Chapter 45 The two looked at each other and saw that he was fat as a ball. They were so scared.
Chen Yuan's unreserved protection and partiality were like a sharp knife piercing Gu Jingchu's heart.
"Heh." Gu Jingchu chuckled softly, looking at Chen Yuan with bloodshot eyes, "Sister-in-law really protects big brother."
Chen Yuan glanced at Gu Jingchu indifferently, her expression as cold and indifferent as Gu Huailing's. "How about I protect you?"
He's asking for death and dragging me along with him. I really want to stab him to death!
The Marquis' wife naturally couldn't stand seeing her son being criticized.
She didn't dare to show off to Gu Huailing, but she was not so polite to Chen Yuan.
"Jingchu just said a few words, daughter-in-law, you are taking it too seriously. Whose new bride would disrupt the meal as soon as she comes home?"
The porcelain spoon tapped with a "ding" sound, and Gu Huailing dropped the spoon in his hand. Everyone looked at him.
Gu Huailing's expression showed no emotion. He pulled Chen Yuan's hand and stood up, intentionally blocking Gu Jingchu's gaze.
He looked at the Marquis' wife with an absolutely strong and protective attitude, "My wife, please don't bother with me."
He used the word "this official" and everyone's faces changed.
Gu Huailing firmly grasped Shen Yuan's hand in his palm, and glanced at Lord Gu and his wife, "From now on, just follow what A Yuan said. There is no need to inform Shen Du Yuan of any family banquets."
After saying that, he looked at Madam Hou and said respectfully, "Grandma, your grandson and granddaughter-in-law will go back first."
Gu Huailing held Chen Yuan's hand tightly all the way.
The temperature from her palm was warm and dry. Shen Yuan glanced at Gu Huailing and asked, "Master, do you not blame me for disrupting the family dinner?"
The moonlight shone on the two of them. Gu Huailing's voice was cold but gentle, "Thank you, Madam, for protecting me like this."
He was so serious that Shen Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
"Sir, please go back to your room first. I have something to do." As soon as he returned to Shen Duyuan, Chen Yuan found an excuse to slip away.
When Chen Yuan came back, he had a small white porcelain cup in his hand.
She looked at Gu Huailing and walked over quickly, the smile on her face brighter than the hibiscus in the garden, "My lord, why are you outside?"
Gu Huailing lowered his eyes to look at the porcelain cup in her hand, "What are you doing?"
The two sat down on the steps. Chen Yuan opened the lid of the porcelain cup like presenting a treasure, and a sweet sweet osmanthus fragrance wafted out.
Inside lies a round, milky white dumpling sprinkled with golden cinnamon.
Chen Yuan handed the porcelain cup to Gu Huailing, "If others have it, we adults should have it too."
Gu Huailing took the porcelain cup. He usually showed no emotion on his face, but at this moment his hands were trembling slightly.
Chen Yuan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Huailing expectantly, "Sir, please try it. I even added osmanthus honey to it."
A mixture of bitterness and warmth entangled his chest. Gu Huailing nodded and ate the dumplings carefully.
Chen Yuan held her chin and looked at the sea of hibiscus flowers in front of her. She felt that she had done it and was living a good life every day.
Inside the room, Chen Yuan sat on the bed, listening to the sound of running water, glancing behind the screen from time to time.
How should she tell Gu Huailing that her waist and legs are in severe pain and she wants to sleep alone tonight?
Footsteps were heard, and Gu Huailing came out wearing only his undershirt. He looked at the person with a wrinkled face on the bed, reached out and hugged him in his arms.
Gu Huailing lowered his chin, placed his hands on her lower back and rubbed it gently, "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
The soreness in her waist was relieved, and Shen Yuan leaned forward to look at him, "Sir, I want to rest early tonight."
"good."
After getting the consent, Shen Yuan was still a little worried. She took a pillow and placed it between the two of them, and instructed: "Master, you are not allowed to cross the pillow."
......
Gu Huailing looked at the pillow meaningfully for a while, then raised his hand to pick it up and threw it aside, then took Chen Yuan into his arms.
Shen Yuan moved uncomfortably a few times.
Gu Huailing's voice was slightly hoarse, and he lowered his voice to murmur in Shen Yuan's ear: "Yaoyao, if you move again, you won't be able to sleep."
......
When Chen Yuan woke up, it was already daybreak.
She didn't need to visit her every morning and evening, thinking that Gu Huailing had to get up at dawn to attend court.
I suddenly sighed that being the Prime Minister was not that easy.
During breakfast, Gu Yao, who had disappeared for many days, finally showed up.
Chen Yuan was drinking black chicken soup when Gu Yao came over with shining eyes.
She first pinched her chin, looked at Shen Yuan like a gangster, then lowered her voice and said slyly:
"Sister-in-law, drink black chicken soup early in the morning. It seems that the wedding gift I gave you should be very useful."
Chen Yuan choked on a mouthful of chicken soup and ignored her with a red face.
Gu Yao looked at the overly bright and charming look on Chen Yuan's face and moved a little closer.
"I'll make a few more beautiful ones for my sister-in-law later, and try to charm my brother to death..."
She was so outspoken that Shen Yuan picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
Gu Yao stiffened her neck, swallowed the bun, and banged Shen Yuan's arm with her elbow, "Seriously, sister-in-law, is it very effective?"
Shen Yuan naturally wouldn't answer her.
She changed the subject, "I want to reopen the Shen's Jade Shop. If you have nothing to do today, accompany me to the East Market to choose a shop."
When she heard about choosing a shop, Gu Yao became excited.
East Market, Yuyang Street.
Almost all the famous shops in the capital are here.
For convenience, Chen Yuan and Gu Yao both dressed as men.
Two handsome young men with handsome faces walked gracefully on Yuyang Street.
Gu Yao looked at the jade shops on both sides of the street and asked, "Sister-in-law, Big Brother has so many shops. Why don't we just pick one and renovate it? Why bother coming out all the way to choose a shop?"
"Your brother is the Prime Minister. If someone knows that I'm out doing business, it will bring him trouble."
After walking around for a while, they finally found a quiet shop in a busy city with a sign saying "Room for rent" hanging on it.
Chen Yuan looked around. The shop was spacious, with a carved wooden door. It was located at a three-way intersection. It was a rare shop.
The shop was deserted. A tidy man about thirty years old was standing there with a blank look in his eyes.
Shen Yuan walked in, looked at the man and asked, "Boss, is this shop still available for rent?"
The man looked at the person who came and nodded.
After negotiations between the two parties, Chen Yuan readily paid the rent and signed the deed.
"Get out of the way, Mr. Chen, why haven't you moved out yet? Are you looking for death?" An arrogant and domineering voice came in.
A group of servants surrounded a fat man in brocade clothes covered with gold ornaments, and rushed in rudely.
Shopkeeper Chen looked at the man with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Du Yuanbao raised his chin towards Chen Yuan and the others in a haughty manner, "Where did you come from, you pretty boy? Get out of here!"
Chen Yuan picked up the deed in his hand and said, "Sir, we have already rented the shop. If you want to leave," Chen Yuan paused and looked him up and down, "it's easier to leave with a ball."
"Hahaha. I'm talking to you, ball, get out of here!" Gu Yao almost couldn't stand up straight with laughter. Her sister-in-law's description was so appropriate!
Du Yuanbao's face turned pale with anger. He pointed at the two men and ordered the servant beside him, "Keep an eye on these two pretty boys. Don't let them get away. I'll deal with them after I close the shop!"
Du Yuanbao stepped forward and slammed a brocade box onto the table. "Mr. Chen, how dare you sell me inferior goods? If you don't want to face legal trouble, just hand over your shop."
"To tell you the truth, my third uncle is the current Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was promoted by the current Prime Minister, Lord Gu. If you don't hand over the shop, I will make you pay for it."
He turned his fat body towards Chen Yuan and Gu Yao, clenched his fist and pointed his thumb at his face, "And you two, I'll see if I can't kill you!"
.......
One is the wife of the Prime Minister, the other is the sister of the Prime Minister.
The two looked at each other and were so scared~
