Hua Qianli raised his hand and pointed at her angrily, his fingers trembling with anger.
"Jingyan, don't say that to Qian Ling, she has already..."
"Who are you? Is this lady familiar with you?"
Liu Shuqin was shouted back before she could finish her words, her face suddenly turned red, and her palms in her sleeves were clenched tightly unconsciously.
"Watch your mouth, otherwise you won't have the chance to take off the veil on your face next time."
Gu Jingyan glanced at Hua Qianli, who had only one pair of eyes left, and after finishing her harsh words, she took Yu Shuyue's wrist and left.
"ah!"
Hua Qianlian watched them leave, stamped her feet reluctantly, and let out a low growl as if to vent her anger.
Apart from that, there was nothing she could do.
After her father found out about the last incident in the paddock, he put her in solitary confinement for a month and was beaten and scolded.
Gu Jingyan is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, and she is more favored by the emperor than her father, a prince of the opposite sex, in terms of real power and favor.
In the past, she would only protect the prince like this when others insulted the prince, but she didn't expect that she would actually protect Yu Shuyue now.
Not only was Hua Qianli unable to figure it out, but Liu Shuqin beside him could hardly hide his jealousy.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jingyan held her wrist and walked to another relatively quiet place. Although people would look over from time to time, most of them were more focused on the plum blossoms in full bloom in front of them.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Jingyan put down her wrist and stood up to look at her.
She was one year older than Yu Shuyue and slightly taller than her. She was looking down at her slightly.
"It's okay, I just feel that Ah Yue was a little surprised by Jing's words just now."
Women outside the Great Wall were more direct. Yu Shuyue had seen General Li's wife chasing her husband with a spear, and she had also seen gentle women from Jiangnan who would hide their faces and smile even when they smiled.
Gu Jingyan's voice was so gentle that one second she was already falling for a woman, and the next second she had a sullen face and was sarcastic, with sarcastic expressions appearing on her face from time to time.
She was the only person she had ever met who had such a huge contrast.
"Hmm, Ah Yue, don't you like me like this?"
As Gu Jingyan spoke, she moved closer to her, her face so close that her breath sprayed on Yu Shuyue's face when she spoke.
"without me……"
Yu Shuyue's eyes were bright and she raised her lips and was about to answer when she heard Qi Xiuyao's deep voice shouting from behind.
"Jingyan."
When Gu Jingyan heard this, she raised her head and glanced at her cousin. After seeing the expression on his face, she not only did not give in, she also raised her hand and tapped the red plum on Yu Shuyue's forehead, "Ah Yue is so cute.
"
Then she straightened up and looked at Qi Xiuyao with a smile, "Where did you all go just now? I didn't expect to meet Hua Qianli here, which is a bit disappointing."
"Meet that woman again? Ah Yue, are you not hurt?"
When Yu Hengyue heard that it was that person again, he quickly stepped in front of his sister and asked with concern.
It didn't take long for her arm to heal. If Hua Qianlian dared again, he wouldn't be as simple as last time.
"Little General Yu, don't you believe that I can protect Ah Yue?" Gu Jingyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm not a dumpling. I can be bullied by others. Besides, I still have Jingyan with me."
Yu Heng looked more at the girl next to him. Although she was a little taller than his sister, she only just reached his shoulders. She was petite and slender, and she always had a gentle smile on her face. Now he was worried about her.
Have you been bullied?
After all, although his sister is not good at martial arts, he is willing to be inferior to her in terms of lightness skills, so even if she loses to others, she can still retreat intact.
However, Miss Gu, who looks so fragile at this glance, is too worrying.
If Yu Shuyue knew her brother's inner monologue at this time, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.
"Miss Gu, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just a little nervous."
"Okay, I know."
Gu Jingyan stopped teasing him. Why did this man have such a simple and honest temperament that the bad element in her couldn't help but start to cause trouble.
The four of them did not stay in Merlin for too long. After the sunshine was insufficient and the temperature began to drop, they went down the mountain together.
When they finally parted, Gu Jingyan made an appointment with Yu Shuyue to go to the teahouse to listen to books together another day.
"Cousin, how about it, how should you thank me?"
In the carriage, Gu Jingyan looked at Qi Xiuyao, who was lying on the couch with a book in his hand, smiling and asking for credit.
"But I don't want your thanks. After all, I like a beautiful and lovely girl like Ah Yue very much."
Qi Xiuyao, who had been lazing since he got on the carriage, looked at her when he heard this.
"Cousin, don't worry, I like Ah Yue very much, and I will definitely use all my strength to help you pursue your wife."
"Be careful. I want you to sincerely make friends with Ah Yue. Although it is with a purpose in the beginning, you don't need to be too utilitarian in your future relationship. Do you understand?"
Although Gu Jingyan's words of helping him pursue his wife made him very happy, he was more afraid that Yu Shuyue would misunderstand him in the future. He could see that she still liked Gu Jingyan very much.
If in the end she misunderstood that Gu Jingyan's friendship with her was purely to help him, he was afraid that she would be estranged.
"Tsk, tsk, cousin, this doesn't look like you."
Gu Jingyan was simply amazed by his careful behavior.
Is this still the cousin she has known for more than ten years?
Except for the Gu family and Qi Jing, she had never seen him care so much about anyone, to the point of being cautious.
"You will do the same when you first start to fall in love and really care about others."
"Cousin, I'm very curious. Ah Yue grew up outside the Great Wall. She has only returned to Beijing for about three months. You don't have many interactions with each other. Is it possible that you really fell in love at first sight because of her hero saving beauty?
Are you unable to extricate yourself?"
Qi Xiuyao's devotion to Yu Shuyue was really a little too abnormal, and everything happened too fast.
Gu Jingyan really didn't understand...
Hearing Gu Jingyan's chirping questioning voice, Qi Xiuyao's eyes were still on the book in his hand, but he didn't focus on it. He had already let his thoughts go.
At this moment, all he could think about was his throbbing heart and uncontrollable emotions when he stood with Yu Shuyue.
Not only was Gu Jingyan curious about his behavior, he himself was also confused.
But at the same time, I was confused and fascinated. This chapter has been completed!
