Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 871 Uneasy Conscience
Guo Yu suddenly became serious, turned to look at Gu Chan, and said with a serious face.

"Mr. Xu, what I said is true. You must believe me. When you taught Gao Lin a lesson in the teahouse that day, I was really surprised and liked you. This is the first time I have met a man like you in my life."

"But...but I'm only fifteen years old! Not even an adult yet!" Gu Chan said speechlessly.

"Don't be afraid! I can wait for you! It's just a year, right? Can't we just get along well with each other for a year?" Guo Yu said.

Gu Chan sighed, "No, Miss Guo, I understand your feelings for me, and I am very grateful for your love, but I can only stay in Kyoto for five months, and then I have to leave to save my friends."

"Ah? You'll only stay for five months?" Guo Yu said disappointedly.

She had thought that Gu Chan would stay in the capital of Diyue Kingdom to develop in the future, but judging from the current situation, she was probably overthinking it.

Gu Chan explained, "My friend is seriously injured and in a coma. If I can't get a plant of red spider lily to make medicine to save him within half a year, he will die."

"Higanbana? It seems we have one of this herb in our Chamber of Commerce!" Guo Yu was quite naive and didn't think too much about it at all. He blurted out the answer.

Gu Chan said cunningly, "Really?"

"A few days ago, I heard from my father that it seemed like someone from the royal family picked it from the Other Shore Mountain and temporarily kept it in the Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what this person did with it." Guo Yu said.

"So that's how it is! It seems like it will be impossible for me to get this red spider lily spiritual herb from the Chamber of Commerce." Gu Chan said helplessly.

If this red spider lily spiritual herb was only used by the Chamber of Commerce to sell to the outside world, then it would be fine. But if it was picked by someone from the royal family, the chances of her getting this spiritual herb would be slim.

In order to express his love to Gu Chan, Guo Yu said directly, "How about this! I will go to my father tomorrow to ask. If I can help you get this red spider lily spiritual herb, that would be the best. If not, then you can only think of another way."

"Ms. Guo, you really don't have to do this for me. It will make me feel guilty, as if I am taking advantage of you. This is not okay. I will feel guilty." Gu Chan sighed.

She came to Guo's house specially tonight just to get some information about the red spider lily spiritual herb in the Chamber of Commerce from Guo Yu. She never thought of using Guo Yu to help her get the spiritual herb.

Therefore, Guo Yu's current actions made her feel guilty.

Guo Yu said firmly, "I like someone, but I never just say it with my mouth. I will definitely use my actions to show my feelings to the other person, so you just go back and wait for my news, don't think too much."

"But……"

"Okay, I'm doing this for myself too. As long as you can get the red spider lily as soon as possible, you can rush back to save your friend. Once your friend comes back to life, can't you come back and be with me again?" Guo Yu interrupted, waving his hand.

Gu Chan was speechless because of her choking.

At this moment, Gu Chan really began to re-examine the beautiful eldest daughter of the Guo family in her heart.

She admitted that Guo Yu was not only simple but also kind-hearted. Most importantly, she was willing to give everything for love. It was a pity that she was a girl. Otherwise, if she really married such a woman, she would definitely live a happy life in the future.

Thinking of all this, Gu Chan finally did not have the heart to lie to Guo Yu, but said frankly, "Miss Guo, since you are so sincere to me, I will not hide it from you. I have been married for a long time. I have a wife and two concubines at home. I married them under pressure. To this day, although we are not husband and wife in reality, we are husband and wife in name only!"

"You...why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want to piss me off to death?" Guo Yu was stunned and roared with a stiff face.

As she said this, tears welled up in her big eyes. Gu Chan said helplessly, "Ms. Guo, tonight is only the second time we've met, and I didn't have the chance to talk to you before!"

"You...you go away! I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Guo Yu said angrily.

After saying that, she turned around and left the pavilion. As she walked forward, she secretly wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeves.

Gu Chan looked at her departing back and shook her head, then silently followed her out of the back garden.

After a while, Gu Chan left Guo's house alone, and then quietly returned to the inn with mixed feelings.

In the main room in the east wing of the backyard.

"Woooooooo..."

At this time, Guo Yu was lying in her mother's arms, crying sadly.

Guo Pinchuan sat at the table, looking extremely ugly.

Qian patted her daughter's back and whispered in her ear, "Come on, stop crying. It's our fault for not asking him if he's married in advance. Now we've really gotten into a lot of trouble."

"Oh! Now that I think about it, this is actually normal. We can all see that he is excellent, so how can others not see it? So it is reasonable for others to get there first and marry their daughter to him first." Guo Pinchuan sighed.

"What should we do now? The words have been spoken, and our daughter is so sad. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?" Qian said angrily.

Guo Pinchuan said calmly, "Don't worry, wait until tomorrow to call Junior Sister to ask about the details. If it is true, there are only two ways to go."

"Which two roads?" Qian asked.

"First, persuade him to divorce his three wives. Second, just say that what happened tonight was a misunderstanding and pretend that we never said anything. Yu'er, don't bother him again in the future." Guo Pinchuan said with his hands spread out.

Qian lowered her head and said to her crying daughter in her arms, "Yu'er, what do you think of your father's proposal?"

"I don't know... wuwuwu..." Guo Yu said while crying.

"Oh! I just don't understand how that boy could have bewitched you so much, and why do you have to do that? With your beauty and the status of our Guo family, you can find any man you want!" Qian shook her head and said.

Guo Yu immediately pulled away from her arms, wiped away her tears and said, "I just like him. I feel safe with him, which is something no other man can give me."

"Okay, stop crying. Wait until tomorrow and ask Pan'er. And to put it bluntly, even if he has three wives, you can still marry him. It's not a big deal. It's just that with the reputation of our Guo family, we don't want you to be a concubine." Guo Pinchuan said with a faint smile.

Qian nodded without comment.

The couple have always been emotionally stable, and as long as the sky doesn't fall, it doesn't seem to be a big deal in their eyes.

After hearing this, Guo Yu stopped crying, stood up and left, went back to her room to rest and calm down.
