Chapter 225: Like a frightened bird, Gu Chengyan is really scared...
When the sound of horse hooves rose, Yuling breathed a sigh of relief as if a taut string had finally loosened.
She raised her hand and gently patted her chest, a look of fear still on her face: "Young Madam, how can you be so sure that the Third Young Master will not want our things?"
"Also, the Marquis's wife was so aggressive just now. I'm really afraid she'll forcefully take the bag away from us. If she does, she'll sneak something into it and then accuse us of having bad intentions. We'll never be able to clear ourselves of that."
Chu Ruohan had a faint smile on her lips. "Gu Chengyan has already become a frightened bird. Now no matter what I do, even if I just stand there, he will think I am plotting against him in secret."
"As for Su Wanniang, she is a very scheming person with a very complex mind. Even if she wants to scheme against someone, it will be a series of schemes."
"I handed the bag to her openly and asked her to check it. She didn't dare to do anything rash."
"She suspected that since I dared to do this, I must have something to rely on. She was afraid that I had some more powerful tricks hidden behind it, waiting for her to take the bait. That's why she was so afraid."
Yuling suddenly understood, but she was still frightened. She couldn't help but mutter, "Young Madam is confident, but my little heart is still pounding!"
As he said this, he patted his chest exaggeratedly.
Chu Ruohan was amused by her appearance and raised her hand to gently tap Yuling's forehead.
"Alright, alright, look how scared you are. Come back later and I'll ask the kitchen to make your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake to make it up to you."
Yuling glared and said coquettishly, "Really? Madam, please don't lie to me. I love sweet-scented osmanthus cake the most!"
Chu Ruohan smiled and nodded, her eyes full of doting: "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you..."
On the other side, as soon as Gu Chengyan's carriage turned into the alley, he ordered it to stop.
The driver was startled by the sudden order and pulled the reins hard. The horse neighed and the carriage stopped abruptly.
Gu Chengyan is now, indeed as Chu Ruohan said, a frightened bird.
He felt that everyone in Anyang Marquis's mansion, whether master or servant, had ulterior motives, and no one he could truly trust.
His reputation had already been ruined, and the imperial examination was his only chance, so he could not afford to make any mistakes.
Gu Chengyan took a deep breath, suppressed his irritation, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
He glanced at the driver, his eyes as cold as ice, and ordered, "Go around the city twice before returning to the mansion. If anyone asks, tell them you've safely taken me to the Imperial Examination Hall."
The driver nodded quickly, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Gu Chengyan turned around and walked quickly towards a carriage that had been prepared not far away.
The carriage looked ordinary and unremarkable, but it had everything you need inside.
Gu Chengyan got into the carriage, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
Only the things he prepared himself were the safest...
At this time, outside the Imperial Examination Hall, all members of the Chu family went out to send Chu Chenyu to take the imperial examination.
Father Chu looked solemn. He patted Chu Chenyu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Chenyu, this scientific examination is a major event in your life. Don't be nervous. Just show your true level. I believe in you."
Chu Chenyu nodded slightly, with determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, father, I will not let you down."
Chu's mother's eyes were filled with heartache. She walked forward and gently tidied Chu Chenyu's clothes.
"Take good care of yourself in there. Don't be reluctant to eat or drink. It's cold at night, so remember to put on more clothes."
Chu Chenyu raised the corner of his mouth, "Mom, I know everything, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
“You…”
Mother Chu was still nagging, but Chu Chenyu had already looked at Chu Ruohan, "Sister!"
"Do well in the exam!" Chu Ruohan was very confident in him.
"Um."
After saying goodbye to his family one by one, Chu Chenyu walked into the Imperial Examination Hall with firm steps.
Father Chu looked at his back and raised his eyes. The plaque of the Imperial Examination Hall was shining in the sunlight. It was the goal and hope of many students.
"It's a pity that the prince went to the military camp and did not continue to take the imperial examination. Otherwise, with his talent, he would definitely be able to rank among the top three." Chu's father's tone was full of regret.
Not only him, but many literati and poets are looking forward to the winner of the autumn examination to shine.
Gu Junze's absence has left many people in disbelief, shock, and regret...
Chu Ruohan knew that Gu Junze's ambition was not to be a civil official, he wanted to fight on the battlefield like his mother.
Like the eldest princess, become a solid and indestructible barrier!
Even though he was paralyzed, his martial arts skills never stopped for a moment...
Ying Qing and Chu Yueshu finally found a chance to meet.
The two of them quietly hid in a corner, holding hands tightly and whispering to each other.
Ying Qing's eyes were full of tenderness and doting, while Chu Yueshu's face was full of shyness. She nodded gently from time to time with a sweet smile on her lips.
Chu Ruohan had sharp eyes and saw them at once. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she felt like joking.
She tiptoed over and coughed deliberately, which scared the two men so much that they trembled all over.
Chu Ruohan laughed and teased: "We're getting married in just over a month. We can see each other every day and spend as much time as we want..."
When Chu Yueshu heard this, her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, and she stomped her feet in embarrassment and annoyance.
"Sister! You just make fun of me."
Ying Qing was also a little embarrassed and scratched his head, but a happy smile still hung on his face.
Chu Ruohan looked at her sister's shy appearance, waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"The house that Yingqing bought has been decorated and everything inside has been purchased. Let's go and take a look at it together, and take a look at the dowry that my sister prepared for you."
When Chu Yueshu heard that she wanted to see the dowry, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, but she felt a little embarrassed. She gently pulled Ying Qing's hand and said, "Then... let's go and take a look."
Ying Qing looked at her gently and nodded.
The group walked towards the house purchased by Ying Qing...
Although the Chu family is not as prosperous as before, Chu Ruohan has acquired many of the eldest princess's properties.
Under Qin Fang's management, a lot of money was earned this year.
"The headwear that my sister prepared for you is made of the finest red gold and top-grade gemstones... This filigree gold phoenix hairpin took the craftsman three full months to complete. When you wear it, you will definitely be the most stunning one in the world." Chu Ruohan said excitedly.
Her sister will definitely be the most beautiful when she gets married!
"I've already prepared hundreds of pieces of silk alone, including Shu brocade, Yun brocade, and Song brocade..."
"There are also farms and shops. I bought two fertile farms on the outskirts of the city. The annual harvest is enough to cover your daily expenses..."
