Chapter 54 I'm afraid you'll pretend to be affectionate
Lu Chuanlin did not give up.
Continuing the offensive against Gu Yunyao: "The Duke's Mansion is indeed better than the General's Mansion. My father has a high position and is very powerful. This time, my mother will be rewarded. Yunyao, I know you are feeling pressure.
However, don't worry, although you are not polite enough and your literary talent is not good enough, these are not problems.
When you marry into the Duke's palace, my mother will arrange for a nanny to teach you the rules, and I will also supervise you."
Gu Yunyao gave a short laugh: "Lu Chuanlin, what is this?"
Lu Chuanlin looked at her raised palm, was stunned for a moment and said, "Five?"
Gu Yunyao took a slow breath and said, "You are indeed out of your mind. Was it because of the bad smell, or because of the King of Qin's punishment?"
"This is not five, this is a slap. If you dare to say it again, I will slap you."
Lu Chuanlin's face changed slightly, and a trace of cruelty quickly flashed in his eyes.
Gu Yunyao didn't miss it and caught it quickly.
This reaction is normal.
I'm not afraid of you being cruel or fierce, I'm just afraid that you'll pretend to be affectionate. You're just a lunatic.
"Yunyao, stop making trouble, okay? What do you want me to do to stop being angry?"
Gu Yunyao knew that it would be impossible to reason with such an ordinary man.
She turned away and said softly: "Don't provoke me again, I should have known that you and Gu Qingwen... you two are a couple.
Later I will report to my grandmother and let her make the decision, and I will leave the marriage to Gu Qingwen."
Seeing her like this, a successful smile flashed across Lu Chuanlin's lips, he took a step forward and said softly: "How can Gu Qingwen compare with you?
It was her own wishful thinking. She was just a businesswoman. Even if she had some talent, her background could not be changed.
Ayao, you are the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, and you are the one I want to marry."
Gu Yunyao raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, filled with surprise and joy.
She didn't say anything, but her eyes said it all.
Lu Chuanlin felt relieved and became more gentle: "Ayao, let's be good and not break off the engagement. After our wedding, I will treat you well and make you a good daughter-in-law of the Duke's palace."
Gu Yunyao cautiously looked in the direction of Gu Qingwen's yard.
Lu Chuanlin quickly said: "If Gu Qingwen pesters me again, I will never see her again. I won't even look at a shameless woman like her. Ayao, are you relieved?"
He raised his hand and wanted to straighten the broken hair around Gu Yunyao's ears. Gu Yunyao suppressed the nausea in her heart, pretended to be shy and avoided it, turned around and ran towards the front hall.
If I don't run... I'm going to vomit.
I ran all the way to the front hall, panting, face pale, and full of fear.
The old lady was talking to the Duke's wife, and the second lady was also there with her two daughters.
Erfang would never let go of this kind of opportunity to show his face easily.
Gu Qingxue sneered: "Second sister, what are you running for?
You're not dignified at all. Look, your hair is all down. People who didn't know better thought you were being chased by a dog in your own home!"
Gu Yunyao laughed heartily: If you can speak, just speak more!
"No, Third Sister, don't... say that, it's not a dog..."
Seeing how panicked and timid she was, Gu Qingxue felt that the anger in her heart had finally been released.
"If it's not a dog chasing you, why are you running? If it's not a dog, then you are even more rude."
The second lady covered her mouth with a veil but did not stop her.
Gu Yunyao continued to dig holes: "No, I just came from Huayuanzi, how could there be a dog..."
"Normally, there are no dogs in Huayuanzi, but some people are naturally attracted to dogs, so that's hard to say.
Come, go to Huayuanzi to see what kind of wild dog and wild cat chases the second sister and makes her so rude in front of the Duke and his wife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chuanlin walked over slowly.
Gu Yunyao saluted the old lady: "Going back to grandma, I just met the prince in the garden and chatted for a few words, so I came late."
There was silence in the room.
Gu Qingxue froze, her face pale.
"Your Majesty..."
Lu Chuanlin didn't even look at her, and his face didn't look good.
The Duke's wife was holding her breath even more. She was not willing to come to the general's mansion in the first place, and now Gu Qingxue called her son a dog in front of her.
"The same goes for you kid," the second lady quickly smoothed things over and said to Gu Yunyao, "Why don't you speak clearly?
Wouldn't it be great if you said you were meeting the prince earlier? Xue'er won't misunderstand."
Gu Yunyao asked back: "The second lady manages the back house, don't you know?
I thought you all knew it, otherwise why would the prince break into the garden of our mansion?"
Everyone: "..."
The Duke's wife cleared her throat: "Well, I heard that the garden of the General's Mansion is well taken care of, the flowers are blooming beautifully, and Sichuan Lin is filial. Just now you didn't come, so I went there to have a look."
She changed her subject and added: "I didn't expect that we could meet each other in a garden. It's considered fate.
Yunyao, I came here this time to send you a message. In a few days, Concubine Yun will hold an autumn banquet in the palace. You can go with me.
If you agree, you will tell everyone that Gu Yunyao and Lu Chuanlin's marriage is still going on.
Gu Qingwen's expression did not change, and Gu Qingxue's eyes sparkled.
Going to the palace to attend the banquet was invited by Concubine Yun. What an honor it was?
No matter how much you squeeze your head, you still can't find the way!
Seeing Gu Qingxue's greedy and excited look, the Duke's wife felt both contempt and pride.
She expected that Gu Yunyao would definitely agree. No one could refuse such an opportunity to show her face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yunyao escaped from her prediction and control.
"I don't understand what the Duke's wife said," Gu Yunyao was confused, "Should I go with you? In what capacity should I go with you?"
The Duke's wife raised her eyebrows slightly and suppressed her displeasure: "You are the future daughter-in-law of our Duke's mansion. This is known to the whole capital. What is your identity?"
Gu Yunyao chuckled: "It seems that the Duke's wife didn't listen to what I said.
Then I will say it again, I have canceled this marriage.
I won't attend the banquet, but if you want to find a daughter-in-law for the Gu family, it won't be difficult. The eldest sister and the third sister are both willing."
"Right?"
Gu Qingwen's face showed just the right amount of surprise and grievance: "Second sister, you...why do you say that? How do I behave like this?"
"Nonsense!" The Duke's wife slapped the table, "Yun Yao, as an elder, I have already given you enough face. You have come to visit me several times. What else do you want? Don't be ignorant of praise."
"Old Madam, is this your attitude?" She turned to look at the Old Madam, "Do you really think that the Duke of our country is easy to bully?"
The old lady's face darkened: "Yun Yao, don't be rude. If you have something to say, say it well."
The old lady did not reprimand her too much. She was filled with doubts. Normally, with Gu Yunyao's behavior, the Duke's Mansion should have abandoned her long ago. But on the contrary, not only did she refuse to break off the engagement, but the Duke's wife even came to visit her in person.
