Chapter 98
Just as Gu Nianchu was about to step forward to greet him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up and said, "No need to be polite, cousin. We are all family. Please take a seat."
He let Xie Xilan help Gu Nianchu up and let her sit down next to Xie Xilan.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi had a cold face throughout the whole time, as if someone had borrowed his rice and not even returned the chaff.
The Crown Prince was somewhat speechless: "Third brother, don't you have something to say to my cousin? My cousin is here, why are you silent?"
Only then did Gu Nianchu realize that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi who wanted to see her about something.
Gu Nianchu looked up at Zhou Yuchen and asked, "What do you want, Your Highness Prince Qi?"
When His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi heard her being so distant, his face suddenly darkened.
"Nian Chu, aren't we friends?"
Gu Nianchu rolled her eyes, but Xie Jinghong at the side spoke up, "Your Highness Prince Qi, even if you and my cousin are friends, I still have to respect you."
Zhou Yuchen glared at Xie Jinghong: "Doesn't she have a mouth? You want me to say it."
At this moment, Zhou Yuchen was like a nitpicker, and Xie Jinghong was so scared that he shrank his head like a quail.
Gu Nianchu was a little amused: "Your Highness Prince Qi, it's Nianchu's fault. What did you want to tell me today by calling me out? Please tell me."
Zhou Yuchen's expression looked better then: "I've heard about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion. People are saying that it was you who kicked Shen Ling?"
Gu Nianchu found it a little funny. What do they mean people outside are talking about it? It was obviously Han Chan and the others who went back to report it.
"Yeah, I kicked it."
Gu Nianchu agreed immediately. It was indeed her who kicked Shen Ling, and her kick was steady, accurate and ruthless. She also asked her eldest brother to spread the news and not let the imperial physician see Shen Ling.
Zhou Yuchen's face suddenly blossomed like a flower, with smiles all over his face.
"Why did you do it yourself? Weren't there a few people given to you? What do they eat?"
Gu Nianchu chuckled: "Oh, I think it's more comfortable to do it myself."
As long as she's happy.
"Okay, tell me who you want to beat up next time, and I'll do it."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xie Jinghong looked at each other. Is this something they can listen to?
"Well, Third Brother, Cousin, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and need to go back to the Xie family. You guys eat here first, and we'll go back first."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took Xie Jinghong and Xie Xilan away directly.
Zhou Yuchen and Gu Nianchu were the only ones left in the huge private room.
Zhou Yuchen saw Gu Nianchu getting nervous, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Nianchu, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you."
Even if he wanted to eat her, that would have to happen after he brought her home in a sedan chair with a grand ceremony and a wedding gown.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid of bringing trouble to your reputation."
Gu Nianchu replied stubbornly, and Zhou Yuchen stared into Gu Nianchu's eyes: "It's my pleasure."
As long as he can be tied to the girl he loves, he is willing to do so even if it means they both have a bad reputation.
Gu Nianchu always felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was a bit of a rogue.
"Nian Chu, didn't you say you would divorce Shen Ling as soon as possible? Now that the Marquis' Mansion has become like this, when will you divorce? I can't wait any longer."
Zhou Yuchen felt very aggrieved when he said this: "I wish I could just burn down the mansion and take you back home."
Gu Nianchu smiled: "Your Highness Prince Qi, please don't do anything rash. I have been planning for such a long time. If you destroy it, I will be very angry. If I am angry, the consequences will be very serious."
Zhou Yuchen said coquettishly: "Then you coax me, and I won't mess around." Gu Nianchu sighed: "Your Highness, you are not a child anymore. I am the wife of the Shen family now. If I coax you, I will be thrown into the pig cage."
Zhou Yuchen exuded a cold and fierce aura: "Let's see who dares!"
Forget it, for the sake of his beloved girl, he endured it.
"Nianchu, what are you going to do? Please tell me at least! Let me have some confidence. Otherwise, I really can't bear this torture every day."
Zhou Yuchen turned into a little puppy in an instant.
Gu Nianchu whispered to Zhou Yuchen, and Zhou Yuchen nodded: "Nianchu, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely not let them succeed."
The shopkeeper brought people to deliver the dishes, and when he saw that there were only two people in the room, he didn't say anything. He just asked them to enjoy their meal and no one could come up from the second floor.
"Is this your highness's place?"
Gu Nianchu asked casually, and Zhou Yuchen nodded: "Well, it will be yours in the future."
Everything that belongs to him belongs to Gu Nianchu.
Gu Nianchu didn't argue with him about this topic. The two of them ate and talked at the same time, without any idea of not talking while eating.
After Zhou Yuchen finished his meal, he felt much softer.
"Nianchu, don't worry. I have people keeping an eye on the King of Wei and the King of Wu. They dare not move. Even if they want to help the Marquis' Mansion, they can't move."
Zhou Yuchen made a serious promise to Gu Nianchu, who nodded, "Well, there's still one day before Wang Taifu goes to file a complaint with the emperor. By then, the Marquis's Mansion will probably have to go bankrupt to pay the compensation."
"Will it have any effect on you? I'll send someone to protect you."
Zhou Yuchen wanted to protect Gu Nianchu himself, but Gu Nianchu shook her head: "No, I already have enough people around me. Besides, Master Wang has discussed this with my elder brother beforehand, so he won't do anything to me. He's a smart man."
Tutor Wang originally didn't want to marry Shen Jiao, who had plotted against him. Now that he could cancel the engagement and severely embarrass the Shen family, thus regaining his lost face, he was already very satisfied.
Besides, the Grand Tutor is on the Prince's side, so he naturally knows who to offend and who not to offend.
Gu Nianchu couldn't understand why Shen Ling and Xu Yan were so weak in this life.
How come in her previous life, she was so miserable that her family was destroyed by two people like this?
At night, Gu Nianchu had a dream.
She dreamed of some things from her previous life, and how she pushed the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to the top of Kyoto City.
All of the Gu family's military achievements were exchanged for benefits for Shen Ling. He was promoted to the second-rank official at a young age, which was higher than his elder brother Gu Nianping. The Shen family also had a good reputation, and the connections of the Gu family and the Xie family all became Shen Ling's connections.
After waking up, Gu Nianchu was drenched in cold sweat.
It turned out that she handed them the knife herself.
In this life, the reason why Shen Ling and Xu Yan are so weak is simply because they lack the nourishment of Gu Nianchu's heart blood, so they are weak.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Chunlan was on guard duty and was surprised to see Gu Nianchu sitting up. She quickly lit a candle and went forward to check.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare and woke up from it."
Chunlan comforted Gu Nianchu and asked the little girl to bring hot water and wiped her with a towel, then changed her into dry underwear: "Miss, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer, don't you have to watch a good show tomorrow?"
Yes, tomorrow is the final deadline given by Master Wang.
There will be something fun to watch then.
