Things go round and round in unsatisfactory directions, forcing people to give in.
Gu Qingyuan would not watch Pei Jinting and the Gu family fall into being criticized.
When she was a child, she was extremely dependent on Qin and admired Gu Shao. But with Qin's death, Ruan and Princess Rongchang came between their father and daughter, and there were many barriers between them.
For example, before she made a covenant with Pei Jinting to steal her bride, she never thought of telling Gu Shao about her many grievances.
Sometimes Gu Qingyuan would think that if Mrs. Qin could grow up with her, maybe her character and relationship with Gu Shao might not be what they are now.
Without a father, she was just an orphan who depended on others. She had to learn to be sensible and considerate, and try not to cause trouble to Gu Shao with her own affairs.
Over time, it becomes a habit.
In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Qingyuan comes from a high family and is surrounded by flowers and scenery. But only she knows that she is extremely lonely. She has built a small world for herself and hides many thoughts that she does not tell others.
After Gu Shao's disappearance, she finally understood the burden on Gu Shao.
He is also very tired.
As for Pei Jinting, in her lonely life, there was such a person who loved and protected her, and no matter how vicissitudes of time distorted her beyond recognition, she still shined brightly.
How could she not be sentimental?
It was because she was too attached to him that she wanted to protect him more and more.
It is said that the inner house and the harem are places where people can be eaten without spitting out the bones. When women fight, they kill without blood.
But what Gu Qingyuan saw from King Qin was that compared to the struggles of men, the methods used by women in the back house were nothing.
They fought in a bloody and bloody fight, leaving many bones.
How many wealthy families collapsed overnight.
The rise of a noble family and its powerful ministers bears the blood of more than a few families beneath their feet.
She doesn't want Gu Shao and Pei Jinting to become stepping stones for others.
Gu Qingyuan clenched her hands tightly into fists, and her arms were trembling.
"Pei Jingheng... Over there in Shandong, my grandmother is in trouble. I want to take a look at her on my mother's behalf."
"I haven't seen my grandmother since my mother passed away..."
She looked at Pei Jinting's face and said,
"Thanks to my mother, I lived a comfortable life back then. I don't know how my grandmother is doing after all these years. I want to go and see her on my mother's behalf."
After hearing Gu Qingyuan's words, Pei Jinting's first reaction was to stare at her, with complex emotions hidden in his eyes, and subconsciously held her wrist.
The truth behind the assassination has not yet been found out. If Gu Qingyuan travels far away at this time, she will definitely be a target for others.
What's more, he knew that the relationship between Gu Qingyuan and the Qin family was not very good, so why did he suddenly say that he would go back to her natal family to take the place of the deceased Qin family?
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan's face with deep eyes. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she asked quietly,
"Does my father-in-law know? What did he say?"
Of course, Gu Qingyuan had thought of this excuse a long time ago, and she had mentioned it to Gu Shao last time when she went to the Zhen Guogong Mansion.
She also said that after going to Shandong to visit the Qin family's grandmother, she wanted to live in the border area for some time.
She used to believe in fate very much. After being adopted and her adoptive mother passed away, she just thought it was her own bad luck.
When she met Lu Wenze, she thought she was lucky and would live the life she wanted. Later, when Lu Wenze's incident happened, she also thought it was fate.
If your fate is not good, everything is destined by God.
She wanted to change her life, she set up a marriage abduction, but now, someone told her that the soulmate she wanted to love for the rest of her life was her brother.
She didn't believe that this was her fate. She didn't want to accept it in such a confused way.
Gu Qingyuan thought calmly, King Qin was pressing forward step by step, and if he didn't show off at all, it would definitely not work.
However, the sea of people is huge, and many years have passed, and things have changed. It is not so easy to verify the truth.
Then she should get out of this prison first, fade out of King Qin's sight, and separate from Pei Jinting.
It just so happened that she could also use herself as bait. If the person behind that assassination was targeting her, she would not miss such a good opportunity.
However, she had a hard time talking about Pei Jinting.
Pei Jinting naturally disagreed, but he couldn't talk about the assassin, so he could only hold her hand and said,
"If you really want to go, how about you wait until I recover and go with you?"
Of course it was impossible for Gu Qingyuan to go with him. How could he lead out the people behind the scenes, and how could he fool the King of Qin?
She pulled out her hand with force and said with a cold face,
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't risk your body."
Pei Jinting thought that Gu Yuanyuan was too naive. If she insisted on traveling, she would be risking her safety.
He suppressed his smile, his eyes were bottomless,
"If I can't go, then you don't go either. Even if my father-in-law agrees, I will ask him to take back his life. Even if I am forced to agree to let you go today, I will still keep an eye on you secretly."
Of course Gu Qingyuan knew that Pei Jinting could do it. She was extremely angry and anxious, but she really couldn't do anything to the man in front of her.
She gently raised her eyes and looked at the man on the couch with what she thought was the most beautiful smile.
When the breath fell, the words in his mouth also came out.
"Jingheng. I want to go. If you insist on stopping me, then we'll see."
Her voice was neither fast nor slow, with a peaceful smile on her face, just like the day she made the covenant with Pei Jinting.
However, what was different from that day was that she gently hugged his waist, placed her head on his chest, and then took the initiative to kiss his tight jaw and said softly,
"Jingheng. I'm just going away for a while. You can recover well at home. When you come back, we'll go to father's place together."
She raised her face and looked at Pei Jinting with great nostalgia, "You said you wanted to be your son-in-law, and you also said you wanted to go guard the border with your father."
Pei Jinting was held by Gu Qingyuan from the beginning to the end, her deep brows and eyes were as solid as a rock, and there was never any strange change.
Finally, she silently put her finger to her mouth and bit it.
Later, her clothes were all messed up.
Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath, fearing what he would do, and grabbed his hand.
"Speak nicely and stop touching me."
There was a hint of vitriol in the tone of voice.
Pei Jinting's eyes flashed with secret fire. Gu Qingyuan's attitude would only make him want to provoke and destroy her even more.
He hooked Gu Qingyuan's belt without mercy, pulled her over, and said confidently,
"Since you are leaving, you must fill up your husband..."
Gu Qingyuan blushed and froze.
Pei Jinting took Gu Qingyuan into his arms, stroked her hair carefully, and said seductively,
"Only a fool would go out without his husband, warm the bed, serve tea and water, beat his shoulders and legs, and most importantly, what if you miss your husband on the way?"
Pei Jinting, who was so messy and arrogant, seemed to be trying to poison her, shaking Gu Qingyuan's heart.
While she was sinking, Gu Qingyuan heard the voice outside the door, "Sir, Aunt Luo has brought you."
