After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 226

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, as that was the carriage of the Duke's manor, an entirely different class from their family's carriage.

She immediately pushed Gu Shuang, "Go on, go with your second sister."

Fu Xunzhi stood not far behind her, and Gu Shuang shyly murmured "um".

Gu Ying held out her hand from inside the carriage.

Gu Shuang's tender, fair little face was hidden under her hood, gentle and tranquil, looking gentle and demure.

She had never imagined that life could be so comfortable and happy.

After her second sister fell into the water, it wasn't just her second sister herself, the days of the Fu manor and her had also become much more bright and open.

She got on the carriage, sitting in the spacious, warm carriage box, curiously looking left and right.

This carriage was too big, inside it was like a small room, not only spread with a thick goose down velvet blanket, but also equipped with an animal head brazier, the seat cushions exquisite and gorgeous, the rosewood side table held all kinds of beautiful, delicious snacks, and there were also new types of tribute fruits she couldn't name.

Gu Shuang looked at it enviously, tears almost flowing from the corners of her mouth. "Second sister, he treats you so well, this tribute fruit, I'm afraid it was an imperial reward right? I haven't even seen them before."

"This is a raspberry, little fourth sister, try it," Gu Ying only wanted the fourth little sister to enjoy good things, smilingly said, "It's still alright...I guess."

His good treatment of her was not limited to these things.

Before leaving, he had already arranged everything for her, she almost didn't need to worry about anything.

No need to serve the in-laws, no need to watch her mother-in-law's facial expressions to get through the days, also no need to go pay respects every day, and even more no need to care about the eyes of other people in the Duke's manor.

Sleep as late as she wanted, when she wanted to get up she could, eat whatever she wanted, just have people go buy it.

This kind of married life was what she hadn't even dared to imagine before.

"The Heir Apparent is really a rare kind of man, much better than Young Master Jiang from back then," Gu Shuang said without thinking, "Second sister you were lucky to promptly cut your losses, and dump that Young Master Jiang."

Gu Ying faintly curled the corners of her lips, a few minutes of cryptic laughter in the corners of her eyes.

"Why hasn't Jiang Yin come back today?"

"Second sister..." Gu Shuang's lips paused as she ate the raspberry, "You can't still be thinking about that Young Master Jiang right?"

Gu Shuang also knew a little about how her second sister had stubbornly and desperately pursued that one surnamed Jiang back then.

At the time, she hadn't liked that one with the Jiang surname very much, always feeling that although he came from humble origins, he always put on lofty, self-important airs, and liked to pretend to be extraordinary.

A man like this, even if he achieved meteoric success in the future, his temperament was already set, it wouldn't get much better.

Gu Ying sneered coldly, "How is that possible?"

She opened the curtain inside the carriage window, lightly glanced outside at the bustling, lively main street, desolately said a sentence, "I never liked him before."

At that time her life was too narrow, as small as a palm-sized courtyard.

Seeing a handsome and beautiful as jade person, she had thought he was that beautiful older brother she had seen in her childhood, loving him desperately in her heart, and then only having him in her heart.

Ruining her entire life for him, for him giving up all of her dignity, for him losing her life.

After being reborn, she only then knew she had recognized the wrong person from the very start, giving her heart to the wrong person.

All of this had been wrong from the very beginning.

Thinking of it now, had she really loved him?

Probably hadn't counted as love at all, it was just unwillingness.

Gu Ying smiled bitterly in her heart, somehow, she thought of the Heir Apparent again, wondering if they had safely passed the Half Slope.

Gu Shuang became happy again, "That's good then. Second sister, you have to spend your whole life together with the Heir Apparent!"

In her heart, aside from Fu Xunzhi, there was no better man than the Heir Apparent in this world.

A trace of haziness and complex emotions floated through Gu Ying's heart, she and the Heir Apparent...whether they could make it to the end also depended on their affinity.

Fu Xunzhi's carriage slowly followed along after theirs.

Once they were on the street, crowds of people flowed about.

Gu Ying thus wanted to get off the carriage and stroll around the lantern festival.

After getting off the carriage, Fu Xunzhi walked up to Gu Ying and Gu Shuang, greeting them with a silly bow.

Gu Shuang's little face flushed red, carefully raising her eyelashes to glance at him, also not knowing what to say that was good, "I...we'll go...go for a walk over there."

Fu Xunzhi gently smiled, "Alright, I'll listen to Fourth Young Lady."

The two looked at each other, happiness and joy in both their eyes.

Seeing their intimate appearance, Gu Ying also felt happy in her heart.

With female servants and maids as well as guards following along behind them, there was nothing much to be overly concerned about either.

She slowly followed along behind those two, watching them play, watching them laugh, quietly thinking about the Heir Apparent in the snow, peacefully walking.

After strolling on the bustling streets for a while, the few had also gradually warmed up to each other.

Gu Shuang rarely went out, seeing those things glittering on the street appearing novel to her, and had bought quite a few things.

Now seeing a large group of people crowded together in front not knowing what they were playing off in the distance, she excitedly said, "Young Master Fu, can I go play that?"

"You can, Fourth Young Lady," Fu Xunzhi agreed with a smile, his ordinary brows and eyes faintly shining in the night.

Gu Shuang had never been valued so highly by someone before, him looking at her caused her little face to flush red and ears burning, she turned back, "Second sister, do you want to go together?"

Gu Ying shook her head, she actually felt a little tired, "You guys go play, I'll walk around here myself for a bit, and come find you later."

Gu Shuang grinned happily, extremely delighted, "Second sister, then we'll go over first!"

Gu Ying smiled with a slight nod, "Mm."

After Gu Shuang and Fu Xunzhi left, Gu Ying smiled as she slowly walked beneath a row of decorative lanterns for a while, if the Heir Apparent was also at her side right now it would be wonderful.

Hand in hand enjoying the decorative lanterns, guessing lantern riddles together, writing soulmate signs together, these sorts of things were also a huge delight in life.

Yin Lan helped snatch one of the soulmate signs from under the giant affinity tree for Gu Ying.

Gu Ying carefully wrote her and the Heir Apparent's names on the paper, "Don't speak nonsense about dying or not, you live properly for me, and live for a good long life of one hundred years."

Bian Zhi pouted and curiously peeked at the soulmate sign, "Did Mistress write the Heir Apparent's name?"

Yin Lan laughed, "Are you silly, who else could it be besides the Heir Apparent?"

Bian Zhi said, "I just asked!"

Yin Lan said, "Silly girl."

Gu Ying smiled lightly glancing downwards, time passed innocently now, thinking of the Heir Apparent her heart also softened.

She sincerely hung the soulmate sign on the tree.

Raising her head, she suddenly saw a flash of blue clothes leisurely standing on the opposite bank of the river.

Her body violently froze in place, her eyes swiftly condensing frost.

Across the width of the river, Jiang Yin hooked the corner of his mouth, a deep bottomless black gaze looked towards Gu Ying through the endless clamoring, lively noise.

He moved his lips, calling out to her, "Ah Ying, long time no see."
