C7 (1/2)

She looked on in a daze, not knowing that Lady Wang had also lost her composure from the shock. She opened her mouth wide and said, ”You … You are... ”Third Master Gu?”

Yang Shao was about to cry from his wife's idiocy, so he reprimanded her in a low voice, ”Impudence!” He turned to Gu Yiqing and smiled awkwardly, ”Master San …” This is clumsy. ”

Gu Yiqing nodded slightly and said, ”Greetings, Madam Sister-in-law.”

The voice was like the splashing of jade in a spring, unspeakably warm and pleasant to the ears.

Gu Jinzhu was dazed for a moment. This kind of outstanding man was very rare. Even if her fiancé, Chen Yunze, could be considered handsome, he was like the clouds in the sky and the mud beneath his feet.

Before she could react, Yang Shao had already pushed her in front of the esteemed guest, urging her, ”Zhu'er, quickly greet the Third Master …”

Gu Jinzhu raised her head and bumped into the pair of eyes that were pitch-black and deep like black jade.

His eyes were as bright and cold as stars, and the corners of his eyes had the curve of a phoenix's tail. He gave her a cold look, and she immediately sobered up as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her.

She obediently blessed herself and softly said, ”I have … ”Lord Third.”

That's what Uncle calls it, that's what she calls it, isn't it?

Although he came from the Gu family, she didn't have the slightest impression of him, so she didn't know what to call him.

That person's eyes were cold and clear, carrying with it a sharp, icy glow. Like Gu Ze's snow under the bright sun, he looked warm without a trace of warmth. He also carried with him a silent sense of oppression.

He looked at her and said, ”Are you Pearl?”

Gu Jinzhu was stunned. This person looked young, but why did he sound like an elder?

That person smiled, and a layer of warmth appeared in his eyes. He said lightly, ”I am Gu Yiqing. Speaking of which, you have to call me Third Uncle.”

Three... Uncle?

Gu Jinzhu was stunned.

He saw her surprise and didn't explain further. He only said indifferently, ”I wasn't at the Gu family when you left that year, so you probably don't remember.”

Before Gu Jinzhu could speak, she heard Yang Shao laugh and say, ”Zhu'er, quickly sit down. Master Gu San came all the way from Shengjing to pick you up. You can see how much the Duke and his wife wish for you to return as soon as possible! However, I heard that the Cloud Prefecture has been busy repairing the road, and the road is not easy to walk on. This time, Master Gu has come to spend some time with me, so that I can do my best as a host. ”

These last words were said to the Third Master of the Gu Clan with a face full of enthusiasm, anxious to keep this esteemed guest here.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yiqing shook her head and sighed, ”I can only accept Duke Yang's good intentions. I came here to do it for the Duke, and was entrusted by my elder brother and elder sister-in-law to escort Zhu'er back. I'm afraid that I'll have to take my leave tomorrow morning.”

Tomorrow morning? Yang Shao and née Wang were shocked, while Gu Jinzhu's heart skipped a beat.

”This... Isn't this too hasty? ”Why are you in such a hurry? If it's not for Master San delaying us for another two days, don't worry, Zhu'er will have to take care of this …” Yang Shao rubbed his hands together with a troubled expression on his face. Wasn't this leaving too fast?

”The prince's order can't be delayed …” Gu Yiqing smiled and looked at Jin Zhu.
