Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nothing to Do
After saying that, Gu Yan turned around to look for her horse, this time Shen Qianshan didn't stop Gu Yan, and let Gu Yan walk past him, the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on Gu Yan's body made Shen Qianshan's eyes flash.
After Gu Yan left, Ziyan, who was picking up the lantern next to her, found that the good sister she had just recognized was gone, so she hurriedly walked up and wanted to hold Shen Qianshan's hand, but Shen Qianshan avoided her and walked towards his house.
Ziyan was probably used to Shen Qianshan's appearance, so he followed behind Shen Qianshan and asked very strangely, "Ninth brother, why is my sister missing?" Are you with my sister? ”
Shen Qianshan stopped, his expression changed unpredictably, and when he saw his brother stop, Ziyan also walked up, curiously wanting to hear Shen Qianshan's answer, but Shen Qianshan didn't say anything, just walked forward by himself.
Ziyan was anxious to call Shen Qianshan behind him, but was stopped by the secret guard who appeared from nowhere.
"County Lord, go back, it's getting late." The Dark Guard said slowly.
The county lord Ziyan's face was very ugly, and he turned his head to the dark guard and said coldly: "I am the county lord, do you know?" That's my ninth brother, how are you talking to me now? ”
Ziyan looked very cute when she was angry, her face was red, her mouth was pouting, and she was rolling her eyes.
The dark guard stood over there, not saying anything, just coldly, obviously telling Ziyan that he couldn't say anything, and he wouldn't have a chance to get close to Shen Qianshan.
Although Ziyan was unhappy, this was not the first time, and she accepted it.
When Gu Yan returned to the house, it was already late at night, the moon was hidden in the dark clouds, and after Gu Yan entered the courtyard, she saw that listening to the wind and blowing snow had not slept yet, and they were discussing something together in the house.
Seeing that Gu Chang was back, the two maids quickly got up and showed Gu Chang the fabric in their hands, saying that they were going to prepare a new dress for Gu Chang.
Gu Yan poured herself a cup of tea, listened to the wind and the blowing snow, and withdrew with a very long look. Gu Yan sat in front of the window, took out the diary, and flipped through two pages, it was still the same as before, there was nothing, Gu Yan Wu sharpened the ink by herself, her heart was messy, and finally gave up and put the pen aside.
Nothing to do today.
Because the encounter with Shen Zhongbai and the story with Shen Qianshan are inevitable, all Gu Chang can do is accept.
The cold wind swirled above the palace, and the thirty-year-old Gu Yan reached out and touched the location of her heart, but there was still no sound, and the place that was supposed to contain her heart was empty and scared her.
The memories are filled in all the time, Gu Yan knows that she is fifteen years old and she is going through those things, and even she knows that her fifteen-year-old self is trying her best to change all this, although she lost a chance before, but now another she is trying her best to rewrite everything before.
No matter how she chooses and how she changes, she can accept it.
In these days floating over the palace, Gu Yan has no future, only the past, and repeatedly recalling the past every day makes her even more uncomfortable, and those memories are like needles piercing her heart.
Fortunately, now someone has finally changed that memory, and there is indeed such an opportunity to live a different life. The Nine Princes who died in the end, what kind of life will greet him? Is it a fate that still can't be escaped, or is it trying to turn the tide and make her life look different.
Gu Yan slowly closed her eyes, feeling that her body was as light as a leaf. I obviously hope that I will change something, but I can only wait for another self to change, and now I can't do anything.
Merlin, the moonlight was as cold as water, and the wind around him blew on Shen Zhongbai's body, making him fight a cold war, he had been standing in this cold pool for three hours, and he thought that the dark guard would come to save his life soon, but he didn't expect the dark guard to come for a long time.
Although the body no longer sank down, it couldn't come up, and those cold mud and cold penetrated deep into the bone marrow, making Shen Zhongbai feel that his legs were no longer numerous.
Finally, when the fish white belly appeared in the east, the secret guard belatedly arrived, reached out and pulled Shen Zhongbai out of the cold pool, and then helped him change into clean clothes.
From beginning to end, Shen Zhongbai had no expression, although his body was already cold, his aura was still strong, and the dark guard knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Go get the penalty!" After Shen Zhongbai said such words coldly, he was carried back to the mansion.
The dark guard opened his mouth, but he knew that he had no chance, God knew that he had already seen Shen Zhongbai fall into the water, and wanted to rush out to save him, but he was stopped by a master halfway, and he struggled with this master for a long time before he barely got out and had time to come over to save people.
However, the master will not give the dark guard a chance to defend himself.
The moonlight is cool, the body of the dark guard lies quietly in this plum forest, there is no one around, Jin Ye stands on the tip of the tree with a light tiptoe, and flies away, no mistake, the master that the dark guard met is Jin Ye, but no one knows anymore.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zhongbai got up, and his whole body was still as cold as when he fell into a pool.
The secret guard walked up from the side, looked at Shen Zhongbai's cold face, and shivered fiercely, but he still stood in front of Shen Zhongbai, after all, money is not easy to earn, and a companion is like a tiger.
"What about Gu Yan? Didn't she look for you last night? Shen Zhongbai put on another piece of clothing, but he still didn't feel warm.
The secret guard lowered his head and said to Shen Zhongbai: "Back to the third prince, Miss Gu went to Anning Street with the Nine Princes to enjoy the lanterns in the middle of the night. ”
Viewing lanterns!? Shen Zhong was so angry that he was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and he threw himself in Hantan and even went on a date with another man, could it be that he deliberately threw himself there? Or was it all done by Gu Chang?
But why did Gu Yan do this? The women of the Gu family all like what Shen Zhongbai likes, why is it this Gu Yan's turn to be so indifferent to herself, and she also designed to frame herself. That's not all, the martial arts on his body suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't get rid of Gu Yan.
What a strange girl, to say that women Shen Zhongbai has seen too much, those women all hope to get on this royal ship, but a woman like Gu Yan who does the opposite makes him suddenly interested.
There is no woman in this world that Shen Zhongbai can't take.
Shen Zhongbai asked the maid to put on winter clothes for herself again, and then said to the secret guard beside her: "When the rumors go out, it is said that Miss Gu Yan saved this king, and this king is very grateful." ”
The dark guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
In the backyard of the Gu family, when Gu Yan woke up, it was already early in the morning, and after tossing all night yesterday, she felt soreness all over her body, but she still got up, Ye's personality is not good, if you ask for an evening, you must be angry.
Although according to Ye's character, it is estimated that he will not be able to lose his temper in front of himself, but stumbling blocks behind his back are indispensable.
In the courtyard, Ye Shi sat on a chair and drank tea, the morning air was fresh, the dew was dotted, she reached out and took a pastry on the table, elegantly put it in her mouth, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
After Gu Zhihua next to him drank the red date soup, he turned his head to look at his mother.
Ye Shi naturally felt Gu Zhihua's gaze, and suddenly said coldly: "What do you have to ask me?" ”
Gu Zhihua's face turned red, lowered his head and whispered: "My daughter wants to ask her mother, is today's rumor true?" ”
Ye sighed heavily, and before he could say anything to Gu Zhihua, he saw Gu Yan dressed in plain white clothes, straightening her back, and coming this way.
"We'll talk about that later!" Ye Shi said coldly, Gu Zhihua pursed his mouth, and also turned his head to look at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan walked in and saluted Ye's with a calm face, and she didn't see any emotion at all.
"Don't worry, sit down and let's have a good chat." Ye put away the gloom on his face, raised his eyes and smiled brightly at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was shocked in her heart, her eyes fluttered, and she knew that she didn't have anything good to do when she looked at Ye's expression, but after all, she was the wife of the Gu family, even if she was the eldest lady of the Gu family, she still wanted to give her a little face.
What's more, now that the Ye family holds the power of the Gu family, although Gu Yan feels unbalanced in her heart, who let her mother die early?
So Gu Yan slowly sat down next to Ye and Gu Zhihua, Ye pushed the tea in front of him to Gu Yan's side, smiled kindly, and said to her: "Sister, mother heard that you saved the third prince early this morning?" Is this true or not? ”
The movements in Gu Yan's hand suddenly stopped, and after Gu Zhihua next to him heard Ye's words, he was full of excitement, but his face was silent, obviously wanting to hear what was going on. This happened only half the night, and it had already reached Ye's ears? If none of them make waves, they don't believe it at all.
After being slightly stunned, Gu Yan hurriedly picked up the teacup and said casually: "No, it's just a rumor." ”
Gu Yan obviously felt that Gu Zhi's portrait was loosened like a deflated ball, the corners of Gu Yan's mouth rose, this girl had no determination, and her heart to marry the third prince was unbearable.
Ye Shi coughed softly, obviously knowing that things would not be so simple, but Gu Yan didn't say anything, and he couldn't help it.
"Sister-in-law, you also know that the reputation of our Gu family is very good in this capital, this is the credit of your two sisters, and now the matter between you and the third prince is spread everywhere in the capital, and I can't hang it on the face of a mother." Ye said, his voice was very gentle, like spring water.
Gu Yan turned her head to look at Ye's family, her eyes were clear and her face was expressionless, when did Ye care about her?
