Chapter Thirty-One
Gu Wanqing pointed to the soldiers of the Ministry of War who were lying on the ground and felt very aggrieved.
Someone shouted anxiously from a distance: "General, the rope of the horse you brought has broken, it is running out crazy! Hurry up and chase it back!"
"Ah, it's broken!..."
Gu Wanqing quickly pulled out his legs. This horse was given by the emperor and could not be lost.
Qin Guang looked at Gu Wanqing who was running away and shook his head speechlessly.
Qin Guang changed his face instantly and said sternly: "Get out of here! Don't embarrass you!"
After all the people in the martial arts training ground were exposed, a person slowly came over.
This man was wearing the eunuch's clothes and carefully identified it, and then he knew that he was the second prince's personal eunuch, Zhu Miao.
"It makes Lord Qin embarrassed." The eunuch Zhu Miao smiled flatteringly.
Qin Guang glanced sideways, disdained Zhu Miao's humbleness and said, "If you can guess General Wanqing is coming to lead people, he is worthy of being the second prince."
"Your Majesty Qin is also asked to keep this matter confidential."
Zhu Miao quietly stuffed a piece of jade into Qin Guang's hands, but it was priceless and more valuable than gold.
Qin Guang confirmed it and then accepted it. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Sharing the worries of the second prince is a matter of his ministers. However, judging from the current situation, General Wanqing is a pawn that will be a dead end no matter how he takes it. Is the second prince a little wary of her?"
Zhu Miao smiled gloomyly, "Anyone who gets close to the prince is all enemies. Besides, Bai Jue seems to be approaching intentionally recently."
"Then I wish the second prince all his wishes come true."
...
One day later, Bai Jue came to Gu's house to propose marriage with great fanfare.
Mrs. Gu almost crawled out to greet her happily.
It takes a long time to open the boxes one by one.
The box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, spread in the sun, and there was a golden glow, like a mirage under the sun.
Bai Jue was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe today, with python-shaped jade pendants hanging on both sides of his belt, and his steps were coming out.
He did not bring any weapons, but Chu Hao behind him carried a two-meter-long sword, like an executioner going to the execution ground, with a fierce momentum and full of oppression.
They followed the last box into the lobby, and Gu Wanqing also rushed over when she heard the sound.
The two of them looked at each other, and Bai Jue saw her, his eyes were bright and he smiled politely.
Xuan Ming also carved a big knife of the same style, for fear that the Bai family would come to cause trouble.
When he saw Chu Hao, Xuan Ming rolled his eyes. Chu Hao grinned politely, not embarrassed at all.
Gu Wanqing was full of doubts on her face - Gu Dongqi was not in Yan'an City, why did this guy suddenly come to propose marriage?
After tea, Mrs. Gu invited Bai Jue to attend the seat.
But Bai Jue didn't sit down. Except for giving Gu Wanqing a smile just now, his face always seemed to be a smile, and most of it was cold.
Gu Xi stood beside obediently. This was the first time she had seen Bai Jue.
Bai Jue is not as terrible as she imagined. Instead, she is handsome and elegant, so the girl can't take her eyes away after a glance.
Gu Xi blushed slightly, and he was stirring the handkerchief uncomfortably.
Mrs. Gu smiled flatteringly, "The master is not in the city now, so I'm afraid I can't make the decision to propose marriage."
Bai Jue stood tall and didn't look at anyone directly, and said, "You don't need Master Gu to be here. Choose an auspicious day. Miss Gu Xi can marry into my Marquis' Mansion - be a wife."
"For a wife?!"
All of them were completely shocked, including Gu Wanqing and Gu Xi.
When the matchmaker came over to talk about it before, Gu Dongqi was already very eager to be able to be a concubine.
The financial resources and power of the Marquis' Mansion are beyond the reach. Bai Jue is deeply trusted by the emperor and will sooner or later inherit the title. Maybe he is just around the corner to be named a marquis.
Whether it is a side room, a concubine, or a concubine, who can enter the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he will be able to eat and drink delicious food in the future.
But what a person like this is actually saying that he is marrying Gu Xi as his wife today?
The second sister Gu Qing shook Mrs. Gu's arm, who had been stunned, with jealousy in her eyes, "Mom, I heard it right!"
"I, I, I..." Mrs. Gu stuttered in shock.
Gu Xi pinched the handkerchief and his eyes widened, "You... did you say you want to marry me?"
I have to admit that even if she likes the young master of the Li family in her heart, she is still moved by Bai Jue's statement at this moment.
The husband is beautiful, rich in wealth and boundless in power.
In an instant, Gu Xi could imagine how he would show off his own way to the city if he married into the Marquis' Mansion, trampling his younger brother, sister, and his unscrupulous parents under his feet!
"That's right."
Bai Jue clapped his hands, and the group of people waiting outside the door carried another huge thing in.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded and their smiles were frozen.
This is a nanmu coffin with a big red ball tied to it, which is simply weird.
The coffin fell in the lobby with a loud bang.
Dust rose everywhere, like thunder in the sun, instantly snatching away the golden light from the box.
Bai Jue said: "On the day of marriage, please put Miss Gu Xi into this customized coffin and carry it into the Marquis' Mansion."
"Put my sister in?" Gu Qing asked.
Bai Jue nodded patiently, "I have calculated that I have been so evil in my life. Miss Gu Xi's fate is just right for me to be married, and I can also wish me a bright future. But... this living person is not good."
Gu Wanqing asked with a frown, "What does it mean?"
"The Second Master is so clear, don't you understand?" Chu Hao answered for Bai Jue, stood beside the coffin and explained: "Of course, Miss Gu Xi will only enter the door after she dies. Our Second Master's fate is particularly suitable for Miss Gu Xi to be a **."
"What?! I want me to die?!" Gu Xi's face was deformed in shock.
Some of the beautiful fantasies that she had just had in her heart fell into the abyss in an instant.
Gu Qing and Mrs. Gu were also frightened by this statement and the coffin in the lobby.
Chu Hao ordered people to bring a square plate and lift the cover cloth, "Three-foot white silk, please use it on the auspicious day. After entering the mansion, he and the second master got married and were buried in three days. But don't worry, the old marquis has agreed to let Miss Gu Xi's name be included in the family tree. In the future, he will be a regular and honest lady."
Mrs. Gu's voice trembled, "This... how can this work? How can I let my daughter die?"
Bai Jue smiled deeply and said, "Miss Gu Xi married into the Marquis' Mansion. The Gu family will also get a lot of benefits from marrying the Bai family. Since you have accepted the betrothal gift, I will naturally agree to it."
"But this..."
Chu Hao touched the hilt of the two-meter-long sword and said with a wicked smile: "You are the ones you want to get married. If you regret the marriage, the second master will not be ruthless to you. Lord Gu, who is on the front line, doesn't want to come back to see your pile of corpses, right?"
Mrs. Gu’s typical situation is that she cannot make decisions when encountering major events, and Bai Jue calculated this accurately.
Gu Wanqing stood beside him without saying a word, wishing to stare Bai Jue through his eyes.
Gu Qing grabbed Mrs. Gu's clothes and knelt down and begged: "Mom! You have to think clearly! You can't kill our whole family by protecting your sister!"
