Chapter 564 Sir, Please Stay (26)
Deng Wenjie returned to the mansion, dismissed the servants, and picked up the paintings in the cabinet. Those paintings were all of the same woman.
"Xiao Xi, who are you?"
The shadows of the trees were swaying, and Deng Wenjie felt that these days were very chaotic. He wondered if he was sick.
The next day, Gu Yuxi walked in the general's mansion, but unfortunately it was only a temporary courtyard.
"Do you like it, Xixi? When we get to Fuxing City, shall we make the yard like this?"
Gu Beicheng no longer wanted to call her "Xiao Xi" because it would remind him of the history of his sister being bullied as a maid.
"Why? Brother, aren't you working in the capital? Why do you want to go to Fuxing City?"
"Your Majesty needs capable people to go there, but I am only the General of Chariots and Cavalry now. There are still positions of General of Cavalry and General to strive for, so I will ask to leave the capital. Xixi, are you willing to follow your brother to Fuxing?"
The main reason is that there are a lot of rumors outside now, and Gu Beicheng doesn't dare to bet that his sister can bear those things. The prince needs a confidant to guard the important place of Fuxing, which coincides with his idea of taking Gu Yuxi away from the capital.
"I am a burden to my brother, I don't mind..."
"I mind! Xixi, let's change places and start a new life, okay?"
[Sister Xi, this is killing three birds with one stone. Gu Beicheng doesn't want to be married to Princess Jingshu by His Majesty!]
[Today that beauty is...she is here.]
"General Gu, I'm here to see Xixi again. Xixi will like the snacks from the imperial kitchen." A voice came from not far away, and the man next to Gu Yuxi was stunned.
"Xixi, please chat with Princess Jingshu. I still have to go to the military governor's office."
Li Jingshu walked over quickly, but she didn't expect that she was gone. The woman in front of her saluted her and said, "Greetings, Princess."
"Xixi, where is your brother? I saw him here just now."
"Princess, there is something important going on at the Military Governor's Office. Brother will go there first."
"Eh, I can't see anyone again." Li Jingshu was dejected, looking at Gu Yuxi who was alone in front of her, as if she was the only one she could play with.
"Princess, please don't be upset. It is understandable that my brother left the mansion. Please don't blame me."
"I don't blame him. After all, only I would like a cold person like him."
The maid finally came up panting and said, "My princess, please let me run all the way... whoosh whoosh!"
"Hahaha, practice more and you'll get better in the future." Li Jingshu said as she picked up the food box and placed it on the stone table. She said, "This is a snack made by the imperial kitchen. I'm sure you'll like it."
"Thank you, Princess."
"Don't call me Princess from now on. You can call me Sister."
"This...is not in accordance with etiquette, I..."
"I think it's quite suitable. I am only one month older than you."
Holding the snacks, Gu Yuxi couldn't help gossiping: "Did the princess know my brother before?"
"Humph, I won't tell you unless you call me sister-in-law!"
"My brother will be angry, and this will also affect your reputation."
"I was just kidding. It's your brother who's always busy."
Gu Yuxi smiled. Li Jingshu was the second daughter of the crown prince of the current dynasty. She was unrestrained and was a close friend of the young lady from the Anyang Marquis's Mansion. They had met several times before.
"Xixi, what kind of woman does your brother like? He won't hold back his smile."
"I do not know."
The girl was in love, lying on the table, and seemed to be in a very depressed mood. Gu Yuxi could only sigh silently that the other party was too deeply in love with her.
Li Jingshu and Gu Yuxi sat for a while and then left. Later, Gu Yuxi planned to go out for a walk to see if there was any business that would be more profitable, but she didn't expect Deng Wenjie to come.
"Master Deng, our young lady just chatted with Princess Jingshu for a while and is still in the garden."
"Thank you."
After the servants left, Deng Wenjie walked up silently. He was originally going to the academy, but he didn't want to leave like that and wanted to see her alone.
"Miss Gu."
The person in front turned around and said, "You are very polite, sir. My brother is not at home."
"I have something to tell you."
The person in front of him was not wearing any makeup, and her complexion was much better than a few days ago. Deng Wenjie took out the Ganoderma lucidum that he had prepared.
"This is?"
"This is for you. Thank you for your tolerance yesterday."
"I'm telling the truth. The young lady has been very good to me, and you, sir, have also been very nice to me. I can't accept this thing." Gu Yuxi pushed the box back.
"No, you must..." Deng Wenjie spoke incoherently. His hand accidentally touched the cold fingers, and he was so scared that he quickly took his hand back.
"Feel sorry."
"No problem. You have studied hard for ten years. I wish you can achieve your wish and become successful next year."
"Miss Gu, I am not as good as many famous young men in the capital, but I hope I can achieve what you wish."
"I will. I believe you."
Seeing the woman's determined eyes, Deng Wenjie felt encouraged. She seemed to really hope that he could do something, and he couldn't let her down.
"I will also work hard. I will go to the academy to study right away. I will definitely pass the exam in the future and will not let you down."
Gu Yuxi smiled. Why did she feel that this man was stupid? He was not the target of the mission, otherwise she would have started flirting with him.
"Young Master, come on!"
Realizing something, Deng Wenjie laughed at himself. It seemed like he had said too much just now. After all, there was no bond between them anymore.
The woman smiled slightly, just like the warmest spring breeze blowing across your face, making you feel extremely comfortable and happy. The flowers in the garden still couldn't cover up her charming smile.
Deng Wenjie involuntarily reached out to touch the conspicuous scar on the right side of his face. When his fingertips touched the scar, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and lowered his head subconsciously.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things. Just take this Ganoderma lucidum. If there are other medicinal herbs you need, you can tell me." Deng Wenjie said softly.
"Why are you so nice to me? There is no way I could accept the Lingzhi, and you don't need to feel guilty about it. I'm fine now, and I've got the freedom I've longed for. I'm eager to get out of this place and see the outside world." The woman responded with a firm look.
"After all, it's inconvenient for a woman to go out on the road alone...but you are not like an ordinary woman. Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead." Deng Wenjie nodded slightly, showing his understanding and support.
"Haha, I knew you would agree with my idea!" The woman laughed heartily.
"Yeah." Deng Wenjie responded softly, and then fell into silence. For a moment, he didn't know what topic to continue talking about. At this moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious.
Seeing that Deng Wenjie seemed to have nothing to say, Gu Yuxi slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, please take back this Ganoderma. I never like to owe others favors, but I am afraid that if I owe too much, I will not know how to repay it in the future."
