After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 112

Zhao Changdu was silent and taciturn, he did not reply, only his brow was tightly furrowed.

Gu Ying and Ye Qingchi have a cousin relationship, but seeing the two embrace each other, he still felt very annoyed, and even had the urge to strangle Ye Qingchi.

Su He was schadenfreude, "Ever since she fell into the water in the palace, she has been quite extraordinary, especially towards Jiang Yin."

Su He was not Su Huanfeng, that guy was silly, he did not notice Gu Ying's changes, but he had already sent someone to investigate the rumors between Gu Ying and Jiang Yin back then.

It could only be said that there was something going on between them.

What he could investigate, how could Zhao Changdu not investigate it?

It was just that he probably investigated it even more clearly.

Su He: "So, Changdu, are you still going to marry her?"

Zhao Changdu did not hesitate for a moment, "Yes."

Su He did not know what spell Gu Ying had cast on Zhao Changdu, which made a man who looked so ascetic and indifferent insist on marrying no one but her.

He wrinkled his brows, "Changdu, it's obvious she feels hatred, not love for Jiang Yin."

Having a woman who does not love him by his side, wasn't that asking for trouble?

But for him, whether there was love or not did not matter anymore. After all, having been hurt like that before, no one would easily give their heart again.

He had always felt that Zhao Changdu wanting to marry Gu Ying had other motives.

Zhao Changdu's sword-like brows did not relax, his face was cold and solemn, he only said, "I need to take responsibility for her."

Su He was shocked, "Responsibility?"

Zhao Changdu gave him a meaningful look.

He had a pair of standard phoenix eyes, profound and intoxicating, undercurrents surging, that would not easily let people see what he was thinking.

But this time, Su He clearly and distinctly saw his obvious possessiveness towards Gu Ying in his eyes.

Su He stared with disbelief, "You, you, you..."

Was it the responsibility he was thinking of?

Zhao Changdu lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, said no more, and left with an expressionless face.

Su He still hadn't recovered from the shock. The heir of the Duke's mansion was famously aloof and abstinent, except for Huo Qiyun whom he was close to when he was young, he never went near women. But this time, he actually fell for this little girl Gu Ying!

Because he did not hesitate to use the power of the Qilin Army to travel a thousand miles to bring back Imperial Physician Wang from his hometown.

No matter who was behind interfering with the Imperial Hospital, Changdu's move was no different from slapping that person in the face.

Just for a Gu Ying, he had actually gone to such an extent.

For her, was he really only taking responsibility?

Su He chased up with a confused look on his face, "Changdu, don't forget that Huo Qiyan has an appointment with you at the Liyue Building!"

...

After leaving Imperial Physician Wang's residence.

Gu Ying's face was solemn. Imperial Physician Wang's whereabouts were unknown. He had previously returned to his hometown, but now people from his hometown also sent letters saying that Imperial Physician Wang was taken away halfway through the journey, and there was still no news of him.

Ye Qingchi patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry Ying, I will secretly send someone to investigate where Imperial Physician Wang is now. As soon as I get news of him, I will let you know first thing."

Gu Ying sighed, "Okay."

Ye Qingchi raised his hand and stroked her furrowed brows, smiling, "Furrowing your brows at such a young age, what's the point?"

Gu Ying pulled the corners of her mouth, it wasn't that she wanted to furrow her brows, it was just that her brother's condition was urgent, and could not wait much longer. She felt that no matter how many medical books she read, it was useless, because she had no experience in treating illnesses and saving lives. If she rashly used her brother's leg as an experiment, it might aggravate his condition instead.

"Cousin, let's go back first."

"Okay."

Ye Qingchi personally sent Gu Ying back. As the two passed by the Liyue Building on Changning Avenue,

Ye Qingchi glanced up slightly amidst the bustling crowds on the lively avenue, and vaguely saw the figures of Zhao Changdu and Huo Qiyan sitting face to face by the window of a second-floor private room.

He frowned unpleasantly, "Is that Prince Zhao?"

Gu Ying looked up. The thick snowy fog had darkened as dusk approached.

She squinted, before she could make out Zhao Changdu's distinctive profile, which was too eye-catching under the hazy glow of the lights.

Ye Qingchi's face looked ugly. "He's with Huo Qiyan?"

Wasn't Huo Qiyun enough, he had to get entangled with Huo Qiyan too?

Did he really want to keep entangling himself with the Huo family?

He was just about to go up and ask clearly, when Gu Ying grabbed him and smiled, "Cousin, it's nothing. Let's go back first, or else Grandma will find out."

Ye Qingchi's brows were still tightly furrowed. "Ying, he is your fiancé. This kind of behavior is called 'undeserving of a man' in our Ye family."

Gu Ying laughed, "I trust him."

Although she said trust, she actually just didn't care.

After all, it was just a sham engagement. Who he was with didn't matter to her.

Although she would feel a little unhappy in her heart, compared to her goal of revenge, it was nothing.

Ye Qingchi pursed his lips and did not insist anymore. His expression was blank, but in his heart he secretly marked down Zhao Changdu. Good, getting entangled with women even before getting married.

Sure enough, just a cunning male fox spirit. Very good!

Just as the two were about to leave, a carriage slowly approached.

The unmarked black carriage stopped in front of Gu Ying and Ye Qingchi. An old steward-like attendant got off the carriage and smiled at Gu Ying, "My master wants to say a few words to Miss and Master Ye."

Being able to easily recognize her and Ye Qingchi's identities, this person must not be simple.

Gu Ying and Ye Qingchi looked at each other warily about this old man in fancy clothes who had appeared out of nowhere, "May I ask who your master is?"

The old steward smiled evilly, "Miss, please get on the carriage."

From this person's expression, he seemed intent on forcing her if she did not get on the carriage.

Gu Ying turned her head and looked at Ye Qingchi hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Ye Qingchi said with a smile, giving her a reassuring look. With him here, even if the King of Hell came, he could still protect her properly.

Gu Ying hesitated no more, lifted her skirt and got on the carriage.

The heavy carriage curtain fell, Gu Ying bent down to sit, and looked up to meet a pair of flirtatious peach blossom eyes.

The not too big or small carriage was filled with a faint scent of dragon saliva incense.

This kind of incense was extremely precious in Dongli, and could only be used by people from the royal family.

Looking at the young man sitting upright against the carriage wall, Gu Ying smiled helplessly, "Your subject, pays respects to Prince Shu..."

Prince Shu Li Yang was the son of Concubine Wan, and also the illegitimate eldest son of the Emperor.

In Bianjing, he was famously virtuous, cultured and talented. He often spoke up for the people, and was deeply loved by the common folk. This was also why the Emperor had not established a crown prince all these years.

Back when the Emperor was still Prince Rui, he travelled to Jiangnan and fell in love at first sight with Concubine Wan Nalan Xing in Changzhou, and stayed in Changzhou for over three months, cohabiting with Nalan Xing, harboring deep feelings for each other.

Three months later, there was a big change in court. Prince Rui was escorted back to the capital, and fortunately succeeded to the throne.

The newly enthroned Tianqi Emperor's position was unstable then, and he had no choice but to form a marriage alliance with the Su family who supported his ascension, marrying the Su family's daughter as Empress.

At the same time, the Emperor secretly sent people to Changzhou to look for Nalan Xing's whereabouts.

When Nalan Xing was found, she had already given birth to the Tianqi Emperor's eldest son, who later became Prince Shu Li Yang.
