Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 286 is my ideal man

There was another reason why he came over as soon as he finished his shift: it was about the relationship between Mu Yun Chu and his younger sister.

Of course, only he and Gu Yuanen know about this relationship at home right now. Now that he has returned to the capital, he wants to ask his sister what she thinks.

"Um, there's something I need to tell you, little sister. Don't be embarrassed or angry, okay?" Gu Yuanming straightened his crumpled robes and asked tentatively.

Gu Qingyue looked up, somewhat intrigued.

Third Brother always has a serious and handsome face. What could possibly make him feel embarrassed or annoyed?

Seeing Gu Qingyue blinking her big eyes and listening attentively, he composed himself and asked, "What exactly is your relationship with the Seventh Prince? What are your plans for the future?"

The key issue is that Mu Yun Chu's words and actions implied that she was treating his younger sister as his fiancée, which displeased him!

My little sister, whom I just found, hasn't even had a chance to warm up to her yet, and she's already being snatched away by that wolf?!

Gu Qingyue suddenly understood why these two people had come to her courtyard so mysteriously in the evening.

"Have you asked Mu Yun Chu about this?" Gu Qing Yue asked frankly, without the slightest bit of shyness.

Gu Yuanming and the other man exchanged a glance, surprised by their younger sister's composure and her direct address of the Seventh Prince by his given name. Shouldn't she be ashamed or embarrassed?

Well, his sister's cleverness is indeed extraordinary!

In fact, he knew in his heart that his younger sister and Mu Yun Chu already had a close relationship before they recognized each other.

The siblings have missed so many years, and they have no right to ask their younger sister to give up her relationship with Mu Yun Chu.

But deep down, he still hoped that his younger sister could reconsider.

"Not yet. Of course, we need to know what my sister thinks before deciding whether to go to him," Gu Yuanen said.

Gu Qingyue shrugged. "He's the boyfriend I've decided on now, that's all."

"Boyfriend?" Gu Yuanming looked puzzled.

"Oh, he's the one I've been waiting for. You can understand now, right?" Gu Qingyue added, without blushing, feeling shy, embarrassed, or awkward at all.

Gu Yuanen and Gu Yuanming exchanged a glance, and sure enough.

"And what about him towards you?" Gu Yuanen couldn't help but ask.

He was concerned about his sister's marriage, but he was also afraid that the seventh prince didn't truly care for her and only wanted to toy with her feelings.

How many royal men are truly sincere?

It's no wonder he thinks that way. It's very normal for royal men to have one queen, two concubines, and countless mistresses. There's always more, never less.

Even the most virtuous and self-disciplined Second Prince, Kang Wang, once took a concubine.

If the Seventh Prince is the same way, then they must fight to the death to prevent him from having any further involvement with their sister, and they absolutely cannot let their sister be sad.

"It's great, it looks pretty good so far," Gu Qingyue said honestly.

“Okay, brother understands,” Gu Yuanming said with a complicated expression. He paused and then added, “The capital is not like Lizhou. There are many eyes watching the Duke’s mansion. It’s best if you and him don’t meet for the time being. It’s not good for your reputation.”

Gu Yuanming knew in his heart that the Seventh Prince must care about his younger sister.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought up Yue Zhiqi's matter today.

Because the two cannot have any public involvement at the moment, the Seventh Prince cannot personally do anything, otherwise, if someone finds fault with him, it will be detrimental to his younger sister's reputation.

"Okay, sure," Gu Qingyue nodded obediently, secretly smiling to herself. That guy had already come before, but no one had noticed.

Sigh, in ancient times, you had to keep your relationship a secret.

Not to mention going out for meals and drinks together on dates.

Although the customs of the Great Chu were relatively open, it was only allowed to exchange a few words in public with many people; private meetings between two people were not permitted at all.

She wants to go back to Lizhou! No, she wants to go back to the world of her past life! She wants to take Mu Yun Chu with her.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I thought of the worried looks in my two older brothers' eyes today. I guessed that my grandfather would find out soon. Would my grandfather object to my association with the seventh prince?

"The past life was better," Gu Qingyue thought, and then she flashed into her spatial dimension.

There is no darkness in the space; it is always bright with clear skies and gentle breezes.

Pushing open the gate and entering the villa, Gu Qingyue finally felt that she had indeed lived here; she was not a native of ancient times.

However, there's no going back.

Gu Qingyue walked around the villa, then went into the garage and touched her beloved car, knowing she probably wouldn't have many chances to use it again.

There are three cars parked here: a black SUV, a silver sedan, and my favorite motorcycle.

I probably won't have the chance to open one in my lifetime.

Gu Qingyue went to the stream again and found that the fruits on the longevity tree were already reddish-purple, which was quite an eye-opener!

The book says that the Longevity Fruit takes three years to mature, but since it entered the space, its growth is simply incomparable to that outside.

But it matured way too fast! Well, that's good, I'll be able to try making the elixir of immortality soon.

Following the stream, Gu Qingyue arrived at the orchard.

Seeing all sorts of fruits hanging on the trees, my mouth immediately watered.

Without a second thought, Gu Qingyue immediately went forward and picked a basket of oranges. They were round and big, and the rich aroma of oranges was so enticing that it made her mouth water.

Gu Qingyue strolled back to the villa's kitchen with her basket, washed and cut an orange. The orange juice was sweet and the flesh was plump. Gu Qingyue suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Could she bring a basket for the Qin family?

She's still recovering from her illness, so eating more fresh fruit would be very beneficial, but wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

I recall seeing oranges and similar fruits for sale on the street today. It seems that people in this era already knew how to preserve autumn and winter fruits. I hope that taking them out won't arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, he took the basket and went out to pick a large pile of more before leaving the space.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingyue went to Qin's room and put down a basket of oranges. The room was soon filled with a sweet fruity aroma, which made Qin smile with delight.

Today she was able to get out of bed and walk around. She sat down at the octagonal table, picked up an orange, and smelled it. "Why is the fruity aroma so strong?"

"Yes, Madam, I've never seen such big and fragrant oranges before. They're so fresh, like they were just picked!" Qin's head maid stood by the table, her eyes sparkling. She was a lively girl.

"Yesterday I happened to see a farmer selling his wares on the street, and I thought they looked good, so I bought some," Gu Qingyue said vaguely.

Madam Qin nodded and turned to look at the maid behind her.

"Sangzhi, hurry up and go wash them, cut some fruit, and Yue'er and I will eat together," Qin Shi said, holding Gu Qingyue's hand tightly and refusing to let go. Gu Qingyue gave in to her.

"Oh dear," the maid who had just had bright, sparkling eyes immediately began to tidy up.

Only after seeing Sangzhi leave with the basket did Qin turn her head.

"Has Yue'er been happy these past few days? Is there anything she's missing? I didn't have a chance to ask yesterday, but did you make any friends at Minister Cui's residence? Did you meet any young ladies?..."

Gu Qingyue: So this is how a mother treats her child?!
