Chapter 717 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (38)

Seeing his parents and others enter the room, Shi An tiptoed to the door and whispered, "I came back in a hurry and didn't bring much. Tomorrow... after the New Year, I will take you and your daughter to the market. You can buy whatever you want, okay?"

The kerosene lamp in the room went out, and Shi An could only return to his room in disappointment, feeling that the room was empty.

Lying on the bed, he smelled the familiar fragrance of the woman, and there was also a faint fragrance in the room.

"Women's hearts are as elusive as the sea. You should be more careful with me!" Shi An said to himself. It was really uncomfortable to stay alone in an empty room.

Early in the morning after the New Year, the Shi family tactfully went to the house in Menghua City.

"Dad and Mom, don't worry about leaving this family to me. I will help my wife deliver the goods." said the man with a swollen pig face.

The two old men thought it was unreliable, and the old man finally said earnestly: "Figure it out yourself."

Gu Yuxi held her daughter up and washed up, and the man said happily: "Xi'er, I will accompany you to deliver the goods today."

"you?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm going to the county magistrate tomorrow. I'm free today. I've made some millet porridge and will serve it to you two right away."

After all the wooden furniture of all sizes were loaded onto the boat, the two began to walk along the river towards some people's homes.

"The colors here are beautiful. Two months ago, my girl was clamoring for your craftsmanship as a dowry, and today she is here."

"Grandma, you gave me thirty cents as a deposit last time. Let me calculate it. This box..."

"Yes, that's the price."

After delivering most of the goods, Shi An pointed to a pile of goods in the house and said, "Xi'er, there is still a pile. Where are we going after noon?"

"That's the dowry I made for Embroidery myself. She's getting married in two months, so it can't be too shabby."

"Xi'er, thank you for your hard work. Otherwise, let's go to my mother-in-law's place while we have time."

Gu Yuxi didn't answer, but walked into the room and left the person in the yard.

Shi An touched his neck and murmured, "Did I say something wrong again? I didn't kick the door today, nor did I say anything about me."

Thinking that he had been home for a few days and hadn't even touched his wife's hand, it would take him a long time to climb onto her bed.

Ten days later...

“This lamp is beautiful!”

“Release the river lanterns, over there, over there.”

Gu Yuxi walked in the bustling market holding her child. The night gradually darkened, but the lanterns and colorful lights shone brightly.

No one knew what that bastard had done. He hadn't been seen for more than ten days. The next time we met might be several years later.

This year's Lantern Festival seemed to be warmer than previous years. She passed by a vendor's stall and saw the rabbit lantern and liked it very much. A man next to her asked, "How much is the rabbit lantern?"

Gu Yuxi paused and was about to leave, but the man said, "Miss Gu, long time no see."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Yuxi knocked, but she didn't expect that Wu Chenlin was not wearing the tight clothes or armor as usual, but a light blue clothes, which made him look like a humble scholar today.

"Meet General Wu."

"If we're going the same way, let's go together."

"No, I'm going to West Street."

"You and I are on the same path. Let's go. My mother wants to see you."

"Yes."

Gu Yuxi followed Wu Chenlin closely until they reached the end of the street. Unexpectedly, the person in front of her suddenly stopped. She subconsciously protected her daughter's head and bumped into the man's back.

"Are you okay?" Wu Chenlin turned around and asked nervously.

"General Wu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. You don't need to use the name of Madam. But if you are talking nonsense, then don't say it."

Wu Chenlin knew the woman's temperament, so he could only keep those words in his heart. He sighed and said, "Someone is coming from Princess Yunrong's side. She has something important to discuss with you."

"I am just a peasant woman. The princess may have made a mistake."

"I can't guess what the princess is thinking, but her attitude is not very good. You should be careful. I will share everything with you."

"Thank you." Gu Yuxi bowed and entered the yard.

The courtyard door closed, and she saw a woman with her back to her. She stepped forward, knelt down and said, "This humble woman greets His Highness Yunrong."

The woman in front turned around, looking elegant and beautiful. When she saw Gu Yuxi, she smiled and said, "Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for many years. You look more and more beautiful. Get up."

"Thank you princess."

After the attendants left, Gu Yuxi didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point, "If Your Highness is here for the matter of finding a prince consort, then I can only say that you have found the wrong person. Although Mr. Su and I have an engagement, we only met once."

"You are a smart person. I, Yunrong, am not the type to cling to men. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Su likes me or not. My coming to see you is another matter."

"Princess, please speak."

Yun Rong looked stern and a little uncomfortable, and said angrily: "You don't really think that I am angry with you because of my husband? Do you think I am a narrow-minded person?"

"No."

Looking at the pink and jade-carved baby in Gu Yuxi's arms, the superior woman pleaded, "Can you let me hold you?"

"My daughter is still young, and I am afraid that she will disturb the princess's pleasure."

Yun Rong suddenly said coquettishly: "Gu Yuxi, when you disguised yourself as a man to tease me, you were not as shy as you are now. Could it be that your dead man will come out to cause trouble for you?"

"Your Highness is right. My dead man did crawl back to life, but now I don't know where he is anymore."

“Hahaha!” The woman held her waist and laughed, “This is you, give me a hug!”

After saying that, Yun Rong suddenly hugged Gu Yuxi, and took the baby in her arms with her when she left.

"Call me godmother." Yun Rong gently rubbed the child's face and said, "He's so cute. He's better looking than that brat at my aunt's house."

"Your Highness, you are of noble status, and my son's family..."

"You're using the same tactics again, Gu Yuxi, do you look down on me? You're saying one thing after another, it's so annoying. When you led me to the Magic Potion Valley at night, you were so heroic. You and I were like one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand men could not get through!"

"A hero never brags about his past achievements. I will never go to that place again."

Yun Rong suddenly grabbed Gu Yuxi's hand and begged, "Don't say that. If you don't go, I will use my power to force you to go."

Gu Yuxi shook his head and said, "You can't go there. That place is no longer the same as it used to be. You were planning to set fire to those foreigners who were rude to you, so you set all those things on fire."

"Of course I remember that I set a big fire, but no one died. Those men blocked all the entrances and exits. I don't know how to use the mechanism, so I can't get in even if I want to find something."

Gu Yuxi seriously suggested: "You'd better not go. The trap was accidentally touched by those men. There are less than three houses in the valley, and with the huge rocks rolling down, it's hard to find rare treasures and exotic plants."

Yun Rong knocked his head and said, "Could it be possible that those things won't grow again? I just set a fire."

"Yeah, those men just threw rocks."

"Ah!" The woman sat weakly on the chair and sighed helplessly.
