Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 231 Jealous

The person sent by Gu Yanchao to deliver the letter was none other than the servants of the Gu family.

That servant was wearing a brand-new turquoise narrow jacket, with a decent smile on his face, he looked smart and clever at first glance, and what was even more noticeable was that he did not come alone, behind him, there were actually several people following him. The servants, and each of them is holding or carrying a small wooden box in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yanxi also became curious. Could it be that the elder brother was worried that she would be short of things here, and asked someone to send the usual things?
When the servant came in front of Gu Yanxi, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "The servant is the servant who serves in the second son's study, and was ordered by the son to deliver letters to the third girl."

As he said that, the servant pointed to the other servants who followed behind him, and said: "These gifts are all from Mr. Shi. He said that he knew that the girl was ill and was resting in the villa. I was bored in the Zhuangzi alone, so I sent some amusing things for the girl to pass the time when she is free."

Mr. Shi?
Is it my cousin?
When Gu Yanxi thought of Shi Haoyuan, joy appeared on his face all at once. He didn't even have time to take the letter in the hand of the servant, so he walked quickly to the boxes of gifts, opened a box at random, and looked at it. After knowing what's inside, I'm more sure of my guess.

"Feng Yichen, come and take a look, this is really a gift from my cousin, only Tongcheng can have these things."

Sitting in a wheelchair, Feng Yichen could clearly see the joy in the corners of Gu Yanxi's brows and eyes.

Hearing her say cousin, she immediately knew who she was talking about, Tongcheng Shifu, who could be called cousin by her so happily, except Shi Haoyuan.

It's just that he didn't expect that she was so happy about Shi Haoyuan's arrival, she just showed such joy when she saw the gift, if she saw someone, would it be okay?
Thinking of this, Feng Yichen couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive; back then, he also gave her a gift, and she named the bird Gemstone, but she didn't expect Gemstone to stay by her side for about two months. He was quickly thrown aside by her, and was immediately attracted by the gift from Shi Haoyuan.

Although Feng Yichen had known for a long time that this girl's mind was fickle, he did not expect that the little girl's mind was not only fickle but also very difficult to guess. Usually she always looked clever, but when it came to the critical moment, she was so It is easy to be bought by others.

Feng Yichen's face was a little ugly, but he always had such a deserted look, so ordinary people can't notice anything, only those who often stay by his side can see it. He is not happy at this moment.

If it was the old Gu Yanxi, he would definitely have noticed his strangeness, but now, Gu Yanxi is so immersed in the good news that his cousin has finally arrived in the capital that he naturally forgot to pay attention to him.

Gu Yanxi was as happy as a child, opening almost every wooden box to look.

Seeing that it was full of children's favorite toys and girls' favorite balms and powders, Gu Yanxi couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

He casually took out a fairly delicate box from the box, opened it, and found that it was a box of very fine pearls, and brought it to Feng Yichen like a treasure, sharing the joy in his heart at the moment.

"These pearls must have been found by my cousin in the sea."

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi smiled and explained to Feng Yichen: "You often walk outside, you should also know that Tongcheng is near the sea, my cousin was born in Tongcheng since he was a child, and he was born and raised there. Like other teenagers in Tongcheng, what I like most is going to the sea to fish for pearls. I still remember when I was young, my cousin was brought back from Tongcheng by his aunt to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday. He gave me such a box of pearls, saying yes He touched it with his own hands; I didn't believe it at the time, I thought he was bragging, and we had a quarrel with him. He was anxious at that time, grabbed my hand and came to the lake in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, and stabbed it in a sudden. I went in and didn’t come up for a long time; I was terrified by him, sat on the ground and kept crying, shouting his name loudly, saying that I believed him and told him to come up quickly, I don’t know how long I cried before I saw a string of bubbles floating on the surface of the lake, and then I saw him protruding from the lake with his head full of water, baring his teeth and smiling proudly at me."

When talking about her childhood, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but smile on her face, but before the smile reached her eyes, the sudden flash of pain on her face made her tremble slightly.

It is precisely because Shi Haoyuan is proficient in water, that in her previous life, when she heard that he fell into the moat and drowned, she would find it so ridiculous; those who wanted to put her to death never because of her She was weak and compassionate, and even killed her closest relatives one by one.

Therefore, after her rebirth, she will hunt down those people with ulterior motives and will never tolerate them, because she is well aware of the bad nature of these people, if she indulges and is kind to them, it is cruel to herself.

Feng Yichen noticed the change in Gu Yanxi's mood, seeing her staring at the box of pearls in her hand without blinking, thinking that she was really attracted by this box of ordinary pearls, but the pain in her eyes at this moment It also seemed to be telling him that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Feng Yichen gently pulled Gu Yanxi's hand, and watched her suddenly raise her head to look at him, and sure enough, she saw a sorrowful and unignorable ruthlessness in her eyes; this kind of look, he has seen her many times I noticed it in her eyes, and I have never understood why she, a reclusive lady of the family, has such emotions that do not match her identity.

What else does he not know about her, to be exact, what secrets does she have that she refuses to tell him?
But right now Feng Yichen doesn't want to chase after her to ask, he will let himself wait patiently, until one day, she completely trusts him and takes the initiative to confess everything to him.

Gu Yanxi watched Feng Yichen pull his hand, and then realized that his emotions were out of control. He hurriedly pulled a concealed smile on the corner of his mouth, handed the pearl in his hand to Feng Yichen's arms, and then turned around and walked from the person who came to deliver the letter The servant took the letter from the eldest brother.

Then, I asked the housekeeper in the village to take these people down for a temporary settlement, and let them send their letters back after she finished writing the letter tomorrow.

Gu Yanxi opened the elder brother's letter and read it carefully, the gloomy emotions in his heart were finally a lot happier because of the content in his heart.

"The letter said that my aunt and cousin have come to Gu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. My mother and father have been chanting my name all day long, and they miss me very much; and in the mansion, apart from me, no other suspicious patients have been found. It won't be long before the Gu family's restriction should be lifted."

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi looked at Feng Yichen happily again, and continued: "These days I have been worrying whether other people in the mansion will be infected by me, or the eldest brother understands my heart and knows that I am worried about this, I took the initiative to write a letter to inform. It seems that my second uncle has not reached the point of madness at this time."

Feng Yichen had known for a long time that Gu Yanxi had begun to suspect Gu Shen, but judging from her current tone, it seemed that Gu Shen had already been convicted.

It seems that he should find an opportunity to tell her the truth, lest she continue to be deceived by Gu Yanling.

It's just that the current affairs of the Gu family are not enough for him to really care about. What really makes him more concerned at the moment is the appearance of this man named Shi Haoyuan.

Feng Yichen looked at Gu Yanxi's soft eyebrows, and thought of her innocent bird-like demeanor just now because of Shi Haoyuan, he couldn't control the sour feeling in his heart all the time.

He said to Gu Yanxi in a cool voice, "Seeing that you like the gift from your cousin so much, I think the relationship between the two of you should be very good; but as far as I know, your cousin's family seldom returns to Beijing, so you should be very happy." How can you have such a good relationship with him when you rarely get in touch with him? Could it be that he was really bought by this box of pearls?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi showed obvious disdain: "This is just a box of average-quality pearls. If you want pearls as big as longan, I can give you a box."

"Of course I know that you have good things, but what I care about is my heart, not because I really like these round things. Although my cousin is good at watermelon, but if you want to get so many pearls, you need to go back and forth. It is very difficult to find clam shells in the sea, especially slightly larger pearls; my cousin was able to find these for me, so it can be seen that it really took a lot of effort. I..."

Gu Yanxi was eloquent and didn't feel like explaining, but suddenly seeing Feng Yichen's cold side face, she immediately came back to her senses, reached out and knocked her head. She is an idiot, why did she only react now.

Feng Yichen didn't mind this box of pearls, he was clearly minding his cousin who suddenly returned to Beijing.It's just that he couldn't show her excitement, so he could only use this box of pearls as an example.

This kind of Feng Yichen was really new to Gu Yanxi, she really didn't expect that one day she would make him jealous?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi's mood was unprecedentedly good, and immediately squatted at Feng Yichen's feet, as if he had found some interesting toy, blinked a pair of talking eyes, looked straight at him, and asked: "Feng Yichen, are you jealous?"

Jealous?

Feng Yichen saw that his small thoughts were torn apart like this, he immediately looked a little embarrassed, turned his head away from looking at Gu Yanxi, and said stubbornly: "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about, I don't know why! I'm leaving first, you are here Have fun with this mess your cousin sent you."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yichen pushed away Gu Yanxi's hand, and turned the wheelchair by himself to go back to his yard along the path.

Gu Yanxi looked at Feng Yichen's posture of turning around and leaving, and he clearly felt a little bit of running away.

Thinking that he didn't even have the courage to look at himself just now, it was obvious that he was exposed by himself, showing a guilty conscience; this kind of Feng Yichen is really too novel to Gu Yanxi, how could she let him go so easily.

So, she changed from her usual composure, as if she had really turned into an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, she jumped in front of Feng Yichen, opened her arms and looked at him, proudly raised her chin, looking at him coldly With handsome cheeks, he said to himself: "Just admit it, Feng Yichen, so you are also jealous!"
