78 Fighting for a Wife

“Cuckoo,” the pure white pigeon purred docilely. As it flapped its wings, it looked warily at the calico cat not far away.

Qing Guang licked its claws with disdain.

“How obedient!” Gu Yanfei rewarded the white pigeon with a few pieces of bird food and stroked it. Then, she picked it up with both hands and said with a smile, “Let’s go back to your master.”

Chu Yi’s white clothes could not help but appear in her mind. The smile on her face was even brighter and more beautiful than the rising sun outside the window.

It was pleasant to work with smart people!

After she threw the pigeon out of the window with both hands, it flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

Gu Yanfei looked at the white pigeon soaring in the blue sky from afar. Her raised chin made her neck look as slender as a swan.

“My Lady,” Juan Bi’s lively voice came from behind, accompanied by the sound of the curtain being lifted. “The Imperial Clan Court is here to propose marriage on behalf of His Highness Kang w.a.n.g.”

The Imperial Clan Court was here to propose marriage to Gu Yunrong on behalf of Kang w.a.n.g.

Gu Yanfei said calmly, “I understand.”

As the cold wind moaned, she withdrew her gaze from the distance and sat down at the messy table. In the middle was a palm-sized piece of wood surrounded by debris and sawdust.

Gu Yanfei rubbed her fingers gently on the wood.

This was a piece of gloomy golden-threaded cedar she had accidentally obtained a few days ago. It was good material for making the Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s.

For the past few days, she had not left her house because she was focused on making the compa.s.s.

The smaller the compa.s.s, the more detailed it was. After three days and three nights of careful polishing, she had only completed 80 to 90% of it.

Gu Yanfei gently stroked the sawdust on the compa.s.s. Her movements were gentle, as if she was touching a rare treasure.

She casually dialed the magnetic needle in the center, which spun gently twice before stopping.

Gu Yanfei smiled and said meaningfully, “Oh, it’s a b.l.o.o.d.y calamity.”

“Meow, meow, meow!” The cat came over obsequiously and circled her chair, rubbing its head affectionately against the folds of her skirt.

Gu Yanfei glanced at it. Even if she did not know cat language, she understood its meaning.

This cat just wanted to watch the show.

“Go ahead.” Gu Yanfei waved her hand perfunctorily and focused all her attention into the compa.s.s with all her heart.

The cat scampered off happily.

It had only lived in the Marquis Mansion for less than two months, but it was even more familiar with this place than Gu Yanfei. It even knew where the dog and rat holes were.

Gu Yanfei had been grounded for the past few days, but no one could control the cat. It still wandered around the residence and could not even be bothered to hide its whereabouts.

The closer they got to the main hall, the livelier the surroundings became. From time to time, servants would walk past and talk about the marriage proposal from the Imperial Clan Court. Occasionally, words like “Kang w.a.n.g”, “The Imperial Clan Court”, “Marriage Proposal”, and so on floated over.

The kitten walked all the way to the Hall for Cultivating Virtues at the front of the inner courtyard.

Today, Prince Li had brought the marriage decree from Empress Dowager Yuan to represent the Imperial Clan Court to propose marriage, which could be regarded as giving the Gu family enough face.

Kang w.a.n.g and Chu You followed in high spirits because they wanted to see Gu Yunrong.

Although Gu Jian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, had a leg injury, he still supported himself with his walking stick and personally welcomed the esteemed guest into the Hall for Cultivating Virtues.

Qing Guang chose the best-looking plum among the bunch of red plums and squatted in the most suitable position to watch the show. It happened to be able to see everything in the Hall for Cultivating Virtues through the open window.

Prince Li exchanged a few pleasantries with the Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Jian, before waving at the middle-aged eunuch accompanying him. The fair-faced and beardless middle-aged eunuch walked over with a red lacquered wooden tray with a red gold-sprinkled invitation.

“Marquis, this is the letter of appointment I drafted. Please take a look,” Prince Li said with a smile.

Looking at the bright and dazzling red betrothal letter, Gu Jian was overjoyed and his eyes bright.

Ever since the British Monarchy impeached Kang w.a.n.g for stealing Crown Prince Fang’s wife, Gu Jian had thought that Gu Yunrong and Kang w.a.n.g’s marriage would probably be difficult, but he did not expect things to turn around in the end.

Chu You’s eyes were the hottest and most straightforward. His burning gaze landed on Gu Yunrong.

Gu Yunrong met his focused gaze in midair, and the dimples on her lips seemed to hold honey. Without a need to say anything, she understood his intentions, and he understood hers.

Outside the window, the kitten yawned lazily and found it extremely boring. It reached out a paw to pull at the red plums on the branches. Buzz, buzz…

A few red plum petals fell and were blown into the main hall by the wind, landing on the betrothal letter.
