Chapter 396: Probe the Reality

nd propriety either Which well-connected family would allow their son to take a concubine before his legal wife has entered the household Which respectable woman would dare to marry him"Gu Jingxi nar..."My lord, where are you going"

Yu Chuan saw his master suddenly walk in another direction, he hurriedly chased after him and asked again, "Master Hou, are you going to the yamen Everyone else is asleep at this hour. Checking the yamen would be just right

Gu Jingxi said softly, "It's not necessary. You and Zhou Yun have both looked, I wouldn't find anything either."

Yu Chuan asked again, "My lord, where shall we go now"

It's late, I should go back and accompany my wife.Gu Jingxi glanced at him and continued, "You wouldn't understand, a man without a wife."

Yu Chuan: "..."

What did he do to provoke this

However, he did want to get married. But the girl he liked didn't like him; she liked another guy who seemed oblivious to her feelings, treating her only as a brother.

Gu Jingxi said in a soft voice, "If you don't take the initiative and say nothing, there will be no opportunities. "

As soon as he said this, Yu Chuan was so shocked that his eyes widened. He asked in disbelief, "My Lord, how did you know"

Gu Jingxi replied, "I have eyes."

Yu Chuan listened, fell silent for a moment, then let out a frustrated sigh and murmured softly: “He has eyes, how can he not see And she… she can’t see either.”

Gu Jingxi said: "The person in power is often blind, while the bystander is clear."

Yu Chuan was silent.

Gu Jingxi saw that he was dejected and asked, "Who does she like"

Yu Chuan: "I like him."

Gu Jingxi asked again, "Does he like her"

Yu Chuan shook his head. "I don't know.

Gu Jingxi helplessly said, "I didn't think you wouldn't ask"

Yu Chuan: "..."

But he just didn't dare to ask, he was scared.

Gu Jingxi said again, “After this case is settled, when you return to Beijing, if you both feel affection for each other, my wife and I will make the arrangements and let you get married.”

It sounds wonderful, but Yuchuan still felt it was difficult. Even if the wood didn't like her, she wouldn't necessarily like him either.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jingxi didn't want to get involved at first, but after some thought, she still said: "A man should be able to handle this kind of thing. What else do you want to achieve if you can't even handle this Either give up now or find out if they are truly in love. If they aren't, then try once more. Get the answer as soon as possible. If there is no result, just give up and forget about it. Don't torture yourself unnecessarily."

Yu Chuan replied, "This subordinate understands. Thank you, Lord, for your advice."

Upon returning to the Gu residence, Yu Chuan went straight to look for his rival – Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun was originally about to go to sleep when Yu Chuan came to find him. Zhou Yun thought he was going to tell him something useful, so he let him into the house to talk.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chuan stared at him for a long time, then took a deep breath and mustered his courage to directly ask: "Chaner likes you, do you like Chaner"

Zhou Yun, upon hearing this, her face turned subtle. She looked at him with strange eyes and helplessly rubbed her temples: "Which eye of yours saw that Chan'er likes me And where did you see that I would be interested in Chan'er"

Yu Chuan: "”

Zhou Yun didn't want to say anything more. He directly gave him the boot: "I think you have a screw loose, coming to me late at night and talking nonsense. Go back to bed! Don't stay up all night, or your lack of sleep will worsen your condition. Then you'll need to see a doctor for your brain. He then reached out and grabbed the man's collar, ready to throw him out.

Yuchuan said, "I think you're dense. Chan'er always sticks to you whenever she has time. If it's not because she likes you, what is it"

Zhou Yun paused, letting go of him. She sized him up and down, noticing the tension in his face and the nervousness in his eyes. In an instant, she seemed to understand something and smiled, "I think it's you who likes Chan'er, isn't it"

Yu Chuan's face stiffened, then he nodded. "I do like her, but she likes you. However, if you don't like her, then I'll pursue her."

Zhou Yun helplessly said, “The Marquis said that you sometimes have poor eyesight. I even spoke up for you. Now it seems like the Marquis was right. Which eye did you see that Chan'er likes me She bothers me during sparring and training, not because she likes me, but because she wants to defeat me.”

Yu Chuan was astonished: "She wants to defeat you"

Zhou Yun let out a light cough, easing the awkwardness: "A few years ago, I was too outspoken and said a couple of things to her. She took it personally and has been after me ever since. I've been training hard just so I can become her defeated subordinate."

Yu Chuan: “That’s all”

"Don't treat me as a rival. Zhou Yun directly stated his position, adding, "I have no romantic feelings for her. We only share the bond of siblings who grew up together. And she would never like me. If you don't believe me, you can try asking her."

Yuchen, after hearing this, was stunned and felt like he had made a blunder.

Zhou Yun yawned, having no interest in arguing with him further. She said dismissively, "Alright, go back to sleep. I don't know what suddenly got into you, coming to me at night to talk about love and romance like you've been possessed. It's creepy."

Yu Chuan retorted, "If you have the ability, don't talk about this for your whole life."

Zhou Yun blurted out, "I don't have the ability.

Yu Chuan: "..."

Zhou Yun said again, "You do well and make Chan'er feel that you are useful and reliable, you will definitely be able to marry the beauty. Now you can go back and think about how to perform, don't bother me sleeping."

Yu Chuan: "..."

Then, he would think of a way tomorrow to secretly make a mold of the key on Lord Wei's neck and bring it back so that Chan'er could have a good look at his abilities.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

The next day.

Lord Wei, upon "hearing" that Gu Jingxi was ill, specially brought gifts and visited him along with his wife, Mei Qingyun.

Meng Jinyang had heard about this from her husband early this morning and was mentally prepared. She cooperated well and even asked Qingqiu to paint her a haggard makeup look.

Upon hearing that Mr. Wei and his wife were coming to visit, she went to greet them with a haggard face full of sorrow.

Wei DaRen originally thought Gu JingXi was pretending to be sick, but now seeing Meng JinYao so haggard and with a troubled expression, he had some belief in her condition, but it wasn't complete.

He inquired with concern, “Madam Gu, we heard that Lord Gu was ill, so we came to visit. We wonder how Lord Gu is doing now”

Meng Jiny Yao lowered her eyes, the worry on her face deepening: "Thank you, Lord Wei and Lady Wei for your concern. The Marquis began to have a high fever yesterday. After taking medicine, he woke up after the fever subsided, but yesterday afternoon he relapsed into a high fever and has not yet come down."

"Madame Gu, I know a very skilled doctor. However, I'm not sure about Lord Gu's current condition. Perhaps I could take a look at him first and then consult that doctor If the doctor is confident, I will recommend him to you."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingyao's face lit up: "Really Then please come with me, Lord Wei and Lady Wei.

Lord Wei was surprised. He thought Meng Jin Yao, being young, would be easy to deceive. He'd come up with an excuse, and as long as Meng Jin Yao stopped him from seeing Gu Jing Xi, it would be clear she was pretending to be sick. Unexpectedly, Meng Jin Yao not only didn't stop him, but also took him to see Gu Jing Xi.

They followed Meng Jin Yao to a charming courtyard. After entering the house and then an inner room, they saw Gu Jing Xi lying unconscious on the bed.

Only to see Gu Jingxi's eyes closed, his face flushed red. It was a sign of high fever that wouldn't subside. He was even more astonished in his heart, never expecting that Gu Jingxi would actually be sick.ng gives you a monthly allowance every month, Miss, your expenses are large, and it's probably not enough.
