in the sound of swallows

Chapter 9
Gu Chaodong was gentle and refined, he didn't expect his younger brother to be so rude, he could block people to death by opening his mouth.Shen Guiyan's face turned red with anger, while Gu Chaobei still looked like a ruffian taking care of himself.

Master Shen was a little helpless, he would have been beaten out by someone else, but it happened to be the fourth son of the prime minister's mansion.

"Why is Fourth Young Master Gu so persistent in wanting to marry Third Miss?" Aunt Ding who was beside her asked in a low voice, "There was no fate before, right?"

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows: "I like her as soon as I see her, can't I?"

Shen Guiyan glanced at him sideways, and couldn't help but sneer.She didn't believe that one glance could seal the marriage, and this fourth young master Gu was afraid that he had other plans in his heart, so he pretended to be a rascal and wanted to marry her by force.

After marrying, wouldn't she become Gu Chaodong's sister-in-law?What are you kidding.

"Let's discuss this matter with the prime minister when Mr. Gu sobers up." Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Your master can't count if he talks alone."

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Guiyan, but he didn't bother her too much. Instead, he let go of her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask my father to propose marriage."

If the prime minister came to beg, no matter how unwilling the Shen family was, they would still marry.

Standing outside listening, Feng Xiao's expression changed a few times, and he hastily pulled Baoshan's sleeve and said, "My dear sister Baoshan, you must persuade the third lady, I will go back and tell the young master immediately, and I must not let you It's done!"

Bao Shan glared at him and said, "Isn't Eldest Young Master already married Miss Fifth, and still thinking about what my young lady is doing?"

"My good sister, I beg you!" Feng Xiao wiped the sweat from his brow, saw that Gu Chaobei was about to leave, and hurried to leave before him: "Sister, please help me, next time I come, I will definitely leave." There is a generous gift!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out quickly, mounted his horse and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Chaobei turned around and wanted to leave, but he was staggering, apparently quite drunk, before he took two steps, he was about to fall to the ground.Upon seeing this, Master Shen said helplessly: "Come here, help Mr. Gu to the guest room to rest first, and send him back to the mansion tomorrow."

"Yes." The servant agreed, stepped forward and carried Gu Chaobei out.Shen Guiyan stood aside, and before she could loosen her brows, she heard Aunt Ding next to her smile and said, "The third girl is also very lucky. She couldn't marry her brother, but she fell in love with her younger brother. The left and right are also the prime minister's mansion. To be rich is to run away." It won't fall."

Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes: "Aunt Ding is worrying too much."

"It's not a bad thing." Mrs. Shen smiled lightly: "If you really want to marry, then you and Ya'er will become sisters-in-law, so we can support each other."

Mutual support?Shen Guiyan smiled slightly, the person who robbed her of her marriage, still want her to support him?She just lost her biological mother right now, so she didn't have time to think about many things. When the heavy rain passed tonight, did they think she was still so easy to rub?

In the past, it was because of Aunt Qin that she endured it.Now that everyone is gone, what else is she willing to do?
But she didn't speak. On such an occasion, it would be useless to open her mouth.

Seeing her silence, Master Shen sighed and said: "Forget it, let's all go back and rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes." The people in several rooms dispersed separately, Shen Guiyan also stepped out of the main hall, Bao Fan held up an umbrella, and helped her to walk back.

"Miss, Mr. Gu over there..." Although Bao Shan was also annoyed by Shen Guiya, Eldest Young Master Gu is still innocent. He has been in love with Miss for so many years, so it's hard to forget it?
Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and said, "Let me rest for a while, don't ask other questions."

You have to catch your breath even if you hang yourself. First, someone robbed her of her wedding dress, then lost her mother, and then was robbed by a ruffian to marry her. No one can bear it.

Bao slapped her mouth shut, and helped her back to wash and change her clothes. Seeing that her young lady was frowning, it was really not easy to disturb her, so she closed the door and went out.

Aunt Qin's death was not that simple. Shen Guiyan lay on the bed with her eyes closed and thought, no one would be so stupid as to eat a lot of arsenic without knowing it. When my wife paid her respects in the courtyard, after eating breakfast, I went to her boudoir to see off the wedding.

It is said so, but there is no evidence at all, who dares to identify the mistress of the house?Every day she stays in Shen's residence, she is controlled by Mrs. Shen for one day, food and drink, marriage and marriage, everything is under her control.

Unless she gets married.

But Gu Chaodong has already married Shen Guiya, who will she marry?Marry him as a concubine?Wouldn't that mean that she would live under Shen Guiya's control again?

Grasping the sheets tightly, Shen Guiyan opened her eyes and took a few breaths.There is no unparalleled way, and she must have other ways.

"I've thought about it for a long time, why did you reject me."

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the middle of the room.

Shen Guiyan was startled and almost screamed, she hugged the quilt tightly and sat up looking out of the bed curtain.

A lamp was lit on the table, and a man with a brocade and jade crown sat beside the table, muttering to himself in the mirror on the table: "I thought it was because your vision was too unique, but when I went back and looked in the mirror, I realized that it was my own fault." question."

The man turned his head sideways, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, Shen Guiyan was slightly taken aback, and instantly remembered what was written in an ancient book he had read a few days ago:

Zongzhi is a handsome and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree before the wind.

The well-born man looked at her with an unserious smile on his face and said, "My whole body was stained by the rain, which made the young lady panic. Let's see now, do you think it's not that bad to marry me?" difficulty?"

Shen Guiyan came back to her senses, and suddenly realized: "The fourth son of the Gu family?"

"My lord, Gu Chaobei." He said, "Miss, remember it."

Shen Guiyan had already touched the dagger that had been placed by the pillow all the year round, looked at the man with a smile and said, "Mr. Gu is visiting late at night, what's your business?"

In fact, there is no need to ask too much. In the middle of the night, in the women's boudoir, except for thieves, they can only be flower pickers.

Gu Chaobei stood up and walked to the bed, touched his chin and said, "I felt unwilling to look in the mirror when I went back, so I came to see you again after washing up. Miss Shen San, am I far behind my elder brother?"

Shen Guiyan wanted to nod very much, but at this time it was obvious that he couldn't provoke the other party, so he smiled and said: "Young Master Gu is very romantic all over the capital. I heard that Princess Duanwen also has a good impression of you. How can you be so different from Young Master Gu?"

"That's it, then why are you refusing me?" Gu Chaobei smiled.

Shen Guiyan stepped back: "The little girl's heart belongs to Mr. Gu, and it is difficult to change for a while, so she will naturally reject Mr. Gu."

"My heart belongs to elder brother?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows, then sneered: "You women just like to hear good things from people, and only look at the appearance of men. What's so good about a man like him? When you are affectionate and pampered, Behind the scenes, I may not know how to fall in love with other women, and I always pretend to be affectionate."

Shen Guiyan nodded in agreement, thinking, don't you too?
"I'm different." Gu Chaobei said seriously: "I'm flirtatious but I don't hide it, and I've never lied to anyone. If I say that I have more than a dozen friends outside, then there must be no more than one less. To be shameless is to be above board.”

The corners of Shen Guiyan's mouth twitched, shamelessly proud?
"It seems that you shouldn't come here in the middle of the night." She said, "This is not what a gentleman should do."

"Oh?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced back at the window: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Shen Guiyan squeezed the dagger tightly, saw him cross the edge of the bed, forced a smile to remind him: "If you go any further, you will be bloody."

Bloody?Just her?These boudoir ladies probably haven't even seen blood before, have they?Gu Chaobei sneered, and walked forward without fear of death.

In the end, Shen Guiyan quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it hard into his shoulder.

Girls in the boudoir, who have never done such a thing, naturally don't know how to behave.Shen Guiyan only wanted to preserve her own reputation, so her attack was a little heavier, and a stab in the shoulder would not be fatal anyway.

Gu Chaobei didn't expect her to come for real, he didn't react for a while, but when he did, there was already a sharp pain in his shoulder, accompanied by blood.

"you……"

He really could do it!

Shen Guiyan drew back the dagger and hugged the quilt back, looked at him with a serious face and said: "Please leave quickly, young master, otherwise it will be bad for you and me if someone is called."

Gu Chaobei covered his shoulders and took two deep breaths, and said with a helpless smile: "Do you think that those who come in the middle of the night must be bad guys?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Guiyan glared at him.

Gu Chaobei waved his hand, pointed to her window with a smile, Shen Guiyan was at a loss, after the room was quiet for a while, someone knocked on the window.
