Chapter 35 Can he make you feel comfortable?
Facts have proved that Shen Wangshu's choice was correct. The two little girls Taohong and Lvliu were frightened like quails, their bodies limp and unable to move.
Mei Xue and Wu Tong had followed the Duke's wife for many years and had seen all kinds of big scenes. Even when someone stabbed them with a sword, they reacted calmly and quickly dodged. The two female secret guards sent by Chen Ting quickly stepped forward and started fighting with Gu Ziliang.
Gu Ziliang is a man who is good at saying sweet words. On the surface, he seems to be a love-brained person, but his moves are ruthless and deadly. He can fight back and forth with two secret guards alone.
But the people sent by Chen Ting were no fools, and Gu Ziliang was eventually at a disadvantage, with a sword pointed at his throat by one of the secret guards.
Worried that the noise here would attract other people, and considering Gu Ziliang's nonsense, he would be hard to explain if he was discovered, Shen Wangshu stopped the secret guard who was about to kill and silence him: "Wait! This man can't be killed!"
The two men looked at each other, and finally put down their swords. Instead, they tied up Gu Ziliang's hands and feet, who was full of shame and anger, and threw him to the ground without any courtesy.
They were sent by the general to protect the lady, and the lady was the master, so they had to do whatever the master said.
Having lost face in front of his sweetheart, Gu Ziliang's face turned red with shame. He pursed his lips and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
If it weren't for his status, Mei Xue would have wanted to kick him and said sarcastically, "How dare anybody get close to our lady? I think you are just attracted by her beauty!"
Tao Hong angrily shouted with a trembling voice: "You even have a child, how dare you bother others?"
Shen Wangshu asked the two little girls to calm down, looked down at the embarrassed prince, and asked him: "What is your purpose in coming here from afar? Do you want to capture me and take me back to the emperor to plead guilty?"
Prince Bao is the brother of the current emperor. He used to be close to the Shen family. As far as I can remember, the two families almost became friends. But that was before the family was confiscated. After the incident at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, all those who were close to them before wanted to sever all ties with them, for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion. Prince Bao is probably no exception.
Even worse, maybe he had already learned about the Shen sisters, so he took the initiative to send Gu Ziliang to capture her and bring her back to the capital - on the surface, Shen Wangshu is useless, but the emperor is famous for his love of beauty, and it is not impossible that Shen Wangshu, a beautiful young lady, was sent to serve the old man.
When she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but shudder and felt disgusting and creepy.
The old emperor is already so old this year, it would be fine if he didn't die, but why is he still playing so extravagantly? Can his body bear it?
Gu Ziliang saw the alertness and strangeness in Shen Wangshu's eyes, and said anxiously: "How could I do this! I secretly ran away from home to find you, and even my father didn't know!"
Shen Wangshu didn't trust him: "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to take you away, Nian Nian..." Gu Ziliang was still on the ground, looking up at her infatuatedly, "Can I take you home? You don't have to stay in this desolate Moyun City. I heard that this border area is often harassed by foreigners. You never know when the city will be broken. How can this place be as safe as the capital?"
"Come back with me, I will find a house to support you, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Even if I get married in the future, I will never treat you unfairly."
"......" Shen Wangshu was really fed up with his self-righteous face: "I am a good general's wife, but I risked being beheaded to go back to the capital with you, and then live a shameful life every day, hiding my identity for the rest of my life??"
She was deeply confused: "Am I mentally ill? Why would I do this?"
Gu Ziliang said without hesitation: "Because there is love between us! Don't you want to see me every day? Even if I get married, the person I love most must be you. I will come to see you every day."
What a love.
Shen Wangshu was speechless: “Your Highness has been out alone for so long, if you have had enough fun, you should go back quickly.”
"You, you don't want to go with me?" Gu Ziliang looked at her in disbelief: "Why? Why don't you want to go with me?"
Shen Wangshu now deeply felt that there was a communication barrier between them. She said a lot, but this person didn't listen to a word she said. His heart and mind were completely immersed in his great love, and they couldn't communicate at all.
In order to prevent Gu Ziliang from running off to some other place and going crazy, thus ruining her reputation, Shen Wangshu simply asked two secret guards to tie him up tightly and throw him in a corner on the other side of the pavilion, while she continued to do what she was supposed to do.
"Niannian, let me go quickly. Why are you doing this to me?" Gu Ziliang twisted and turned on the ground, moving closer to her feet. A minute later, he was fixed to the pillar, completely unable to move. Only his mouth could still speak.
"Have you forgotten our past? We were so happy before, we were childhood sweethearts, and you said you would marry me when you grow up. Why did lovers end up parting ways..." He was about to cry as he spoke, but Shen Wangshu impatiently stuffed a piece of dry biscuit into his mouth to stop him from chattering.
Gu Ziliang was indeed quiet for a while, and his ears were quiet. Shen Wangshu went to feed the fish and admire the lotus with satisfaction, while thinking about how to explain to him when Chen Ting came over and saw him.
Should I tell the truth or deny it?
He couldn't deny it, he would find out eventually - they had just had a fight over their identities that night, if he triggered Gu Ziliang's big bomb...
Shen Wangshu didn't want to bear the wrath of the general, as their relationship had finally made some progress.
"Nian Nian, come back with me. You obviously never forgot me..." Gu Ziliang's voice appeared again. Shen Wangshu looked back and saw that the man swallowed the dry biscuit in his mouth with his neck stiff. He was still trying to provoke: "Although you were not in good health before, you were never as haggard as you are now."
He licked the beauty's face inch by inch with a loving gaze: "I love you. If I marry you, I will definitely do better than Chen Ting."
"What else can he do besides fighting? Can he compare to me?" Gu Ziliang said jealously, "He is so old and there is no woman around him. Does he know how to make you feel comfortable?"
"Many people say that he doesn't marry because he is impotent. Have you consummated your marriage with him? If I were here, I would definitely make Nian Nian forget what the world is..."
The words became more and more unbearable to hear, and Shen Wangshu said in disgust: "Shut up!"
What kind of vision did the original owner have? How could he fall for such a scumbag?
As a foreign man, how can you casually say such things to a married woman? If this isn't outright harassment, what is?
