Chapter 71: Yao Yao, Do You Like the Regent?

Chi Yunzhou was dressed in military uniform, his silver armor gleaming in the candlelight, his hair tied up high.

He had a wheat-colored complexion, handsome features, and his eyes held a deep affection that Tang Chuyao couldn’t understand. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn’t slept well for days.

It was great. Her family was still alive, they hadn’t been killed by Gu Huaifeng and Tang Chuying!

There was still time!

Her eyes sparkled with light, and she couldn’t tell Chi Yunzhou all the grievances she had…

Chi Yunzhou looked at Tang Chuyao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Yao Yao, do you like the Regent?”

Tang Chuyao’s eyes dimmed. She was already feeling a little upset because Gu Qingchen was with Wan Yan Liyue, and now she was asked this question. The excitement she felt at seeing her relatives was instantly diluted.

Chi Yunzhou misunderstood Tang Chuyao’s meaning. He slammed his hand on the table, “Yao Yao, don’t be afraid. Although you were granted marriage by the emperor, as long as you don’t want to, your brother will do everything he can, even if it means sacrificing his life, to break off your engagement!”

Tang Chuyao’s tears could no longer be held back and instantly flowed down. This was family! Family who unconditionally supports you!

Seeing Tang Chuyao crying, Chi Yunzhou became even more anxious. His heart was filled with heartache. He quickly stood up and took out a handkerchief to hand to Tang Chuyao.

Tang Chuyao took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears. She sniffed and her mood gradually calmed down.

“Big Brother, has Grandfather arrived?”

“Your Grandfather and Uncle have arrived! They are still on the road. I came ahead of them!”

Thinking that she would soon see her grandfather and uncle, Tang Chuyao was overjoyed.

Chi Yunzhou looked at Tang Chuyao, seeming to want to say something but hesitated. After weighing his options, he finally said, “Yao Yao, I came here to ask you, do you want to go back to the Northern Frontier with us?”

Tang Chuyao thought that she hadn’t finished her revenge yet. Tang Chuying was imprisoned in Dali Temple, but Gu Huaifeng was still at large!

She wouldn’t let either of them go!

So she shook her head, “Big Brother, I can’t go to the Northern Frontier for now.”

“Why?” Chi Yunzhou was puzzled, “Is there someone here that Yao Yao can’t leave behind?”

Tang Chuyao didn’t know how to explain it to Chi Yunzhou. She couldn’t tell him that she was reborn and that she wanted revenge, could she?

Chi Yunzhou was a little anxious, “Do you like Gu Huaifeng?”

What?

Tang Chuyao was stunned. She didn’t expect her cousin to know Gu Huaifeng!

But it wasn’t hard to guess. Her cousin must have heard the rumors about her in the capital!

No, she had to explain clearly. She couldn’t let her grandfather’s family misunderstand her!

Just as Tang Chuyao was about to speak, the steward suddenly came in and reported, “Eldest Master, the Regent has arrived!”

Chi Yunzhou looked at Tang Chuyao and noticed that her eyes were downcast and her mood was low.

He felt that Tang Chuyao’s attitude towards Gu Qingchen was very subtle.

Every time he mentioned Gu Qingchen, Tang Chuyao had a heartbroken expression. If she didn’t have feelings for him, she wouldn’t have this expression!

Could it be that Yao Yao likes Gu Qingchen?

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had rushed all the way from the Northern Frontier, day and night, without stopping, just to see Tang Chuyao as soon as possible!

But the lively little girl had grown up and had her own heart, and maybe she had someone she liked…

Could his feelings, which he had so openly declared, be so easily extinguished?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy. At this time, Gu Qingchen strode in. He had been staring at Tang Chuyao since he entered, and he felt relieved when he saw that she was unharmed.

Heaven knew he had been searching frantically all this time. He happened to see Night Wind at the entrance of the General’s Mansion and learned that his little girl had run into the General’s Mansion!

The tenderness in his heart spread throughout his body. She was unhappy, and she didn’t even have a place to vent. He was simply too cruel to let the little one hide and grieve alone.

This General’s Mansion was also without its master. How lonely and heartbroken the little one must have been!

Gu Qingchen became more and more anxious. He asked the steward to announce his arrival and then rushed in. Upon entering, he saw this scene.

The little one was unharmed, but there was a man beside her. The man was handsome and elegant, wearing armor. Gu Qingchen took a closer look and seemed to have seen this man’s portrait. It should be Chi Yunzhou, the eldest grandson of Chi Yuan Dao, Tang Chuyao’s cousin.

However, Chi Yunzhou’s eyes were filled with hostility towards him, but Gu Qingchen didn’t mind.

Chi Yunzhou said coldly, “The Regent is truly domineering! You barge into my General’s Mansion without permission?”

Gu Qingchen didn’t want to waste words with Chi Yunzhou. He felt that this Chi Yunzhou was hostile towards him.

“This King was just worried about Yao’er. Please don’t blame me, Eldest Master!”

Chi Yunzhou looked at Gu Qingchen. This man was indeed as handsome as a celestial being, as rumored. He was wearing a moon-white robe, but his hair was messy, as if he had just bathed and hadn’t had time to comb it before rushing out. His shoes were also mismatched.

Tang Chuyao didn’t want to pay attention to Gu Qingchen, but when she saw him appear, she felt happy in her heart.

Looking at Gu Qingchen’s appearance, she couldn’t help but want to laugh. This was the first time she had seen the high and mighty Regent looking so disheveled.

Chi Yunzhou suddenly felt that he was a bit superfluous, “Eldest Master, may I have a word with my wife alone?”

“Who is your wife?” Tang Chuyao glared at him, her face flushed red with embarrassment. Thankfully, she was wearing a veil.

Chi Yunzhou wished he could rush over and slap Gu Qingchen.

“A betrothed couple is also a couple! We were granted marriage by the emperor!” Seeing this shameless act, Chi Yunzhou was speechless!

Who said the Regent was cold and aloof, decisive and ruthless?

Chi Yunzhou looked at Tang Chuyao. She didn’t speak, but sat there, not wanting to look at Gu Qingchen. This clearly showed that the young couple was having a disagreement.

Although he didn’t know why the two of them were unhappy, he was definitely the superfluous one!

He left reluctantly. As he reached the door, he deliberately kicked the door frame.

He didn’t expect to kick iron, and he limped back to his room…

Gu Qingchen pointed at Chi Yunzhou’s departing back, then pointed at his head and said to Tang Chuyao, “Your cousin, this part of his brain isn’t working properly.”

Tang Chuyao glared at him angrily. Gu Qingchen slowly moved to Tang Chuyao’s side and then squatted down in front of her, like a large dog.

If someone were to enter at this moment, they would be shocked. The dignified Regent was actually squatting in front of a woman, while the woman sat in her seat. Gu Qingchen didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

Gu Qingchen rested his chin on Tang Chuyao’s leg, looked up at her, and said, “I’ve been accompanying Wan Yan Liyue these past two days.”

“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would be angry!”

Tang Chuyao was still a little happy. Gu Qingchen actually took the initiative to explain to her.

“Then why are you telling me now?” Tang Chuyao asked.

“I was wrong! Yao’er.”

“I will tell you everything I do in advance from now on, okay?”
