Chapter 141 Marrying a Homosexual
Chapter 141 Marrying a Homosexual
Jiang Zhi's expression hardened. "You know that?"
He smiled, his eyes reflecting a deep emotion.
"Then you can tell me what else I need to tell you?" Jiang Zhi asked again.
Gu Liang glanced at her. "Is there something more important?"
“The day I was kidnapped was the day I went to the White Horse Temple,” Jiang Zhi said in a deep voice. “On that day, my cousin saw the Imperial Noble Consort and the Duke of Liu having an affair, and she also heard about Gu Yuan’s background.”
Gu Liang frowned immediately.
Gu Yuan's background? This is even more interesting.
"Is Gu Yuan their child?" Gu Liang guessed.
“Your Highness,” she said, with an air of aptitude, “you are clever.”
Gu Liang scoffed, staring into her eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked.
"So, you set the fire," Gu Liang stared intently at her, "wanting them to be exposed?"
“Of course it’s not just that.” Jiang Zhi raised his head. “It’s to give them a warning, since this matter will naturally reach His Majesty’s ears.”
"Then how can I help you?" Gu Liang knew the other meaning behind her question.
"Didn't you say you were going to teach me archery?" Jiang Zhi pointed to the target. "Teach me now."
Gu Liang drew an arrow from the quiver and handed it to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi held the arrow, his gaze fixed on the bullseye on the opposite side.
Behind her, the man slowly approached, the faint scent of pine emanating from him filling her nostrils.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, and a large hand wrapped around her arm and grasped her hand.
A warm touch came, and Jiang Zhi trembled slightly. Gu Liang's breath fell on her ear, "Aim at the bullseye and draw the bow."
With a 'whoosh', it hit the bullseye.
"I won!" Jiang Zhi jumped up and down with joy.
"You're clever. This bow isn't exactly easy to use," Gu Liang praised.
This bow is not easy for ordinary women to use; without training, it is difficult to hit the bullseye on the first try.
"Does Your Highness mean that you are not as smart as me?" she asked Gu Liang, looking up at him.
The smugness in her voice was impossible to hide, and Gu Liang couldn't help but turn to look at her.
The woman tilted her head back, her eyes clear and smiling.
Gu Liang's heart stirred again.
He leaned closer to Jiang Zhi and whispered, "Mmm."
Jiang Zhi was stunned.
The teasing words I had planned to say to him came to an abrupt halt.
The man's smile was gentle, and his eyes, like the sunlight at that moment, were warm and bright.
She awkwardly lowered the bow in her hand, blinked, and murmured, "You, you, when did you leave the capital?"
Will you come with me?
This time, Jiang Zhi didn't hesitate, "Go!"
-
"Bastard thing!"
"Are you trying to drive me crazy?!" Marquis Guangde roared, his face ashen.
Pei Shangdao, who was kneeling on the ground, was accompanied by a handsome man in red.
"Please, Father and Mother, grant my request!" Pei Shangdao kowtowed three times. "Either I leave the Marquis of Guangde's residence, or he enters. You decide."
Before he could finish speaking, the Marquis of Guangde slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground with a piercing sound.
"You bastard!"
"Are you determined to do this?" Marquis Guangde gasped. "Pei Shangdao, you are now an official in the court. Aren't you afraid of being criticized by outsiders for doing such a thing?"
Pei Shangdao's expression was firm. "Don't be afraid. This is not a shameful thing, nor is it a disgrace to our family. It's just a poor couple cuddling together. Everyone should allow all things to happen."
Madam Pei stood up and walked to Pei Shangdao. "Shangdao, why do you insist on marrying a homosexual? How about your mother arranges another marriage for you?"
Pei Shangdao retorted, "You all objected to my wanting to marry Lu Nianqiu, and now you object to me bringing my beloved into the household."
"What do you want?"
Marquis Guangde trembled with rage as he looked at Pei Shangdao kneeling on the ground. He then glanced at the alluring young man beside him and ordered the guards in his residence to act.
"Guards, throw him out of the Marquis of Guangde's residence. If he dares to step into our residence, break his legs."
Several guards, having received their orders, had just approached him.
Unexpectedly, the young master burst into tears and grabbed Pei Shangdao's sleeve with a pitiful expression.
"Young Master..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shangdao immediately stood in front of him, saying, "If he is here, I am here; if he is not here, I will never live alone!"
“If Father and Mother insist on doing this, then I will leave the Guangde Marquis's residence and cease to be a member of the Guangde Marquis's family.”
Pei Shangdao looked stubborn, and Madam Pei turned to look at Marquis Guangde, "My lord."
Enraged, Marquis Guangde suddenly stood up, strode up to Pei Shangdao, and slapped him hard across the face.
There was a sound of "Snap."
Pei Shangdao was brought back to his senses by the beating.
"How long have you been of legal age? How dare you do such an absurd thing?"
"Master, what are you doing? How could you hit Shang'er?" Madam Pei ran forward with heartache and hugged him protectively.
"Shangdao, can you please stop being so willful?"
“If you want to marry Lu Nianqiu, talk to your mother, and your mother and father will discuss it and go to the Jiang family to propose marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Shangdao was secretly pleased, but quickly changed his mood.
He turned to look at the young man in red beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips, "My son will not marry anyone else; he only wants to be with him forever."
“But there has never been a case in Yanjing of a man marrying a homosexual.” Madam Pei immediately became angry.
Her gaze fell on the young man, filled with resentment.
"You're a man too, how could you not understand the impropriety of this?"
Unexpectedly, the young man in red cast a flirtatious glance at Pei Shang, saying, "You and I are mutually attracted, and there is nothing wrong with it."
The way the two of them exchanged glances was truly disgusting.
Marquis Guangde coldly watched Pei Shangdao and signaled several guards to take action.
"Drag them all out, don't let them offend your eyes in my residence."
"Master," Madam Pei paused, "Master, Shang Dao was confused for a moment. Why don't we let the two of them stay at the manor for now, and see what happens tomorrow?"
The Marquis of Guangde remained expressionless and snorted twice, "If you dare to stay in the manor for one night, do you know what kind of rumors will circulate about the Marquis of Guangde's manor tomorrow?"
"Get out of the Marquis's mansion, and we'll pretend we never raised you."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, got up from the chair, and ordered the guards to get to work.
"I don't want to say it a second time."
Watching the Marquis of Guangde leave in anger, Pei Shangdao secretly rejoiced.
He knew that the Marquis of Guangde would react this way; what he wanted was for Madam Pei to soften her heart.
He helped the young man in red to his feet.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Madam Pei, saying, "Mother, there's no need for you to send me away. I will leave on my own. I know I've always been a burden to you. I can't marry the person I like, and you don't agree to me marrying someone like her."
"From now on, I will never return to this manor. Under no circumstances should we contact each other again."
He pulled the young master along, heading straight out of the Marquis's residence.
Seeing this, Madam Pei immediately got up and chased after her.
"Prayer."
"Prayer."
