Chapter 162 He was angry with her
Gu Beichen lowered his eyelids, "It was precisely because all the food on this table was her favorite that she left without eating a single bite."
Xie Moxuan was stunned. "Why is this?"
Gu Beichen shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with Lin Ziye. If I'm right, she won't return to the Marquis' Mansion immediately, but will go to the Beijiang River instead."
"Beijiang River, are we going to the place where she was killed?" Xie Moxuan suddenly shut up.
He glanced at Gu Beichen. The more important Lin Ziye was in Shen Wanwan's heart, the more uncomfortable Gu Beichen would feel.
Which man would like to see that the girl he loves has another man in her heart?
"He was able to win her heart back then only because he had a good mother behind him who arranged things for him. I lost because I lost my mother early on, and I also have to bear the burden of exposing the truth of the humiliation that the Mu family suffered back then."
He also lost because he didn't know what naive love was back then and even tried to avoid it.
It has been five years since I left the capital. During these five years, whenever I was alone, the scene of myself being injured and nearly drowning, and being rescued by that little girl, would always appear in my mind.
She has a chubby little round face, big watery eyes, and long curved eyelashes that flutter beautifully.
Her small red lips were moving, but he was too tired and fainted before he could hear what she said.
When he woke up again, he had been secretly taken back to the villa by his subordinates. He once thought it was just a dream. The little girl in the dream was so cute and gentle that he missed her infinitely.
He had been deprived of maternal love since childhood and was extremely eager for it. However, his mother had died of a heavy hemorrhage shortly after giving birth to him. He had never seen her true face, only her image in a portrait. She was an extremely gentle and beautiful woman.
He felt the same tenderness from the little girl in his dream, which was exactly what he longed for but never got.
It was not until he recovered from his injuries that he found out through investigation that his savior was Shen Wanwan, the daughter of the prime minister. He didn't even know when he had taken away the girl's jade pendant. He felt both annoyed and excited.
It was hers and he wanted to keep it.
But he also felt that the item should be returned to its original owner, and planned to return the jade pendant in person, but was delayed due to various things.
Later at the palace banquet, when he heard that she was being bullied by Princess Anping, he left his father and hurried over to rescue her, but she just thanked him politely.
He was filled with anger in his heart. She actually forgot about him. How dare she!
He was angry with her, so he gave up the idea of returning the jade pendant. Later, when the ice and fire poison took effect, he had even less reason to return the jade pendant.
The little girl back then has grown into a big girl now, but she also died once.
Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. If he had come to his senses earlier and asked his father to grant her marriage, she would not have suffered that disaster!
This is his fault!
Gu Beichen withdrew his thoughts and handed the two notes given to her by Shen Wanwan to Xie Moxuan. Xie Moxuan opened them and his eyes suddenly narrowed. What happened to the Xie family back then was really the work of Marquis Cheng'en!
If my aunt knew about this, she would regret her decision to marry that scumbag!
When the Xie family led reinforcements to support the front line and were attacked on the way, they had already traced it back to the imperial concubine's party and vaguely guessed that Marquis Cheng'en might also be involved, but they did not find out that the whole thing was related to spies from the enemy country.
If we can really find any clues in the Marquis' Mansion, then Pei Bailiang was really involved in that incident from beginning to end. The imperial concubine and her party are really bold and can even commit treason in order to seize the throne. If we can't find them this time, the entire Nan Yao Kingdom may be finished.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If she can..."
Gu Beichen's face darkened when he heard this. "She's not your little cousin. Even if she were, would you really be willing to let her join this chess game?"
Xie Moxuan was silent.
He was reluctant, but...
"Are you still a man? Defending our country is our job as men. If you can't bear to let them go, don't let them get into even the slightest danger. Don't forget, they both died once, and they might not be so lucky to be resurrected next time."
