He strode after Zhao Jing, leaving Du Yanyan alone with a red face.
"You, Guo Zhao! You don't know what is good or bad. I, the legitimate daughter of a dignified third-grade general, can marry you, a widower, and you dare to refuse!"
She became so angry that she waved the whip in her hand and was about to take action.
Shen Yingxue squeezed to the front and saw this scene.
Guo Zhao had already turned around, and the whip was aimed at his neck. The whip was carrying the wind, and he used a lot of force at a glance. If he hit his neck, he would definitely be injured.
She exclaimed anxiously, "No!"
However, no matter how fast the whip is, it cannot be faster than Guo Zhao. He has been on the battlefield for the past two years and has experienced the edge of death every day. He has already developed his sensitivity to deal with danger.
Guo Zhao stretched out his hand to hold the whip, but Du Yanyan was out of strength and almost got dragged. She could only let go, leaving a red mark on her palm.
She stamped her feet with anger on her face.
"Guo Zhao, you will regret it!"
She had already heard the ridicule of those noble ladies. Du Yanyan was really embarrassed this time.
Guo Zhao naturally ignored her. He heard a familiar voice just now. He looked up and saw Shen Yingxue who had been pushed to the front.
I saw a smile suddenly blooming on the cold-faced man's face, like ice and snow melting, making Du Yanyan, who was still angry, couldn't help but blink.
"It's still too late for you to regret and apologize to me now..."
Darling, why does this martial artist look better than the scholar? He should smile more.
Her nymphomaniac look made Du Yuancheng want to seize the city and get in. He took a look at the emperor's stern expression, as well as Shen Shangshu who was beside the emperor, and felt that it would be better for him to retire and return home.
"Yanyan, General Guo needs a rest after a tiring battle, don't make trouble here!"
He made a look and asked Du Yanyan's maid to take her away, and apologized to Guo Zhao with a smile.
"My little girl is young and has a playful temperament. She just admires General Guo and does not mean any offense."
He naturally hopes that Du Yanyan can marry Guo Zhao, but the Du family still can't compare with the Shen family. The Shen family not only has Shen Yanqing, a second-rank minister, but also Princess Rongning, the goddess of Yan. Being famous in the capital is not something they can mess with.
In the past, it was okay to be pretty and pretty, but this time she almost angered the Shen family. Du Yuancheng secretly thought that he would have to ask his grandma to teach her the rules this time when he went back.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get married with this kind of temperament.
Which aristocratic family would be willing to have a daughter-in-law like this?
Du Yanyan was still afraid of her father, and the emperor was here, so even if she had a little temper, she didn't dare to show it, so she watched Guo Zhao striding towards the young lady in the crowd with a smile on his face.
Shen Yingxue's eyes widened slightly, and she didn't know where to move her hands and feet, just watching him coming.
On the other hand, Qin Yanjun next to him was very indifferent, standing on tiptoes, waving his handkerchief, and kept shouting.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, here..."
The soon-to-be brother-in-law glanced at her, but he couldn't remember who this lively little lady was.
Shen Yingxue blushed when she shouted, but seeing the confusion in Guo Zhao's eyes, she still explained to her.
"This is from Dalang's family."
Is Shen Anyian already engaged?
Guo Zhao felt a little sad, it seemed that he had been away for too long.
However, this prospective nephew-in-law was very discerning. Guo Zhao showed admiration and took out a bead from his arms and threw it to Qin Yanjun.
"Let's play with it."
He gave the luminous pearl as big as an egg as soon as he said it, and there was a gasp from the crowd.
This General Guo is really generous with his actions, and the young ladies look at him even more eagerly.
Qin Yanjun hurriedly took it. The Qin family was a merchant, and she had seen a lot of good things since she was a child, but this was the first time she had seen such a perfect night pearl.
Qin Yanjun smiled broadly, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescents, and he looked very pleasant.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Well, Dalang's family is pretty good."
The cold man praised Shen Yingxue, making Shen Yingxue blush with embarrassment.
Even after being apart for so long, she could still feel his pleasure, and all the nervousness and awkwardness she felt before they met was gone.
Guo Zhao has never changed.
The two seemed to have their own barrier, and no one else could get in. Such a sweet atmosphere made the little ladies jealous.
Guo Zhao was brave and handsome, and the young ladies were reluctant to let him slip away from their eyes. Some of the brave ones even asked the maids at home to come forward and talk to him.
"General Guo, my wife is the third wife of the Duke of Xunguo. She admires the general very much. This is the purse embroidered by my wife. Please accept it..."
There were many people like this maid, a group of young ladies covering their faces with handkerchiefs, all eagerly watching Guo Zhao's next move.
Will he take their money?
Even though Mrs. Shen is very good-looking, she is still married to Li Hou and is not suitable for marrying General Guo.
However, Guo Zhao refused. He held Shen Yingxue's hand and brought her to his side. He glanced around with cold eyes and his voice was coercive and solemn.
"Guo will only have one wife in this life, and that is Yingxue!"
This was a declaration of sovereignty in person. Shen Yingxue looked at the majestic man beside her, her heart was beating fast, her lowered eyebrows were curved, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Everyone was rejected by Guo Zhao. Although they felt disappointed, they were not upset. The marriage between the Guo family and the Shen family had already spread throughout the capital. They were just unwilling to give in and wanted to try again.
Now that I have tried it and know that there is no chance, I no longer think about it.
Just mentioning Guo Zhao's rapid promotion, everyone had a lot to say.
"Isn't that because there is Princess Rongning's gunpowder bag? If he hadn't been engaged to Mrs. Shen, Princess Rongning would have given the gunpowder bag to him?"
Looking at it this way, Guo Zhao was able to take the position of second-grade general only because Princess Rongning paved the way.
"That means General Guo is lucky enough to marry a daughter of the Shen family."
"Does the Shen family have any other husbands of suitable daughters? Can we be an in-law?"
Everyone's thoughts were spinning so fast that they went astray in an instant.
But it's not surprising that they think so. After all, everyone can see that the Shen family, under the control of Shen Yanqing and Princess Rongning, has a vague tendency to become the first aristocratic family in the capital.
If they could make friends earlier, they might be able to take advantage of it and reap some benefits.
"Let's go home."
Jiang Miao didn't know that because of Guo Zhao, the daughter of the Shen family had become a favorite of hundreds of families, and even Shen Erlang, who had just turned fifteen, had become a favorite in the eyes of aristocratic families.
There are even people who are thinking about the two children in Jiang Miao's belly and want to marry them.
