Gu Yunru immediately thought of these two words. Shuying immediately coughed a few times to avoid being heard.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly, but the excitement still couldn't be calmed down.

"My multiple identities have made me lost. I look forward to seeing him every day. This world has brought me more coldness than warmth and brightness. It was the prince who allowed me to see the light when I was desperate and helpless."

Gu Yunru looked at Shuying's expression without blinking. This shows how much she loves him that she has been able to endure it until now.

"Ahem, Shuying, tomorrow, I will bring a small stool to Chuxiu Palace to replace you. You must not reveal your true identity then."

Shuying nodded, "Don't worry, I won't show my true colors."

"kindness."

Gu Mansion.

Gu Junyao was playing shuttlecock with the maids in the yard. Ah Chou was watching motionlessly. He only dared to look at her twice more when Gu Junyao didn't pay attention to him, fearing that this subtle movement would be discovered by others.

"Yao'er, why are you still having fun here?" Madam Gu searched for a long time and finally saw her in the yard. She immediately pulled her aside and said seriously, "Your father is very anxious about your marriage. Your elder sister is going to marry into the palace and become a princess.

The three sisters are all married, and you are the only one left. How can you expect others to look after the Gu family?"

"Mother, why are you in such a hurry? The prince has gone to the border to quell the rebellion, and my eldest sister is living a carefree life in the palace. Although my third sister has married into the Cheng family, she is just a concubine.

Thinking this way, I will be the head of the family in the future, and I don't want to be someone else's mistress." Gu Junyao was proud and arrogant, so she didn't want to be like Gu Junyue.

"But look at you, isn't it time for you to make some plans as well?"

Mrs. Gu kept trying to persuade them, but Gu Junyao looked impatient. It was not until Mr. Gu showed up that everyone finally calmed down.

"Jun Yao, how old are you now and you're still playing these things?"

Mr. Gu stood in front of Gu Junyao with a serious face. Gu Junyao stood there obediently, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Dad, you're just bored..." Gu Junyao curled the corners of his mouth.

"Someone came to ask for your hand in marriage today."

As soon as Master Gu finished speaking, Gu Junyao rushed forward and asked, "Who is it?"

"The eldest son of the Murong family is Murong Chenjun. He was born into a martial arts family and is good at martial arts. If you stay with him in the future, he can also protect you on behalf of your father."

When Gu Junyao heard this, her fair face turned pale.

"I don't want to marry a military commander. Besides, Murong Chenjun is like a piece of wood. My daughter has seen him before. Although he has a big family and a lot of wealth, she won't be happy with him."

When Gu Junyao heard this name, his eyes were full of disappointment. He liked brothers like Shaoyuan who were humorous, literary, and considerate. Those guys who only knew how to use violence were stubborn and could never be happy even if they were together.

"Jun Yao, please don't act recklessly. If you delay for another two years, no one will dare to marry you. Do you want to stay in the mansion until you are old?"

Mr. Gu was very worried about her marriage. The Murong family was a good match, and they were promoted by Lord Xie in the court. She would have a good life if she married into the family. However, Gu Junyao had very high standards and looked down on them.

"What's wrong with being more filial to your father and mother? Besides, if it weren't for Jun Yue, I would have been Mrs. Cheng by now."

Hearing her bring up the past, Master Gu coughed a few times and said, "Alright, don't bring this up again. It's not good for outsiders to hear and talk about it. Besides, Jun Yue is your biological sister."

"snort!"

"Anyway, Dad doesn't care what kind of temper you have. You must go to the teahouse in two days to meet him and see what your future husband is like."

"father!"

Gu Junyao acted coquettishly towards him, but he turned a deaf ear to her. It seemed that he was serious this time. He was in such a hurry to get her married, he must have had bad intentions.

"Miss, the Madam and the Master are doing this for your own good." After Lan'er saw the two of them leave, she came over to comfort them. Gu Junyao was so angry that she shook her sleeves and said, "How could I not know what they are thinking? They just want to marry into the Murong family and curry favor with them!"

"But...it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Although the eldest son of the Murong family looks a little silly, he is very good at martial arts. Just like the master said, he can definitely protect the young lady."

Lan Er looked at her with a smile, hoping to calm the young lady down. However, when Gu Junyao heard this, she glared at her with a furious look and said, "If you like him, I will betroth you to him as a concubine. How about that?"

"No, no, Miss, do you want to go to the teahouse to meet the eldest son of the Murong family in the next two days?"

"Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't go anyway."

Gu Junyao turned around and walked away gracefully. The shuttlecock fell to the empty ground. There was no one around. Ah Chou held the shuttlecock in his hand, watching Gu Junyao's back as she left, with murderous intent in his eyes.

That night, Xiao Dengzi was persuaded by Gu Yunru, but when he thought about being discovered, which would be a capital crime, he would rather die than get involved in this mess.

"Xiao Dengzi, I always thought you were very smart and loyal, why do you back off here?" Qingxing looked at Xiao Dengzi in confusion, which made Xiao Dengzi's face turn red and white. She didn't know what to do after hearing what she said.

"Okay then, I'll help you one last time."

The little stool nodded, and Gu Yunru held back her laughter. It was true that even a hero could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

That night, Gu Yunru successfully brought Shuying out of Chuxiu Palace. Xiuyun also dressed up as a eunuch. Several people sat in the carriage and were about to leave the palace.

"Wait a minute, who is coming?"

The guard at the gate curiously shone a lantern and discovered that it was Miss Gu.

"Miss, are you going out so late?"

The guard asked curiously. Gu Yunru coughed softly and said, "All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have been called to the Millennium Palace. I have no choice but to go home and recuperate."

"So that's how it is."

Gu Yunru successfully deceived his way through, and the carriage successfully drove on the deserted streets. Shuying opened the carriage and looked out, and there were still a few taverns with lights on.

"Finally I'm out. I have to go back and get some clothes and some dry food. The most important thing is to bring enough money!"

Gu Yunru jumped off the carriage, and Shuying asked worriedly, "When will you come back?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You can rest in the carriage now. There are almost no people passing by this street, so don't worry."

Gu Yunru looked at Qingxing and gave her a wink, and then the two of them sneaked to the backyard of Gu's house and lay down in the dog hole.
