Chapter 26: You won’t marry my brother anymore?

Gu Zhen pushed open the carriage window, raised the curtain, and looked at the woman who was staggering at the entrance of the village carrying a large backpack.

Gu Zhen felt more urgent when he thought that Lu Mingchao would become no different from a woman if he stayed here.

If she had known this would happen, she would have set up a yard for Lu Mingchao in Shangjing City and provided him with good food and drink.

Lu Ming's life was miserable, so wouldn't she, as a defeated general under Lu Ming for many years, be even more disgraceful?

Well, it's about her dignity and face.

A rich aroma filled her face. The woman stopped and leaned against the roadside, looking at the stunningly luxurious carriage. Her eyes finally fixed on the cute, smiling face.

Looking for Lu Mingchao?

Another noble from the capital?

"If you're looking for the daughter of the Lu family who was exchanged to marry the hunter in place of Lu Miao, just go straight ahead and turn right and you'll see her."

"That girl is very vicious. I won't tolerate any loss."

Gu Zhen was startled, her cute almond-shaped eyes were full of disbelief, her mouth slightly opened, and her eyelashes trembled rapidly.

Marry for someone else?

Lu Ming Dynasty?

Still fierce and unwilling to suffer losses?

How are these words connected to the Lu Ming Dynasty?

“I think so.”

"Thank you, auntie."

Gu Zhen put down the curtain absentmindedly, and suddenly a sense of mission arose in her heart. She tightly grasped the hand of the maid beside her and said, "Aqiu, I, your young lady, must save Lu Mingchao from the sea of ​​fire."

Ah Qiu had an extremely complicated expression. He recalled Buyan's repeated warnings and felt that this trip might not be smooth.

Miss Lu is getting married in the Ming Dynasty, but her husband is not the crown prince.

"Miss, you are right." A Qiu suppressed the worry and panic in his heart and agreed from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Zhen noticed Qiu's shaking hands and asked suspiciously, "Qiu, what are you shaking for?"

"It's so shocking." Qiu said half-truthfully.

Gu Zhen didn't notice anything unusual.

The wheels rolled over the loess road and stopped in front of a mud-brick house covered with red "囍" characters.

Outside the carriage, the guard whispered, "Miss, we're here."

Gu Zhen jumped down from the carriage and immediately saw the red lantern swaying in the night wind.

Are you really getting married?

Gu Zhen didn't bother to complain about the shabby and cramped courtyard and just knocked on the door and called out.

"Lu Mingchao, Lu Mingchao."

In Gu Zhen's extremely active mind, he had already pictured Lu Mingchao's pitiful appearance, with his face bruised and swollen from being coerced, threatened, beaten and scolded.

The more he thought about it, the harder he took the photos.

The debris and dust from the old wooden door fell down, making her cough.

The door finally opened.

"Hand over Lu Mingchao if you know what's going on, or I'll make you pay!"

When Gu Zhen raised his head, what came into his sight was a young man in elegant clothes who looked cool and picturesque.

The moonlight was dim, and the night wind was like mist, gently blowing through the tree branches.

The person in front of me is the vivid and lively one in the desolate and silent place.

It’s really beautiful.

However, no matter how good-looking she is, she cannot shake her determination to save Lu Mingchao.

"Who are you?" Lu Yao supported the wooden door with one hand, his brows slightly frowned.

Gu Zhen put her hands on her hips and raised her head and chest. "Listen carefully, I am Gu Zhen, Lu Mingchao's best friend."

Gu Zhen?

Lu Yao's eyes flashed, as if he had already understood the identity of the visitor.

Lu Mingchao finally wrapped himself in his cloak and pushed the door open. Standing under the eaves where the lanterns were swaying, he opened his red lips and imitated the original owner in his memory, "Zhenzhen?"

Why is Gu Zhen here?

This person really can't stand being criticized.

She was still hoping that Gu Zhen would bother Lu Minghui in Shangjing City, but she never expected that he would travel a long way to Changxi Village in this cold winter.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Zhen's eyes sparkled and she squeezed past Lu Yao and went in.

"Lu Mingchao!"

Seeing that Lu Mingchao was intact, Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After being welcomed into the house, Gu Zhen looked at Lu Mingchao carefully.

Her eyes were clear and bright, like spring water and stars, steady and transparent. Her overflowing smile was like a fallen leaf falling into spring water, creating ripples.

"Why are you here now?" Lu Mingchao asked puzzled.

Gu Zhen bit her lip and said in a cold voice, "If you don't come, you will be the hunter's wife."

Lu Mingchao touched his nose and thought that once she came, she would immediately become the hunter's wife.

"Has the news of my marriage spread throughout the capital?" Lu Mingchao joked with a smile.

Gu Zhen rolled his eyes. "How is that possible!"

"Lu Minghui kept the fact of her engagement in the countryside a secret, and not a single word of it leaked out."

"I was afraid that you would be injured and lose my people, so I thought of coming to the countryside to visit you. Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the entrance of Changxi Village, I heard the news that you wanted to marry in a substitution."

"Are you stupid? Lu Minghui has taken over your engagement and is talking about marriage with my brother. Why should you marry a hunter for her?"

Gu Zhen was filled with anger, and her face turned red.

Lu Mingchao frowned slightly. Since Lu Minghui intended to conceal the past, she would naturally not mention Chang Xicun. How did Gu Zhen know about it?

"How did you know I came to Changxi Village?"

"Not to mention that he happened to hear it when he was out choosing a town leader." Gu Zhen blurted out.

Lu Mingchao curled his lips, what a coincidence.

Is it that Lu Minghui cannot satisfy Gu Huai?

"Since you are here, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay for a day so that you can watch me get married."

Gu Zhen: …

"Lu Mingchao, if you are forced, just blink."

Lu Mingchao laughed and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

"My parents treat me very well, and I am willing to fulfill the marriage contract."

"Impossible!" Gu Zhen retorted without hesitation, "Hunter."

"Hunters are all big, strong, bearded, fierce, and rough. Your taste has always been for handsome young men."

"Don't lie to me."

"Lu Mingchao, although you are no longer the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquisate, you still have to live a good life and never let yourself fall into depravity."

Gu Zhen rarely talks and speaks earnestly.

Lu Mingchao suddenly felt overwhelmed. "Zhenzhen, I really do this willingly."

"Besides, Xie Yan is not what you say."

"Come on, I'll take you to meet my family."

Lu Mingchao pulled Gu Zhen towards the next house without saying anything.

Gu Zhen's eyes widened, her look filled with disappointment.

"Mom and Dad, this is Gu Zhen, born in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and Gu Huai's younger sister."

"Gu Zhen, this is my parents, my eldest brother, my second brother, and my youngest brother."

"I didn't feel wronged at all, and they didn't force me to do anything."

"I am fine, they are fine, and Xie Yan is fine too."

Lu Mingchao looked serious and sincere, without any forcefulness.

Gu Zhen was dazzled. How come everyone in this family was more handsome than the other?

Stay calm, stay calm!

Gu Zhen came over to greet him, then leaned close to Lu Mingchao's ear and whispered, "Didn't you swear that you would never marry anyone other than my brother?"

"Although I think my brother is not a good match for you, it's better than marrying a hunter."

"You are Lu Mingchao."

Lu Mingchao patted the back of Gu Zhen's hand gently, his expression calm, and his words calmly said, "Those are just some young and inexperienced nonsense, don't take them seriously."

Her brother is such a jerk.
