Chapter 60

Su Yun pretended to be calm while eating the cakes, but her mind was still in a mess.

When Su Yun heard Gu Shixing say that he was revising the accusations she had made to him before, and thought about the passionate kiss that was different from the bland one in her previous life, she felt her scalp tingling vaguely.

An inexplicable sense of crisis gradually spread in her heart, but Su Yun couldn't tell what this sense of crisis was. She just felt that Gu Shixing was in some danger now.

My thoughts were slightly scattered, and after a long while, I came to my senses and realized that the person next to me had been looking at me.

There was a person next to me staring at me while I was eating, so I couldn't swallow any of the cakes no matter how delicious they were.

When eating the second piece of cake, Su Yun couldn't help but put down the bamboo chopsticks, turned to face him, and said unhappily: "Don't keep watching me eat, eat too."

Gu Shixing did not avoid her gaze, staring at her intently, with a faint smile in his eyes. He said, "Only a pair of bamboo chopsticks."

Su Yun turned her gaze back to the bamboo chopsticks in her hand. A pair of bamboo chopsticks was indeed inconvenient, so she simply gave up eating and said, "Then I'll take it back home and eat it later."

As he said this, he stood up and began to clear the pastries on the table.

Gu Shixing did not stop her, but enjoyed the only time in their life that the two of them spent time together openly.

"If you need anything else, ask Chu Yi to find Mo Tai to prepare it."

Su Yun closed the lid of the lunch box, then sat back in her original position, shook her head and said, "I don't need anything."

"If you don't need anything, I'll just have someone deliver it to you."

Su Yun did not continue to refuse. After a while, Su Yun turned his head and looked at him, and asked, "A few days ago, when the accident happened, I heard that the eldest prince's concubine's brother was beaten up. It was said that you had someone beat him up. What happened?"

Su Yun didn't know about the relationship between Chen Minglang and Liang Yong, so he didn't quite understand why the rumor spread that Gu Shixing had sent someone to beat him up.

When Gu Shixing heard the name, the faint smile in his eyes disappeared, and he said to her, "During the time Liang Yong was in Jindu City, the person he had close contact with was Chen Minglang."

Su Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

The mastermind who framed her was the eldest prince, and Chen Minglang was the eldest prince's brother-in-law. Now Gu Shixing said that Chen Minglang and Liang Yong were too close, which meant -

"You mean to say that Liang Yong wanted me to be his concubine this time and sent people to intercept me. Was it planned by the eldest prince?"

Seeing Gu Shixing nod, she asked again in surprise: "But what is the purpose of the eldest prince doing this?"

Su Yun showed surprise.

The previous attempt to frame Gu Shixing could be said to be because she didn't want the Marquisate to continue to grow through marriage, but now the target is on her side. Why is that?

Just then, peach petals fell on Su Yun's hair. Gu Shixing stretched out his hand, and Su Yun subconsciously leaned back slightly.

Gu Shixing's eyes fell on her face, with a faint smile: "Are you afraid of me?"

Su Yun thought of Meng Lang just now and glared at him again: "Let's talk about business."

"There are fallen flowers in the bun."

Su Yun raised her hand and touched her hair bun, fumbled around for a while, but still couldn't find it.

Gu Shixing stood up slightly and took the fallen flowers from her hair. As soon as he loosened his hands, the fallen flowers floated down with the spring breeze.

Then he sat down, glanced at her hair, and then looked away, explaining, "Maybe, you want to force me to help you, or force me to marry you."

Gu Shixing thought to himself that the eldest prince probably didn't know that he wanted to marry her, but she didn't want to.

Gu Shixing looked at Su Yun's puzzled eyes, and then said: "In my previous life, I was in the court for several years, and he targeted me in everything."

Su Yun thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is it because you are the prince's cousin?"

Gu Shixing shook his head: "Half of it is because of this reason, and the other half is probably because he already has resentment towards me."

"Why?"

Gu Shixing considered it for a while, but finally did not say it out loud. Instead, he said to her, "Perhaps you will understand better if you ask Changqing."

Su Yun was puzzled, but did not ask any further.

Instead, he asked, "So it was you who really had Chen Minglang beaten?"

Gu Shixing nodded and did not deny it.

Seeing Gu Shixing admit it, he once again overturned Su Yun's perception of her. After a long while, she stammered, "In your previous life, you were not like this..."

He was still the same as in his previous life, dressed in a white robe, cool and elegant, handsome and handsome.

In her eyes, Gu Shixing in his previous life was a cold and indifferent person who didn't care about anything. His emotions were always indifferent, neither happy nor angry.

This is the kind of person who could have imagined that he was holding a crossbow and charging at the thieves with such force not long ago?

Who could have thought that such a righteous person in the eyes of outsiders would send people to beat someone up in secret?

The key point is that he is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who is praised by everyone, but he is breaking the law knowingly.

Su Yun discovered that in the four years of her previous life, not only did he not understand her, she also did not understand him at all.

After a long while, Su Yun finally sighed and said, "If I hadn't come back, we would have been indifferent to each other for the rest of our lives, and my little wife would have been confused and didn't recognize anyone, and would have been a concubine of the Su family until her death."

As he spoke, his face showed a bit of melancholy. He lowered his head and said leisurely, "Sir, do you think we can live together in this life?"

Gu Shixing was stunned for a moment, and then he heard her say, "Ever since I regained my freedom and my bad reputation was cleared, every night before I go to sleep, I am afraid that when I wake up, everything will be back to square one, and everything before was just a dream."

If something didn't come back, she could be strong and continue to live the rest of her life in the Marquis' Mansion. But now that beauty has been given to her, if it is taken back ruthlessly, there is no doubt that she will collapse at that moment.

Gu Shixing was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand, lifted her chin with his long fingers, and smiled at her: "Since this god and Buddha can let us come back to save the relationship at this time, it means that they are not so ruthless, so don't worry too much."

Su Yun raised her hand and gently pushed his hand away, but he held it back.

Su Yun was originally quite sad, but he made her feel uncomfortable: "Don't always do this, I'm not used to it."

I'm not used to him being so close all of a sudden.

A gust of wind blew, carrying with it the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"You'll get used to it slowly, and you'll get used to it after you get married." He said, holding four of her fingers in his palm.

Su Yun nodded slightly, then quietly pulled her hand back and said softly, "It's almost time, let's go back."

As he spoke, he stood up, and Gu Shixing also stood up and picked up the lunch box.

The two returned along the same route and saw Mo Tai and Chu Yi from afar. Gu Shixing suddenly spoke up, "After we got engaged, I was also worried that if I woke up, I would be the only one who remembered these things, but you would not have this memory. What should I do?"

Su Yun glanced at him and asked, "What have you decided to do, Prince?"

Gu Shixing smiled faintly: "Probably a persistent one."

Su Yun recalled how he had surrounded her several times during this period of time.

If he had treated himself like this in his previous life, he would definitely be rejected again, and the rejection would be even harsher than in this life.

Thinking of this, Su Yun pursed her lips and chuckled.

Gu Shixing glanced at Su Yun's smiling face. Against the backdrop of the peach blossoms, her face was as beautiful as peach blossoms, delicate and charming.

My heartstrings trembled and I couldn't take my eyes away.

Then they reunited with Mo Tai and the others, and the four of them, master and servants, returned to the pavilion in front together.

Gu Shixing first sent Su Yun to the carriage, and then went to talk to Su Changqing.

Su Changqing glanced at Gu Shixing and said jokingly, "It really is a joyous occasion."

Gu Shixing raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Su Changqing sneered: "Press down the corner of your mouth, it's too obvious."

Gu Shixing was in a good mood. His eyes and brows were less cold than usual and more warm. Even the corners of his lips had a slight curve.

Hearing this, Gu Shixing smoothed his lips and returned to his usual cold expression.

Su Changqing teased, "You and my sixth sister are really interesting. You want to meet each other and you need me to be the middleman. I think I can resign from my position in the Honglu Temple and become a matchmaker instead."

Gu Shixing bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, brother."

Su Changqing was about to nod when he heard the word "thank you", but suddenly he reacted and spat, "Where's your face? You're not even married yet, and you're already calling me brother? How shameless."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I am more than half a year younger than you. I feel quite comfortable when you call me brother."

How could Su Changqing know that it was more than half a year older. In terms of real psychological age, Gu Shixing was five years older than him.

Seeing him smile, Gu Shixing didn't say much, just said: "I asked Mo Tai to prepare an extra cake for Sister-in-law Ayun."

Su Changqing heard this and said with a smile: "You still have a conscience, it's worth my acting as a matchmaker for you."

The two exchanged a few words and then said goodbye to each other.

Gu Shixing watched the carriage leave, and even when the carriage was submerged in the peach forest, he did not look away.

Marriage must be settled early to give people peace of mind.

*

Su Qin also got engaged, and the other party was the Jinshi who came that day.

He is not handsome, but he is well-proportioned.

Among the husbands and future husbands of the five sisters, Su Qin's future husband is quite ordinary in appearance.

But Su Qin said, "I don't choose my husband based on his appearance, I choose him based on whether he is compatible with me."

No matter what, Su Qin's marriage is settled.

As soon as Su Qin's marriage was confirmed, someone from the Marquis' Mansion came to discuss Su Yun's wedding date. It seemed that they couldn't wait to marry the girl from the Su family, and people talked about it for a long time.

Because the Marquis's Mansion was in a hurry, when they matched the horoscopes, they chose a date that was close to the present.

Also, because the elder sister Su Qin got married first, followed by Su Yun, the recent days were also in August.

In the end, the two sisters' wedding dates were only half a month apart, both in August.

It is April now, and there are still four months until August. The time is not too long and not too rushed, so there is plenty of time to prepare the dowry and wedding dress.

June was the day when Su Yuyan got married, which meant that the Su family married off three daughters at the same time that year.

Su Yuyan got married and Su Wen also came back.

It has been seven or eight months since she last came back. She heard in Jinzhou that Su Yun was engaged to the Marquis's family.

After hearing this, I was so jealous that I couldn't sleep or eat well. Not only did I feel sour in my heart, but also in my intestines.

But he also knew that if he continued to target her, he would definitely suffer in the future, so he could only put aside all the grudges. After entering Su Yuyan's yard, he smiled and walked up to Su Yun as soon as he saw her: "Sixth sister, it's only been seven months since we last met, how come your face is getting more and more beautiful?"

Hearing her words, Su Yun's smile froze slightly, but Su Qin at the side was like seeing a ghost. She was no longer respectful as before, but instead spoke with sarcasm: "Second sister, you have a really bad memory. We parted unhappily seven months ago, but now we are smiling again. Did you learn this skill of changing your face from Miss Liu?"

Su Wen's smile froze slightly, but she managed to maintain it and did not argue with Su Qin on the spot.

"Look at what Fifth Sister said. We are all sisters. Even if we had a quarrel yesterday, we can naturally make peace the next day." After saying that, she looked at Su Yun and asked with a smile, "Sixth Sister, don't you agree?"
