Chapter 92 Let’s learn from our predecessors
Gu Xiyan frowned and looked at her, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips, "Dignity? Haven't I lost enough dignity today? How else do you want to humiliate me?"
Hongying smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, you misunderstood. Hongying did not mean to humiliate you. I just wanted to give you a few words of advice."
Gu Xiyan didn't say anything, just looked at the other person coldly.
"Hongying knows that the young master loves our young master, but it won't work just by pestering him. The reason why Young Master Langyue is favored by the young master is not because of his stunning looks."
Gu Xiyan's expression relaxed a little and he felt that this was true. If it was just based on looks, he believed he was not inferior to Lang Yue in any way. But why didn't Yao Jia like him?
After a pause, he asked, "What does he rely on?"
"Of course, I will obey the young master in everything. Master Gu should understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Yao Jia doesn't like being forced, even if that kind of force is good, she doesn't like it. Otherwise, why did she hate Nangong Xiu Lan so much?
Gu Xiyan's heart suddenly stopped.
Yes, Yao Jia doesn’t like being bound by others. Even though she liked Le Wuyou so much at the beginning, she still wanted to escape from Yongle Marquis Mansion.
But he used a marriage certificate to bind her.
Then what is the difference between him and the people of the Le family?
Gu Xiyan looked back at the water in the lake, struggled internally for a long time, and finally reached out and took out the red marriage certificate from his arms.
He was afraid that his mother would take the marriage certificate away, so he always carried it with him, but today, he had to return it in person.
Without even turning his head, he handed over the marriage certificate and said, "Tell Yaojia that I'm returning the marriage certificate just to make it happen, not because I don't like her. I..."
"Thank you, Master Gu!"
Hongying didn't let him finish his words and snatched the marriage certificate from his hand.
Then, with a whoosh, he disappeared from the spot.
Gu Xiyan: “……!!!”
Looking at his empty palms, he clenched his fists and smashed them against the pillar.
After Hongying got the marriage certificate back, she rushed back to Sanqing Temple and handed it to Yaojia.
Yao Jia just took a look and asked her to put it away.
"When Huaichuan comes back, you will take Qingzhu back to Kyoto and ask Father Lin to take the marriage certificate to His Majesty to cancel the engagement for me."
Hongying nodded and went down.
Yao Jia asked Qing Zhu to bring two pots of strong liquor. She sat by the window, looked at the sunset, and started drinking. After drinking half a pot of liquor, she was actually a little drunk.
He stood up and staggered into the house.
Qingzhu wanted to help her, but she blocked him with her hand, "No need to help, I'm not drunk yet."
As soon as he said this, he tripped over the threshold and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The splashing wine soaked shoes, socks and clothes.
"Oh, my clothes smell of alcohol. I need to take a shower."
Yao Jia lifted her skirt and turned into the bathroom.
Fortunately, there was always hot water available, so Qingzhu took off Yaojia's dress and helped her into the bathtub.
Yao Jia leaned against the bathtub with her eyes half closed and a relaxed expression. She looked lazy and comfortable.
Qingzhu was washing her hair and couldn't help asking, "Miss, have you really decided to cancel the engagement? That was a marriage granted by His Majesty."
Yao Jia opened her eyes and looked at Qing Zhu, "Why, do you think I can't retreat?"
Qing Zhu hurriedly shook her head, "I just feel it's a pity. Mr. Gu seems to be a good person and likes you so much."
During the year that Yao Jia was away, Gu Xiyan came to the mansion every now and then, just to see if the real Yao Jia had returned.
Every time he saw Hongying, she and Hongying saw the disappointment and pain on his face.
Yao Jia disagreed, "Why is it a pity? There are tens of thousands of men in the world, what does one Gu Xiyan count for?"
It would be understandable if he wasn't Sanlang, but unfortunately, he was Sanlang. How could she get over this hurdle in her heart?
Qingzhu thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Yao Jia closed her eyes again, feeling a tightness in her chest.
"Go and fetch the other jug of wine."
Qingzhu wanted to stop her, but she could see that Yaojia was in a bad mood today.
Drinking to relieve your sorrow is a better way.
Mingjue is here, so just let him give Yaojia some sobering pills.
Yao Jia leaned against the wall of the tub, holding the wine jug and drinking it up violently until she had finished all the wine in her hand. Only then did she come out of the tub with satisfaction.
I don’t know if she was drunk, but Yao Jia leaned on Qingzhu and kept calling Langyue’s name.
Qingzhu helped her sit on the head of the bed and changed her into her nightgown.
"Miss, have you forgotten? Young Master Langyue was taken back to Kyoto by Young Master Lan."
Yes, Langyue was taken away.
She was a person again now.
Nangong Xiu Lan, why do you always go against her, why do you always make her unhappy!
Knowing clearly that she couldn't leave Langyue, he still took him away.
Nangong Xiu Lan was really mean. He just wanted her to think about Lang Yue all the time and not let her leave for too long.
Despicable! Really despicable!
Yao Jia started to yell.
"Lang Yue... I want Lang Yue... to find him back... to find him back... to let him accompany me... to accompany me..."
Yao Jia was a little emotionally broken, and her eyes became redder.
"girl……"
Qingzhu felt a little helpless. Where could she go to find the bright moon in the middle of the night?
"Miss, you are drunk. I will go find Doctor Ming to check you out."
It was completely dark. Qingzhu lit the glass lamp on the bedside, then left the room and invited Mingjue over.
As soon as Mingjue entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol and quickly walked to the bedside with the medicine bottle.
On the bed, Yao Jia was wearing a red brocade nightgown, which outlined her exquisite body. Her slender waist, plump white breasts, and graceful and round long legs were all clearly visible under the thin fabric.
Mingjue's breathing stagnated, his eyes flickered, he clenched the medicine bottle in his hand, and his breathing almost became disordered.
After a long time, he sat down beside the bed and helped Yao Jia up, "Yaoyao, get up and take your medicine."
Yao Jia looked at the man beside her dimly, tilted her head, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Langyue, you are finally back. I missed you so much."
Mingjue looked at Yaojia with complicated eyes and said nothing.
Yao Jia wrapped her smooth arms around Ming Jue's neck and rested her head against his neck.
There was a hint of sadness in her voice. "I feel so bad. I've already got the marriage certificate back, but why do I feel so empty inside? It's as if a piece of me was torn away. It hurts... It hurts so bad."
As he said this, he took Mingjue's hand and asked him to rub his chest.
Mingjue was caught off guard and touched that fullness. His fair face instantly turned red and he hurriedly pulled his hand back.
Yao Jia was stunned and looked up at his face.
However, the light in the room was too dim, and Mingjue sat with his back to the light, so he could only see a rough outline. In addition, he felt dizzy, which made his eyesight even worse.
Yao Jia looked at Ming Jue with a naive face. Because of the wine, her cheeks were particularly red and her eyes were hazy with drunkenness.
The voice was soft and sticky, "Are you rejecting me?"
Mingjue's heart trembled. Why did Yaojia look so fragile today, making people want to pity her?
He slowly took Yao Jia into his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
He sighed softly, threw away the medicine bottle in his hand, patted Yao Jia's back gently, soothing her sadness at the moment, and closed his eyes tightly.
Forget it... don't think about it anymore... as long as I can be closer to her... it doesn't matter.
Yao Jia's mood was calmed down little by little by him, and she nestled in his arms like a cat.
After an unknown amount of time, Yaojia's breathing began to become even, and Mingjue thought she had fallen asleep.
He laid her down on the bed, and when he stood up, Yao Jia's arm hooked around her neck.
"Don't go... don't go... stay with me..."
Yao Jia opened her eyes, tilted her head, and stared at Ming Jue without blinking.
Mingjue looked at her cute and innocent appearance, his heart softened, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and the light in his eyes was as bright as stars.
