Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Night Black Wind High
Gu Jinzhen quietly looked at Qiao Yunxi’s side face.
The morning sun shone on Qiao Xi, shrouding her in a golden color. Perhaps the light was too strong. Gu Jinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, but his black eyes were fixed on Qiao Xi without blinking. He stubbornly did not move his eyes.
She was a bit taller than before, but before she could reach his chest, she was still too thin.
The blurry figure overlapped with the hazy memory. Gu Jinzhen carefully compared it and came to the conclusion that it was thinner than his previous life.
At the very least, when he saw her in the Third Prince’s mansion, although she was weak, she wasn’t as thin as she was.
His ears were slightly red, and Gu Jinzhen secretly pondered, “What can you eat to grow meat?”
Sensing his unhappy gaze, Gu Jinzhen smiled and said, “I’m here to apologize.”
Without waiting for Qiao Xi to reply, he continued, “The reason why I targeted you earlier was because … I recognized the wrong person. It was an act with personal emotions. It was because I was reckless.”
So easy to talk to?
Qiao Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
Gu Jinzhen’s words immediately relaxed. “I know that I mistook someone lightly. It’s not enough to compensate for what I did to you. Right now, I’m just glad that you wisely dodged what I did to you back then. It didn’t make me regret it for the rest of my life.” I know that you have prejudices against me, and you are even more vigilant against me. I deserve this situation, and I will bear the consequences. But … ”
“I hope you can give me a chance, not to make up for it, not to make up for it, but to reflect on it, to continue, and even more …” Gu Jinzhen’s eyes were burning as he looked at Qiao Yunxi.
“Opportunity.”
What opportunity?
It was naturally an opportunity for Qiao’s parents’ room.
Of course, this wasn’t his true words, but it was also one of his goals.
Qiao Yunxi was still vigilant as he looked at Gu Jinzhen. He did not turn hostilities into compromises just because of what he said.
Gu Jinzhen said seriously, “Well, I thought Qiao Jinwen was my savior. That’s why I protected her a few times. And because you and Qiao Jinwen were at odds, I targeted you. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”
This time, he was obviously more sincere than last time.
Qiao Xi’s expression slowed down, but she still asked reluctantly, “Then what?”
Gu Jinzhen shrugged, “Qiao Jinwen is not my savior, it’s you.”
She looked at Qiao Xi with a burning gaze.
Qiao Xi was not as surprised, angry, or unconcerned as he had expected.
A pair of cold eyes appeared on his calm face.
“So, are you repaying your kindness now?”
“No,” Gu Jinzhen shook his head decisively. “I’m apologizing for what I did wrong.”
As for repaying gratitude …
Last time, Tangyuan said, “I promise you with my body.” It seemed that it was not bad.
Qiao Yunxi looked at Gu Jinzhen’s absent-minded face because of the sudden divergence of his thoughts. “So, you want to cooperate with me in apologizing for the trouble you caused me because of your recklessness?”
“Yes.”
Of course, this was just one of them.
Helping Changfang leave the Qiao family was his goal.
If Qiao Xingbang wanted to split up, it wouldn’t be so easy because of Old Madam Qiao.
However, if the Qiao Clan did not split up, the long room would only be eaten clean by the people from the other rooms.
He did not remember how Qiao Family had split up in his previous life, Qiao Jinwen only mentioned it lightly. He only knew that when Qiao Family split up, Fang Four had taken away the eldest branch. Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu had long since died. Qiao Yunxi moved to her mother’s dowry manor. Qiao Jinwen would occasionally help her until she became the Third Prince’s outer court.
Feeling Gu Jinzhen’s aura suddenly change, Qiao Xi tilted her head and looked at him.
Storms brewed in his dark eyes, and he deliberately endured the bite on his cheek. The killing intent on his body was the killing intent that he had experienced for a long time in the battlefield.
What Qiao Jinwen said was just intentional guidance. In his previous life, he was just a chess piece.
After thinking through some things, he also changed some arrangements. In this lifetime, he not only wanted to return Qiao Xi’s life-saving kindness, he also wanted to compensate for the mistakes of his previous life and protect Qiao Xi in this lifetime.
Evening, monastery.
This was a mansion that the Wang Clan had purchased on the outskirts of Jincheng City. It was said to be used for summer holidays, but it had been vacant ever since it was purchased. Until the previous Wang Clan had repainted the courtyard overnight, adding all kinds of flowers and antiques.
Duanmu Qing was half lying on the couch of the imperial concubine in the bedroom. She wore a black golden silk robe and hung loosely on her body. She supported her head with one hand and half exposed her chest.
Honey-colored skin intertwined with golden silk edges. The difference in color was not big, but because of the golden light shining in the candlelight, it became ambiguous. The belt around his waist and abdomen was also untied in half, revealing a bright-grained abdomen, as well as a faint black color three inches below his navel.
Duanmu Qing had long hair hanging down her shoulders. The glass lamp in Duanmu Qing’s hand gently swayed. The turbid yellow color was somewhat incompatible with the transparency of the glass lamp. Duanmu Qing smiled faintly. A cup of yellow wine entered her stomach, and the wine that flowed out from the corner of her mouth fell onto her chest, sliding down her skin, and finally disappearing into her black imagination.
Wang De did not look sideways, but Gu Jinxuan, who was beside him, swallowed his saliva uncomfortably.
“Pu.”
Duanmu Qing smiled and said, “Speak.”
“Your Highness, after Gu Jinzhen returned to his boat, he went straight to the dock and headed towards the Earth Temple. He met Young Master Jin Family halfway.”
“Jin Baijin?” Duanmu Qing raised her eyebrows.
“Your Highness,” Wang De said respectfully, “it was an accidental encounter. Gu Jinzhen’s itinerary has been thoroughly investigated. He entered the city this morning and found Zhong Chenglin. The two of them boarded the boat and collided with our boat. They followed the Jinjiang River and arrived at the dock.”
“You’re such an interesting big brother.”
‘”Your Highness, Gu Jinzhen’s personality is already very obedient. He has been at the border all year round. Other than killing people, he doesn’t know anything else.” Gu Jinxuan’s expression instantly turned cold.
Gu Jinxuan was anxious to get rid of Gu Jinzhen and express his position and loyalty in front of the Third Prince.
Duanmu Qing smiled.
Under the candlelight, her feminine features were even more charming.
Gu Jinxuan hurriedly buried his head and looked nervously at his toes, but his eyes were fixed on the honey-colored skin that was reflected by the golden threads.
“Gu Jinzhen will not return to Jincheng for no reason. Call our people back.”
“Your Highness” Wang De looked at Duanmu Qing in confusion.
Duanmu Qing smiled again. “Don’t forget the purpose of our visit. The rest … just wait and see what happens.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
On February 2nd, Long raised his head.
It was destined to be an unusual night.
Li Ruicheng woke up with a splitting headache. Before he could adapt to the darkness around him, he habitually touched his side.
Water?
Wine?
Li Ruicheng shook his temples and twitched his fingers.
Sticky.
What is it?
Damn it!
Why did Qiao Linzi go? He didn’t know how to ask someone to guard him. He spat out a bed and no one cleaned it up!
Not even a candle!
The Li Clan is not poor to this extent!
With a hangover and a headache, Li Ruicheng’s temper was exceptionally irritable. He got out of bed and hastily took a step forward before stepping on his shoes, and then fell down without any accidents.
“Damn it!”
Feeling the smoothness of the ground and the dirt on his body, Li Ruicheng got up irritably. The stickiness of his entire body and the strange smell under his nose made him feel distracted and uncomfortable.
“This is it!”
“Go, find him!”
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Suddenly, the noise outside the room made Li Ruicheng even angrier. “Who’s shouting outside? Who’s keeping watch tonight? Who’s outside? Not even able to see the door!”
Before he could finish howling, a group of people broke through the door, holding torches and lanterns in their hands. The room suddenly lit up and the surroundings were in full view.
“Ah–”
“Kill!”
“Quickly report to the officer!”
Li Ruicheng was stunned, and the crowd turned from arrogance to shock.
Li Ruicheng didn’t know why, so he followed everyone’s gaze and looked to the ground, “Blood, this is blood!”
He jumped on the spot twice, but he couldn’t get rid of the blood stains on his shoes and socks. His raised hands were red under the fire, and that was even more blood.
Fear lingered around Li Ruicheng as he looked at his surroundings.
The group of fierce people had already retreated outside the room, and they were trembling as they looked at him. They stood at the front, shouting the loudest, and the two largest people were looking at him warily. The fear in their eyes was greater than the sorrow in their eyes.
Grief?
Why grief?
Li Ruicheng looked back blankly.
“Ah–”
Qiao Family.
Qiao Yunxi sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard, his toes lightly exerting force, and the rocking chair creaked, creaking twice.
“Qiao Linzi is back?”
“Young miss, my aunt is with Old Madame.”
That’s the spirit.
Qiao Yunxi laughed evilly.
Intermediate.
Old Madame Qiao sat on the main seat with a dark and calm face. She looked at Qiao Linzi who was crying with uncertainty.
Normally, she would have called out with a long heart and a short heart, but today, things had happened so suddenly that she obviously hadn’t recovered from her shock.
Qiao Linzi did not wait for Old Madame Qiao’s question and consolation. She gradually stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked at Old Madame Qiao with her red eyes.
“Tell me more carefully.” Old Madame Qiao forced herself to remain calm, but her trembling voice still exposed her emotions.
Qiao Linzi sobbed and said, “Yesterday, Rui Cheng went out to socialize. Mother, you know, men are only talking about those few places.” Rui Cheng drank a few more drinks, and the other party wrapped up Hua Niang very sincerely. Afraid that I would be worried, Rui Cheng asked the servant to come back and report. I didn’t care, so I went to sleep first. “Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the people from the government would suddenly come to their door and say that Rui Cheng had killed someone!”
“What happened in the middle?” Old Madame Qiao immediately got to the point that the ginger was still old and spicy.
Qiao Linzi didn’t care about her sadness and told her everything she knew. “Rui Cheng didn’t know either. He only remembered that he was in the Hua Lou and followed Hua Niang into his room. The officials had already talked to the madam and Hua Niang, and the people who were with him yesterday had also proved that Rui Cheng and Hua Niang were indeed …”
She gave Old Madame Qiao an obscure look.
