There are naturally no secrets in the Marquis' Mansion. After a while, Old Madam Xu also learned about Gu Yanran's sudden fainting, and rushed over from her room.
In the room, Shen Qingqiu was feeling Gu Yanran's pulse. She was extremely anxious but did not dare to disturb Shen Qingqiu.
After Shen Qingqiu withdrew his hand, the old lady asked, "Qiu'er, what's going on? Why did Yanran suddenly faint?" She then looked at Yanran's face, which was covered with a thick layer of powder, and asked, "What's going on?"
Shen Qingqiu then said: "I got a miraculous medicine and wanted to treat Yanran's face, but when I was applying the medicine, she suddenly fell into a coma."
"Why did he fall into a coma?" the old lady was puzzled.
Shen Qingqiu said, "It was Princess Changping, that woman. When she destroyed Yanran's appearance, she put poison in her knife. If this face is not treated for a lifetime, it will be fine. Once it is treated, the muscles and bones will be reshaped, and the poison will spread to the whole body." This woman from Changping has such a cruel heart! Shen Qingqiu's expression was cold, and the old lady was also extremely panicked, "Qiu'er, what should we do now? Should we go to Princess Changping to ask for an antidote?"
"That woman is so cruel. Not only did she destroy Yanran's appearance, she also wanted her to be incurable for the rest of her life. How could she give us the antidote when we asked for it?" Shen Qingqiu curled his lips, "But it doesn't matter. I can cure Yanran's disease, but to remove the poison, I will suffer a lot. I will get back all of this from Changping in the future.
Seeing that Shen Qingqiu had a solution, Old Lady Xu finally felt relieved.
Then he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of treating Yanran's face?"
In fact, the old lady knew that her Princess Kangle was very capable, but she had never mentioned asking Shen Qingqiu to treat Gu Yanran's face, because she also thought that Yanran had made a lot of mistakes in the past, and now Liu and Shen Qingqiu, mother and daughter, were willing to treat her normally, which was already a rare blessing.
Shen Qingqiu didn't want the old lady to misunderstand him, so he told her everything about Dao Yue.
Then he continued: "But next I have to let the old lady play a scene with me. I want to see whether Dao Yue is worthy of Yanran doing this to him."
Knowing that Shen Qingqiu was capable, Old Lady Xu simply said, "Do whatever you want, I will cooperate with you."
Early the next morning, Dao Yue also came to the mansion.
Old Madam Xu and Shen Qingqiu went to see her.
Dao Yue knelt on the ground and said, "Old Madam Xu, I am here to cancel the engagement!"
Old Lady Xu frowned, "You want to cancel the engagement? Cancel the engagement with my mansion?"
Dao Yue kowtowed and said, "Dao Yue knows that the Marquis' Mansion has been very kind to me. It is really unkind and unjust of me to cancel the engagement, but..." Dao Yue didn't know how to continue speaking here.
Shen Qingqiu continued his words and said, "It's just that you suddenly found out that Gu Yanran is seriously ill and may be paralyzed in bed in the future, so you want to marry her home."
Dao Yue didn't say anything, but it was obvious that this was what he meant.
Old Lady Xu and Shen Qingqiu looked at each other, Shen Qingqiu nodded, and Old Lady Xu continued: "Dao Yue, your marriage with Qingqiu is not a marriage granted by the Emperor, so it is not difficult to cancel it. But you are also aware of what happened before. If you cancel this marriage, I am afraid your reputation will be bad, and you will inevitably be labeled as fickle."
Dao Yue knew that in order to avoid the emperor's arrangement of marriage, Shen Qingqiu used the excuse that he fell in love with him and decided to spend his life with him in private.
Now that the two of them want to cancel the marriage, since Shen Qingqiu cannot change his mind, then it must be him who changes his mind.
But for the sake of the one you love, what's wrong with being an unfaithful man for a while?
"The more willing the knife is."
Old Lady Xu shook her head, "But have you really thought it through? Qiu'er is a princess. Even if you and her are just a fake couple, you will have a lifetime of wealth and honor, and rise step by step. Although Yanran is also the legitimate daughter of my mansion, her parents died early, and she has been married before, so her reputation is not good."
Dao Yue doesn't care about reputation, and he likes Gu Yanran as a person.
"I have made up my mind."
Having said that, Old Lady Xu had finished her test, "You are a good person. Yanran has been injured once. I feel relieved to hand her over to you."
Dao Yue was stunned for a moment, "I was injured once. What injury?" He didn't care that Old Lady Xu had agreed that they should be together. Instead, he cared more about the injury that Gu Yanran had suffered.
Old Lady Xu couldn't help but feel more satisfied with him and said, "Let Qiu'er tell you. I have to go see Yanran."
Shen Qingqiu nodded, and the two of them watched the old lady leave.
After the old lady left, Shen Qingqiu told Dao Yue everything that happened that year.
Dao Yue originally thought that the wound on Gu Yanran's face was caused by an accident, but now he heard that she was scratched by someone personally. He was so angry that he punched the chair on the head, and a blue and white porcelain vase fell to the ground.
Dao Yue bowed and said, "My Lord, I am sorry for being rude."
At this time, Shen Qingqiu naturally would not care about these red tapes. She said: "The woman in Changping is vicious. It is not enough to ruin Yanran's appearance. She even poisoned the knife, causing Yanran to suffer so much." Which man can bear to hear his beloved being tortured like this.
What's more, Dao Yue, a martial artist, immediately picked up the knife and said, "I'm going to kill that evil woman and avenge her!"
When Shen Qingqiu saw that the man was really going to go out with a knife, she immediately stopped him, "You go to kill someone in broad daylight. Are you afraid that the people from the Jingji Prefecture government won't be able to find you?" The woman in Changping was a princess, after all. If not for this, she would have killed the woman long ago.
Dao Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go at night."
Shen Qingqiu didn't know whether to laugh at his natural talent or his courage. "What's the difference between day and night? She is a princess after all. Let alone you. It's hard for me to kill her now. And once the truth is found out, you are not afraid of losing your life. What about your family?"
Thinking of his mother, Dao Yue finally loosened his fist.
Shen Qingqiu was relieved to see that he listened to his advice, "You don't have to do anything to deal with this woman, I have many ways to deal with her," but now is not the right time.
That woman relied on Empress Pei, and she couldn't fall unless Empress Pei fell.
One day, she will make Changping, this woman, pay the price for her past mistakes.
The two were talking when Jin Cai suddenly ran out, "Princess, the fourth young lady, the fourth young lady has woken up!"
Shen Qingqiu was excited, "Really?"
Jin Cai nodded, and Shen Qingqiu hurried to go in and take a look, but then he remembered something and turned to look at Dao Yue, "You should go over too, Yanran should want to see you at this time."
"She wants to see me?" Dao Yue was a little unconvinced.
Shen Qingqiu shook his head, thinking that love in the world was hard to understand, "You'll know everything when you meet her."
Dao Yue was brought to the door of Gu Yanran's boudoir. At this moment, Old Madam Xu came out of the door and was stunned when she saw Dao Yue.
She was not the kind of unreasonable person. She knew what Shen Qingqiu meant, and also knew that Gu Yanran insisted on healing the wound on her face just for Dao Yue, so she said, "I'm leaving now. You stay here and watch over her for a while."
Dao Yue nodded and entered the room, while Shen Qingqiu was waiting outside the door.
Old Madam Xu reminded, "Qiu'er, you wait here. If it takes more than half an hour, you must knock on the door and ask him to come out." This single man and single woman, what would happen if they did something inappropriate to She Manni? The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion could not stand being ruined in the slightest.
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help laughing, "Old lady, what are you thinking about? Yanran is not such a fool, and Dao Yue is not that kind of person either?" Yanran was still sick and had just woken up.
The old lady snorted, "What do you know, little girl? Just do what I say."
Shen Qingqiu could only nod.
Gu Yanran had already woken up in the room. Dao Yue approached her step by step, but was a little afraid.
When he saw Gu Yanran's face completely, he was stunned again.
Gu Yanran also saw Dao Yue. She touched her face and felt that the scars on her face seemed to have disappeared a lot since she woke up.
I wanted to check in the mirror, but I didn't expect him to come.
"Can you help me hold the mirror?" Gu Yanran asked.
"Of course!" Dao Yue said quickly. He went to find a mirror for her again. He was nervous because Gu Yanran's boudoir was so small and the mirror was behind him. He searched for a long time but couldn't find it. It was Gu Yanran who reminded him, "Master Dao, the mirror is behind you."
Dao Yue then picked up the bronze mirror from the table and placed it in front of Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran looked at the face she hadn't seen for a long time. Since the disfigurement, she didn't dare to look at it again. Now the scar on her face has fallen off. Although the mark is still there, it is not so shocking. Qianfan passed by, and Gu Yanran couldn't help crying.
"You, don't cry..." Seeing her crying, Dao Yue was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
I wanted to wipe her tears, but seeing that the wounds on her face had just healed and there was new pink flesh growing on her cheeks, I didn't dare touch it and was very anxious for a moment.
When Gu Yanran saw him like this, she finally burst into laughter.
She had done too many wrong things in the past and missed too many things. Now she didn't want to miss any more, so she asked directly: "I have done many wrong things in the past and I have been married. Mr. Dao, are you willing to accept me like this and marry me?" Even though she knew that he had her in his heart, Gu Yanran was still a little nervous when asking this.
She didn't dare to look up, and Dao Yue didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Yanran thought he regretted it and was about to say something while biting her lip, but Dao Yue spoke up, "This is not what the Fourth Miss said, it should be me who said it. I have no ability and my official position is low, but I love the Fourth Miss with all my heart. You are talented, knowledgeable in poetry and literature, and you are willing to marry a rough man like me, which is my blessing."
When two people look into each other's eyes, they are filled with friendship.
Gu Yanran leaned in his arms, slowly closed her eyes, and felt an unprecedented fulfillment in her heart.
"It's been half an hour, Dao Yue, it's time to come out." At this time, an inopportune voice sounded. It was Shen Qingqiu's grandmother who followed the old lady's instructions and knocked on the door to let her go.
Dao Yue quickly let go of Gu Yanran and said with a blushing face, "I, I will come to propose marriage soon!"
After saying this, he left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him.
Gu Yanran looked at his back, feeling a little reluctant.
Shen Qingqiu stopped her, "Why, are you in a hurry to see your future husband?"
Gu Yanran lowered her head, "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
"I was talking nonsense. I heard everything you said just now." Seeing that Gu Yanran was so embarrassed, Shen Qingqiu said, "Okay, no more jokes. You should take good care of yourself these few days. When you are well, he will come to propose marriage and I will arrange the marriage for you."
Gu Yanran was stunned, "So anxious."
"After all, Dao Yue and I are engaged. If this kind of thing continues for too long, it will only give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. It's better to cut the Gordian knot." After hearing what Shen Qingqiu said, Gu Yanran could only nod.
So half a month later, the wedding between the Dao family and the Hou family was held ahead of schedule.
But on that day, people in the capital found out that the person Dao Yue married was not Princess Kangle, but the fourth daughter of the Marquis' Mansion!
Some were happy and some were worried. Gu Yanwei was happy, but the emperor was not so happy. In his opinion, Gu Yong was deceiving himself as the emperor by holding his own army!
But he really couldn't do anything to Gu Yong.
"Gu Yong, I'll let you run rampant for a while!" One day he would get rid of all these treacherous ministers.
