Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 553: Master Gu II is a gay man?!

Shen Wantang smiled at him and said, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? You should avenge yourself. I feel relaxed now and can sleep well tonight."

Otherwise, even in her dreams, she would see Xiao Yuerong killing her.

Gu Qianhan looked at her smiling face and sincerely admired her ability to take action.

No wonder Liao Youhe was able to rise to the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple at such a fast speed in his previous life. With a decisive and wise aide like Shen Wantang, it would not be surprising even if Liao Youhe became a cabinet minister.

It’s a pity that women cannot become officials, otherwise their future would be limitless.

He raised his hand and wiped the rain off her face: "I'll take you back."

Shen Wantang nodded and agreed.

The two avoided the guards all the way and came to the back door of the princess's mansion. Then, Gu Qianhan put his arm around Shen Wantang's waist and easily helped her climb over the high wall.

In her previous life, Shen Wantang had actually witnessed Gu Qianhan's lightness skills. He had once taken her flying up and down like he was doing now. Experiencing it again, she still found it very handsome.

After climbing over the wall, Gu Qianhan carried her onto the horse again. The two of them rode together and headed slowly towards the Shen Mansion.

In the vast dark night, the rain was thick and the sound of dripping water was everywhere.

Gu Qianhan held Shen Wantang in his arms and used his cloak to shield her from the rain. The faint fragrance from her body lingered in his nose, making him unable to help but hold her tighter.

For a moment, he even hoped that he could continue walking with her like this forever. At this moment, it seemed so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

When we were halfway there, we suddenly met a few young men who had just come out of Wanhua Tower.

Several people were all drunk, their umbrellas were held crookedly and their lanterns were shaky.

One of them saw the two people on the horse and suddenly shouted: "Hey, isn't this our Dafeng's number one genius prodigy Gu Qianhan? Brother Gu, where are you going so late? Who are you holding?"

The moment Gu Qianhan saw them, he pressed Shen Wantang's face into his arms. It didn't matter if he was seen by others, but Shen Wantang couldn't.

When he heard the man talking to him, he ignored him and squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, urging the horse to move faster.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? The second young master Gu is holding a man in his arms!"

"There have been rumors that he is a homosexual. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it! He really is a homosexual! He is a homosexual!"

"Hey? Isn't the direction he came from the Wanye Tower? Could he have brought a prostitute from the Wanye Tower home with him?"

"Tsk tsk, people in the capital said he was a clean man and never tempted by beauty, but it turns out he's even more extravagant than us!"

"Brothers, what do you say? We are tired of playing with the girls in Wanhua Tower. How about we stay in Wanye Tower tonight? Let's go and have a taste of the young prostitutes!"

"Oh, I heard that the prostitutes in Wanye Tower are more expensive than those in Wanhua Tower. I have spent all my money in Wanhua Tower. Who will treat me?"

"What are you afraid of? I'll treat you! I have to go and see what kind of magic those young men have that they can even seduce Mr. Gu's soul!"

……

Shen Wantang leaned on Gu Qianhan's chest, listening to the discussion coming from not far behind, and couldn't help laughing: "Second Master Gu, they say you are a homosexual, is this true?"

Gu Qianhan looked at her, she was dressed in men's clothes and had her hair in a man's bun, and she looked like a teenager.

He lowered his head and kissed her smooth and full forehead, and said softly: "Whether I am gay or not, you can verify it yourself."

"However, you wearing men's clothes reminds me of the time when you worked as an aide to Liao Youhe. It's as if we have returned to the past. That time is very precious to me."

Shen Wantang was slightly stunned. Could it be that he had already cared about her at that time?

She always thought that he was too proud to pay attention to a mere aide.

Shen Wantang stretched out her hand and caught the cold rain. When he saw her men's clothing, he was reminded of her previous life, but when she saw the rain, she would only be reminded of her previous life, because it was raining heavily like this on the day he died.

Gu Qianhan's attention was entirely on her, and he noticed the slightest change in her mood.

"What's wrong? You were quite happy just now, why are you unhappy now?"

Shen Wantang was originally just grabbing onto his clothes to prevent herself from falling, but as she listened to his voice and felt his heartbeat, she felt that she didn't need to follow any rules anymore.

She hugged Gu Qianhan's waist directly: "I'm not unhappy, I just hope you can live longer in this life."

Gu Qianhan knew why she suddenly became depressed, and also knew why she, who had always been introverted, took the initiative to hug him for the first time.

She was afraid he would die again.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, resting his chin on her forehead: "So is living to ninety-nine long enough this time?"

Shen Wantang smiled: "You are greedy. I have never seen anyone in Dafeng live so long."

"Then I will be the first one in Dafeng to live to be ninety-nine. Do you want to join me?"

"Can I live that long?"

"can."

"Then let's try to live a little longer. I hope that by then, all my teeth won't have fallen out."

Gu Qianhan lifted her chin: "Let me see if it has fallen off now?"

Shen Wantang was both angry and amused: "If I fall now, won't that be the end?"

Gu Qianhan took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips: "Well, not a single one fell off, each one is very beautiful."

Shen Wantang's cheeks suddenly turned red. It turned out that he was waiting for her here!

She turned her face away and refused to look at him again.

The rain was getting heavier. Gu Qianhan was afraid that she would get sick from the rain, so he took off another coat and covered her with it: "Hold on tight, let's go back quickly."

As he spoke, he spurred his horse into a gallop.

In the time it took to burn an incense stick, he sent Shen Wantang back to the Shen family.

When Du Juan saw Shen Wantang returned safely, she exclaimed "Amitabha". For the first time, she felt that Gu Qianhan might be a reliable person.

Gu Qianhan did not stay with Shen Wantang for long. After sending her back, he left.

Du Juan helped Shen Wantang change her wet clothes. She held two pieces of Gu Qianhan's clothes and looked worried: "Miss, what should we do with this cloak and coat? It's not appropriate to leave them in our room!"

I don’t even dare hang them out to dry after washing, otherwise if someone sees them, everything will be ruined.

Shen Wantang looked at the luxurious material and said bluntly, "Keep it, tear it all apart, and alter it to a size I can wear later. This way, next time I need to wear men's clothes to go out, I won't have to steal from big brother. Oh, and also make the cape smaller. It's quite waterproof!"

"Should we send this piece of clothing back to him?"

"What are you giving me? He doesn't need this piece of clothing. Leave it to me, what if I want to wear it again later?"

Du Juan listened to her relaxed tone and couldn't help but feel relaxed as well. She admired the young lady so much. No matter how big the problem was, it could become a small matter in her hands, and small matters would eventually disappear.

She always felt that the young lady seemed a little different, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
