Chapter 217: Chapter 127 Proclaim it to the Public Chapter 217: Chapter 127 Proclaim it to the Public Turning around to face the crowd exuberant over the prices of grain and dicine, Gu Changsheng lifted a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart, “Have you not been asking whether there is anything between and Zhou Mu?”
The clamor around her ceased abruptly as everyone turned to look at her.
Yuan Bao also looked over anxiously. What was Lady Changsheng going to do? His master had even dared to coerce the Emperor for her. She couldn’t possibly be about to publicly disassociate herself from him, could she?
If that were the case, it would be truly deadly! Oh, his poor master!
“Zhou Mu, for my safety, did not hesitate to utter words of defiance against his superiors. As for , Gu Changsheng, I will ensure the peace of the Liuzhou Region for him. That is the answer I give you. Let’s all await the good news of Zhou Mu’s triumphant return together!” Gu Changsheng finished speaking in one breath and turned toward the small courtyard.
Her step was more relieved than it had ever been before.
Indeed, once the heart is engaged, there’s no longer a need to hide or cover up. Zhou Mu likes her, and she, Gu Changsheng, is not without affection for him. This is good, for sooner or later, one must face the rumors and the imperial pressure. Rather than sitting idly and waiting for their dirty tricks, better to bring it all out into the open!
The promise made at Wenjun Pavilion, she would wait for him, wait for him to return victorious to face the world’s gaze with her. Even if a storm rages, she would stand by him side by side, never failing in this life!
“My lady, you…” Han Qiu started to speak, hesitated, and then didn’t know how to continue.
They had all witnessed the way Lady Changsheng and Prince Mu beca acquainted with each other, but at this mont, she didn’t know what to say.
“Han Qiu, ti is like a boundless ocean. In this boundless sea, after searching for so long, I finally encountered soone who could abandon everything for , soone to walk through life with . Whether that is a fortune or misfortune is no longer important…” Looking up at the sky, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt an urge to cry.
Grandfather, in this life, I have t a man who can accompany from life until death. Are you happy?
Seeing this, Han Qiu decided not to say more. Matters of the heart cannot be influenced by outsiders. Since the lady had made her choice, no matter what, she would stand by her side!
“Lady Changsheng, don’t take the words of that Old Immortal, Hu Bingzhi, to heart. In Yuan Bao’s eyes, you are the very best lady in the world, and no one is more suited to be with my master than you,” Yuan Bao, after sorting out the matters outside, rushed in hurriedly and pantingly.
“Suited? Suited my foot! Yuan Bao, pass my ssage on to that evildoer, Zhou Mu: if he dares to keep anything from again, believe it or not, I’ll turn Liuzhou into a ss,” Gu Changsheng said with a scoff upon seeing Yuan Bao.
If it wasn’t for the capital’s manuevering to remove her, Zhou Mu would never have employed such a tactic, using such an overt confession to coerce his own biological grandfather. Such a move could only be expected from Zhou Mu!
It was utterly humiliating!
And yet, overwhelmingly touching!
“My lady, you’re joking. You wouldn’t want to upset Master’s household. Hehe…” Over ti, Yuan Bao had co to understand Gu Changsheng’s temperant very well. At that mont, he bustled about, diligently serving tea and providing water, endearing himself as much as possible.
This was the assured future County Princess Consort, his rightful future lady; he had to curry favor with her to avoid future retribution!
Concerning the words Lady Changsheng had just spoken in the clear presence of everyone, Yuan Bao was exceedingly overjoyed and very satisfied. He believed that once his master heard them, he would be very happy too. His master just needed to push a bit harder to win over the Lady Changsheng who had been safeguarding his ho. Then it truly would be the dawn after a long night!
Sheer happiness!
“By the way, didn’t the people outside start a revolt? I’ve defiled their Zhou Mu, who in their hearts, is as sacred as the Divine Residence,” Gu Changsheng said with a sly, almost mocking smile.
“My lady, you’re a wise person. Who would take advantage and then act aggrieved? They are too busy being grateful to you to revolt,” said Yuan Bao, whose skills at flattery had no chance of being employed with his cold master and were now fully dedicated to Gu Changsheng.
Hearing these words, the smile on Gu Changsheng’s face grew even wider. Everyone loves to hear flattering words, and Gu Changsheng was no exception.
“My lady, I have properly stored the dicinal materials sent by the Bozhou dicine rchant. As for the Silver Tael, Elder Yhan, who is cunning, said it should be deducted from the silver provided for your offerings. The three young n he sent to learn the dicine Processing Technique from you have also been settled,” Yuan Bao said, quickly coming forward with starry eyes to report on the matters at hand.
