Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu Yichuan's face was cold, "Otherwise, how could a humble Gu be favored by the princess?"

Princess Yongjia pretended to be sad and sighed, "Don't you know that when I first saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight? I still remember that although you were dressed in white, you were not servile or afraid of me. You spoke passionately and argued with reason, and you protected a child you didn't know with all your strength. At that time, I thought you were very courageous, and you were born with such a handsome appearance. It's a pity that you are from a poor family and your status is indeed not worthy of me."

"But now it's different. You've already been the top scorer in the imperial examination, and you're even qualified to be Princess Shang. It's not a disgrace for me to marry you. Do you know how happy I am after meeting you again? Moreover, what I want now is a humble family, so naturally I must have you..."

She said the last sentence very softly, and Gu Yichuan and Shen Nankui did not hear it.

"Gu is already married, so I am not worthy of the princess's love. Please spare me."

Gu Yichuan remained silent.

Princess Yongjia glanced at him indifferently, "You don't have to remind me all the time that I can divorce my wife even if I'm married. I don't mind it at all, so why are you still so hesitant?"

Gu Yichuan was furious, "Princess, why do you have to force me?"

"Your stubbornness makes me like you even more."

After Princess Yongjia said this, she suddenly looked at Shen Nankui.

"You are Gu Lang's wife, right? Logically, I should call you sister, Sister Shen. I am here to show my courtesy."

He said he was greeting, but he didn't even nod his head.

Shen Nankui suppressed his grievances and bowed politely before saying, "Yichuan and I are husband and wife who have sworn to heaven and earth. May I ask, my lady, why did you say that?"

"I want to marry Gu Lang, so you should give way to me. Do you still want to share a husband with me?"

Before Shen Nankui could reply, she sneered again, "But are you worthy?"

Shen Nankui took a deep breath, "The princess ruined someone's marriage and forced the emperor's disciple to divorce his wife and marry another. If this behavior were to spread, I wonder if King Jing would still be able to bear the title of the virtuous king?"

Princess Yongjia's eyes flickered, but she smiled.

"Don't worry about my father's reputation."

She suddenly stood up, walked to Shen Nankui, and looked at her with a little surprise.

"What I am more curious about is, what method did you use to escape from my people and make them search for you in vain?"

Shen Nankui replied with her original words, "You don't have to worry about that, Princess."

Hearing this, Princess Yongjia smiled instead of getting angry, "Okay, you are indeed someone that Gu Lang likes, and you are not a vulgar person. I sent someone to Cang County to invite you, and I wanted to bring you to this small courtyard. Now that you are here by yourself, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Shen Nankui's lips were filled with sarcasm. "The princess wants to see me. Is it because she can't impress my husband and wants to find a breakthrough from me? Then you are wrong. The love between us is stronger than gold. There is no possibility of compromise!"

Princess Yongjia's expression suddenly turned cold, "He is a smart person, but what he said is annoying!"

She turned away and sat back in the main seat. She stared at the two of them gloomily for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"I am touched by your unity as a couple, but I will never let go of something I want. I came here today to negotiate terms with you. Why don't you two listen first?"

She waved her hand and said, "Qiao Yue, bring the snacks I packed back from Mu Ying Building to Sister Shen."

Qiao Yue walked forward respectfully and placed the snacks in the food box in front of Shen Nankui one by one.

Princess Yongjia smiled and said, "I know that my sister must have not eaten anything good during the past two days on the road. When I heard that you came here, I asked someone to go to Muying Tower to bring you these snacks as an apology. I hope you like them. Sister, please try them."

Shen Nankui did not move. "What virtue or ability have I had to make the princess treat me so rudely and respectfully, using both soft and hard tactics?"

Princess Yongjia smiled faintly, "Who asked me to ask you for help?"

Shen Nankui looked calm, shook her head and said, "It's a pity that my husband and I have already agreed to be loyal to each other. If he doesn't betray me, I will never betray him. No matter what conditions the princess offers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fulfill them."

"presumptuous!"

Princess Yongjia's face turned pale with anger, and she suddenly slammed her palm on the table, "How dare you speak to me like this?"

Gu Yichuan hurriedly stood in front of Shen Nankui and said, "Princess Yongjia, this is my home. You came here uninvited, destroyed my house first, and repeatedly threatened me. As the princess, can you do whatever you want?"

Princess Yongjia's face was grim, and she said slowly: "Gu Yichuan, do you really not care about the lives of the other five members of the Gu family? I heard that your nephew and niece are only eight years old now, and they are very smart. If something unexpected happens to them, it will be a pity."

Gu Yichuan's pupils shrank, "You said you wouldn't take anyone's life lightly!"

Princess Yongjia laughed ostentatiously, "I did say that, it's true. How could I, a princess, do something that violates the law? But no one can guarantee that your family won't get into an accident, right?"

"You! How dare you!" Gu Yichuan's eyes were red and he was extremely angry.

"Gu Lang," Princess Yongjia blew the newly painted nail polish leisurely, "I love you deeply. I didn't care about your disrespect to me in the past, but this time, it's my last choice for you. If you agree to marry me, I promise not to touch anyone in the Gu family. Even Shen, I am willing to give her a large sum of money so that she can live a worry-free life for the rest of her life. As for you, as long as you have the Jing Palace, you can rise to the top in your official career. What's wrong with that?"

"But if you still don't agree..."

Princess Yongjia glanced at Shen Nankui, then looked at Gu Yichuan, "Anything you care about, I will destroy it!"

She could not bear to see her dignity as a princess being trampled upon by a man again and again.

Gu Yichuan was shocked and angry, "You are so vicious! You..."

Princess Yongjia interrupted impatiently, "Gu Yichuan, you have time to talk about this. I advise you to think about it carefully. I will give you three days. There is no need to rush."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Nankui again.

"Now, I have to settle the score with you, what will happen if you disrespect this princess!"

Gu Yichuan stood in front of Shen Nankui and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
