Chang'an has a hometown, and the hometown belongs to Chang'an4
Seeing Gu Qingzhou being so intimate with his brother, he was disgusted. "Behaving like this in public is really shameless."
Gu Li exerted force, and Gu Qingzhou fell into his arms. He kissed Gu Qingzhou's forehead and said indifferently, "Gu Ruo, don't talk nonsense. She is your future sister-in-law. If there is a next time, I will never forgive you."
The brother who had once loved and cared for her so much was now actually treating her like this for an outsider. Gu Ruo looked at Gu Qingzhou with resentment, wishing she could tear her into pieces.
Gu Qingzhou felt as if there were thorns on her back, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She reached out and poked Gu Li's cheek, "Okay! Gu Ruo is still young, don't be mean to her."
Guli held Gu Qingzhou's fingers, placed them on her lips, and kissed them lightly, "Okay, whatever you say."

"Miss Chang'an, here is your letter." A maid ran over breathlessly.
Didn't Changan's letter mean she had no relatives? Could it be written from her hometown?
Gu Qingzhou took the envelope from the girl with a puzzled look on his face.
The envelope was beautifully wrapped, the handwriting on the letter paper was elegant, and there was still a fresh floral scent.
——I heard that Miss Chang'an and my hometown are in love with each other. I wonder if there is a chance to see Miss Chang'an's stunning beauty.
The content on the paper was very concise, with only one line of words and a time address, and not even the name of the signer.
My hometown
Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but feel annoyed. She frowned, and the envelope in her hand became wrinkled due to excessive force.
Although she was reluctant, she still arrived as promised.
The night was long, and the wind brought cool breezes through the treetops. Occasionally, the hurried footsteps interrupted this rare tranquility.
"That's her," said the man, dressed in black, his entire face covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth exposed. "My employer said to behave cleanly."
Countless black shadows surrounded Gu Qingzhou, and they slowly approached her step by step.
Gu Qingzhou listened to the sound of fallen leaves and smiled faintly, "Who asked you to come?"
Her voice was steady and calm, without the slightest panic, as if she was asking a perfectly normal question: "What did you have for lunch?"
After exchanging glances, the man in black said nothing, raised the axe in both hands, and chopped straight towards Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou closed his eyes and silently counted in his mind, "3, 2, 1!"
The axe passed over the ends of her hair but stopped on top of her head. Gu Qingzhou slowly opened her eyes. Gu Li was standing in front of her at this time. He held the axe with his bare hands, and blood slid down his arms onto Gu Qingzhou's hair.
Guli smashed the axe at the murderer, grabbed Gu Qingzhou's hand, and ran in the opposite direction.
"Chang'an, I'm sorry for getting you dirty." Guli pulled out a piece of black cloth from his sleeve and gently wiped away the blood stains remaining on Gu Qingzhou's hair.
"It's okay." Gu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at Gu Li. The scars and blood on his hands caught his eyes unexpectedly. "Your hand..."
"It's okay, just bandage it." Guli smiled at Gu Qingzhou. The moonlight was pale, making his lips look even paler and weaker.
"How did you know I was here?"
Guli paused as she bandaged her wound and smiled heartlessly, "Because I wanted to see if I could run into you by chance if I didn't go to Baihua Pavilion. So I'm waiting for you at the back door."
"How long have you been waiting?" Gu Qingzhou widened his eyes in disbelief, and his two red lips unconsciously opened slightly.
"Not long." Guli hugged Gu Qingzhou tightly, resting her chin on Gu Qingzhou's head. "I just wanted to protect you."
The muffled voice of Guli came from above Gu Qingzhou's head, revealing a hint of regret and helplessness.
Gu Qingzhou froze in place. She raised her head and looked at Guli, "Guli, you... I'm not worthy of you doing this."
As her childhood memories came back to her, she hadn't felt such warmth for a long time, so much so that her words became a little incoherent.
"It's worth it. You are my Guli's soon-to-be wife. I am willing to do anything for you." When Guli looked at Gu Qingzhou, there was light in her eyes, and tenderness blended into the long and endless night into time.
"Wife," Gu Qingzhou chuckled, ignoring the sincerity in his tone. "Hometown, would your family allow you to marry a prostitute?"
"I've already explained this to my parents."
"Okay, Guli, since you have decided on everything, what else do you have to ask me?" Gu Qingzhou turned his head away pretending to be angry, but his face seemed to be swept by a ray of colorful clouds, and was stained with a faint blush.
"Don't worry, I won't force you. I'm just unilaterally announcing that I'm taken and asking my parents to stop arranging blind dates for me. But you can make your own choice."
"Guli, if you really like me, then you can only marry me in this life, and you must never have any affair with other women. Can you do it?" Gu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at Guli, biting his lips lightly with his shell-like teeth, with unprecedented attachment in his eyes.
Guli gently took Gu Qingzhou's hand. The moonlight shone on him, and his eyes were like the shimmering deep sea. "I promise you, this time, I won't be late again."
Gu Qingzhou didn't understand the deeper meaning of Guli's words. She leaned her head against Guli's chest. The night was quiet, but it seemed filled with endless sadness. Gu Qingzhou's voice was also tinged with helplessness. "Guli..."
Gu Qingzhou lay in Gu Li's arms like a child. Gu Li did not say anything. She just hugged Gu Qingzhou tightly and patted her back gently.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone again."
The night is long and the sounds of my hometown seem particularly gentle.
-
The morning sun shone into Gu Qingzhou's eyes. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, but before she could stand up, she was pulled by a force and fell back into the soft embrace.
Gu Qingzhou looked at Guli's face so close to her, and subconsciously looked at her clothes. Fortunately, her clothes were intact. She patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
At some point, Gu Li woke up. He supported his head with one hand and lifted Gu Qingzhou's chin with the other, jokingly saying, "Why are you so worried about me?"
Gu Qingzhou, knowing he had been tricked, kicked Gu Li hard with his knee. She stood up and straightened her clothes. "You rascal."
"You chose to be a hooligan yourself." Guli patted the dirt on Gu Qingzhou's back, hugged her in his arms, and his mouth brushed her earlobe vaguely. "It's too late to regret now."
Gu Qingzhou turned around, pinched Guli's chin with one hand, and gently shook it with the other. "I didn't promise you that! Who told you to be so self-indulgent?"
Guli looked at Gu Qingzhou pitifully, covering her heart with both hands, like a little scoundrel, "Ah! Miss Chang'an has such a cruel heart, she actually plans to abandon her husband!"
Gu Qingzhou smiled, put his hands on his hips, and acted like a proud little cat. "Hmph~"
Guli smiled, raised his hand, and scratched her nose lovingly, "Little rascal."
After Guli sent Gu Qingzhou to Baihua Pavilion, the tenderness in her eyes instantly dissipated and turned into cold ice.
"Have you found out who did what happened last night?"
A man in black appeared behind him. "We've investigated. It was done by Yao Yin, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."
Guli smiled nonchalantly, but her words were chilling. "The people in the Shangshu Mansion are so delusional that they want to be my wife, but they don't even consider whether they are worthy. If that's the case, I might as well send them to sleep forever in their dreams!"
A casual remark determined the fate of the Shangshu family.
"The Shangshu Mansion is as timid as a mouse. I don't think they would dare to do this. Someone must have instructed them to do so. If you spread this matter, I want to see who dares to hurt her in the future."
Gu Qingzhou, who was in tune with him, immediately asked 0609 as soon as he returned to the house, "0609, who did what happened last night? Who is the murderer behind it?"
0609: If the host wants to know, he needs to pay enough love points!
Gu Qingzhou rolled his eyes at him, "How much?"
0609: Love value 10
Gu Qingzhou looked at the remaining 115 love points and gritted his teeth, "Okay."
It’s not that she is stingy, but this world is a chaotic one, and no one knows how many troubles are waiting for her in the future.
0609: Congratulations to the dormitory for successfully exchanging "Conan's Tips", and the remaining love value is 105.
Host, the murderer sent this time is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Yao Yin.
"She's the only one." Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned as he was fiddling with his hair.
0609: She's just a scapegoat. Prince Heshuo instigated this whole thing. He wanted to use your elimination as an opportunity to dampen General Guli's arrogance. So, he deliberately sowed discord between her and the general in front of Guruo, hinting that she should get rid of you as soon as possible. Just as Guruo was at her wit's end, Yao Yin happened to overhear her. She had always wanted to marry General Guli, so by killing you, she could win over Guruo, killing two birds with one stone.
Gu Qingzhou touched the night-shining pearl on his neck and sneered, "It's a pity that even the wisest can make mistakes. They probably never thought that Guli would always be watching over me!"
0609: You already know that the hometown general has been guarding you
Gu Qingzhou smiled and silently agreed.
0609: Why were you moved?
"How can I be moved?" Gu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. "I guess I was too immersed in my acting!"
0609: Really? But your body's various indicators show...
"If I say it's fake, then it's fake." Gu Qingzhou's voice suddenly became louder. She didn't know whether she should believe her own words or not. She felt very upset.
She couldn't remember much of what was said last night. In a daze, she seemed to feel the sincerity between the lines of her hometown.
