Lu Wenze did not expect that Gu Qingyuan could see the problem at a glance. The palace official sent to invite Pei Jinting was from His Majesty's palace.
Even Pei Jinting couldn't see the flaw and deceived him.
How did Gu Qingyuan find out?
Thinking like this, Lu Wenze asked, "How did you tell?"
Gu Qingyuan snorted lightly and didn't want to answer.
Although Pei Jinting is a bad person and has many bad habits, there is only one thing he must do: he must keep his promise.
This was also the reason why she came to him in the first place.
In the carriage, he clearly promised to accompany him to the Fengyi Palace where he met the queen.
It wasn't his style to abandon her halfway.
That must mean that he also saw the problem and still cooperated. He must have other plans.
Gu Qingyuan refused to say anything, and Lu Wenze didn't force her.
He took a step forward, Gu Qingyuan immediately took a step back, and a well-dressed attendant beside her immediately stepped forward, staring at him eagerly.
"Let me say a few words to him." Gu Qingyuan said to He Zheng in a warm voice.
He Zheng glanced at Lu Wenze, then stepped aside and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan's avoidance, she stared at him warily, as if he was a villain who wanted to do evil.
Such a look stung Lu Wenze severely.
"Ayuan. Pei San has no good intentions at all. If he abides by the rules, he should come and compete with me openly to win you."
"Instead of playing tricks behind your back, stealing your bride, and ruining your innocent reputation."
His face was livid, and his eyes were so cold that they could freeze, "Haven't you noticed yet? That bitch is just taking advantage of you."
Gu Qingyuan frowned, thinking that she was in front of the palace gate, so she tried to stay rational and said to Lu Wenze,
"Master Lu, I think I made it clear that night. Please don't pester me anymore."
"As for whether to use it or not, can Mr. Hou say that the purpose of coming to propose marriage in the first place was simple?"
Every word she said was like stabbing Lu Wenze in the heart with a blunt knife. The knife was fatal, the flesh and blood were all mixed, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
Lu Wenze couldn't bear it anymore, and with a cold face, he stepped forward to take Gu Qingyuan's hand, but she dodged him.
He came closer, stared hard into her eyes, and said word by word,
"He is a shameless villain. Before he robbed you, he spent three thousand taels on an oiran's first night."
"He also planned to transfer me away, snatch you away, and tried to use you to control your father and control me."
"Ayuan, why don't you think about it? Even if I came to propose marriage for a purpose, our interests are closely related."
"He's not. Are you going to put your father in a dilemma?"
Lu Wenze didn't understand why Gu Qingyuan would rather stay with that libertine Pei Jinting than go home with him.
However, after His Majesty's final decision, he could not forcefully take her away.
We can only persuade her to turn back voluntarily. In that case, even Your Majesty will have nothing to say.
Gu Qingyuan took a step back, gritted her teeth and said angrily,
"He is a shameless villain, what about you? Who are you? You are even more disgusting than a shameless villain."
She glared at Lu Wenze hard, her eyes bright with anger.
"You were getting engaged to me while you were hanging out with Gu Yunniang. My father fought bloody battles on the frontier and suffered many life and death situations, but you set up a trap behind the scenes to lure my uncle into a trap and force him to agree to the Lu family's proposal of marriage."
"Are you behaving like a gentleman?"
"As for my father, he is loyal to your majesty and protects the people of Zhou Dynasty. He does not need to fight with you."
Lu Wenze met her gaze and felt a heavy pain in his heart.
Why does Gu Qingyuan know this? Pei Jinting. It must be that bitch who is slandering him.
Lu Wenze’s voice was hoarse,
"Ayuan, I don't know what went wrong. I know that you have been deceived by Pei Jinting's sweet words. Now you don't believe anything I say. But you are my wife who I married with three matchmakers and six betrothals."
Seeing his expression, Gu Qingyuan shook her head and sneered,
"Master Lu, your three matchmakers and six appointments were all given to Gu Yunniang. Have you forgotten what His Majesty said?"
"It's not that I didn't give you a chance, but you have used up your chances a long time ago. Ever since you were hanging out with Gu Yunniang, leaving me behind at the Imperial Mansion, and leaving on the eve of your wedding."
"Even if I go to a nunnery to be a sister-in-law for the rest of my life, I won't be able to enter the Lu family again."
"Lu Wenze, put away your so-called persistence, I don't need it and I don't want to see it."
This was the most cruel thing Gu Qingyuan had ever said in her life, and it took all her life's courage.
In fact, she should have understood that being cowardly will not make others be kind to her. Instead, it will make those people push forward and bully her even more.
Lu Wenze's eyes were scarlet and he clenched his teeth, trying to find any trace of emotion on her face, but in vain.
The sharp fist struck, and before he could react, Lu Wenze staggered and was knocked to the ground, with blood oozing from the corners of his thin mouth.
Pei Jinting adjusted his sleeves slowly and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Qingyuan, his expression was icy and cold.
He looked down at the man who was half lying on the ground, and said with ridicule,
"Master Lu, I have told you a long time ago that if you really want to serve my wife, just sell yourself to Pei's house and pour incense for three years."
"You are so sneaky that you managed to trick your majesty in front of you. You are so brave."
Lu Wenze stood up slowly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked back with a frown,
"Pei San, don't be complacent."
Gu Qingyuan curled her fingertips slightly, and she was actually relieved when she saw Pei Jinting appear.
After all, it was in front of the palace gate, and it was time for them to go to Fengyi Palace to meet the queen.
She quickly grabbed the man's arm and whispered,
"It's time to see the queen. Let's go and ignore him."
Once the incident in front of the palace becomes a big deal and the news reaches the Queen's ears, we don't know what will happen.
After she finished speaking, she saw that the man just looked at her lightly and didn't move at all.
Gu Qingyuan sighed and said again,
"Husband, your boxing posture must be very beautiful, but your injury is not healed yet, and it will be bad if it is torn."
Pei Jinting's emotions seemed to be affected by her words. He raised his eyebrows and looked with deep pool-like eyes, finally willing to move.
He put his arms around her, and the collar around her neck opened slightly with his movements, revealing a few red plums on her neck.
A slight wind blew and hit people's faces. Lu Wenze stiffened and stared at Pei Jinting's neck.
Something that Lu Wenze had been avoiding thinking about could no longer be avoided.
Pei Jinting robbed Gu Qingyuan.
Even though he received the cane yesterday, Pei Jinting still became a groom last night.
They really became a couple.
Even if Pei Jinting is injured, there are many ways to deal with men and women.
There's not just one way.
Lu Wenze thought of Gu Qingyuan's distant attitude, and as the world was filled with chills, he seemed to understand why Gu Qingyuan didn't go back with him.
He felt the sourness spreading deep inside his body to his fingertips.
He thought more and more about taking Gu Qingyuan back.
It wasn't just Lu Wenze who saw the red spots on Pei Jinting's neck.
The queen in Fengyi Palace also saw it.
She raised her chin arrogantly and asked Gu Qingyuan with a stern face.
"Tell me. What happened? When did you get together? And why was he poisoned as soon as you entered the house."
