Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 355 Why is this guy so jealous?

After a long while, Gu Qingyue stared at the man who was tidying her clothes with her watery eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

In her excitement, she tried to pull on Mu Yun Chu's belt, but he held her down and wouldn't let her move. What did that mean?

Why do I keep tormenting myself like this, when I don't want to sleep?!

Humph! Scumbag!

Once you've cleared your head, it's time to bring up old grievances.

"Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of me for ten days?" Gu Qingyue said fiercely.

"Okay, let's start counting from today," Mu Yun Chu said, looking at Gu Qing Yue's sullen face. She reached out and pulled Gu Qing Yue into her arms again, holding her tightly and ignoring her resistance.

Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes and glared at Mu Yun Chu, her meaning clear: What are you doing now?

"You're the one who showed up in front of me today," Mu Yun Chu said, ignoring her fierce gaze and lying without batting an eye.

Gu Qingyue was about to explode. This lecherous scoundrel! He doesn't even blink when he lies and makes excuses!

Seeing that Gu Qingyue was about to explode, Mu Yun Chu chuckled and hugged her tightly. "It was my fault. Tell me how you want to punish me, except for not letting me see you."

"You! So domineering!" Gu Qingyue said irritably.

However, Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "Alright, I can see you, but—"

"I want to see you, and I want to hold you and kiss you. I'll accept any punishment other than that," Mu Yun Chu interrupted her, his breath slightly hoarse as he whispered in her ear, adding, "Anyone who wants to mess with you? Dream on!"

Gu Qingyue was furious. What an arrogant and shameless scoundrel!

She didn't want to talk to this man anymore!

Isn't it just Prince Jing and the Eighth Prince?

She can handle it herself, why is this guy so jealous?

"Hehe, what if someone else has designs on it?"

"Killed".

"..."

Lovers really do have low IQs. The two of them childishly bickered for a long time. In the end, Gu Qingyue decided that next time she must stay calm and never give in to temptation because of good looks. She must save face!

In fact, Mu Yun Chu was really angry and jealous today!

When he heard what Zhang Qingxuan said that night, he immediately wanted to twist the neck off the eighth brother, Mu Yunwen.

How could he not be furious that someone was openly coveting his woman?

Although he knew that Gu Qingyue was not one to suffer losses, he was still so angry that he wanted to kill her!

The punishment for the fifth prince, Mu Yunjing, is still pending, and now the eighth prince, Mu Yunwen, has arrived!

He had just sent someone to submit a memorial this morning about Mu Yunjing's people secretly intercepting the imperial disaster relief funds in the Northwest, and this afternoon someone else was already eyeing Gu Qingyue!

Thinking about it, I still felt a bit resentful. "I'll deal with the Eighth Prince tomorrow. You don't need to be so polite next time."

Gu Qingyue found it amusing. "Deal with it? Kill it?"

"It's not the right time yet. We need to make sure he never has the chance to provoke you again..." Mu Yun Chu's face was cold and stern, and her eyes were already tinged with icy coldness.

"No need," Gu Qingyue said, squeezing his large hand with a smile. "I've already punished you. Consider it a warning. You shouldn't cause any trouble now. It's important to protect yourself."

Thinking of the medicinal powder she had 'gifted' to the Eighth Prince that afternoon, Gu Qingyue smiled like a little fox.

She felt no qualms about using this method to punish the scumbag, since the Eighth Prince was never a good person anyway.

Seeing this, Mu Yunchu chuckled and pinched her cheek. She couldn't help but lift her small chin and gently bite her pink lips. This cunning little girl!

Why does he like it so much?!

The Eighth Prince's Residence.

As soon as the Eighth Prince Mu Yunwen entered the room, he summoned the old steward, Uncle Tong.

When talking about marrying Miss Gu, the third daughter of the Duke's mansion, his eyes sparkled, and he looked completely infatuated.

We must get Uncle Tong to find a way to get the Emperor to agree to the marriage.

Uncle Tong was so frightened by what he heard that his legs went weak!

Young master, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is not to be trifled with. Besides, who in the capital doesn't know about your reputation for being a womanizer?

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would never marry its only legitimate daughter to the young master!

It's not a matter of status, but rather that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would never agree to it, even if it meant death.

It's too difficult for the young master to ask him to come up with a solution.

There's no way we can get past the old Duke!

Unless the emperor directly bestows the marriage, it would mean a complete breakdown in relations with the Duke's mansion!

If that's the case, then marrying Gu Qingyue wouldn't be a good deal! Not only would it not bring any help, but it might also implicate their Eighth Prince.

Uncle Tong looked at the Eighth Prince's eager gaze with a headache and tried to speak: "Perhaps Your Highness should reconsider, as for the old Duke Gu..."

The Eighth Prince was startled. Suddenly, an image of a vigorous, tall, and robust old man appeared in his mind, with sharp and imposing eyes. He shuddered at the thought.

"Let me think about it some more, and you should think about it some more too."

"Yes," Uncle Tong quickly stepped back, his back already soaked with sweat.

He watched the Eighth Prince grow up. Although he only truly stayed by the side when the Eighth Prince left the palace to establish his own residence, he saw the Eighth Prince's extravagant and unrestrained behavior and tried to persuade him many times, but all his efforts ended in failure.

He was brought to the capital by Liu, the mother of the Eighth Prince, when she entered the palace.

He had been in charge of Liu's dowry shops in the capital until the Eighth Prince summoned him to his residence.

He couldn't even recall how many times he had caused trouble for the Eighth Prince over the past few years.

This young master is completely unrestrained when it comes to women!

They brought all sorts of things, fragrant and foul, to the bed, and quite a few of them were from respectable families.

The concubines in the mansion could form an entire opera troupe, for which he was scolded by the emperor countless times!

Sigh, I'm so tired.

"Uncle Tong, I'm serious this time," Uncle Tong hadn't gone far when he heard the Eighth Prince's words and stopped in his tracks.

really?

Just as Uncle Tong was about to turn around, he heard the Eighth Prince's voice again, which was tinged with a hint of restraint, "You should first find a way to get Miss Gu and me together, so that she will have no choice but to marry me."

Uncle Tong stumbled and almost fell to the ground!

He's just a lowly steward! To scheme against the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? He doesn't have that kind of guts!

As for the Eighth Prince having nightmares all night and developing a high fever and delirium because he was thinking about Gu Qingyue that night, that's another story, and Gu Qingyue didn't want to know at all.

This is all thanks to the powder, isn't it? It's a normal reaction!! Hehehe!!

Gu Qingyue returned to the Duke's Mansion and immediately went to find Gu Yuanjin to tell him about what happened at He Tai Feng that afternoon.

At least it serves as a warning to everyone. Who knows what that pervert might do next to harm your family?

Gu Yuanjin was furious upon hearing this!

His phoenix eyes were dark and deep, as if a storm was brewing, but they returned to normal in a moment.

He gestured for Gu Qingyue to go back and rest, and instructed her not to tell her grandfather yet, as he was afraid of upsetting the old Duke.

Gu Qingyue waved her hand and, as soon as she returned to Feiyue Pavilion, she saw Yu Mo standing in the shadows under the corridor.

"Come in," Gu Qingyue said as she entered the main hall, gesturing for Yu Mo to follow.

How could she possibly let that perverted eighth prince go so easily?

Yu Mo must have already found out some news at the Eighth Prince's residence.

"Speak," Gu Qingyue gestured for him to sit down.
