The King of War, he has a delicate body and a soft body

What he said was undoubtedly a blow to Lin Ruan'er's life, making her unable to accept it even if she wanted to.

really--

Lin Ruan'er's hand that subconsciously wanted to let go immediately tightened, and she firmly grasped the food handed over by Gu Yao in her palm.

But he didn't eat, he just kept a straight face, pursed his lips, and his eyes were a little red.

Those who didn’t know better thought it was a hunger strike.

Gu Yao couldn't help but sigh three times in his heart.

I thought if I didn't explain it to her now, it would only be more troublesome later.

Moreover, he had promised Jiang Yunluo before that he would take good care of her, so he had to continue patiently: "I know you don't want to go back, but hiding outside like this is not a long-term solution for you or me. I know You don’t want to marry me, but no one can say for sure whether you will meet the destined husband in the future. If you waste time hiding here and there, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?"

Lin Ruan'er's eyes flickered for a moment, and she turned her head slightly to look at him. Her expression seemed to say, "Do you still have a day to think about me?"

Knowing that she had been persuaded by him, Gu Yao hurriedly continued——

"My parents arranged the marriage with good intentions. If they saw that the two of us really couldn't get along, even if we got married, we would be in a state of chaos all day long, making the two families uneasy, I guess they wouldn't be too pushy. After this matter comes back, I will find a way to solve it, if nothing else works..."

He suddenly paused for a moment, wondering if he had really come up with a solution.

Then he swallowed the rest of his words and stuffed another steamed bun into her hand.

"In short, if you can go back with me safely this way, everything can be easily discussed. If it really can't be solved, it won't be too late to run out by then. What do you think? Anyway, you have gained experience this time. If you run again, It shouldn’t be difficult for you either.”

Lin Ruan'er's expression became a little more relaxed.

But I was still a little bit upset about not seeing Jiang Yunluo and Su Manman for the last time, and said depressedly: "I didn't even say goodbye to Sister Yunluo and Sister Manman..."

"Will have the opportunity next time."

Gu Yao knew that she had figured it out, so he said no more and turned around.

"Can we meet again in the future?"

Lin Ruan'er asked behind him.

"Although you and I are at odds,... if you have a chance to see them again, can you tell me? At worst, I won't go with you! Or... I'll pay you, and you can bring me a letter. How about it?"

After that, as if he was afraid that Gu Yao would not agree, he hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with the conflict between you and me. One code should be the same. You shouldn't be so petty, right?!"

Gu Yao turned his back to her, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then revealed a helpless smile on his lips.

It would be best if we could see each other again...

Reciting something silently in his mind, he raised his hand casually: "Let's talk about it then."

Lin Ruan'er didn't say anything more. When Gu Yao sat back down and looked over, she had already started eating obediently.

Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly lost his appetite.

I haven't been home for a long time...I don't know what's going on at home.

If we meet, we will get a slap in the face. Big brother, please be sure to stop me...

In the capital, the Gu family——

Gu Yannian was extremely anxious at this moment.

"Dad, please sit down first. All the shops under the Gu family's name are taxed according to law. I have personally inspected each one. There should be nothing wrong..."

Gu Qing followed Gu Yannian and saw that he had been walking around the room for a long time, so he wanted to persuade him to sit down first.

Gu Yannian waved his hand.

"No, this is wrong, it's wrong!"

When he came back from the palace yesterday, he felt uneasy and always felt that something had happened to Gu Yujin.

But now that I can't see anyone, I can only rely on guessing.

But before he could figure it out, an imperial edict came first, saying that someone had secretly reported that Yumen Villa had cooperated with several wealthy merchants who had close contacts to cover up each other and commit tax evasion, which angered Long Yan. He was furious and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly! ! !

They actually want to settle all the accounts in recent years! !

For a time, not only the Gu family, but also the Qi family and the Zhou family who were friends with the Gu family were inseparable!

The same is true for the Lin family who made the engagement!

"You and I know very well that Yumen Villa can't find anything wrong, but if the Qi family or the Zhou family makes a mistake, what if we say it was taught by our Yumen Villa?"

"There is no proof, how can you..."

Gu Qing subconsciously wanted to refute, but halfway through, he seemed to understand something.

The Yumen Villa has a great business, and being watched by others is not something that happens in a day or two.

This is not the first day that someone has handed Jiang Rongyuan all kinds of false accusations.

Why did it happen this time...

The answer is already obvious.

Whether Yumen Villa is at fault or not depends entirely on Jiang Rongyuan.

And the reason why he did this...

"Is it my aunt's side..."

Gu Qing looked at Gu Yannian hesitantly.

Gu Yannian shook his head.

"I don't know what happened on your aunt's end, but now it seems that you and I have to be mentally prepared..."

Gu Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, and there was a little more worry in his eyes.

Then suddenly: "Dad, Yao'er..."

"Yao'er can't come back!"

Gu Yannian was thinking the same thing as him, and his face was extremely ugly now.

Then he turned around and went to the table to pick up a pen.

"The situation is unclear at the moment. It is a good thing that he is not in the capital. I will write a letter now. You can send someone to send it to the people who went out to look for Yao'er. Ask him not to show up until the situation is stable. If something happens to the Gu family, …”

The tip of Gu Yannian's pen trembled for a moment.

Gu Qing hurried forward: "Dad, we are just checking the accounts now, the situation may not be..."

"But you must be on guard."

Even though he has never been an official in the court, his sense of smell has already become extremely sharp because of Gu Yujin.

Feeling that it might not be that simple this time, Gu Yannian took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "If something happens to the Gu family, Gu Yao will already be running away from his marriage, and he will no longer be a descendant of my Gu family, and will have nothing to do with the Gu family."

Gu Qing lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

Gu Yannian added: "I will send another letter to Divine Doctor Lu now. You can pack up and set off. Tell the public that you are seeking medical treatment..."

"father!"

Unexpectedly, he planned to stay alone. Gu Qing interrupted him abruptly and said resolutely: "I'll stay!"

Gu Yannian was startled: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing bent his knees and knelt down in front of Gu Yannian!

"If dad insists on sending me away, I won't be able to kneel here forever!"

"You! Why are you doing this..."

Gu Yannian's eyes were full of pain, and he hurried forward to help him, but Gu Qing was resolute and refused to get up.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally——

"Hey……"

Gu Yannian knew his character, so he sighed again and said helplessly: "Get up..."

Gu Qing looked relieved, then stood up and took the letter to Gu Yao from his hand.

"Yao'er is lively by nature. Letting him inherit the family business is probably going to kill him. In that case, let's be more free..."

In the past few years, Gu Yao had been running around a lot for his legs.

Now, it's his turn to be the big brother.
