next day

Just after the morning court, all the gentlemen complimented each other and walked along the official road.

Gu Huaizhi's expression was pale, and his face looked a little tired, showing that he had not had a good rest.

He was wearing an official uniform embroidered with cranes, and his gestures clearly showed the dignity of a young man from an aristocratic family, but there was also a sense of calmness and self-importance in him.

He walked leisurely in the courtyard, but his whole body was filled with alienation and unapproachability.

Mr. Hu was trembling and wanted to step forward but stopped, for fear of upsetting Gu Huaizhi again. Thinking of his wife and daughter who were worried at home, he had another heart attack.

Mu Hansheng walked behind him, with a long distance between them. He rubbed his face helplessly, and the desolation could be seen on his face.

Wu Xuchen didn't have so many scruples, he strode forward.

"grown ups!"

Gu Huaizhi simply didn't want to talk to him!

"Sir! I have one more thing..."

Wu Xuchen quickly caught up.

This person was indeed very good-looking. After giving him a sidelong glance, Gu Huaizhi came to the conclusion, his eyebrows and heart furrowed. What he said was cold and repulsive.

"For the case?"

Wu Xuchen was overjoyed: "Exactly."

As he spoke, he was going to talk about the clues he had obtained. When Gu Huaizhi raised his noble hand in a gesture of silence, Wu Xuchen didn't know what happened, so Honest Bajiao quickly shut up.

The man stared at him with dark eyes, flicked his robe carelessly, and said word by word: "Master Wu is brave and resourceful. There is no need to report those little things to me."

As he spoke, he looked away with disdain and asked as if unintentionally: "I heard that there are countless women who want to enter the Grand Master's residence, and there are even more olive branches from people who want to marry the Grand Master. In this way, Wu

Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Wu Xuchen felt uneasy.

It was obvious that Gu Huaizhi had praised him and cared about his family affairs, but he felt a chill running down his back.

Do you think it's bad or not?

Before he could speak, Taifu Liu came closer and his eyes circled around the two young juniors in front of him. He didn't notice the dark waves surging in the period, so he made a joke.

"Wu Shangshu is indeed a hot unmarried man in Lin'an. I have a niece who is also in the Mood for Love. Can I introduce you to her?"

Before he could finish his sales, Liu Shan also came over.

He was very tactful but straightforward: "It's time for my Weiran to be married to someone else."

It’s no wonder that they are impatient. There are very few juniors today who are capable, have good character, and are well-matched to their family.

Zhou Xu and Gu Huaizhi have been excluded.

In the entire Lin'an City, Wu Xuchen is the most promising person. But there is no rush. Whoever gets it first will be his.

Gu Huaizhi:......

He squinted his eyes. After thinking of Ruan Zhen's words yesterday, he felt bad.

The two important officials in the court stared at each other with eager eyes, which made Wu Xuchen blush. However, he was polite and respectful to his seniors. He lowered his eyes and whispered: "I have not yet reached the period of filial piety."

"It doesn't matter, the marriage won't work, but the marriage can be settled."

Once you have settled down, you can run away, but the monk cannot run away from the temple.

"Yes, if you get such a good son-in-law, you will be happy and who wouldn't want to keep the girl for a few more years."

Gu Huaizhi couldn't listen to a word anymore. He sneered and walked away with a stern face.

"When did I offend your lord?" Wu Xuchen muttered to himself when he saw this.

A man appeared behind him. He was breathing heavily, without any manners, and his black hair was tied up high, adding a bit of unruliness: "Gu Huaizhi is so virtuous."

"No, I am good at making good tea, and adults treat me very well."

"Come on, what's a cup of tea worth? Gu Huaizhi has never wanted to see me, so how can he want to see you?" Yun Simian rolled his eyes.

As he spoke, he looked at Taifu Liu and Liu Shan.

Happy.

"Want to introduce a girl to Wu Xuchen? Why don't you two uncles want to introduce her to me?"

Taifu Liu's smile visibly halved.

Liu Shan:......

Yun Simian: "I have met Uncle Liu's niece once. Although her temper is a bit arrogant, the pressure at home is really tight, so I am willing to recommend myself."

Taifu Liu:???What the hell? Just you?

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yun Simian, so he shook his sleeves heavily, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Yun Simian let out a deep breath and looked at Liu Shan.

Liu Shan felt sorry for his daughter the most. He was about to tell Yun Simian not to have any delusional thoughts and intend to harm his sister Ran, when he saw Yun Simian take a step back and waved his hand with a knowing voice: "Master Liu, please go slowly.

"

Liu Shan: I don’t know why, but I feel inexplicably uncomfortable!

Wu Xuchen:...It’s hard to describe in one word.

He looked at the uninvited guest and saw that he was hopeless and holding an unopened book in his arms. It could be seen that Zhou Xu wanted to check his homework and couldn't help but gloat at his misfortune.

"Your Majesty, please wait. Prince Yun, don't delay any longer."

"However, just now during the morning court, Long Yan was furious because it was discovered that the Yangzhou magistrate was corrupt. Prince Yun wished for much happiness for himself."

Yun Simian:......

He slowly covered his chest, was it still too late to pretend to be faint?

————

Gu Huai went back to his house without staying outside after the morning court. When he returned to Moyuan, Ruan Zhen was having breakfast.

He walked away silently, looking at her with calm eyes.

When Ruan Zhen noticed something, she stepped inside.

Gu Huaizhi did not change out of his court clothes immediately, but simply put his official hat aside. The light filtered through the window panes and fell on his shoulders, and the fine rays of light fell on his chiseled face.

The harsh sound of "squeaking" was the sound of the chair being dragged against the ground.

Ruan Zhen put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the pair of dark eyes opposite her. She smiled lightly and was gentle.

"Husband, would you like some more lunch?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids.

"No."

Ruan Zhen nodded, and then took a few more mouthfuls of porridge. His gaze never moved on her body.

He said calmly: "Wu Xuchen tried to talk to me today."

When Ruan Zhen heard this name, she thought of last night and became a little scared.

Ruan Zhen was silent. But after thinking about it carefully, she tried hard not to laugh.

Didn't she notice that something was wrong with Gu Huaizhi?

"Husband."

There was only a crunching sound, the sound left by the spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl.

The young lady wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then stretched out a slender hand. Following her movements, the wide sleeves slid down, revealing a section of her wrist as white as lotus root. The casual style was a little charming,

What happened was that the eyes on her hibiscus face were as clean and penetrating as glass.

She picked it up lightly with her fingertips, then pinched it slightly and rubbed it once or twice. Her red lips moved and her voice was soft: "You are really too small-minded."

Gu Huaizhi's face turned completely dark.

Changsu:!!!

What did he hear!

He held his breath.

He remained motionless, for fear that Gu Huaizhi wouldn't be able to hold back and would snap the crown prince's concubine. When he was panicking, he saw Gu Huaizhi suddenly stand up, sneer and go to the inner room.
Chapter completed!
