After leaving Fanshan Temple, they went their separate ways. Yi Lin took Qi Chuxin to the He family, while Ruan Zhen took Gu Huaizhi to the grave of Ruan Fu and Ruan's mother.

After applying the incense.

Ruan Zhen said: "My aunt said that my father loved drinking, but my mother didn't allow it. Every time he would sneak out and have a few sips."

"There is a river near my home. My mother likes heavy rains the most. When the river water rises, a lot of it will be swept into the bank, and I will have fish soup to drink."

Gu Huaizhi listened carefully.

"how about you?"

Ruan Zhen's impression of her parents was already very shallow, so she tried to think about it.

"I should like my father to be caught drinking by my mother, so that if his hidden private money is found, my mother will always buy me a red headband."

Ruan Zhen was a little embarrassed: "My neighbors all say I am a beauty."

Hey, it turns out that I have loved beauty since I was a child.

Gu Huaizhi followed her words and asked politely: "According to what you said, isn't it true that there are quite a few people who come to propose marriage?"

Ruan Zhen doesn’t remember.

She was about to say she didn't know, but she caught the flash of amusement in Gu Huaizhi's eyes.

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

In fact, she not only loves beauty, but also has a good reputation, especially in front of Gu Huaizhi.

She could only lower her head and stammer out lies.

"It's natural."

"I'm the prettiest in our place. Who wouldn't want to book me early?"

As she spoke, her voice became louder and her tone became slower and smoother, ensuring that Gu Huaizhi could hear clearly.

She stretched out a hand and made a gesture. Her delicate jade fingers were smeared with very beautiful khaodan: "As soon as I go out, there will be at least this number of boys surrounding me, vying to play house with me.

Home."

Ruan Zhen was really popular when she was young. Wherever she went, there were a lot of people surrounding her chattering with her.

Gu Huaizhi felt uncomfortable hearing this, but he didn't show it on his face. He just squinted his eyes and turned his jade ring finger.

He smiled coldly: "You're quite precocious."

He didn't even know a few words, so he ran away behind the little girl.

Gu Huaizhi asked quietly: "Is there anything else?"

Ruan Zhen was stunned, isn't it enough?

It already sounds very respectable.

Gu Huaizhi is a person who has seen the big world, so maybe she doesn't think this is anything. At this point, she can only bite the bullet and continue to make up.

"There are also many women who come to the door, just want my parents to nod and have children and in-laws."

The little lady's hands under her sleeves clenched slightly: "Of course my parents won't agree."

Ruan Zhen lowered her head and did not see Gu Huaizhi's smile deepen. The smile was not visible in his eyes, but just one look was enough to make people shiver all over.

Gu Huaizhi's eyes were dark and he leaned closer: "Children's in-laws?"

Ruan Zhen: "Yeah."

Gu Huaizhi almost lost control of his strength and broke the jade finger into pieces. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable emotions, but there was no clue in his voice.

"Then do you have something you like?"

Before Ruan Zhen could say anything, there was a tearing thunder above his head, and there was a boom, which made Ruan Zhen tremble in shock.

Immediately afterwards, strong winds sprang up, the sky turned dark, and heavy rain poured down.

In an instant, Ruan Zhen was soaked in the rain. She shivered from the cold.

She subconsciously looked at the sitting grave. What a coincidence, it was her mother's favorite rainy day.

The place was empty and there was nowhere to take shelter from the rain. She took Gu Huaizhi and was about to return to the carriage parked far away.

But it didn't pull.

Gu Huaizhi just stood there, not angry but proud, and said quietly: "Why don't you say anything?"

He twitched the corners of his mouth coolly, feeling the heavy rain hitting his body: "Go on."

Ruan Zhen said: "It's raining."

Gu Huaizhi acted as if he had never heard of it.

The two of them were in a stalemate, which made Changfeng want to hide from the rain, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only accompany the newlyweds to get wet in the rain.

Changfeng never had a trace of resentment.

He puffed out his chest. It was just a little rain, nothing he had ever experienced before!

Let the storm come more violently!!!

The rain trickled down Ruan Zhen's delicate face. In just a few seconds, the little lady became extremely embarrassed.

She glanced at her wet self, and then looked hard at Gu Huaizhi, who was beside her.

Ruan Zhen could only move out in small steps: "Then I'll leave first."

The embroidered shoes were soaked in water, which made her whole body feel cold.

"Husband, won't you leave?"

Gu Huaizhi said with a cold face: "If you want to leave, you can leave!"

Ruan Zhen could not understand Gu Huaizhi's stubbornness.

She sounded serious and even shuddered: "I can't get exposed to the rain, I might get a fever."

She never lied.

Ruan Zhen's health has improved a bit in the Duke's Mansion. In the past, whenever she caught cold, her voice would be hoarse, and it would be difficult to recover once she became hoarse. In severe cases, her body would become hot and she would be so dizzy that she would have to drink for several days.

medicine.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her in surprise, even though he was soaked to the skin, the dignity in his bones was still there.

But the next moment, the prince's expression changed slightly.

Ruan Zhen is really gone.

He watched the young lady wave to him, lift up her wet skirt with great effort, and hurry towards the carriage without any hesitation.

Gu Huaizhi frowned and pursed his thin lips into a thin line.

Therefore, between hiding from the rain and explaining to him, Ruan Zhen chose to hide from the rain.

Changfeng's face was solemn: "Master, the rain is so heavy, the princess's body is not really sick, right?"

Gu Huaizhi was immersed in his thoughts and didn't want to talk to Changfeng, but he finally responded to him.

His tone was affirmative.

"impossible."

"Xiao Hui is alive and well despite being exposed to the rain. Nothing has happened to him."

Changfeng:……

Can the girl’s family compare with Xiao Hui’s?

He hesitated to speak, but stopped when he saw Gu Huaizhi's worried expression.

————

Ruan Zhen returned to the carriage, her whole body dripping with water. She hesitated for a moment, then turned back and forgot about Gu Huaizhi standing in the dark sky.

The little lady couldn't help crying, and her throat became itchy.

Ruan Zhen could only suppress her thoughts, got into the carriage, put down the heavy curtains, took out her change of skirts, and hurriedly took off her clothes.

She shivered from the cold, wiped her body with a dry cloth, and quickly changed into it.

The palms of her hands were cold, so Ruan Zhen could only make tea while holding it to her mouth and breathe. It wasn't until she took a sip of hot tea that her frozen body regained the warmth to breathe.

I don't know how long it took, but the car curtain was opened by someone outside. Gu Huaizhi walked in with a cold face.

It’s windy and rainy outside and I’m riding a horse.

Gu Huaizhi seemed not to be afraid of the cold, and every move he made at this moment still carried his innate nobility.

Ruan Zhen's hair was still dripping with water. She wiped it casually with a dry cloth, then quickly held the hot tea and handed it to the man: "Husband, take a sip quickly to get rid of the cold."

"I also found your clothes, and I need to change them."

With that said, Ruan Zhen was going to sit outside the car to make room for Gu Huaizhi.

"Stop." Gu Huaizhi called her.

He looked concerned and opened his arms: "Come here."

Ruan Zhen could only bite the bullet and untie his belt.

Gu Huaizhi snorted: "Don't look around."

She retorted in a low voice: "I didn't."

Gu Huaizhi's tone was cold but thoughtful: "What's so great about playing house? Is it possible that you took off your clothes for them?"

The man stared at the woman and asked quietly: "Why do you take off the top? What about the bottom?"
