Chapter 293 Choice
Her soft lips pressed against the other's, and the electric sensation made Gu Shuyan startled. She instinctively tried to push the other away.
But Yun Yichen took the initiative and wrapped his arms around her, making her unable to move.
A sweet feeling swept over them, and the two couldn't help but deepen their kiss. It wasn't until much later that they slowly released each other.
When Gu Shuyan left the room, her cheeks were flushed, and if you listened closely, you could hear her breathing heavily.
Watching the little girl run away, Yun Yichen couldn't help but chuckle softly.
In the evening, Gu Yingjie returned and received a letter from Xu Yunzhi, asking him to bring Ouyang Bin over in three days to detoxify him.
Upon hearing the news, Ouyang Jing was overjoyed, but Gu Yingjie was filled with trepidation.
His father and elder brother had already told him about his elder brother's situation. Recently, at the yamen, he also sensed the flattery from the Fifth Prince's faction.
But at this very moment, the Third Prince extended an olive branch to him, and the benefit he offered was, of course, the restoration of his brother-in-law to his former state.
Gu Yingjie was caught in a dilemma, with no one he could confide in.
Watching Gu Yingjie drink himself into oblivion, Ji Wenxuan refilled his glass and asked, "Cousin, you're not usually one to drown your sorrows in alcohol! What's wrong with you today? Did your wife upset you?"
Ji Wenxuan looked completely carefree, which made Gu Yingjie feel even more melancholy.
Over the years, he had lived a carefree life, doing whatever he pleased, but this time was the only time he was in such a mess.
“You don’t understand. It would be fine if your cousin’s wife made me angry, but she just didn’t.”
Gu Yingjie downed another glass of wine as he spoke, "You know about my brother-in-law's situation, right? Now Jing'er only has this one relative left, and I really don't know what to do."
"So what if he's disabled? We can just support him for the rest of his life. Does the Marquis's mansion really need one more person to feed?"
Ji Wenxuan's relaxed tone further provoked Gu Yingjie, and those words that he had been keeping hidden in his heart finally found an outlet, which he poured out to Ji Wenxuan all at once.
Ji Wenxuan listened to Gu Yingjie's story as if it were just a story, but after sending Gu Yingjie back, he secretly went into the Yun residence.
Why are you here?
Yun Yichen said to Ji Wenxuan in an annoyed tone as soon as he saw him.
"What? You're not welcoming me at all? I brought you a message."
Ji Wenxuan looked at Yun Yichen lying on the bed with some curiosity, but being stubborn, he didn't look at Yun Yichen's bandaged wound until he overcame his stubbornness.
"What? Are you injured?"
Yun Yichen answered casually, roughly recounting his plot against him, before asking, "What information are you referring to?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wenxuan leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Isn't it because of your mortal enemy? Now he actually wants to drag the Marquis's mansion down with him. Tell me, should we help our second cousin out?"
"Smuggling? From the border regions?"
Yun Yichen's expression darkened. As the saying goes, those who understand you best are often your enemies. Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen knew what Xu Yunzhi was planning.
How did you know?
Ji Wenxuan was unaware that Yun Yichen was also present on the day Xu Yunzhi met Gu Yingjie, and that Yun Yichen had given him a chilling smile.
"Don't laugh like that at me, it scares me."
Ji Wenxuan was startled, shrank back and stood up from the stool, looking as if Yun Yichen was some kind of plague.
