Chapter 249 I hope you will do what you say
He watched as his relatives and servants, who had lived with him day and night, died tragically under her sword, while he was just a bystander, unable to save any of them.
The helplessness, despair, hatred and wailing made him feel suffocated and he had no choice but to numb himself with alcohol.
But the next day, Gu Yi knocked on the door, looked at his concerned face, listened to his inquiring eyes, and hugged his warm body.
He woke up instantly.
"It was just a terrible nightmare. Everyone in Gujiabao is fine. My father and mother are fine. Gu Yi is also by my side. They are all living people. Why should I quarrel with you over that unrealistic nightmare?"
Yao Jia was stunned for a moment and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Until someone shouted "Fire, the bamboo forest in the backyard suddenly caught fire."
Yao Jia suddenly came back to his senses and looked towards the fire. He saw thick smoke billowing above the bamboo forest and flames shooting into the sky.
Shuqin actually...
Yao Jia's face suddenly changed. She lifted her skirt and prepared to go over, but Gu Xiyan held her in his arms. She felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, the two of them had already arrived on the street.
"What are you doing?" Yao Jia struggled to break free from his arms.
"There's a fire there. What if you get hurt?" Gu Xiyan's tone was filled with uneasiness and worry.
Yao Jia wanted to call him a fool, an impulsive person, and a big idiot.
Is she such a careless person? She just wanted to say a few words to Shuqin and asked him to destroy it, not burn it.
With such a fever, the news would surely reach Xuanyuan Wenyuan's ears immediately, and she would definitely not be able to sleep well tonight.
But when he met Gu Xiyan's concerned eyes, all the words of reproach were instantly stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them out.
He sighed slightly, cursed inwardly, "Minding your own business," and walked forward angrily.
"Jia Jia, where... are you going?" Gu Xiyan asked cautiously from behind.
Yao Jia continued walking forward without stopping, and said unhappily: "Go back to the post station!"
"But the post station is over here..." Gu Xiyan pointed in the opposite direction of where Yao Jia was walking and reminded.
Yao Jia stopped suddenly, looked around and found that he had taken the wrong road.
Damn!
He must have been so angry that he was confused. He was very annoyed, but he didn't want to turn around and let Gu Xiyan laugh at him, so he could only bite the bullet and keep moving forward.
"Of course I know. I'm... I'm hungry... Can't I go to the front and have a bowl of wontons?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan raised the corner of his lips, and quickly caught up with her, walking side by side with her.
"Okay, of course. Of course I can. I'm a little hungry too. Why don't I go with you?"
Yao Jia ignored him and quickened her pace, trying to leave him behind, but Gu Xiyan was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be shaken off.
One in front and one behind, they walked towards the bustling night market in the city.
Yao Jia had a stern face the whole way, and Gu Xiyan looked a little aggrieved. She was very careful all the way, fearing that she would touch her sore spot again.
The night market is brightly lit, and the sounds of hawking, laughter and shouting are heard one after another, making it very lively.
Yaojia stopped in front of a wonton stall.
"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons, with more chili."
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan hurriedly followed and sat down beside her.
"Boss, I want a bowl of wontons too, like hers, with extra chili."
Yao Jia rolled her eyes at him, muttered "you're such a smart copycat", and moved to the side to keep a distance from him.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan didn't get angry. He smiled and moved closer to her.
Yao Jia glared at him again, "You reek of alcohol, don't get so close to me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan quickly lowered his head and smelled himself, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of alcohol.
The smell wasn't strong, but she looked disgusted. She must be mad at him because of what happened yesterday.
He quickly got up, ran to the nearby stall, bought a string of candied haws, and came back to hand it to Yao Jia.
"Jia Jia, eat a bunch of candied haws and stop being angry, okay?"
Yao Jia looked at the string of red candied haws in front of her and felt it was particularly dazzling, so she raised her hand to push it away.
"Take it away, I won't eat it."
Gu Xiyan put the candied haws on the table and ran to the stall next to it to buy a string of candy figures.
"Jia Jia, do you think this candy figure looks like you?"
Yao Jia took a glance and found that the candy figure looked nothing like her at all. It was simply an insult to her looks.
She glared at him unhappily, "No, take it away."
During this time, the boss brought two bowls of steaming wontons.
Gu Xiyan was not discouraged. He put the sugar man on the table and got up to buy some fried skewers and pastries.
Yao Jia looked at the things piled on the table, frowned slightly, and looked at him in confusion.
"what are you doing?"
Gu Xiyan smiled flatteringly, "These are all your favorite foods."
Yao Jia was speechless. She sighed and spoke while looking at the wontons on the table.
"Yes, these are all my favorites, but I just want to eat this bowl of wontons in front of me right now."
After Yao Jia finished speaking, she stopped looking at him, picked up the spoon, scooped a delicious wonton, blew it cool, and ate it.
Gu Xiyan was a little confused, and his eyes were full of loss.
At this time, the wonton stall owner said, "Young man, I can see that this is your first time to coax a girl. Girls' minds are not as simple as you think."
Gu Xiyan looked at the stall owner and asked humbly, "Please teach me, old man."
The stall owner chuckled and said, "Do you think she only wants to eat wontons and nothing else?"
Gu Xiyan nodded, "What the old man said is absolutely right."
"That's it. She only wants to eat wontons now. She won't even look at anything else, no matter how delicious or expensive it is. Do you understand?"
Gu Xiyan nodded as if he understood, but he already understood in his heart.
After Yao Jia finished eating the wontons, she placed a silver ingot on the table.
Just as she was about to stand up, her wrist felt tight, and when she looked down, she saw Gu Xiyan holding her hand tightly.
Yao Jia frowned and tried to break free, but failed.
"What are you going to do again?"
Gu Xiyan looked up at her, his eyes were clear and bright, as if filled with stars.
"I am just like those things on the table that you don't want to see, let alone eat. It's like I always force my ideas on you even though you don't want them. But Jiajia, the emperor's order is hard to disobey. The marriage decree has been issued. If you disobey it, your family will be implicated."
Yao Jia closed her eyes and looked at him again, "So?"
Gu Xiyan took a deep breath, let go of her hand, and spoke slowly.
"So, you have to marry me. After the wedding, I will find an opportunity to ask His Majesty to issue an order to let me go to the border town to guard the territory. I will stay away from you and not disturb your life. Okay?"
Yao Jia was slightly stunned, her long eyelashes trembling like feathers, and she opened her mouth, "I hope you will do what you say."
Walk into the busy street.
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes but she refused to let them fall.
She agreed, didn't she?
Did you agree to it in person?
Agreeing to marry him is good enough. What else is there to be unwilling about?
I stood up and quickly caught up with her...
