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

"In order to maintain my illusory reputation, why did you force yourself into such a field? Qingyu, a woman, can't see or touch things. As a man, it's good to know how to be polite and behave. You There's no need to do so much."

Xu Shuhua's nose was reddish, his eyes were covered with mist, his heart was both moved and sour, and his voice was trembling with tears.

It was rare to hear Xu Shuhua call his full name, Gu Yunji raised his head in surprise, and smiled at her: "Although the reputation of a boudoir woman has no effect on me as a man, to you, it is a matter of life and death." If you are a little careless, even if you are smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to recover."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, lowered his head and sighed:

"There is no distinction between men and women in the world, but men can wander outside and have a vast world. Women are born to be bound in the boudoir, with thousands of shackles imposed on them, cutting off their wings and corners, and being trapped for a lifetime The back house, you can’t get out, you can’t escape.”

Gu Yunji looked directly into Xu Shuhua's eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Under such strict reprimands, Miss Xu can still have such a splendid literary thinking, full of talent, proficient in Western poetry, broad-minded, and generous, like a treasure found in a heap of stubborn stones." Uncut jade is extremely precious.”

"If that's the case, how can I not take good care of her? Miss Xu has gone through untold hardships to get to where she is today, and she must not be easily ruined by other people's gossip."

In this era, there are too few opportunities for women to learn. Even wealthy families only let their daughters read some female precepts, female virtues, and know two characters, and they don't teach them much.

Xu Shuhua was fortunate to have such a father as Xu Chengyu, who was much more enlightened than ordinary people. He taught both men and women, and thus cultivated a rare poetic spirit.

Even so, Xu Shuhua has heard words such as "a woman who has no talent is a virtue" since she was a child.But she has been stubbornly insisting on herself, refusing to live obediently as the woman that others want. Over the years, the prejudice and discrimination she has suffered is unimaginable to others. Except for her father and brother, how many people know about it?

Hearing Gu Yunji's words at this moment, Xu Shuhua only felt that his heart was being scratched lightly and softly, and suddenly became unbearably soft.There was the joy of meeting a confidant, but also the grievance of a difficult journey. Complex emotions were intertwined in her chest, making her throat sore.

Looking at Gu Yunji's bright eyes in the dark, she smiled suddenly, the corners of her mouth were not fully curled up, but tears fell from her cheeks, so she quickly reached out to wipe it away, tilting her head to hold back the surging tears.

Fang Zigui came to pester her that day, and he frightened the other party away by deceit. He could have exposed the matter as if nothing had happened, but he involved himself in provoking Fang Zigui because of her.

Afterwards, he was injured by the other party's revenge, and today he was drugged and assassinated to this point, but he didn't complain at all, and he was still worried about her safety and reputation.But, he might not have to.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua felt depressed, and said softly: "For me, is it worth it?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunji was startled.

does it worth?Gu Yunji had never thought about this question, but he knew that he had never regretted it.

At the very beginning, Gu Yunji told himself that the reason he designed to frame Fang Zigui was purely because of his despicable character and misbehavior, and there was no other reason.But at this moment, looking back on all the things he had experienced with Xu Shuhua, could he still deceive himself and say that he didn't have any feelings for her?

Gu Yunji raised his hand to cover his left chest, under the gaze of Xu Shuhua's autumn eyes, he felt his heart beating faster and faster, as fierce as a drum.It is as if a stone is thrown into a calm lake, causing bursts of rippling water waves.

Now that his body is honest enough, he should face his heart directly.

Gu Yunji raised his head and looked at Xu Shuhua, his eyes were sincere, and his tone was firm: "It's worth it."

"Miss Xu has such a character and talent. If she was a man, she would have been sought after and praised by many people. It's just because she is hidden in the daughter's house in the deep boudoir, so no one knows about it. I have a glimpse of Miss Xu's beauty, how can I not be admired?" Attraction, what about heartfelt love?"

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua was shocked.She is not a fool, so she can naturally sense the difference between Gu Yunji and her, and she can also feel the gradually warming relationship between the two.But it was the first time she heard Gu Yunji say so clearly that he was in love with her.

"Actually, I, I..." Hearing what Gu Yunji said, Xu Shuhua could hardly suppress his emotions, and wanted to confess his feelings immediately.But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to speak, and finally swallowed back with her thin lips pressed together.

The river water in the autumn night was bitingly cold, and Gu Yunji had only soaked for less than a quarter of an hour before his lips turned white and his whole body shivered.Feeling that the hotness in his body had subsided, thinking that the effect of the medicine had almost worn off, he stood up from the water and dragged his weak body to the shore.

"Miss Xu, I'm fine, you go back first." Gu Yunji said while twisting the water on his clothes, "It's not convenient for me to walk with you in this state, I will go back slowly after you leave."

Xu Shuhua had left not long ago, if he didn't go back, he might be suspicious.Seeing that the blush on Gu Yunji's face had completely faded at this moment, and her words had gained strength, she felt relieved, and said: "Okay, then you should be careful, go back and change quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Okay." Gu Yunji responded, and after Xu Shuhua turned and left, he also moved step by step along the river to his tent.

Not long after he left, he saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him: "Yunji, you? You didn't..."

Cheng Yan had just seen Xu Shuhua's leaving back from a distance, and was wondering why the two of them ended so quickly, when he saw Gu Yunji was covered in water stains, soaked from head to toe, he was suddenly startled: "You, you What happened? Did it fall into the river?"

"I didn't fall into the river, I went down by myself." Gu Yunji waved his hand, "Why are you here? Where's Su Qi?"

Cheng Yan said: "We saw that you hadn't come back, so we came out to look for you. Su Qi is watching Fang Zigui over the campfire at the moment, and beware of his next move." After speaking, he explained the matter from the beginning to the end. Explained it to Gu Yunji.

After listening to Cheng Yan's narration, Gu Yunji finally sorted out the cause and effect of the matter thoroughly. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you should be vigilant, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Wait!" Suddenly, he remembered something and narrowed his eyes, "Since I was rescued by you, why did Miss Xu find me?"

Cheng Yan's expression froze, and he forced a smile: "What Miss Xu? I've been staying here, and I haven't seen Miss Xu."

Gu Yunji had already been rescued by Su Qi and Cheng Yan, even if Xu Shuhua was tricked to come to the river, no one could see him, logically it should have been missed.But Xu Shuhua not only found him, but also almost made him lose control under the effect of aphrodisiac.

By the way, Xu Shuhua said that Cheng Yan went to find his sweater and will be back soon.In other words, Cheng Yan should have brought her here, but why did he only see Xu Shuhua and not Cheng Yan?

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji's whole body suddenly sank, and he said in disbelief: "It's you? Did you do it on purpose?"
