"Don't apologize, you can go get the silver when you get back."
Gu Liuyan pretended to be impatient, but his heart was beating incessantly in his chest. He still had to restrain his temper and didn't look at Duan Chengxuan again.
It was a pity that the house was in the middle of a rainy night. Just as they got closer to Duan Chengxuan, a pretty young miss accidentally bumped into Duan Chanrui. Duan Chengrui lowered his head and subconsciously supported the young lady.
With this raise of his head, Gu Daiyan cried out in his heart, afraid that Duan Chengxuan would notice Duan Chenrui's arrival.
"Ouch." Gu Liuyan purposely bumped into Duan Cheng Xuan's shoulder and staggered a few steps.
Duan Chengrui reacted and quickly supported Gu Daiyan. He couldn't avoid letting Gu Mingyan slap him on the head with the folding fan in his hand, and he said in a low voice, "Scram!"
Duan Chengrui held her steady, then pinched his throat and said, "I …" I'll get you your clothes. "
Gu Daiyan pretended to be angry, but the waiter beside him sucked in a breath of cold air. Before Gu Daiyan could react, his wrist was caught. He raised his head and looked into the pair of dark and deep eyes.
His heart pounded like a drum.
Duan Chengxuan pulled her to his side, but he noticed that this face was different from Gu Liuyan's, it was only slightly similar.
Gu Liuyan's face almost revealed a shocked expression, but she immediately remembered her identity. She lifted the corner of her mouth into a cold smile and directly waved away Duan Chenxuan's hand. She opened her folding fan with a cold glint in her eyes, "I was wondering who it was. This commoner pays her respects to the Jing King."
With an indifferent attitude, Duan Chengxuan frowned. "You are …"
"Who I am should have nothing to do with Prince Jing." He did not care that Cheng Shan's hand was already on the saber hilt at his waist. He only said coldly: "A few months ago, when my sister Yi had just died, I saw the prince and your concubines having fun together. The royalty is really ruthless."
"How dare you!" Cheng Shan's blade was drawn.
Duan Chengxuan raised his hand to block Cheng Shan, then carefully sized him up. "You're Yan'Er's foster brother?"
"Whether I am or not is meaningless to you right now." Gu Danyan's eyes were filled with undisguised hatred, the memories from the past made her even more resentful: "Yi'jie did so many good deeds, but in the end she died of illness in your Jing King Manor. May I ask if this is how His Highness treats her? Furthermore, just based on the rest I've heard about in the past two days, they already said that you doted on the side room and ignored my foster sister, causing her to die of depression! "
These accusations were enough to break Duan Cheng Xuan's cold face. The guilt he felt towards Gu Xuan surged over in an overwhelming fashion, and even the gaze he shot at the Yun family descendant turned cold. "Since you're her little brother, this king will not pursue this matter."
"Thank you so much, Your Highness!" After Gu Danyan finished his sentence, he waved his sleeves and left.
The other guests all turned their heads to pretend they didn't hear him, and Duan Cheng Xuan had lost any intention of paying a visit to Princess Ming Zhu as she left in rage.
He had never heard Gu Mingyan say that she had an adopted brother who looked so similar to her, but this brother of hers was indeed very bold. He really did resemble Gu Danyan.
Cheng Shan quickly followed, "Do you need me to finish him off?"
"What's his last name?" Duan Chengxuan had a cold expression.
"The waiter said that person's surname is Yun. He came from Lingnan to do business in the infirmary." Cheng Shan's voice was rather soft.
Duan Chengxuan rubbed his forehead with a headache. "In the future, if you meet the descendants of the Yun Clan, treat them well."
"Yes." Cheng Shan could only nod and agree.
In an alley that the two of them could not see, Gu Danyan silently watched Duan Chengxuan's figure disappear into the corner in front of her. She rubbed her throbbing temples.
Would you feel guilty about me, too?
She couldn't help but think about it. She had already achieved her purpose in coming here. Although she didn't manage to find out much, Meng Shu was definitely someone who had been here for a long time.
Gu Danyan's expression didn't look good when she met with Duan Chengrui at the prearranged meeting place, but Duan Chengrui clearly knew the reason, but he didn't ask. He only sent her back to the Wind Listening Pavilion with all her beard and said in a soft voice, "I'll come look for you when I get the news. Rest well for the next few days."
"Yeah, but I'll have to trouble you to send someone to look for Meng Shu." Gu Danyan pretended to smile and got off the carriage, then slowly returned to the Wind Listening Pavilion.
Back at the Wind Listening Pavilion, when she met Yun Dian, she was still as indifferent as ever, acting as if nothing had happened.
However, when the wind started to blow at night, Ghastly Shadow finally grabbed her and brought her to the eaves of the house. He then picked up two bottles of wine and sat beside her.
Gu Danyan held the wine cup in his hand and didn't do anything for a long time: "What did you see?"
"I can see you're stuck with love again." The ghost drank a mouthful of wine and felt the spiciness on his throat, "You kept saying you'd better put it down, and you didn't really put it down. If you don't want to see it and don't want to be entangled, then just run away."
"Are you a child? Escape will not solve the problem. " Gu Liuyan glared at him, but her body leaned on his shoulder: "I can't stop moving."
"You are always so strong. Is there no one who can stop you?" Phantom Shadow laughed softly and kicked her foot. "Can't you be a bit more feminine and be well protected by others?"
"I'm leaning on your shoulder, aren't I a woman?" Gu Danyan also kicked him.
If only you could rely on others normally, then the Third Prince will beat up his mountains. No matter what you instruct him to do, he will knock his head against the south wall and he will do it. Now that you've paved a path for him, in the future, if you travel the world, then he will be unable to do anything because he no longer has you. Ghosts taught her a lesson.
Upon hearing this, Gu Danyan rubbed his head: "But if I didn't tell him, what if he took a wrong turn?"
"Are you his mother? This is his business, his business. I can't rely on you for everything. " The ghost helplessly shook his head and slanted his eyes at her. "If I were you, I would be filial to my mother. You know, things are unpredictable."
At this point, ghost's eyes also showed a little guilt.
Gu Liuyan had seen all of this.
In the end, they only accompanied each other for a few days. But as far as ghosts and ghosts were concerned, Yun Wan was the benefactor who had extended her mother's life, so she usually addressed Yun Shu as Madam.
"You're right. How about you acknowledge me as your elder sister? My mother is also your mother." Gu Liuyan's mood immediately improved.
Third Prince wanted to help him, so why was she so nervous?
"You really can talk." Ghosts looked at her with wide eyes.
The two of them sat on the roof of the house and drank their wine happily before leaving in the evening.
When Yun Dian, who was on the second floor of the Wind Tower, saw all of this, Liu'er, who was standing opposite of him, opened her mouth slightly and said, "Don't worry, Miss has found a good friend already?"
"How about I acknowledge him as my foster son?" Yun Dian could not help but say. Ping Chuan, who had heard everything clearly, choked on the water as he pounded his chest.
It looked like these two really were mother and daughter.
