Chapter 631: Grandson of the Golden Prince
Xia Gu was stunned for a moment, her heart touched, but then she felt a little dissatisfied. She looked at Han Zhang and said coquettishly, "Uncle, look at him, he only knows how to play riddles."
Han Zhang knew the reason why Gong Mengbi was being vague, and didn't care about her acting coquettishly, so he just smiled mysteriously and said, "Just obey my orders, Deputy General."
Xia Gu snorted and returned to her boudoir, fanning herself with a round fan.
But after a moment, Han Zhang suddenly looked up and asked uncertainly, "She left again?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Just left."
He and Han Zhang pushed open the door and stood in the courtyard. The night was dark, yet undercurrents surged, changing strangely.
Gong Mengbi said, "Evil spirits and demons are causing trouble tonight. Xia Gu is probably worried about that young master surnamed Jin."
Han Zhang snorted coldly and said, "I think she's been cooped up all day without going out to play, and she can't stand the loneliness anymore. What's so good about that scholar? If he had the character of my brother-in-law, it would be fine, but he doesn't. He's frivolous and pretentious, not like a good man."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "That's not what you said yesterday."
Han Zhang fell silent, sighed, and said, "I know they can't last, but I'm afraid she'll be sad. Love is so difficult."
Gong Mengbi said, "Given Xia Gu's personality, I'm afraid she might not really fall in love with him."
Han Zhang wrinkled his nose and said, "That's best. It's just a fleeting romance, let's part ways amicably."
Gong Mengbi couldn't say whether it would be a good breakup or not. But from his perspective, these two were bound to have a fight.
The Jin family's library was not far from where they were staying. The library was planted with flowers and trees, which was quite elegant and interesting.
Jin Wangsun was reading in the library at night. The boy serving him could not bear it any longer and was urged to go to bed by him.
In the past, Jin Wangsun would not stay up too late. Wasting gas was a small matter, but hurting his eyes was a big matter, and missing tomorrow's class was an even bigger matter.
It’s just that some things happened recently that always made him a little distracted and unable to concentrate.
He read at night while waiting, feeling both anticipation and fear. His mood was very complicated and he could hardly concentrate on the book.
He forced himself to turn a few pages of the book, but he really couldn't concentrate, so he had to throw the book on the table and put his head in his hands at the desk.
"Golden Prince, oh Golden Prince, you're finished."
"You've read so much of the sage's books that you've lost everything. How could you possibly do such indecent things?"
"Jin Wangsun, you have to explain it to her clearly today!"
He kept encouraging himself, but as soon as there was a soft knock on the door, his eyes lit up immediately.
His body moved before his head, and he almost ran to open the door.
Sure enough, behind the door was a beautiful girl, graceful and charming, with affectionate eyes and a bracelet on her wrist inlaid with gems, glowing faintly.
"Xia Gu, you're here!"
He was at a loss, he lost his pace, he wanted to get closer but was afraid, he wanted to refuse but was reluctant.
His mind was in a mess, but Xia Gu only slowly extended a hand, and all the sage books, etiquette and teachings, fear and hesitation were thrown behind him. His body responded honestly, holding the slender hand in his own, holding her hand, as if hanging a box of jewelry with a silk thread, and inviting her into the room with infinite care and cherishment.
It rains during the day and it is cold at night.
He felt pity and reluctance in his heart, so he gently rubbed her hands, blew air on her cold hands, and said, "Is it windy outside? Why are you so cold?"
He looked out the door, but was blocked by Xia Gu. Xia Gu tilted her head and looked out through the crack in the door. She didn't know when a white shadow stood in the night, looking at her with a pair of greedy eyes.
Xia Gu blocked Jin Wangsun, frowned slightly, and slammed the door shut with her backhand.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Jin Wangsun was teaching in the library when a group of big men suddenly broke in, beat and smashed things, drove all the students out, and punched Jin Wangsun in the face.
Jin Wangsun's eyes were full of stars, his face immediately swelled up, and his mouth was full of the smell of blood. He struggled and said, "Who are you? How dare you break into a private house and beat people up in broad daylight?"
A tall and sturdy man in white clothes and a white crown stepped out from among the burly men. He lowered his head and looked at Jin Wangsun. He reached out and patted his face, saying, "Boy, did you know that the woman who rested in your room last night was not human?"
Jin Wangsun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted, "Nonsense! There's no such thing as a woman! How dare you slander me?"
Seeing that he didn't know what was best for him, the man in white couldn't help but get angry. His eyes shifted like a snake's pupils as he said, "I saw it with my own eyes. How dare you deny it? I tell you clearly, that woman is not yours to enjoy. If she comes to you again tonight, give her this to drink."
A medicine bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, and he placed it on the table next to Jin Wangsun.
"If you don't obey, not only will I spread the news of your affair with the demon throughout Gusu, but I will also make sure you never have peace in this life!"
Jin Wangsun was stunned by his snake pupils and the suddenly appearing medicine bottle. The big man who grabbed him threw him to the ground and rolled him over, then he followed the man in white and disappeared like a gust of wind.
"Jin Wangsun, I will always keep an eye on you. Think about your family, think about your future, and think carefully."
The voice kept echoing in his ears like a curse. Jin Wangsun was in a daze and extremely frightened. He looked around the library that was smashed to pieces, feeling dizzy. Finally, his eyes fell on the medicine bottle.
Night falls.
Jin Wangsun prepared wine and food, and waited silently in the study in a daze.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
His steps were heavy, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and every step drained away his courage and strength.
He opened the door and saw Xia Gu's worried face. Xia Gu asked, "When I came here, I saw that the library seemed to have been smashed. What happened?"
She looked at Jin Wangsun's face. Jin Wangsun quickly lowered his head to the side, but she still saw him. She carefully stroked Jin Wangsun's cheek and said, "Were you beaten?"
Jin Wangsun said vaguely, "It's just a bunch of scoundrels causing trouble. It's nothing serious. We can just send someone to clean it up tomorrow."
Xia Gu said, "The library can be cleaned up, but you got hit in the face, and it won't be healed tomorrow."
She led Jin Wangsun to the lamp and saw in the light that his face was covered with bruises. He looked ugly and pitiful. She couldn't help but ask with pity, "Does it hurt?"
Jin Wangsun took her hand in his and said, "It was painful, but it stops hurting now that you've said it."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes for some reason, and he said, "Xia Gu, it's cold at night, let's have a drink first."
"I'm really sorry I can't keep you here tonight. After you finish this cup, you can leave. The library has been smashed, and my friend has made an appointment to visit me tonight."
He pressed the wine glass into Xia Gu's hand and said, "I'll toast you."
Jin Wangsun also raised his wine glass and clinked it with Xia Gu's. Xia Gu looked at the wine in her hand, looked at him steadily, and said softly, "Okay."
The two of them raised their glasses and drank together, finishing all the drink.
Jin Wangsun urged, "Let's go, let's go."
As he spoke, he pushed her out.
Xia Gu had no choice but to be pushed out the door by him. Before she could leave, she saw that the library had been surrounded by seven or eight men in pale and blue clothes. The leader was wearing white clothes and a white crown, and was covered in water. He laughed and said, "You can't leave."
The man in white looked at Jin Wangsun and said, "Boy, you did a good job."
