. It was my fault that I didn't stop Anyue. I am also responsible for this matter."
Gu Huailing didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Anyue, "Miss Xu hasn't answered my question yet. If Miss Xu can't answer, I don't mind going to talk to Master Xu in person."
Xu Anyue was utterly frustrated. If her father knew she had offended the Prime Minister, he would definitely beat her to death. She bit her lip and said unwillingly, "I was impulsive and provoked him first. Then I was ready to take action."
"Then apologize." Gu Huailing's tone left no room for negotiation.
"I'm sorry, Prime Minister. I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken action."
Gu Huailing glanced at Shen Yuan, who was standing aside with her head down and silent, "Miss Xu shouldn't have apologized to me."
Xu Anyue gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Chen, Miss Gu, I'm sorry. I was rude. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he stomped his feet and ran out crying!
Nan Shuqing stepped forward with a smile, his eyes filled with generosity and tolerance, "Master Prime Minister, An Yue is ignorant and I will definitely give her a warning when I get back."
Gu Huailing glanced at her and his tone softened. "When did you return to Beijing?"
There are not many people who can make Gu Huailing soften his tone. Chen Yuan looked up, then lowered his head again, feeling bitter in his heart.
"I returned the day before yesterday, but my adoptive father detained me at the academy to sort out ancient books, so I was unable to visit Madam Gu at her residence. I hope the Prime Minister will not blame me."
"No problem."
"Seven days from now, my adoptive father will hold a spring banquet in the mountains behind the academy. I hope the Prime Minister will do me the honor of attending."
Gu Huailing nodded in agreement.
Nan Shuqing walked up to Chen Yuan and Gu Yao again and said, "My two sisters are here too, so it's a good opportunity for us to keep each other company."
Nan Shuqing thought Shen Yuan would refuse, but unexpectedly she agreed.
After saying that, Gu Huailing took Chen Yuan's hand and walked out as if no one was around.
Nan Shuqing watched the two of them leave with a smile in his eyes, but he quietly clenched his hands hanging by his side.
The black wooden carriage stopped there quietly. Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing with a cold face, unable to figure out what he was thinking.
Before getting on the carriage, Gu Huailing let go of her hand.
I guess it’s because he doesn’t want to travel with me.
Shen Yuan knew he was wrong but didn't get angry. He tried to save face by saying, "You guys take the carriage. I can walk faster than you."
Gu Huailing gave her a cold look and said meaningfully, "It's quite fast. You can walk back from outside the city by yourself. If you don't know me, you'd think you're Kuafu."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth when he realized something was wrong.
Gu Yao was so tired from trying to hold back her laughter that her stomach ached. She reached out and pushed Chen Yuan toward the carriage, "Sister-in-law, get on quickly. Didn't you realize that Big Brother came specially to pick you up?"
Inside the carriage, Shen Yuan sat there quietly, his back straight, more well-behaved than ever before.
Gu Huailing flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, but his eyes stopped on Shen Yuan's face.
Did he not sit properly enough and offend the adults? Shen Yuan adjusted his sitting posture again, straightening his back even more.
Gu Huailing almost laughed out of anger, but he was used to hiding his emotions and just looked away from Chen Yuan's face.
Neither of them spoke until the carriage stopped. Gu Huailing put down the book in his hand and looked at Chen Yuan, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Shen Yuan pointed at himself and asked, "Can I say it?"
Gu Huailing nodded. He wanted to hear how Shen Yuan would explain to him.
Chen Yuan had been holding it in all the way, and now she looked at Gu Huailing cautiously, then glanced at the books on the low table, "Sir, you've been holding the books upside down all the way. Aren't you tired of reading?"
Immediately, Shen Yuan was kicked off the carriage.
After returning, Chen Yuan began to complain to Taozi, "You really don't understand his expression, as if I had committed an unforgivable crime."
Taozi pinched herself hard to stop herself from laughing. She looked at Chen Yuan helplessly, "Miss, the Prime Minister has been waiting for your explanation all this way, and in the end you just said you held the book upside down. How can the Prime Minister not be angry?"
Chen Yuan actually wanted to explain, but Gu Huailing left without saying a word yesterday, and she retreated again after mustering up the courage she had finally mustered.
After a day, she didn't know how to start.
She and Gu Jingchu were both reborn? Gu Jingchu used the death of Chen Zhao in his previous life to trick her into going outside the city?
If that happened, Gu Huailing would probably think she was crazy.
"Miss, you should find time to explain to the Lord. You don't know that everyone advised the Lord to go back that day, but the Lord waited until you came back for your sake. I can see that the Prime Minister is sincere to you."
Because she knew the sincerity, Chen Yuan was so upset. Suddenly, she thought of something and said to Taozi, "After noon tomorrow, go find Gu Yao."
Taozi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She didn't think that her daughter and Miss Gu could come up with any good ideas together.
But I could only follow orders and ask for help.
The next day, Gu Yao looked at the dozens of drinks in front of her and her eyes almost popped out of her head in shock.
"Sister-in-law, are you really going to get yourself drunk and send yourself to my brother's bed?"
Chen Yuan glared at her. "Haven't you heard that alcohol makes people brave? I was planning to pretend to be drunk to explain to your brother."
"Tsk." Gu Yao crossed her arms and said with disdain: "Why go through so much trouble? You just hold my brother and nibble on him a few times, that would be more useful than anything else."
Chen Yuan had been with Gu Yao for a long time, and her face had become thicker by the second. "Just shut up and tell me whether you will help or not!"
Gu Yao's eyes turned, and she said with great loyalty: "Help, I must help!"
Chen Yuan asked her to secretly put her into the eldest brother's room, create the illusion that he was drunk, and then explain to him.
Little did they know that without their brother's approval, not even a fly could fly into Shenduyuan.
My sister-in-law will never come back tonight, like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!
Gu Yao stared at Chen Yuan's soft and white cheeks, thinking they were so beautiful. She had already begun to envy her elder brother, as he was so lucky.
