That meant that the woman standing beside Prince Zhongxin was Lady Shen?
For a moment, it ignited the gossip fire in everyone. Pairs of eyes flashed with a wolf-like light as they locked onto the two of them.
Then, everyone saw Prince Zhongxin, who never got close to women, actually took the initiative to hold Young Lady Shen's hand.
However, Eldest Miss Shen shook it off.
Gu Qingcang's face was as dark as water, and his entire body emitted a murderous aura. Everyone felt a chill on their foreheads and backs. They immediately did not dare to look so recklessly, only daring to peek out of the corner of their eyes.
Yueli really did not expect Gu Qingcang to actually hold her hand. She was just not used to it. As someone who could kill or be killed at any time, she was really not used to being so close to a stranger she was not familiar with.
Lou Shanglou covered her mouth and her eyes sneakily swept over the two of them. Something was not right.
"You…Aren't you Fengxi?" Lou Shanglou walked over to Yueli's side and asked in a low voice while gritting her teeth.
Yueli paused for a moment and was also dumbfounded. She only wanted to collect the debt. She…she had forgotten about the matter of the woman disguising as a man.
At the thought of this, he glanced at Gu Qingcang. He must have schemed against him!
Gu Qingcang met Yue Li's gaze and only smiled. He held her hand again and clenched it tightly. He strode in, wanting to go straight to the second floor. Lou Shanglou felt like she was going crazy and quickly followed.
The people in the hall looked at each other. Who said that King Zhongxin was not satisfied with this marriage?
Who said that wangye wanted to break off the engagement?
Was this how an engagement was supposed to end?
"Ninth Brother!"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out. Everyone's eyes immediately turned in the direction of the sound. They could not help but take a deep breath. Then, their faces revealed excitement. This time, there was going to be a show!
The person who came was none other than the only woman who could get close to King Zhongxin, Lady Luo Yu of the Falling Jade Pavilion.
Qin Luoyu was known as the number one beauty in Yun City. She wore a light purple dress that was elegant and refined. Her hair was tied up in a bun, her eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes were clear, and her lips were red. She really had a pair of beautiful eyebrows, her green hair was dyed with spring smoke, and when she moved, she was like a weak wind supporting a willow. She smiled sweetly and was full of charm.
What a beautiful woman!
Yueli looked at Gu Qingcang with a smile that was not a smile. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Gu Qingcang's hand was like an iron clamp, gripping her tightly, unwilling to let go in the slightest.
Qin Luoyu had already arrived in front of the two of them. Her eyes fell on the two of them holding hands. Her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. His body shook and he seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Lou Shanglou quickly held her and looked at her worriedly." Luoyu, why are you here? Wasn't he recuperating? Are you feeling better now?"
Qin Luoyu's mind was on Gu Qingcang, so she could not be distracted by Lou Loulou. She stared at Gu Qingcang with tears in her eyes and held her chest with one hand. She called out in a desolate voice," Ninth Brother…"
With such a beauty crying in front of her, even Yueli could not bear to see it, but she wanted to see how Gu Qingcang would react.
She turned around and her eyes fell on Gu Qingcang. He frowned slightly and looked at Qin Luoyu." It's not that I don't want you to come out. Let's recover first."”
Perhaps she heard Gu Qingcang's concern, Qin Luoyu instantly broke into a smile. She stepped forward and gently grabbed Gu Qingcang's sleeve. She said coquettishly,"I just wanted to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to meet you here.”
Gu Qingcang hummed and said,""Let's do it together."
Qin Luoyu's eyes looked at Yueli. There was a hint of pride in the depths of her eyes as she held onto Gu Qingcang's other arm.
Lou Shanglou had seen Yueli's skill of killing without a frown. She also knew that she was not a kind person, and even more so, she knew that she had a bad temper. Looking at this scene, he instantly felt his head swell up. Looking at Yueli's composure, he felt more and more uncertain.
Yueli's eyes retracted from Qin Luoyu's body. She struggled for a moment but still failed to break free from Gu Qingcang's palm. Deep down, he was annoyed. What chastity? What not getting close to women? What was wrong with this woman?
Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at Lou Shanglou. This was what he had said back then.
Being stared at by Yueli like that, Lou Shanglou only felt cold sweat almost dripping down her back. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he realized that his face was about to stiffen. He chuckled and quickly led the way, leading the group to the second floor.
Qin Luoyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile,"Xiao Lou, let's just eat on this floor. What do you think?”
Lou Shanglou laughed bitterly. How could he not know what Qin Luoyu was planning? He just wanted to test his highness 'feelings for Feng Xi in front of so many people. Those who could come upstairs for a meal had extraordinary status. If something really happened, Feng Xi would probably suffer.
However, he had been friends with Qin Luoyu for so many years, so he could not refuse. He could only go and see Gu Qingcang.
Gu Qingcang frowned. Before he could answer, Qin Luoyu smiled sweetly and said," Ninth Brother, the first floor is so lively. It's so boring to be alone on the second floor.”
Were the four of them eating alone?
Yueli sneered in her heart, but she was also very curious about what this woman would do next. It would be best if she could mess up her marriage with Gu Qingcang, so she did not praise her and waited quietly. She was very much like the rumored Miss Shen who had no opinions and was timid.
Gu Qingcang turned his head sideways to look at Yueli, but seeing that she had nothing to do with him and was looking down at the ground, he felt a fire burning in his heart.
He hated it when she treated him like a stranger.
"Alright."
Gu Qingcang agreed right away. He stared into Yueli's eyes but did not see any displeasure from her, making him even angrier.
Did she really not care at all?
When she said that she wanted to break off the engagement, it seemed that she was not playing hard to get. She really wanted to break off the engagement.
Qin Luoyu did not know what Gu Qingcang was thinking. She smiled and wanted to show off to Shen Yueli, but she realized that Shen Yueli did not even look at her. She felt like she was flirting with a blind man.
The hall was silent. Everyone's gaze fell on the four of them. Seeing that they had finally taken their seats in the hall, everyone's excitement grew stronger and stronger.
Qin Luoyu took the lead and sat down beside Gu Qingcang. Yueli did not even blink as she sat opposite him. Upstairs, Lou Ku sat down beside Yueli, not even daring to look at his highness 'dark face.
The innkeeper brought his men and served the signature dishes upstairs like flowing water. He nodded and bowed as he retreated. When he saw King Zhongxin's expression, he was so scared that his forehead was covered in cold sweat and his legs were about to go weak.
Qin Luoyu took a glance at everyone and felt a little unhappy in her heart. However, she smiled sweetly and pointed at Yueli, saying,""Ninth Brother, who is this lady? Is it Lou's lover?"
