Main Hall
Taking off her gorgeous and graceful red dress, Murong Yun was dressed in an exceptionally simple and elegant manner today.
There was no expression on her calm face, but her eyes were red and swollen, and no amount of accessories could hide the sorrow in her eyes.
Sitting beside her was Prime Minister Gu, Gu Wei, who was over his middle age. Even though he was middle-aged, he was still high-spirited and vigorous. If it wasn't for the fact that his son had died today and his face was full of sorrow, it was impossible to tell his age from looking at him. He was the young master of a wealthy family who was sought after by the daughters of the capital city's prestigious families.
Apart from these two people, Shen Yueji did not expect that there would be another uninvited guest.
Gu Mujue, the eldest son of the Gu family.
He was talented and skilled in martial arts. What made him popular and sought after by the daughters of the capital city's prestigious families was not his outstanding appearance, but his unparalleled talent and martial arts skills.
He truly lived up to the saying that he was a rare perfect person in the world.
With her sharp eyes, Shen Yueji saw at a glance that under his luxurious brocade robe, there was a small piece of wood carved of a small fox pinned to his waist.
It looked ugly and naive, but it was not annoying. Instead, it gave off a sense of cuteness.
He was dressed in luxurious clothes from head to toe, but this unfashionable small wood carved fox was worn on his body. To hell with it, it did not lower the man's status and outstanding appearance at all.
Shen Yueji's gaze fell on the wood carved with the small fox on his waist for a long time. A strange light flashed across her eyes, and even her hands under her long sleeves clenched slightly for a moment.
This little fox was carved by her while she was crying and holding back her tears when she was bullied in her residence. After she finished carving it, she threw it away because it looked too ugly and she had vented her emotions …
After so many years, although it was just something that she threw away casually, it was still something that she had carved herself. Every detail on it was carved with great care. Shen Yueji did not expect that Gu Mujue would actually wear it on his body.
Her gaze slowly moved from the wood carved with the small fox to the man's face.
Under the man's handsome eyes, there was a pair of eyes that were even more beautiful than the morning dew.
The moment their eyes met, the man averted his gaze. The coldness that flashed across his eyes was so fast that it was difficult to capture it.
And his hand under the wide sleeves of his robe, almost out of habit, or perhaps out of subconsciousness, was stroking the little fox carved in wood on his waist. His fair and slender fingers gently stroked it, as if it was lingering with endless longing and lingering.
Even the coldness in his eyes became much gentler when he touched the small fox carving. There was no coldness in his eyes anymore.
At this moment, Shen Yueji couldn't tell what she was feeling.
She didn't have much interaction with Gu Mujue.
As the Eldest Young Master of the Gu Residence, he had been valued by Gu Wei and Murong Yun since he was young. He had a lot of things to do and it was almost impossible for them to meet in a month. Occasionally, it would take three to four months before they could meet.
She didn't interact much with him. She just looked at him from afar and ran away.
In her impression, her eldest brother had never looked at her in the eye.
Even when she was punished by Murong Yun and was punished with a cane, he only watched from the side.
He looked at her coldly.
When she was pressed down on a chair and everyone left, he was the only one who stood at a distance and watched her being beaten. He didn't say a word and his eyes were cold as usual.
In the beginning, Shen Yueji still remembered that she had begged him.
