In the front hall, the atmosphere was extremely silent.
Thinking of the rumors in the capital in recent days, even though the Pei family's rules were extremely strict, the maids could not help but have a burning desire for gossip and cast their eyes on the two people in the hall.
Gu Qingqiu was restless, feeling the lines of sight, and her cheeks were stained with a hint of embarrassment.
In the past few days, in addition to the fact that Gu Yunwan is about to marry Juren, there is another rumor circulating in Beijing... that she and Prince Duan...
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqiu subconsciously raised his eyes.
But every time she saw the handsome face of the man opposite her, a blush appeared on her face.
Her calm inner lake was rippled by the tenderness in the man's eyes.
At this moment, a graceful figure walked through the verandah, carrying waves of fragrant wind, and walked into the sight of several people.
"Ning'er."
As the low, magnetic male voice sounded, Gu Ning raised his eyelids coldly and looked at him without sadness or joy.
The man in front of me is none other than the male protagonist in the original book—Duan Wang Chu Yunyi.
The book said that this person was tough and put his interests first, but Gu Qingqiu was his weak spot.
He was very disgusted with the original owner, and usually avoided him, but today he was uncharacteristically coming to see him, presumably because of the rumors in the capital these days.
As for Gu Qingqiu... he must have discovered that Sun Yu was already in the Pei Mansion when he was trying to get rid of Sun Yu to avoid future troubles, so he had to go to the Pei Mansion and try to take Sun Yu away so that he could cancel the marriage.
Before Chu Yunyi could speak, Gu Ning took the lead in attacking.
She pointed at Gu Qingqiu and sneered: "What? Your Highness, Prince Duan, came to Pei Mansion today to break off the engagement and propose to marry her instead?"
"Why did the third sister say this?" Gu Qingqiu was shocked when she heard this. Bu Yao on her temples couldn't stop shaking because of her master's panic. She subconsciously turned her eyes to Chu Yunyi for help.
Chu Yunyi frowned. He did not dare to reprimand Gu Ning, so he turned his anger to Chunyu, "How did you serve me! You let these collected news taint the ears of the county master!"
He looked at Gu Ning with sincerity in his eyes: "I came here today precisely to explain this matter to you. How can you believe those rumors?"
Gu Ning sneered in her heart. If it was really the original owner who foolishly admired Chu Yunyi, he might have taken the bait.
But how could this scumbag expect that she ordered people to spread the news?
No matter how Chu Yunyi tried to persuade him, Gu Ning remained silent.
A haze flashed across Chu Yunyi's eyes. He hadn't seen her for a few days. The stupid woman who obeyed his words and wanted to stick to him as soon as she saw him actually seemed to be a different person.
At this moment, Gu Qingqiu spoke.
"Third sister, Your Highness and I are completely innocent, and there will never be any compromise!"
"How to prove it?" Gu Ning sneered, raised her chin, and looked at her coldly, her clear peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Gu Qingqiu took a step back unconsciously. The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out.
What came to her mind at this moment was every detail of her relationship with Chu Yunyi. Her heart trembled suddenly and she clenched her sleeves.
Are she and His Highness really innocent?
Gu Qingqiu bit his lower lip tightly, his delicate face completely drained of blood: "I..."
"It's just some rumors, why do you need to embarrass her?"
Seeing that his beloved was in a dilemma, Chu Yunyi's face became gloomy, and he tore off the gentle disguise.
He always treated Gu Ning harshly.
And Gu Ning, who has always been unruly and perverse, has no choice but to suffer in vain.
But he didn't expect that Gu Ning, who was standing in front of him today, had already changed his mind.
Almost as soon as Chu Yunyi finished speaking, Gu Ning raised her eyebrows high and pursed her red lips: "Your Highness really cares about my eldest sister and is reluctant to let her suffer any injustice."
"Gu Ning!" Chu Yunyi scolded in displeasure.
"Prince Duan is here. I am rude and did not greet him personally."
An old woman with beady temples walked into the front hall with the help of a servant.
As soon as she arrived, the whole room fell silent.
Chu Yunyi's expression changed slightly, but his anger subsided in an instant.
"Auntie, why are you back?"
Gu Ning was also a little surprised. The eldest princess should be spending the summer in the palace at this time. Why did she come back early?
Seeing Chu Yunyi stepping forward respectfully, he tried to help the eldest princess.
Gu Ning immediately put all these doubts behind his mind, crossed Chu Yunyi in three steps, and grabbed the eldest princess first.
"Grandma, Ning'er misses you!"
She snuggled close to the eldest princess and separated herself from Chu Yunyi's outstretched hand.
Chu Yunyi suppressed the impatience in his heart, frowned and said: "Ning'er, my aunt is old, how can you..."
"Ning'er just hasn't seen me for a long time." The eldest princess didn't even look at him, but looked at Gu Ning with concern for a long time.
"The mansion is quite lively today."
When she spoke, her shrewd eyes scanned everyone present.
Gu Qingqiu bowed respectfully: "I have met the eldest princess."
The eyes of the eldest princess were like substance, which made Gu Qingqiu feel even more uneasy.
She pinched her sleeves tightly and said softly: "Third sister left home in anger and took Sun Yu away. I came here today to beg Third Sister to let Sun Yu go."
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and said with unclear meaning: "Ning'er has always been soft-tempered, how could she run away from home? You must have bullied her."
Gu Qingqiu's face turned pale. It was clearly Gu Ning who disrespected his elders that day and ridiculed them in every possible way with someone's support. How come the eldest princess told her that they were bullying Gu Ning?
More than a hundred forbidden troops blocked the Gu Mansion tightly, how could they bully Gu Ning?
When Gu Qingqiu was feeling aggrieved, a voice sounded faster than her.
"Grandma, since you are not in the capital, I have been bullied badly!" Gu Ning shook her arm and said aggrievedly, "First, my father and his two sisters blamed me for having an affair, and then
…”
Chu Yunyi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly interrupted her: "Ning'er, you and I have been engaged for a long time, and you are the only one in my heart."
"That's not necessarily the case." Gu Ning sneered, "Your Highness interrupts me so impatiently? Are you afraid that others will know about the scandalous things you have done?"
She stretched out an overly white hand and pointed it directly at Chu Yunyi and Gu Qingqiu.
In the quiet front hall, Gu Ning could be heard saying in a cold voice: "I found out that my fiancé is having a secret affair with my gentle and gentle eldest sister!"
Before the eldest princess could speak, Chu Yunyi said sharply: "Are some gossips worthy of you getting in front of my great-aunt?"
Gu Ning sneered, changing her usual meekness in front of Chu Yunyi.
She raised her chin, looked at Chu Yunyi, and asked: "This is related to my life-long event, why is it not worth it? Besides, if I don't tell my grandmother, how can my grandmother make the decision for me?"
The smile on the face of the eldest princess gradually disappeared: "Ning'er, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course!" Gu Ning shouted, "I still have evidence!"
Gu Qingqiu's heart was beating like thunder, and she wrinkled her sleeves. The uneasiness in her heart reached its peak at this moment.
Before she could react, Gu Ning grabbed her hands, unable to move, and she watched helplessly as Gu Ning took out the golden hairpin from her sleeve.
"This golden hairpin inlaid with Dongzhu was a token of love given to me by His Highness." Gu Ning pulled out the golden hairpin from his temples, let the hair fall loose, and raised the two gold hairpins high.
, and presented it to the eldest princess.
"What a coincidence is that eldest sister also has an identical hairpin!" She looked straight at Gu Qingqiu, as if she could see through her heart, "How precious is the East Pearl? In addition, the craftsmanship of the gold hairpin is special and cannot be made by the private sector.
Dare I ask eldest sister, where did your golden hairpin come from?"
Gu Qingqiu's face turned pale. When she accepted the golden hairpin, she didn't do it out of the desire to compete with Gu Ning, nor did she know that it was exactly the same as Gu Ning...
"Sister, haven't you thought of your words yet?" Gu Ning sneered, "Then let me say it for you. You had an affair with His Highness long before I got engaged! This golden hairpin is
Physical evidence!”
"Sister, I always like to go boating on East Lake. Coincidentally, His Highness's house is right next to East Lake. Are you going boating? Or are you having a private meeting with His Highness?"
"No!" Gu Qingqiu lost his voice, "There has never been any overstep between me and His Highness!"
Her face was pale, but she changed her weak posture and faced the questioning gaze of everyone.
"If I violate this oath, I will not have a happy ending in this life!"
Chu Yunyi also spoke at this time: "Ning'er, the same gold hairpin doesn't mean anything, not to mention that Miss Gu has already sworn a poisonous oath, you should believe it."
"Poisonous oath?" Gu Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "Why don't you make one too, Your Highness? Just say... If you love Gu Qingqiu, you will not die well in this life, and everything you want will leave you!"
Chu Yunyi, who was as gentle as jade, suddenly turned cold as ice.
Gu Ning sneered, she wanted to see if Chu Yunyi dared to make such a poisonous oath!
She had read the original book over and over several times in the past few days, and was sure that Gu Qingqiu and Chu Yunyi had been flirting with each other for some time.
As beautiful as a flower, gentle and carefree, and with the halo of being a heroine, how could Chu Yunyi not be moved?
The scene was at a stalemate for a moment, Chu Yunyi stared straight at Gu Ning, but the latter looked innocent, as if this was just an ordinary oath.
"good."
Chu Yunyi spoke with difficulty.
He would not ignore the suspicious gaze of the eldest princess. In order to appease the eldest princess, he had to comply with this request.
"In this life, I only have Gu Ning in my heart. If I love Gu Qingqiu, I will not die well in this life, and everything I want will leave me!"
Gu Qingqiu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yunyi in disbelief.
A trace of unwillingness sprouted in her heart.
The eldest princess gently patted Gu Ning's head and smiled at Chu Yunyi: "This girl is spoiled by me. Your Highness is magnanimous. Don't argue with her."
Chu Yunyi's expression softened slightly, he smiled, and he became the gentle and jade-like His Highness Duan Wang again.
