Shen Zhongbai had great strength. When meeting Gu Qiang’s eyes, he smiled at her. Then he leaned forward. She saw a guy in black holding a sword that pierced Shen Zhongbai’s back.
Shen Zhongbai gritted his teeth. Close to him, Gu Qiang even could feel his teeth rubbing.
She steadied herself. Shen Zhongbai gritted his teeth, flew onto her horse with her and clamped it with his legs. The horse was frightened and rushed forward.
What he did made Gu Qiang confused. She knew clearly that he was a bad guy and it might be only for show. But she was on the horse and couldn’t get down or do anything. If she rolled down the horse, she might die, and her horse would run away.
She also might be killed by the guys in black when they caught up with her. They looked like fierce robbers. Anyway, she couldn’t escape from death this time.
While she was thinking about it, she felt her shoulder sink. Shen Zhongbai put his chin on her shou
Soon Shen Zhongbai fell into the cold pool. The pool kept sinking. Besides, he was so heavy that half of his body sank into the pool immediately after he fell. As he struggled, his body sank quickly. After a while, his chest was submerged.Gu Qiang stood aside and tried her best to refrain herself from laughing.Shen Qianshan waved his hand in a nearby plum tree. Watching his master flip a stone to Shen Zhongbai's leg like a thunderbolt, Jin Ye felt confused. Did his master…hate Shen Zhongbai so much?Jin Ye found the face of his master darkened immediately and fierceness almost spilled over from his eyes when he found Gu Qiang wanted to hold Shen Zhongbai.Then Shen Zhongbai's leg hurt and he fell into the cold pool.The cold pool was not so dangerous as one could imagine, but if a person without Kung Fu fell into it, he would have a slim chance of survival.Jin Ye turned around and found figures flash in
Gu Qiang quickened her pace but Shen Qianshan grabbed her hand. Then she lost her balance and fell towards his arms. She steadied herself immediately, looked back at him and frowned. Obviously, she was unhappy.Shen Qianshan was absent-minded when he smelt the pear blossom fragrance from Gu Qiang that permeated the air. Gu Qiang broke free from Shen Qianshan’s arms instantly, turned around and asked sulkily, “Your Royal Highness, what do you want to do? Do you regard me as that kind of woman?”Indeed, innumerable women in the capital were eager to marry Shen Qianshan, but he was short-lived. In addition, Gu Qiang bore lots of responsibilities, and many things were to be finished. Therefore, she had never thought about love.She had a tough life in Gu Family. Anything else was a problem for her.“I don’t care what kind of woman you are. I only believe what I see. It’s not dark now. Will you go to Anning Street with me
Then Gu Qiang turned around for her horse. Surprisingly, Shen Qianshan didn’t hold her back. She walked past him. When he smelt her faint fragrance of pear blossom, his eyes twinkled.After Gu Qiang left, Ziyan who was picking lanterns aside found the nice sister she just got had left. Then she walked over and wanted to hold Shen Qianshan’s hand. But he dodged and moved towards his house.Perhaps Ziyan was accustomed to his manner. She followed him and asked curiously, “Brother, where did Miss Gu go? Are you seeing her?”Shen Qianshan paused with an impenetrable expression. Seeing that, Ziyan walked to him and was curious about his answer. But he said nothing and then moved on alone.Ziyan was anxious to call him behind, but she was stopped by a secret guard emerging from nowhere.“Your Highness, please return. It’s getting late.” The secret guard said slowly.Infanta Ziyan’s face looked terrible. She turn
Gu Zhihua twisted her hands nervously and looked up at Gu Qiang from time to time. She was clear that Gu Qiang had changed, but she still hoped Gu Qiang could give her a surprise by refuting the rumor between her and the Third Prince.Gu Zhihua couldn’t accept Gu Qiang’s private date with the Third Prince. But if the rumor was true, Gu Qiang would be regarded as a vile person! That meant Gu Qiang provoked her and made her jealous intentionally!“Now that it isn’t true, why do you care about it, mother? If you believe the rumor instead of me, I have nothing to say.” Then Gu Qiang put the cup on the table. Though she didn’t have Kung Fu, she tried to avoid drinking whatever was given by Ye.Ye had done such disgusting things for several times. Gu Qiang felt as if treading on thin ice. Any carelessness might kill her.Gu Qiang turned around. Ye parted her lips, but she didn’t say anything and let Gu Qiang leave.Watching
Seeing Shen Zhongbai’s face darken instantly, Empress Dowager coughed lightly. When she was about to say something, the eunuch shouted in a thin voice, “The Ninth Duke arrives.”Everyone was surprised. Gu Qiang turned around only to see Shen Qianshan in white too. He was so charming that Gu Qiang was slightly absent-minded.After greeting Empress Dowager, Shen Qianshan turned around to look at Shen Zhongbai and beamed, “Long time no see, brother.” Shen Zhongbai looked up at Shen Qianshan, his younger brother. They seemed to get on well, but they had no private contact in fact. Shen Qianshan appeared suddenly today. He must come here for Gu Qiang.Shen Zhongbai’s secret guard told him this morning that Gu Qiang stayed with Shen Qianshan last night. Their relationship must be not so simple as it seemed to be.“Though it has been a long time since we saw each other last time, you must have seen Miss Gu for many times, ri
“What are you doing?” Shen Qianshan asked. It was enough to send a chill down Ziyan’s spine. He was too powerful. Ziyan had seen him angry before, but she didn’t expect that he seemed to be angrier this time. She just pushed Gu Qiang. Was it a big deal?Thinking of it, Ziyan calmed down, looked up at Shen Qianshan in a stubborn way and pouted, “I don’t want to see Sister Qiang to be so close to you. Do you fall in love with her?”Why was everything related to Gu Qiang? Gu Qiang stood aside embarrassedly and explained to Ziyan helplessly, “Your Highness, it is not like what you imagine.”But Shen Qianshan reached out his hand to stop Gu Qiang and told Ziyan, “It’s none of your business. What you should do is to be an infanta and not meddle in my business.”Then he patted Gu Qiang’s back lightly, signaling her to leave right away.Gu Qiang was surprised for a moment. It was a little embarrassing to leave Ziyan here alone
Unexpectedly, Gu Qiang was really something. She not only had a dubious relationship with the Ninth Duke but also was proposed by the Third Prince. Why was she so lucky? What was Gu Zhihua’s shortcoming compared with her?“Can you calm down? Behave yourself!” Ye turned around and cast a warning glance at Gu Zhihua, hoping that she didn’t behave like a mad woman in the presence of Gu Qiang.Though Ye didn’t know why Gu Qiang had changed so much since she fell into water, obviously she was no longer the stupid woman that could be manipulated by Ye.Now that it was a competition of wisdom, Ye didn’t hope her daughter was like a mad woman. She hoped Gu Zhihua could be a credit to her at least instead of humiliating her in the presence of Gu Qiang.However, what Ye said didn’t work. Gu Zhihua intended to rush up to Gu Qiang. Luckily, a nearby granny held Gu Zhihua back in time.Facing mad Gu Zhihua, Gu Qiang seemed composed
“Don’t play dumb. You are clear that Qianshan was my childhood sweetheart…” Mentioning Shen Qianshan, Ziyan flushed. Gu Qiang understood her meaning instantly. It turned out that she did it because of Shen Qianshan.Shen Qianshan had no relationship with Gu Qiang, but he always got her into trouble. However, what Gu Qiang needed to do right now was extricate herself from here. After all, the infanta was not of evil nature. So long as Gu Qiang persuaded her, the situation would probably not be terrible.“Your Highness, please believe that I have no relationship with the Ninth Duke. Besides, you are childhood sweethearts to each other. I haven’t known him long. How can it be compared with your relationship?” Gu Qiang explained with an earnest expression. The infanta looked at Gu Qiang, who had bright piercing eyes and looked sincere. She regarded unconsciously what Gu Qiang said reasonable.Seeing the infanta so innocent, her guards thought her u
