The people of the imperial court were used to playing by the rules. Previously, they thought that the Su family was going to be finished, so they all avoided it. Now that they saw that the Su family had the Sacred Heart, they all came forward one by one.
These few days, Su Yan had received a large stack of invitations, but she did not bother with them. Later, those people all came to her house to stop her.
When she heard that the person who came was Gu Lingyu, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. This Gu Lingyu did not come early or late, so why did he come now.
Su Yan was a little curious. After all, Gu Lingyu had never looked for her before.
“May I know why Young Master Gu is looking for me?”
As soon as Su Yan opened her mouth, Gu Lingyu felt that something was not right.. After all, Su Yan had always called him brother Lingyu.
“Su Yan, why are you so distant today?”
As soon as Gu Lingyu opened his mouth, Su Yan was shocked. Why did she feel that this Gu Lingyu did not have good intentions.
“Why are you looking for me?” Su Yan raised her guard.
“I came to return this. When the Gu family sent people over, I did not know. If I knew, I would not have let them do that.” Gu Lingyu took out their engagement token and placed it on the table.
Gu Lingyu’s face was filled with reluctance, and his words were even more affectionate.
Su Yan only felt that his acting made her nauseous. However, before she figured out his purpose, Su Yan still had to play along with him.
“Brother Lingyu, Su Yan feels that our relationship isn’t too good right now. After all, I’m already engaged to King Guangping.”
“I know. I can’t help you defy the imperial edict, but…” Gu Lingyu’s handsome face showed a hint of hesitation. He looked at Su Yan hesitantly, waiting to ask.
Su Yan acted as if she didn’t see it. She stared at Gu Lingyu innocently, as if she was telling him not to say anything if he was in a difficult situation.
Gu Lingyu knew that Su Yan was stupid. He didn’t expect her to be so stupid. He was already so obvious. Why didn’t she ask him.
Gu Lingyu waited for a long time but couldn’t wait for Su Yan to ask. He could only ask her himself.
“After you marry the King of Guangping, if he treats you badly or is unhappy, you can come to me. I will help you.”
Su Yan looked at Gu Lingyu quietly and did not say anything.
Gu Lingyu’s hair stood on end when he saw her. What was wrong with Su Yan today? If he did not want her to be his pawn in the Guangping royal mansion, he would not have come to find her.
After all, it was too difficult to insert someone into the King of Guangping’s residence. He didn’t know how his uncle managed to do it, but the King of Guangping’s estate was simply an iron bucket.
This time, Su Yan’s marriage to the King of Guangping was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Gu Lingyu, who is the King of Guangping? Who are you?” Su Yan swallowed the ‘who are you?’ that she almost blurted out and continued, “What right do you have to think that you can stand up for me after I’ve been wronged?”
At this moment, Su Yan already knew what Gu Lingyu was thinking. He had always wanted to inherit the military power of the king of Guangping. He wanted her to be his spy.
How did he get such a thick face?
Su Yan’s words made Gu Lingyu stiffen. What followed was shame and anger. He knew that Su Yan was telling the truth. However, Gu Lingyu could not accept it even more when it was said by someone else, especially Su Yan, who was always flattering him.
“Su Yan, are you still blaming me for breaking off the engagement with you? I had no choice.” Gu Lingyu still suppressed his anger and looked at Su Li gently, tolerating her willfulness.
“Gu Lingyu, I have nothing to do with you anymore. I am already the King of Guangping’s fiancée.”
Su Yan wanted to know how shameless Gu Lingyu could be, so she suddenly changed her face and wept at Gu Lingyu with grief and pain.
