Chapter 225: Love Rivals Meet
"Prince Gu does not mind the pearls and jade being placed among the rubble, and the criminals are happy to accept it without any objection."
When the noble Gu Huai stepped into the filthy place, the prison guard on duty hurriedly cleaned the cell where Sun Zhiye was, brought in tables, chairs and benches, and in a show of elegance, he picked a few branches of blooming peach blossoms and put them in a ceramic vase to embellish the environment. Finally, he covered the cell with a curtain and walked away.
In a short while, the cell was transformed into a new look.
Sun Zhiye sighed, "So this is power."
Your noble life is given by nature.
My eyes are gradually attracted by the bright peach blossom branches in the rough pottery vase.
I never thought that the flowers in spring would bloom so beautifully.
The plum blossom petals he carefully collected had dried and weathered for a long time, and they crumbled into powder with a light pinch.
"Yes, this is power." Gu Huai placed the wine bottle lightly on the wooden table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You sit down too." Gu Huai pointed to the seat opposite.
Sun Zhiye did not hesitate to refuse. He sat down calmly, picked up the wine bottle, tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth.
As the clear and fragrant liquid slid across his lips, teeth and mouth, Sun Zhiye felt a long-lost sense of clarity.
Gu Huai did not blame Sun Zhiye for his impoliteness, but casually turned the jade ring on his slender white finger. "You people from Changhe County are really brave."
"What is there to fear for a dying man?" Sun Zhiye hastily wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and swept Gu Huai's fingers. "I think Master Gu must have met Lu Dongjia and Xie Yan."
"Have you noticed the identical gold rings on the fingers of Lu Dongjia and Xie Yan?"
Gu Huai's eyelashes trembled and his hands paused.
He was blinded by jealousy and anger. He only thought about Ah Chao's pregnancy and the affection between Ah Chao and Xie Yan. He paid no attention to anything else.
"Then do you know that Achao is pregnant?" Gu Huai poured a glass of wine with elegant and noble movements and shook it gently. Ripples appeared in the glass, just like his uneasy heart at the moment.
The aroma of wine wafted around Gu Huai's nose, but he only sniffed it lightly without raising his glass to taste it.
"Your subordinate Chuan Bai has pledged his life to firmly state before this prince that the relationship between Ah Chao and Xie Yan is only a formality and is in name only."
"I believe it and will immediately write to the governor of Yicheng to put pressure on him to save you."
"Who would have thought that Prince Duan would intervene and personally judge the case."
"Because of you, this prince was reprimanded by His Majesty, and also ruined the important things. Do you know your crime?"
He was really annoyed that the engagement had not been concluded until today.
Sun Zhiye frowned, feeling shocked.
Is Lu Mingchao pregnant?
Was Lu Mingchao willing to be a real couple with Xie Yan?
He was completely puzzled, but his face showed no sign of confusion. "It's because Prince Gu is late."
"Spending time together, love grows."
"Prince Gu, instead of blaming the people, you should reflect on why you haven't come to visit Master Lu for half a year."
"Master Gu, you can't allow Mr. Lu to marry you formally with the three letters and six ceremonies, so why are you so unwilling?"
He now only hopes that Lu Mingchao's Chaofu Trading Company can become famous throughout the world.
By then, he will be able to deceive himself even in his grave.
Gu Huai placed the wine glass heavily on the table, spilling the wine. He frowned and asked sternly, "Is status that important?"
"Isn't it enough that I can protect her from the wind and rain, treat her well and love her, and allow her to live a life of luxury and comfort?"
Sun Zhiye's eyes flashed and he sneered.
It is confirmed that Prince Gu will not get Lu Ming Dynasty.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Huai's brows were wrinkled into a shape of a "川" (cross).
Sun Zhiye curled his lips and said, "Laugh at the high and mighty Prince Gu."
"The reason why Prince Gu thinks that status is unimportant is simply because the world's contempt, spit and prejudice are directed at her alone."
"To put it bluntly, her status is like a robe that covers her body. It is the basis for her to stand in front of others with dignity and splendor."
"The criminal said this, do you understand, Prince?"
Sun Zhiye's words reached Gu Huai's ears like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples and then silence.
"You are talking about a dying man, is that good?"
"She has no family background to rely on, and she is not innocent. She cannot walk through the main gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, nor can she enter the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"Isn't it a hundred times or a thousand times better to be my prince's concubine than to be a hunter's wife?"
Sun Zhiye blinked and said, "Prince Gu, are you in need of a concubine?"
"You know that she has been in the Yongning Marquis's mansion for fifteen years and has learned the courtesy, morality, and integrity of a noble lady. Isn't it deliberately trampling on her and humiliating her by making her a concubine?"
Ever since his defeat, his crimes exposed to the public, and the collapse of Sun Ji, he has been exceptionally calm and peaceful.
In his spare time, he reviewed his confrontation with Lu Mingchao again and again, and was convinced.
Gu Huai glanced at Sun Zhiye coldly, "You speak so frankly, but you have quite a few dirty thoughts."
Sun Zhiye smiled and said, "A gentleman would love to marry a beautiful lady, but the heart of the goddess Lu Dong is as strong as iron."
"To be honest with you, my lord, I once asked to marry Mrs. Lu."
"I promised to marry her with 70% of my grandson's family's property, but only asked her to divorce and marry."
"She drew her bow and shot an arrow to warn the criminals that if they did it again, they would be killed."
Gu Huai was restless and drank several glasses of wine in succession. His eyes gradually became blurry and no longer as clear as they were at the beginning. He asked in a deep voice, "She is actually good at archery?"
"It's not just archery. Her scheming, strategy and courage are just as good as men's." Sun Zhiye's voice was full of admiration.
What haunted his mind and dreams was this dazzling Lu Ming Dynasty.
Gu Huai was in a trance. How could the gentle and soft Ah Chao be covered with sharp thorns in just a few months? The sharp thorns pricked him so much that his flesh and blood were blurred and it was difficult to get close to him.
It’s Xie Yan!
It was the vulgar hunter Xie Yan who changed the obedient, gentle and submissive Ah Chao beyond all recognition.
Yes, it is Xie Yan.
Gu Huai imitated Sun Zhiye, tilted his head back and gulped down the wine, with a dazed look in his eyes, and chattered on and on about the past between him and Lu Mingchao.
The more he listened, the more strange it seemed to Sun Zhiye.
Accept it and accept it?
Hyun Hye and gentle?
Sewing sachets, making hangover tea, trying to please someone but getting rejected, and falling in love without looking back...
Is this the Lu Ming Dynasty?
If Lu Mingchao had a little bit of tolerance, he would not have fought with him to the point of life and death, and would have cooperated with him a long time ago.
A warm face and a cold butt?
funny!
He saw clearly that Lu Mingchao was the kind of person who would divorce him if he was ruthless.
The premise for Lu Mingchao's total devotion to Xie Yan was that he felt Xie Yan's deep love and loyalty.
However, after listening to Gu Huai talking so much, he finally understood.
What Gu Huai can't let go of is Lu Mingchao's gentle care and thoughtfulness, and what he misses is Lu Mingchao's wholehearted and selfless devotion.
Unexpectedly, Lu was a romantic man before the Ming Dynasty.
Tsk, if he was facing the Lu Ming Dynasty at that time, the outcome would probably have been reversed.
"Prince Gu, it is not advisable to be self-satisfied."
