Chapter 51: Are You a Devil?
Hearing Gu Yu’s direct inquiry, Director Qingshan smiled helplessly.
Immediately, he did not hide anything but explained the whole story.
“I’ve made you laugh. Zhongjing fell in love at first sight with a woman some time ago, but he doesn’t know her name or address. He’s been bottling up his feelings for a long time, and he’s become unhappy… It was his uncle who first noticed something was wrong, and only after we asked did we find out about this matter.”
“So, you’re using this marriage proposal as a guise to find that woman for Ruan Zhongjing?”
“It’s not entirely a guise. After all, Zhongjing is no longer young. If he really finds someone he likes, it would be great to get married early!”
When it came to his son’s lifelong event, Director Qingshan was very worried. He thought that Zhongjing had finally found someone he liked, but they still hadn’t found her.
He really didn’t know if even heaven was giving him a hard time…
When Gu Yu heard the reason, his doubts were cleared.
It seemed like spring had arrived!
“Searching like this is too inefficient. There are many merchants and travelers stopping in Lian Town. If that woman happens to pass by, the chance of finding her is too low.”
“Alas, what should we do about this!”
“If Director Qingshan trusts me, you can tell me the general appearance of that woman, and I’ll see if I can ask someone else to get the information.”
Gu Yu felt that the Qingshan family was quite good.
So, at this moment, he proactively offered to help.
Of course, he would definitely find the alliance later to resolve this problem and let them use their powerful network to find that woman.
“Currently, we only know that she likes to wear white clothes, wear a veil on her face, and has purple eyes…”
“Wait, wearing a veil? How did Ruan Zhongjing fall in love with her! He didn’t even see her full face. What if she’s an ugly monster when the veil is removed!”
As he listened, Gu Yu suddenly felt something was not right.
After interrupting Director Qingshan, Gu Yu looked at him suspiciously. He didn’t understand how Ruan Zhongjing fell in love at first sight with the woman who was wearing a veil!
Could it be by brainwaves?
That’s too powerful!
Before, Dan Chengfeng fell in love with Bai Linyue at first sight because Bai Linyue’s face greatly resembled his dream lover, which is why he started pestering her and finally married her.
However, Ruan Zhongjing’s situation was a bit strange…
And the other party had purple eyes???
She was clearly not from Lian Town!!!
Even if Qingshan Academy searched for a few hundred years, they wouldn’t find that woman!
Just as Gu Yu was inwardly complaining, Director Qingshan awkwardly raised his hand to stroke his beard, clearly finding his son’s love at first sight equally incredible.
But, who can blame Ruan Zhongjing for liking her!
For this young son he had lost and regained, Director Qingshan wished he could pick the stars and moon for him, but it still wouldn’t be enough!
“This… according to Zhongjing, it was the young lady’s temperament that captivated him, which is why he fell in love with her at first sight.”
“Director Qingshan, you’ve lived in Lian Town for many years. You should know that there are no girls with purple eyes in town!”
“This… perhaps she was visiting relatives. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have appeared in Lian Town for several days, and only recently disappeared.”
Hearing the explanation about her temperament, Gu Yu was speechless.
Alright, he was being too fanciful.
Perhaps the white-clothed young lady had an extraordinary temperament, and after just one glance, Ruan Zhongjing felt that he would marry no one else in this life.
However, what if the other party was already married?
Did Ruan Zhongjing want to steal someone else’s wife???
“Cough, cough, judging by the fact that the accompanying people called her Miss, that young lady is not married yet.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s thoughtful expression, Director Qingshan, perhaps sensing it was too obvious, cleared his throat twice and quickly stated that the person Ruan Zhongjing fell in love with was not married.
If word got out that he liked another man’s wife, his son’s reputation would be ruined!
“Is that so? I’ll help inquire. However, there might not be any results…”
“It’s fine. Zhongjing and I thank you for your help! Since you’ve come all this way today, why don’t you stay for a meal!”
“No, we’ve just returned from elsewhere and haven’t gone home to tidy up yet… We’ll come again when we have time in the future. Please don’t feel troubled!”
“Not at all, not at all.”
After learning the reason for Qingshan Academy’s marriage proposal and seeing that the three of them in the academy were getting along quite harmoniously, Gu Yu didn’t intend to stay any longer and wanted to hurry back home.
Zitan in the space was still waiting for his research!
Seeing Gu Yu’s eagerness to go home, Director Qingshan did not insist further. Instead, he stood up to see Gu Yu and his companions off, hoping that Gu Yu could get information about his future daughter-in-law.
If Zhongjing’s lifelong event was resolved soon, he could find someone to accompany him for a hundred years.
…
“Brother-in-law, purple eyes… could they be people from the Western Regions! I still remember that when we were in the capital before, you dealt with a group of Western Region women who opened a tea house. Could it be one of them!”
“It’s unlikely. How long has it been? They’ve probably gone back by now! Besides, those foreign women have blue or green eyes. Purple is a bit rare…”
As they walked back, Gu Qingheng asked curiously, but Gu Yu shook his head directly and said it was impossible.
Before, at the Gu Residence, Ruan Zhongjing had good looks and a scholarly demeanor. Compared to the guards and servants around him, he was like heaven and earth.
This made the beautiful maids in the mansion always find excuses to approach him, but unfortunately, Ruan Zhongjing was like a block of wood, completely unresponsive to flirtation.
Who would have thought that after coming to Lian Town, he would suddenly open up.
“Don’t overthink it. We’ll hand it over to the people from the alliance later. Qingheng, you should focus on practicing martial arts. We’re almost home.”
“Brother-in-law, are you a devil?”
After that, Gu Yu didn’t think about these things anymore and was eagerly looking forward to returning home.
Gu Mengyao was also like that, already impatient to practice her swordplay!
Except for Xi Yang, who had already driven the carriage away, only Gu Qingheng sullenly puffed out his cheeks and mourned his unfortunate future life.
Damn it!
So unwilling!
“Hey? Isn’t this our carriage? Why is it stopped on the side of the road before we even got home?”
“Careful, there’s a problem.”
Just as Gu Qingheng was feeling dejected, he looked up and saw their carriage parked on the side. As soon as he spoke, he saw Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao’s faces turn serious, and they immediately pushed him behind them.
When something unusual happens, there must be a reason!
Looking at the carriage parked on the roadside, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Why couldn’t he even have a peaceful ride home!
