Chapter 416 Li Yuanxing
At this time, although Gu Nanqing (the head of the family) was in a good mood and lifted the house arrest, he directly sent Gu Zheng into the family business and took over the family affairs. He was very busy.
On the day of the banquet, the Gu residence was decorated with lanterns and firecrackers were set off. Red confetti flew all over the sky, like a festive red rain.
Gu Weizhi stood in the hall in gorgeous clothes to welcome the guests, looking very proud. The head of the Gu family and Gu Zheng (Qin Ci'an) were also greeting them.
Originally, Qin Ci'an came here just to return to the Gu Mansion and take the opportunity to meet Chu Ziyu. He wanted to know whether Xiaoyu still remembered him, but he couldn't get away.
Gu Ci'an had already left the banquet by now, and went into the water at the pool. He carried Chu Ziyu to the bed in the house and wiped off the water marks on his body.
"What are you doing?" Chu Ziyu's voice was tinged with doubt.
"My fish tail is very dry and uncomfortable." Chu Ziyu murmured.
"Bear it..."
Gu Ci'an remembered that the head of the Zen temple, the son of King Nanhuai, went out for a trip and met Gu Weizhi at Wenmo Tower, and they became close friends. This time he would come here specifically.
He still remembered the love-hate entanglement between them. When the Gu family was wiped out in the previous life, Gu Weizhi had already been taken away by the Zen monk. He ran away and he was chased, but he couldn't escape even if he had wings.
However, what made Gu Ci'an even more worried was that the second prince of the current emperor, Li Yuanxing, also came with the Zen monk.
The second prince was born to Concubine Gao, and his status was extremely noble. However, he was extremely cruel and tyrannical, and he had a special liking for mermaids, and he took pleasure in torturing mermaids. The mermaids sent to his palace often found it difficult to escape a tragic fate, and only a few could come out alive.
In fact, Gu Ci'an arrived at the banquet early. In a corner of the banquet, he had something to verify: in his previous life, he didn't know whether the second prince knew that there was such a mermaid in the Gu Mansion. At that time, Xiaoyu met it in the clan's pond. He didn't know whether this incident was deliberately arranged by someone or it was an accidental act. There were doubts about this matter in his previous life.
Soon Gu Ci'an saw the abbot who had arrived, and the second prince who was dressed as a guard beside them. The abbot was chatting with Gu Weizhi, while Li Yuanxing was looking around, not looking like a guard at all.
Gu Ci'an's eyes were fixed on Li Yuanxing, and he saw his gaze wandering around the mansion, and finally fell on the direction of the pond in his yard. Gu Ci'an's heart sank, it seemed that the events of the previous life were not accidental.
Someone tipped off.
"who is it?"
Gu Ci'an felt his heart was heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on him and he couldn't breathe.
Back to the present, the crystal clear water droplets on the silver-blue fish tail have been wiped clean, as if they had never existed.
However, Gu Ci'an's handsome face was filled with solemnity, just like a sky covered with dark clouds, making people feel a heavy sense of depression.
His long and powerful hands were clenched tightly together, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.
But soon, as if he suddenly realized something, he slowly loosened his hands.
Then, he took a deep breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and took out a small and exquisite bottle from his arms.
"Don't blame me, Xiaoyu."
