My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Chapter 163 Are you marrying me just to fulfill General Gu’s last wish?

Although Ji Ruyun was not favored, she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family after all. Her status was there, so if she was betrothed to the eldest son of the Qiu family as his wife, it would be barely enough.

In addition, Zhang and Qiuyao also quickly received the news and rushed over.

After learning that Ji Ruyun was very fond of her eldest brother, Qiuyao immediately showed great friendliness to Ji Ruyun, saying that she hoped to find a sister-in-law as beautiful and gentle as Miss Ji. She also spoke highly of Ji Ruyun in both open and covert ways.

Zhang had originally intended to find a wife for Qiu Shaoheng. Now that she saw him having contact with a girl in public, she felt that if she didn't marry her, it might affect his future career.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang and Qiu Xiang took the initiative to express their willingness to marry the daughter of the Ji family.

The matter was settled in front of Ji Bohou and his wife.

It is said that Lady Ji Bohou was very unhappy. She did not want to give such a good marriage to Ji Ruyun at all. She wanted to let her own daughter marry in place of Ji Ruyun. Later, no one knew what method Ji Ruyun used to make Qiu Shaoheng specifically tell the Ji family that he was only willing to marry Ji Ruyun.

After hearing the whole story, Qiu Ning's eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

She never expected that Qiuyao not only plotted against her at the banquet, but also did not let her elder brother go.

During this banquet, he actually got a sister-in-law, who was related to Qiuyao.

Qiu Ning's first instinct was that Ji Ruyun, like Wan Zilang had said, was no pushover. She must have ulterior motives towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Finally, Qiu Ning sent Wan Zilang and the others away with a heavy heart and came to the box where Gu Li was waiting.

At this time, all the dishes were served, and they were all Qiu Ning's favorite dishes.

Gu Li had privately asked Zhang about Qiu Ning's taste a long time ago and secretly kept it in mind.

But Qiu Ning had no appetite in front of the delicious food on the table. She was always thinking about her elder brother.

She had a premonition that if her elder brother really married the daughter of the Ji Bohou Mansion, there would be unrest at home.

Gu Li put some food on Qiu Ning's plate again. Seeing that she didn't move, she put down her chopsticks and asked:

"You seem distracted, but what difficulties have you encountered?"

Qiu Ning looked up and met his concerned gaze, feeling a little guilty for a moment.

Ever since he saved me at the banquet, I haven't had time to thank him properly?

After thinking for a while, Qiu Ning took the initiative to pick up the wine glass beside him and said to Gu Li:

"Uncle Gu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Thank you for what you did at the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have..."

Thinking of this, Qiu Ning still feels a lingering fear.

If Gu Li had not broken in through the window at the critical moment, struck Wu Dacheng with a palm, knocking him unconscious, and then ordered Leng Qi to abduct Xiang He and pretend that the two of them were fooling around, it would probably not have been so easy to escape.

After all, Wu Dacheng was still holding her handkerchief in his hand. If he really started to complain, Qiu Ning's reputation would be affected to some extent.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ning picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

Seeing her like this, Gu Li felt a little distressed and said, "There's no need to be polite between you and me."

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes darkened. "If you really want to thank me, you know what I want."

Qiu Ning didn't expect him to say this, and his face turned red for a moment.

Previously, Gu Li had been urging Qiu Ning to agree to their marriage, but Qiu Ning always felt that the time was not right and was unwilling to agree.

But now, she suddenly felt shaken.

If Gu Li really becomes my husband for the rest of my life, it sounds like a pretty good idea.

After all, no one can predict which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. All we can say is that we did not waste our time in the best years of our lives, and that is enough.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Ning seemed to be half drunk, holding his chin with both hands, looking at Gu Li with a pair of misty eyes, and asked:

"Uncle Gu, did you choose to marry me just to fulfill General Gu's last words?"

"Do you... do you like me a little bit, um? Or should I say... have a good impression of me?"

If it were the usual Qiu Ning, he would never ask such a question to her face, but what he just drank was a strong girl's red wine, the signature drink of this restaurant. People with poor alcohol tolerance would usually fall down after drinking one glass.

Obviously, Qiu Ning was one of those people who couldn't drink much.

Gu Li paused while picking up the food and looked up.

The little girl was obviously a little drunk and started talking nonsense.

He stood up, walked to Qiu Ning, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"You are really drunk. Come on, I'll take you back."

However, a drunk person would never admit that he was drunk, especially a girl like Qiu Ning, who had a stubborn personality.

"No, how could that be possible? I just drank one glass of wine, how could I be drunk?"

"Uncle Gu, you haven't answered me yet. Tell me quickly, is this to fulfill the old general's last wish, or are you interested in me as well?"

Seeing that the other party would not give up until he got an answer, Gu Li felt a little overwhelmed. He patiently coaxed her softly:

"I'll tell you the answer later. Let's go."

After saying that, Gu Li stretched out her hand, wanting to pick the person up, but Qiu Ning just confronted her and refused to give up until she got the answer.

"Uncle Gu, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will..."

When Gu Li heard this, her eyes narrowed dangerously, "What about you?"

"so I……"

Qiu Ning's eyes rolled around as he quickly thought of his words.

At this moment, she reached out and suddenly touched something in her arms. It was a heart-shaped buckle that Gu Li had given her to please her. It was made of warm jade and was very valuable.

At this time, Qiu Ning suddenly thought of a plan.

She reached out and took out the heart-shaped ring from her arms, held it high in her hand, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, saying:

"It's nothing. I just exchanged all the things Uncle Gu gave me for silver. Then I told everyone that you are unfaithful, heartless, and unloyal. You used sweet words to deceive women's hearts. Let everyone see your true face."

Gu Li's hand, which was about to be extended, suddenly stopped and looked at Qiu Ning, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Qiu Ning thought the other party felt threatened by him, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. "Of course I am sure. If not, I will beg my father to hold a marriage competition for me and let all the men in the capital come to take the exam. I think it won't be difficult to choose a suitable husband... Woo..."

Before Qiu Ning could finish her next sentence, her lips were sealed.

What followed was the man's domineering and powerful kiss, which continued to take advantage of her, making her completely unable to resist.

"Woo...Gu..."

Gu Li kissed her particularly hard, as if he wanted to punish her. Qiu Ning felt that all the air in her chest had been taken away, giving way to her desire.

Gradually, Qiu Ning's body softened, and Gu Li's movements became soft and slow, and he carefully deepened the kiss.

……

Qiu Ning had no idea when he fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already early the next morning. The morning sunlight shone into her boudoir through the window frame, and everything seemed so quiet and beautiful.

There were a few magpies chirping non-stop in the yard.

She slowly sat up and rubbed her swollen head. At this time, Yueya came in from outside carrying a washbasin.

Seeing Qiu Ning sitting up, Yueya stepped forward with a smile and said:

"Miss, you're finally up. A matchmaker has come to the mansion today to propose a marriage for the eldest son. You should go and take a look!"
