Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Li Shuangwan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. In his black pupils, she was the only one left.

Even though the two have been lovers for a long time, everyone knows that they will get married one day.

He also always calls himself "wife" from time to time.

But Gu Xingyan had never told her so formally to marry him.

She saw his worried and eager eyes.

There was even a hint of fear.

"...Okay." After saying this word, Li Shuangwan's violent heartbeat calmed down. As a smile spread across her face, a blush gradually appeared on her face.

As if using up all his life's strength, Gu Xingyan tightly embraced the girl's soft body and moved his lips close to hers.

He knew that he smelled bad at the moment.

But, I can’t care about that anymore.

Li Shuangwan responded to him and instinctively hugged the man tighter and tighter.

In this life, she will be his wife.

never separate.

……

Li Shuangwan asked Mo Lin to take Gu Xingyan to his brother Li Yuanqiao's yard.

He needed to take a good wash, as he might have not had a proper bath for several days due to the hassle of traveling.

Quarter of an hour later, Gu Xingyan finished his bath and came out changed into a set of fresh clothes.

The waterfall of black hair was still scattered on her back, without being wrung out, and just hung loose like that.

Mo Lin quickly took the handkerchief from the screen and chased after him: "Master, your hair is still wet. Let me twist it for you first."

It's strange. In the past, when the master took a bath, he would wring out his hair and tie it up before going out. He would never allow himself to appear in front of others with such disheveled hair.

What's going on today? This is really beneath the dignity of His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Gu Xingyan glanced at Mo Lin dimly, a look that allowed him to understand for himself.

When Mo Lin received this look, he suddenly felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to his head, and even his hairs stood up.

His hands and feet reacted faster than his brain. He stuffed the handkerchief into Li Shuangwan's hand and ran away: "Princess, I remembered that there is an important thing I haven't done yet. I'll leave it to you."

Li Shuangwan laughed softly and turned to look at the man.

Gu Xingyan looked innocent and spread his hands: "Don't blame me, I didn't say a word, he just let his imagination run wild."

It’s great to have such a lot of imagination.

Li Shuangwan glared at him helplessly, took the handkerchief and wrung out his hair first: "If you want me to wring out your hair for you in the future, just tell me directly. Your Highness the Ninth Prince, why did you have to do this?"

Look how scared the young guard Mo Lin is.

"No way, I am innocent. It's just that Mo Lin overthinks things. He is so young and has done such nonsense. I will punish him later."

Li Shuangwan suddenly turned her head and kissed him on the face.

Gu Xingyan immediately stopped talking: "I was wrong, Madam, it was indeed me who hinted at it."

Li Shuangwan smiled softly and carefully wrung out his hair bit by bit with a handkerchief.

Then she used a comb to slowly smooth out his long black hair.

Gu Xingyan's hair is of excellent quality, like finest silk, like a waterfall, and exuding a faint fragrance.

Combing his hair is also a pleasure for myself.

Gu Xingyan and Li Shuangwan had lunch with Zhu Anhe in Haitang Courtyard.

It only took Gu Xingyan ten days to travel back and forth to Xixiang City, a distance of nearly two thousand miles, and to understand the whole story.

These days, for meals he would just hastily ask someone to bring him a few steamed buns or meat patties, which he would eat while working in the carriage.

I can only sleep for a few hours a day.

When Zhu Anhe saw Gu Xingyan coming back so soon, he was surprised and heartbroken at the same time: "It's only been ten days and you've been fighting back and forth. You must be so tired. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight."

After taking a bath, Gu Xingyan had washed away all the fatigue: "Aunt, I'm not tired, I just miss the food you cooked."

Zhu Anhe smiled and said, "Then eat more. These are made by your aunt herself."

As if no one knows.

As soon as he came back, he rushed to Qinglanyuan.

When she saw this, she quickly went into the kitchen and prepared something delicious for him.

Li Shuangwan looked at the table full of dishes and said indignantly: "Mom, you have never made so many delicious dishes for me."

Zhu Anhe glared at her and said, "You haven't eaten enough, have you and your brother grown up eating the food your mother cooked for you?"

Li Shuangwan chuckled and picked up a few more dishes for Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan was really hungry. He started his journey early in the morning and only ate a hard steamed bun in five or six hours.

He was already starving, but his movements were still steady and the green bamboo chopsticks made crisp sounds when they hit the porcelain bowl.

His throat was clearly moving rapidly, but his hand holding the chopsticks remained steady.

Li Shuangwan saw that he was actually very hungry, but his movements were still so beautiful.

This man showed anxiety only when he saw her just now.

Zhu Anhe naturally saw through it, and quickly served him a bowl of soup: "I have sent someone to notify your uncle and his family, they will be here in a while. Come, have a bowl of soup first."

Li Shuangwan's throat choked. He did all this for her.

When they hugged each other just now, she knew that he had lost a lot of weight.

All three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

Several people had just put down their bowls and chopsticks and were rinsing their mouths.

Li Huaiying and Li Yuanqiao, who learned the news, hurried back from the military camp.

As soon as Li Huaiying came in, he asked directly: "Xingyan, have you found out?"

Zhu Anhe glared at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xingyan hasn't had a good rest these days. Let him get some sleep first. If there's anything, it won't be too late to talk to him after he's had a good rest."

Li Huaiying then noticed that Gu Xingyan's eyes were full of bloodshot. It must have been hard for him to travel two thousand miles back and forth and rush back in such a hurry.

"It's time to have a good rest first. So, go to Yuan Qiao's yard and sleep for a few hours. We can talk about it after you wake up."

Li Yuanqiao also said, "Yes, let's go to sleep first. Fortunately, the bedsheets in my room were replaced with new ones this morning."

Gu Xingyan chuckled and shook his head. How could he not know that they were more anxious than anyone else?

He also knew that as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion, his aunt quickly sent someone to the military camp to inform them.

"I'm not tired. I've figured things out, so I came back early."

Li Shuangwan asked hurriedly: "Then, where are the witnesses? Have you brought them all?"

"Yes, I brought them all back. I came back early this morning, and they will all be here by this time tomorrow."

"After Lin Musen's people arrive in Shengjing, they will be arranged to stay in an inn. Uncle can meet them anytime after they arrive."

Zhu Anhe glanced at the nanny who was serving him.

The nanny understood what was happening and sent all the servants away from the hall. She also went out and stood guard personally, not letting anyone get close.

They were the only ones left in the hall.
