Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

"Who are you and why are you in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion? Are you here to discuss something with father? This is not the way to the study. Sir, you must have taken the wrong path." Yun Miao whispered to the man. She didn't know why the man in front of her always gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"My name is Gu Yanting. I have come to visit the Marquis of Nanchang today. I heard that the garden of the Marquis's mansion is beautiful, so I came here to enjoy it. I didn't want to disturb the second young lady." Gu Yanting's cold eyes were filled with indelible tenderness. He looked at Yun Miao intently and spoke in a gentle voice.

Yun Miao looked at Gu Yanting who was speaking, and when she met his focused gaze, she seemed a little embarrassed, and turned her head away with a slightly red face. Yun Miao turned her head and recalled the man's figure and his exposed eyes in her mind, and she always felt a sense of familiarity, and his voice also made her feel very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Gradually, the man's eyes and the pair of tender eyes deep in his memory slowly overlapped. Could he be the person who helped him that night, Yun Miao wondered secretly in his heart.

To confirm again, Yun Miao quietly turned her head to take another closer look at the man. As a result, she still bumped into the man's eyes the moment she turned her head. Noticing that he had been staring at her, Yun Miao felt a little embarrassed and angry. She glared at Gu Yanting with what she thought was a fierce look, and then turned and left.

Gu Yanting stood there, watching Yun Miao's back as she hurried away, and smiled dotingly.

"General Gu, the back garden of our mansion is worth a visit!" After Yun Miao walked away, the Marquis of Nanchang came forward with Madam Zheng, and Madam Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Marquis and Madam." After that, they exchanged pleasantries for a while before Gu Yanting said goodbye and left.

At night, Madam Zheng was embroidering patterns on her hands, then she looked at the Marquis of Nanchang who was lying on the couch beside her and said softly, "My lord, are you planning to marry the second lady to General Gu?" It was no wonder that Madam Zheng asked this question. From some of the Marquis of Nanchang's behaviors and some of the situations when he inquired about the harem, it could be seen that he originally wanted to send the second lady Yun Miao into the palace. No one knew when he changed his mind and became close to General Gu instead.

But seeing how General Gu came rashly today, and how the Marquis specifically asked him to bring Yun Miao to the garden, it was clear that the two had obviously confirmed it.

Nanchang Marquis, who was half leaning on the couch and squinting his eyes as if thinking about something, heard the words, opened his eyes and glanced at Madam Zheng beside the table, and said in a good mood: "I do have this intention. The position of the Queen in the harem is stable, and she has a prince. In addition, the other high-ranking concubines are all from excellent families. Not to mention whether Yun Miao can enter the palace smoothly, even if she enters the palace, her position will probably not be too high. In addition, her personality is simple, and it is still unclear whether she can adapt to the harem. What if... that is not worth it.

Gu Yanting not only has great military achievements and a high reputation in the army, but also has the most trust from the emperor. In addition, he has taken a fancy to Yun Miao and asked to marry her as the general's wife. If Yun Miao and General Gu get married, it will be a great help to our mansion. And Gu Yanting promised me that he would ask Elder Zhong to teach my son, which is a good thing that countless people want but cannot get. "

"My Lord, what you said is true. We can really ask Mr. Zhong to teach my son." Upon hearing what the Marquis of Nanchang said, Mrs. Zheng immediately asked excitedly.

"This is the promise Gu Yanting made to me personally. How can it be false?" Marquis Nanchang said to Madam Zheng affirmatively.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng looked forward to Gu Yanting and Yun Miao settling down soon, and she became more and more enthusiastic towards Yun Miao in the following days.

Yun Miao also found that she saw Gu Yanting more and more often in her backyard. On this day, Yun Miao saw Gu Yanting waiting in her backyard. He often came to the mansion during this period, and she would run into him in the garden every time.

It is impossible to say that Madam Zheng did not have any hand in this, and my father also agreed. Or it could be said that this matter was promoted by the Marquis of Nanchang.

“Why do I always see you here? Are you…” Yun Miao was too embarrassed to say the rest of the words, so he could only mumble it over.

"Because, I hope to meet the girl of my dreams here." Gu Yanting said this, but his eyes were always fixed on Yun Miao. It was obvious that the protagonist in his words was Yun Miao.

"Did you help me that night?" After thinking it over again and again, Yun Miao still mustered up the courage to ask the question in his heart.

Seeing that Gu Yanting was smiling and did not deny it, Yun Miao was sure that it was indeed him that night.

"You... why did you help me!" After confirming that Gu Yanting was the person that night, Yun Miao became curious again, why did he appear in her yard and help her. He never revealed it to her afterwards, and if she hadn't guessed it, he probably wouldn't have said it.

"Ms. Yun Miao, actually we have met before that, but Miss Yun has never seen my face. It was that time that I fell in love with Miss Yun Miao at first sight and have never forgotten her since then." Gu Yanting stepped forward and said to Yun Miao, with a serious look in his eyes that could not be ignored.

Looking at the man who was expressing his feelings to her seriously, Yun Miao was shy but she suppressed her fear and said seriously: "Although it has been said since ancient times that marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers, I also know that my father wants me to marry you, and I am willing to follow his wishes. But if you only need a mistress to help you manage the backyard, I will take on this responsibility in the future.

However, if you want a wife who is devoted to you and with whom you can grow old together, then you need to treat me sincerely and not let others interfere between us. I know this is a very demanding requirement, so everything is up to you to choose. But don't worry, no matter what you choose, I will naturally fulfill the duties of a mistress of the house. "

In fact, Yun Miao's meaning was very clear. If Gu Yanting only cared about Yun Miao's appearance or family background, they could live a life of respect for each other. But if he wanted to get Yun Miao's wholehearted love, he had to exchange his true heart, and Yun Miao could not tolerate the existence of other women between them.

Although Yun Miao had been confined in the small courtyard, she was well aware of the intrigues and scheming among the women in the backyard of the marquis's mansion, which was no less intense than on the scene, and even more cruel than on the battlefield.

Hearing the meaning of Yun Miao's words, Gu Yanting looked into Yun Miao's eyes and said seriously: "Don't worry, since I met you, I have never thought that there would be other people between us, and my father has only my mother. A lifetime together, this is my only wish since I met you."

Yun Miao could sense the seriousness and caution in Gu Yanting's words. Yun Miao was also willing to believe the man in front of her, believing that he was really willing to treat her sincerely.

In the subsequent interactions, Gu Yanting clearly felt the change in Yun Miao's attitude towards him. She was no longer as reasonable but distant as before. Now she would occasionally show her little girl side in front of him. This change made Gu Yanting feel very happy, and he understood that Yun Miao was gradually opening her heart to him.
