Chapter 385: Front Edge (54)
Chapter 385: Front Edge (54)
Ah, she is indeed beautiful, kind-hearted and has a sweet voice. The young man thought and just laughed it off, without any embarrassment or anger at being laughed at.
After the guy who was looking for trouble gave the younger brother a warning, he sat back down. This round seemed like he was testing the younger brother's abilities.
So when Qiao Wenjin, the center of attention, appeared, the highlight waiting for the young man began.
After helping the young man fend off several waves of malicious attacks, he began to approach the young man in a harmless manner.
It is indeed easy to let down one's guard when such a handsome and elegant person comes to help.
Isn't this Qiao Wenjin's usual method? First, he schemes against others insidiously, and then he steps forward to play the role of a good person. Ling Chuan gritted his teeth, and his dark eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.
However, Qiao Wenjin was destined to hit a wall this time. The young man knew his character well, and when he saw that he kept trying to get close to him, he pretended to be at a loss and spoke in a daze.
Even if Qiao Wenjin tried to trick him, he would answer timidly, but the content of his answers was flawless.
Qiao Wenjin's expression was a little stiff, but he couldn't let his character fall apart, so he could only take advantage of no one's attention to glance at the lackey who couldn't even provide accurate information. Oh, that was the first person who picked trouble with the young man.
The young man caught a glimpse of it and held up the teacup to cover the slightly raised corners of his lips.
After the banquet, the young man also left with the others. But when he was about to get on the carriage, Yu Shuche's servant came to him and said that their princess wanted to see him.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, said something to the person "he" sent to protect him, then followed the servant and got on Yu Shuche's carriage.
"Doctor Ozawa is truly amazing. When we last met, you've become the general's wife." Inside the carriage, Yu Shuche stared at the young man and said with a smile.
The young man smiled and did not feel shy after knowing Yu Shuche's identity as the princess. He remained calm and composed.
"It was Master Yu. I was so scared that I almost forgot where I was and lost my composure on the spot. Now I should call you Princess."
Yu Shuche said, "I didn't realize that. To be honest, if Xie Yu hadn't mentioned you to us, we probably wouldn't have known that you had come to the capital, and that you were the general's wife who has been the subject of much criticism recently."
"It can't be helped. A woman follows her husband." The young man looked helpless, and then half-jokingly said, "It's normal for an ordinary duck to be excluded when it suddenly breaks into a group of noble swans."
Yu Shuche smiled even more when he heard this, "The general's wife is such an interesting person. Oh, if you had followed us, I could have taken care of you."
The young man shook his head, "That won't work. If I go with you, I won't be able to meet my Ah Chuan again."
Yu Shuche showed an expression that said I knew it would be like this, and then his smile faded, and his expression became slightly serious and earnest.
"The capital is not the same as before. General Ling is surrounded by dangers. You must be careful. Don't just look at the appearance of a person. Some people are Buddhas in front of others, but evil behind their backs."
Facing Yu Shuche's reminder, the boy's eyes froze for a moment, and then were slowly smoothed over by the warm smile: "Thank you, Princess, for your reminder. I will pay attention to it."
"That's good." Yu Shuche stopped there and then chatted with the young man for a few more words before leaving.
There were other people who saw the young man getting on Princess Xian's carriage, but most of them were hesitant and wait-and-see. After all, the general's wife was just a farm boy who was not worthy of being in a hall of fame. What was there to make friends with?
In this regard, Qiao Wenjin, who had personally taken action, wanted to slap these blind people in the face to wake them up. These people were not ordinary people at all, they were clearly masters of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
Since she couldn't get any information from them and she saw that "she" valued the young man, Qiao Wenjin wanted to destroy the young man and make "she" regret going against them.
Faced with his conspiracies and tricks, the young man was able to counter each move with his own tactics. Of course, there were times when he was helpless and at the mercy of others, but fortunately, with the help of Yu Shuche, he was able to escape danger.
After failing to drug him and accuse him of a crime, Qiao Wenjin even had someone spread rumors, saying that the person she truly loved was actually him, and that she had to marry him because he saved her life...
Ling Chuan's stomach churned and he felt extremely sick. Such a person was not even as good as a hair of the young man.
"I" was afraid that my brother would really believe these rumors in the market, so I ran back anxiously to tell him that it was absolutely not the case. I said that Qiao Wenjin was the eldest prince's man, they were mortal enemies, and he had plotted against me and almost killed me twice.
The young man was amused and helpless, saying that this little trick could not fool him, and asked "himself" to relax and learn to trust each other.
"I" nodded repeatedly, apologized to the young man, and told him a not-so-good news, saying that there was some progress in finding the person.
"Found it?" The young man opened his eyes slightly, with a look of joy on his face.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be him, but..."
"Don't mention it, just one thing, is he married? Has he let Sister Yingying down?" the young man asked.
"I" was silent for a while, then couldn't help but say: "I married him, but he is dead. It was just a coincidence that I found him. He was not in the capital, but in Yuancheng. He went to the capital to take the imperial examination because he applied for it."
When the young man heard that he had married, he became furious and looked angry.
"Damn Gu Wenlang, how dare he treat Sister Yingying like this! He is so hateful! No, this cannot be told to Sister Yingying. Being unfaithful once is never worth it! Just treat him as dead!" said the young man with clenched fists.
"Okay, we won't tell her. Calm down. I'll go and deal with him and help you and Miss Yingying vent your anger."
"Then don't beat him to death. Be clean. There are a lot of people watching you now." The young man frowned and warned.
"it is good."
Ling Chuan looked at the two people leaning against each other, and seemed to think about what Zhao Xier said, and thought that the young man's idea might be in vain.
Although he didn't think that Liu Yingying had brought her mother to Beijing to look for someone, one thing was that the two of them would definitely be in touch, otherwise that woman Zhao Xier wouldn't be so uneasy and wouldn't want to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Subsequent developments indeed verified Ling Chuan's guess, because Liu Yu found the young man and excitedly said that he had found Gu Wenlang.
The young man's expression darkened and he couldn't be happy at all. After all, he had planned to write a letter to Liu Yingying, saying that Gu Wenlang had died in a foreign land.
"How did you find him?" The young man waited until Liu Yu's excitement had passed before asking, "Did you meet him?"
Liu Yu exclaimed, looked at the boy, seemed to finally realize that the boy's reaction was abnormal, and replied to him with confusion.
"He came to my pharmacy to get medicine. You don't know, his face was blue and purple, and swollen like a pig's head. I didn't recognize him, and he called out my name."
Younger brother: “…”
Lingchuan: "......"
