Who No Longer Wanted a Divorce?

Both families' carriages were parked at the alley entrance, so as everyone walked over, the Gu family members came out to see them off.

Unexpectedly, just as everyone was saying goodbye at the alley entrance, a stray arrow shot out from nowhere and struck the Prince's Residence's carriage.

No one was injured, but the arrow pierced deeply into the roof of the carriage.

"Protect the Prince!" The Prince of Prince of Qin's guards rushed forward and surrounded Prince of Qin.

"Protect the lady." Xu Weibei gave the order, pushing Gu Wanning behind him to the side of the Marquis's Residence's guards. He then drew his sword in front of everyone, standing guard.

Gu Wanqing spread her arms to protect Wei Shi, "Mother, please go home quickly."

Gu Wanning was almost pushed over by Xu Weibei. She managed to stand up by holding onto the wall, and then she was surrounded by a group of guards who were at least 1.8 meters tall.

The little potato says it can't see anything!

Hearing Gu Wanqing's words, she thought to herself that the mother and daughter had such a deep bond, and she really didn't feel jealous.

After all, she couldn't act like Gu Wanqing when danger struck.

However, Xu Weibei was truly a tiger.

Normally, aren't the guards always the ones charging ahead?

No wonder he was able to win battles; he was truly fearless and probably had some real skills.

"Sir, step back! You don't know kung fu, why are you moving forward!" Er Ya's anxious voice came from behind. "Quickly, step back and protect your family. The Marquis is in front, there's nothing to be afraid of."

My Marquis, you mustn't tarnish the reputation of the God of War.

This was Er Ya first time Er Ya felt that Xu Weibei was truly useful.

And who's that damned bastard who's going to shoot me in the dark?

Is it because of the Marquis?

Don't involve the Gu family, they're annoying!

The Prince of Qin, protected by the crowd, retreated back into the alley.

Looking at Gu Wanning, who was surrounded by the guards of the Marquis's Residence and could not be found, Gu Wanqing felt a strange sense of envy.

However, this feeling was fleeting.

In this situation, protecting the Prince first was also her choice.

The guards of the Marquis's Residence's mansion were all seasoned veterans. Apart from those protecting Gu Wanning, the rest followed Xu Weibei to capture people.

The others returned the news to the Gu family.

"Father--" Gu Anqi kept supporting Gu Yuanshi.

"They must be after me. The reforms have affected the interests of too many people. But I will risk my life for the country, regardless of personal gain or loss. As long as I have a breath left, I will ensure the reforms are implemented!" Gu Yuanshi said calmly and resolutely. "If your father unfortunately dies at the hands of those villains, you must carry on his legacy and continue to push for the reforms, understand? If you can't, there's still your He Ge..."

Gu Wanning didn't know what to say.

Forget it, she's not of a high enough level, I should still respect her.

About an hour later, as the sun set and the afterglow filled the courtyard, Xu Weibei finally returned.

His robe was stained with blood, he walked with a swagger, and was bathed in a radiant glow, making him appear absolutely dazzling when he entered.

Gu Wanning was somewhat stunned.

Good looks, good presence, no wonder he's like that!

Chapter 73 Who doesn't want a divorce?

"Six have been captured, two remain alive. We've handed them over to the Five City Military Command," Xu Weibei said coldly. "Let's go home."

He regretted coming today.

I was furious, and I almost got caught in the crossfire because of that Old Thief Gu.

He wasn't angry with Gu Wanning; after all, Gu Wanning annoyed him every day, and he was used to it.

He was angry at the Gu family, and at their attitude towards Gu Wanning.

He could clearly sense that the Gu family members had unconsciously developed a closer relationship with Gu Wanqing.

The others were alright, but the third brother Gu Anfang, was the most hateful.

He kept talking to Gu Wanqing, but ignored Gu Wanning, which made Xu Weibei's fists harden.

"Marquis Excellency is truly remarkable!" Gu Anfang had no idea that Xu Weibei already disliked him.

He was still thrilled by the skill Xu Weibei had demonstrated earlier.

With a "whoosh," the person vanished.

Come back, and let's settle this cleanly and efficiently.

That's truly admirable.

Xu Weibei smiled insincerely, "Sure, how about we have a friendly spar another day?"

"That would be wonderful!" Gu Anfang excitedly. "When would be a convenient day for Marquis?"

Xu Weibei was about to say, "If you want a beating, do it now," when Gu Anqi scolded, "Little San, come back! It's getting late; the Prince and the Marquis should be heading back."

Gu Anfang reluctantly stepped back, but his eyes kept glancing at Xu Weibei, winking and making faces.

Xu Weibei: Ha, you idiot, I'll get you a beating sooner or later.

On the way back, Xu Weibei and Gu Wanning rode in a carriage together, while Er Ya sat outside with the driver.

She rarely praised Xu Weibei: "My Marquis, you were truly valiant today."

Xu Weibei dismissed it with disdain.

He didn't care about her praise.

"What's wrong with the Prince?" Er Ya pouted again. "At this crucial moment, he only cares about himself and doesn't care about the young lady at all. Compared to the Marquis, he's far inferior."

"Alright, what's it to you?" Gu Wanning said.

The story of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai is a classic example of mutual consent; one party is willing to hit and the other is willing to be

However, she truly didn't find that kind of man appealing.

Whether Xu Weibei was good or bad, he was at least a man.

Xu Weibei was displeased. What, she couldn't stand it when he praised himself?

You heartless bastard!

"What did your father say to you? And he's keeping it from me," he asked, displeased.

That Old Thief Gu is treacherous.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything bad about you, just about our divorce. Not only is the Marquis working on it, but my family is too."

For some inexplicable reason, Xu Weibei's heart sank.

"They treat you coldly, yet you still try to be friendly; I treat you better than they do, yet you're always thinking about divorce, you don't appreciate it at all."

Gu Wanning:???

"My Marquis, you have indeed treated me well, but you don't want a divorce?"
