Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

As soon as the two of them left, An Jinshu and Gu Qingchen were the only ones left in the field. Sheng Huaian and the three looked at each other in confusion. An Jinshu intended to talk to Sheng Huaian alone, but Gu Qingchen had no intention of leaving at all. An Jin Shu secretly gritted his teeth and said to him with a smile on his face.

"Brother, aren't you going to entertain the guests?"

Gu Qingchen looked at her: "Sister, isn't she going too?"

An Jinshu: "......"

"You are the host of today's marriage banquet, so you should go to the banquet to socialize. Taking this opportunity to get to know the children of various aristocratic families will also be good for you." An Jinshu continued to smile.

Gu Qingchen replied to her lukewarmly: "Are you planning to become a hands-off shopkeeper?"

What does this mean? An Jinshu was helpless. Is this man a dog-skin plaster? Can't you see that she intends to push him away?

Just as she was about to open her mouth again, Gu Yao, who had been observing for a long time, came up hesitantly.

"Ms. An." She called out with some guilt, "Can you take a step to speak?"

This was the first time An Jinshu saw Gu Yao since the last incident in Wuqige. Compared with the glamorous girl back then, she looked haggard now. An Jinshu was stunned, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

"The princess?"

Gu Yao was afraid that she would refuse, so she hurriedly prayed and looked at her: "Is it okay? Just say a few words and I won't delay you."

An Jinshu looked at her and seemed to have something important to tell her, so he nodded.

Then she turned to look at Sheng Huaian and smiled lightly: "In that case, I will take the first step. Mr. Sheng, please do it yourself."

Sheng Huaian nodded, and after receiving a response, An Jinshu and Gu Yao walked away slowly, but did not see the dark-faced person behind them.

As soon as the person left, Gu Qingchen raised his eyes to look at Sheng Huaian. The cold look in his eyes made Sheng Huaian slightly startled. Then Sheng Huaian raised his hands and smiled at him: "My dear Sheng Huaian, I often heard Lord Protector mention Mr. Gu in his letters. When I saw him today, he was indeed a man." It is unique and unique, and has no other beauty in the world.”

"Compared with the number one scholar, I'm just a speck of dust. Mr. Sheng, please invite me." Gu Qingchen had no intention of saying some false compliments to him, and waved her hand as an invitation to sit down.

This move suited Sheng Huaian's wishes. He just didn't want to be alone with Gu Qingchen, so he made a gesture of invitation and the two of them walked side by side to the banquet.

Let's talk about An Jinshu. After leaving with Gu Yao, she followed Gu Yao to avoid crowded places and stopped in a pavilion at the side door of the courtyard.

"It's quiet here. Princess, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it?"

Gu Yao's eyes turned red and she burst into tears. An Jinshu was shocked, what was she doing?

She handed over the handkerchief: "Princess, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Gu Yao wiped her tears and smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions well."

Although An Jinshu had some grudge against Gu Yao due to the last incident, he could not blame her for that matter. Seeing her like this, An Jinshu frowned, feeling that what Gu Yao told her this time would not be that simple. .

"The princess has something to ask of me?" An Jinshu guessed with some uncertainty.

Gu Yao wiped away her tears and gave her an extremely ugly smile: "My father wants to betroth me to the son of the Minister of Household Affairs."

"Servant of the Ministry of Finance?" An Jinshu was horrified. As a prince, how could Prince Duan marry Gu Yao to a mere third-rank minister? How do you think about getting married like this?

An Jinshu looked at Gu Yao with a serious look on her face. She had never been in contact with people in Kyoto, so she didn't know what the son of the Minister of Household Affairs was like, but as a bystander, she would not interfere too much in other people's family affairs. , just said: "Although this Minister of Household Affairs feels a little wronged to you, if the other person has a noble character and respects the elderly and the virtuous, it might as well be a good home."

Gu Yao shook her head: "Sister An doesn't know something. Everyone sees that I am well-dressed and well-fed, but they actually don't know my suffering."

She sighed, her bright eyes no longer as bright as before.

"As a princess, I am sensible enough to know that I cannot make the decision on my own marriage, so I never dare to trust you with my sincerity. I am afraid that this will bring disaster to the family in the future."

"But..." An Jinshu thought about why you like Gu Qingchen, but she suddenly became speechless because she saw death in Gu Yao's eyes.

Such a wanton woman would obviously not act like this just because she wanted to marry the son of a minister. There must be something hidden in it.

"What's the problem with the son of the minister?" An Jinshu asked.

Gu Yao's face turned pale and she hesitated and nodded imperceptibly. Although the movement was slight, An Jinshu still saw it.

She asked: "Can you talk to me?"

If it were anyone else, An Jinshu wouldn't ask, but she still couldn't bear to see Gu Yao.

Although she grew up in Yangzhou City, she had no friends. She used to have a bad temper, and the women of the aristocratic family were afraid of appearing in the world with her. People who are close to red will be red and those who are close to ink will be black. What kind of people you play with will affect the world. What kind of reputation will it give you?

Later, when she was reborn, she didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip outside. What outsiders wanted to say was their business, not to mention that what outsiders said was indeed the truth and couldn't be quibbled with. She just had to do her best.

That's why An Jinshu was so moved when Gu Yao desperately put the children of the family under house arrest for her in Wuqi Pavilion and taught the drugged little maid on her behalf, and it was only when she hesitated for her own benefit that she felt so sad.

But no matter what she said, An Jinshu still wished good things to Gu Yao, so she felt compassion for him.

"If the other party is really down-to-earth and kind, I won't feel wronged by marrying him. But Sister An has never stayed in Kyoto and doesn't know the character of this minister of household affairs. He is extravagant, dissolute and full of evil. I am here I hated this person the most when I was in Kyoto, and I had a feud with him. My father knew it clearly, but he still insisted on marrying me to him... just because he said he would give me two thousand taels of gold to marry me. .”

Gu Yao's voice was choked with sobs, and she cried so hard that she seemed to have no hope for the future.

Just because of a few thousand taels of silver, you can push your child into the fire pit at will. Is this gold more important than family love?

If the Minister of Household Affairs is really what Gu Yao said, Gu Yao's marriage may not end well. After all, you can't expect a villain to treat you well. There may be other reasons for asking for marriage.

An Jinshu's eyes sank as he thought about something: "What's the festival between you and the son of the Minister of Household Affairs?"

Gu Yao wiped her tears with red eyes and sneered coldly: "Before coming to Yangzhou, I offended the beauty who was the son of the Minister of Household Affairs who was hiding outside. That bitch talked nonsense and blew the wind, and the libertine immediately spent money to send her money. After I escaped from a thief who robbed my carriage, I was so angry that I kicked the prodigal's lifeblood."

An Jinshu almost bit her tongue, so tough!

The Minister of Household Affairs was not only a libertine, but also despicable and filthy. He had no strong opinions and was soft-spoken. He didn't think he had much future.

The most important thing was that her life was injured. An Jinshu was speechless. If she wanted to marry such a person, it would be better to commit suicide by jumping into the river than suffer this insult.
