After the words were spoken, Gu Qingyuan's expression became a little stiff. She knew that the words were too hurtful.
Pei Jinting put his hands on the bed rail and his narrow eyes fell on her.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to."
Gu Qingyuan's face was red and her ears were hot, and she shrank back, trying to escape from the range of his gaze.
Pei Jinting raised the corners of his lips and said happily,
"It doesn't matter, I believe you didn't mean to be careless with your words."
His phoenix eyes tightly grasped Gu Qingyuan, and his hands held her shoulders at a slow and suffocating speed.
Then he roughly pushed her down on the couch.
He leaned forward, and Gu Qingyuan reached out to push him away. Pei Jinting held her hands and held them above her head.
There was a hint of coldness in the eyes looking down at her,
"This is what a flower-picking thief would do if he was in an uninhabited land."
After saying that, he leaned forward boldly, put his lips against her ear, and nibbled it gently.
Gu Qingyuan had goosebumps all over her body, as if she was being burned by a raging fire. She struggled, but couldn't break free.
Just when Pei Jinting kissed Gu Qingyuan's cheek, he tasted bitter tears.
The man in his arms was trembling and his face was full of tears.
Pei Jinting was in a daze for a moment, roughly pushed the trembling person away, and then got up from the bed.
He said coldly behind his back,
"The flower-picking thief can do more than just that. You brought the frost branches with you last year, and nothing will happen to you."
"Also, you'd better remember to apply the sprain medicine frequently. I don't want to take a lame woman home."
Gu Qingyuan looked at his indifferent back and felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water from head to toe. Her face was pale and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Pei Jinting walked to the door, opened it, and said the last word,
"I've taken away the person who just broke in. I'll interrogate him and have someone send you a letter then."
After that, he opened the door and went out.
Gu Qingyuan staggered up from the bed, her voice became more choked up, "Leave her alone. I want to handle it myself."
Ever since she was a child, she has known that it depends on everyone to run.
Lu Wenze, the only person whom he trusted once, had already betrayed him.
"It's up to you." Pei Jinting glanced at her with phoenix eyes, and then walked out. But just as he was out of the door, there was a "bang", like a jade mountain falling.
Gu Qingyuan bit her lip tightly.
The next morning, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and it was good weather again.
Today is the day when the Lu family sends a matchmaker to deliver makeup gifts, and Lu Wenze is also here.
Lu Wenze stared at Gu Qingyuan with gentle eyes, as if he was very dedicated.
"A-Yuan, is your foot injury better? If you don't have enough medicine for the injury, feel free to send someone to find me."
Gu Qingyuan wanted to expose Lu Wenze's true face on the spot.
But everyone is looking at her.
Especially her uncle Gu Zhiyuan reminded her with a threatening look in his eyes,
"Ayuan, Mr. Hou's attitude is already very good. No matter how squeamish my daughter's temper is, she should curb it."
"I'm getting married in a few days, so I can't be so willful then."
Gu Qingyuan felt like a joke.
If Gu Yunniang was like this, would Gu Zhiyuan say the same thing?
Mrs. Ruan smiled apologetically beside her,
"Ayuan, she is the one we have seen since childhood. She is not that arrogant little girl. She is most well-behaved and sensible, which is heartbreaking. If she is not really annoyed, she will not lose her temper easily."
These words sounded very comfortable, as if she understood Gu Qingyuan very well.
But in fact, it pushed Gu Qingyuan into an embarrassing situation.
If the situation continues to be so dull, it will only make those present feel that she is ignorant even more.
Gu Qingyuan shook her head "shyly",
"What my uncle and aunt said is that I already know the Marquis's wishes. The wedding is coming soon, so I... will go back to my room first."
She looked at Gu Zhiyuan hesitantly, twisting the handkerchief, whether to say it or not.
"Uncle...when my father went to the border, he left me a team of guards. I wonder if you can send two people to my courtyard gate?"
Gu Zhiyuan said with a straight face,
"What do you want the guards to do? They are all soldiers. How can there be men in front of the girl's house? Besides..."
When Ruan heard Gu Qingyuan say that she wanted a bodyguard, she shook her body, forced out a smile, and said,
"Ayuan, you are going out soon. With the Marquis protecting you, isn't it better than others?"
She looked at Lu Wenze with a very ambiguous expression.
Gu Qingyuan felt uncomfortable all over when she saw her. She pinched the handkerchief and whispered,
"There have been strange movements in the yard these past few days. Last night, there was a dark shadow flashing across. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive the day when I could go out."
Ruan on the side was almost dumbfounded.
She never expected that Gu Qingyuan would say everything in front of the matchmaker.
I waited all night yesterday and didn't hear any movement.
She thought the people she sent had succeeded.
But Gu Qingyuan arrived at the front hall just now, and there was nothing strange about her.
Gu Qingyuan said it was a dark shadow. Could it be possible that nothing happened?
But the people who were sent didn't come back.
Lu Wenze frowned. He knew that Gu Qingyuan was very delicate. It was windy and rainy yesterday, so it must have been the swaying shadows of the trees that scared her.
Regarding the matter at Huangzhuang, he knew that he had done something wrong, so he said,
"There is no need for my father-in-law's bodyguards. You are not familiar with those people. I will allocate two people from the bodyguards to you."
Gu Qingyuan showed a dignified smile as usual and thanked Lu Wenze.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. It happens that there has been some moving and lifting in the yard these days. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else."
If you move it, it's a dowry.
After entering the Gu family, she became a member of the Lu family, and the dowry was also spent on the Lu family.
The Lu family's belongings can be carried by the Lu family's attendants, and they can't be more at ease.
Lu Wenze looked at Gu Qingyuan and felt more and more satisfied. Sure enough, as long as he treated her better, he could win back her heart, regardless of what happened in the palace.
When Ruan wanted to stop her, the dust had already fallen to the ground. She watched with horror as Gu Qingyuan led Lu Wenze's attendants back to the backyard.
After a long while, I hurried to the backyard.
She desperately wanted to know what happened last night and why Gu Qingyuan was still fine.
