Chapter 140 Is he a mad dog? He bites whoever he catches...
It's no wonder Chu Ruohan thought this way. Chu Chenyu and Gu Chengyan both looked unhappy, but he was the only one who looked fine...
Gu Chengyan was too lazy to act out the scene of deep brotherly love. He let go of the hand that was holding the wheelchair, turned around, quickly got on the carriage, and drove away.
At the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, a welcoming banquet had already been prepared. The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea, and the aroma was everywhere.
Each dish looked particularly tempting under the candlelight.
Chu Nanxin was wearing a light pink silk dress, with a few crystal clear pearls dotted on her bun, and she looked gentle and charming.
She was waiting at the gate of the mansion. When she saw Gu Chengyan appear in her sight, a bright smile instantly broke out on her face and she walked briskly towards him.
"Husband, you are finally back!" Chu Nanxin's voice was filled with joy.
She approached Gu Chengyan with great joy, and stretched out her hand to hold his arm. The smile on her face had not yet fully bloomed when she was suddenly brushed away by Gu Chengyan.
The force was so great that Chu Nanxin was caught off guard. He staggered and took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.
"Ah!" Chu Nanxin screamed and subconsciously covered his stomach, his eyes full of fear and grievance.
The maidservant beside her was quick-witted and quick-handed. She quickly stepped forward to support her, thus preventing her from falling to the ground in embarrassment.
After Chu Nanxin steadied herself, her eyes were filled with confusion and worry. She really didn't understand why Gu Chengyan suddenly got so angry.
It was obvious that he was very nice to me before the Autumn Examination.
She suppressed the grievance in her heart and spoke carefully: "Is the exam too difficult? Husband, don't be too sad. It's okay. There will be another chance in three years..."
Gu Chengyan's face was so gloomy at this time, as if water could drip out of it, veins bulged on his forehead, and his chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that he was still angry.
He glared at Chu Nanxin fiercely and was about to scold her when his eyes inadvertently fell on her belly which had not yet bulged.
His eyes froze for a moment, he took a deep breath, and finally said nothing, turned around and strode away.
Finally, the day of the results announcement arrived, and Gu Chengyan rushed to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall early. He squeezed to the front of the crowd, his eyes fixed on the list posted on the wall.
After seeing that he was on the list, his heart finally settled down. The tension on his face instantly turned into a smile of relief.
In this exam, he performed poorly due to the pain in his back and thought he would definitely fail, but God was kind to him.
Even though he was the last one.
It was far from what he had expected, but at least it was an explanation.
When he takes the imperial examination next spring, he will surely perform well and shine brightly, making everyone take notice.
When he looked up, the smile on his face froze instantly, becoming extremely complicated, anger, jealousy, unwillingness...
A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd: "Haha, I won, I won..."
The sound was full of joy and excitement, pushing the atmosphere at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to a climax.
Chu Chenyu was also in the crowd, his eyes wide open, his face filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, "The first place winner is my brother-in-law... my brother-in-law..."
His voice was clear and loud, standing out in the noisy crowd.
Chu Chenyu was thinking about telling her elder sister the good news immediately. When she turned around, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gu Chengyan with a grim expression.
His excitement had not yet worn off, and he did not notice anything unusual about Gu Chengyan. He squeezed his way through the crowd and suddenly hooked his arm around Gu Chengyan's shoulder.
"Third brother-in-law, all three of us are on the list, haha...you two are simply the two heroes of the Gu family!"
When Gu Chengyan heard this, his face instantly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
"Double Heroes"?
It's such a great irony.
Humph, Gu Junze, a paralytic, tops the list, while he is last.
Chu Chenyu's seemingly complimenting words sounded like a direct humiliation to him.
"Chengyan, this is your brother-in-law! He is also on the list." said the young man next to Gu Chengyan who was familiar with him.
This sentence made Gu Chengyan even more angry. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes and he shook off Chu Chenyu's hand.
He said coldly: "Who is your brother-in-law? Chu Nanxin is just one of my concubines."
He glanced at Chu Chenyu with disdain in his tone, "Are you worthy enough to call yourself my brother-in-law?"
Chu Chenyu's face turned ashen in an instant, his smile froze on his face, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.
Although he had always been dissatisfied with Chu Nanxin's insistence on marrying Gu Chengyan as a concubine, Chu Nanxin was, after all, his third sister who grew up with him and a blood relative.
Gu Chengyan actually dared to humiliate her in front of him. How could he tolerate this?
"My third sister is still pregnant."
Chu Chenyu's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, and there was obvious anger and questioning in his tone, which attracted the attention of people around him and cast curious glances.
Gu Chengyan showed no sign of restraining himself. Instead, he snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. "Isn't it my concubine's duty to bear my children? Even if they are born, they will only be illegitimate children..."
His words were like a sharp blade, piercing Chu Chenyu's heart.
Chu Chenyu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly raised his fist and swung it towards Gu Chengyan's face.
Beat this bastard to death, Chu Nanxin is really blind!
Gu Chengyan seemed to have expected Chu Chenyu to attack him, and his reaction was extremely fast. He dodged the punch easily by moving to the side, then grabbed Chu Chenyu's wrist with his backhand, twisted it hard, and pressed him to the ground.
His movements were clean and efficient, without any delay.
Before, when he fought with Wei Qiming, he did not fight back because he was afraid of the Queen and the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Chu Chenyu actually wanted to hit him. Did he really think he was made of clay?
Seeing this, people around who knew the two of them gathered around and tried to separate them.
"Calm down, calm down..." They persuaded and pulled the two apart.
In their opinion, what Gu Chengyan said was common sense in this world. The status of a concubine was already low, and only the younger brother of the wife could be considered a legitimate brother-in-law.
Gu Chengyan forcefully waved away everyone's hands, "Chu Chenyu, if you really want Chu Nanxin to live a better life in my house, then just be quiet and don't provoke me."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned away.
Chu Chenyu was furious. Did he provoke him? It was obviously him who bit people like a mad dog.
Chu Chenyu was filled with resentment and left in the opposite direction. Who could have made Chu Nan so determined to follow him...
As soon as Gu Chengyan squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes fell on the small stall at the corner of Gongyuan Street.
Gu Chengan?
