Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 244 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (34)

The two entered the palace through the side door, and when they were walking through the garden, they happened to meet the princess feeding the fish by the pond.

Although it is just a silhouette in the distance, it is unforgettable.

She was wearing a dark purple dress, the hem of which fluttered gently like ripples on the water.

The long skirt was embroidered with exquisite patterns, outlined with gold thread, and inlaid with gems and pearls, sparkling with dazzling brilliance.

Her hair was tied up high in a bun, with an exquisite jade hairpin inserted in it, sparkling with a warm luster.

There were emerald earrings hanging on her earlobes, which swayed gently with her movements, making crisp sounds.

The action of scattering fish food is always graceful and calm, and the eyes follow the trajectory of the fish food, focused and affectionate.

After getting closer, Jiang Qiuchen stared at that beautiful face in a dull daze for a long time.

Like mother, like son. Gu Xiao's outstanding appearance must be largely due to the princess.

Her eyes are as deep as autumn water, her nose is high, her lips are rosy, and she looks very good.

Her skin is as delicate as snowflakes in early winter, pure white and flawless, with a faint luster.

Jiang Qiuchen's porcelain-white skin is due to the cleansing and purifying dew prepared by the high priest, but the princess was born with it.

At a quick glance, Jiang Qiuchen felt that the princess exuded gentleness from head to toe, and he didn't know how she could give birth to a devil like Gu Xiao.

The princess naturally could not fail to feel such a passionate gaze. She stopped what she was doing and looked up.

I saw a beautiful young girl with outstanding temperament staring at me blankly, which looked quite cute.

"What's going on? Why did they kidnap two people for no reason?"

The guard replied, lowering his head in fear.

"Princess, these two people bumped into the young master in the street. The young master ordered his subordinates to tie them up and lock them in the woodshed before dealing with them."

The palace has a dungeon specifically for criminals. Since Gu Xiao just tied the man back to the woodshed, he shouldn't do anything too outrageous.

The princess understood her son well and knew that no matter how mischievous he was, he would not dare to really hurt others.

Besides, Gu Xiao has his big brother Gu Shaojing to pressure him, and Gu Shaojing will be back in a few days. At this critical moment, nothing can go wrong.

The princess wanted to laugh when she thought that no matter how arrogant her younger son was, he would be as scared as a mouse meeting a cat when he met her eldest son.

However, she couldn't show these emotions in front of outsiders, so she just nodded expressionlessly.

"Since it's Xiao'er's order, then you should do as he says."

"Remember to inform Xiao'er later that the prince will be back in two days, and ask him to be more careful."

"Yes!"

After the guard responded, he continued to escort the two men away. Not long after, they arrived at the woodshed in the corner.

"You two just stay here and don't have any evil ideas!"

"There are people guarding outside. If they find out that you are doing anything tricky, you will only get yourself into trouble. Do you understand?!"

The guards' voices were as loud as thunder, and Jiang Qiuchen felt that his ears were hurting.

"I know, I know……"

After responding twice with some impatience, the two were pushed into the woodshed by the guards without any courtesy.

With a click, the lock on the outside of the house closed.

Jiang Qiuchen looked back, shrugged helplessly, and then chose a softer haystack to sit down.

After adjusting his posture, he even lay down and crossed his feet.

Although the straw under my butt was a little prickly, at least I wasn't locked up in a dark and damp dungeon. Compared to the other two, this woodshed was still okay to stay in.

If Jiang Qiuchen's leisurely and contented demeanor was seen by someone who didn't know the situation, they would probably think this was not a woodshed but her bedroom.

Now that he had some free time, Jiang Qiuchen was able to devote his attention to observing the brother beside him.

He was wearing a dark grey muslin gown with a belt of the same colour tied around his waist, which looked simple and elegant.

The hem of his clothes swayed gently with his movements, like a new willow in early spring, soft and unobtrusive.

The hair is simply tied up and fixed with a wooden hairpin. There is no gorgeous decoration, which gives it a unique style.

A pair of deep eyes are as clear as lake water, with a subtle firmness.

The straight nose bridge adds a bit of heroic spirit to his face, and he is a handsome young man.

However, his lips are really too tender...

Jiang Qiuchen stared at his face carefully, and always felt that there was something wrong.

He lowered his eyes and after seeing the other person's Adam's apple, his doubts were temporarily dispelled.

Maybe because she had encountered too many things today, she was dazzled.

After noticing Jiang Qiuchen's gaze, the man didn't say anything. He found a corner and sat down silently.

He neither complained about being implicated nor lamented his current situation.

This behavior immediately aroused Jiang Qiuchen's curiosity. She sat up from the straw pile and moved closer to the corner.

The young man, who was resting with his eyes closed, noticed the movement and looked at her in confusion, as if asking a question with his eyes.

"Brother, you were inexplicably dragged into this matter. Don't you feel aggrieved?"

Jiang Qiuchen bent his knees, rested his chin on them, and asked with blinking eyes.

Obviously, the other party did not expect that this was what she wanted to ask. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"There's nothing to feel bad about. It was my own choice to rush forward to save people. I can't blame anyone else."

"Although being implicated was an accident, I should make the best of it. Before I have the ability to change the outcome, I should conserve my energy and keep some spirit."

His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't had water for a long time.

Although his voice sounded a little labored, there was no trace of fatigue or impatience in his tone.

It's a bit surprising to see such a face and such a voice.

Jiang Qiuchen silently gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Very good, not easily affected by praise or criticism, emotionally stable, suitable to be a friend."

"My name is Jiang Qiucheng, what's your name?"

Jiang Qiuchen's topic jumped a little quickly. In the last second, he was discussing the kidnapping incident, and in the next second, he was talking about the dating scene.

Wen Rushi also reacted quickly. He didn't say anything more, but replied with a slight smile.

"My last name is Wen, and my given name is Rushi."

Jiang Qiuchen wanted to shake hands, but then he realized that he was still tied up like a crab.

"Wait a moment, I'll untie this rope that's in the way first."

Wen Rushi thought he had heard it wrong. After all, the hemp rope used to tie people up was not silk thread for embroidery. The solid hemp rope made it impossible for him to move.

Could it be that the other party has some tool that can be used as leverage?

Wen Rushi looked behind Jiang Qiuchen curiously, but he never expected that the other party had nothing in his hands.
