Under Lin Wanzhi's comforting words, Gu Zheng could only sigh and say helplessly, "Do you think that Wangchuan will be happy if he marries Wei Yi?" The stars in his eyes clearly dimmed a little.
Hearing the word 'happiness', Lin Wan Xin's heart skipped a beat. However, she quickly recovered and replied, "Gu Zheng, I actually don't know either. I just think that since Wu Chuan was willing to marry Wei Yi in the end, there must be a reason behind it. It's just that to the both of you, this is a very unfortunate result."
Upon hearing this reply, Gu Zheng sighed helplessly and continued to mutter to himself. "Perhaps you're right. Wangchuan must have been willing to marry Wei Yi."
Although Gu Zheng was muttering to himself, he firmly believed that Wangchuan liked him. It was only because their marriage had been bestowed by the Emperor that Wangchuan had no choice but to carry it out.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was getting more and more upset, Lin Wan Zhi walked up and looked at Gu Zheng with a hesitant expression.
Perhaps sensing Lin Wanzhi's awkwardness, Gu Zheng stretched out his left hand, as if he had become a different person.
"I understand everything you've said, but I'm not willing to accept it." Gu Zheng was dispirited as he sat on the stone bench, his emotions complicated.
"Although Wu Chuan and I are good friends, I still hope that she can marry you. After all, the relationship between the two of you cannot deceive anyone." Lin Wanzhi smiled gently. Her tone was still as gentle as ever.
"Do you really think so?" Gu Zheng suddenly grasped Lin Wanzhi's shoulder with both hands in excitement.
She knew her position in Gu Zheng's heart, and she understood the reason why she and Gu Zheng were united. However, when she saw Gu Zheng perform such an emotional action because of Wenchuan, she also hoped that such a man would go crazy for her. However, this thought only flashed through her mind; after all, she had an important mission on her mind.
In order not to offend Gu Zheng, Lin Wanzhi resolutely nodded his head.
After receiving his affirmation, Gu Zheng said excitedly, "Since that's the case, then I'll go look for Wu Chuan now. I want him to know my feelings for her."
Seeing that Gu Zheng had suddenly become agitated, Lin Wanzhi immediately grabbed his arm and advised, "Gu Zheng, you must not go looking for Wan Chuan now or something big will happen."
"Big matter? Could it be that you're worried that I'm afraid of that black-faced Wei Yi? "
"No …"
"What does that mean?"
"Gu Zheng, I know that you definitely won't fear Wei Yi, and your strength won't be much weaker than his either. However, if you go to Wangchuan now in such a reckless manner, that would be the worst possible outcome for her." Lin Wan Zhi said earnestly.
Having been reminded by Lin Wanzhi, Gu Zheng suddenly said to himself, "That's right, if not for you, I would really have acted on impulse."
After a long while, Gu Zheng seemed to have thought of something and asked Lin Wanzhi, "What did Forgetfulness Creek find you for today?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was abnormally agitated, Lin Wanzhi sighed in his heart and told the truth in the end, "Gu Zheng, I forgot that the main reason I'm here today is to invite me to her wedding banquet tomorrow."
Upon hearing that there was actually no information regarding him during this period of time, Gu Zheng's eyes held a tinge of disappointment.
In the end, Lin Wanzhi opened his mouth and said, a little embarrassed, "Gu Zheng, there's something I hope you can help me with."
Since Gu Zheng's mind was entirely preoccupied with Forgetfulness, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he said anxiously, "Say it, as long as it's within my capabilities, I will not refuse."
"Alright, since it's like this, then please give me a letter of rest." A few simple words represented the final result.
Upon hearing Lin Wanzhi's request, Gu Zheng was momentarily stunned. However, he reacted within a few seconds. With regards to their relationship, such an outcome was inevitable, it would only be a matter of time.
However, Gu Zheng still confirmed, "If it's too late, are you sure you want to do this? Although I, Gu Zheng, am not as strong as Wei Yi, as long as you follow me, no one will dare to do anything to you. "
However, Lin Wanzhi had more important matters to attend to. Thus, he nodded his head resolutely and once again said firmly, "I'm sure that if I continue to be in your main palace, then neither of us will benefit. As for me, I might as well give this position to someone else."
Lin Huang had been waiting for this moment for a long time. After all …
In a place where she had no feelings for someone, it would be better to let her walk the world in a natural manner. It had been a long time since she had gone out.
He had been sealed here for three years. For a woman, how many years had it been?
After receiving the letter of rest that Gu Zheng had written for her, Lin Wan Zhi's emotions were mixed. To her, she really hoped to obtain the care and protection of someone like Gu Zheng, but there were some things that she had to accomplish alone. Thus, Lin Wan Zhi kept the letter of rest.
"..."
After returning to the room, the servant girl asked Lin Wanzhi, "Madam, to us women, a divorce is the most taboo. Why would you ask for a divorce from an adult?"
How could Lin Wanzhi not know what she was talking about? However, in her opinion, instead of maintaining a superficial relationship with Gu Zheng, it would be better to directly draw a clear line between them. This way, it would not delay her and at the same time would be of great help to Gu Zheng.
Returning to the study room, Gu Zheng stared at the big red invitation card on the table, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go. He had seen a lot of things, including her happy, sad, and humble appearance. He had never seen her in such a state.
Indeed, Lin Wan was right. Sometimes, someone who loves doesn't necessarily have to have it. As long as she is happy, it is better to keep her by one's side.
The next night was the wedding night between Wu Chuan and Wei Yi.
After Wei Yi's meticulous preparations in the early stages of the wedding, the scene was brightly lit, the sounds of firecrackers rang out, and the red branches flourished. It was a peaceful scene, and everything was much more grand than Gu Zheng's wedding.
When Gu Zheng saw Wu Chuan dressed in red, being slowly pulled forward by Wei Yi, the surroundings were full of noise like fire.
Gu Zheng recalled the day of his wedding. Wangchuan's laughter was even more intense than the flowers beside the Yellow Springs. West side narration, Lantian obtains the jade. "I wish Lord and Madam Qin Jin a happy marriage, a happy marriage; like a fish in water, blooming with flowers."
Qin Jin and Huanhuan lived side by side with each other like a fish in water and blossomed with flowers. "And the flower blossoms...
Not far away from the wedding site, Gu Zheng stood in the darkness in a black robe, watching their blissful expressions from afar. He silently closed his eyes and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye. No one had seen what had happened.
