Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

"Hush! Keep your voice down." Cheng Yan looked in the direction of the main hall, and made a silent gesture to Xu Dong, "Don't go in, so as not to disturb them."

Xu Dong didn't understand, so he said, "Who are you bothering? Young Master? But I have to return to my life, why don't you let me in?"

Cheng Yan stretched out his hand and tapped Xu Dong's head lightly: "What do you think? Yun Ji asked you to see if Mr. Xu has come back, so you can just watch. Are you really planning to return?"

Xu Dong asked back: "Otherwise?"

Seeing Xu Dong's sincere face, Cheng Yan sighed helplessly, and cursed with a smile: "Yumu head. Do you think your young master really asked you to see if Mr. Xu came back? It's just an excuse to send you out, since you've come out, stay outside, and don't go in unless he calls you."

"Really? Why don't I think the young master has this kind of meaning?" Xudong was dubious, "Even if what you said is true, why did the young master pay me? Besides the young master, there is only Miss Xu in the main hall. The two of them Isn't it embarrassing to sit together alone and not familiar with each other?"

"..."

Cheng Yan was speechless for a moment, unable to think of how to reply him.Is it possible to say that the two of them are currently trying to sweeten their sweethearts, and he would embarrass them if he went in?Xudong didn't know the past between Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua, so it's hard to explain it right now.

Cheng Yan mumbled silently for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable answer, so he simply fooled: "Anyway, don't go in now, just listen to me."

Xudong felt strange, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he agreed.

Hearing the noise from outside, Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua, who were talking inside the room, instantly tensed up. They subconsciously took two steps back to distance themselves from each other, and listened for a few breaths. After confirming that no one came in, they relaxed again.

After being interrupted like this, the anger in Xu Shuhua's heart dissipated completely, replaced by a deep apology and guilt, she looked at the scar on Gu Yunji's wrist from being strangled by the rope with distress, and asked cautiously: "Does it still hurt? "

Seeing Xu Shuhua's worried and nervous look, Gu Yunji's heart softened, and he put down his rolled-up sleeves to cover the scar, and said in a muffled voice: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's nothing serious."

Seeing Gu Yunji's action of covering up his scars, Xu Shuhua thought he was still angry that he had misunderstood him, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he bit his lip and fell silent.

Gu Yunji's face was sullen, but he was also speechless.

After a long time, he heard Xu Shuhua's soft voice: "...I blamed you, I'm sorry."

Xu Shuhua took a light breath, his voice became more and more gentle, and the warmth like water flowed gently into Gu Yunji's heart, soothing his depression little by little: "I shouldn't disbelieve you, I shouldn't have misunderstood you, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you indiscriminately, I shouldn't have deliberately said that to make you angry, and caused you to suffer such grievances."

Xu Shuhua softened his voice, and his tone actually contained a hint of pleading: "It's all my fault, forgive me, okay?"

Gu Yunji's heart trembled, sourness rushed up his throat, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Do not……"

"No?" Xu Shuhua choked for breath, his eyes were gray.

"No...don't say that." Gu Yunji hoarse, trying to calm his trembling breath, "... I also have something wrong, you are actually more embarrassing than any of us about Qian Xun, I I'm so sorry for focusing on myself and sulking, ignoring your feelings."

"And yesterday... You don't know the truth, so it's easy to think too much. If I had explained to you earlier, you wouldn't have misunderstood me."

There was mist in Xu Shuhua's eyes, he suppressed the astringency in his eyes, and coaxed a child to say: "I apologize to you, and you apologize to me, then let's forgive each other like this, don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Yunji couldn't change his mood for a while. Hearing Xu Shuhua's doting tone at this time, he belatedly realized that he had lost his composure. Immediately, he felt even more uncomfortable. He turned his head away as if to cover up, and responded muffledly: "good."

Seeing Gu Yunji's grievance after being angry, Xu Shuhua felt a little bit funny while feeling sad.Suddenly her heart moved, she thought of something, so she smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Young Master Gu on getting married in high school."

Gu Yunji's heart thumped, and the astringency that had just been suppressed surged up uncontrollably. With his heart trembling, the last tangle in his chest was finally completely healed.

First, he ran into Qian's family asking for marriage, then watched Qian Song confess his love to Xu Shuhua in court, and finally had a chance to speak alone, and quarreled when he opened his mouth.Gu Yunji's mental journey in the past half day has been ups and downs, and his emotions have been disturbed and messed up. Only then did he recall his original purpose - he came to share the joy of Zhongdi with Xu Shuhua.

Going around in a big circle, after a whole day's delay, Gu Yunji finally heard the words he wanted to hear most from Xu Shuhua's mouth. For a moment, he couldn't restrain himself, and his whole body trembled slightly.

This is not just a congratulation, but also represents the tacit agreement between the two of them - when I win the gold list, I will marry you.

It took more than two years, from Huating county all the way to the capital, Gu Yunji has completed the 99 steps of the imperial examination road, only the last step - the palace examination, he will be awarded the official title and fulfill his promise.

There is no elimination in the palace examination, but a re-ranking of the tributes admitted in the general examination. Gu Yunji has achieved such a high ranking in the general examination. Although he has not yet participated in the palace examination, he is actually equivalent to half a Jinshi.In other words, the conditions for him to fulfill his promise have basically been met.

Xu Shuhua naturally understood this, and couldn't help but be infected by Gu Yunji's emotions, and his eyes became moist.

The two just looked at each other silently, and they both read joy and excitement from each other's eyes. Although they didn't talk, they were already in harmony.

Just when the two looked at each other and were speechless, a faint quarrel suddenly came from outside the house.

Holding a pot of tea, Qiu Xiao glared at Xu Dong who was standing in front of her: "Why don't you let me in? Get out of the way!"

Xu Dong was unmoved, and said with a straight neck: "Anyway, it's not allowed! Mr. Cheng said that going in now will disturb them, I can't even enter, and of course you can't enter either!"

Qiu Xiao said angrily: "Why can't you come in and shut me down? I am my lady's personal maid, so I will naturally follow my lady's orders. If the lady asks me to make tea, I should bring in the brewed tea. Are you willing to listen to me?" You just listen to what Mr. Cheng says, and don't bother me!"

Looking at these two idiots who couldn't read the master's eyes, Cheng Yan helplessly stroked his forehead, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that it was unreasonable, Qiu Xiao was about to force her way in, but was stopped by Xu Dong abruptly. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw Xu Shuhua's figure from the corner of her eye, and she suddenly became happy: "Miss!"

"En." Xu Shuhua responded lightly, his eyes swept over the two people who were arguing, "What's going on?"

Now that Qiu Xiao has someone to back her up, she can't wait to sue: "Miss, you asked me to make tea, but he won't let me in after I've made the tea!"

Not to be outdone, Xu Dong quickly sought Gu Yunji's backing: "It's not that I don't let her in, it's Mr. Cheng who told me not to go in first, otherwise it will disturb you. If I can't enter, then naturally she can't either."

Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua's expressions froze when they heard the words, and they all fell silent in unison.

Xu Dong was completely unaware of the embarrassment of the two of them, so he begged Cheng Yan for approval: "Mr. Cheng, do you think so?"

Cheng Yan looked up at the sky, pretending he didn't hear anything, with "I don't know" written all over his face.

Gu Yunji took a deep breath, managed to maintain the calmness on his face, and changed the subject calmly: "Has the teacher not come back yet?"

Xu Dong slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, young master, Mr. Xu said he was tired, and they went back to the room to rest after delivering the money, and let you just leave when you have stayed enough, there is no need to say goodbye to him .”

Hearing the word "enough", Gu Yunji's cheeks became hot, and after coughing a few times as a cover-up, he turned around and bowed his head slightly to Xu Shuhua: "Miss Xu, then we will go back and visit another day."

At this time, hearing the pretentiously polite address of "Miss Xu", Xu Shuhua's ears blushed imperceptibly, and he nodded in return: "Okay, Mr. Gu and Mr. Cheng go slowly."

Looking at the backs of Gu Yunji and the others leaving, Qiu Xiao always felt something strange, and asked, "Miss, what does Mr. Cheng mean by 'don't disturb you'?"

Xu Shuhua was silent for a moment, then suddenly said without beginning or end: "Qiu Xiao, where is the brewed tea?"

Qiu Xiao raised the teapot in her hand: "Miss, do you want to drink now?"

Xu Shuhua smiled slightly, but his tone was cold: "I won't drink it, you can drink it yourself. If you finish drinking it, have another pot, drink a few more pots, this tea has the effect of clearing the heart and eyesight, and it is good for your eyes."

After saying that, she walked away on her own, leaving Qiu Xiao wondering where she was.
