Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 136 You Want to Get Married

When leaving the palace, Gu Qingyuan met Lin Weiwei again. She was holding a sword in her hand. After seeing her, she took her aside to talk while no one was around.

"His Majesty didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Facing her concerned eyes, Gu Qingyuan shook his head gently, "No, His Majesty summoned me to the palace just to ask me some questions."

Gu Qingyuan was actually a little confused.

Although her mother has a good relationship with Lin Weiwei, she doesn't have much interaction with her. Why is she so concerned about her today?

As if sensing her confusion, Lin Weiwei explained, "Today, your mother sent me a message via carrier pigeon. She told me to keep an eye on you in the palace."

So that's how it is. Gu Qingyuan said gratefully, "Thank you Aunt Lin for your concern."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me?"

Lin Weiwei patted Gu Qingyuan on the shoulder. Gu Qingyuan only felt a pain where she patted her, but she still had a polite smile on her face.

"By the way, Qingyuan, do you have any plans to get married soon? My son is now of marriageable age... Anyway, my brother has already married into your family. If you marry my son, wouldn't our two families be even closer?"

Lin Weiwei's son Lin Xinghe is eighteen years old this year, and Lin Weiwei intends to find a suitable marriage for him.

Gu Qingyuan choked on his own saliva and smiled awkwardly. Lin Weiwei's son?

Her impression of Lin Xinghe still remains from his childhood. Once, Lin Weiwei brought him to the general's residence. When he saw her, he was so scared that he burst into tears and no matter how he tried to comfort him, he would not cry.

Let’s just forget about that little crybaby.

"Thank you, Auntie Lin. However, I already have a husband and two concubines at home, so I don't plan to add anyone to the family for the time being."

"Okay then." Lin Weiwei was a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to meet Gu Qingyuan today to discuss this matter with her.

Ever since his son heard about Gu Qingyuan's "reputation", he seemed to be aroused and wanted him to discuss with General Gu and marry Gu Qingyuan.

Lin Xinghe heard about what happened to Gu Qingyuan in the academy, the library, and on the battlefield.

The girl who used dog poop to tease him when he was a child turned out to be different from what he imagined when she grew up.

In the past, he only knew that Gu Qingyuan would rob men on the street and had a terrible reputation. Later, he rarely heard the servants in the house talk about these things.

When talking about Gu Qingyuan, there are more praises.

"I have to go back."

Gu Qingyuan bids farewell to Lin Weiwei.

"Okay, I won't see you off. I still have to continue my patrol."

After saying that, Gu Qingyuan walked towards the outside of the palace.

The weather was hot and there were not many people on the street. Gu Qingyuan walked hurriedly, planning to go home early.

But suddenly, she saw a somewhat familiar figure, but his back looked a little lonely.

He was carrying a bundle on his back, alone, and his face was pale.

"Ye Li?"

Gu Qingyuan still had some impression of her former deskmate.

"Ye Li" heard her voice and subconsciously turned around, and saw Gu Qingyuan who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.

He stopped until Gu Qingyuan came over and caught up with him.

When he reached his side, "Ye Li" said calmly, "Don't call me like that in the future."

"Why?" Gu Qingyuan was a little puzzled.

"I'm not Ye Li," he emphasized, "This is my second sister's name."

"Oh, what should I call you then?"

"Ye Wu."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and called him, "Ye Wu, why are you carrying your things and looking like you're leaving?"

The academy is about to start school, where is he going?

"go home."

His voice still carried a hint of resigned sadness.

"I'm not like you, I don't have a good family, and if I were a girl, how great it would be..."

His family arranged a marriage for him, a wealthy businessman who had one foot in poverty, and said that the real Ye Li would come to the academy in the future.

It was clearly agreed that he would be given freedom as long as he could get a good ranking for his second sister.

However, for the five hundred taels of silver, he was sold by his mother.

"In the end what happened?"

Gu Qingyuan listened to his voice and felt that this was not like his usual style.

The weather was hot, so Gu Qingyuan took him to a teahouse to sit down and rest, and ordered two cups of sweet water to relieve the heat.

Gu Qingyuan pushed one of the cups of sugar water in front of him. He picked it up and took a few sips.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Gu Qingyuan asked sincerely.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just ask. I can do it."

Ye Wu's fingers turned white and his lips trembled. He finally managed to calm himself down.

"...Can you really help me?"

He usually doesn't even have any friends because he is afraid that others will discover his identity as a man. Only Gu Qingyuan is willing to approach him and care about him.

"Of course, tell me what it is first."

"I may not be able to go to the academy in the future."

Gu Qingyuan was a little shocked. "Why? Did your family not allow you to go?"

"Ah."

Ye Wu lowered his head and said sadly.

"Thank you for helping me hide my male identity."

He was now wearing men's clothes. It was the first time that Gu Qingyuan saw him dressed like this. He had a scholarly air about him, and his clear eyes were dead silent.

"It's okay. Can you tell me why your family doesn't allow you to go to the academy?"

Gu Qingyuan really felt sorry for him. As a man, his knowledge was not inferior to that of women. He could be said to be the best in the inner dormitory.

But now, due to family reasons, I can no longer continue my studies.

"They found a marriage for me."

Ye Wu looked down at the tip of his shoes and spoke as if he had mustered up great courage.

"You're getting married?"

Gu Qingyuan really felt sorry for him.

"I was originally going to the academy in my sister's place. I should have known about this arrangement."

Ye Wu's voice seemed to be blown away by the wind.

Gu Qingyuan didn't know how to comfort him. After all, this was someone else's family matter, and as an outsider, it was not easy for her to interfere.

"So you came here just to pack up and go back?"

Living in the academy, he was afraid that others would find out that he was not a woman, so he found a house outside and paid rent every month. This time he came here just to take all his things back.

"Ah."

Although his face was calm, the word "hmm" was filled with a myriad of emotions.

After sitting for a while, Gu Qingyuan had finished the bowl of sugar water in front of him, while Ye Wu only took two sips of it when he just came over.

"I have to go now."

Ye Wu picked up his package and stood up.

He had to obey his family's arrangements, and the past few years in the capital were like a dream to him.

Now that he's awake from his dream, it's time for him to return to reality.

However, besides feeling unwilling, I also felt a little reluctant after seeing her.
