Do you know that person from just now?
Gu Jinxi nodded.
"I know him. That's Uncle Wenxi, my mother's former shopkeeper. He was so good to her."
Shen Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the first half of the sentence, but his heart jumped again upon hearing the last sentence.
That's outrageous.
Why are there so many despicable men around Gu Jingchun?
One after another, they come and go; it's incredibly annoying.
Fortunately, Gu Jingchun did not stay with Ye Wenxi for long, and the two soon came out of the restaurant.
Upon seeing this, Shen Hechuan immediately went to Gu Jingchun's side, constantly emphasizing his status as the "first wife".
Seeing this, Ye Wenxi said no more, bowed and prepared to leave.
However, before turning around, her gaze suddenly fell on Gu Jingchun's wrist, and she casually left a comment.
"The bracelet suits you very well, it's perfect for you."
After speaking, his handsome and refined figure disappeared into the crowd.
But Shen Hechuan's face instantly changed color.
He stared at Gu Jingchun.
"Did he give you this bracelet?"
Gu Jingchun: ...
She cursed Ye Wenxi eight hundred times in her heart before she finally opened her mouth to explain.
"He bought it, but I swapped it with him."
These words did not improve Shen Hechuan's expression at all. Gu Jingchun felt exhausted. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw Luo Ziqian hurriedly running over with Princess Rongyang.
Behind them followed a dozen or so men wielding long swords.
"Your Highness..."
"Brother Crown Prince..."
"Help……"
The two quickly rushed behind Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan, perfectly embodying the spirit of "cowardice".
Of course, they had servants around them, and hidden guards in the shadows. With just one order from her, they would be taken down immediately.
However, they still preferred Shen Hechuan to take the lead.
That way, Wang Younian will know he's been thoroughly humiliated.
So, the two hid behind Shen Hechuan and began to make various accusations.
“Brother Crown Prince, they are all from Prime Minister Wang’s residence. Just because I was with Brother Ziqian, they said I was blocking the Prime Minister’s eldest daughter from marrying Brother Ziqian, so they wanted to arrest me and sell me to a brothel.”
After Princess Rongyang finished speaking, the people from Prime Minister Wang's residence immediately said, "We are from Prime Minister Wang's residence. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Our swords don't discriminate."
Shen Hechuan sneered upon hearing this.
"Prime Minister Wang?"
"I have no idea what he's capable of, that he would dare send my sister to a brothel."
"Let's do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless people came out and quickly knocked everyone to the ground.
"Send these people back to Prime Minister Wang and ask him where he intends to send Princess Rongyang."
Wang Younian, who had been rushing over, was initially full of pride, but his face immediately changed color when he saw Shen Hechuan.
Looking at the woman behind Shen Hechuan, she guessed that she might be Princess Rongyang.
She immediately knelt down, ready to beg for mercy.
However, Shen Hechuan ignored her completely and turned away.
Because of this incident, their mood was dampened, so they simply returned to the palace.
However, before entering the palace, Shen Hechuan saw the rabbit lantern in Gu Jingchun's hand, snatched it away, and threw it into the corner of the carriage.
Gu Jingchun was still in surprise when Shen Hechuan placed the little dog lantern that looked just like him into her hands.
Seeing Shen Hechuan's awkward expression, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Princess Rongyang was surprised for a moment when she saw it.
"Wow, this lamp looks just like my brother, the Crown Prince!"
Shen Hechuan gave her a cool look, and she immediately shut up, but the smile on her lips was impossible to hide.
The next day.
Gu Jingchun had just woken up when he heard that Prime Minister Wang had brought Wang Younian to the East Palace to apologize early in the morning.
I heard that he knelt for several hours, but Shen Hechuan still didn't see him.
The news reached the ears of Emperor Rongcheng and the Empress Dowager, enraging them.
Finally, Prime Minister Wang sent the woman to a manor outside the city and gave Princess Rongyang many fine gifts, and the matter was considered closed.
Princess Rongyang received many fine things, but she didn't keep them all to herself. She also sent a few items to Emperor Rongcheng and the Empress Dowager. Finally, she took all the things to Gu Jingchun's room.
Looking at all the things on the table, Gu Jingchun couldn't resist Princess Rongyang's enthusiasm and chose a few items.
However, Emperor Rongcheng ultimately gave her almost the entire amount before he was satisfied.
This made Shen Hechuan quite happy, and he said that Rongyang had become much more sensible.
Another day has passed, and the New Year has arrived.
That day, after returning from Wanhe Palace, Shen Hechuan went to Gu Jingchun's room.
Gu Jingchun was making dumplings with Gu Jinxi, Lanxin, and Xiaoman when Shen Hechuan arrived and joined them.
Gu Jingchun had taught him before.
So after he arrived, Gu Jingchun transformed into a mentor and began to direct them.
After making the dumplings, the group gathered together and happily enjoyed a hearty meal.
Tianji and Dizhi were teased by Lanxin for never being able to eat dumplings with copper coins.
Shen Hechuan also sent a portion of the dumplings he had made to Jiang Xianhao.
Jiang Xianhao then sent her a dress that she had made herself.
Shen Hechuan was overjoyed. After many years of not being loved by his mother, he was suddenly being cared for by her. His heart warmed and he almost shed tears.
Looking at Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi's smiling faces, my whole being softened.
very nice.
He thought.
He finally lived the happy and fulfilling life he had always wanted.
The arrival of Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi brought unprecedented warmth to the usually cold Eastern Palace, allowing him to have the happiest New Year ever.
The next day, Gu Jingchun had just woken up when he heard Lanxin's greeting.
"Miss, Happy New Year and best wishes."
Gu Jingchun nodded and immediately presented a red envelope.
Lanxin immediately went out happily.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinxi and Xiaoman also came over.
Gu Jingchun presented each of them with a red envelope.
Looking up again, I saw a red envelope in front of me.
Shen Hechuan's deep voice rang out.
"Happy New Year."
Gu Jingchun accepted it with a smile and then offered one to Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan was surprised to find that he had one too, and was stunned for a moment before taking it.
A moment later, Princess Rongyang arrived as if flying.
After receiving several thick red envelopes, her expression changed, and she pulled Gu Jinxi to go and ask the Empress Dowager for more red envelopes.
She believed that with little Gu Jinxi around, her grandmother's red envelope this time would definitely be quite generous to you.
Oh, and there's also the Empress Dowager's side; she needs to take Gu Jinxi there as well.
Seeing that Princess Rongyang was in high spirits, Gu Jingchun did not stop her and went with them.
Shen Hechuan gave Tianji a wink, instructing someone to secretly watch over Gu Jinxi and ensure that he did not encounter any accidents.
