Chapter 517 The Gloomy Boy and the Crybaby Miss 19
*
Yun Wu blinked twice in confusion, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Threatening Gu Xingran? She? She threatened Gu Xingran?
Yun Wu felt that the lady in front of her thought too highly of her. How could she possibly coerce Gu Xingran?
Seeing Yun Wu didn't say anything, Yan Ruo thought that she had hit the nail on the head. She couldn't help but slightly raised her chin and continued to speak righteously:
"I heard that Miss Yun even made General Gu wait for several hours at the gate of the mansion on a snowy day. The general had just returned to the capital that day and was exhausted from the long journey. How could you be so cruel?"
Yan Ruo deliberately raised her voice a little, as if she wanted everyone around her to hear it.
Yun Wu was born with a beautiful and delicate appearance. Although she had a weak temper, she was not the kind of person who would just stand there stupidly and be manipulated by others.
"How do you know that I forced him to wait at the gate of the mansion, and not that he wanted to wait?"
"How could General Gu do such a thing? You must have coerced him."
Yan Ruo snorted coldly. She didn't notice Gu Xingran's increasingly gloomy expression at all. She even opened her arms to block Gu Xingran.
Yun Wu still had the cake in her hand. She took a bite helplessly and then said:
"If General Gu came to see me because I was forcing him, then he should not appear in front of me again in the future. Is Miss Yan satisfied with this?"
A hint of joy appeared on Yan Ruo's face. She turned to Gu Xingran and gave him a smile that she thought was very healing. Then she said:
"General Gu, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let her bully you again."
"Go away."
There was obvious irritation in Gu Xingran's voice, and his dark eyes were fixed on Yan Ru, as if he was looking at an enemy.
Yan Ruo was stunned. She noticed that the people around her looked at her with mocking eyes.
She still had some hope in her heart and stood in front of Gu Xingran.
"I'm here to help you. How could she do this to you..."
"Get out of my way."
Gu Xingran's voice was full of gnashing teeth, and his fierce dark eyes made Yan Ru tremble.
She was unable to react for a moment and still stood in front of Gu Xingran.
He didn't want to say anything more, so he kicked Yan Ru in the side of the knee in front of everyone.
"what!"
Yan Ru fell to the side all of a sudden, and the pearl hairpins in her hair were a little messy.
"Miss!"
Her personal maid hurried forward to help Yan Ru up. When Yan Ru got up awkwardly, she saw Gu Xingran standing beside Yun Wu, looking a little nervous and helpless.
"Don't listen to her. I'm willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes, as long as you are willing to see me..."
Gu Xingran stood in front of Yun Wu with a somewhat helpless look in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Yun Wu would really not want to see him again.
The vicious look just now disappeared completely.
Yan Ruo stared at Gu Xingran in a daze, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Gu Xingran could clearly hear the conversation in her mind with the man who claimed to be "the system".
"System, why is this villain male second acting like this? Doesn't he say he needs someone to save him? I'm clearly helping him."
Gu Xingran felt that he did not need to be saved by others, because the person who could save him had already appeared a long time ago.
He looked at Yun Wu and clenched his hands slightly, as if he was afraid that what this crazy woman said would really affect the marriage between him and Awu.
The gazes of the people around her made Yun Wu feel a little embarrassed, so she had to move closer to Gu Xingran and lower her voice and said:
"I was just saying that. Don't cry or make a scene or hang yourself in front of the Yun Mansion. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by others..."
Yun Wu said in a low voice, and Gu Xingran's expression relaxed a little, and his pair of dark eyes stared straight at Yun Wu.
Yan Ru was supported by her maid, staring at Gu Xingran and Yun Wu in a daze. Soon she heard the discussions of others.
"How could this Miss Yan be so rude? General Gu and Miss Yun are already engaged, why is she trying to stir up trouble..."
"Yeah yeah……"
Yan Ruo's face looked unhappy. Seeing this, the maid beside her boldly said to Yun Wu:
"My young lady is just being kind and is afraid that the general will be bullied. Miss Yun, why did you let General Gu use force against my young lady? If the minister were here, he would definitely punish you!"
Oh, both the master and the servant are blind, right?
Most of the people watching on the side thought the same thing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this matter had nothing to do with Yun Wu, so how could it be Yun Wu's fault?
At this moment, two men suddenly walked in.
"I would like to see what crime the Shangshu Mansion wants to punish you for."
The person who came was the current crown prince, and behind him followed Pei Yin, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince."
The people around her bowed and saluted. Yun Wu had never thought that she would be able to meet the prince one day, so she quickly imitated other women and saluted.
The prince was a handsome young man. Pei Yin seemed to be about the same age as Yun Wu. Both of them were handsome, attracting the attention of the women around them.
The prince frowned slightly and looked at Yan Ruo, then said solemnly:
"I saw everything that happened just now. Miss Yan was too reckless and had no rules. And you, a servant, dared to speak to the future general's wife like this. You are committing a crime of disrespect."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was just anxious for a moment..."
Yan Ru quickly leaned forward and half-knelt, secretly cursing the feudal dynasty in her heart. She was being pointed at just because she said a few words.
Pei Yin couldn't help but frown slightly. He also knew this Yan Ruo.
At first, the Shangshu Mansion intended to make Yan Ru the Crown Prince's consort, but she seemed particularly resistant, and Pei Yin was somewhat indifferent to the marriage, so the marriage was shelved.
"Someone, please ask Miss Yan to leave."
The prince looked away and spoke coldly, and soon a eunuch came forward. Yan Ruo glanced at Gu Xingran, but Gu Xingran didn't even look at her.
She gritted her teeth and had to leave under everyone's gaze.
Because of the presence of the prince, no one else dared to say anything and just continued to drink and chat among themselves.
"Xingran, is this the person you like?"
A smile appeared on the prince's face, and his eyes shifted back and forth between Gu Xingran and Yun Wu.
He particularly admired young generals like Gu Xingran who were brave and resourceful. When Gu Xingran entered the palace that day, he chatted with him for a long time.
"Yes."
Gu Xingran bowed and responded naturally. Yun Wu lowered her eyes and suddenly felt her ears burning.
Originally, Pei Yin was following behind the prince and could not see Yun Wu beside Gu Xingran. It was only when he took a step forward that he could see her face clearly.
"It's you?"
