Chapter 114: Despicable and shameless
Jiang Shuyi had just said in front of her aunt that she would live happily, but now she couldn't help but wanted to cry again.
I feel sorry for my aunt. She is such a good person, why is there no one who loves her?
She tried hard to hold back her tears and said angrily, "Since you know you are sorry, don't pretend to come to pay your respects in the future! My aunt doesn't want to see you!"
Gu Hanqing wiped her tears with her sleeves and looked at Jiang Shuyi with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, I know you blame your grandparents, but please don't stop my father from coming to pay homage. I don't know if my aunt has mentioned it to the queen. They have a very good relationship between brothers and sisters. Since my father has found a way to settle down, he has been looking for my aunt everywhere. When he heard that my aunt had passed away, he fainted on the spot. It has been a whole year now, and he is still bedridden and can't even get out of bed to pay homage to my aunt..."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Shuyi also remembered something.
My aunt never mentioned anything about her family, but she had a well-preserved longevity lock. One time, she was naughty and found it while rummaging through my aunt's box and cupboard, and put it around her neck. When my aunt saw it, her eyes turned red, and she told me that it was given to her by her brother when she was sold, and she was asked to keep it, and sell it when she grew up and wanted to redeem herself.
However, the lock was only coated with a layer of gold paint. The matchmaker didn't take it seriously when she found it, and later gave it to my aunt as a burial object.
Jiang Shuyi was in tears.
Fang Chu saw that Cheng Fu had no intention of caring and was just listening carefully, waiting for him to complain, so she had to go forward to comfort him.
Gu Hanqing couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two cried for a long time before Jiang Shuyi finally stopped crying and said to him in a sobbing voice: "If you curse your grandparents a few times, I will let you and your uncle pay homage!"
Gu Hanqing cried and hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head: "Mother, please forgive me... Grandpa and grandma are very good to me, I have no right to say they are wrong, but they are sorry to my aunt, so whatever you say to me is reasonable, cousin, go ahead and scold me!"
Jiang Shuyi was so angry that she kicked him on the leg.
Gu Hanqing burst into tears and raised his head to accept it: "As long as my cousin allows my father to come back to pay respect after he recovers, you can beat me any way you want!"
Jiang Shuyi kicked him twice more in anger, but seeing that he was enduring it obediently, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she wiped away her tears, bent down and supported him.
This should be one of the relics that her aunt doesn't hate...
Gu Hanqing stood up, and the two of them looked at each other with tearful eyes, each looking at their blood-related relatives through each other.
"Jiang Shuyi."
A deep voice suddenly came, interrupting the two people's gaze.
Jiang Shuyi hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pei Yan who had arrived at some point and was standing not far away, looking at her and her hands with a cold expression.
Jiang Shuyi was still supporting Gu Hanqing.
She was afraid that Pei Yan would be jealous, so she quickly let go of her hand and walked towards him quickly to hug his arm.
Pei Yan dodged it and glanced at her hand with cold eyes: "It's dirty, wash it before touching me."
Jiang Shuyi froze for a moment: "What?"
She raised her hand but it stopped in mid-air, her face full of hurt and disbelief: "I'm dirty?"
Without even asking what happened, you insult her like this?
"Everything you touch is dirty."
Pei Yan didn't know what right she had to feel wronged, but looking at her broken eyes, and her red eyes that had just been crying in front of others, while he felt furious, he still couldn't bear to deliberately hurt her feelings with words.
After Pei Yan finished speaking, he grabbed Jiang Shuyi's hand, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped her delicate, white fingers.
Jiang Shuyi knew that he didn't scold her, so she felt better, but it hurt a little, so she hurriedly explained with a voice that still had some tears in it: "That's my cousin, my aunt's nephew. If you don't believe me, ask Cheng Fu..."
Pei Yan didn't say anything and continued to wipe her fingers until Cheng Fu came forward and reported every conversation between Jiang Shuyi and the man who was suspected to be a lecher.
After listening to this, Pei Yan relaxed his strength slightly, wiped the back of Jiang Shuyi's hand twice, and threw the handkerchief away.
"If he says he is your cousin, do you believe him?"
He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Shuyi, questioning her: "Your mother's surname is Gu. As long as you are interested, you can find out with a little inquiry. Aren't you afraid that she is someone with ulterior motives and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to harm you?"
Jiang Shuyi wanted to say that with Cheng Fu and the secret guards in the dark, what could her cousin do to her? Before she could say anything, Gu Hanqing came over and asked in a daze.
"Please... may I ask who you are, Excellency?"
My cousin entered the palace and became a royal consort. What man dared to treat my cousin like this? Judging from her demeanor, she seemed like a royal descendant. But Your Majesty is well-known for his diligence and wisdom. How could he leave his busy schedule and accompany my sister out of the palace to pay respect to my aunt? Could it be a guard, or a prince...
Many thoughts of killing the entire clan flashed through Gu Hanqing's mind, and he felt a chill on his neck.
It was at this time that he remembered to ask: "Cousin, are you the eldest cousin or the second cousin?"
It seems that both cousins have entered the palace...
Jiang Shuyi was forcefully pressed into Pei Yan's arms, and she did not forget to turn her head and tell him: "Your second cousin died not long ago."
Gu Hanqing was struck by lightning. He looked miserable and shaky: "How could this happen? How could this happen?... My father would be so sad if he knew!"
Jiang Shuyi was not happy to hear this and wanted to refute him, but Pei Yan held the back of her head and she was forced to bury her face in his chest.
Pei Yan looked at Gu Hanqing coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Gu Hanqing was still immersed in sadness when he felt a chill on his head again. He looked up as if he had sensed something and was frightened by the look in the eyes of the man who looked like a human.
"Who exactly are you, Excellency?"
After Gu Hanqing asked, he saw that the other party had no intention of paying attention to him, so he gritted his teeth and reminded him: "Before you do such a thing, don't you want to think about your nine clans?"
Pei Yan sneered coldly.
It was the first time that Jiang Shuyi heard Pei Yan make such a noise. She couldn't help but look up at him, but she only saw the perfectly curved jawline.
"Jiang Shuyi, did you hear that? He is making indirect accusations, saying that you didn't care about his life."
Pei Yan said in a calm tone: "He is afraid of being implicated by you, and now he may be cursing you in his heart."
Jiang Shuyi wanted to turn around to see if it was real or not, but her head was held down again.
"Sir, stop talking nonsense!"
Gu Hanqing had never seen such a shameless person before. He was so angry that his hands were shaking. He was worried that being discovered would be a disaster, so he had to lower his voice: "I, I am not afraid of being implicated. I hate people like you who only care about momentary happiness. You know that if something happens, my sister and your own relatives will be implicated, but you still insist on seducing my sister!"
Pei Yan looked down at him and gently stroked Jiang Shuyi's back: "Unfortunately, it was your sister who provoked me first."
Gu Hanqing doesn't believe it!!
"Your Majesty is kind and wise, and has a face as beautiful as a jade. This is known to everyone in the world. How could my sister give up the beautiful jade and pick up dung? It must be you who seduced her first. You are shameless, despicable, and outrageous!"
Gu Hanqing had already cursed out all the harshest words he could think of, his face flushed with anger, but the shameless man paused after hearing what he said, and then laughed happily.
Gu Hanqing was so angry that he almost fainted.
Pei Yan smiled and lowered his head to Jiang Shuyi gently, "Ah Shu, tell him who provoked whom first?"
Jiang Shuyi felt the hand pressing on the back of her head loosen, and she quickly turned around, frowned and scolded Gu Hanqing: "I seduced him, don't say nonsense to make him unhappy!"
