Chapter 720 Let's go out and relax
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Chu Ruohan dismissed the servants and sat alone in the flower hall.
It was not until the night deepened and Gu Junze returned to the inner courtyard after finishing his official business that he noticed that his wife looked strange.
"What's wrong?" He walked forward and held her slightly cold hand. "Did you encounter any troubles?"
Chu Ruohan raised her head and told everything that happened in Wenyuan Pavilion today.
"That young master is indeed a rare young talent, his family background and character are impeccable. But Sister Lan..."
Chu Ruohan sighed deeply, "I originally thought she was obsessed with the old relationship and couldn't get over it. But now I think I was wrong. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let her go to Jinguan City with me."
Gu Junze frowned slightly upon hearing this. He raised his hand to refill Chu Ruohan's tea. "I'm afraid no one else can untie Sister Lan's knot. This matter may require an unexpected person."
He looked at Chu Ruohan: "What do you think, let Song Ruyan go and persuade them?"
"Ruyan?" Chu Ruohan was stunned, then shook her head. "Her impulsive temper, how can it be persuaded? Don't say a few words and make things worse."
"It's because of her direct personality that it might be so effective."
"Sister Lan's thoughts are too hidden. She won't listen to ordinary advice. But Song Ruyan is her master who taught her kung fu. Once a teacher, always a father. What others can't say, she, as a teacher, can say."
Chu Ruohan was a little shaken by what he said. After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only way.
The next day, when Chu Ruohan arrived, Song Ruyan was dancing with a spear in the yard with great vigor. Seeing Chu Ruohan, she threw the gun onto the weapon rack with a loud "clang" sound, and strode towards her.
"What wind brings you, a big Buddha, here?" Song Ruyan casually wiped her face with the sweat towel around her neck, and smiled as she pulled her to sit down.
Chu Ruohan looked at her careless appearance, smiled helplessly, and briefly recounted Gu Lanxin's story.
"...That's the situation. Her grandfather is pressing her hard, and we, as elders, can't force her. There's really nothing we can do."
After hearing this, Song Ruyan raised her eyebrows and slapped the sweat towel on the stone table.
"What's so difficult about this!" She stood up, looking as if it was a matter of course. "To risk your life for a man, how ridiculous! For us, the most taboo thing for us people in the underworld is to get stuck in a rut! Wait, I'll go talk to her right away!"
After saying that, she rushed out in a hurry, not even waiting for a moment.
Gu Lanxin was embroidering in the room when she heard Song Ruyan's unique loud voice coming from outside the yard.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Song Ruyan rushed in like a gust of wind, sat down opposite her, and got straight to the point.
"Girl, I heard what your aunt said. What? Did the sky fall?"
Gu Lanxin was startled by her behavior and quickly put down the embroidery frame in her hand and called out timidly, "Master."
"Don't call me Master, I didn't teach you to be such a useless disciple!"
Song Ruyan glared at her. "He's just a man! Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Giving up an entire forest for a crooked tree is stupid!"
She spoke quickly and urgently, like a machine gun, making Gu Lanxin dizzy.
Gu Lanxin's cheeks flushed red as she was told this. She felt anxious and embarrassed. Seeing that Song Ruyan was about to continue lecturing her, she blurted out in desperation, "Master, I didn't hang myself on a tree!"
She bit her lip, as if mustering up great courage, and said in a low but clear voice: "I, I already have a lover."
"Oh?" Song Ruyan immediately became interested and came forward, her eyes shining brightly. "You have a crush? Who is it? Tell Master quickly, which family is it?"
Gu Lanxin felt more and more embarrassed when she looked at her, and shook her head repeatedly.
"Master, please don't ask yet." She lowered her eyes, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "I'm not sure about his feelings yet. Wait, when we have a conclusion, I will be the first to tell you."
Seeing her like this, Song Ruyan knew that no matter how much she asked, she would not get anything out of her, so she stopped forcing her.
She patted Gu Lanxin's shoulder, and her tone finally softened: "Okay, you still have some vision and know to change the tree. Since you have someone in your heart, tell your aunt as soon as possible to save her from worrying about you."
After coming out of Gu Lanxin's courtyard, Song Ruyan went straight back to Chu Ruohan's main courtyard.
"Okay, okay, don't worry!" She told Chu Ruohan the news, "Sister Lan, there's someone in my heart, and it's not what you think. I think you're just overthinking it. The children are grown up now, and they know what's going on!"
She sat down, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"I threw those two brats of mine into the military camp and beat them up. That heartless little Gungun is now the prince's companion. He thinks I'm noisy and can't say more than three words to him all day long."
"I'm so bored sitting here alone in the mansion, let's go out and relax!"
Chu Ruohan was left in a state of confusion by her words, but a heavy stone in her heart also fell to the ground.
"Your three children, Zhenyun has a promising future, and the two younger ones are willing to endure hardships. But," Chu Ruohan shook her head, "I'm afraid there's no one left to inherit Doctor Qian's medical skills."
"Hey, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Song Ruyan shrugged nonchalantly. "If they don't like it, can I put a knife to their necks and force them to learn it? Let them do whatever they want!"
She pulled Chu Ruohan's sleeve and began to act coquettishly: "Okay Ruohan, just come with me! I heard that the maple leaves on Qixia Mountain outside Beijing have turned red. Let's change clothes and go quietly. It's a good opportunity to hide away!"
Chu Ruohan couldn't stand her nagging any longer. She thought that there were indeed a lot of troubles in the house recently, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to pack up and go to Qixia Mountain to see the maple leaves tomorrow.
In the evening, Gu Junze returned home, but found that his wife was not there. After asking, he found out that she had been abducted by Song Ruyan again, and they had made an appointment to go out together the next day.
He stood in the empty hall, looking at the teacup on the table that Song Ruyan had drunk from, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
My wife is good in every way except that she is too easily led astray by her best friend who doesn't play by the rules.
Gu Qingchen didn't get to eat the crab roe buns after all. His heart felt like a ball of water-soaked cotton was blocking it, making him depressed and irritable.
She was also not interested in the street gadgets that Qian Zhenyun brought with him.
She walked around the room a few times, and her eyes finally fell on the kite that she had casually placed in the corner of the wall.
It was a majestic eagle that Qian Zhenyun had brought last time, saying it was the latest style in the city.
Instead of thinking about it here, why not go out and get some fresh air?
