I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 32 She Will Marry Me Sooner or Later

Thinking that she was about to go to Yuezhou to find a friend and would never return to Lin'an, Ye Wanshu made up an identity.

"I'm just a girl from a small family in Jikang County, Yuezhou. My given name is Hui. I've come to Lin'an to visit my relatives." She said calmly, "I'll be leaving for Yuezhou in the next few days."

I escaped from Ji's house last night and haven't left the city yet. Chunhong and Xingtao must be getting anxious.

Thinking that she had to visit her aunt before leaving, Ye Wanshu had no intention of staying any longer and stood up to say goodbye.

"Qingqing, you must remember what I said to you today."

Although they had only met for one day, Ye Wanshu liked Mu Qingqing's personality from the bottom of her heart. As the only daughter of a marquis, she was not at all pretentious. There was probably no more elegant and kind-hearted lady in the whole Lin'an City. She only hoped that she could live a safe and smooth life.

Hearing that she was leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Qingqing felt a little reluctant for some reason.

It is obvious that the further away this woman is from Brother Chi, the happier she will be.

But she didn't.

"Sister Ye, I will keep this in mind. If it really becomes necessary, I will persuade mother to go to Yuezhou."

Mu Qingqing said sincerely, "It's just that you haven't fully recovered yet. Mother also sent a message earlier, asking me to keep you at home for a few more days to recuperate."

"I'm fine, but I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I can't delay any longer."

Ye Wanshu said the truth and bent down to look at Fu Yunni. Although she knew that she was arranged by Fu Mingchi to get close to her, she still couldn't hide her liking for this little girl.

"Little Princess, I'm leaving."

Fu Yunni blinked her dark eyes and said, "Sister, aren't you going back to Yuezhou with A Ni? A Ni also lives in Yuezhou."

If she kidnapped the little kid, Fu Mingchi would definitely treat her as a human trafficker. Ye Wanshu quickly shook her head and said, "I'll come visit you after the princess returns to Yuezhou."

"Then you must come."

Fu Yunni forced her to make a promise again, and she and Mu Qingqing personally sent Ye Wanshu out of the Marquis' Mansion, and did not return to the courtyard until her figure completely disappeared.

Ye Wanshu did not ask the Marquis' Mansion to prepare a carriage, so as to avoid her aunt and uncle's family seeing her when she arrived at the Duke's Mansion and having some messy thoughts.

She was strolling towards Changle Street. As soon as she appeared on Changle Street, she was stopped by a deep voice.

"Wanwan."

Ye Wanshu looked over when she heard the voice and saw a tall figure stepping out of a magnificent golden carriage.

"uncle."

Recognizing Gu An, Ye Wanshu stopped and was looking at him, but Gu An couldn't wait to come forward.

"Could it be that you, child, are staying at the Ji family?"

Gu An said in a reproachful tone, "Your second cousin went to take you home, but before you came back, your aunt's illness got much worse."

Looking at his anxious face, Ye Wanshu knew that her aunt must be seriously ill.

In fact, my aunt is not a heartless person. She has treated her with true love in both lives. The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that she likes to tie her down in marriage.

Perhaps it was because Empress Dowager Gu and the Marquis of Wuping's Mansion were too powerful, and the aunt did not dare to covet the position of crown prince on behalf of Tingji, so she could only set her sights on her niece.

"Yesterday, during the enthronement ceremony, I ran into some difficult issues and couldn't get away. I just finished packing everything today and was about to go to the Duke's Mansion to visit my aunt." Ye Wanshu answered truthfully.

"A difficult matter?" Gu An asked hurriedly, "But those nasty bitches in your father's courtyard gave you a hard time?"

Ye Wanshu didn't explain much, only saying, "Uncle, you should go back and visit your aunt first."

"Okay, follow your uncle into the carriage quickly. Your uncle has just entered the palace to invite the Imperial Physician Liu. Let's go back together." After the broken engagement, this girl was still able to let go of the past and was willing to return to the Duke's Mansion. Gu An couldn't help but feel happy.

During the days when his niece was away from home, he felt very distressed seeing his wife distracted every day, and still wanted to keep Wanwan at home.

Leading her back to the carriage, Gu An said earnestly, "Just stay here with peace of mind when you return to the Duke's Mansion this time. Your eldest cousin is a jerk who doesn't know what's good for him. Your uncle has already punished him for you. Fortunately, Tingchen is a reasonable person. He has now inherited the throne of the Crown Prince and will definitely treat you well in the future..."

"uncle."

Before he could finish, Ye Wanshu interrupted, "My aunt is still ill, and Wanwan doesn't want to think about anything else."

"Yes, yes, you are the most filial child. It is your uncle who is worried."

Gu An looked ashamed. This child was indeed the most docile and virtuous. When that bastard Tingzhou made such a fuss, she still compromised and agreed to let her son take a concubine. I'm afraid there is no other girl as magnanimous as her in the whole city of Lin'an.

These days, Gu An heard from his servants that Tingzhou was immersed in the erotic dance and obscene music of that bitch all day long. He was extremely angry. He knew that his eldest son was useless and all his hopes were placed on his second son.

Now he only hopes that Wanwan can marry Tingchen, and the two of them can live in harmony and manage the Duke's Mansion well.

The carriage traveled quickly all the way. As soon as it entered the Duke's Mansion, Gu Tingchen heard that his cousin had returned with him, so he came out to greet her impatiently.

But the moment he saw Ye Wanshu, his face quickly darkened again.

"came back?"

Gu Tingchen said these three words indifferently, his tone becoming more and more sarcastic: "Wanwan is now a princess, your Majesty's sister, it is rare that she still remembers the Duke's Mansion."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Gu An was furious when he heard this: "Wanwan is not a heartless person. Not to mention being a princess, even if she is crowned a princess, she will not forget you two brothers."

Ye Wanshu listened and just smiled without saying anything.

The imperial power is weak now. Not to mention that she is a princess who was forcibly brought up by the emperor and the empress dowager after a quarrel, even the royal family members are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Gu family. She would not be so stupid as to not realize it and use her status as a princess to show off.

She bowed to Gu Tingchen but didn't respond to him as enthusiastically as usual. She said indifferently, "Uncle, Wanwan is going to visit my aunt first."

After saying that, he walked straight into the door.

Looking at her receding back, Gu An called the maid to lead Liu the imperial physician inside, and glared at Gu Tingchen unhappily.

"What on earth are you trying to do, you bastard?"

He lowered his voice and whispered to his son, "Do you know that Ji Yuan is secretly befriending Prince Qi? I heard that even Prince Yongning has connections with him. Ji Yuan only wants Wanwan as his legitimate daughter. The only one who is eligible to marry into the royal family is Wanwan. I don't need to explain his intentions to you."

Gu Tingchen, however, acted extremely disdainful: "So what? I don't believe Wanwan would be interested in these two people."

Prince Qi is old and frail, and Prince Yongning is just an unpopular member of the royal family. If Wanwan had any common sense, she would not marry these two people.

After the broken engagement, Gu Tingchen is now absolutely convinced that Wanwan only has him in her heart.

"Don't worry, father. Wanwan will marry me sooner or later." He said fearlessly, "What kind of family is our Gu family? We can't let her control us. We have to let her know that the door of our mansion is not easily accessible."

Gu An quite agrees with this point.

The Queen Mother is now in her prime. With the prestige of the Gu family, it is not difficult for him to risk the wrath of the world and request to be granted the title of king of a different surname. He is indeed not comparable to those weak members of the royal family.

"Just don't play with fire like your elder brother and get burned." Gu An reminded him and then walked in.

Ye Wanshu followed the maid into the main courtyard and came to the bedroom. Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji, a brother and sister, were guarding Ye Huaisu's bedside, serving him medicine.

Seeing Ye Wanshu, the brother and sister greeted her warmly, "Cousin."
