Gu Qichuan took A Li all the way to the painting studio.
Zhao Hanying also got off the carriage and took a few steps forward.
Gu Qichuan turned around and said, "Mom, I have something to say to Ah Li. You go back first. I will send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhao Hanying: Is it really okay for you two to be alone together as a single man and a single woman?
"Okay, son, I'll be going back now." After saying that, Zhao Hanying turned around quickly, got on the carriage and left quickly.
Yucui looked at her wife's agile back and the corners of her lips curled up.
After all these years, Madam is still the same.
"Ali, come and push me."
"Yes." Ah Li responded and stepped forward to take the wheelchair from Songbai.
"Don't get on board, I want to talk to Ali alone."
"Yes, General." Everyone responded.
Ali pushed Gu Qichuan to the painting studio, and Gu Qichuan rang the bell.
The pleasure boat sailed slowly towards the middle of the river.
When they could see the shore, neither of them spoke a word until they reached the center of the lake. Gu Qichuan pulled the bell again, and the pleasure boat stopped in the middle of the lake.
The people driving the pleasure boats got on the boats and left quickly.
The distance was not far, and they could come back in time when Gu Qichuan called them, but they could not hear any sound from the pleasure boat.
Gu Qichuan took off the mask on his face and looked at Ah Li in front of him, and they both spoke at the same time.
"Ari."
"Brother Qi Chuan."
As soon as they called out this, the two of them confirmed each other's identities. Gu Quchuan opened his arms and Ali rushed in and hugged him tightly.
"Brother Qichuan, Brother Qichuan, I thought I would never see you again." Ah Li said with tears falling down her face.
Gu Qichuan tightened his embrace, he used up all his strength, he really didn't expect to see his Ah Li so soon.
The two hugged each other tightly, and after calming down for a while, Ah Li sat up straight and held Gu Qichuan's face with both hands.
His left face was covered with hideous scars from burns, and his legs were also truly disabled.
Ah Li was so distressed that tears fell straight down her cheeks. "Brother Qi Chuan, I will definitely cure you."
"I believe you." Gu Qichuan said gently, "My Ah Li is the best girl."
Ah Li's eyes were red, and Gu Qichuan gently wiped her tears. He couldn't help but get closer to her little by little, and finally hugged her in his arms and kissed her hard.
A kiss that lasted a long time.
"I will immediately ask my current mother to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage. I will try to move the marriage forward as much as possible. There are many crises in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you must be careful." Gu Qichuan said in a deep voice.
They are now living in this era and have to be subject to the restrictions of this era. Otherwise, Gu Qichuan really wants to take Ali away directly.
"I will be careful, don't worry. Your mother left Aunt Yucui to me, and you also arranged two thugs for me. They can protect me." Ah Li said, "Besides, I am sober now."
Ali also told Gu Qichuan about what happened when Shen Qingli came to save her.
"That eldest daughter really deserves to die." Gu Qichuan's voice was icy. "Don't worry, I will avenge you."
Ah Li's eyes sparkled. She came over and gave Gu Qichuan a kiss on the face, "Thank you, Brother Qichuan."
Gu Qichuan's eyes were full of doting. He could not get enough of looking at his Ah Li. She was much healthier now than when she was there before.
They can definitely go a long way together.
It's just that he is still poisoned now. Gu Qichuan didn't say much. He only told her everything bit by bit after Ali got married to him and went to the general's mansion.
The two chatted for a long time on the pleasure boat. It was getting dark. If it weren't for Ali's reputation, Gu Qichuan really wanted to chat with him until dawn.
"I'll take you home first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. I've been visiting you every day these days."
"Okay." Ali responded cheerfully.
The two men returned to the shore and got into the carriage.
Gu Qichuan personally sent Ah Li back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After getting off the car, Gu Qichuan was worried, so he arranged two groups of his own people to follow Ali, a total of twenty people, ten men and ten women. The female guards stayed in the house, and the male guards stayed outside the yard.
"Ali will soon be your mistress. You must protect her well and don't let her be bullied." Gu Qichuan warned in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord." Everyone responded and bowed to Ah Li, "Meet the mistress."
Ali's face turned slightly red. She and Brother Qichuan hadn't gotten married yet, so it was a little early to call her the mistress, but she was very happy.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Everyone looked at their mistress, who was beautiful and gentle as water, and they all liked her.
Go back and have some rest. Gu Qichuan was reluctant to leave.
Ali was the same. She had only walked a dozen steps to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion but had already turned her head back more than twenty times.
Both of them were reluctant, but they had to separate for now.
After entering the mansion, Ali clearly felt several unfriendly gazes.
Prime Minister Shen stood not far away and looked at Ah Li coldly, "Ah Li, come here, your father has something to tell you."
"Yes, father." Ali responded.
Aunt Yucui followed Ah Li and reached out to help her, then followed her into the front hall. Prime Minister Shen saw Aunt Yucui frowning and was about to speak...
Aunt Yucui leaned forward slightly and said respectfully, "I, Yucui, have met Prime Minister Shen. Miss A-li was a little frightened today and is not standing steadily. I will support Miss A-li. I believe that Prime Minister Shen is a kind father and will understand."
Prime Minister Shen glanced at Yucui indifferently. He had no idea how many soft knives like this he had received, so naturally he didn't care.
"Excuse me, Aunt Yucui. Please help Ah Li sit down and then leave. I have something to say between father and daughter."
Yucui pursed her lips slightly, she looked at A Li, and A Li nodded to her.
Yucui helped Ah Li sit down and then turned and left.
Prime Minister Shen looked at Ah Li for a long while and asked coldly, "How did you and General Gu know each other?"
"We didn't know each other before. We just met for the first time today. General Gu and I just got along well." Ah Li said in a low voice.
"Ali, don't think that just because you're married, your father can no longer control you."
Ah Li raised her eyes and asked, "Father, what do you mean by that? I am just telling you the truth, how come you are upset?"
Ah Li's voice is still gentle.
Prime Minister Shen saw that Ah Li was about to play dumb, "Ah Li, if a woman doesn't have the support of her natal family, she won't be able to stand up in her husband's family. Even if General Gu dotes on you now, so what? You will get old, and what he lacks the most is young and beautiful women."
Ah Li looked at Prime Minister Shen with deep eyes, "Father, in your eyes, is profit above everything else?"
"Do you think that women without the support of their families deserve to be abandoned?"
"Just like the top scholar back then, who decisively chose to marry into a rich family, ignoring the misery of his wife and daughter!"
"How dare you!" Prime Minister Shen smashed the teacup in his hand with a snap, and the broken pieces of porcelain exploded at Ah Li's feet...
