Chapter 144 Don’t be afraid
When Ye Wu heard this, he began to struggle. Could it be her?!
"Fifth Young Master, don't move."
Seeing that he seemed to want to get down, the man carrying him said seriously.
After hearing this, the other members of the Ye family looked at each other, and Mother Ye said, "Let's go and see what's going on."
When the group arrived outside the door, they saw a heroic woman with her hair tied up riding a horse. Behind her were several carriages full of things.
“Maybe he’s just passing by?”
But if he was passing by, why would he come straight towards their Ye family?
Gu Qingyuan traveled for two days before arriving in Jiangzhou. After asking the people in Jiangzhou for directions, she went straight to Ye Mansion.
Seeing the Ye Mansion decorated with lights and colorful decorations, he frowned. Could it be that he was still too late?
When they were almost at the gate of the Ye family, Gu Qingyuan pulled the reins, stopped the horse with a "whoosh", and then rolled off the horse in a graceful manner.
When they saw her appearance clearly, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The man was wearing a short black suit, and his figure was indifferent yet majestic.
"Excuse me, is this the home of Prefect Ye?"
Hearing her voice, everyone finally came to their senses. Mother Ye stepped forward and said, "That's right, but who are you?"
Seeing that everyone was very respectful to this woman, Gu Qingyuan guessed that she must be Ye Wu's mother and became a little more polite.
"My name is Gu Qingyuan, and I'm here today to propose marriage."
Mother Ye searched for the name Gu Qingyuan in her mind. Then, her pupils dilated slightly and she said in disbelief, "You are... Young Master Gu?"
Gu Qingyuan nodded, not expecting that she still recognized him.
Although Ye's mother was far away in Jiangzhou, she knew about General Gu and knew that she had a daughter named Gu Qingyuan.
Moreover, Young Master Gu also made an indispensable contribution to the battle between Da Ning and Nanjiang.
"Young Master Gu just said that he came here today to... propose marriage?"
When the others heard the words "Young Master Gu", they were confused. Unlike Prefect Ye, they did not know the news from the capital.
When Ye Wu heard Gu Qingyuan's voice in the yard, hope ignited in his heart. He knew that she would definitely come. As long as she came, he wouldn't have to enter the sea of fire.
He continued to struggle and said, "Put me down, I want to see her!"
Outside the door, Gu Qingyuan was talking to Ye's mother.
She said calmly, "Ye Wu and I hit it off right away and felt we were destined to be together, so I came to the Ye family to propose marriage and marry him."
Originally, marrying a concubine did not need to be so grand, but in order to express her importance to Ye Wu, Gu Qingyuan still came in person with the betrothal gifts.
Mother Ye said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Young Master Gu. My son has already been engaged to the Wang family."
The Wang family she mentioned was the wealthy businessman.
"You can withdraw after you have made the decision."
Gu Qingyuan smiled gently.
"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
Seeing that she came prepared, Ye's mother was worried about how to give an explanation to the Wang family.
But at this moment, Gu Qingyuan heard a commotion in the yard. She heard someone who looked like a servant of the Ye family say, "Fifth Young Master, you can't touch the ground when you get married today. It's unlucky!"
But Ye Wu shook his head. He didn't want to marry that wealthy businessman, so he didn't care about these things. Now he just wanted to see Gu Qingyuan as soon as possible.
Gu Qingyuan was tall and saw Ye Wu, who was tied up, at a glance. She walked through the crowd and went in.
Before anyone could react, they saw her stepping into the Ye family yard.
Before the servant could touch Ye Wu again, Gu Qingyuan went over and skillfully cut the rope on Ye Wu with a dagger.
Ye Wu, who had regained his freedom, was not sure whether he was excited or happy when he saw Gu Qingyuan. He said with grievance: "You are here. I thought you would not come."
Gu Qingyuan saw traces of ropes on his hands, and the veil on Ye Wu's head had already fallen to the ground while he was pushing and shoving with the servant.
A cold face was completely revealed. Unlike the cold and arrogant look he had when Gu Qingyuan first met him, he was now just a poor man waiting for his beloved to save him.
Gu Qingyuan comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ye Li jumped out first, looked at their hands holding each other and shouted angrily: "What Young Master Gu, you dare to take my fifth brother away today, you must pass me first."
Gu Qingyuan looked at her and then at Ye Wu.
No wonder he was able to enter Baichuan Academy as a woman. He and the woman in front of him looked so much alike, almost like twins, a boy and a girl.
Immediately afterwards, Sister Ye also spoke.
"That's right. I think you came here today just to cause trouble. I advise you to leave quickly. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
"Ye Wu, you actually let a strange woman touch your hand openly. You have no shame."
Hearing the accusation, Ye Wu subconsciously wanted to let go of Gu Qingyuan, but she held him even tighter.
Gu Qingyuan said lightly, "Since I came here today, I intend to take him away. I wanted to discuss it with you, but since this is the case, forget it."
Outside the door, the Wang family's bride-picking party had arrived. Seeing the carriage parked at the door, they walked inside.
"What's going on here?"
"It's this woman! She wants to steal the bride today!"
Someone pointed at Gu Qingyuan and said.
When they heard the word "bride kidnapping", the people of Wang family could not stand it any longer. Their head of the family was about to die. They were going to marry Ye Wu today to bring good luck, but this woman actually dared to kidnap the bride.
A group of people surrounded Gu Qingyuan, but Gu Qingyuan was not panicked at all.
Ye Wu was worried about her and gently pushed her, "Or, you should just leave me alone."
His eyes dimmed, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.
He didn't want to see her get hurt because of him.
"You go."
When Gu Qingyuan turned her head, she met Ye Wu's worried gaze. She smiled and then fought with them with her other hand.
She held Ye Wu in one hand and held a sword in the other, repelling anyone who approached her.
The sound of swords clashing rang out, and the Ye family's yard was suddenly in a mess.
There was blood on Gu Qingyuan's face, but it wasn't hers.
The blood added a ghostly look to her face. She had encountered more enemies than this on the battlefield before. One hand was enough to deal with these ants.
Ye Li wanted to attack Gu Qingyuan from behind, but it was as if the back of her head had eyes and she dodged her attack.
During the fight, Gu Qingyuan's long hair was spread out, making her face look a little softer, but her movements were not polite at all.
Gu Qingyuan did not want to kill them. The defeated Wang family members lay on the ground unable to move, and the others saw their companions like this and began to retreat.
"enough!"
Ye's mother said coldly, asking them to stop.
