Chapter 254 Why did he cancel the engagement?
"Run away?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Mrs. Guo was startled. Was it necessary to be so surprised?
"Didn't you agree on this? Why did you run away? Where did you run to? Who did you run away with?" The third prince asked four questions anxiously.
Mrs. Guo was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that everyone was staring at his wife, in order to avoid a commotion, Guo Yuanzheng hurriedly bowed to Emperor Yuan and said, "There are too many people outside, why don't we go inside and talk."
Emperor Yuan looked around and then nodded.
Then, a group of people followed Emperor Yuan into Guo’s residence.
Guo Yuan was dismissing the wedding procession, "Go back to where you came from now, and don't talk too much."
The matchmaker waved her handkerchief and said, "Sir, we haven't settled the money yet!"
"I'll send someone to take it to you later," said Guo Yuanzheng, lowering his voice. "Leave quickly and don't disturb the emperor."
Originally, the matchmaker was willing to leave only after receiving the money, but her expression changed immediately when she heard the words "the emperor's carriage".
After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly realized that there was indeed a person with a different temperament, giving people an indescribable sense of deterrence.
For this reason, the matchmaker, who preferred to believe it rather than not, left with her people in a grand manner.
Guo Yuanzheng walked into the house, put his hands on the door, looked around, and then slammed the door shut.
"Hey~ why are you all gone?"
"I don't know. It looks like a wedding procession, but there's no bride in the sedan chair."
"That shouldn't be a wedding, right? Otherwise, Imperial Physician Guo wouldn't have failed to send us an invitation."
"What's going on there?"
"Who knows? Or why don't you go and ask around?"
"Come on, if I have that much free time, I'd rather go and play with my beauty."
"What beauty? Don't hide it. Didn't we say that we should share happiness and sleep with a beauty together?"
"Hey, let's go, I'll take you to some fun, I guarantee you'll be in ecstasy."
"Okay, brother."
The sound gradually faded away, mixed with dissolute laughter...
Inside Guo's residence, Emperor Yuan sat in the main seat in the main hall, while Xie Xu stood beside him expressionlessly, holding the sword ring.
The Third Prince, the Duke of England and others sat on the stools on both sides, and those who could not sit stood.
Mrs. Guo stood in the hall, looking reserved.
She didn't expect that today's actions would attract Emperor Yuan, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Madam Guo, please tell me, why did Director Guo's Chu... run away?"
Since Guo Yuanzheng appeared at the door at this time, Mrs. Guo knew that it was Jiang Yueyang's inner voice that exposed her behavior, and it was the court where all the civil and military officials gathered.
But... why are Your Majesty and these adults so gossipy!
Emperor Yuan frowned slightly when he saw that Madam Guo did not respond.
Seeing this, the Third Prince hurriedly said, "Madam Guo, my father is asking you a question, why don't you answer it quickly?"
Mrs. Guo's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "I was going to pick her up today, but when she was about to get into the sedan chair, a middle-aged man suddenly showed up."
At this time, Dean Guo just walked in and happened to hear the four words "middle-aged man".
Emperor Yuan asked, "Who is that middle-aged man? Why did someone run away with him?"
"I heard her say that the middle-aged man was..." Mrs. Guo glanced at Guo Yuanzheng beside her, "her sweetheart from her youth."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Wasn't that woman said to be Guo Yuanzheng's first love? How come another sweetheart appeared?
No, Lord Xiao Jiang and the others only said that the woman was Guo Yuanzheng's first love, but they didn't say that Guo Yuanzheng was the woman's first love.
Could it be that Guo Yuanzheng is actually...
Emperor Yuan was visibly excited, but he suppressed his excitement and waited for Mrs. Guo to answer his second question.
Guo Yuanzheng was confused. Wasn’t I her sweetheart when she was young?
Madam Guo continued, “She said that the reason she agreed to let me into the mansion was just to provoke that man so that he would understand her feelings.
Then, she won the bet, and the man came to find her. Although I was reluctant to let him go, I let him go. After all, I couldn't give her a happy life.
Guo Yuanzheng: Actually, there is no need to say the last sentence.
Emperor Yuan and everyone present, who had heard a lot from Xiaogua, subconsciously felt that the phrase "happy life"... had a deeper meaning.
Emperor Yuan coughed awkwardly, but before he could say anything, the Third Prince pressed on, "Wasn't her first love Guo Yuanzheng? How did another man appear?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Yuanzheng with sympathy.
Guo Yuanzheng: “…”
This look... isn't very good.
Mrs. Guo replied, "She said that the man she loved from the beginning to the end was that man. It was just that their two families were hostile to each other, so their relationship was destined to have no future. However, the two of them could not help but secretly interact with each other.
Later, one time, the two of them were caught by their parents while secretly meeting outside. She had no choice but to use Lao Guo, who was also present at the time, as a shield.
Guo Yuanzheng suddenly remembered some past events, and he seemed to know who that man was.
It seemed that because of that incident, he was disturbed by her sudden approach. After that, he became more and more interested in her, and even got engaged to her.
The Third Prince suppressed his laughter and asked, "So, Guo Yuanzheng is just a shield, not some first love?"
Everyone present: What level of injustice is this?
Mrs. Guo nodded. "Since then, her parents have allowed her to interact with Old Guo. She was powerless to resist, so she just let it go."
Unexpectedly, one day, Lao Guo came to cancel the engagement. She said that she was really happy that day.
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Everyone: "..."
Guo Yuanzheng: “…”
I thought she would be very sad and upset, and I blamed myself for it for a long time.
More importantly, in order to make up for the harm he had caused her, he made a huge amount of financial compensation to her family.
my money……
"It's just..." Mrs. Guo lowered her eyes dejectedly, "It's just that when she excitedly went to tell the man about this, she saw him bringing his new bride home..."
Emperor Yuan frowned. Is she still willing to go with that man?
The Duke of England shook his head, this woman is even more love-brained than His Royal Highness Prince Huan!
The fifth prince casually picked up a piece of dessert from the table and ate it. It was so pitiful that he lost both the sesame seeds and the watermelon.
The third prince didn't care about what happened to Guo Yuanzheng's first love. He just wanted to know why Guo Yuanzheng broke off the engagement.
So, he looked at Guo Yuanzheng and asked, "Guo Yuanzheng, why did you cancel the engagement?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on Guo Yuanzheng.
Yes, why did he want to break off the engagement?
