Although the two men did not speak loudly, and Wang Rong and others intentionally stopped others from approaching, but at this moment when everyone was ready to make a move, it was easy to guess why Jiang Huanran did this.
Of course, they would not believe how sincere Jiang Huanran was. When the families heard the news, they secretly cursed the Jiang family for breaking the rules and taking the lead.
After knowing this, Jiang Xinde could only sigh and let them go. To be honest, he didn't believe that a carnivore would suddenly turn to a vegetarian. But his youngest son's progress in recent times was enough to prove that what he said about wanting to marry Hua Zhi was not just talk. He even wanted to be better so as to be worthy of that person.
He was not surprised by this result. Not to mention that Hua Zhi had no interest in her youngest son, even if she did, she would not respond. Huan Ran could not protect her. Who would leave such a god of wealth unused at home? He asked himself if he could do it.
This result is good at the moment. With Hua Zhi's personality, she will feel that she owes Huanran a favor to some extent. If there are any benefits in the future, she will never forget the Jiang family. It can be said that she is doing good things unintentionally.
Thinking of his son who had not left the house since he came back, he ordered everyone not to disturb him. This kind of thing was something he let go of over time. He had also been a young man when he admired Ai, so he understood that feeling.
The Hua family's carriage drove directly into the front yard. Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows when she saw the man opening the curtain, looking at him with a smile, but she was not going to get off.
Gu Yanxi was very good at reading people's expressions and got on the carriage by herself.
"..." The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. Nanny Su coughed lightly, signaling everyone to disperse, and she stayed nearby herself. Several big maids covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Their young lady really took advantage of them.
Sitting next to Ah Zhi, Gu Yanxi touched her slightly cold cheek, took off his cloak and covered her with it, "Got it?"
"As a person involved, I was probably the last one to know."
Gu Yanxi smiled, "It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter if you don't know."
"If it's really a small matter, why would you add more people to my side?" Hua Zhi was actually a little unhappy. For anything, being prepared and being unprepared are two different things. If she knew what those people were planning, she would be on guard against them from the bottom of her heart. Whether she went out or did something, she would take the danger into consideration instead of walking outside without any precautions like she did today.
This incident also reminded her that all her information came from Yan Xi and the Qisusi behind him. As long as these two sources were blocked, she would be blind and deaf. After all, she still had to have her own information channel, but it was easier said than done. To build such a channel, she first needed manpower and then time, and she lacked both.
"Don't be angry." Gu Yanxi held her hand and rubbed it to warm her up, "I'm just a little... jealous."
Hua Zhi wasn't angry to begin with, and after hearing his frank confession, her anger faded. She glanced at him and snorted, "You know I'll fall for this."
Gu Yanxi smiled and covered her face with her hand, her brows full of tenderness, "I'm angry too. If they were all like Jiang Huanran, I would have looked up to them, but they only want to use you to benefit their family, without any sincerity. I just want to whip them until their faces are covered with blood. I have arranged enough people around you, so it's fine if they don't use tricks, but if they really want to play those despicable tricks..."
Gu Yanxi smiled, but indifferently, "I will let them know what it means to be in excruciating pain."
Hua Zhi rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, "Your smile is not pretty at all, give me back my gentle lover."
The power of the word "lover" is enormous. Gu Yanxi was immediately pleased. The coldness in his eyes gradually faded away, and a smile appeared between his brows and in his eyes.
Hua Zhi kissed him on the lips as a reward, and when Gu Yanxi caught up with her, she stepped back and covered his mouth, "Speak properly."
Gu Yanxi didn't argue with her about who was not speaking properly. She nodded and really started talking nicely, "I want to wait for the right time to let the prince come to the front, and make an engagement with you as the prince."
Hua Zhi thought about it and said, "In this case, the princes in the palace, Haoyue, or some other interested people will guess that the leader of the Seven Stars Division is the prince."
"If there is no longer a leader of the Seven Stars after me, these will no longer be a problem. The original purpose of the mask was to guard against people in the royal family with complicated relationships, to maintain the independence of the Seven Stars to the greatest extent, and not to be controlled by parents and relatives for any reason. Since then, the leader of the Seven Stars has only needed to be loyal to the emperor, but these restrictions are useless to me. King Ling should be thankful that I don't cause trouble for him. As for others, who dares?"
"Don't make a decision in a hurry, wait and see." Hua Zhi still felt something was wrong. She instinctively felt that if Yan Xi did this, it would definitely cause the emperor to be furious. She didn't care whether the emperor was good or bad to her, but Yan Xi cared. The little concern the emperor gave her was a rare warmth in his ten years. The emperor would not live for many more years, so it would be good for him to keep this relationship.
Thinking of this, Hua Zhi emphasized, "Be sure to discuss this with me before you decide to do this."
"As you wish."
Hua Zhi, who was touched by these two words, suddenly remembered that he mentioned Jiang Huanran before. He obviously knew what happened on the road and rejected other people's kindness. Even if there was no right or wrong, she still felt that she owed him a favor. "Don't cause trouble for the Jiang family. No matter what other people in the Jiang family plan, Jiang Huanran's openness is rare."
"You are overestimating yourself. How dare he say he will protect you? He can't even handle the pressure from the Jiang family."
"He did his best."
Gu Yanxi looked at Ah Zhi who had been helping Jiang Huanran, leaned closer, and said with a hint of danger in her tone, "Are you optimistic about him?"
"When I first met him, he was still a playboy. Now he has calmed down and his eyes are determined. In time, maybe he will be able to... hmm..."
Gu Yanxi kissed the mouth that said good things about others hard, feeling jealous. After a while, she let go of the person whose lips were red and swollen, and whispered to her forehead, "You have never praised me so highly."
Hua Zhi almost laughed out loud. Was this still a feeling of injustice
"You can kiss me, can he? You can hug me, can he? You can come and go as you please, can he? You can..." His lips were blocked again, but compared to the previous storm, it was clearly much gentler now, as if he was apologizing.
Hua Zhi pushed his face away and rubbed it hard, unwilling to quarrel with the man who cared about her so much. As for love, if you like each other, then stay together, if you don't like each other, then separate. There is no need to quarrel, love cannot be gained by quarreling, but it can be avoided.
After a little tidying up, Hua Zhi put on her hood and got off the carriage, lowering her head and covering her lips. At least on the surface, it seemed that the two of them had not done anything inappropriate. Of course, she couldn't hide it from her personal maid.
