Chapter 155 You Won't Hurt Her
Gu Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then he looked around and heard the people in the carriage say, "No need to look, she's gone."
He frowned, looked away, and jumped into the carriage.
The curtain fell, and Gu Yucheng sat calmly and asked, "Why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Ling go with her?"
He saw with his own eyes Xiao Jingheng and Song Shiwei going down the mountain together. He thought that Xiao Jingheng must have noticed that he was following Song Shiwei, so he was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Jingheng said: "She asked me to tell Master Gu a few words. She said thank you for coming to pay tribute to her mother.
Just don't do these sneaky things behind the scenes, as it will damage your reputation if it gets out."
Gu Yucheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Is this the last sentence what the prince wants to say to me?"
"Qingqing and I are inseparable."
Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly, and called her "Qingqing" with a tenderness and sweetness that expressed their deep love and affection.
Hearing the name Qingqing, Gu Yucheng was stunned at first, then he realized that this was Xiao Jingheng's nickname for Song Shiwei.
My dear young man, I met you at Yin Bridge yesterday. Return home early after being granted a title of nobility, and don't be like an arrow on a string.
Qingqing, what a beautiful name, just like Song Shiwei, bright, tough, intelligent and brave. Unfortunately, she has already found her boy.
Thinking of this, Gu Yucheng wondered what he felt.
He asked, “When did you get together?”
"She and I have known each other for a long time."
Xiao Jingheng said: "Two years ago, I was attacked and fell off a cliff on my way back to Beijing, and it was Qingqing who saved me.
At that time, I was poisoned beyond recognition and unable to speak. It was she who pulled me back from the brink of death.
She took good care of me, and we were inseparable. It was at that time that we fell in love with each other, but she didn't know my identity at the time. "
Gu Yucheng was a little surprised. He asked, "Since you already had feelings for each other at that time, why did she marry Shen Linchuan?"
When Xiao Jingheng mentioned this, his expression darkened. He said, "It's my fault. I almost lost her because of a thoughtless mistake."
Gu Yucheng sneered: "What ability do I think His Royal Highness Prince Ling has? He can't even protect the woman he loves."
Song Shiwei suffered so much injustice in the Shen family, and went through so many hardships before she escaped from this swamp, and all of this was blamed on Xiao Jingheng.
He thought they fell in love when they were in the capital, but it turned out that they had known each other for a long time and liked each other.
But Xiao Jingheng actually let the woman he loved marry someone else. Isn't this useless?
Xiao Jingheng's eyebrows sank, staring at Gu Yucheng's cold voice and said, "I wonder what identity Master Gu has to accuse me?"
This sentence made Gu Yucheng's face turn cold as ice. Indeed, he had no right to blame Xiao Jingheng.
To Song Shiwei, he might not even be a friend.
He said, "So, what is the purpose of your coming to see me, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Jingheng said in a deep voice: "I just want to tell you that Qingqing and I are deeply in love and have already recognized each other. I hope that Master Gu can bless us."
He didn't say anything too harsh. His euphemism was just to express it in the hope that he would give up when faced with difficulties.
After all, he didn't want to have more enemies.
"Ah."
Gu Yucheng found it funny: "What do you do to me? Why should I bless you?
Why, Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will snatch your beloved away from you?"
Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “I know you won’t hurt her.”
Gu Yucheng's face became even colder when he heard this. He turned his head and said, "If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, please go back."
Xiao Jingheng said, "You want me to walk back in this desolate mountain? I'll trouble Master Gu to take me back."
Gu Yucheng: "..."
Why didn’t I realize before that this person is so shameless?
He didn't want to look at Jamel Xiao's annoying face, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap.
There was no conversation along the way until the carriage returned to the capital.
Xiao Jingheng thanked him, then opened the curtain and got out of the car.
Gu Yucheng opened his eyes only after he left. He had never expected that Xiao Jingheng would come to him so frankly.
It's funny that my thoughts were exposed before I even said them out loud.
In fact, Xiao Jingheng's worries were unnecessary. Ever since he learned that Song Shiwei liked Xiao Jingheng, he had no intention of taking her away from him.
Because he knew very well that a forced relationship would not bring happiness. Even if they were together, there would only be resentment.
His father and Sun are the best examples!
It was already dark when they returned to the mansion. As soon as Gu Yucheng entered the mansion, Gu Tinglan ran over.
She asked anxiously with a panicked look on her face: "Brother, where have you been?
Go and have a look! My parents are arguing. They are arguing so fiercely that they even kicked me out."
Gu Yucheng frowned and said, "Go back to your yard first. I'll go over and take a look."
He turned and strode towards the study.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Sun's voice: "If you hadn't been useless, how could my father and brother have died on the battlefield?
Don't forget how you got the title of Marquis?
Now the Crown Prince's position is in jeopardy, and you don't think about how to help him, but stay in the study all day fiddling with your calligraphy and paintings. Why did I marry such a useless man like you?"
Song Shiwei sued Cheng Enbo and implicated Cheng Enbo in bribing officials in the court.
His Majesty was furious and all the officials involved have been sent to prison.
Those were the prince's confidants, who were supported by so many people with great difficulty, but now they are all gone.
Although His Majesty has not issued an order to depose the Crown Prince, it is only a matter of time before the Crown Prince is deposed given the current situation.
Seeing that all their hopes were about to be destroyed, how could Sun sit still?
But Gu Ming'an didn't care about this matter at all. Compared with the position of crown prince, he clearly cared more about the calligraphy and paintings in his room.
"Madam, if you regret it, you can divorce me. If you really don't want to, you can give me a letter of divorce. I have no objection."
There was no emotion in Gu Mingan's voice.
Sun was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Gu Mingan and became so angry that she rushed over and started to tear up the calligraphy and paintings in the room.
"You want a divorce? You're just dreaming. Don't you like these things? I'll burn them all for you."
Seeing this, Gu Mingan hurried to stop her. He held her arm and angrily said, "Have you had enough of this?"
Sun was shocked: "How dare you yell at me?"
She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Gu Mingan on the face and cursed: "Who the hell do you dare to yell at me?
Don't forget that everything you have today is given by me!"
The crisp sound of slaps echoed throughout the study.
Gu Yucheng's face turned cold when he heard the noise. He walked over quickly and pushed the door open, saying, "Mother, calm down. I have a way to resolve the prince's current crisis."
Sun looked at Gu Yucheng who came in, her expression slightly relieved, and she asked, "What do you have in mind?"
