Chapter 575 Sir, Please Stay (37)
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for helping Jiaojiao vent her anger."
"As long as you are happy, you will not have any more trouble. Seven days is too long. After five days, these two people will be imprisoned and killed, so that the prince will not be deceived by the witch."
"The Queen Mother is wise."
Chen Jiaojiao was delighted. She wanted to see how Deng Wenjie was tortured by Gu Yuxi. If he rejected her, he would have to pay the price.
The next day, Gu Yuxi was about to go to the pharmacy, but unexpectedly, a eunuch in charge came in with a group of people behind him. Li Jingshu asked, "Eunuch, what is this?"
"My Lord, this is a match made in heaven. Miss Gu, please accept my order?"
"Please tell me clearly, sir."
"We still need to read out the Queen Mother's order. Princess, please ask again later. Gu Yuxi will receive the order."
"I, Gu Yuxi, accept the order."
Gu Yuxi and the others knelt down, and the eunuch began to read out the Queen Mother's order: "...Five days from now will be a good day, and I order the two of you to quickly get married. I decree this."
"Long live the Queen Mother."
[Ah! Sister Xi, why are you paired with Lady Jie?]
[You can ask Chen Jiaojiao.]
"Miss Gu, this is a match made in heaven, you must cherish it."
"Thank you for the trip, eunuch."
The purse was handed over, the eunuch smiled, said a few compliments and left the ancient mansion.
"Xixi, if you don't want to, no one can make things difficult for you."
"Sister-in-law, the Queen Mother has made up her mind, and I cannot go against her will. Fortunately, I know Lord Deng well, and we both know each other well. I will not suffer any loss if I marry him."
"Hey, Lord Deng really likes you, and he has a good character. If you have no children..."
"Sister-in-law, how about you adopt one for me?"
"You are such a good girl. I am still giving you advice, but I didn't expect you to make fun of me again. But if Deng dares to embarrass you, I will ask the Crown Prince and His Majesty to take back their decision."
"Well, many men have boldly pursued me because of my wealth, and I am tired of it."
"This will always be your home. No matter what choice you make, your sister-in-law will support you."
"Sister-in-law, you are so nice!"
Li Jingshu pondered and felt that the Queen Mother had granted Gu Yuxi marriage because of her. Was there any involvement of Chen Jiaojiao?
"Don't go to the pharmacy. Stay in your boudoir and wait for your marriage. I will send someone to the Deng Mansion to find out the situation immediately."
"Yes."
Gu Yuxi had just returned to the yard, but she didn't expect Hui Gu to hand her a letter.
"Miss, Lord Deng ordered Dongfeng to deliver the letter personally."
"Ah."
After reading the contents of the letter, Gu Yuxi smiled and said, "I still want to climb over the wall tonight. Aren't you afraid of falling over the wall again? Otherwise, let him climb over it."
Because she was getting married, Gu Yuxi wanted to understand all the wedding procedures here. After all, some of the Queen Mother's people had to stay in Fuxing to see her and Deng Wenjie get married before they could go back.
That night, Gu Yuxi didn't want to stay up late, but she didn't expect the man to insist on climbing over the wall, so she had no choice but to go out and take a look.
"Sir, this is not appropriate. You will be getting married in four days. Such behavior is really detrimental to your status..." Dong Feng advised with a worried look on his face.
"Shut up! Get away from me if you keep talking!" Deng Wenjie shouted impatiently, clinging to the wall tightly with both hands.
Just as he was about to climb up, he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. His heart tightened, and he lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Who? Get out of here quickly, what if you get exposed!"
"Sir, don't be nervous, it's me. Let's talk." A familiar voice came, and Deng Wenjie turned around suddenly, only to see Gu Yuxi wearing a black cloak, standing gracefully behind him.
In the moonlight, her beautiful face was looming, causing Deng Wenjie's heartbeat to speed up involuntarily, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He nodded quickly and said, "Yuxi, I know you must have many doubts and concerns about this marriage, but the Queen Mother has already made the order, and I really don't want you to suffer any grievances."
Gu Yuxi nodded slightly and said softly, "Let's go." As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the carriage parked not far away.
The two of them got into the carriage together, and the atmosphere inside was somewhat solemn. Deng Wenjie opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know how to start.
Finally, it was Gu Yuxi who broke the silence: "Just say whatever you want to say. There is no need to hide anything between us."
Deng Wenjie took a deep breath and said with courage: "Yuxi, in fact, this marriage is entirely because I accidentally offended the Queen Mother and implicated you. If you don't want to marry me, I will try my best to ask the Queen Mother to take back her decision."
After saying this, he looked at Gu Yuxi anxiously, waiting for her response.
Deng Wenjie didn't dare to look at Gu Yuxi because she didn't like him and he was afraid that she would agree to his proposal.
"Lord Deng, you once said that you like me, but do you really like me?" Gu Yuxi stared at the man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, a hint of doubt and uncertainty in her eyes.
Deng Wenjie felt nervous when he saw Gu Yuxi questioning his feelings. He quickly reached out his hands to hold Gu Yuxi's weak shoulders and said anxiously, "I...Yuxi, the world can tell how I feel about you. I absolutely love you. You must believe me!"
Gu Yuxi frowned slightly, gently broke away from Deng Wenjie's hand, and said softly: "But if you marry me, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world? After all, my..."
Deng Wenjie answered without hesitation: "I don't care about those gossips! As long as I can be with you, nothing else matters."
However, Gu Yuxi still had concerns and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Deng Wenjie.
He was afraid that the woman would say no to him again, so he suddenly hugged her tightly and said affectionately, "Yuxi, when the Queen Mother said she wanted to marry us, I was so happy that I almost went crazy. I had never experienced such joy before.
Maybe you don't like me now, but can you give us a chance to get to know each other? Let time prove that my love for you is not just a momentary impulse. "
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. There was silence all around, with only the intertwined breathing of the two people.
After an unknown amount of time, Deng Wenjie finally felt the person in his arms move, and then heard a soft but firm voice: "Okay."
This simple word was like the sound of nature to Deng Wenjie. He was so excited that he could hardly control himself and muttered to himself, "Good... It's really great."
Then, he hugged Gu Yuxi even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his body and never separate from her again.
Deng Wenjie could hardly conceal his inner excitement. He kissed the woman on the forehead. Their eyes met and his face flushed. Fortunately, it was dark.
"I swear on my life that in this life, I, Deng Wenjie, will only have you as my woman, no matter how many mountains there are and how many rivers there are."
