Chapter 95 Pirate Ship
Gu Shuyan turned around and saw Gu Yingxue following behind Lu Youming with a shy expression not far away.
It was only a short while before Gu Yingxue appeared; her speed was truly astonishing.
“Miss Gu, it is improper for men and women to have physical contact. Your continued presence with me is against etiquette.”
Lu Youming was clearly displeased with Gu Yingxue's behavior.
They didn't know each other at all, but from the moment this person saw him, she acted as if they were old friends, and even insisted on going with him to change clothes. No lady from a respectable family would do such a thing.
Gu Yingxue didn't care about any of that. Her purpose in coming today was for these princes. It was just a matter of being a little thick-skinned. Compared to living under someone else's roof, what did being a little thick-skinned matter?
If she can marry into the royal family as she wishes, let's see if those people in the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion still dare to give her attitude.
Gu Yingxue, who was determined to trample the Gu family underfoot, had completely forgotten all the etiquette that Ji Shi had taught her over the years.
"Your Highness, it was all because I was careless and got your clothes dirty. It is only right and proper that I accompany you on this journey."
Gu Yingxue didn't detect the impatience in Lu Youming's tone at all, and continued to follow behind him, feigning concern.
Upon hearing this, Lu Youming couldn't say anything too harsh to a young woman. Besides, she had said it was because she was worried about him, so what could he do? He could only let her be!
Seeing Lu Youming stride ahead, Gu Yingxue jogged after him.
Glancing at Lu Youming's face out of the corner of her eye, Gu Yingxue couldn't help but gasp. This man was simply too handsome; so handsome that even she, as a woman, felt a sense of inferiority.
Coupled with Lu Youming's deliberately gentle and refined demeanor, Gu Yingxue was instantly captivated by his appearance.
As expected of one of the most handsome men in Northern Zhou, just looking at him was enough to make one blush and their heart race. In addition, the Third Prince was as approachable as rumored, and Gu Yingxue was quickly captivated.
Standing at a distance, Gu Shuyan watched Gu Yingxue's lovestruck expression and couldn't help but snort coldly.
These two are birds of a feather, and they've finally gotten together again.
In their past lives, the two were in cahoots, so how could she bear to separate them?
"Why is Miss Gu with the Third Prince?"
Looking at the two people in the distance, Ouyang Jing felt as if she had seen something extraordinary.
Especially when faced with Gu Shuyan's teasing gaze, Ouyang Jing always felt like she had been forced onto a pirate ship.
What does Miss Ouyang think?
Gu Shuyan raised an eyebrow; she was eager to hear what Ouyang Jing would have to say.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jing thought for a moment. As far as she knew, Gu Yingxue had reached the age where she could discuss marriage.
As for the Gu family, a first-rank marquis's mansion, if it were the former Gu Yingxue, she would naturally have been able to choose any of the sons of powerful and wealthy families in the capital.
But now that the truth about the real and fake heiress has come out, Gu Yingxue's identity is inevitably in an awkward position. Even though she is still a young lady of the Gu family, it is certainly unlikely that she can find a good marriage.
Having grown accustomed to being high and mighty, Gu Yingxue would naturally not allow herself to marry down. Therefore, her best option now is to find a stronger backer before the Gu family arranges a marriage for her.
Even greater backers than the Gu family were the imperial relatives, among whom the princes were naturally the most powerful.
However, the eldest prince, who is now the crown prince, already has a principal wife, while among the princes of marriageable age, only the third prince is still unmarried.
