Gu Qingyuan's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone straightened their backs unconsciously.
Lu Wenze guessed that there would be some trouble when he came to talk about these things today, but Lu Wenze still wanted Gu Qingyuan to understand.
"Ayuan..."
Gu Qingyuan smiled,
"When you and I got engaged, I really thought about living a good life with you from now on."
"None of us are perfect, I thought we still had a chance to get along."
"As long as you say it sincerely, we can solve it together. Why do you want to hide it from me and hang out with Gu Yunniang secretly?"
"If the Lu family wants a new bride, you can just say so. It's not that I can't accept it."
She smiled self-deprecatingly,
"Lu Wenze, thank you for trying to save me again and again, but it is no longer possible between us. No matter what you do, you can't go back to the past."
"Now, my husband is Pei Jingheng. It will only be him."
Gu Qingyuan's cold eyes fell on Lu Wenze, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said in a deep voice,
"Master Lu, don't make people anxious, otherwise..."
As she said this, she saluted Mrs. Chengen's body.
"Mother, if Lord Lu has something to ask you, my daughter-in-law will not disturb your conversation."
Lu Wenze is still unwilling to accept the fact that there is no longer a relationship between the two.
When Gu Qingyuan turned around and left, she found that Lu Wenze's eyes were red.
He seemed to have been caught in the rain, and his whole body looked frustrated.
When Gu Qingyuan's figure disappeared, he said dumbly to Mrs. Cheng'en in the corridor,
"Madam, I came here today because of the affairs of the third young master of your house..."
Although it was not what he wanted, it seemed that from the eve of the wedding, he saw that everything between him and her was messed up.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Lu Wenze didn't know what else he could do.
He was reluctant to do anything to Gu Qingyuan, so he had no choice but to operate on Pei Jinting.
In the capital, there was an uproar about the incident where the third son of the Pei family forced a good woman to rape and killed two people.
For a time, Pei Jinting could be said to have become the talk of everyone after dinner, and many people asked Jingzhao Mansion to give an explanation.
It's just that the protagonist who was talked about after dinner is not in Beijing now.
Pei Jinting, who was supposed to return home on August 9, did not come back.
Although he has not returned home, he has returned with a letter.
Four words were written elegantly on the envelope, and my wife signed it with her own hands.
The letter was sent in by He Zheng from outside. When he put it in his hand, Gu Qingyuan was still in a daze, unable to recover.
They have never written letters, but this letter seems to be specially addressed to her.
The room seemed a little stuffy, and there was obviously still a lot of ice in the basin.
Gu Qingyuan opened all the windows, sat in front of the desk, and opened the letter.
She read it from beginning to end, was stunned for a while, and then looked at it twice before she came back to her senses.
He told her some things outside so that she didn't have to worry, and also asked her if she had slept well at night.
Could it be that without him, she would be sleepless?
Gu Qingyuan looked at the letter and could imagine his lazy attitude when he wrote it.
Finally, at the end of the letter, he said that she should take good care of her body and collect debts when she comes back.
Such a teasing tone.
Gu Qingyuan wished she could crumple the letter into a ball.
After a while, she couldn't help but turn her eyes towards the prefectures and counties on the outskirts of Beijing and took a distant look.
In the evening, I don't know if I was affected by Pei Jinting's letter.
Tossing and turning, Gu Qingyuan couldn't sleep. His playful peach blossom eyes, slender knuckles, and strong arms were always walking around in her mind.
When the horizon turned slightly white, she fell asleep in a daze, but fell into a strange dream again.
Under the endless rain, the ground was covered with white smoke, Qin took her out as a guest.
In a courtyard, while playing hide-and-seek with her friends, she saw a boy kneeling by the pool in the long corridor.
He lowered his head, and the fabric under his collar was stained with a trace of red, which was quickly washed away by the rain.
The boy heard the noise and turned his head to look at her.
There was a hint of anger in those dark peach blossom eyes.
Gu Qingyuan slowly walked over as if she was bewitched.
When she was about to get closer, the boy's voice was cold,
"If you take one more step forward, I will throw you into the pool."
Her voice was full of threats, as if she wanted to punish her for being disobedient, as if she would throw the person into the pool if she really stepped forward.
Gu Qingyuan has been doted on by the Qin family since she was a child, and she is the eldest daughter in the mansion. How can anyone in the Duke's mansion say such serious words to her?
Tears fell like pearls, and my words were unclear as I was missing my front teeth.
"If you dare to throw me into the pool, my parents will also throw you into the pool."
As she spoke, she raised her white and tender hands to wipe her tears carelessly.
Looks pitiful.
Walking to the boy's side, the rain splashed on her exquisite embroidered shoes, and a handkerchief was placed on his hand.
"Quickly wipe the blood and cover it. This is how my mother helped me after I fell."
The soft veil, like a warm heart, was placed on the boy's palm.
Everyone said that he was the most favored child in the family, but no one knew what he had gone through.
He enjoys everyone's love and affection on his reputation, but he has never felt what it feels like to be warmed by others.
The little girl in exquisite clothes, who looked like her beloved son, pouted her lips and helped him blow on the wound he didn't know where.
The anger in the boy's peach blossom eyes dissipated, and he stretched out his cold fingers, trying to push her away, but he held her by mistake.
"May I have your name?"
Gu Qingyuan tilted her head slightly, her lips and teeth were missing, and her speech was not clear enough.
"My mother calls me Yuanyuan... My mother said I can't tell others my maiden name..."
She puffed out her small breasts and looked at the boy arrogantly.
"Yuanyuan..."
The boy held the handkerchief tightly and murmured two words softly.
"Yes. Yuanyuan is me."
"My name is……"
There was a roar of thunder, swallowing up the boy's voice.
The maid who was looking for her everywhere came and took her away.
Gu Qingyuan suddenly opened her eyes, and her hazy vision gradually became clearer. It was not inside the rain and fog, nor outside the corridor, but in the backyard of Pei's house where she usually rested.
She rubbed her forehead.
After all, what else has she forgotten?
Gu Qingyuan's mind was a little confused at the moment.
She licked her dry lips and stood up to pick up the tea cup on the stand. Before she could touch it, someone held her hand and placed the tea cup against her lips.
A familiar cool breath came over me.
The next second, the tea cup was taken away, and a passionate kiss fell, with a somewhat uncontrollable intensity.
In the dim light, Gu Qingyuan met the man's dim eyes that reflected the light.
Like a bottomless cold pool, people are drawn into it.
