Chapter 50 I Hate Purple the Most
Gu Jingchu suddenly regretted bringing Chen Yuan here and regretted helping Chen Yuan see her own heart clearly.
He was unwilling to accept that she was obviously his wife, but she showed such an expression for another man.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp knife, and at this moment, Gu Jingchu felt suffocated.
It was a feeling so painful that it was hard to describe.
Gu Jingchu looked at the woman in front of him, hardened his heart and said:
"Yuan'er, do you regret marrying my elder brother so hastily?"
"I've told you before that my brother is not capable of love."
"Do you know why Miss Nanshu hasn't been in the capital in the past few years? My eldest brother is trying to protect her."
"Gu Huailing's every move affects the entire situation of Dajin. During his years as Prime Minister, he has countless political enemies. If you truly love someone, you won't put her in danger."
His words were like a dense net that entangled Shen Yuan.
There's no way to hide or escape.
In the private room, Nan Shuqing took off her veil. She looked at Gu Huailing, and her eyes unconsciously revealed admiration.
Gu Huailing's face was dull, and he tapped the table with his fingertips. "Did you find anything?"
"I have found the whereabouts of that person. Sir, please give me some more time and I will find out everything clearly." Nan Shuqing said softly.
"If I remember correctly, it has been three years. You should know that I do not keep any idle people under my command." Gu Huailing knocked his finger bones heavily.
The pressure was like a mountain, and Nan Shuqing felt as if someone was strangling his neck, and even breathing was a little difficult.
She stood up and stepped forward, "Please, Your Excellency, give me some more time."
Gu Huailing raised his eyelids, his dark eyes filled with indifference. "The last six months."
Nan Shuqing quickly responded.
"Step back." Gu Huailing said calmly.
After saying that, he instructed the secret guard beside him, "Ask the kitchen to make some lotus cakes. Madam loves them."
Nan Shuqing listened to Gu Huailing's tone. It was still as cold, but she could hear a hint of tenderness.
Why?
Why can Chen Yuan get the love of adults without doing anything, while she gets nothing?
Gu Huailing raised his eyes and glanced at her, his meaning was very clear, he was dissatisfied with her staying.
Nan Shuqing panicked and his sleeve swept over a cup of tea on the table.
The tea spilled all over Gu Huailing's clothes. Nan Shuqing's face turned pale and he said hurriedly, "My lord, I didn't mean to do that."
She took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe Gu Huailing, but was stopped by the secret guard the next moment.
Gu Huailing looked at her calmly, "When you see Ayuan in the future, put away those little thoughts of yours that are not presentable."
Nan Shuqing bit her lip, put away the handkerchief with tears in her eyes, and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, Shuqing will abide by his duties in the future."
After Nan Shuqing left, Gu Huailing looked at his robe, frowned, and ordered the secret guard, "Bring me a new set of clothes."
Chen Yuan didn't know how long she had been standing there. She looked at Nan Shuqing coming out in a daze, and then looked at Gu Huailing coming out in a daze.
When she saw Gu Huailing coming out, her pupils suddenly shrank. He was clearly wearing purple clothes when he went in, but now he was wearing black clothes when he came out.
Chen Yuan felt her mind went blank. Perhaps because the sunlight was too bright, her eyes felt a little sore.
In a trance, she remembered asking Gu Huailing why he wanted to marry her.
He said it was because she was of the right status.
My chest felt like it was blocked by something, and I couldn't even breathe.
Yes, Gu Huailing married her simply because he was suitable for her, but she wanted more as they spent time together day after day.
Chen Yuan bit her lower lip tightly, feeling an unprecedented fatigue and exhaustion.
I have never experienced this feeling in my previous life.
Chen Yuan seemed to have lost all his strength. He turned around numbly, wanting to leave this place quickly.
At this moment, Gu Jingchu grabbed her wrist bone.
Chen Yuan had no strength to struggle. With red eyes, she looked at Gu Jingchu and said coldly, "Let go."
Gu Jingchu's face was also covered with a layer of cold light, lonely and gloomy, "Yuan'er, you have only been married to my eldest brother for a short time, don't tell me that you like her."
Gu Jingchu's words made Shen Yuan regain his sanity.
She pulled her wrist out of Gu Jingchu's hand and looked at him, "He is my husband, it's natural for me to like him."
"He's your husband, but what about me? Yuan'er, you've been married to him for less than three months, but what about me? You've been married to me for twenty years."
Gu Jingchu had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He finally realized his feelings for Shen Yuan, but it was too late.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingchu as if he were a stranger. "They say everything is just a dream. It's time for Prince Gu to wake up."
"But you don't mind that Big Brother doesn't love you? What did he and Nan Shuqing do in there just now? They even changed their clothes, and you pretended not to see it? Yuan'er, aren't you the most intolerant person?"
Gu Jingchu closed his eyes and suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind.
"Whether I accept it or not has nothing to do with the prince. No matter what the lord says, I will do my duty as a wife."
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he walked forward weakly.
Gu Jingchu looked at her somewhat tired figure and finally did not stop her.
It doesn’t matter. His Yuan’er just forgot that she loved him. He will make her remember it again.
After returning home, Gu Huailing, who had not stepped into the bedroom for four days, was now sitting at the table making tea himself. There was a stack of lotus cakes on the table.
His hands were very beautiful, long and thin, with white joints.
Any action is a pleasure to perform.
As soon as Shen Yuan came back, she saw this scene. She quickly gathered her emotions and said in a normal voice, "Sir, you are back?"
Her face was a little pale, and Gu Huailing could tell something was wrong at a glance.
"Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Yuan rubbed his face and swallowed all the questions in his mind.
What right did she have to ask him?
She had agreed to marry him in the first place because she wanted Gu Huailing to help her parents overturn the verdict.
And marrying him would be like marrying above her station in every way.
How could she ask Gu Huailing for anything else?
She herself felt that she didn't have the face to do so.
Shen Yuan rubbed his face, "Really? Maybe it's because the sun is too strong outside."
Gu Huailing remained calm and pulled her in front of him. "Have a cup of freshly brewed bamboo leaf tea to cool off."
Chen Yuan blinked his eyes, forced back the bitter taste, picked up the cup beside him, and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Huailing looked at the cup of tea she drank, and a layer of mist slowly gathered in his dark eyes.
A Yuan was hiding something from him.
This realization made Gu Huailing extremely unhappy.
Shen Yuan put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Gu Huailing and asked, "Sir, are you not handling official business today?"
Gu Huailing took out a box containing hairpins and pushed it in front of Chen Yuan, "Madam, open it and take a look."
Chen Yuan took the box and opened it. Inside lay a hibiscus hairpin carved from purple jade.
Chen Yuan looked at the color and thought of Nan Shuqing who was wearing light purple today.
His hand felt as if it were burned, and he pushed the box over. "I hate purple the most."
