Chapter 492

“Xiao Jiu…” Gu Zezhi naturally held her hand.

Pressed against his warm palm, Qin Jiu felt embarrassed for no reason, and she felt her head feverish, making her suddenly blurt out. “It’s time for you to propose a toast!”

Gu Zezhi swallowed back his unfinished words and looked at her with a slight smile. He nodded seriously and said, “I understand!”

He uttered these words with a care-free demeanor.

Madam Xiao, on the other hand, could not help but pursed her lips into a smile.

The somewhat similar eyes of the mother and son made Qin Jiu’s cheeks suddenly turn red, as delicate as a cloud in the sky.

She almost fled back to her new house, followed closely by her maidservant, Du Rou, and others.

Today was a big day, and the guests filled the whole place and buzzed with joyous sounds until the second watch, before they went home one after another. Only then did the County King’s mansion become quiet and fall completely silent.

The night was as cold as frost, and the pink plum outside the window trembled in the cold wind, sending out a faint fragrance.

The stamens of the flowers bloomed, forming a beautiful pink color on the branches that looked delicate and beautiful.

That night, the candle of the dragon and the phoenix courtyard of the wedding room kept burning until dawn.

Qin Jiu woke up to a loud crowing of roosters, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar large red gauze curtain above. She sat up holding onto the blanket, her body sore, and was painful, as if it had been rolled over by someone. She could not help but frown and groan, and then realized that her voice was a little hoarse and soft.

Thinking about the previous night’s activity, she felt like her ears were burning, and could not simply face everything in the room. For example, the almost half of hexin wine that was fed into her mouth by him…

At this time, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and Gu Zezhi, who was wearing a bright red robe, walked in from the outside. He had taken a bath and washed himself, he looked refreshed, his brows relaxed, and he was full of energy and was glowing.

He woke up early while she was sleeping soundly, he did not want to disturb her nor could he bear to wake her, that was why he quietly got up and went out to wash up first…

“You’re awake.” Gu Zezhi walked quickly towards her, his brows, as warm as usual, a far cry from his appearance last night.

As soon as Qin Jiu saw him, her mind flashed back to the previous night’s lingering, loving, and wildness they shared. She simply could not look at him in the eyes, so she softly called out. “Du Ruo!”

Gu Zezhi raised his sword-like eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes.

Was she shy?

Immediately Du Ruo and two other maidservants came in after Qin Jiu called out, thus, Gu Zezhi’s appearance seemed a little unnecessary right now, he could only silently leave as he mouthed to Qin Jiu. “There is ample time.”

Qin Jiu pretended she did not see anything.

It has been proven that she was right to kick Guzezhi. Under Du Ruo’s service, in less than half an hour, she came out of the inner room completely refreshed, wearing a bright red dress that was the same as Gu Zezhi, and tied a crescent bun.

The two of them left the wedding room together and went to offer tea to Madam Xiao as a greeting.

Madam Xiao was now also living in the Chen County King’s mansion. She originally thought that since she and Duan Wangye were no longer connected, she should live in her mansion; however, she was persuaded by Gu Zezhi to move into the County King’s mansion that day before yesterday.
