In the afternoon, on the green hill in the backyard of Guangping Hou Mansion.

Pei Yue, Ye Qi, Gu Zhen and Gu Fan were sitting in Cunpu Pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.

"It seems that Auntie has known about Miss Nanqin's existence for a long time." Pei Yue looked at Gu Fan and said.

After the two came back, Mrs. Zhao nervously and worriedly pulled Gu Fan to ask. Although she didn't explain in detail because Pei Yue and Ye Qi were present, it was not difficult to judge some profound meanings from her words.

Gu Fan glanced at his little sister and said with a little embarrassment: "Of course my father and my mother have known for a long time, and my mother even told her privately that if I really like Nan Qin, I can take her as my concubine.

"

Pei Yue couldn't help but think of Lin Shuyue, and then sincerely advised: "This might not be a solution."

Gu Fan shook his head like a rattle and said stubbornly: "I have no intention of marrying anyone else. She is enough for the rest of my life."

These words made Pei Yue feel a little ashamed.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that Gu Fan has such persistence. This genius has been different since he was a child. He has the best martial arts talent but refuses to join the army even if he kills him. He has no interest in officialdom, poetry or even businessmanship.

, all he wanted to do was wander around the world. Before he met Pei Yue, he had always had no fixed abode, hanging out with those wanderers. If he had a little money, he would go to Liyuan to listen to music and drink wine.

It's just that what he said was cool and unrestrained, but it was difficult for Pei Yue to accept it. After all, consistency is an excellent virtue, and he pales in comparison to him.

Gu Zhen coughed lightly.

Gu Fan came to his senses and said apologetically: "Brother Yue, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I prefer to live a life of freedom and freedom. If it weren't for the brotherhood between you and me, I would never take over.

Those trivial matters about the business name.”

Pei Yue smiled and said it was okay, and said calmly: "But uncle and aunt will definitely not agree."

Gu Fan sighed: "I understand, but I'm not interested in others. If I get married, I'll just worship him like a Bodhisattva. Wouldn't that be harmful to others? Forget it, don't worry about me. The boat is at the bridge.

Of course, there will always be a way in the future."

Pei Yue thought about it for a while and finally said no more.

There must be someone behind the Second Prince's provocation and trouble. The reason why he suspected Nan Qin was because it all happened by coincidence. As Gu Fan said, he and Nan Qin have known each other for many years, so why didn't anyone provoke him in the past few years?

How could a person of Liu Yun's level play the guqin? The owner of Zhaoqing Tower in Liyuan had the best qin skills in Kyoto. I don't know how many people like this Qinghuan secretly watched.

Whether it was when Nan Qin was still leaving the garden or in the two years since she was taken out by Gu Fan, nothing like today had ever happened. However, as soon as he came back, someone wanted to provoke enmity between the second prince and the Gu family.

If it were said that this incident had nothing to do with Nan Qin, it would be difficult for Pei Yue to believe it.

However, Gu Fan repeatedly expressed his feelings and even said in front of Gu Zhen that he would not marry anyone other than Nan Qin. He could no longer discuss this issue, otherwise there would inevitably be conflicts between the two.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit dull, Gu Fan took the initiative to change the topic and asked Ye Qi: "I heard that you killed Wang Liyang in the Western Region?"

Ye Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You don't believe it?"

Gu Fan smiled and said: "It's not that I don't believe it, I just heard that Wang Liyang is one of the top masters among the younger generation of Xiwu, so I want to know how much progress you have made now."

Ye Qi turned to look at Gu Zhen and said, "Your brother looks very unconvinced."

Gu Zhen smiled and said gently: "Sister Ye, you're welcome."

Ye Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll practice with him."

Gu Fan happily said: "In the more than half a year since you left Kyoto, I fought against all the invincible opponents in the city. The life was really boring. Fortunately, you are finally back. But I can explain in advance that I have improved a lot in my martial arts during this time. Just in case.

If you lose to me, you can't complain to Brother Yue."

In fact, all the smart people in the pavilion knew the purpose of Gu Fan's sudden attack. It was just to create a space for Pei Yue and Gu Zhen to talk alone. After all, these two people had not seen each other for a year and a half.

After the two left, Gu Zhen glanced at Pei Yue, who had a gentle expression, and lowered her head involuntarily.

"Sister Zhen'er." Pei Yue said.

"Yeah." Gu Zhen responded a little shyly.

Pei Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I told my aunt about something this morning."

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhen's voice trembled slightly.

Although she is not as experienced as Ye Qi, she is no less smart and resourceful. How could she not guess what Pei Yue wanted to say? It's just that she is shy by nature, and it is difficult for her to talk about her life-long events calmly.

Pei Yue smiled and said, "I told my aunt that I want to marry you."

"ah?"

Even though she had been mentally prepared, after hearing Pei Yue's straightforward words, Gu Zhen felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her slender eyelashes could not help but tremble, and her beautiful face seemed to be dyed red, and she quickly turned around to avoid it.

Pei Yue looked at him and said nothing for a long time.

The education she received since she was a child was the advice of matchmakers ordered by her parents. She took the initiative to express her feelings to Pei Yue for an unknown amount of time, and she didn't get straight to the point like Pei Yue, but was just tactful and indirect.

The smile on Pei Yue's face was very gentle. Looking at Gu Zhen's perfectly curved profile and her naturally charming and timid charm, he pretended to be disappointed and asked: "Sister, don't you want it?"

Gu Zhen replied with difficulty: "I...I don't know..."

Even if she really wanted to, it would be difficult for her to say these two words due to her temperament.

Pei Yue sighed softly and said slowly: "If sister is really unwilling, then I will go and talk to aunt."

"No!" Gu Zhen suddenly raised her voice, then turned to look at Pei Yue.

However, after seeing the smile in Pei Yue's eyes and his motionless posture, she still didn't understand that this guy was joking, and couldn't help but said in annoyance: "Brother Pei is not a good person!"

Pei Yue laughed loudly and said: "Sister, don't blame me, I was just joking with you. I already understood your intentions that day by the lotus pond. From that time on, I thought about taking good care of you for the rest of my life."

Gu Zhen glared at him without any killing power. Why didn't she realize that he was so thick-skinned before? How could she say these words in front of his face, even though she was very happy to hear them.

Perhaps because she didn't want Pei Yue to talk any more, Gu Zhen asked, "Does Sister Ye know about this?"

Pei Yue repeated the method he had told Zhao before, and then looked at Gu Zhen nervously. He knew that the woman in front of him was weak on the outside, but in fact she was very independent in her heart. If she didn't want to, even if Gu Liang came forward, she wouldn't do it.

Can't change her mind.

However, after hearing this, Gu Zhen had no other emotions. She just nodded gently and said, "Okay."

This time it was Pei Yue's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Gu Zhen to agree so happily.
