On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

"Wan'er."

Gu Xiuyan called out softly.

Rarely, Zhao Qingwan was very "rude" to Gu Xiuyan and ignored him.

The teardrop that was about to fall finally slid down from her eyes.

"Brother Gu..."

She looked stubborn.

Gu Xiuyan's heart tightened, his mind still dominated by the previous scene.

For some unknown reason, he blurted out, "Wan'er, when you rescued me before, I remember that my right leg was injured. Do you still remember what injured my right leg?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingwan's expression froze, and even her face became unnatural.

"Why did Brother Gu suddenly ask about this?"

Gu Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat.

Without showing it on his face, he spoke as if nothing had happened, "The weather has been bad recently, and my right leg has been aching. I asked a doctor for advice, and the doctor said that it was an old illness, and it was most likely related to the thing that injured my right leg that year."

"Right now, I don't know whether it was a branch, a stone, an arrow, or something else that hurt me, but the person who rescued me praised the little girl for being so careful and attentive at treating my wound so delicately."

Zhao Qingwan felt as if she was being stared at by a pair of eyes like sharp blades, making her whole body go hairy.

Gu Xiu Yansheng has a good appearance, but he is also the most annoying person to the Dali Temple Chief.

Many people could not survive the torture in his hands...

Originally, he just came to find Gu Xiuyan to take Gu Xiuyan's hand and teach Su Sui'an a lesson, but unexpectedly, Gu Xiuyan was obsessed with what happened that year.

His leg injury...

It wasn't her who handled it, so it would be strange if she knew about it.

"Maybe it was too long ago, Wan'er doesn't remember it clearly. I remember that the pain was dull, and it definitely wasn't caused by a sharp weapon." Gu Xiuyan took the initiative to provide clues to facilitate Zhao Qingwan's association.

Zhao Qingwan did not disappoint Gu Xiuyan and made up a story, "Your leg was pierced by a tree branch."

In order to make herself feel more at ease, she nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's right, I was pierced by a branch."

Gu Xiuyan's face changed, and the suffocating feeling of guilt in his sleep came over him again.

Wrong, wrong!!

His right leg was not injured at all.

Zhao Qingwan, really cheated him! !

Feeling nervous, Zhao Qingwan did not notice Gu Xiuyan's expression. She just lowered her head and complained to Gu Xiuyan, trying to use Gu Xiuyan to deal with Su Sui'an.

"Brother Gu, I was hurt so badly by Su Sui'an."

"Oh? How did Su Sui'an hurt you?"

It's like waking up suddenly from a beautiful dream. The real world is so cruel and unacceptable.

In the past, under the deception of Su Qishun's unremitting efforts, Gu Xiuyan found that this weak woman could arouse his pity in every way. However, once the truth was revealed, especially when he found out that this woman had the audacity to lie to him, he felt extremely disgusted.

Hearing Gu Xiuyan's cold tone, Zhao Qingwan became even more nervous, "She...she..."

"If you don't know what to say, then don't say it."

After that, Gu Xiuyan called Cong Ming over and said, "Send someone to send Miss Zhao back to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Since the news that Miss Zhao is engaged to the young master of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion has spread everywhere, regardless of whether the engagement really exists, Miss Zhao should not run around at this time."

Zhao Qingwan was stunned by this sudden change.

He was a kind and considerate man one moment, but the next moment he wanted to draw a line between them...

"Miss Zhao, if there is nothing else, let's leave it at that for now."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After finally catching up with Gu Xiuyan's carriage, Cong Ming saw that Gu Xiuyan was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed and resting.

Recalling the hurt look on Zhao Qingwan's face when he sent her away, he couldn't help but plead for her in the end.

"Master, haven't you always liked Miss Zhao..."

"Congming," Gu Xiuyan interrupted without any emotion before Congming finished speaking, "What should I do if I interfere too much in my master's private affairs?"

Realizing that he had overstepped his bounds, Cong Ming lowered his head and whispered, "Twenty strokes of the cane and a two-month salary deduction."

"Okay, go back and accept your punishment."

Being fined for no reason left Cong Ming completely confused.

"master?"

"After you accept the punishment, I will give you another chance to atone for your crime." Gu Xiuyan did not intend to give Congming a chance to ask questions, "Where is the second branch of the Changping Marquis's Mansion now?"

Congming knew that his master was angry, so he quickly replied, "In the Su Mansion on the outskirts of the city."

"Okay, let's go."

Go? Where?

Until now, Cong Ming still couldn't understand why his master's attitude changed so suddenly?

After returning to Duke Gu's Mansion, Gu Xiuyan didn't even bother to glance at Congming. He immediately asked Conghui to help prepare a generous gift, as he needed to go to Su Sui'an in person.

Although Cong Hui was just as confused as Cong Ming about why his master's attitude had changed so much, he still gave Gu Xiuyan a reminder, "Master, I remember that Miss Su likes you to wear moon-white clothes the most. Before, she seemed to have given you a moon-white brocade robe made of floating moon yarn."

Gu Xiuyan had no impression of the brocade robe, but that did not prevent him from remembering the joyful expression on Su Sui'an's face every time he gave him something.

"Quick, get it for me to change."

His desire to see Su Sui'an now reached its peak.

The scene in the dream had a huge impact on him. Since Zhao Qingwan had lied to him and she was Su Qishun's person, it was enough to show that Su Qishun knew about what happened that year.

Coincidentally, after Su Qishun gave the little girl's things to him, a theft happened in Su Sui'an's yard...

Considering the scene in his dream, he had to go see Su Sui'an no matter what.

At this time, Gu Xiuyan had already developed an almost perverted paranoia about the events of the past and the scenes in his dream...

He didn't want to be separated from the little girl from back then again.

After coming up with the idea, Gu Xiuyan also joined the ranks of those searching through his closet.

Cong Hui was once again surprised by the change in his master's attitude, but still said nothing.

Halfway through finding it, he stopped.

When he turned to look at Gu Xiuyan, his face was full of guilt.

"master..."

"What's wrong again?" Having gained nothing, Gu Xiuyan rarely showed an annoyed look.

"I suddenly remembered where that piece of clothing is..."

Cong Hui swallowed hard, and met Gu Xiuyan's impatient eyes. He lowered his voice and tried to reduce his presence. "The master didn't like Miss Su before, so when Miss Su gave the master clothes, the master gave them to me as a reward. I saw that the materials were precious, and I was worried that appearing in front of the master wearing the clothes would be an eyesore to the master, so I re-pawned the clothes, or pawned them to death."
