"..." Gu Qingfeng was surprised, he had never heard Chang'an mention it before, "You have met only a few times, and you had never even met before the incident in the boudoir.
Why...will you agree?"
"Sir, do you want me to agree or not?" Bei Mingxuan asked, "If my answer is different from what you wish, what will you do?"
Gu Qingfeng was silent.
Bei Mingxuan curled the corners of his lips, with a hint of curiosity hidden deep in his eyes.
"Chang'an said that she only wanted to use my mansion to avoid all the troubles and didn't want to be used by others.
And she promised that if I ever find a woman I like in the future, she will definitely leave and never bother me.
Seeing that Gu Qingfeng still had no intention of speaking, he continued, "My mansion is not a place to hide away from the world. It is clearly the gateway to the game."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Bei Mingxuan, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"She's quite the busy girl. My husband was sick this morning and didn't go to the front hall. He missed it. That girl is so clever."
Bei Mingxuan smiled, "With her around, it will be hard for me to feel lonely in the future."
Gu Qingfeng suddenly looked up at Bei Mingxuan, then glanced at his daughter who was concentrating on making a snowman in the yard.
I wondered what to do if Chang'an fell in love with me during the days we spent together.
If Bei Mingxuan succeeds in his great cause, he will be surrounded by beauties in the harem; if he fails, he will be torn to pieces.
Especially the man in front of me is so outstanding and handsome.
Gu Qingfeng was unsure, "You and I have known each other for several years, in the future... you, no matter what the situation is.
If you don't intend to love him, then don't let her fall in love with you."
Bei Mingxuan did not speak immediately. He turned his head and glanced at Chang'an. She must have heard every word of his conversation with Gu Qingfeng.
Although except for the first sentence, he used internal sound transmission so that Chang'an could hear it.
But later he still believed in Chang'an. Since she chose to stay, she naturally had to listen. With her internal strength, it would be effortless for her to hear.
"Sir, you're overestimating me." Bei Mingxuan waved his hand, and the black and white pieces on the chessboard blended together. He felt a little confused. "What if... she falls in love with me?"
This is what Gu Qingfeng fears the most. "If Chang'an is moved, you still don't love her. If Chang'an is moved, you are already tired of her. Please don't tell Chang'an, don't make her sad, tell me... I will take her away."
Bei Mingxuan was stunned and said that whoever Gu Qingfeng didn't care about her daughter, Gu Qingfeng loved his daughter to the bone.
"Why don't you ask why I dragged Chang'an into this? Don't blame me?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled indifferently, "I understand my daughter, maybe you said something or did something.
But the final decision is made by Chang'an herself. If she doesn't want to, you can't pull her away.
Just like all these years, no one could bully her unless she was willing.
Chang'an's counterattack now is because she feels disappointed. The person she has always treated sincerely wants to bully her, deceive her, and harm her.
She is very similar to Qiuya. If someone treats her well, she will repay them tenfold. If someone bullies her, she will spend her entire life making sure they suffer."
"Haha, if she really means it," Bei Mingxuan joked, "then my family will be worshipping an ancestor, and I won't dare to offend him in the slightest."
Gu Qingfeng smiled, "Chang'an seems to be making a snowman, let's go take a look."
Bei Mingxuan pushed Gu Qingfeng's wooden chair and walked out the door. "Mr. loves his daughter deeply. Why did you claim to be sick and not come this morning?"
Gu Qingfeng took the wine that Bei Mingye brought and drank it in one gulp. There was an indelible look of helplessness in the corners of his eyes. "What will happen if she goes? In the end, she needs to face it herself."
The two walked towards Chang'an. Although the snowman in her hand was not big, it looked very happy.
"Dad." Chang'an smiled, "Is this snowman beautiful?"
As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on the snowman, "Does it look like a daughter?"
"I've never seen you so playful." Gu Qingfeng smiled and glanced at his roof.
Bei Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Chang'an frowned slightly, thinking that his attention was all on the conversation between Bei Mingxuan and his father, and he didn't even notice when a person appeared on the roof.
"Meng Tan." Gu Qingfeng shouted towards the house, "Bring out a cloak for the young lady."
Meng Tan came out and said, "Master, should we kill that man or let him go? He just came and didn't hear anything."
"Is he his man?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
"Yes." Meng Tan said, "In fact, it has been many years. This person has not appeared for a long time. I wonder what news he suddenly came to the master today to inquire about."
Gu Qingfeng smiled, making the people on the roof look like they were still chatting and laughing. "Just pretend you don't know. Let him do whatever he wants."
"Do you come here often?" Bei Mingxuan was surprised. He didn't know that there was someone monitoring Gu Qingfeng in this general's mansion.
"Now, he doesn't come here often." Meng Tan replied, "He used to come quite often. In the early years, after my master was sent back by the emperor's men, he started to target him.
It was noticed for about five or six years.
Maybe I finally felt relieved, so I stopped. I just didn’t expect it to happen again today.”
Bei Mingxuan was suspicious, "Gu Qingyun's people?"
Meng Tan's tone was calm and he didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
Gu Qingfeng patted his legs with a wry smile on his face, "We are from the same roots. I'm afraid I came here today because of Chang'an."
Chang'an thought of what Wanxin said. Fushengmen found out that the Battle of Junhai was caused by his uncle's secret collusion with the enemy.
Looking at my father's reaction now, I believe he also knows about this matter.
"What are you thinking about?" Bei Mingxuan didn't know what Chang'an was thinking.
"Nothing." Chang'an asked, "Did the prince leave after lunch?"
"Lunch?" Bei Mingxuan seemed to be in a good mood. "No need to wait until lunch. After you left, he didn't even bother to find a reason and left the general's mansion directly.
You didn't see at the time that the old general's face was so ugly that it was beyond words."
"Your grandfather has no other choice." Gu Qingfeng said, "If there was a way, he would not allow any daughter of our Gu family to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion, even if he could really sit on the throne of the emperor in the future.
At that time, the Emperor was worried that your grandfather would not agree, so he did not issue an imperial decree directly, but instead discussed it with your uncle. However, your uncle made his own decision, so he agreed directly after the Emperor granted the marriage.
Chang'an was disdainful, even a little gloating, "It was all caused by the military power, and now the retribution is on his own daughter. It's really a crime he brought upon himself."
"Even so," Bei Mingxuan asked, "Logically speaking, with the old general's prestige, it wouldn't be impossible for him to refuse again."
Changan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, Bei Mingxuan, would also be confused sometimes?"
