Chapter 425: Mr. Gu, can you give up?
Chu Ziyu gathered the wet hair in front of his eyes to the top of his head and behind his ears, revealing his forehead and eyebrows. There were still water droplets on his eyelashes. The water on his hair slid down his forehead, across his straight nose, and then dripped onto his chin.
The water in his eyes became even redder because of the water. The water that the housekeeper fetched was actually from the water tank in the yard. The water had been stored there for many days and was originally reserved for firefighting.
And according to convention, it is only changed once a month, so the water quality is not particularly clean, and there are even some broken leaves and some dust particles mixed in it.
Chu Ziyu felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as if countless grains of sand were constantly rubbing against his eyes. Now, there was no need to act anymore, tears flowed down like a flood that broke through the dam, completely uncontrollably.
There were still several broken leaves stuck to it, making it look rather miserable. To make matters worse, the wheelchair under him suddenly turned into a fishtail because of his legs.
The body's center of gravity changed dramatically in an instant, causing the entire wheelchair to lose balance and suddenly flip to one side.
The water caught by the clavicle fell to the ground, splashing tiny water droplets.
Qin Ci'an didn't have time to question Gu's father, and hurried over to help Chu Ziyu up, but was held down tightly by the servants who came in, and tied up. Cotton cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and at Gu's father's signal, he was thrown behind the screen.
"Gu Zheng, don't reveal your preferences before you are fully grown. This is the first lesson your father taught you. Since you want to watch him being sent away, then watch."
Father Gu's voice came through the screen. Qin Ci'an was filled with anger but unable to vent it. Blood oozed from his wrists that were tied by the hemp rope.
At this time, the noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the footsteps were getting closer.
There was a knock on the door. "Master, the distinguished guests have arrived."
It was the servant he sent to lead the way.
The housekeeper pushed the overturned wheelchair to the corner and opened the door.
Father Gu stepped forward and pretended not to know the Second Prince. After all, the other party came in disguise and did not want to be involved. It was better to have less trouble than more. "I greet the prince."
Li Yuanxing followed closely behind Chan Changlin. When he saw Chu Ziyu's embarrassed look, he met his gaze and was obviously stunned for a moment. She was so beautiful.
Chan Changlin looked at the obsession flashing in Li Yuanxing's eyes and understood his thoughts.
Chan Changlin looked at Gu's father, "What's going on?" Gu's father hurriedly explained that a servant in the house had made a mistake and was being punished.
Li Yuanxing chuckled, walked towards Chu Ziyu, squatted down and gently removed the broken leaves from his eyelashes, "It's not appropriate to treat such a beautiful woman like this."
As he spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept towards the screen. Gu Ci'an, who came in right after him, stood aside with an indifferent look on his face, seemingly not caring about anything, but in fact, he had cursed Gu Zheng hundreds of times in his heart.
"Something that is not enough to accomplish anything, but is more likely to cause trouble."
Qin Ci'an was extremely anxious behind the screen, and his wounds became deeper as he struggled.
Chu Ziyu looked up at Li Yuanxing, with a look of vigilance in his eyes. Li Yuanxing then stood up and returned to Chan Changlin's back. Chan Changlin saw this and said to Gu's father, "I like this boy very much. Can Master Gu give him up and let him go back with me?"
"It's a blessing for him to be able to go back with you."
The news that the prince was going to take the mermaid from the Gu Mansion spread throughout the mansion in less than half a cup of tea.
Gu Weizhi heard the servants gossiping, "I heard that the mermaid was very beautiful, and the prince saw her once and is leaving."
The cup in his hand crackled and turned into powder.
