And when Dao Yue really proposed to be a fake couple, she felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her heart.
Maybe deep down in her heart, she didn't really want to marry Dao Yue.
In that case, why not help him and his sweetheart? Dao Yue hesitated and refused to say who the person was. Shen Qingqiu only said: "Although you and I know that our marriage is fake, it is really real in the eyes of outsiders, and our engagement will take at least four or five years to cancel. If you and your sweetheart are really in love, I can help you explain it to her."
In fact, to put it bluntly, this matter was also the Marquis's Mansion using the Dao family to ward off disaster, so Shen Qingqiu was also willing to compensate Dao Yue.
"What the hell are you talking about, Qiu'er, don't listen to his nonsense!" But Gu Yanran came over from the side, "Qiu'er, I never thought of robbing you of anything, I--" Gu Yanran was really anxious. After all, she had done too many wrong things in the past, and now she was afraid that Shen Qingqiu would misunderstand her.
Shen Qingqiu just glanced at her, then looked at Dao Yue.
"The person he said he likes is you?" Shen Qingqiu asked.
Gu Yanran finally understood what Dao Yue hadn't said to her just now, but it was the same. She had already made a decision since Dao Yue said that to her, "Qiu'er, believe me, although I have done many wrong things in the past, I really regret it. I have never thought of stealing your husband, and I don't know why he would say such a thing."
Shen Qingqiu said: "Don't worry, I believe you."
Gu Yanran was relieved when she saw that there was no anger on her face. She looked at Dao Yue again and said, "Master Dao, I don't know why you said that, but I have never liked you, and I have never said anything to you that would cause you to misunderstand."
Dao Yue certainly knew this, and he never intended to cause any misunderstanding between the sisters. He just looked at Shen Qingqiu and said, "Princess, everything between me and the fourth girl is just my wishful thinking. She has never had any communication or commitment with me."
Shen Qingqiu was amused. It was just unrequited love, but he had to go to this extent? This showed how strange the relationship between men and women was in this world.
"The reason why I told the princess was that I didn't want to deceive her, because I already have another woman in my heart." Dao Yue said.
Gu Yanran could only get angry when she heard him say that. "Then I also tell you, I will not be involved with Qingqiu's future husband. Even if you are fake, there is absolutely no possibility for me and you!" After saying this, Gu Yanran just picked up her skirt and ran out.
Dao Yue was standing there in a daze, seemingly still digesting Gu Yanran's words.
Gu Yanwei patted his shoulder but said nothing.
Shen Qingqiu looked at Gu Yanwei, "Your Highness, let's go out for a walk together. I just happen to have something to say to you."
Gu Yanwei nodded, "That's right, I also have something to tell you."
The two of them walked out of the house together. Shen Qingqiu said, "I wonder what on earth Your Highness mixed into the wine that day to make me so weak."
Gu Yanwei was stunned for a moment, "You are really smart, Qingqiu."
Shen Qingqiu's eyes turned cold, "I thought you were someone I could trust."
Gu Yanwei said: "I am indeed."
"You were in the past, but now I'm not sure." What Shen Qingqiu couldn't accept the most was someone hurting the people around her, especially lying to her.
This is the person she trusts the most. Thinking of this, she bit her lip and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. When did this person in front of her become the person she trusts the most in her heart, but she didn't even realize it.
He was like a gentle rain or wind that moistened everything silently, quietly occupying the place in her heart.
Gu Yanwei said, "But given your personality, if you really doubted me, you would have killed me a long time ago. Now that you are willing to talk to me, it means you are still willing to trust me, right?"
Shen Qingqiu bit his lip, "Don't think you really know me?"
Gu Yanwei smiled, "Qingqiu, I know you believe me."
Shen Qingqiu turned her head, "I don't believe you!" She spoke too hastily and like a little girl acting like a spoiled child. She paused, reorganized her tone, and then said, "I'm just wondering why you would do such a thing. Since you sent someone to kidnap Gu Yanran, why did you ask Dao Yue to rescue her? If you wanted to rescue her, why did you send someone to stab Dao Yue? If you stabbed him, why did you save him?"
Every move is a contradiction.
Gu Yanwei knew he couldn't hide it from her, and he didn't intend to hide it from her, "What if I tell you that all this is because of you?"
Shen Qingqiu said in disbelief: "Because of me?"
"Because I don't want you to get married to Dao Yue." When Gu Yanwei said this, Shen Qingqiu inexplicably felt something and didn't want to listen anymore. He was about to leave, but someone grabbed his hand directly, "Qingqiu, are you going to continue to escape?"
It was obvious that she could break free from him if she was ruthless. Even if the man in front of her had recovered from his illness and was no longer weak, he would not be her opponent.
But Shen Qingqiu didn't break free.
Gu Yanwei said, "Since I knew you were going to marry Dao Yue, I approached him, and thus I also learned that he had a lover. Dao Yue had been hesitant, so I pushed him. After I knew that the person he liked was Fourth Miss Gu, I designed this specifically, but..." Gu Yanwei's face was a little embarrassed, "I originally wanted Dao Yue to see his beloved going through life and death in front of him, so that he could see his heart clearly, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen."
"Yesterday's assassination was just a show. I had already ordered them not to hurt Fourth Miss Gu and Dao Yue at all. But Dao Yue actually regarded Fourth Miss Gu as more important than his own life and blocked the knife for him. If not for that, he wouldn't have been injured so badly."
Shen Qingqiu frowned when he heard this, "Whenever you use swords or knives, there will be accidents. How could you come up with such a plan?"
"Because I really have no other choice." Gu Yanwei said, "Because I don't want to see you marry someone else like this."
Shen Qingqiu was speechless immediately. She lowered her head and said nothing.
"In the past, I was terminally ill and on the verge of death. Even if I had someone in my heart, I didn't dare to delay that person for even a moment. But now my fate is the same as that of a normal person. Can I also dream of being with the person I love?" Gu Yanwei looked at her without blinking.
Shen Qingqiu didn't know what to say, what did it mean to be with the one you love, "You like her, does that mean she must like you too?"
Gu Yanwei said: "I don't know if she likes me or not, I only know that she desperately pulled me out of the gates of hell, and I also only know that she is the only warmth in my life.
Gu Yanwei looked at her again, "What about you? If you have no affection for me in your heart, why did you give me that good thing in Concubine Rou's hand?" He naturally knew what the thing in Concubine Rou's hand was. If he made use of it, it would not be a problem to gain a good reputation.
Reputation may not be that important to ordinary people, but it is of utmost importance to people like them.
Shen Qingqiu said: "I...I did that for Concubine Rou!"
Yes, she did it for her good friend, the Ninth Princess! Concubine Rou and the Ninth Princess were helpless in the palace, so there would definitely be struggles between the future princes.
Gu Cheng is a fool and it is obvious that he can't go far. Gu Yanwei is not only smart, but also well now. Even if he can't become emperor in the future, he will definitely be a talent with his intelligence. She just wants to find a support for Concubine Rou and the Ninth Princess in the palace!
Yes, that's all.
"I'm just using you," Shen Qingqiu said, "I'm not as good as you think. You don't have to think so well of me, lest you be disappointed in the future." After saying this, he left in a hurry.
"County, county lady..."
Wang Xi stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to retreat or advance.
Shen Qingqiu frowned and quickly passed by him.
After Shen Qingqiu left, only Wang Xi and Gu Yanwei were left in the room. Wang Xi's heart was pounding very fast... He was wondering why his usually cold-hearted Ninth Prince was so concerned about a wild girl who appeared out of nowhere. It seemed like he had fallen in love with her a long time ago.
Wang Xiben still thought it was impossible. After all, his prince was such a gentle person. If he really liked a woman, she should be a tender and affectionate woman. How could it be a princess?
But on second thought, although the princess was a bit wild, she looked very intimidating at first glance, and she was also very smart. Doesn't His Highness like smart people? Moreover, she saved His Highness. Women with tender feelings are everywhere, but it is rare to find such superb medical skills.
Thinking about it this way, the two of them are actually a perfect match...
However, the princess has already rejected his highness.
"Your Highness, don't be too sad. After all, the princess is already engaged. How can she marry two men?" Wang Xi advised, "There are beautiful women everywhere in the world. Your Highness is of noble status, and your illness has been cured. Why worry about not being able to find a beautiful bride in the future?"
Gu Yanwei just glared at him and said, "She has me in her heart."
Wang Xi was stunned: "How come he didn't see that the princess had you in her heart? How did you see that? Do you have a sharp eye?"
Gu Yanwei didn't know what Wang Xi was thinking. He just stared at the direction where Shen Qingqiu left. If he was not sure before, now he was basically sure that Shen Qingqiu had him in her heart... Otherwise, with Shen Qingqiu's personality, she would have rejected him directly in person. Why did she say something half-hearted and use Concubine Rou as an excuse? There was only one reason for all this, and that was that she... was shy.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanwei curled his lips and smiled. Since they both had each other in their hearts, he really couldn't find any reason to let the woman he loved marry someone else.
Even if it's a fake marriage, it won't work.
I thought of Dao Yue and Gu Yanran again. Dao Yue is really incompetent. He used to be hesitant and didn't know who he liked, but now he is sure who he likes and can cut the Gordian knot. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to win the heart of the fourth lady of the Gu family.
If Shen Qingqiu took the initiative to cancel the engagement, it would probably only be because Gu Yanran, the fourth daughter of the Gu family, really fell in love with Dao Yue, and perhaps she would give up her plan.
