The noble ladies who witnessed this scene were all surprised. It was the first time they saw the gentle and elegant Chu Hexuan openly arguing with the daughter of an official regardless of the occasion.

The public opinion suddenly turned to one side, and people believed that Gu Qingzhi must have done something to make Chu Hexuan lose his mind.

Zhao Luoshu frowned. So many troubles had occurred one after another at the wedding banquet, which made her feel uneasy.

She put down the teacup in her hand heavily, and the scene fell silent instantly. The noble ladies realized that she was a little unhappy, and they all held their breath, not daring to even breathe.

Chu Hexuan suddenly realized that he had been rude, and immediately bowed and apologized:

"Princess, I offended you unintentionally. I have my reasons. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhao Luoshu admired him because of his good looks and smiled:

"Mr. Chu, this is a place for noble ladies to rest. Why did you come here suddenly and get entangled with Gu Qingzhi? "

Chu Hexuan subconsciously glanced at Song Wanyin, and in order to restore his image in her heart, he reported truthfully:

"Princess, I was fooled and lost all my face. I was overwhelmed and offended all the noble ladies. I am deeply ashamed."

Song Wanyin sat there calmly, remaining silent, watching them wrestle with their grievances and love-hate relationship.

Right now, I can ask someone else for help and give Gu Qingzhi a good blow to her arrogance.

Gu Qingzhi was worried that it would cause a big joke, thus upsetting the princess and affecting her brother's promotion, so she immediately explained:

"Princess, there is a small misunderstanding between me and Master Chu. It is really difficult to talk about it."

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Chu Hexuan simply gave up and said sternly:

"Miss Gu, I didn't misunderstand you.

You stole my jade pendant, which is the most important thing to me. Please return it to me."

Gu Qingzhi subconsciously touched the jade pendant in her arms, her expression complicated as she quickly thought of a countermeasure.

When I was struggling with him just now, he was trying hard to get rid of me.

In desperation, she could only secretly take away Chu Hexuan's personal jade pendant and force him to come to her on his own initiative.

In this way, she would have the opportunity to explain the facts to Chu Hexuan and hope to reconcile with him.

However, the situation developed in another direction, as he arrived too quickly.

Zhao Luoshu never liked people who were not clean, so she questioned:

"Gu Qingzhi, is what Master Chu said true?

You are a descendant of a military family, how could you do such a petty theft?"

Gu Qingzhi was about to explain when she accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, causing the jade pendant in her arms to fall out and break at one corner.

Now, all the noble ladies present confirmed this scene. They could not believe that a descendant of a general would do such a despicable thing.

Chu Hexuan rushed forward and carefully picked up the jade pendant. He found that a corner was missing and his ears turned red with anger.

“Miss Gu, you’re going too far.

You have been pestering me before, and have been snatching calligraphy and paintings from other people in an attempt to win my favor.

Later, you became more and more outrageous, spreading rumors and making trouble outside, insisting that you and I were in love and that you would not marry anyone else.

A girl's reputation is as important as her life, but you are willing to sacrifice your own reputation and force me to marry you for your own selfish reasons.

I have told you firmly that I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, but you still keep pestering me.

Now, you have destroyed the relics left by my grandfather with your own hands. How can I not hate you?"

When these words were spoken, all the noble ladies present were shocked. They all condemned Gu Qingzhi's actions, pushing her to the forefront.

Gu Qingzhi was speechless for a moment, rushed forward and grabbed Chu Hexuan's arm, begging humbly:

"Brother Hexuan, don't hate me, you can't hate me.

I love you so much, with all my heart.

If you hate me, what's the point of me living?

My eldest brother used this kind of persistent method to pursue Song Wanyin.

Why do things become so strange when it comes to me? "

Zhao Luoshu saw that she had no shame. She didn't expect the rumors were wrong. The brother and sister of the Gu family were really birds of a feather, both shameless people.

"I don't want to ask about your private affairs, but you have disrupted my wedding day, and I will not let this go."

After saying that, he stood up and left the table with a gloomy face. Before leaving, he glared at Gu Qingzhi fiercely.

Seeing that the eldest princess was unhappy, the noble ladies all pointed the finger at Gu Qingzhi, believing that she had ruined the eldest princess's mood.

Song Wanyin then stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Chu Hexuan:

"County Master, please stay."

Song Wanyin lowered her eyes and said indifferently:

"Mr. Chu, what do you want?"

Chu Hexuan was so ashamed that he bowed and apologized:

"I didn't know that those famous paintings and calligraphy originally belonged to the county lady, and I just showed them off in front of her without any shame.

Tomorrow, I will personally go to the county lady's house to apologize and return those famous paintings and calligraphy to their original owners."

Song Wanyin nodded slightly and glanced at Gu Qingzhi, who was jumping up and down in front of her like a monkey. She ignored her and walked away.

From a distance, I could still hear Gu Qingzhi's angry voice behind me:

"Brother Hexuan, is it possible that the person you like is Song Wanyin?

Do you know that she is the abandoned woman my eldest brother divorced? What good is she?"

Chu Hexuan retorted coldly:

"The county lady is a truly well-educated and well-mannered woman, and you are a complete shrew. There is no comparison between the two of you.

I advise you to take care of yourself. You will never be able to marry into our Chu family in your lifetime."

As soon as Song Wanyin walked to the table, she was surrounded by princes and nobles, who began to flatter her and show their courtesy.

She knew very well that the reason these princes and nobles kept haunting her was not for any other reason but because they coveted her property.

After all, the shops under her name were famous for their prosperous business in Shangjing City. Whoever married her would be marrying a mountain of gold.

The princes and sons of the royal family wanted to win the beauty's smile, so they began to present her with treasures, including gold armbands, agate rings, white jade hairpins, gemstone earrings, jadeite bracelets, and Hetian white jade, hoping that she would like them.

Suddenly, a tall and mighty figure teleported in front of Song Wanyin, a pair of dark eyes, as deep and bottomless as a deep pool, staring straight at her.

"Wan Yin, they are not good people. Only I am worthy of you."

Song Wanyin frowned, and when she saw Gu Qingchen's face, she felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly, and sneered:

"Gu Qingchen, you have offended many people with this sentence."

The princes and nobles were still resentful of what he had just said, and looked at him with contempt, not taking him seriously at all.

"Isn't this the former Marquis Gu? Since they have already divorced, why is he still haunting the county lady?"

"What Lord Gu? He is now just a mere Zhenwei Captain and a subordinate of my father, yet he is still as arrogant as before."

"Gu Qingchen, since you didn't know how to cherish this treasure of the county lady before, it may not be so easy to pick it up now."
