After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Yuan was so busy every day that she had to complete tasks and take care of the family, and she didn't notice the passage of time at all.

When Tao Zhu brought the clothes that Yuehui Pavilion had prepared for her, she suddenly realized that so much time had passed.

"Miss, these clothes and jewelry were sent by Miss Liu."

Nangong Yuan nodded and put away the gun: "Well, give them the money."

"But she refused, saying that we were friends and these things were just small gifts."

Nangong Yuan felt helpless about this, but did not refuse.

"Forget it. If she insists, let her go."

Originally, Nangong Yuan was unwilling to take advantage of others, but now it seems that Liu Qingyue is not a petty person, but rather very generous. If she refuses again, it would seem a little strange.

"Yes, put that thing here. We have to get up early tomorrow. Miss, don't practice yet. Go wash up and have a rest."

The children that Nangong Yuan brought back these days have made great progress and can now do the horse stance quite well.

Especially Shu Lian, he looks like a teenager, with a thin and slender figure, and seems to have some martial arts skills.

With Nangong Yuan's guidance, he made rapid progress and is now able to carry out missions independently.

Nangong Yuan had some doubts about his identity, but Shu Lian was an orphan and had been in exile, so there was no clue to be found.

"Miss, shall I go with you tomorrow?"

Shu Lian handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face, his expression very calm.

"No need, just stay home and do your own things, I'll go."

These people have not grown up yet, and taking them out rashly will probably only cause problems.

"Yes."

Shu Lian lowered his head in disappointment, and soon the group dispersed.

"There will be quite a lot of people coming to the poetry gathering tomorrow."

Tao Zhu collected the information and showed it to her.

"Well, it seems that most of the young men and women in Kyoto will go there."

That would be interesting. Nangong Yuan just wanted to see if this group of people could dominate the development of the plot.

The next day.

Nangong Yuan got up early in the morning, dressed up, and arrived at Chi Garden before noon.

Because the last flower banquet encountered an assassin, resulting in heavy losses of female members of the family, all banquets since then have been held in Kyoto.

Chiyuan is located in a farm in the western suburbs. It has beautiful scenery and is very safe.

When Nangong Yuan arrived, many people were already here.

"Miss Nangong, this way please."

The maid inside was dressed very elegantly, wearing a light green long skirt, which looked very comfortable.

Nangong Yuan followed him in, walked past pavilions and towers, and found that someone was already reciting poems and composing couplets.

"Please sit wherever you like. If you need anything, just call me."

She waved her hand and sat down in a secluded place.

"Miss, Chiyuan is even more elegant and beautiful than the villa we saw last time."

Nangong Yuan looked around and said, "This place was given by His Majesty in the previous dynasty, and the Chi family renovated it, so of course it looks good."

Extravagance is prevalent in Kyoto, but the Chi family is an exception.

They come from a scholarly background and are honest people, so they rarely hear any bad rumors.

Besides, the girls of the Chi family have never been concubines. Their family is of noble origin and they do not take concubines. There are countless girls who want to marry into their family.

After all, it's a good idea to think about it. By marrying into his family, not only will I not have to compete with concubines, but I will also have what women value most, a lifelong couple. The Chi family has always been a popular choice in the eyes of these women.

Most of the girls who came today came for the eldest son of the Chi family.

This person works in the Hanlin Academy. I believe he will be sent out for some experience in a few years. After he comes back, he will definitely join one of the Six Ministries and his position will not be low.

"Sister, the color of your dress today is really beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

A few girls came over slowly and discussed the clothes she was wearing.

"Don't you know? There's a new store in Kyoto called Yuehui Pavilion. The materials and styles there are new and the clothes are really nice. I went there specifically to buy some."

Speaking of this, Nangong Yuan became interested.

The fabrics of the clothes Liu Qingyue gave her this time were all the latest on the market, and each one was beautiful.

But she came this time for other purposes and didn't want to stand out too much, so she wore something simpler.

"Really? The new store is doing so well? I have to go and take a look."

A few people gathered together to talk and laugh from time to time, and the people watching were in a good mood.

Nangong Yuan took a few sips of tea and waited patiently.

"The Prime Minister is here!"

"Really? Master Chi and the Prime Minister are here today."

Under everyone's surprised or shy gaze, Gu Zian slowly appeared.

After not seeing him for such a long time, he seemed to be calmer, and the aura between his eyebrows and eyes that kept people at a distance was even stronger.

Nangong Yuan took a bite of the dessert and thought to herself, "What's wrong with this person? He has such an expression even when he's in love. It's weird."

She thought Gu Zian could at least change his gender. After all... the relationship between the male and female protagonists is very important.

If he really likes Liu Qingyue so much, there should be some changes.

However, this change does not seem to be in a cheerful direction.

She ate the melon while looking at the expressions of the people around her.

Some are happy and some are sad. After all, Gu Zian is too difficult to approach. Even if others are brave enough, they still have to think twice before doing so.

"You don't have to be polite, everyone. Today's poetry gathering is just for fun. Please take a seat."

The eldest son of the Chi family, Chi Yu, is a gentle and elegant person with a noble temperament. Even when standing next to Gu Zian, he does not seem to be shorter than him.

There were a few people standing behind him, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the young masters and ladies of the Chi family.

There are only five or six of them, which is really too few compared to other families which may have more than a dozen sisters and brothers.

"Everyone, have some refreshments first. When everyone is here, we will start the poetry reading."

Chi Yu let them play by themselves while he talked to Gu Zian.

"I see you look bad these days, what problems have you encountered?"

Gu Zian is a very capable person and has a very good relationship with the Chi family.

Besides, they are of the same generation and can talk to each other.

"They are all small things, no big problems."

"Then why do you look so unhappy? If there is something wrong, don't hide it to yourself."

Chi Yu held a bamboo leaf folding fan in his hand, and his wide-sleeved long robe made him look particularly unrestrained and uninhibited, which is the most popular outfit among literati nowadays.

"I...it's okay. It can be solved."

Chi Yu met him like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and couldn't help but sigh: "You, how can you always be so dull? Look at the girls who came today, which one didn't come for your reputation? If it were me, you should find a girl to marry, so as not to have a cold face all day long."

If you don’t know, you might think someone has offended him.

Gu Zian said nothing after hearing this.
