Chapter 1526: Forced Marriage (4)
Meng Suyan shook her head. "He was once a well-known gifted scholar in town, a very handsome man. I, too, feel that I am stupid."
Gu Xijiu patted her shoulder gently. "You were young. It is not uncommon for youths to fall for scumbags. Luckily you are not married, so you can still break away from the relationship anytime. Although there are scumbags everywhere, good men still exist, just like my brother."
Meng Suyan looked down and disagreed. "Brother Luo is a good man, but... Xijiu, I do not want to talk about the relationship anymore."
Gu Xijiu understood. Meng Suyan had been in love with the same man for so many years. Even though it did not end well, she could not possibly let it go so quickly, as though nothing had ever happened. She needed time to heal.
Meng Suyan was, after all, a big-hearted woman. The conversation was able to alleviate her pain. She put behind her own concern and asked Gu Xijiu in return, "Xijiu, when are you and Celestial Master Zuo going to be married? I am still waiting to celebrate your marriage."
Gu Xijiu laughed out loud. "There are many things to be done, so he is very occupied. It is just a process, so there is no rush. I will inform everyone when the date is set."
They continued drinking for a while. Feeling a little tipsy, Gu Xijiu decided to leave. Almost drunk, she wanted to teleport her way back to the generalβs residence, but she ended up at the bank of a stream instead. She almost fell into the water!
She stood herself still and looked around. The place seemed a little familiar. After some thought, she recalled an incident that happened not long after she traveled through time to be here, where a stranger, who claimed to have hostilities between them, took her liberties and lifted her clothes. She was unfortunately exposed to the soldiers who were nearby.
