Chapter 415 Forced Admission
"In Miss Gu's heart, I'm afraid I'm no longer a gentleman!"
Although Gu Shuyan didn't explicitly show her dislike for Xu Yunzhi, Xu Yunzhi could sense that Gu Shuyan didn't like him.
"Young Master Xu is quite self-aware, but those who can associate with Lu Youming are certainly not good people."
Gu Shuyan really couldn't understand why someone like Xu Yunzhi, who should have his own pride, would do things for Lu Youming.
"Miss Gu seems to have a great prejudice against Lu Youming. Could it be that Miss Gu and Lu Youming have a grudge against each other? Or rather, when did Lu Youming offend you?"
Xu Yunzhi had long noticed Gu Shuyan's dislike for Lu Youming, and he also suspected that Gu Shuyan was intentionally targeting Lu Youming after Luo Hao's death.
Seeing Gu Shuyan's current state, he was certain of his guess: Gu Shuyan indeed disliked Lu Youming, and even loathed him.
"Young Master Xu is overthinking it. Lu Youming has not offended my daughter, so there is no possibility of him taking revenge."
Gu Shuyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Xu Yunzhi's words. She had mentioned Lu Youming, and Xu Yunzhi had followed her lead and addressed Lu Youming by his full name, without even using the title "Third Prince." It seemed that Xu Yunzhi wasn't truly sincere in being Lu Youming's advisor.
"If Miss Gu doesn't want to admit it, then so be it. But whether there's any grudge between them or not, Miss Gu herself knows the answer."
Xu Yunzhi was naturally perceptive, and he believed he hadn't misjudged Gu Shuyan; she did indeed harbor hatred towards Lu Youming.
However, since Gu Shuyan herself doesn't admit it, he won't force her to admit it.
The two guessed at each other in cryptic terms, but neither dared to expose the other's final pretense.
"Now that you've asked all these questions, Young Master Xu, can you tell me the purpose of your visit?"
Gu Shuyan didn't believe that Xu Yunzhi had come all this way in the middle of the night just to ask this. Xu Yunzhi smiled and said, "As expected, Miss Gu is very intelligent. Actually, I came today to tell you some good news. Before long, your marriage with Yun Yichen will be canceled, and you will eventually become my wife."
Xu Yunzhi's eyes were full of smiles, and for a moment Gu Shuyan had a strange feeling when she looked at his face.
"Young Master Xu, please be careful with your words. My marriage to Brother Yun has already been arranged. How can you cancel it with just a word? If you came here just to spout nonsense, I can only answer that it's impossible."
Gu Shuyan looked displeased with a cold expression, and Xu Yunzhi's smile widened when he saw that she didn't believe him.
He knew Gu Shuyan would have this expression before he arrived, and he was right. Xu Yun's son thought he understood Gu Shuyan, but think about it, who would be happy to hear that?
"Miss Gu, please don't be angry. Actually, the real reason I came here is to tell you to be careful lately and it's best not to go out."
Xu Yunzhi didn't linger any longer, but glanced back at Gu Shuyan and instructed, "Remember not to go out." Then he left Gu Shuyan's room.
Gu Shuyan was baffled by Xu Yunzhi's words. She had no intention of going out anyway. Had Xu Yunzhi gone mad? To say such nonsensical things so late at night, was he just bored?
Gu Shuyan didn't take Xu Yunzhi's words to heart at all. She pulled the blanket over herself, feeling extremely sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Xu Yunzhi had just jumped out of the general's mansion when a figure blocked his way.
"Why are you looking for Shushu?"
Yun Yichen spoke coldly, his gaze towards Xu Yunzhi filled with hostility.
Although he was more tolerant of Xu Yunzhi, it didn't mean he could tolerate him going to Gu Shuyan's room. After all, she was his little wife, and it felt really bad to be coveted by someone.
"Of course I have something to say to Miss Gu, otherwise why would I be bored?"
Xu Yunzhi's smile faded, and he stepped forward to meet Yun Yichen's gaze.
"That little girl is very interesting, and I like her very much."
Xu Yunzhi's words almost made Yun Yichen explode instantly, "I'm warning you, don't touch her."
Xu Yunzhi listened to Yun Yichen's words as if he had heard a joke. What did he mean by not being allowed to touch her? He had no intention of touching her at all! He just wanted to poach her and make her his own.
"Touch her? I cherish her too much to care for her. How could I possibly touch her? But you, don't you know it's dangerous for you to get close to her?"
Xu Yunzhi poked Yun Yichen's chest, a hint of displeasure creeping onto his lips. Seeing Yun Yichen now made him want to fight him right away.
Seeing this, Yun Yichen merely glanced at him and turned to return directly to the Yun residence.
"Tell that person not to push me to my limits."
After Yun Yichen disappeared, his cold words finally reached Xu Yunzhi's ears. Looking at the empty street, a look of worry unconsciously appeared on Xu Yunzhi's face.
Gu Shuyan slept very soundly, because the division of the family property by the second branch was over, and she could simply watch the show from now on.
The second branch of the family did not disappoint Gu Shuyan either, because Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe were left with the first branch. As their biological mother, Aunt Qiao naturally had to argue with the second master about this.
When it was learned that the new wife had speculated about this matter, the struggle between the two families officially began. With her son by her side and her attitude towards Master Gu improved, Aunt Qiao gradually regained some of Master Gu's favor.
The new wife was young and beautiful, and as the principal wife, she naturally wanted to suppress Aunt Qiao. For a time, no one had time to pay attention to the main branch of the family.
Such struggles never stop happening in just one household. For example, in the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence, ever since that concubine took notice, she has slowly begun to implement her plan.
In order to get rid of Li Yingxue's child without anyone noticing, the concubine went to great lengths to find a way that would not arouse suspicion. Finally, her efforts paid off, and with Fei'er's deliberate guidance, the concubine finally found a way.
That day, as usual, after getting up, Li Yingxue first took some tonics to help with pregnancy, ate some food that suited her taste, and then went for a stroll in the yard.
Just as Li Yingxue was getting a little hungry from shopping, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
Li Yingxue, who was pregnant, was very sensitive to food. Attracted by the aroma, she disregarded the fact that she was only taking a walk in the courtyard and took Fei'er directly to follow the scent outside.
"Fei'er, go see what they're doing over there?"
When she arrived at the source of the aroma, Li Yingxue turned her head slightly and saw a little maid squatting in front of the stove roasting something.
"Yes, Madam." Fei'er turned around and walked towards the little maid after receiving the order. Unexpectedly, the little maid was startled when she heard a noise behind her.
