Chapter 5: Old Things
Seeing Gu Zhao again a few days later, Lin Chonghan only felt a sudden feeling, as if he had had an extraordinarily long dream in the previous five years.
He had lost some weight and had more stubble on his chin.
Lin Chonghan asked his subordinates to show him a seat, and then said: "I left in too much hurry that day, I don't want to forget to take this book, and I want to thank you this time." ”
She asked Spring to get the book, but Gu Zhao refused, he took out the letterhead from the book, and whispered the hairpin phoenix in Lin Chonghan's surprised gaze.
"I'm sorry, Chonghan, I didn't know that you had a deep affection for me, all these years, I was ashamed of you."
"No...... This," Lin Chonghan looked at the letterhead he was holding in his hand, and was a little speechless for a while, "You don't have to be like this. ”
She wanted to explain, but she didn't want to add to the waves, and after a while, she could only say with difficulty: "Everything has passed, and the future ...... In the future, you and Miss Yu can live a good life. ”
Gu Zhao tried his best to ignore the sorrow in his heart, but pretended to be generous and put the letterhead on the table, and then turned his head and strode away, so that Lin Chonghan didn't even have time to ask someone to send him out.
But fortunately, Gu Zhao had been to the Lin Mansion a few times before, so he should also recognize the way out.
Gu Zhao thought that he had finally said goodbye to the past, and he tried his best to ignore the subtle pain in his heart, and at the same time painted the future of He Yu Qing in his mind, hoping to get some joy.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he forgot himself for a while, and when he came back to his senses again, he found that he had unknowingly lost his way.
Gu Zhao was about to open his mouth to call someone, but suddenly heard the sound of a few small people talking behind the rockery on the side, and Lin Chonghan seemed to be mentioned in his words.
He unconsciously lightened his steps and approached the rockery, only to hear the two of them say-
"I was just about to go to the lady's room to deliver snacks when I heard that Gu Jiaerlang reading the hairpin head phoenix. He even thought that the young lady had a deep affection for him? ”
"Isn't that a joke? …… Everyone in the mansion knew that the young lady decided to marry him Gu Zhao because of the unfortunate death of him five years ago...... He really thinks of himself as a green onion. ”
"Boom—"
Gu Zhao only felt like being struck by lightning for a while, and the little guy's harsh words were like a sledgehammer, shattering his self-esteem.
The emotion of shame spread from the soles of his feet all over his body, and he couldn't help but think that when he thought he was affectionately reciting the hairpin phoenix in front of Lin Chonghan just now, Lin Chonghan's slightly strange expression, he thought she was sad.
I didn't expect it - I didn't expect it!
It turned out that from beginning to end, only he Gu Zhao was teased, and when he thought that Lin Chonghan was warming up with himself, he might be thinking about other men in his heart, and he only felt that his heart was boiling with anger.
He's going to look back for her, he's going to ask her!
Lin Chonghan was holding the West Chamber, leaning against the window and flipping through it, and there was still the hairpin head phoenix on the desk.
Kasuga handed her a hand stove, and stopped talking a little: "Miss, do you want to explain it clearly to Gu Jiaerlang?" ”
"No," she said, she raised her hand, "I may not have anything to do with him in this life, so why bother." ”
The master and servant were talking, when they suddenly saw the door of the house being pushed open, Gu Zhao walked in angrily, Lin Chonghan subconsciously closed the book and asked, "What, but the people in the house are careless?" ”
"No," Gu Zhao turned around and closed the door, his expression as cold as frost, "The people in the mansion are not lazy. If it weren't for their gossip, I would have been kept in the dark, teased like a clown. ”
Lin Chonghan looked at him and realized that something was wrong.
Gu Zhao's face contained deep anger, he suppressed his anger, and asked his former pillow person: "Five years ago, since you had a sweetheart, why did you marry me?" ”
"He's dead, why don't you go and be buried with him?!"
"Gu Jiaerlang's words are light," Lin Chonghan sat up straight, "My father Yongding Hou came to have me, and my mother gave birth to me and died soon after." You are also the Son of Man, and you know that you cannot ignore your parents as a son and daughter. ”
Gu Zhao took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm his anger: "Since that's the case, then why did you marry me?" Since you have him in your heart, wouldn't it be unfair to me to marry me? ”
"I don't want to marry either, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey." Lin Chonghan looked at him, as if he saw another person through him, "I am two years older than you, and at that time, Your Majesty and the Gu family needed a marriage to reach a consensus. ”
What's more, in that marriage back then, she was originally going to marry Gu Qingzhang, but later he disappeared when he led the army to quell the chaos. In order to consolidate the alliance between the emperor and the Gu family, Lin Chonghan had to marry.
As she spoke, her anger gradually rising: "You said that you were unfair to you, I want to ask you." Miss Yu and you have known each other for ten years, and you and I were only married five years ago. In the past five years, if you are tough, you will marry her a long time ago. ”
Gu Zhao was speechless for a while, and then said forcefully: "I have inquired about this matter with my mother, but she does not agree, and I don't want to contradict her." ”
"Are you unwilling, Gu Zhao?"
"You don't dare."
Lin Chonghan stood up, walked towards him step by step, and asked him sentence by sentence: "Madame is kind-hearted, if you grind a few more times, she will not disagree." ”
"Although I have a sweetheart, I also really regard you as my husband. The past is gone, the present is now, and I only have a little nostalgia for him. ”
"But you, not only did you hide people outside for five years, but you also used me at home as a stand-in. As soon as Miss Lin comes, you will also slap my Yongding Marquis Mansion in the face and make her a flat wife. ”
"Gu Zhao, you count, this pile, piece by piece, to see who is unfair to whom!"
Gu Zhao was forced by her to retreat, and finally could only hold on to the back of the chair on the side in a hurry, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start. It was only at this time that Gu Zhao truly realized the paleness and powerlessness of language.
"You go Gu Zhao," she turned around tiredly, unwilling to look back at him again, "From now on, you and I still don't see each other again." Five years of Qin Se and Ming, I can't have no feelings for you-"
"If you really loved me once, let my impression of you stop at the best time."
