Although Gu Qingyuan categorically said that she wanted to end the marriage, she also kept criticizing Pei Jinting. Inexplicably, she felt panicked in her heart.
She didn't know if it was the right thing to do.
No one can give her the answer.
However, the man sitting in front of her reached out to hold her face, and she dodged slightly but did not move away.
"Gu Qingyuan." The man called her by her first and last name.
His eyes remained motionless as he looked at Gu Qingyuan.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Pei Jinting's throat tightened slightly, and she leaned forward and hugged Gu Qingyuan tightly.
Gu Qingyuan was already worried, but when he hugged her, she couldn't stop crying.
"Remember, no matter what, you, Gu Qingyuan, are my wife, Pei Jingheng. I will handle other matters."
"I'll help you nurse your body back to health. Having no heirs is just what I want."
"If you think that the time we went to court and had dinner together didn't count, then I will marry you again with three matchmakers and six betrothals..."
"Yuanyuan, I was wrong..."
Pei Jinting quickly controlled his emotions and made up his mind.
What he did yesterday could not be washed away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
He was wrong and had nothing to say about it.
At this stage, what Gu Qingyuan needs most is definitely to be respected.
Obviously, he did the same thing a few days ago, thinking that boiling a frog in warm water would always put her at ease.
Gu Qingyuan doesn't care what Pei Jinting says, or he coyly says I have you in my heart.
Whether his feelings have just sprouted or they have grown into a towering tree.
But Gu Qingyuan was like a snail carrying a shell. She had just put out her tentacles, felt the cold wind, and retracted into her shell.
When I was young, there were not so many interests to compromise when getting along with others.
Likes and dislikes are the most important things.
When people grow up, they will become cautious and worldly.
Like becomes the last factor to consider.
As if he could feel Gu Qingyuan's emotions, Pei Jinting tried to change the result.
"Yuanyuan..."
"It's absolutely impossible for me to let you go. There's nothing wrong with my father taking you to the border. The wind in Kyoto will definitely blow fiercely next."
"You can go to the border for a while."
This is Pei Jinting's concession.
He knew not to push too hard.
But Gu Qingyuan didn't listen at all,
"It's useless."
She shook her head, "Pei Jinting, give up."
Maybe she never changed from beginning to end.
He is the one who works hard to find a way out for himself.
"Father is at home. I want to go with him, and you can't stop me. There is no need for you to give in. You should know better than me."
"The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. You probably don't want to make it too ugly."
Pei Jinting stared at her for a long time, so long that Gu Qingyuan thought that his anger was rising and he was about to start a new round of torture.
She has already thought of how to deal with him.
But I never wanted to hear Pei Jinting say reluctantly.
"Okay. I promise you."
Although his voice was reluctant, his attitude was quite submissive.
"You know, we are considered to have been married by His Majesty. If we divorce rashly, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty if word spreads."
"Wait a moment, wait until I get His Majesty's place in order and find a suitable opportunity, then we can make peace, okay?"
Pei Jinting moved out of the emperor. Gu Qingyuan also knew that it was unrealistic for them to get rid of everything smoothly.
I can only agree,
"Okay. But I definitely have to leave. After that, it has nothing to do with you and me marrying men and women."
Pei Jinting had a completely different attitude from before. She leaned on the bed rail lazily with her upper body raised, and said slowly, "You have the final say."
After getting Pei Jinting's consent, Gu Qingyuan tightened her clothes and gave him a cold look.
"It's already dawn. How long do you plan to stay?"
Pei Jinting raised her eyebrows, her calm eyes had unclear meaning, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and her lazy voice drawled,
"Okay."
He stood up, grabbed his clothes, and went to the clean room without putting them on.
Gu Qingyuan hugged the quilt and saw from the corner of her eye that on his back, in addition to the scars that had not healed, there were more scratches.
She didn't dare to look.
Last night, he didn't make it easy for her, and she didn't let him go either.
There were two fresh teeth marks from her on his neck.
Those were obviously not good marks, but when Pei Jinting passed by the bronze mirror in the corner of the room, she raised her hand and caressed the two tooth marks.
His fingers were extremely long, moving down bit by bit from beginning to end.
Gu Qingyuan saw that the roots of her ears suddenly felt hot, and she quickly turned her back while hugging the quilt.
Pei Jinting looked regretful.
When he came back after washing and changing his clothes, he saw Gu Qingyuan, who had changed her clothes, combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan's pursed lips, Pei Jinting didn't know what else to say, and she pinched her eyebrows and felt a headache.
I mentally scolded myself countless times for being a fool.
The days are gradually getting cooler, and the wind of late summer and early autumn is blowing up the fallen leaves in the yard.
After Pei Jinting agreed to Gu Qingyuan, he was not idle, since he categorically said in front of the emperor that he was going to the border.
Then the business at hand cannot be neglected.
Because there was a riot in the capital last time when enemy invaders entered the city, which almost affected the people, soldiers from various government offices were everywhere on the streets.
For a time, the streets were noisy and there were police officers and soldiers everywhere.
The people stayed at home and did not dare to make any noise.
After Gu Qingyuan left Pei Jinting, she went to find Gu Shao, the Duke of Zhenguo. Unexpectedly, before she made her request, Gu Shao seemed to know.
"There are enemy spies in the capital. They can't leave the city these days. We'll leave when the investigation is over."
Gu Shao looked at the thin girl and meant something,
"Ayuan. If there is anything you can't handle, don't forget to tell me."
"You are my Gu Shao's daughter. In this world, no one can bully you as long as you don't want to."
These words were too sonorous and powerful. Gu Qingyuan blinked, lowered her eyes and said,
"Father, my daughter knows."
She still wanted to resolve the matter with Pei Jinting by herself.
It starts with her and ends with her.
The story of Pei Jinting being beaten with a cane in the palace has long been spread among the noble families.
Even if everyone knows the reason, they won't say it out loud.
I thought I would be decadent for a few days, or indulge in sensuality and be a dandy in name just like before.
Unexpectedly, everyone actually saw Pei Jinting running to Zhao Prison, interrogating prisoners, and leading soldiers on the streets for interrogation...
No matter day or night, I watched him soaking in the mansion of Wucheng Bingma Division.
It's really... a spectacle that makes people look at it with admiration.
This level of dedication has actually led many high-ranking families to pull the ear of their own dandy and ask him to learn from Pei Jinting.
Pei Jinting knew these tiny sounds, and he certainly knew that those people had misunderstood.
But with his current mood, let's just misunderstand him.
Pei Jinting sighed in his heart.
He obtained control of the city gate from the emperor,
"Your Majesty, such a commotion can happen under the emperor's feet. Why don't we close the door and beat the dog first?"
No matter how careful you are, no one, no matter Gu Qingyuan, wants to leave the city.
