Chapter 690 Like-minded

Gu Yuanqiong replied, somewhat modestly.

"Ashamed, ashamed."

"The beauty of a woman is only slightly explored."

He turned his head coldly, glanced at Mi Yao, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Young Master Jiang is asking for mercy. It's hard to refuse good intentions. Yao'er, please get up."

Mi Yao first responded to the prince, and then turned to Zhuang Wei and thanked him earnestly.

"Yes."

"Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Jiang."

Gu Yuanqiong waved his sleeves and looked away with disgust, not wanting to look at him any more.

"Back off."

Mi Yao swallowed her anger and bowed respectfully.

"The slaves retire."

After watching Mi Yao walk out of the main hall, Zhuang Wei looked back, smiled faintly, and asked without leaving a trace.

"Since the maid is not satisfactory, why don't you replace her, Tong Shaolang?"

"Is she still useful to you?"

Sensing a hint of temptation, Gu Yuanqiong immediately became alert and easily resolved the crisis.

"What use are these annoying things to me?"

"It's because Young Master Jiang likes her that I'm reluctant to keep her. Otherwise, after apologizing, I'll sell her off to another place and find someone new."

The implication in his words was vague and difficult to grasp. Zhuang Wei pondered over it and was secretly shocked.

How could this person understand my temptation?

Was it me who accidentally let the cat out of the bag? Or was it his brilliant idea that was so extraordinary?

Gu Yuanqiong's choice of words was so careful that Zhuang Wei found it difficult to ask further questions.

After all, he just said that he would cherish beautiful women.

If he wanted to ask further, he had to change the subject and say that he didn't like Mi Yao.

It is not difficult to change one's words, but the intention of testing is more obvious.

Zhuang Wei was immediately defeated and had to give up the conversation.

"Tong Shaolang, that's thoughtful. Thank you."

Gu Yuanqiong is elegant and refined.

"You and I agreed yesterday that we would be close friends. It's only natural that I care about you. You don't have to thank me."

Sensing the other party's temptation, he naturally became suspicious.

"When a friend comes to visit, it is only right to return the greeting. May I ask, Young Master Jiang, where do you live?"

Zhuang Wei smiled with a hint of embarrassment.

"North Street, Shuying County, Jianglian House."

"You don't have to return the greeting. The hut is simple and I am afraid I will be neglectful and I don't have the face to see Tong Shaolang."

Gu Yuanqiong became more suspicious.

"Young Master Jiang has a good appearance and is well-dressed. He doesn't look like someone who lives in a thatched cottage at all."

"If you don't give up, please give me a chance. I will buy you a house as a gift."

Zhuang Weimin cleverly dispelled his doubts.

"Tong Shaolang's kindness, I appreciate it."

"To be honest, I originally had a house, and I sold it on purpose."

Gu Yuanqiong asked.

"But why?"

Zhuang Wei spoke the truth with a sincere look in his eyes.

"If I tell you, I'm afraid Tong Shaolang will laugh at me."

"The prodigal son returned and settled on one person. I foolishly used a trick to buy a cottage and pretend to be poor, hoping to see if she would despise it."

Gu Yuanqiong's doubts gradually dissipated.

"Really? Congratulations."

"How about this, I'll pay for your wedding ceremony as a gift."

"Wedding congratulations, there is another tribute."

Zhuang Wei talks about love and shyness from the heart.

"I just bought the cottage yesterday. I haven't put my plan into action yet. It's too early for Tong Shaolang to speak."

Seeing that there was no pretense in his expression, words and actions, Gu Yuanqiong lowered his guard.

"I believe that Young Master Jiang has a keen eye and will not be wrong. That woman must be extremely beautiful and kind-hearted."

Zhuang Wei Tao Ran.

"I accept your good words."

Gu Yuanqiong was full of enthusiasm.

"Why don't you introduce me?"

Zhuang Wei declined.

"It was just my first time meeting her, so I'm not familiar with her."

He changed the subject and spoke from the heart.

"Also, I have to wait patiently for her to get divorced before I can propose."

Feeling every bit of truth, Gu Yuanqiong was honest.

"Oh? Young Master Jiang's hobbies are truly unique and ingenious."

"Tomorrow, I will find a divorcee and propose marriage."

Zhuang Wei looked surprised.

"I thought you would advise that remarried women should not be trusted and look down on them."

Gu Yuanqiong expressed his true feelings and spoke passionately.

"Where's the prejudice?"

"I think there is no difference between second marriage and first marriage, and they should be treated equally."

"Besides, I deeply feel that a second-married woman is considerate and attentive, and is more suitable for me."

Zhuang Wei couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Heroes see the same thing."

Gu Yuanqiong was overjoyed and ecstatic.

"It seems that you and I are really kindred spirits."

"How about becoming sworn sisters?"

"What do you think, Young Master Jiang?"

Zhuang Wei was ashamed and refused reasonably.

"How dare I hope for this? Tong Shaolang really respects me."

"How about we change our title to brothers and become close friends?"

Gu Yuanqiong agreed immediately and asked the question.

"Very good."

"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, how old are you?"

Yesterday, he asked Yu Yuluan to check Jiang Hong's background. There was nothing suspicious about his background, but there was something strange that made Gu Yuanqiong suspicious, so he asked a few questions.

Guessing that Gu Yuanqiong had found out about this secretly, Zhuang Wei remained calm and reported the age of "Jiang Hong".

"Twenty-five."

The topic came up perfectly, and he seized the opportunity.

"May I ask how old you are, Tong Shaolang?"

Being of similar age, they seemed to have similar interests. Gu Yuanqiong had a deeper thought and deliberately pretended.

"Twenty-six."

Zhuang Wei stood up and bowed.

"Brother Tongren is one year older than you, so I'm here to show my respect."

Gu Yuanqiong returned the greeting.

"I feel guilty for accepting this. Brother Jiang Ren, please stand up."

Zhuang Wei remained expressionless, and slowly returned to his seat, lost in thought.

Tong Qinglin was a man of extraordinary intelligence and talent. It was impossible to find out his true background based on just a few words from our initial acquaintance.

When competing with him in wits, you should plan for the long term and be cautious to avoid being outwitted by him.

Now is a good time to plot against Ms. Luo, or I can take this opportunity to get familiar with him slowly.

After going through things together and weathering ups and downs together for a while, he will always let down his guard and reveal his true feelings.

Zhuang Wei secretly made a plan and started thinking in an orderly manner.

"I have recently encountered a difficult problem and I am at a loss as to what to do. I would like to ask Brother Tongren for advice."

Gu Yuanqiong was full of enthusiasm.

"Tell me what you want to say. If I can help, I will do my best to help."

Zhuang Wei told the story half-truthfully, showing a hint of distress at appropriate times.

"I heard a piece of news last night."

"The two families have agreed to have lunch together at the mansion today at noon."

"I want to find out how they get along, whether the two families are harmonious, and whether the couple is loving. However, I don't know how to hide myself. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid I'll be taken as a thief and taken to Tinghetai."

"So, I was troubled all night and couldn't sleep."

Gu Yuanqiong listened carefully and responded seriously.

"Brother Jiang Ren, what you are referring to is the gathering of your beloved daughter's in-laws and her parents, right?"

"By the way, you haven't told me the name of that woman. Where is she from?"

Zhuang Wei told the truth.

"Her name is Luo Yu, she is from the southern suburbs of Shengjing, a civilian girl, she used to be a host, but now she works for Ai Ci."

Gu Yuanqiong asked.

"Who will you marry?"

When dealing with wise men, Zhuang Wei chose his words and expressions with extreme caution.

"I don't know much about it. I heard that her husband, named Yan Wu, is the son of a local official and lives in Yan Mansion, South Street, Shuying County."

"Brother Tongren, what clever plan do you have to help me sneak into the Yan Mansion?"

In order to recruit talented people, Gu Yuanqiong showed great care and concern.

"It's not difficult to hide. I'll go with you and investigate together."

Pushing, pulling and testing, Zhuang Weisheng was neither arrogant nor discouraged when defeated. His mood was always calm and his demeanor was smart and confident.

"Thank you for your help, brother."

"There is no time to lose. If you have time, shall we set off as soon as possible?"

Gu Yuanqiong agreed.

"Okay, let's go."
