Chapter 308: Will She Still Be Soft-hearted?

Nanny Wang treated Gu Huai well because she loved him and his family.

Gu Huai walked slowly towards the mourning hall, holding the bamboo basket respectfully in both hands, until he reached the coffin.

He gently lifted the bamboo cover, revealing a basket full of pear blossom branches.

A strange color flashed across Lu Mingchao's eyes, and his gaze shifted quietly, finally settling on Gu Huai's pair of cloud-satin boots that were covered in mud.

Did she go into the mountains to pick pear branches after hearing that she was handling Nanny Wang's funeral?

"Why do you bring pear blossom branches?"

After Gu Huai offered incense, Lu Mingchao asked with a frown.

Gu Huai looked deep in his eyes and whispered softly, "Madame Wang once said that her favorite thing in her life was the pear blossom paste made by Ah Chao."

"A Chao promised Nanny Wang that no matter how time passed, she would make pear blossom paste for her year after year."

"Even if Nanny Wang dies at the age of 100, Ah Chao will bring pear blossom cream to pay tribute to Nanny Wang."

Gu Huai's description evoked a vague picture in Lu Mingchao's mind.

In the picture, the original owner is still young and innocent, Gu Huai has a shallow smile and his eyes are gentle and caring.

That was the look that Gu Huai gave the original owner when he was young.

Lu Mingchao gathered his thoughts and frowned, saying, "We have finished offering incense, you should leave now."

"Achao, I want to talk to you." Gu Huai looked at Lu Mingchao stubbornly.

He was almost driven crazy by the dream of having a grand wedding with red makeup every night.

The gap between waking up from a dream became increasingly unbearable for him.

Gu Rong walked out of the mourning hall and stood under the eaves, saying expressionlessly, "There is nothing left to say to each other."

"see a visitor out."

Gu Huai wanted to go forward and pull Lu Mingchao.

Qingtang and Hubo stood in front of Lu Mingchao and said, "Prince Gu, please respect yourself."

"A Chao." Gu Huai's eyes were deep and forbearing. "If I say that you and I should have been a loving couple for life, would you believe it?"

Lu Mingchao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Is this the awakening of some extraordinary memory of past and present lives?

It seems that he has known Lu Minghui for a lifetime.

In this way, Gu Huai and Lu Minghui are a match made in heaven.

"I don't believe it." Lu Mingchao said lightly.

Gu Huai's expression revealed a kind of confusion that made it difficult to distinguish the present from the past, and he said anxiously, "A Chao, this is true."

"There is no Xie Yan, no Lu Minghui."

"Just you and me."

"You married me at the age of seventeen, and we were married in red makeup and worshiped together in the hall."

"You and I should have been husband and wife."

Lu Mingchao frowned and shouted coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Prince Gu, be careful with your words."

"Qingtang, get out and go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to tell the Duke and his wife that Prince Gu might be suffering from hysteria."

"For the sake of the century-old reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and my reputation, you must take good care of it. If you can't cure it, don't let it out and embarrass yourself."

"Achao, it's not hysteria." Gu Huai defended.

Lu Mingchao sneered, "If it's not hysteria, then what is it?"

“Is it a delusion?”

"Or do you still want to say something disgusting and malicious like you're suffering from lovesickness?"

"Prince Gu, I am a married woman."

"Oh, what do you mean by a loving couple? They are more like enemies with deep hatred and a life-and-death struggle."

"Otherwise, why would you keep saying these deadly words?"

Once the news spreads, the world will wield the sharp sword that has long been stained with the blood of women and attack her, strangling her in the name of etiquette, the concept of shame, the mask of gentleness and the shackles of chastity.

Would Gu Huai, who was born into a noble family, not know this?

Know.

But don't care.

Gu Huai's sense of superiority is innate.

"Get out!"

Lu Mingchao no longer looked at Gu Huai and turned back to the mourning hall.

The moment the door closed, worry flashed across Lu Mingchao's eyes.

Lu Minghui is a fool. Even with the memory of one lifetime, she cannot detect Ah Yan's secret identity.

Where is Gu Huai?

How much has Gu Huai awakened?

In the memories of Lu Minghui and Gu Huai in that life, did Ah Yan get his revenge?

Has the Xie family been vindicated?

No, she only cares about whether her Ah Yan can live long and long.

Judging from what Gu Huai said, Gu Huai should have only dreamed of the wedding for the time being.

But no matter what, Gu Huai is an unpredictable bomb that may explode at any time.

She didn't even know what caused Gu Huai to awaken his memories of that life.

Lu Mingchao sighed quietly, hoping that A Yan's trip to the north would go smoothly and that the war in the north would be safe.

She is blessed every day, and her husband does not need to worry about food.

It is not easy to restore order and take back the imperial power that belongs to Huaiqian.

The worst outcome would be a standoff between the two armies.

But in war, the people are always the ones who suffer the most.

I hope it won't come to that.

Outside the mourning hall, under the eaves, Qingtang Amber pushed and shoved Gu Huai out.

No words: I can’t see it, I can’t see it at all.

Even a servant like him could see that Miss Ming Chao disliked the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince seemed to have his ears and eyes blocked, immersed in a world of self-deception.

Especially these days!

I woke up every night by calling the name of Ming Chao girl, and could not fall asleep again after waking up. I sat alone under the window with a wine bottle, waiting for dawn.

He felt that if things continued like this, the prince would soon go insane.

In the past, he had not noticed how deeply the Crown Prince loved Miss Ming Chao. But as soon as Miss Ming Chao got married, the Crown Prince seemed to suddenly understand.

At first he was still somewhat rational, thinking of keeping her as a concubine or a mistress, but recently he has become obsessed and keeps saying that he wants to marry a girl from the Ming Dynasty.

If a girl from the Ming Dynasty met the Crown Prince, she would be in trouble.

"Keep an eye on your hysterical prince." Amber said coldly.

Before Bu Yan could say anything, the gate of the courtyard was closed with a "bang".

The raised dust splashed on Buyan's face, making him sneeze.

"My Lord." Bu Yan's eyes were filled with tears. "Shall we go back home?"

Gu Huai frowned. "Do you also think I'm hysterical?"

No words: Can he tell the truth?

Which normal person would take dreams seriously?

Bu Yan pursed his lips and said tactfully, "My Lord, you wake up in the middle of the night and are often disturbed by nightmares, making it difficult to sleep. If this continues, it will eventually harm your health. It is better to find a senior monk to interpret your dreams."

"The Buddha's teachings are extremely profound and may have different interpretations."

I hope there are eminent monks in the Buddhist temples around Shangjing who can relieve the prince’s obsession.

This kind of obsession hurts others and yourself.

Gu Huai's eyes lit up. "Yes, maybe there will be different interpretations."

"I have heard that Master Xuanxi of Chengchan Temple has a pair of wise eyes that can see through all the confusion and delusion in the world. Maybe he can point me in the right direction."

He said nothing but lowered his head.

"My Lord, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is in seclusion at Chengchan Temple. If you go to Chengchan Temple, you will inevitably..."

"Bad luck." Gu Huai said secretly.

"Then let's ask Master Xuanxi to interpret the dream when he is giving porridge and charity at the foot of Chengchan Temple."

Gu Huai didn't know that Lu Minghui already had a new branch she wanted to climb, and he was afraid that he would be entangled again if he was not careful.

"My Lord, when we return home, the Duke will punish us. Remember to protect the younger ones."

Gu Huai: ...

"No words." Gu Huai changed the subject. "A Chao allowed me to come in and pay respect to Nanny Wang. Does that mean she will still be soft-hearted towards me?"

No words: ???

What nonsense you are saying.

"My Lord, in my humble opinion, most of the girls in the Ming Dynasty will not be soft-hearted."

Husband and wife fall out
