"Young Master Jiang is here to welcome you, but you are welcome from afar."
Gu Mingyuan took the initiative to greet him and extended his hand to Jiang Che. His attitude was polite but not overly flattering.
"Uncle Gu is so polite."
Jiang Che shook hands with him briefly, and his eyes immediately fell on Gu Qingshang.
The two had met at the engagement party of Liu Ruyan and Bai Ye, and they were no strangers to each other's identities.
It's just that there wasn't much communication at that time, and the relationship was still just an acquaintance.
"Young Master Jiang, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Gu Qingshang had a polite smile on her beautiful face, and her cold tone was a bit softer than when she faced other men.
"Thanks to Miss Gu, everything is fine."
Jiang Che responded calmly, neither deliberately appearing too close nor treating her like a stranger whom she met for the first time.
Gu Qingshang nodded slightly, and his eyes quickly turned to Ruan Mianmian, a look of expectation appearing in his eyes.
"Mianmian, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
"Sister Gu, there is no need to be polite to me~"
Ruan Mianmian put away the sweet smile on his face and quickly became focused.
"What's going on with Grandpa Gu now?"
"Are you still conscious?"
When he mentioned his grandfather's condition, Gu Qingshang's cold face suddenly showed a trace of worry that was difficult to conceal.
"Grandpa fell into a coma half an hour ago. His breathing and heart rate are not stable. The medical team is afraid to continue taking medication for the time being."
"A few hours ago, he briefly woke up once, but without saying a few words, he fell asleep again."
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian frowned slightly and began to judge the basic condition based on this information.
"Take me to see it first."
"Okay."
At the same time.
Gu Family Manor Outside the gate.
A taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Lu Han After paying the fare, he walked straight to the entrance of the manor carrying an old medicine box on his back.
The guards at the door saw that he was wearing shabby clothes and immediately stopped him with their hands.
"Stop!"
"This is a private estate, you can't enter without an invitation!"
Lu Han stopped and his attitude was quite polite.
"I'm here to treat Gu Old Master."
"Please go in and let me know. Bian Que Sect Lu Han will come to keep your appointment."
Several guards looked at each other, obviously they had never heard of this name.
One of them looked Lu Han up and down, and when he saw that he couldn't find anything valuable, he suddenly gave a sarcastic sneer.
"There are so many people who want to treat Old Master these days. Just make up a sect name and want to sneak into our Gu Family?"
Lu Han frowned slightly, but did not attack immediately.
"You just need to go in and inform me. The elders of the Gu Family will naturally know my identity."
"Gu Family's elders are also the ones you can see whenever you want?"
The other guard sneered and pointed to the road in the distance.
"Go back to where you came from. Don't think you can pretend to be a miracle doctor just by carrying a broken medicine box!"
Hearing this, Lu Han's eyes gradually turned cold.
He reached into his arms and took out a well-preserved yellowed marriage letter.
"I'm not only here to treat Gu Old Master, but I'm also here to fulfill my engagement."
"This marriage letter was written by the Gu Family Old Master back then. Give it to your master, and he will naturally let me in!"
After seeing the contents of the marriage contract clearly, the guards were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter!
"Just you?"
"How dare you say that you are a eldest lady, Fiancé, even if you don't take a pee to show yourself?"
"You're a country bumpkin who ran away from somewhere and forged a piece of paper just to marry our Miss Gu Family. Why don't you say you are Miss Qin Family?"
One of them laughed so hard that he even stretched out his hand to snatch the marriage certificate from Lu Han's hand.
Lu Han turned sideways to avoid his palm, and his tone had completely cooled down.
"I say it one last time, go in and report!"
"How dare you show off to me?"
The smile on the guard's face instantly faded, and he raised his hand and pushed Lu Han hard on the shoulder.
But before his palm touched the corner of Lu Han's clothes, his wrist was firmly held by Lu Han's big hand.
Lu Han didn't use much strength at all, he just flicked it to the side.
The burly guard flew out like a kite with its string broken!
Bang!
The guard fell heavily to the ground, covered his wrist and let out a shrill scream.
When the other people saw this scene, their expressions suddenly changed.
Without any hesitation, they immediately pounced on Lu Han from different directions.
It's a pity that they didn't even touch the corners of Lu Han's clothes, and in just a few breaths, they were all lying on the ground in a mess.
Lu Han put the medicine box on his back again, lowered his head and straightened his slightly messy sleeves, his face still looked calm and calm.
"Now, can you go in and report?"
Several guards fell to the ground in pain, looking at him with eyes full of fear, but where was the slightest hint of contempt?
One of them managed to get up from the ground, clutching his chest, and crawling to the inside of the manor to report the news.
Within the Main Hall.
Gu Qingshang was just about to take Ruan Mianmian to the backyard when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the steward of the manor walked in quickly with an ugly face, and a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
See this scene.
Gu Mingyuan frowned suddenly and spoke in a deep voice.
"What happened?"
"Master, there is a young man coming outside..."
Guan glanced at Gu Qingshang carefully beforehand, and seemed a little unsure whether he should say his next words in public.
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Gu Mingyuan's tone was a bit colder, and he was a little dissatisfied with his hesitation.
The manager didn't dare to hesitate any longer and had no choice but to bite the bullet and report.
"That man was dressed like a savage from the mountains, carrying an old medicine box on his back. He said that he was the descendant of the Bian Que Sect, and he came here specially to treat Old Master."
Hearing the three words "Bian Que Sect", Gu Mingyuan's face quietly changed.
Gu Qingshang did not notice anything strange about his father, and just thought that he was another charlatan who heard that his grandfather was seriously ill and wanted to come over to try his luck.
"Have you confirmed your identity?"
"There is no invitation or other identification."
The steward paused for a moment, and the expression on his face became increasingly strange.
"But... he also holds a marriage letter in his hand, claiming to be your Fiancé, the eldest lady!"
As soon as these words came out, Main Hall, who was still chatting with each other, suddenly fell silent...
The eyes of everyone present fell on Gu Qingshang almost simultaneously, and the expressions on their faces became very exciting.
Liu Ruyan, who was standing aside, was also stunned for a few seconds, and then looked up and down at Gu Qingshang with strange eyes.
She has known Gu Qingshang for so many years, but she has never heard of Fiancé.
I never expected that Gu Qingshang, the so-called Fiancé, would actually come to our door in such an outrageous way...
Ruan Mianmian blinked his big, watery eyes, and the professionalism and seriousness on his face were also replaced by deep curiosity.
"Sister Gu, when did you have Fiancé?"
Hearing Ruan Mianmian's inquiry, Gu Qingshang finally recovered from his shock. The beautiful face that was originally calm had completely turned cold at this time.
"I don't have Fiancé!"
"But that person outside has a marriage certificate..."
Ruan Mianmian didn't notice the chill in her tone at all. Instead, he tilted his little head and began to analyze seriously.
"Is it because you were too young when you got engaged, so you forgot about it?"
Gu Qingshang took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and did not argue with this little girl with a strange brain circuit.
She turned to look at Gu Mingyuan, only to find that there was not much anger on her father's face, but rather a bit of surprise.
"Father, what on earth is going on?"
Gu Mingyuan did not immediately answer her daughter's question, but looked at the steward in front of her again.
"Where are people now?"
"Still at the gate of the manor."
When the steward thought about the news that had just been delivered by the guards, he felt a little embarrassed on his face.
"The guard at the door didn't believe that the marriage letter was genuine. He mocked him as a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and was ready to drive him away..."
"Then what?"
"That person took action directly!"
The steward swallowed and his voice became a little lower.
"The guards outside have all been defeated by him!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingshang's beautiful face turned completely dark.
When did I get a savage Fiancé who ran out of the mountains?
He even held an inexplicable marriage letter, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Gu Family, his own guard was injured!
No matter whether this engagement is true or not, she cannot just accept a strange man she has never met!
"Kick him out!"
Gu Qingshang without any hesitation, immediately issued the order in a cold voice.
"Wait."
Gu Mingyuan suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his daughter's words.
Hearing his father's obstruction, Gu Qingshang turned his head in disbelief, and a very bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Father, that marriage letter... can't be true, right?"
Gu Mingyuan was silent for a moment, without explaining the reason in public, but just gave instructions to the steward.
"Bring people in."
"Yes!"
The steward felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly turned around and left Main Hall.
Gu Qingshang Seeing his father's obviously informed reaction, the last trace of luck in his heart was completely shattered, and that cold and pretty face became increasingly difficult to look at.
"Father, what on earth is going on?"
"When people come in, you will naturally understand."
Gu Mingyuan sighed softly and was not prepared to explain this old matter in front of outsiders before Lu Han appeared.
Gu Qingshang was extremely angry, but considering the many guests present, he finally endured it and did not argue with his father in public.
After listening to the conversation between father and daughter.
Liu Ruyan's eyes have changed from the initial surprise to unabashed weirdness and teasing.
Looking at the whole Imperial Capital, I don't know how many wealthy young men are pursuing Gu Qingshang, but she never makes excuses for any man.
Who would have thought that this high-altitude flower, which is kept away from strangers, would have been arranged by the elders of the family for a long time?
And it seems that the man is still a country bumpkin who just emerged from the mountains and forests!
How outrageous!
Ruan Mianmian quietly approached Gu Qingshang, lowering his voice with a face full of gossip.
"Sister Gu, have you really never seen him once?"
Gu Qingshang glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
No matter who the man outside is, or whether the marriage document was written by her grandfather, there is no way she would recognize this so-called Fiancé!
She Gu Qingshang has never been weaker than anyone else in her life, and she will not be bound by a mere marriage letter!
