He didn’t do it, which means he must have had some feelings for Miss Yuan, right?

Clever boy, no wonder he was indifferent to match-making in the past; turns out he had his eyes on the Yuan family’s young lady all along.

This Miss Yuan is truly outstanding, not comparable to ordinary noble daughters.

Just consider this incident, if it were someone else, they wouldn’t have the courage to take all the blame themselves and firmly refuse to implicate Gu Changqing.

Old Marquis had no idea that the reason Gu Changqing did not knock out Yuan Baolin was that the aphrodisiac she was under was too potent, causing difficulty breathing. If she truly passed out, she might have suffocated to death.

“I have matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first.” Gu Changqing gave the Prime Minister Yuan a bow and also gave a faint bow to the old Marquis, then turned and left the room.

The little Taoist nun chased after him.

“Miss Yuan, rest assured, I will not agree to marry.” He knew she didn’t want to marry him.

“I won’t agree either!” She also knew he had no intention of marrying her; the pressure should not fall on him alone.

Gu Changqing thought she chased after him because of this matter. Since they had clarified it, he should leave.

“I’ll take my leave.” He turned around and left.

“Wait!” The little Taoist nun called out to him.

Gu Changqing stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her: “Is there something else Miss Yuan is worried about?”

“I… I really…” The little Taoist nun’s gaze flickered as she touched her belly.

Gu Changqing’s gaze swept over her small gesture, opened his mouth, and with a sigh said, “You’re not pregnant… With that level of contact, it’s impossible for you to be pregnant.”

The little Taoist nun frowned in confusion: “But I clearly…”

Gu Changqing had spent all his facial worth for his lifetime: “Becoming pregnant… requires a man’s… cooperation.”

The little Taoist nun mumbled: “That’s what’s written in the storybooks. When a woman drugs a man, she pushes him down, and then she’ll have a child!”

Gu Changqing asked her strangely: “You’re a Taoist nun, why are you reading romantic novels?” Romantic novels kill people.

Gu Changqing felt that this topic couldn’t be continued, he planned to leave.

The little Taoist nun suddenly looked at Gu Changqing with sympathy: “Or is it that you’re not capable? The stories say that if a man is incapable, a woman won’t get pregnant.”

Gu Changqing: “…!!”

Gu Changqing’s fists creaked: “In the future… don’t read those storybooks anymore!”

Gu Jiao was unaware that the matter between Gu Changqing and the little Taoist nun had reached Prime Minister Yuan and the old Marquis, but Gu Chengfeng knew!

He hid up in a big tree and had a solid watch of a good show!

Initially, when Gu Jiao had only let his older brother into the Courtyard while keeping him out, he sensed something amiss. After eavesdropping, he realized that his seemingly upright brother had secretly found him a sister-in-law!

Tsk tsk tsk, that speed, worthy of being an older brother!

It’s a pity for cousin Ling, though.

Ling Shuixian is wholly smitten with my older brother, determined to marry no one but him. I heard she’s even fasting at home recently.

Although Ling Shuixian is his cousin, he doesn’t really like her. Ling Shuixian is too arrogant and is not suitable to be the Madam of the Heir of the Marquis Residence.

Miss Yuan seems a bit more composed than Ling Shuixian, although her thoughts are somewhat… mm… indescribable.

Forget it, as long as big brother likes her!

It’s a pity that girl left early and missed this drama.

“Ah!” Gu Chengfeng patted his own head, “I haven’t bought the medicine from that girl yet!”

Gu Chengfeng used his light-footed skills and went to Bishui Alley.

Gu Jiao had already picked up Little Jingkong from Guozijian, who was now playing football with several neighborhood kids in the Backyard, while Gu Jiao was drying herbs in the Front Courtyard.

Gu Chengfeng told Gu Jiao about the developments between Gu Changqing and the little Taoist nun: “With this progress, we should soon have a sister-in-law!”

Us.

It was the first time he used such a word.

He had always been aware that the Gu Jiao before him was not the real Miss Gu Jiao, so he was also surprised by these two words blurted out unintentionally.

Luckily, Gu Jiao didn’t seem to notice his slip of the tongue at all. Gu Jiao uttered a sound and flipped the herbs in the sieve: “They’re quite a good match.”

Gu Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Gu Jiao did not follow up with questions like why did you use ‘us,’ are you eager to be my brother or something equally messy!

“Of course they’re a good match!” Concerned Gu Jiao might come to her senses, he hurriedly steered the conversation back to the couple, “One is the Heir of the Marquis Residence, and the other is Miss Yuan. Nothing like…”
