"You didn't offend me, but you offended him," Xiao Yan said casually, nodding his chin in Gu Linchao's direction.
The young man's expression changed, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Xiao Yan, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, said, "Your father is Guo Huai, but do you know who he is?"
"Who, who?" The young man looked at Gu Linchao uncertainly, noticing that although Gu Linchao's expression was aloof, he possessed an innate air of authority and a noble demeanor...
Could he be someone with a powerful background?
His voice couldn't help but weaken.
“He is naturally the son of the Duke of this country…” Xiao Yan spoke more and more fluently, but when he met Gu Linchao’s cold gaze, he automatically changed his words, “He is naturally the Regent.”
He said this casually, but the young man went limp and collapsed. If Ding Si hadn't been holding him up, he would probably have been lying on the ground like a lump of mud.
He looked at Gu Linchao with a deathly pale face, "The...Regent?"
Gu Linchao glanced at him indifferently, "I'd like to see how Guo Huai is going to cause me trouble."
The man shuddered, regained his senses, and then begged for mercy, "Your Highness, spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended you, Your Highness. Please forgive my lowly nature..."
Gu Linchao didn't want to see him. He glanced at Ding Si and ordered in a deep voice, "Take him away."
Ding Si was startled and dared not delay, so he dragged the young man away.
Because of this incident, the lobby fell completely silent.
The guests, regaining their senses, suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Regent! Long live the Regent!"
The sounds of worshippers rose and fell.
Guests who heard the noise rushed downstairs and knelt down in the direction of Gu Linchao.
"Long live the Regent..."
Gu Linchao frowned as he looked at the dense crowd. He glanced at Wen Nongnong and then suddenly said to Xiao Yan, "Nongnong wants to eat roast goose here. Try to get one and take it to the Prince's Mansion. We'll head over first."
Xiao Yan: "..." Could it be that he's just a tool?
Wen Nongnong was quite surprised to see the endless stream of people crowding in to pay their respects, because she did not see any fear on Gu Linchao's face, but rather a look of respect.
However, at this moment, she had no appetite and let Gu Linchao protect her as they left Qingfeng Pavilion.
Gu Linchao himself didn't realize that in his haste, he had put his arm around Wen Nongnong's shoulder and led her out.
Fortunately, the people simply wanted to pay their respects to Gu Linchao and did not do anything crazy. When they saw the two leave, they did not chase after them.
When they reached the carriage, Gu Linchao realized that he still had his arm around Wen Nongnong's shoulder.
He paused for a moment, then awkwardly withdrew his hand, somewhat unable to look into the girl's clear, glass-like eyes in his arms. He pursed his lips and urged, "Let's go up."
"Okay." Wen Nongnong seemed not to notice his awkward expression, glanced at him shyly, then lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
Gu Linchao stood for a while before getting into the carriage.
Ding Si, who was originally driving the carriage, had already taken the man to the military camp. Now that there was no one to drive, Gu Linchao had to drive the carriage himself.
Before long, the carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion.
Gu Linchao got off the carriage and tapped on the side of the carriage. "We've arrived."
Wen Nongnong came out from inside.
Just as Gu Linchao was about to fetch her a stool, she jumped off the carriage.
He frowned. "Be careful."
Wen Nong Nong said innocently, "Since Your Highness won't come to carry me, I have to get down by myself..."
