Poor Lady

Chapter 58: twists and turns

Views:

One hand hooked Qi Surong's waist to steady her figure. Qi Surong looked up and saw that it was Gu Jinyun. How could he appear here? His face looked particularly scary.

Gu Jinyun pulled her aside and looked coldly at Feng Zhan who walked out later. The latter leaned against the door, staring straight at the man in front of him.

"Gu Jinyun?" He had investigated this man, and he was the one his mother planned to matchmaking with Su Rong. In terms of appearance alone, he is indeed a person of talent, with the bearing of a warrior and the restraint of a scholar. It's just that his expression is gloomy and his eyes are chilling. Will such a man treat Su Rong well

Without saying a word, Gu Jinyun took Qi Surong and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Feng Zhan stopped him, "You want to take my friend with you without saying a word?"

Gu Jinyun ignored him and just said to Qi Surong: "Are you leaving?"

Qi Surong nodded quickly, then looked at Feng Zhan: "Brother Feng, it's getting late. Let's say goodbye today and meet again another day."

"Do you know each other?" Feng Zhan looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"We have met several times." Qi Surong replied in a mocking tone.

Feng Zhan's eyes fell on Gu Jinyun's hand holding Qi Surong, displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I forced you to drink here today, so I should send you back in person."

It was undeniable that he had a good impression of this young man. "He" had the aura of Su Rong, and his appearance was 70% or 80% similar. If his voice hadn't been completely different, he would have almost thought "he" was Su Rong. He was drunk just now, and his behavior was indeed a bit rough. I wonder if it scared "him". He thinks that he is not as good as Long Yang, but he always wants to get close to "him" unconsciously. More importantly, he couldn't bear that it was the man in front of him who took "him" away.

"No need." Qi Surong declined politely, "I'm going back to Yingshu Pavilion. Gu... Brother Gu, I just happened to be on my way." As she spoke, she felt her head hurt and her steps were a little shaky. She had to rely on Gu Jinyun's arm to support her. Stand firm.

Gu Jinyun quickly noticed something was wrong with her, so he no longer hesitated and helped her walk out.

Feng Zhan suddenly took Qi Surong's arm and said word by word: "I just said, 'I' will send him back."

"Let go." Gu Jinyun stared at his hand and said coldly.

"You should be the one who should let go." Feng Zhan said without giving in. "You are just a businessman. I have many ways to prevent you from gaining a foothold in the capital. Do you really want to go against me?"

Wei State has a strict hierarchical system, and the people are not allowed to fight with the officials. Even if the Gu family is on good terms with powerful people, they have no choice but to retreat if they mess with a famous official like Feng Zhan.

"Whatever." Gu Jinyun didn't care, but Qi Surong secretly shuddered and felt chilled. In the last life, the Gu family was indeed forced out of the capital. Could it be that Feng Zhan was adding fuel to the fire? No way? Based on her understanding of Feng Zhan, he was not a narrow-minded person who was determined to retaliate against others.

Qi Su endured the discomfort, straightened her back, and said seriously: "Master Feng, if you use your power to bully others and force the Gu family because of such a trivial matter, then you will think that Zhuo has misjudged the wrong person. You are a high-ranking official, and Zhuo is just an intermediary. Cao Min, from now on, Cao Min will never dare to be worthy of being a brother of Lord Feng. Cao Min will say goodbye and you can do as you please."

After finishing speaking, he walked out without looking back.

"Zhuo Fan..." Feng Zhan took a few steps forward, but in the end he did not pursue him. He just watched the two people disappear at the end of the corridor.

He clenched his fist tightly and slammed it against the wall. hateful! He didn't know why he said those words? They are like incompetent idiots who rely on their power to oppress others. Although he is unwilling to lower himself, how should he deal with the jealousy and depression in his heart

Whether it was Su Rong or Zhuo Fan, he didn't want to give it to anyone else.

No, Gu Qi's family has not yet gotten married. He still has a chance and must not give up easily. Since his parents disagreed, why didn't he ask someone with a higher status than his parents to help him? Feng Zhan slowly raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

As soon as Qi Surong got on the carriage, her body softened. She had just been trying to hold on. If Gu Jinyun hadn't been there, she might not have been able to hold on.

Gu Jinyun held her in his arms, checked her body temperature, and smelled the alcohol on her body, with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

Qi Surong felt dizzy and secretly glanced at Gu Jinyun, shrinking back and not daring to speak.

The carriage arrived in silence all the way to the house next to Qi's house. Gu Jinyun carried Qi Surong into the house and walked straight into the room.

After carefully placing Qi Surong on the bed, he went out and ordered his attendants to fetch the doctor. He also asked the girl to bring hangover soup.

Qi Surong was wrapped in a quilt, with only her eyes exposed, looking like she wanted to sleep but didn't dare.

Gu Jinyun stood beside the bed and looked at her condescendingly.

The room fell into a strange silence. In the end, Qi Surong showed weakness first and whispered: "Jin Yun..."

"Stop talking, I'm angry."

"I know you are angry, but..." Qi Surong's eyes wandered and said, "I didn't mean it."

"Didn't you do it on purpose? He just recovered a little and ran out and went drinking with a man!" Gu Jinyun's tone was stern and his expression was terrifying.

"'Zhuo Fan' has been missing for too long. Some things must be dealt with personally." Qi Surong explained, "After handling it, I was ready to go home, but I didn't expect to meet Feng Zhan on the way."

"He not only cares for you, but also for Zhuo Fan!" Gu Jinyun affirmed.

"No way?" Qi Surong said hesitantly, "He might just think Zhuo Fan and I look similar." Thinking of the times when he was drinking before, he couldn't help but look at himself. Could it be true...

"Anyway, stay away from him in the future."

Qi Surong nodded, feeling a little depressed and said, "I know."

Gu Jinyun sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a gentle tone: "Surong, don't make fun of your body, you can no longer withstand the pain."

"I'm sorry." Qi Surong's eyes were red, she held Gu Jinyun's hand and said softly, "I was too hasty this time."

"I won't restrain you from anything you want to do, except for two things that I won't allow."

"What two things?"

"First, your safety and health must not be ignored. Second, as a man, no other man in this world can touch you except me." Gu Jinyun leaned down, put one hand on the side of Qi Surong's face, and asked in a deep voice, " Did Feng Zhan touch you?"

Qi Surong stuttered: "No, no."

"Lie." Gu Jinyun took her hand and kissed the back of her hand, "He just grabbed your hand."

"This..." Qi Surong was unable to refute.

"Has he touched this place?" Gu Jinyun kissed her cheek again.

"No." The answer was quick this time.

"Liar again, the hair on your forehead is all messed up..." He rubbed her lips with his fingers, "Where is this place? Have you touched it?"

"No, no." Qi Surong quickly denied.

Gu Jinyun lowered his head and kissed her, biting her lightly like punishment.

"You bite me even though you said so." Qi Surong covered her mouth and stared at her.

"This is the punishment for having a private meeting with other men." Gu Jinyun bit her earlobe again.

"Bite me again?"

"This is your punishment for drinking."

“…”

Then the chin, neck, collarbone... It wasn't until the maid's voice came from outside the door that Gu Jinyun stopped punishing him, carefully helped Qi Surong pull up the scattered clothes, and put down the gauze curtain before letting the maid in.

The maid was followed by the doctor. After checking her pulse, the doctor said: "My lady is fine. She is just recovering from a serious illness and is weak and weak. She must not drink alcohol anymore."

Then he opened a few prescriptions and asked the maid to send them out.

When Gu Jinyun opened the gauze curtain again, Qi Surong had already fallen into a deep sleep. He covered her with the quilt, his eyes filled with love.

When he woke up, Qi Surong had returned to his room. She sat up and saw two notes on the bedside. One was a prescription, and the other was Gu Jinyun's various instructions to her.

Qi Surong smiled, feeling relieved.

The next day, after Feng Zhan went to court, he went straight to the Feng family's ancestral home outside the capital to visit his grandfather. It was not until evening that he rushed back to the capital. His expression became relaxed and cheerful, and it was obvious that things were going smoothly.

When his grandfather heard about this, he asked someone to give him a beating without saying a word, and asked him three times in a row if he would not marry her unless he was her. Feng Zhan's answer is the same. Mr. Feng was silent for a long time and nodded.

Feng Zhan didn't expect his grandfather to agree so easily and promised to send someone to help him go to Qi's house to propose marriage. But there is one condition, that is, after getting married, you must concentrate on government affairs and not forget your official duties for personal reasons. If he could not be promoted to the third rank within five years, his younger brother would inherit the Feng family's business and title, and Feng Zhan agreed without even thinking about it.

Two days later, Feng Zhan's parents received a letter from Master Feng, asking them to agree to the marriage between Feng Zhan and the daughter of the Qi family. Feng Chenglv and Feng Luoshi thought that their father didn't know about the situation of the Qi family, so they went out of their way to explain it to someone, not wanting Master Feng to be firm and not allow any comment.

Feng Zhan's parents had no choice but to reluctantly nod and promised to go to Qi's house to propose marriage in three days. Feng Zhan was overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events, and wrote a letter to Qi Surong to reassure her that she would be the bride-to-be.

One can imagine how shocked Qi Surong was after receiving the letter. Things that had been finally arranged turned out to have twists and turns. How should she handle it this time

In addition to Qi Surong, there was another person who was equally uncomfortable, and that was Liu Qian'er, the daughter of the Taiwei. When Feng Zhan's wish came true, the first thing he thought of was his friend Liu Muhan. Liu Muhan was naturally happy for him, but this incident was like a bolt from the blue to Liu Qian'er. She returned to the room in a daze, hugging Luo Yanyi and crying bitterly.

Luo Yanyi comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I will help you."

Liu Qian'er didn't listen to what she said at all and felt sad.

After Luo Yanyi comforted Liu Qian'er, she immediately sent someone to summon her dead soldiers, giving these instructions.

In the evening, Feng Zhan had dinner at the Taiwei Mansion. The two drank wine together and had a great time. After a few rounds, everyone became drunk and staggered when walking. Liu Muhan left Feng Zhan to spend the night in the mansion and arranged a guest room.

Late at night, Feng Zhan felt hot all over his body, as if there was a fire burning in his belly. At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door: "Yanyi, are you there?"

Feng Zhan's consciousness was confused, he staggered out of bed, followed the sound to the door, opened the door suddenly, and saw a woman walking towards this side holding a lantern. She has a slim figure and light steps. She looks very alluring in the dim light.

Feng Zhan breathed heavily and looked at the woman who was getting closer and closer to him with burning eyes.

"Yanyi?" Liu Qian'er didn't notice the figure inside the door, her attention was on the yard outside the corridor.

When he passed Feng Zhan's room, he felt a pain in his arm. The lantern fell to the ground and he was pulled into the room.
