Chapter 192 Deep Affection
She had been fixated on that child because he had suffered misfortune and she wanted to make amends in every way possible.
But who can say for sure what will happen in the future!
Following the trajectory of his previous life, Yun Yichen would be called a traitor, and his fate would be uncertain. Even if Rui'er was born as he wished, he would only face an even crueler life.
Rather than living in constant fear with parents like them, it's better to be reborn into a good family and live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Brother Yun, let's go!"
Gu Shuyan stepped forward and grasped Yun Yichen's large hand. She actually knew nothing about this man, not even his identity.
Even so, Gu Shuyan still decided to be with him.
The emperor is cunning and suspicious, and his sons are no better. If Yun Yichen is truly a remnant of the previous dynasty, then she is willing to help him ascend the throne. As long as Yun Yichen cares about the people and brings peace to the country, what does it matter if it destroys the Great Zhou?
If Yun Yichen knew what she was thinking at this moment, he would definitely be shocked.
"It's getting late, let me take you home!"
Yun Yichen wiped the small wooden box in his arms, which he had originally planned to give to her from the rooftop of the attic.
It seems we'll have to wait for another opportunity.
When Gu Shuyan returned to the Marquis's residence, Gu Yingjie had already returned. Madam Ji was anxiously waiting outside the door, just thinking of sending someone to the General's residence to ask if Ji Wenxuan had returned, when she saw her daughter and Mingyu appear outside the door.
"You silly child, why are you playing so late? I was so worried about you."
Although there was blame in Ji's words, her face showed more worry.
Although Ji Wenxuan promised to take good care of Gu Shuyan, the child was very playful, so she couldn't really put her mind at ease.
"It was the first time I had ever seen such a beautiful lantern festival. I was so happy that I forgot the time and made my mother worry."
Gu Shuyan scratched her head apologetically, as if she was sorry for being late, but in reality, she was apologizing for lying to her elders.
"Alright, go back and wash up and get some rest!"
Hearing Gu Shuyan's words, Madam Ji did not say anything more.
Thinking of all the suffering this child had endured in the past, Madam Ji became even more determined that she could never let her be harmed again.
As for Li Yingxue, who had already been kicked out, Ji's eyes darkened. It was time for her to let go completely.
A few days later, the capital city, which had been quiet for so long, finally had a new topic of conversation.
This time, the target was none other than the eldest princess who had passed away many years ago.
Legend has it that before the eldest princess married the Duke of Anguo, she already had a man she loved, and the two even made a vow to grow old together. Unfortunately, the man suddenly disappeared without a trace, and that's why the eldest princess married the current Duke of Anguo.
"So, the Duke of Anguo actually picked up what others didn't want!"
Although the other party was a princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, in the eyes of most men, it was no different from picking up a used shoe.
"But I've heard that the Duke of Anguo and the Princess were deeply in love, a rare couple in their time. Could it be that someone deliberately said this to target the Duke of Anguo's family?"
Although many people gathered to gossip, quite a few also had doubts about the matter.
After all, it happened so many years ago, so it's rather unusual for it to be brought up suddenly.
"Targeting them? That's the Duke of Anguo! Who in the capital would dare target their family? Besides, I've also heard that the current Duchess of Anguo was originally his first choice for wife. I'm afraid the rumors of their deep and loving relationship are just that—rumors!"
