Chapter 198: Not acclimatized
Long Shang asked Gu Lingyue to rest first, while he went to find Gu Chenxuan and told him his idea, and Gu Chenxuan agreed immediately. There was no place for him in the capital now, and he didn't know where to go. This was perfect. Not only could he help Yue'er and the others, but he also had a place to go. However, he had just seen his heart clearly and realized that he was not only grateful to Qiu Tong for taking care of him when he was in trouble, but he also really liked this kind girl.
If I leave, they won’t know when they will meet again?
After Long Shang left, he looked at Qiu Tong who was packing his things, thinking about something.
Qiu Tong sensed that Gu Chenxuan was looking at her. She turned around and looked at Gu Chenxuan, and their eyes met.
Her face flushed, and she turned her head slightly to avoid his burning gaze, and whispered, "Young Master..."
Gu Chenxuan walked over to Qiu Tong with a serious look, looked at her and said, "Qiutong, I'm going to leave the capital soon. Are you willing to leave with me?"
When Qiu Tong heard Gu Chenxuan say that he was leaving the capital and asked her if she was willing to leave with him, she suddenly froze in place, her heart beating faster. Was it what she thought?
The only thing in Qiu Tong's mind was Gu Chenxuan asking her if she was willing to leave with him, so she forgot to answer Gu Chenxuan's question.
After Gu Chenxuan finished speaking, he waited for a long time but did not hear Qiu Tong's response. He originally thought that Qiu Tong liked him as much as he did. When he did not hear Qiu Tong speak, he thought that Qiu Tong did not want to leave with him, but did not know how to refuse him, so she used silence to refuse him.
Gu Chenxuan felt sad and said with a wry smile, "I understand. You should take care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to go out for some fresh air. At this moment, Qiu Tong pinched her cheek with her hand and said, "Hiss~"
When she felt the pain, she was sure it was real.
Seeing Qiu Tong pinching herself, Gu Chenxuan subconsciously touched her red cheek and said distressedly, "Why did you pinch yourself? Does it hurt?"
Qiu Tong's cheeks flushed instantly, and she shook her head embarrassedly, "It doesn't hurt."
Only then did Gu Chenxuan realize what he had done.
He quickly put his hand down and coughed awkwardly, "Since it doesn't hurt, it should be fine. I'll go out for a walk first."
He finished his incoherent speech and was about to turn and leave. Qiu Tong looked at Gu Chenxuan's somewhat flustered expression and couldn't help laughing. She shouted at him, "I do!"
Gu Chenxuan paused, looking up at Qiu Tong in surprise. "What did you say?"
Qiu Tong blushed even more, but still insisted: "I said I am willing to leave with you, sir. No matter where you go, I am willing to follow you."
Gu Chenxuan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle and satisfied smile. He walked over to Qiu Tong and held her in his arms, "Don't worry, I will never let you down in this life."
Qiu Tong nodded gently and leaned on Gu Chenxuan shyly.
……
The next day, Emperor Tianqi said that the rewards for Gu Lingyue were finally delivered to Prince Jing's Mansion. Those rewards were some jade articles, calligraphy and paintings, and a few pieces of brocade. However, they were all good things, but this time there was not even an ounce of gold.
Long Shang told Gu Lingyue that these were all things from his father's private treasury. Gu Lingyue understood. No wonder the things this time were so good. It turned out that they were all private collections of Emperor Tianqi. It seemed that the treasury of Tianqi was really empty, otherwise Emperor Tianqi would not have used his private treasury.
After breakfast, Long Shang went to the palace to report to Emperor Tianqi that his friend had agreed to the conditions he mentioned. Emperor Tianqi asked Long Shang for his friend's name and expressed his desire to meet his friend.
Because the name was left blank when writing the imperial edict, he only wrote to confer the title of "Prince Shun" on that person.
"He's been sick these past few days due to the unfamiliar climate. If you want to see him, I'll bring him into the palace after he recovers, so he won't infect you with his illness."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi had no choice but to give up.
After Long Shang came out of the palace and returned home, he asked Yun Hao to take people to deliver the grain and silver to the Ministry of Revenue.
At this time, Gu Lingyue was chatting with Yang Yanru in Zizhuxuan.
Yang Yanru told Gu Lingyue about Dong Jinyu's visit to her, and told Gu Lingyue that Dong Jinyu should take action next, so she should be more careful.
In fact, Gu Lingyue already knew when Dong Jinyu went to find Yang Yanru yesterday. She even knew exactly what they said. However, when she knew that Yang Yanru liked Chang Jinnuo, she knew that Yang Yanru would not go along with her.
Sure enough, Yang Yanru came to tell me today.
Gu Lingyue smiled and nodded, "I understand. I'll have people pay more attention to her. You should also be careful that she might become desperate and do something desperate."
"Don't worry, I never ate or used the things she sent me. Dongyue threw them all away." Yang Yanru said with a smile.
Gu Lingyue agreed with Yang Yanru's approach. One must always be on guard against others, especially a vicious and insidious woman like Dong Jinyu. If one is not careful and vigilant, one may be retaliated by her.
At this moment, Gu Chenrui walked in with Wei Yingying.
"Sister Yue!" Wei Yingying ran to Gu Lingyue happily.
Gu Lingyue reached out and rubbed her hair lovingly, then looked at Yang Yanru and said, "Call me Sister Yang."
Wei Yingying frowned upon hearing this, then thought of something and said, "I'm calling you Sister Yang, so please don't compete with Sister Yue for Big Daddy, okay?"
Hearing her words, Gu Lingyue and Yang Yanru chuckled. Wei Yingying looked at Gu Chenrui behind her and said, "Brother Rui, did I say something wrong?"
At this time, Gu Chenrui didn't know about Chang Jinnuo and Yang Yanru, so he frowned slightly and shook his head at Wei Yingying.
Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "No, Yingying didn't say anything wrong. Sister Yue should thank Yingying for protecting her. However, your sister Yang will not compete with Sister Yue for your big daddy."
"Oh! Really?" Wei Yingying still didn't quite believe it and looked at Yang Yanru.
Now that these women have moved into the mansion, will they really not compete with her sister Yue for the eldest father?
"It's true." Gu Lingyue reached out and pinched Wei Yingying's little face, then looked at Yang Yanru and said jokingly, "Because your sister Yang also has someone she likes!"
When Yang Yanru heard this, her face turned red instantly and she lowered her head shyly.
Wei Yingying happily called out to Yang Yanru sweetly, "Sister Yang." Then she came to Yang Yanru and said coquettishly, "Sister Yang, can I come and play with you in the future?"
Now her sister Yue has a baby, and her uncle doesn't allow her to disturb her sister Yue's rest often. When her brother Rui doesn't come back, she can only play with her sisters Yunshu and Yunjin, but they also have to serve her sister Yue, so she will have no one to play with.
"Of course." Yang Yanru said with a smile.
At this time, Gu Lingyue looked at Gu Chenrui, "Why did you leave the study so early today?"
"The teacher has something to do today, so the get out of class ends early."
When Yang Yanru saw the two siblings talking, she found an excuse to take Dongyue and leave.
Gu Chenrui then said, "Third and fourth brothers are back, and mother wants to go back to grandpa's house. I asked you if you want to go?"
Gu Lingyue guessed that they must have come back for their marriage, but she hadn't seen her third and fourth brothers for a long time, so she said, "I'll go with you."
