Chapter 72 The Lady's Heart is as Hard as a Stone
Before Gu Nianchu got married, Zhou Yuchen gave her hairpins every year. They were all made by him. He knew what kind of hairpins Gu Nianchu liked.

To be exact, no matter what he gave her, Gu Nianchu liked it.

When Gu Nianchu heard Zhou Yuchen's words, her expression changed slightly. She wanted to take off the hairpin on her head, but looking at Zhou Yuchen's face full of joy, she didn't do it after all.

Given her current status, it is really not suitable for her to accept Zhou Yuchen's hairpin.

She just forgot.

"Your Highness, I forgot."

Gu Nianchu's voice was very low, and Zhou Yuchen understood the meaning of her words: "Nianchu, in my heart, you will always be the girl who deserves me to give you a hairpin."

Gu Nianchu didn't say anything, Zhou Yuchen's voice rang out: "At the beginning, you said you liked Shen Ling and wanted to marry him, but I didn't believe it. The reason you told me that was just because you were afraid that the emperor would do something to me, right?"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Zhou Yuchen's face: "Nianchu, how could I not know your feelings? At the beginning, my father was afraid of General Gu, so the daughter of your Gu family naturally could not be with the prince, not even the crown prince, let alone me? If you were with me, my father would not be able to sleep at night."

But at that time, he couldn't understand why the girl he loved so much changed her mind and married someone else overnight.

When he went to ask his father to revoke his order, his father locked him up.

When Gu Nianchu was getting married, he escaped with great difficulty. He wanted to steal the bride away, but when he entered the bridal chamber and saw the girl he had been thinking about day and night, he fainted.

When he waited to wake up, he found himself in the army hundreds of miles away.

His father ordered him to go to the northern border to guard the border. The Beirong people invaded slightly, and the people of the northern border of the Great Zhou were humiliated and urgently needed his rescue.

Zhou Yuchen had been gone for five years. During these five years, he had received news from time to time that the eldest daughter of the Gu family and Master Shen were in perfect harmony and had a very good relationship.

It took Zhou Yuchen five years to accept that there would no longer be that bright and flamboyant girl in his life.

However, when he came back, he found that the girl he loved the most was not living well at all.

He wanted to help her, but this girl was too strong-willed and wanted to do things her own way.

"Your Highness, let the past be the past."

Gu Nianchu's face was clear: "The emperor would not let you marry the general's daughter before, and he will not do that now."

Zhou Yuchen's eyes were full of determination: "Nian Chu, these are things I should consider, you don't have to worry about them, you just need to take a small step towards me, and let me take the remaining ninety-nine steps."

Zhou Yuchen looked at Gu Nianchu, who shook her head: "Your Highness, don't be stubborn. My father will be back in Beijing in two months to report on his work. I haven't seen my father for five years, and I miss him very much."

Zhou Yuchen was silent. He drank the herbal tea in the cup silently: "Nianchu, I understand. I'm leaving."

Zhou Yuchen stood up and left, his back looking lonely.

Han Chan stared at Gu Nianchu with some resentment: "Miss, your heart is as hard as the table in the yard."

There is a stone table in the yard, which is made of a whole piece of stone.

Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "Han Chan, silly girl, do you know what kind of disturbance will be caused in the Great Zhou Dynasty if I accept His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?"

Higurashi pouted: "Isn't there His Highness? His Highness will handle these matters."

Gu Nianchu didn't know how to explain the twists and turns to Han Chan. Han Chan felt that it was not a problem. She could just do whatever she encountered.

If you can't do it, find help.

Nanny Tian came to help Gu Nianchu out at the right time: "Han Chan, go and have a rest. I will talk to the young lady."

Han Chan nodded: "Madame Tian, ​​please persuade the young lady. His Highness is such a good person, a thousand times better than this prince."

Nanny Tian smiled and said ok, and Han Chan went to rest. Nanny Tian walked over to sit next to Gu Nianchu, and she reached out and held Gu Nianchu's hand: "Miss, if you want to get out of this fire pit of the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, you should make plans early."

Gu Nianchu nodded: "Mammy, I know everything. I will not accompany them to perish together. They don't deserve it."

Gu Nianchu then instructed Nanny Tian to reward the servants of Haitang Garden with silver, buy them new clothes, and send fish and meat to Haitang Garden every day.

Well, there is nothing to eat in the big kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion now. Begonia Garden now has two kitchens, a small kitchen dedicated to preparing Gu Nianchu's meals, and a large kitchen dedicated to preparing food for the servants. They eat very well and have meat every day. According to them, they all live the life of the stupid sons of a landlord.

The servants in other courtyards are now envious, and they all want to enter Haitang Garden. Unfortunately, Haitang Garden does not accept servants of unknown origin.

Even the spies that Old Madam Shen had originally arranged in Haitang Garden had long been sent away by Gu Nianchu.

Today, Begonia Garden is like an iron barrel.

Old Madam Shen and Lord Shen are very anxious now. They urge Shen Ling to please Gu Nianchu.

Shen Ling was annoyed by the urging and had no idea what to do, so he just went out.

On the first day, he was just drinking and having fun in the tavern.

When he got to the back, there was no one to play with him, and he couldn't help himself.

In Haitang Garden, Han Chan told Gu Nianchu that Shen Ling went to see Xu Yan.

"Tsk tsk, you can't help it even after these few days, this is really true love."

If it is true love, then lock it up.

Don't let Xu Yan run away.

Gu Nianchu sent the news to the Song Mansion.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, Song Tixing sent someone to inform the Marquis' Mansion that their people had found where Xu Yan was hiding, and asked whether the Marquis' Mansion wanted to send her back.

When Old Madam Shen and Lord Shen received the news, Gu Nianchu had already followed them.

The frightened couple hurriedly sent someone to look for Shen Ling, but Shen Ling was not in Lingyun Pavilion.

"My Lord, quickly send someone to stop Gu!"

Old Madam Shen was getting anxious. Lord Shen slapped the tea table hard and said, "Stop her? How can I stop her? How can my people stop those girls under her?"

Having said that, he still chased after him.

The courtyard where Xu Yan lived was just two streets away from the marquis's mansion, which was a very busy street. It really lived up to the saying that great people hide in the city.

Song Tixing personally brought his men to wait at the gate of the yard. When he saw Gu Nianchu coming, Song Tixing went to greet him.

Gu Nianchu bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Song."

"Miss Gu, there is no need to be so polite. My people watched him go in and he hasn't come out yet. Miss Gu, you think it's time now..."

Song Tixing asked Gu Nianchu for his opinion, and Gu Nianchu shook his head: "Not busy, of course I have to ask Lord Shen to come and see it in person."

Han Chan had just reported to her that Lord Shen was following behind them.

After he finished speaking, Lord Shen and his men hurried over, and bowed to Song Tixing and said, "Sir Song, since this is my family's business, I won't bother you."
