Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

An Junw.a.n.g said, "You don't have to answer me right away, this is a big decision after all. You may want to go back and consider it carefully. Don't make impulsive decisions that you'll regret in the future."

With that, he stood up and walked out of the main room and went to continue packing his belongings.

Gu Jinyu also rose to her feet, her voice quivering as she gazed at his departing figure, "I'm willing! I'm willing to marry you! As long as you don't mind my background, I'm willing to go with you to the border!"

An Junw.a.n.g turned slowly, "I have never minded your background, even when I was a Junw.a.n.g, and even more so now."

Gu Jinyu smiled with relief, "That's good."

An Junw.a.n.g looked deeply at her and said, "However, your father may not agree. If you insist on marrying me, we may only have the option of eloping."

"I'm not afraid!" Gu Jinyu responded.

An Junw.a.n.g said, "Alright, tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you at the city gate."

After Gu Jinyu left, Liu Quan walked over, looking at An Junw.a.n.g with a somewhat indescribable expression, "Are you really taking her with you?"

Gu Jinyu had previously s.n.a.t.c.hed credit from Gu Jiao and often caused trouble for Gu Jiao and Yao s.h.i.+, so Liu Quan only saw her as a big troublemaker.

An Junw.a.n.g replied bitterly, "We have a marriage contract after all. If she's willing to elope, I have no reason to refuse her."

After returning to Marquis Ding'an Estate, Gu Jinyu immediately chased the servant girls out of the room.

The servant girls were dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, young miss?" Asked one high-ranking servant girl.

Gu Jinyu opened the cabinet, turned her head to the door, and ordered, "No one is allowed to come in!"

"Young miss! What's going on?" The high-ranking servant girl asked as she approached the door.

"I said no one is allowed in!" Gu Jinyu took out all the clothes from the cabinet.

The high-ranking servant girl had never seen Gu Jinyu in such a state of distress before, so how could she ignore it?

She pushed the door and saw the bed full of clothes, immediately dumbfounded. Ignoring Gu Jinyu's orders, she stepped into the room, "Young miss! What are you doing? Why are you taking all the clothes out? You... you..."

She saw Gu Jinyu take a chest and stuff all the clothes into it.

The high-ranking servant girl hurriedly asked, "Young miss, are you planning to move out?"

Gu Jinyu said sternly, "No one is allowed to interfere with me! Also, no one is allowed to mention my return!"

The servant girls at the door looked at each other.

The high-ranking servant girl sensed that something was wrong and quietly signaled to them with her eyes, "Go get Lord Marquis!"

A quick-footed servant girl went.

Marquis Gu happened to be at home today. After a series of renovations and expansions, the mansion requested by Empress Dowager Zhuang was finally completed. Now there was only one handover ceremony left, and he had asked the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to choose an auspicious day.

He was now waiting for the results at home.

The servant girl reported at the door, "Lord Marquis! You need to go check! Something happened with the young miss! She's collecting clothes as soon as she gets back, and she won't let anyone leak the news!"

Marquis Gu frowned and went straight to Gu Jinyu's courtyard without saying a word.

Gu Jinyu had just finished packing a chest of clothes and started packing her jewelry. She had just opened the drawer of the dressing table when Marquis Gu walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Jinyu, what are you doing?"

He asked in a deep voice.

Gu Jinyu's body trembled, and a top-quality pearl hairpin slipped from her palm and fell to the ground with a snap, scattering the pearl flowers.

She turned around with a panicked look in her eyes, using the dressing table as a s.h.i.+eld, "Father..."

Marquis Gu glanced at the chest that hadn't been closed on the ground, then at the broken pearl hairpin in Gu Jinyu's hand. His gaze gradually cooled, "Jinyu, are you planning to sneak away?"

"I... I..." Gu Jinyu stuttered.

Marquis Gu looked coldly at the high-ranking servant girl beside him, "Where did your young miss go today?"

The high-ranking servant girl answered in a small voice, "She... She went to Bishui Alley."

Marquis Gu's gaze chilled, "Did that girl bully you again?"

Gu Jinyu hurriedly said, "No, Father! It's not about my sister! It's me! I met An Junw.a.n.g! I want to go to the border with him!"

Marquis Gu frowned, "The border? Has he been exiled too? You——"

Gu Jinyu stepped forward, grabbing Marquis Gu's arm, "Father! He hasn't been exiled! He volunteered to go to the border. He even resigned from his position as a Junw.a.n.g for this. He is a good man of integrity and loyalty. I'm willing to follow him! Please, Father, fulfill your daughter's wis.h.!.+"

Marquis Gu replied without hesitation, "I don't agree!"

Gu Jinyu pleaded bitterly, "Father, this daughter has already been intimate with An Junw.a.n.g, how can I marry someone else in this lifetime?"

Marquis Gu, with a touch of irritation, retorted, "As for that matter of intimacy, if you don't mention it, I don't mention it, and he doesn't mention it, who will know?"

Gu Jiao was married, and Marquis Gu didn’t even want to acknowledge that marriage. What was more with Gu Jinyu who hadn't married yet?

Gu Jinyu's eyes turned red, and she knelt on the ground, "Father! I am sincerely in love with An Junw.a.n.g... Please, Father, fulfill your daughter's wish..."

Marquis Gu was furious. If this were a son, he had beaten her up already!

He gritted his teeth and said to her, "Jinyu! You are too young! Do you know what true love is? Was Princess Ning’an not sincere to her husband? What happened in the end? She died on the borderlands! I will never agree to let you marry a dest.i.tute scion!"

He had once looked up to An Junw.a.n.g, but now he despised him.

If he was no longer the legitimate grandson of a prominent family, what qualifications did he have to be his son-in-law?

But because she was his daughter, Marquis Gu couldn't be too harsh. He softened his tone and said, "Jinyu, you are the most beloved daughter of your father. I won't let you suffer at the border!"

"But Father..."

"Jinyu, don't disappoint your father!" Marquis Gu's tone became inadvertently stern.

Gu Jinyu had never angered Marquis Gu like this before, and even the servant girls were all scared silly.

Marquis Gu said coldly, "You must have been influenced by that girl! She's disobedient, and now you're learning from her!"

Gu Jinyu choked up, "Father..."

Marquis Gu's eyes sharpened, "Somebody, come!"

"Lord Marquis." The high-ranking servant girl walked over.

Marquis Gu ordered, "From now on, keep the door guarded day and night. Watch your young miss closely, and don't let her out! Otherwise, every one of you will be sold off!"

The high-ranking servant girl glanced at Gu Jinyu and nodded, "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Marquis Gu walked away, and Gu Jinyu chased after him, "Father! Father!"

The servant girls promptly stopped her.

The high-ranking servant girl comforted her, "Young miss, please go back to your room quickly. Don't make it difficult for us."

Tears streamed down Gu Jinyu's face, "You guys let me see my father again, okay? Let me plead with him again…”

The high-ranking servant girl said earnestly, "Young miss, Lord Marquis is doing this for your own good. An Junw.a.n.g… Young Master Zhuang has nothing now, he's just a commoner. If you marry him, you won't have a good life. I understand that you're kind-hearted and can't bear to betray your fiance, but don't you think about Lord Marquis? He loves you so much. What will he do when he misses his daughter?"

Gu Jinyu collapsed to the ground, covering her face and sobbing softly.

"Second young miss is just too kind-hearted."

"You think everyone is like the eldest miss, with only her husband in her heart and no consideration for Lord Marquis, her own father?"

"Isn't it because her husband is capable? Her husband is the top student in the academy even in the countryside. The eldest miss only forced herself to marry him because he could become the top scholar. If Lord Xiao was worthless or exiled, do you think the eldest miss would still want to follow him?"

"It's our second young miss who’s sincere."

"Unfortunately, they are destined to be separated, unable to become husband and wife in this life."

As the night grew quiet, the chatter of the servant girls in the corridor gradually ceased.

Gu Jinyu sat quietly in the room, without lighting the lamp or eating the food the servant girls brought in.

Suddenly, the commotion outside completely disappeared.

She looked up and saw dark figures flash by the window.

In the next moment, the door was pushed open, and one of the dark figures rushed in!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
