Imperial Treasure-Chapter 946 - 570: Marriage (2)

She is also a member of the Gu Family.

It’s over, it’s over, a big event is coming!

Is this going to cause a minor earthquake?

Gu Wenqing indeed raised his eyes upon hearing, slightly frowned, while Jiang Muxiu looked at his mother, only seeing the profound and uncertain gleam in her eyes.

He had seen this gleam in the eyes of Gu Sansi, Mo Ke, and Sui Yi.

Wise.

Calm.

Insightful.

And quiet.

Jiang Muxiu felt at ease.

He turned to look at the person who walked in.

The person who walked in was a refined scholar, not as handsome as Bai Renyuan, yet possessing his own unique charm. In fact, when he walked in with steady steps, dressed in a modest yet somewhat elegant suit, official personnel with a full aura of authority following behind him, along with young subordinates.

Among them was Han Junyan.

When he suddenly heard this sentence, he was bewildered, then angry, and just as he was about to speak, the person in front lightly waved his hand, and he stopped.

Bai Yuanxiu also stopped, looking at Mo Ke.

His expression was calm, his gaze incredibly deep.

Mo Ke met his eyes, her thin lips slightly parted: "I was just told, that when Mr. Bai ascended in the political arena, he took pains to win over the Jhiang Family, choosing a gentleman from their midst to be my husband, and astonishingly, a third of my Mo Family supported this... Am I to thank Mr. Bai for his painstaking efforts, or marvel at your great ambition and capability?"

"The Gu Family is still too small, unable to accommodate such a great Buddha like you."

"Indeed, the Bai Family, with its glorious feats in political history, has countless wrongful deaths, but can be tolerated by the Gu Family, or any family willing to assist you in soaring high."

She held her hands behind her back, turning towards the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the blue sky, ignoring everyone around, her features clear and noble, her voice gentle.

"But what does it matter to my Mo Family how many of the Bai Family die?"

"Perhaps in the future, it will matter."

Mo Ke’s demeanor was serene, her face tranquil.

Yet it filled everyone with tremendous terror.

Bai Yuanxiu remained silent.

Quiet and indifferent.

The wind did not blow, the clouds did not move.

Gong Jiu and the others sensed a crisis that was no less than the previous wizard’s sudden attack.

After a while, Bai Yuanxiu raised his hand, adjusting the glasses on his nose, and calmly looked at Mo Ke, saying: "Miss Mo is mistaken, Yuanxiu had no such intentions. Of course, Miss Mo is a wise person but also stubbornly holds her views, I fear no explanation from me will suffice, so there’s no choice but to resign to this..."

Mo Ke nodded: "I also hope it’s a misunderstanding, I even thought you wouldn’t be so generous, sending not just one gentleman from the Jhiang Family, but sending a cousin too."

"I’m afraid I can’t afford it."

Mo Ke would tell a dirty joke?

No.

Everyone at Beijing University can tell you she wouldn’t! Definitely wouldn’t!

But she did now.

A mild dirty joke.

One that sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Bai Renyuan’s face turned terribly pale.

A fear gained from Mo Ke, and also from Bai Yuanxiu.

In any case, he had nothing to say.

Only Bai Yuanxiu could resolve this awkward and dangerous situation now.

Bai Yuanxiu squinted, looking at his cousin...

Was Bai Renyuan Bai Yuanxiu’s cousin?

Well, it’s truly a "ha-ha" moment.

Su Zimu silently lowered her gaze, Bai Renyuan’s identity had always been relatively secretive, but she hadn’t expected him to be Bai Yuanxiu’s cousin.

No, she hadn’t expected Bai Yuanxiu to be a member of the Bai Family.

That Bai Family...

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward, cold, and mysteriously bizarre.

Because Gu Wenqing didn’t speak, Bai Yuanxiu didn’t speak, Mo Ke stopped speaking.

None of them said a word, can we speak?

"Not going in?"

Suddenly a faint and clear voice was heard from outside the door.

Many people’s expressions turned strange, looking towards the door.

Sui Yi stood just outside the door.

But it wasn’t her voice earlier.

"Might not be suitable," Sui Yi mildly said.

"There’s nothing unsuitable, I, as the fiancée, don’t find it unsuitable."

Then Gu Sansi walked out from behind Sui Yi.

Sui Yi: "..."

She glanced at Su Zimu.

Su Zimu coughed lightly, um, I didn’t tell you Gu Sansi and Bai Yuanxiu had an engagement?

Sui Yi: No.

Su Zimu: Okay, I apologize, but they do have an engagement, a union that shocked many three years ago, since then, Bai Yuanxiu rose to prominence.

No one knows why the Gu Family accepted such an engagement.

Gu Sansi even agreed to it. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

That year blinded many young gentlemen of the Capital City, some became monks, and inevitably, many inexplicably died.
