Chapter 554 I’m leaving
Xin Yueyuan declined politely and refused to answer.
"I'm sorry, but I have no comment to make."
"If Her Majesty the Concubine asks me in person, I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Yuanqiong stood up quickly.
"I'll ask her."
Xin Yueyuan was caught off guard and hurriedly called out to him.
"Your Highness, please slow down."
He was embarrassed and left his seat.
"Does Your Highness have to ask about my humble affairs?"
Gu Yuanqiong spoke clearly and explained his concerns.
"If you don't ask clearly, how can you solve it?"
"I can't just sit there and watch them quarrel, watching the fire from the other side of the river, and do nothing, can I?"
"It's not a good idea to keep arguing like this. If something goes wrong, it will cause trouble for the whole situation and we will regret it later."
Recalling the past, Xin Yueyuan made a resolute promise.
"When faced with a major event, they know their limits and will not make mistakes. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Gu Yuanqiong persevered.
"It is more appropriate to resolve the conflict."
Xin Yueyuan sighed with dismay.
"Alas, I'm afraid that Your Highness is also at a loss."
Gu Yuanqiong gestured to return to his seat with anticipation.
"You can talk about it."
Xin Yueyuan had no choice but to agree.
"Ok."
"My words may be vulgar, but I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
After the ceremony, he returned to his seat and spoke frankly.
"My eldest sister and I fell in love with each other when we first met. Our feelings have remained the same for more than ten years and have never changed."
"My feelings towards Second Senior Sister are at most just friendships between fellow disciples and good friends, not romantic feelings between men and women."
It was a small matter, and Gu Yuanqiong handled it easily.
"Then you can marry Lady Ji as your wife, and Lord Zhuo will naturally change his mind. Why do you keep intertwining the two and making it unclear what's going on for so long?"
Xin Yueyuan's brows were furrowed and his face looked troubled.
"Second Senior Sister said that if we get married, she will plot a plan to destroy us all."
"I have done nothing, so my death is not a pity, but if I cause the lives of these two to be in danger, it will be a misfortune for Beizhaotai and a regret for Yuesheng Dynasty."
"Besides, my master's hatred has not been avenged, and my junior sister's whereabouts are unknown. I can't rest in peace if she passes away like this."
"Therefore, I can only stay where I am and dare not move lightly."
Gu Yuanqiong was calm and brisk, and handled the situation with ease.
"Why not marry Master Ji and take Master Zhuo as a concubine, so that good things come in pairs?"
Xin Yueyuan was extremely terrified.
"How dare I wrong Second Senior Sister?"
“She also doesn’t want to be inferior to others.”
Things were still simple and easy to handle, and Gu Yuanqiong handled it with ease.
"The law of the co-wife has long been abolished. It is better to take her as a concubine and promise that I will never marry a wife for the rest of my life."
"They are equal, so their mood is peaceful."
Xin Yueyuan was worried and distressed and shook his head.
"They will make peace until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble."
"Your Highness knows very little about matters of the heart, and may not understand them."
"In fact, Second Senior Sister has no interest in me at all."
Gu Yuanqiong was startled when he heard this, and his eyes turned into confusion.
"No intention? Then what is she fighting for?"
"Isn't it your favor that they are fighting for?"
Xin Yueyuan was somewhat exhausted.
"I have been her disciple for more than ten years, and I have never seen her express emotions. All Second Senior Sister wants is to surpass First Senior Sister."
Gu Yuanqiong suddenly understood.
"I see."
He analyzed the reasons and had more than enough time to make a suggestion.
"I think it's because of resentment."
"Master Ji, if you just give her a little leniency and let her win once, won't the problem be solved?"
Xin Yueyuan asked back.
"Your Highness, how can you think that the eldest sister has no desire to win?"
Gu Yuanqiong was stunned.
"what?"
"She wants to win too?"
Xin Yueyuan looked worried.
"That's why they are so unwilling to give in to each other."
Gu Yuanqiong couldn't understand it at all and started arguing subconsciously.
"But she has already won. She is favored by the master, has the position of Beizhao Zhongcheng, and has the position of Beizhao Cheng. Moreover, you have entrusted her with your love. With all these, she is still not satisfied?"
"On the other hand, Master Zhuo was defeated miserably."
"I humbly think that, for the sake of fairness, it should be Master Zhuo's turn to win, right?"
Xin Yueyuan was unhappy.
"Your Highness listed all your opinions. If the eldest sister doesn't think she is superior, then she is not satisfied."
Gu Yuanqiong's expression suddenly became gloomy.
"She has already gotten so much, what else does she want?"
"What does it mean to win, in her opinion?"
Xin Yueyuan replied.
"Only when Second Senior Sister bows her head and admits defeat and obeys her orders, can she be satisfied and decide that she has won."
Gu Yuanqiong was extremely shocked.
"what?"
"How can this be?"
Xin Yueyuan felt extremely guilty.
"So, they scheme against each other endlessly."
Gu Yuanqiong asked lightly.
"Master Zhuo is also thinking that Master Ji will bow his head, admit defeat, and obey orders?"
Xin Yueyuan nodded.
"It is also."
Gu Yuanqiong was unbelievable.
“This…they…”
"As both are women, why do they have to quarrel with each other?"
Xin Yueyuan was dejected.
"Maybe, they have similar personalities, so they fight with each other."
"I blame myself for being incompetent and unable to stop the two sisters, causing Your Highness to be upset."
Thinking about being bothered by them in the future, Gu Yuanqiong was helpless and depressed.
"It's my fault, it's not your fault."
"It seems that this matter cannot be resolved in a short time. We can only take it step by step."
Xin Yueyuan responded.
"Your Highness is wise."
Then he changed the subject and talked about the second thing.
"I have received your Highness's request to stay in Beijing. But I don't know who your father and your brother's wife are."
Gu Yuanqiong took a sip of scented tea to calm himself.
"I don't know who this person is, my lord."
"My younger brother is Ning Fengzhe, the eldest son of the Ning family. My younger sister is Gao Yihe, the second concubine of the Gao family."
Xin Yueyuan took it to heart and promised firmly.
"Your mother, my dear brothers and sisters, I will spare no effort and protect you with my life."
"However, your father is trapped in the Tongshitai mansion, and I am outside the situation, so it may be difficult for me to protect him."
Gu Yuanqiong was sincere in asking for help and took the initiative to add more tea for him.
"The family lord's talent is enough to protect himself, so there should be no worries."
"Thank you, Lord Xin, for staying in Beijing for me and taking care of the situation."
Before leaving, Gu Yuanqiong went to the Beitang Residence of Ning Mansion.
Ning Fengzhe was already quite impatient with being harassed by him every day. As soon as he saw him, he became irritated and completely abandoned his manners.
"What are you doing again?"
Gu Yuanqiong smiled elegantly, reluctant to leave, and stared at his brother.
"I'm leaving."
Ning Fengzhe was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Walk slowly without sending."
My brother is extremely filial. If he knew the truth about his life, he would find it hard to bear. Gu Yuanqiong chose to remain silent.
"There are some things I want to tell you."
Ning Fengzhe was displeased because he couldn't stand the way he acted superior and taught others.
"explain."
Gu Yuanqiong hinted at some advice.
"Mr. Ning, I treat you well."
"There is no point in worrying too much. You should stay in Ning Mansion and be filial to him."
Ning Fengzhe didn't understand what he meant and was too lazy to think about it. He didn't care and was just angry.
"My family affairs are none of your business."
Gu Yuanqiong was worried about his younger brother being used by their father and eventually ruined; at the same time, he comforted himself that his younger brother was wise and their father could not defeat him.
So he smiled and made a promise.
"When I return to Beijing, I will treat you and your sister to a meal."
Ning Fengzhe didn't care about his words and simply refused.
"Oh, we don't want to see you."
Gu Yuanqiong didn't care and smiled, leaving a message before leaving.
"Take care of yourself."
