Chapter 177 My daughter has gone home first.
Gu Shuyan rushed into the Yun residence.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Gu Shuyan's expression was off, Yun Yichen put down his pen and walked over. But before he could get close, Gu Shuyan rushed over and hugged him.
The little girl wasn't very tall; even when she leaned against him, she didn't reach his chest. Yet, Yun Yichen could still hear her heartbeat quickening.
Suddenly, Yun Yichen didn't want to interrupt her anymore; perhaps holding the little girl like this wasn't so bad.
Gu Shuyan was a little tired from running. After calming down, she let go of Yun Yichen and looked up at him.
Will His Majesty demote you?
At first, she only saw him as Rui'er's father. Even when she wanted to marry him, it was because she hoped her son would be born again.
But now, looking at that face again, the face she originally thought resembled her son's, her emotions had changed.
Gu Shuyan knew that she had truly fallen in love with this person, not because of Rui'er, nor because of anything else, but simply because she liked him.
When Yun Yichen heard her say such things as soon as she opened her mouth, he immediately guessed that she must know the truth.
However, both the emperor and he kept this matter very secret, so even Gu Jin, the Minister of Personnel, could not have known about it. How could Gu Shuyan have found out?
He had doubts in his heart, but the worry in the eyes of the person in front of him made him feel more at ease.
"Don't worry, His Majesty won't demote me. In fact, he'll give me an important position!"
Yun Yichen spoke confidently, and Gu Shuyan's previous worries dissipated considerably.
She was too worried and made a mistake. Since Yun Yichen had been able to guard the imperial seal for three years, how could he be easily punished by the emperor? It's likely that throwing the imperial seal out was a deliberate act on his part!
Thinking this, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but punch Yun Yichen's chest twice.
Having stolen the limelight during the day, and now causing her to live in fear, Gu Shuyan was still somewhat angry, even though the other party had granted her wish.
"Since you are alright, I will take my leave now."
Gu Shuyan's tone changed and her form of address changed accordingly, which immediately made Yun Yichen feel uneasy.
Unfortunately, Lord Yun, who had been cold and distant for so many years, was not good at coaxing people. Seeing Gu Shuyan leave without warning, he simply stood there and watched her go.
I thought the little girl would calm down on her own in a few days.
But then, the incident of Ji Shi injuring Gu Shuyan occurred in the Marquis's mansion. When Gu Shuyan was seen again, it was already July.
Although Gu Shuyan's injuries were severe, fortunately, the medicine from the person the previous night was quite good, and with the skin-whitening ointment that Gu Renjie had given her, she was not left with any major scars.
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the Qixi Festival.
Gu Yingjie sent a letter to the Ouyang family early on, inviting Ouyang Jing to come out and enjoy the lantern festival.
Because of the emperor's decree of marriage, although the Ouyang family still treated Ouyang Jing badly and were even dissatisfied with her for not using her to climb the social ladder, the Gu family was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, Gu Jin was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel's assessment, so the Ouyang family did not dare to make things difficult for Ouyang Jing.
Today, Gu Shuyan wore a carved lake-blue floor-length pleated skirt and a trendy cloud-shaped hairstyle, adorned with colorful hairpins made of jade and gemstones, a stark contrast to her usual simple attire.
"Is my sister going to meet her future husband today?"
As soon as Gu Yingjie arrived at the gate, he saw Gu Shuyan, who was dressed beautifully, and couldn't help but tease him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Renjie lingered his gaze on Gu Shuyan for a second longer before turning to give Gu Yingjie a cold look.
