Chapter 543 Seeing Lu Youming
"My sister grew up in the countryside, so it's possible she lost her virginity long ago."
Gu Yingxue's words successfully calmed Lu Youming's anger. Seeing her tearful face, Lu Youming immediately hugged her and led her into the cubicle.
"So, they were already hooking up back then!"
Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Gu Shuyan became the laughingstock of the entire capital. Apart from her parents, no one gave her a kind look. Thus, within just a few months of returning to the manor, the eldest daughter of the Gu family had become infamous.
...
When Yun Yichen returned from his bath and change, he immediately sensed that Gu Shuyan's breathing was somewhat unsteady, and she was muttering to herself.
"Shushu? What's wrong?"
Gu Shuyan patted the blanket with both hands, her face showing great unease. Yun Yichen tried to wake her, but to no avail.
"What exactly happened?" Yun Yichen considered himself to have superb medical skills, but he was also somewhat flustered in the face of Gu Shuyan's condition.
He hurriedly retrieved the medicine box, and Yun Yichen pressed his hand on Gu Shuyan's Baihui acupoint, accurately inserting a needle. After inserting needles into several acupoints in a similar manner, Gu Shuyan finally calmed down.
Gu Shuyan woke up the next morning. Looking at Yun Yichen, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, Gu Shuyan moved her hands and realized that she still had silver needles stuck in her body.
Because of their wedding night yesterday, the maids got up late, so no one has come over yet.
Yun Yichen was fast asleep at this time, and Gu Shuyan couldn't bear to wake him, nor did she dare to haphazardly remove the silver needles herself, so she had no choice but to lie back down again.
With her eyes closed, the dream from last night seemed to still be right before her eyes. Gu Shuyan's expression was somewhat complicated. For some reason, she suddenly remembered all those scattered and unclear fragments from her past life.
Among them, Gu Shuyan glanced at Yun Yichen, who had also come to propose marriage.
Unfortunately, she was deceived at the time. When Gu Jin mentioned that someone had come to propose marriage, she was prejudiced and ignored the other people, assuming that it was Lu Youming.
"Shushu, you're awake?"
Gu Shuyan's breathing was unsteady, and Yun Yichen could tell just by looking at her.
"Okay!" Gu Shuyan nodded and sat up with Yun Yichen's help.
After removing the silver needles still stuck in Gu Shuyan's body, Yun Yichen finally couldn't help but ask, "What's bothering you?"
Yesterday, Yun Yichen performed acupuncture on Gu Shuyan three times. In his dazed state, he heard something about how he would haunt them even as a ghost.
How could a little girl who is only a teenager have such a curse?
Gu Shuyan knew that she must have said a lot in her nightmare yesterday. Seeing Yun Yichen's worried expression, Gu Shuyan said after a long while, "Husband, could you arrange for me to meet the Third Prince?"
Gu Shuyan's eyes were firm. Yun Yichen had long guessed that Lu Youming was his unresolved issue, but hearing it from Gu Shuyan's own mouth still caused him a pang of pain in his heart.
"good!"
Yun Yichen focused on Lu Youming and didn't notice the change in how Gu Shuyan addressed him.
Seeing that Yun Yichen didn't react at all, Gu Shuyan cupped his slightly dejected face in her hands.
"Is my husband unhappy?"
Gu Shuyan's ingratiating demeanor instantly dispelled any discomfort Yun Yichen might have felt.
"You! You've delayed our wedding night. Just wait till I get my hands on you."
"A little while? Aren't you going to attend court in a little while?"
Gu Shuyan was puzzled, and Yun Yichen couldn't help but tap her forehead. "I took three days off to spend time with you. Besides, what time is it? The court is about to end, and you're still thinking about going to court."
When Gu Shuyan heard him say that, she realized that she had even forgotten the time.
Scratching his head sheepishly, Yun Yichen couldn't resist pushing her down onto the bed, his thin lips pressing against Gu Shuyan's.
Despite not having a good night's rest, Yun Yichen showed no signs of fatigue. He rolled over while holding Gu Shuyan and instantly rolled onto the bed.
With mutual affection and things falling into place naturally, the wedding night, which had been delayed, was made up for on this bright morning.
Just as several maids arrived with water for washing, they heard seductive sounds coming from inside the room.
The maids blushed immediately and hurriedly ran away.
At noon, after having lunch with Yun Yichen, Gu Shuyan ordered a carriage to go to the Third Prince's residence.
Nowadays, the Third Prince's residence is practically deserted. At first, Minister Liu and Consort Liu would come to visit, but as time went on, they gradually stopped coming.
Upon seeing the Yun family's carriage stop, the gatekeeper hurriedly came forward to greet them.
"What brings the Grand Secretary here? Is there any business for you today?"
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked quite shrewd.
"Hearing of the Third Prince's accident, I have been wanting to visit him, but I have been too busy preparing for the wedding and have not been able to come. Now that the wedding is over, I have come with my wife."
Yun Yichen used to be the type who wouldn't say a word even if you said ten, but today he was talking so much to a doorman and being so polite. This was so unlike him.
Gu Shuyan couldn't help but glance at Yun Yichen, thinking to herself: There's something fishy going on, there's definitely something fishy going on.
"You're too kind, sir. To be honest, since His Highness had his accident, many people have been avoiding the Third Prince's residence. Apart from Consort Liu and Minister Liu who came a couple of days ago, you two are the first to do so."
As the gatekeeper spoke, he led the two inside. Along the way, Gu Shuyan noticed that it was difficult to even encounter a maid, let alone someone who cleaned the courtyard.
This was quite different from the Third Prince's residence in her memory. It seemed that Lu Youming had truly been abandoned.
After walking around the courtyard to the main house, Gu Shuyan saw Lu Youming sitting in a wheelchair from afar.
His figure appeared somewhat lonely and desolate, completely lacking his previous spirited demeanor. Coupled with the blow that had caused him to lose a lot of weight, he looked as if he had aged ten years.
The man dropped the two off here and left. Yun Yichen reached out to pull Gu Shuyan, only to find that her hands were ice cold.
"Are you alright?" Yun Yichen looked worried. Gu Shuyan smiled at him, shook her head, and asked, "Can I speak with him alone for a few minutes?"
Yun Yichen naturally knew what Gu Shuyan meant by "alone". Although the Third Prince's residence looked desolate now, it was hard to guarantee that no one was keeping an eye on him.
Nodding, Yun Yichen quickly gave the instructions.
Gu Shuyan walked forward slowly, her foot accidentally stepping on a dry branch on the road, making a crisp sound.
Hearing the noise, Lu Youming turned around slightly and saw Gu Shuyan walking towards him against the light.
"Woo woo woo!" Lu Youming made a soft woo woo sound in his throat, his eyes staring straight at Gu Shuyan.
"You want to ask me why I came, right?" Gu Shuyan seemed to understand what he meant.
