Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Qilan? He still remembered this name. She was the personal maidservant of Ali's younger sister.

Gu Luoheng let out a light breath, his eyes flickered slightly and he lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in his eyes, then he spoke softly.

"Did Ali ask you to come to me? But what's the matter?"

"My lady asked me to give this to you. By the way, I have a question. There have been a lot of rumors in Beijing lately saying that Master Gu is in love with the daughter of the Imperial Censor, Master Shen. I heard that several princesses in the palace have also long admired Master Gu."

Qilan tilted her head and looked at him for a few seconds before pushing the box on the table towards him, snorting in deliberate dissatisfaction.

But remembering the mischievous look in the young lady's eyes when she left the house, she felt that the young lady was asking this question on purpose to tease Master Gu.

Gu Luoheng didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. Besides confusion, there was also a hint of panic in his indifferent eyes. He subconsciously took a step forward and explained seriously.

"I've been concentrating on my studies lately and haven't left the house much, so I haven't heard of such rumors. I will personally investigate and explain to her so she can rest assured. Your daughter is my only wife in this life."

The indifferent and elegant young man suddenly became serious and exuded a sense of majesty, making people willingly believe what he said.

Qilan was also very satisfied with this answer and almost couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, she coughed twice and nodded in response. She couldn't help but give him a reminder.

"Master Gu, it's good that you understand. I'd like to add one more thing: my daughter has a stubborn temper. If she gets hurt, there will be no chance of redemption in this life. I hope you will cherish her kindness. Qilan is leaving."

She had just taken a few steps when she heard someone behind her suddenly speak in a deep voice, "Please give her a message for me. I'll be at her coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow. If...if it's convenient, I'd like to speak to her alone for a few words."

Qilan turned around with a smile, bent her knees towards him and agreed directly.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely pass on the message. You should go back and study earlier."

Seeing her leave, Gu Luoheng let out a sigh, frowned slightly, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

I didn't expect that just because he hadn't left the house for a while, there would be such rumors outside. My mother once said that misunderstandings between men and women are the most hurtful. If the heart is broken, no matter how deep the feelings are, it will never be perfect.

He must meet with the person in person and explain the matter clearly. He must not let her misunderstand and be sad!

A trace of worry appeared between his brows. After a while, he lowered his head, took the box and left the room with a slightly gloomy expression.

Who knew that after just a few steps, he would run into a group of young men from wealthy families at the stairs, including a few of his good friends, who were also stunned when they saw him.

Before Gu Luoheng could say anything, the group of people spoke before him, chattering with a bunch of questions.

"Brother Shaoheng? Aren't you studying at home? How come you have time to come to Baibao Tower?"

"That's right. Normally, we'd call you several times but you'd never come out, you big Buddha. How could you actually be in the mood to go shopping today? Could it be that you knew your fiancée was coming back and you came here to buy her a gift?"

"That's not right. I heard people say that you like the one from Mr. Shen's family? I remember your fiancée was a childhood sweetheart. I thought she had given up long ago."

Several colleagues from the academy were really curious, and one couldn't help but make a joke.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man in front of him holding a long box with a gloomy face, and asked them in an angry tone.

"Hearsay is the abandonment of virtue. You are all noble gentlemen, why do you believe such outrageous rumors? The tongue is the door to fortune and misfortune. I also want to ask you, where did these rumors that destroy the friendship between me and my fiancée come from?"

He always did things with moderation and rarely got angry in public, but at this moment his face was completely gloomy and he looked at them with eyes as cold as ice.

The young men from aristocratic families were stunned by the question. They had never expected him to react like this. Then they touched their noses awkwardly and looked away.

Rumors are just rumors because they spread from person to person. Who would bother to find the source of such a romantic affair? I didn't expect that Brother Shaoheng, who looked at Danmo and didn't care about anything, would actually care so much about Mu's fiancée?

Seeing that these people were speechless, Gu Luoheng pursed his lips with a growing anger in his eyes, and snorted with a cold expression.

"You all now know that it's a rumor. If you hear it again in the future, please help clarify it. Given your character and talent, I'm sure you won't let me upset my fiancée and end up living alone, right?"

So if we don't help clear things up, we'll be responsible for letting you live out your life in loneliness?!

Those young men from aristocratic families nodded bitterly. Who would have thought that Brother Shaoheng would care so much about a rumor? If they had known this earlier, they would not have asked such an unnecessary question.

But soon their attention shifted to the box he was holding carefully in his arms. They were very curious but did not dare to ask any more questions.

There's no way. I'm no match for this guy in the academy, let alone expect to gain any advantage through verbal attacks. What if I don't handle it well and he gets me into trouble?

Gu Luoheng noticed that their eyes were dark and his expression softened a little.

"What are you guys staring at my box for? It's a gift from my fiancée. If you want it, you should find someone you love and get engaged soon."

You're talking as if you're already engaged. Aren't we all still unengaged? Can your childhood engagement be called an engagement?

The group of young men from aristocratic families glanced at each other and couldn't help but criticize him in their hearts, but they also showed a smile on their faces to tease him.

"No wonder Brother Shaoheng holds it so tightly and treasures it so much. So it turned out to be a gift from your fiancée?"

"I don't know what kind of treasure it is. Brother Shaoheng, can you please let me open my eyes?"

"That's right, I heard that the daughter of the Mu family just returned home today. I didn't expect that she would send you a gift so soon. We are so envious of such friendship."

When mentioning Ali, Gu Luoheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, but he still explained calmly.

"The gift was already placed here at Baibaolou. I just came to pick it up. But it doesn't hurt to show it to you."

He opened the long box in his arms. When he picked up the box just now, he glanced at it and saw that there should be a long sword inside.

A few men leaned over curiously, and when the box was opened, a long sword was revealed.

Gu Luoheng picked it up subconsciously and casually took off the scabbard with one hand. As the long sword was unsheathed, the sword body was as white as frost and snow. It was suddenly pulled out of the sheath with a "whoosh". The sharp cold light flashed like lightning, which was enough to make people shudder.

The cold light frightened the group so much that they subconsciously took a few steps back and couldn't help but look up in amazement.

"It's actually a sword? Miss Mu is indeed worthy of being the daughter of a military family. She has a very good eye for gifts!"
