"If someone hurts you, make them hurt a hundred times more than you do." Pei Jinting sat on the edge of the couch and lowered his voice.
He leaned closer to her ear, losing his laziness and frivolity, with a hint of deep elusiveness,
"When you asked me for help, wasn't it just to get back at them?"
Gu Qingyuan was speechless for a moment.
"I just...just..."
Before she could say anything else, Pei Jinting interrupted her,
"But you obviously have more ways to retaliate against them, so why do you take the huge risk and change the groom at the wedding?"
The man's face as he approached was tainted with a hint of hidden meaning and he was handsome and handsome.
In this boundless night, the noble master just lost his disguise without any warning and turned into an evil ghost who has no regard for the worldly world.
"Ruan, and your sister who seduced Lu Wenze, I can help you get rid of her..."
His voice became that slutty again, but the meaning behind his words was really creepy.
As if he was afraid that he didn't make it clear, he added, "No one will find any clues."
After a while, Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly,
"Young master is so generous, I am flattered."
Her tone was soft and casual,
"Thank you, I don't need it. I am me, I am not the Ruan family, nor am I Gu Yunniang."
She has indeed not been so happy in these years.
But she is not a glutinous persimmon, otherwise, her good reputation as gentle, respectful, virtuous and virtuous would not be spread.
After all, there are too many ways to manipulate a person's reputation.
But Ruan always only dared to tamper with small things.
It's not that she doesn't want to take revenge, but if she and the Ruan family are allowed to fall into the same trap, then how is she different from the Ruan family?
She wants to use her own methods to make it difficult for them.
She took a deep breath and said to the silent man in front of her,
"It's late at night. Master, you'd better go back and rest early."
It was as quiet as death, and the people around him remained motionless.
Gu Qingyuan moved to the inside of the bed and pressed herself against the cold wall through the quilt.
The next day, Gu Qingyuan thought that Gu Yunniang would invite Lu Wenze to attack her early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenze arrived late in the afternoon.
As soon as he saw Gu Qingyuan, he immediately said,
"Ayuan, I'm late. You weren't frightened, were you? Are you still okay? That thief..."
Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for caring about me. Thanks to the two guards you sent over, I'm fine."
Gu Yunniang, who was following Lu Wenze, was filled with sorrow and had nowhere to vent. Thinking of the imprisoned Ruan family, she glared at Gu Qingyuan angrily.
"Sister, since you have nothing to do, why do you want my mother to be locked up?"
Her voice was hoarse, and she was clearly losing her mind due to anger.
Lu Wenze coughed lightly, his tone was harsh,
"Yun Niang, what are you talking about? Your mother was imprisoned by Uncle Gu. What does it have to do with A Yuan?"
Lu Wenze arrived late because he listened to the guard's report and knew that the thief who broke into Gu Qingyuan's yard was Ruan's nephew.
He vaguely understood why Ruan did what he did. He could ignore Ruan, but he couldn't ignore Gu Yunniang.
However, in order to make Gu Qingyuan look good, she delayed her visit to the Gu family until noon.
"Brother Wenze, do you understand? She only has herself in her eyes, and the lives of others are as light as grass to her. How can such a selfish and domineering woman be a good match for the Lu family?"
Her words were jaw-dropping.
Gu Qingyuan looked at Lu Wenze calmly,
"Master Hou, did you hear that? My sister wants you to break off our engagement with me."
Lu Wenze originally came to the Gu family for Gu Yunniang, and after seeing Gu Qingyuan, he went to Mr. Gu and asked him to release the Ruan family.
Duke Zhen Guo was far away in the border area and could not come back to attend the wedding, and his wife was also absent from the house all year round. She was only a stepmother, and she was not kind to Gu Qingyuan.
Mrs. Ruan is A Yuan’s biological mother no matter what. Being present at the wedding can always make up for some shortcomings.
At the moment, Gu Yunniang’s stupid words made Lu Wenze shocked and angry.
"Yun Niang, shut up. She is your sister, the wife of the clan whom the Lu family has been seeking for a long time."
Turning his head, he comforted Gu Qingyuan gently,
"Mother Yun only talks nonsense when she is angry. Ayuan, please be more patient. Don't take her words to heart."
"But if Aunt Gu is released, it will always be good for you, right?"
Gu Qingyuan smiled,
"Master Hou, when Yun Niang is angry, others will take more care of her. Then who will take the responsibility for the fright I suffered last night?"
"Why is Aunt Gu imprisoned? Doesn't the Marquis know? Who is the thief? Doesn't the Marquis know?"
"Only those who have been thieves for thousands of years, but not those who have been guarding against thieves for thousands of years. If Aunt Gu is released, and another thief comes into the hospital, or does something else, then who should I find to take care of her? Do I still have the life to find someone to take care of her?"
Gu Yunniang gritted her teeth. She felt that Gu Qingyuan was clearly trying to make excuses.
Gu Qingyuan's tone became cold,
"I would like to ask the second sister, do you think of me as your enemy because you blame me for causing my aunt to be imprisoned, or do you blame me for being able to marry Mr. Lu as your main wife?"
"If I gave up my position as the bride to you, would you still scold me like this?"
Gu Yunniang seemed to be stunned by the question. Gradually, her face showed a little joy.
The words were about to burst out of his mouth, but were interrupted by Lu Wenze's angry voice,
"A-Yuan, I can't say this anymore. What is the position of the bride? Can it be changed at will? Do you think anyone can be the wife of the Lu family?"
These words were like thunder on the ground. Gu Yunniang's cheek, which had been slapped by Gu Qingyuan last night, began to hurt again, and her body began to tremble slightly.
