Chapter 69: Suspicion, the Prime Minister starts to play ostrich
"Do you think I don't dare?" Gu Huailing's eyes were dark, like a giant beast frozen under a glacier.
The air was filled with murderous intent.
"Kill?" Gu Jingchu's voice was hoarse, and his long-lasting anger and unwillingness burst out in an instant!
"I'm the legitimate son of the Marquis's family, yet I've lived in your shadow for decades. When people mention the Gu family, they only know you, Gu Huailing. Who knows me, Gu Jingchu?"
"I'm angry but I've also figured it out. I don't want anything anymore! I only want Yuan'er. Why are you taking away the person I love the most?"
The sound of breaking was like a bloody barb, echoing over and over again in the silent study.
Gu Huailing stared at Gu Jingchu coldly, "I'll give you everything that belongs to the Gu family, but I'll take back your love for it."
He loosened his grip inch by inch, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our brotherhood."
Gu Jingchu let out a bitter whimper, his knees weakened and he fell to the ground.
Gu Huailing put away the scroll on the table and walked out.
"Big brother."
The moment Gu Huailing stepped out of the door, Gu Jingchu suddenly called him.
Gu Huailing didn't look back.
Gu Jingchu murmured, "What if Yuan'er is actually my wife?"
The energy and blood that had just been suppressed surged up again. Gu Huailing tightly grasped the scroll in his hand and strode out.
The study fell into complete silence.
Gu Jingchu began to laugh wildly, and after the laughter came the heavy, suffocating silence.
It was clearly him who stole his wife.
If someone like Gu Huailing knew that Yuan'er was once his wife.
Could they still treat each other as equals? Could they still be affectionate under his nose every day?
Gu Jingchu slowly closed his eyes.
He thought about the appearance of Shen Yuan in his previous life and said bitterly: "Yuan'er, don't force me."
Gu Huailing returned to Shen Du Yuan with a bruised face.
Shen Yuan was startled and walked over quickly, "Sir, what happened to your face?"
Gu Huailing's face was extremely cold.
The moment he saw Chen Yuan, he forced himself to suppress his emotions. He said softly, "It was an accidental collision. Madam, don't worry. I have some government affairs to deal with in the study first."
?
Chen Yuan had a face full of question marks. Was her face full of "I'm easy to fool?"
How could his face be hit? He was clearly hit!
The Prime Minister? Who dares to hit him?
Could it be that he angered the emperor?
That’s not right. The emperor won’t do it himself, and he won’t hit you in the face with a stick.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing's back, his brows furrowed deeply.
It was getting dark.
In the study, Gu Huailing sat alone in front of the desk, his eyes dark as he stared at the painting in front of him, maintaining the same posture.
His expression was cold and without any warmth.
Thinking of Gu Jingchu’s words, what if Yuan’er is my wife?
Why did he say that?
In Gu Jingchu's study, he was so overwhelmed by anger that he didn't look at the painting carefully.
It is true that this painting was drawn by Gu Jingchu himself, but it is not the kind of functional painting he draws now.
And there is A Yuan. During the Lantern Festival, why did she know in advance that the Fourth Prince was going to attack Yao'er, and even set up the trap in advance, waiting for people to jump in?
He has always had a good understanding of the affairs of the court, but at this moment he was in a trance and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
This is not Gu Huailing's fault. Even though he is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge and can make things happen with a wave of his hand, he would never have thought that Chen Yuan and Gu Jingchu were both reborn people.
There was a noise outside the door, and Sanjiu's voice was heard outside.
"Madam, the master is handling official business and has instructed that no one should disturb him."
Chen Yuan raised her eyes to look at the closed door, then shifted her gaze to Sanjiu's face, "I can't go in either?"
Sanjiu nodded, looking embarrassed.
Taozi suddenly became angry. She glared at Sanjiu, "Do you have a pig brain? The master ordered that people like you and me not to disturb him, and you actually stopped even the wife!"
"Shut up." Chen Yuan handed the lunch box to Sanjiu, but spoke to the study, "I know your Excellency is busy with official duties. Please take the lunch box to your Excellency and remind him to eat on time."
After saying this, Chen Yuan did not stay any longer and turned to leave.
Gu Huailing opened the lunch box, which contained a bowl of fragrant bone soup noodles and two plates of refreshing side dishes.
There was also a bottle of healing medicine next to it.
Gu Huailing picked up the golden wound medicine.
After a long while, he called Sanjiu over and said, "Go to Wanfo Temple and see if Master Tingquan has returned from his travels. Then tell him that I have something I need his help with."
"Also, have someone keep an eye on Gu Jingchu... and... his wife."
After Shen Yuan returned, she thought for a long time before raising her hand to call Taozi over. "Taozi, go and find out if the Prime Minister has been to Ronghui Courtyard today, how long he's been there, and what he did."
If my guess is correct, it must be that idiot Gu Jingchu who did something stupid again and implicated me.
Sure enough, when Taozi came back, she confirmed her guess.
"Miss, the Prime Minister really went to Ronghui Courtyard today. It seems that he stayed there for the whole afternoon. After the prince came back, I don't know what happened between the two of them in the study."
"Miss, what happened? I see you don't look well."
Shen Yuan was silent.
She also couldn't imagine, given Gu Huailing's temper, what had happened to make him attack Gu Jingchu.
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it.
If he took his anger out on her because of that idiot Gu Jingchu, there was nothing she could do.
That's because he can't tell right from wrong!
Chen Yuan took off his coat and said, "Get some water to wash up. The master will probably stay in the study today. Go and take his bedding over."
Late at night, Gu Huailing stood in front of Shen Yuan's bed, looking at Shen Yuan's sleeping face, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.
He murmured in a low voice: "Yuan'er, what are you hiding from me?"
After a good sleep, Chen Yuan felt much better.
Her good mood lasted until after breakfast, when Gu Jingchu sent someone to deliver a note.
Shen Yuan looked at the note and her eyelids twitched.
She even wanted to kill someone!
That idiot Gu Huailing actually drew a picture of him and himself hugging each other in their previous life!
and!
The painting was also seen by Gu Huailing!
Chen Yuan was almost furious and rushed into Zhimei Building.
Zhimei Building was booked by Gu Jingchu today, and there were guards inside and outside the building.
Inside the private room, the dining table was filled with a large amount of food, all of which were Shen Yuan’s favorite dishes.
But she had no time to care about these.
She stared at Gu Jingchu fiercely, "Gu Jingchu, can you use some brains when doing things? Who asked you to draw that picture?"
Gu Jingchu's expression was indifferent. "I can't control myself."
"If you can't control yourself, die!"
A trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, "Yuan'er, you eat first, and these are your favorites. Didn't you complain to me before that I didn't accompany you to eat lotus cake? I've reserved the entire Zhimeilou restaurant today, you can eat as much as you want."
"Yuan'er, don't be so defensive towards me. I just feel like I owe you so much, and I just want to be nice to you."
Shen Yuan got angry when she heard him speak.
"If I want to eat, my husband will buy it for me. Don't overstep your bounds. If you really want to do good for me, then you should light three sticks of incense every day and kneel before the Buddha to pray for a smooth life for me. Don't make things difficult for me all day long."
"Can you please sit down and eat first? Yuan'er, we haven't had a meal together for a long time. I miss you very much." Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan's cheek with a gentle tone.
Chen Yuan finally couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and suddenly exerted force to overturn the soup on the table.
Gu Jingchu's face darkened...
