"Run away?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Mrs. Guo was startled. Was it necessary to be so surprised?
"Didn't you agree on this? Why are you running away? Where are you running to? Who are you running with?" The third prince asked four questions in a row anxiously.
Mrs. Guo was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that everyone was staring at his wife, in order to avoid making things worse, Guo Yuanzheng hurriedly bowed to Emperor Yuan and said, "There are too many people outside, why don't we go in and talk first."
Emperor Yuan looked around and then nodded.
Then, a group of people followed Emperor Yuan into Guo’s residence.
Yuan Guo was dismissing the wedding procession. "Go back to where you came from now, and don't say anything."
The matchmaker waved her handkerchief and said, "Sir, we haven't settled the money yet!"
"I will send someone to deliver it to you later." Guo Yuanzheng lowered his voice and said, "Leave quickly and don't disturb the emperor."
Originally, the matchmaker wanted to get the money before she would leave, but her expression changed immediately when she heard the words "Holy Emperor".
After she thought about it for a while, she suddenly realized that there was indeed a person with a different temperament, who gave people an indescribable sense of deterrence.
For this reason, the matchmaker, who would rather believe it than not, left with her people in a grand manner.
Guo Yuanzheng walked into the house, put his hands on the door, looked around, and then slammed the door shut.
"Hey~ why are you all gone?"
"I don't know. It looks like a wedding procession, but there's no bride in the sedan."
"That shouldn't be a wedding, right? Otherwise, Imperial Doctor Guo wouldn't have failed to send us an invitation."
"What's going on there?"
"Who knows? Otherwise, why don't you go and ask around?"
"Come on, if I have that much free time I might as well go and play with my beauty."
"What beauty? Don't hide it. Didn't we say that we should share happiness and sleep with a beauty together?"
"Hehe~ Come on, I'll take you to have some fun, I guarantee you'll be in ecstasy."
"Okay, bro."
The sound gradually faded away, mixed with dissolute laughter...
Inside Guo's residence, Emperor Yuan sat on the main seat in the main hall, while Xie Xu stood beside him expressionlessly, holding the sword ring.
The Third Prince, the Duke of England and others sat on the stools on both sides, and those who could not sit stood.
Mrs. Guo stood in the hall, looking reserved.
She didn't expect that today's actions would attract Emperor Yuan, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Madam Guo, come and tell me, why did Director Guo's Chu... run away?"
Ever since Guo Yuanzheng appeared at the door at this time, Mrs. Guo knew that it was Jiang Yueyang's inner voice that exposed her behavior, and it was the court where all the civil and military officials gathered.
It’s just… why are Your Majesty and these adults so gossipy!
Emperor Yuan frowned slightly when he saw that Madam Guo did not respond.
Seeing this, the Third Prince hurriedly said, "Madam Guo, my father is asking you a question, why don't you answer it quickly?"
Mrs. Guo's heart skipped a beat and she said hurriedly, "I was going to pick her up today, but when she was about to get into the sedan chair, a middle-aged man suddenly showed up."
At this time, Director Guo just walked in and happened to hear the words "middle-aged man".
Emperor Yuan asked, "Who is that middle-aged man? Why did someone run away with him?"
"I heard her say that the middle-aged man was..." Mrs. Guo glanced at Guo Yuanzheng beside her, "her sweetheart from her youth."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Wasn't it said that the woman was Guo Yuanzheng's first love? How come another sweetheart appeared?
No, Master Xiao Jiang and the others only said that the woman was Guo Yuanzheng’s first love, they did not say that Guo Yuanzheng was the woman’s first love.
Could it be that Guo Yuanzheng is actually...
Emperor Yuan was visibly excited, but he suppressed his excitement and waited for Madam Guo to answer his second question.
Guo Yuanzheng was confused. Wasn’t I her sweetheart when she was young?
Mrs. Guo continued, “She said that the reason she agreed to let me enter the mansion was just to provoke the man so that he would understand her heart.
Then, she won the bet, and the man came to find her. Although I was reluctant, I let them go. After all, I couldn't give her a happy life. "
Guo Yuanzheng: Actually, there is no need to say the last sentence.
Emperor Yuan and everyone present, who had heard a lot from Xiaogua, subconsciously felt that the phrase "happy life"... had a deeper meaning.
Emperor Yuan coughed awkwardly, but before he could say anything, the Third Prince pressed on, "Wasn't her first love Guo Yuanzheng? How come another man showed up?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Yuanzheng with sympathy.
Guo Yuanzheng: “…”
This look... isn't very good.
Mrs. Guo replied: "She said that the man she loved from the beginning to the end was that man. It's just that their two families have a feud, so they are destined to have no results, but the two of them still can't control their secret contact.
Later, they were caught by their parents when they were secretly meeting outside. She had no choice but to use Lao Guo, who was also present at the time, as a shield.
Guo Yuanzheng suddenly recalled some past events, and he seemed to know who that man was.
It seemed that because of that incident, he was disturbed by her sudden approach. After that, he became more and more interested in her and even got engaged to her.
The Third Prince suppressed his laughter and asked, "So, Guo Yuanzheng is just a shield, not your first love?"
Everyone present: What level of enemy is this?
Mrs. Guo nodded. "Since then, her parents allowed her to interact with Old Guo. She was powerless to resist, so she just let it go.
Unexpectedly, one day, Lao Guo came to cancel the engagement. She said that she was really happy that day.
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Guo Yuanzheng: “…”
I thought she would be very sad and upset, and I blamed myself for it for a long time.
More importantly, in order to make up for the harm he had caused her, he made a huge amount of monetary compensation to her family.
My money...
"It's just..." Mrs. Guo lowered her eyes sadly, "It's just that when she went to tell the man about this matter happily, what she saw was the man marrying a new bride..."
Emperor Yuan frowned. Is she still willing to go with that man?
The Duke of England shook his head, this woman is even more love-brained than His Royal Highness Prince Huan!
The fifth prince picked up a piece of dessert on the table and ate it. It was so pitiful that he lost both the sesame seeds and the watermelon.
The third prince didn't care about what happened to Guo Yuanzheng's first love. He just wanted to know why Guo Yuanzheng broke off the engagement.
So, he looked at Guo Yuanzheng and asked, "Guo Yuanzheng, why did you cancel the engagement?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Guo Yuanzheng.
Yes, why did he want to cancel the engagement?
