When she returned to Gu's house, it was already afternoon. Gu Qingyuan got out of the carriage in a daze, glanced at Pei Jinting in the carriage with a complicated mood, nodded, and turned around to leave.
But after taking a few steps, his body suddenly stopped.
A familiar figure was standing not far from her at the moment.
Lu Wenze's usually gentle brows and eyes were filled with solemnity, and his clean and cool voice was colder than ever before.
"Ayuan, should you explain why you got off Third Young Master Pei's carriage?"
After just being stunned for a moment, Gu Qingyuan returned to normal.
She bowed slightly towards Lu Wenze,
"You just came out of the house? You must already know that Yun Niang invited me to accompany her on an outing today?"
Lu Wenze walked up to her and stood in front of her, looking down at her,
"Needless to say Yun Niang, I saw it with my own eyes just now. Just because he saved you once, have you forgotten that the Pei family is at odds with us?"
"Ayuan, do you know that there is no one around, and it is easy for people to misunderstand you if you are alone with Pei San?"
He approached step by step, pulled Gu Qingyuan's collar apart very quickly, glanced back sharply, and then let go.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyes and looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Lu Wenze's actions were clearly humiliating, but she strangely did not feel sad.
"What did you say? What do you want to hear?"
"I said that Mr. Pei and I just met by chance. Would you believe me?"
"Or do you want to hear me say that I have done everything I should and should not do to have an affair with Third Master Pei? Would you be happy about that?"
Gu Qingyuan stepped back and looked at Lu Wenze mockingly, seeing deep hatred in his eyes.
Lu Wenze frowned and his tone was deep,
"Ayuan. No matter what, you shouldn't be involved with people like Pei San. People like that are just like mud, and you won't be able to get rid of them when the time comes."
Gu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief,
"Mr. Pei and I are not what you think. We just met by chance today. As for the rest, you can ask the attendant who stayed with me."
"Now they are with Yun Niang."
When he saw Gu Qingyuan and Pei Jinting coming back together just now, Lu Wenze was filled with anger, and he subconsciously opened his collar.
Now I didn't see any suspicious marks on Gu Qingyuan, and I was surprised that the attendant he assigned to Gu Qingyuan went to Gu Yunniang instead.
Maybe there really is something hidden.
And because of the incident between Gu Yunniang and Huangzhuang, Lu Wenze was always short of breath.
Suddenly, he soothed his tone, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders,
"Ayuan, I'm sorry, I'm a villain. Please forgive me..."
When Gu Qingyuan heard him call her "Ms.", her stomach turned and she felt like vomiting. She reflexively wanted to push away his hand on her shoulder, but she was afraid of causing more trouble, so she moved her body tightly and said dryly.
said,
"If it weren't for Third Young Master Pei, there would be no chance for you to marry me on the sixth day of March."
"I'm tired today. When Yun Niang comes back, you can call the two attendants to ask questions."
When Lu Wenze heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry. He was good-tempered and honest.
"Okay, today a lot of women from the Gu family came to put on makeup. I'll send you back to rest, so that they don't keep asking you questions."
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips. Such hypocritical words made her feel uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to refuse, but she really didn't want to entertain the women, so she walked forward silently and let Lu Wenze follow.
"Master Lu, Miss Gu, please wait a moment." When they were about to enter the mansion, they were stopped by someone.
Hearing the voice, Gu Qingyuan was shocked.
When she turned around, she found that the carriage she had just rented was parked outside the door, and Pei Jinting was getting out of the carriage.
His gaze was like a pen, tracing her face, which made Gu Qingyuan feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
I saw him slowly walking up to the two of them and passing something to Gu Qingyuan.
"I just found it in the carriage. Return it to its original owner."
Spread out in his hand was a pure white handkerchief with Lingxiao flowers embroidered on it.
Gu Qingyuan immediately recognized it as her own and looked at Pei Jinting blankly.
The Lingxiao flower handkerchief was lost at a flower party and was never used again.
It's impossible to appear on that carriage just now.
"This is not my thing. Young Master admitted it wrong." Gu Qingyuan didn't know why her lost handkerchief was picked up by Pei Jinting.
Do you still know that this is her veil?
Pei Jinting looked at her deeply with his deep eyes. He didn't understand why she didn't want to admit it.
Lu Wenze frowned, "Let me see, Ayuan, what kind of veil did you use before?"
Pei Jinting suddenly withdrew his hand and did not ask Lu Wenze to touch the handkerchief. He did not look at it too clearly and put it into his wide sleeves.
He said with unclear meaning, "That is because I have admitted my mistake. In this case, this veil will belong to me from now on."
Gu Qingyuan looked at Pei Jinting in disbelief. What was the use of keeping the girl's handkerchief?
What's the purpose of his coming here?
After Pei Jinting put away the handkerchief, he straightened his sleeves and did not leave. Instead, he walked towards the door of Gu's house.
Lu Wenze sighed in his heart. Seeing this, he stretched out his hand to block Pei Jinting.
"Mr. Pei, the Gu family has a happy event today. Isn't it a bit bad for you to rush in?"
Pei Jinting held his hands behind his back calmly, smiled evilly, and there was evil in his eyes.
"Please call me, Commander-in-Chief Pei. This Commander-in-Chief is here to handle the case. Hey, even a trivial matter should be reported to the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief's Office."
"Miss Gu, someone from the Gu family is accusing you of trying to steal the dowries of other girls in the house..."
