Gu Qingyuan really couldn't figure out why he was angry. She raised her face and looked at him, her voice showing some confusion.
"Isn't this the treaty we made at the beginning?"
The fair face was full of confusion, and the clear eyes were moist.
Pei Jinting pressed the corners of his lips and didn't want to speak anymore.
It's just that he doesn't speak, and Gu Qingyuan can't speak either.
The two were silent for a few moments. Pei Jinting finally couldn't help but speak out.
"Today is the day for you to come back. Your things are ready. Let's go."
The man's calm voice narrated.
Gu Qingyuan looked sideways at him and was keenly aware that Pei Jinting's attitude today was a bit strange.
Their marriage is a bit ridiculous to say the least.
It's different from others.
When the bride enters the house, she must bow to her parents and elders the next morning and offer them tea.
But due to their special situation and the fact that they had to enter the palace, this rule was directly broken.
When a bride gets married, she has to wait three days before she can return home.
Originally, she thought this rule was about to be broken.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinting was willing to give her face, so she would not refuse.
She didn't want them to meet someone she didn't want to see in front of the Zhenguo Palace.
She had just grabbed Pei Jinting's wrist and stood firm when she saw Lu Wenze standing in front of the mansion.
Gu Qingyuan frowned slightly and turned to look at Pei Jinting.
Lu Wenze clasped his hands behind his back. When he saw Gu Qingyuan's movements, he looked at her with a tense expression and his voice was hoarse.
"Ayuan. Now that things have happened, I know it is irreversible. I know that you must go back home today and bring back the dowry that someone gave you."
Gu Qingyuan didn't want to see his austere and affectionate appearance, so she just smiled slightly and said distantly,
"Excuse me, Lord Marquis."
Lu Wenze wanted to say something else, but when he raised his eyes, his vision gradually cooled down and became as cold as ice.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qingyuan was hugged from behind.
"Hey, thank you so much Lord Lu."
After saying that, he took Gu Qingyuan's hand and said,
"Since Mr. Lu has so kindly sent it to our door, it would be rude of us not to express our gratitude."
He turned around and told He Zheng,
"Give Lord Lu a purse and treat it as a reward for his hard work."
It was an unceremonious gesture.
No one rewards the noble prince in this way.
But Pei Jinting did it.
Lu Wenze stared closely at the hands held by the two of them. His eyes dimmed and he clenched his fists, trying to calm down.
He understood that Pei Jinting was trying to make fun of him, but he still wanted to maintain the dignity of the Marquis.
"Young Master Pei is serious." Lu Wenze suppressed his emotions and chuckled, "It's just a little effort. The large items in Ayuan's dowry are made according to the measurements of the house in the Hou Mansion."
"What a pity."
I mentioned this out of nowhere. It was just to remind Pei Jinting that he and Gu Qingyuan were the matchmakers and they were discussing their marriage in an upright and upright manner.
And Pei Jinting is a thief and robber.
Gu Qingyuan was speechless when she heard Lu Wenze's words.
The Babu bed and the cabinets in the house are all made according to general standards, so they are not unusable.
She was about to say something to refute, but she remembered that she and Pei Jinting were now one.
Unexpectedly, the man next to him spoke first.
"Really?" Pei Jinting sighed slightly, then lowered his eyelids,
"In that case, A-Yuan, as a sister, why not give these large items to your sister."
"How about treating it as a wedding gift to our sister and brother-in-law from us?"
Pei Jinting suddenly gave a meaningful smile, his voice was low and melodious,
"Brother-in-law, you must like this gift very much, right?"
"After all, your identity is clearly known to His Majesty."
Brother-in-law...
Lu Wenze was immediately stunned, his eyes slightly frightened, staring at the two people in front of him.
When he saw Gu Qingyuan's approving eyes, his heart was stung, and the last trace of luck in his heart was gone.
Thinking of Pei Jinting's little tricks in front of the emperor, inducing Gu Zhiyuan to say those words and give Gu Yunniang to him.
There was no chance for him to breathe at all.
His throat was so tight that it took him a while to make any sound.
"Ayuan. Even if I had a purpose in proposing marriage at first, later on I sincerely wanted to marry you and live a happy life."
he
This stepped on a sore spot for Gu Qingyuan.
She pursed her lips,
"Why does Lord Lu need to bring those leftovers to the table again?"
"I can't see you clearly with your current appearance. What's the matter? Mr. Lu doesn't love the noble ladies of the palace, but prefers sneaky things?"
Every time she mentioned sneaking around, it was nothing more than a reminder of what he had done before.
Remind him that it was he who personally cut off all possibilities for the two of them.
"Master Hou, please don't do these affectionate things to whitewash peace in the future."
Even though Lu Wenze has been with her for most of these years, he is still speechless now.
These days, he has been criticized by her too many times.
He suppressed his emotions and did not have an attack. He handed the hand behind his back to her.
He weighed the box in his hand, as if asking for help and complaining.
"Ayuan, this jade pendant was a gift for our engagement that day. I accidentally broke it when I met Mr. Pei that day. I still want to keep it as a souvenir."
Inside the precious ebony box lay several incomplete pieces of jade.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips and smiled, but did not reach out to take the box under Lu Wenze's pleading eyes.
She raised her hand slightly, and the box lying in Lu Wenze's hand fell to the floor along with the fragments of words inside.
In Lu Wenze's surprised eyes, she lifted up her skirt slightly, kicked her foot up, and suggested to Lu Wenze dignifiedly and reservedly,
"Master Hou, since ancient times, broken jade has not been a good omen. If it breaks, it will break. Why bother to stick to that piece?"
"It's unlucky, just exchange it for a souvenir."
The jade pendant was originally Lu Wenze's excuse to get close to Gu Qingyuan.
Now, this excuse didn't work, and the large items in her dowry were stuffed back by Pei Jinting like they were in ruins.
What else can remain between him and her?
Lu Wenze's expression became a little empty.
Gu Qingyuan turned a blind eye and pulled Pei Jinting, who was standing leisurely aside,
"Husband, let's go into the house. I think my uncle and aunt can't wait any longer."
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan with a smile, nodded reservedly, and followed Gu Qingyuan into the house.
When passing by the fragments of the jade pendant, he kicked them again with disdain.
Originally, he was thinking about ridiculing Lu Wenze, but at this moment, he didn't need to do anything.
One of his hands was held by Gu Qingyuan, and the other was behind his back. His posture was leisurely and leisurely, making people look at him and relax.
Lu Wenze chased Gu Qingyuan's back, motionless and slightly stiff.
After staying in the Duke's Mansion for only half an hour, Gu Qingyuan felt that it was not interesting looking at Gu Zhiyuan and Ruan's restless expressions.
Fortunately, Pei Jinting quickly said unkindly,
"Master Gu, I was injured yesterday. I didn't take her back home to serve the bride tea. I was reminded several times by my family. Then we'll leave first."
Gu Zhiyuan was obedient and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
Gu Qingyuan lowered her eyes, her face calm.
When she wanted to meet her parents-in-law, she didn't feel any fear like a newlywed.
