Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)
The other party didn't speak but just stepped aside, and then a slender figure of a young man walked in casually.
"It's me." The young man said.
Gu Jinyu was surprised again, "Yan'er? Why are you bringing people into my room at this late hour?"
Gu Yan's body was much better than before. Not only did he live past fifteen, but he was also lively and almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the chest and jewelry boxes in the room, saying, "We're siblings, and I'm here to help you one last time, lest you say that I favor JiaoJiao and neglect you."
Gu Jinyu looked at him in bewilderment.
Gu Yan motioned to Dark Guard A behind him and Dark Guard B standing at the door with a curl of his finger, saying, "Come, take my second sister out of the city overnight. Use the token of Renshou Palace given to me by the Empress Dowager."
Gu Jinyu was so shocked by the first sentence that she forgot to be astonished about the fact that he actually had the token of Renshou Palace.
"You..."
"What? Can't speak because you're so happy? Don't be like this. I used to bully you all the time, and that was wrong of me. I'm here today to make it up to you. Here's some money for your journey, it should be enough to support you to the border."
As he spoke, he took out a fifty taels silver banknote from his pocket and handed it to Dark Guard A.
Dark Guard A cleverly stuffed the silver banknote into Gu Jinyu's jewelry box.
Fifty taels of silver... Gu Jinyu would spend more than this price on a piece of fabric in the capital.
Gu Jinyu opened her mouth, looking at Gu Yan with a panicked look, "Yan'er, you..."
Gu Yan told the dark guards impatiently, "Hurry up! The medicine won't last long. They'll wake up soon. If Father finds out, my second sister won't be able to leave!"
"Yes!"
Dark Guard A came to Gu Jinyu's side, "Second young miss, please pardon me!"
Gu Jinyu's face turned pale, "What are you doing?"
Dark Guard A lifted Gu Jinyu onto his shoulder.
Dark Guard B, on the other hand, picked up the chest and jewelry boxes and followed quickly.
Gu Jinyu was in chaos, "Yan'er! Yan'er!"
Gu Yan comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, my dark guards are skilled. They won't be discovered by the guards at home. You can leave the city with peace of mind and elope with my second brother-in-law!"
"Yan'er!"
"Don't shout, you'll attract Father. Or do you want Father to come and stop you? Then it seems you don't really care for my second brother-in-law."
Gu Jinyu choked up, "If Father finds out... He'll punish you... I'll be fine if I leave... But what about you? I don't want to drag you down... Put me down... I'll figure it out myself..."
"The last person Father would punish in the whole house is me. Even if he hits Gu Xiaobao, he won't hit me." Gu Yan said with a raised eyebrow, "I'm sick after all."
Gu Jinyu: "..."
"Who’s there!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the nearby path.
Gu Jinyu's heart jumped with joy, and she shouted loudly, "Yan'er! Go quickly! Second brother is here!"
This voice almost reached the Old Madame’s courtyard.
Gu Chengfeng walked quickly, accompanied by Gu Chenglin.
The two brothers looked at the swaggering Gu Yan and then at Gu Jinyu being carried on Dark Guard A's shoulder, both equally surprised.
Gu Chengfeng asked, "What are you doing?"
Before Gu Yan could answer, Gu Jinyu sobbed, "Second brother, please persuade Yan'er. He wants to help me escape from the estate, but I don't want to implicate him."
"Escape from the estate? What's going on here?" Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Yan in confusion.
Gu Yan let out a sigh, "Isn't my second sister's husband volunteering to go to the border? My second sister has a deep bond with her husband and doesn't want to abandon him in his adversity. So she decided to elope with him and continue their engagement on the border."
Even in ordinary families, one couldn't do something as audacious as eloping, let alone their family. It would greatly disgrace the family’s reputation and might adversely affect the marriages of other children.
Gu Chengfeng frowned and thought for a moment, "Gu Yan, what you're doing is indeed inappropriate."
Gu Jinyu's heart leaped with joy.
Her second brother was going to stop them.
"Alright, put her down." Gu Chengfeng said to Dark Guard A.
Dark Guard A looked at his young master.
His young master nodded, and so Dark Guard A set Gu Jinyu down.
Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Jinyu with a complicated expression, "As siblings, I'll instead help you with this little favor. I'll take you out of the city."
Gu Jinyu: "!!!"
Gu Chenglin said, "Second brother, I want to go out of the city too."
Gu Chengfeng snapped, "What are you going for? Has your hair grown long enough?"
Gu Chenglin touched his head, feeling the hair on half of his head bitterly.
Gu Jinyu felt like there was a lump in her throat, "Second brother, I..."
Gu Chengfeng waved his hand, "Enough, don't say anything else. Let’s hurry and leave."
Gu Jinyu's eyes flickered, "Second brother... I... I'll implicate you... I can't be this selfish... I'll go on my own... I can figure something out..."
Gu Chengfeng looked at her sideways, "It's rare for you to still think of us at this time. It seems I misunderstood you before. You're not unkind after all. Don't worry, my qinggong skills are better than Gu Yan's dark guards. No one will notice that I took you away."
These words from Gu Chengfeng were sincere.
Gu Chengfeng grabbed Gu Jinyu's wrist.
"It's not that... Second brother..." Gu Jinyu was about to cry for real this time.
"Second brother... Second brother! Ah… Eldest brother!"
Just then, she saw Gu Changqing riding back to the estate.
"Why is eldest brother here?" Gu Chengfeng frowned.
Gu Changqing rode up to them and looked down at them, his gaze falling on Gu Jinyu who was sobbing non-stop, "What's going on?"
Gu Yan repeated what he had just said to Gu Chengfeng to Gu Changqing.
Gu Jinyu choked with sobs and begged, "Eldest brother, second brother and Yan'er didn't mean it. I won't go! I'll behave! Please don't be angry with them! Don't tell Grandfather and Father! I'm afraid they'll punish second brother!"
No one was willing to punish Gu Yan, but Gu Chengfeng still often got punished.
"Second brother, please let me go!" Gu Jinyu said with red eyes, "Don't act foolish for my sake! Let's pretend today never happened! You guys go back with eldest brother! I... I can't, for my own selfishness, bring trouble to my brothers! Even though Jinyu is not related by blood to all of you, I understand the principle of gratitude for raising. Brothers have never mistreated Jinyu since childhood, and Jinyu has no way to repay them, only hoping not to cause trouble for you all!"
Gu Changqing frowned as he looked at Gu Jinyu's swollen eyes, "Do you really want to follow Zhuang Yuheng to the border?"
Gu Jinyu was stunned again, a sense of foreboding surging in her heart.
"Be together until old age, never parting?" Gu Changqing seemed to think of something and, for once, didn't show his usual coldness. He sighed and said, "Forget it, Zhuang Yuheng is virtuous and loyal, a man worthy of entrusting your life to. If you insist on marrying him, then marry him. I'll handle it on this side and won't let you be in trouble."
Gu Jinyu felt like she was being choked to death by her brothers. She said, "He... He's leaving... tomorrow morning..."
Gu Changqing frowned even tighter, "Can't the date be changed?"
"It... it can't be changed! It's already decided!"
"Such a hasty marriage won't do." Gu Changqing fell silent and then said after a while, "Then you go to the border first. Since his family is also there, it's more appropriate to hold your wedding there."
Gu Jinyu felt like she had been struck by lightning!
Gu Changqing said to Gu Chengfeng, "Alright, you take Jinyu out of the city first."
Gu Jinyu panicked, her face turning pale, "Eldest brother! Eldest brother! I... I'm not going... I'm not marrying!"
"Father won't blame you, I'll persuade our father." Gu Changqing said.
Gu Chengfeng was about to use his qinggong to take Gu Jinyu away.
Gu Jinyu cried out in fear, "I don't want to get married! I don't want to marry him! I don't want to suffer at the border! I don't want to be a commoner!"
Gu Changqing frowned, "But didn't you say you were willing to marry him——"
Gu Jinyu sobbed loudly, "That was a lie! I said it on purpose! I deliberately packed up to alarm Father! I knew Father would stop me! I... Father? An Junwang?"
In the middle of her outburst, she suddenly saw Marquis Gu and An Junwang nearby, appearing without her noticing.Raz P.'s Thoughts

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
