Chapter 35: Losing Face
Here, everything Gu Yeming took away from the palace is clearly recorded.
Among them was something he asked for directly from Huo Tang.
There were also things he took from the drug store owned by the palace in the name of Huo Huotang's fiancé.
What was taken? I remember clearly how much it was worth in silver.
Over the years, there have been too many to count, and no one can finish them all.
But they could see and later remember the total number, three hundred and seventy-eight thousand taels of silver.
How much is this? Enough for ordinary warriors to buy as many elixirs as possible.
This Gu Yeming actually took so many things from the palace.
The previous breakup of the engagement was just a joke. After all, it was a matter between the Gu family and the Wang family.
And in the minds of many people, Huo Tang, the former Anyang Princess, was a loser who could not practice martial arts. Although he had a noble status, he could not practice martial arts and had a limited lifespan after all.
And Mr. Gu is not only noble in status, but also a rare young genius in Luoling Country. Such a figure is destined to shine like the bright moon in the sky.
Princess Anyang is indeed a bit unworthy of her.
Many people just watch the fun, but there are still many people who support Gu Yeming.
But no one knew that Gu Yeming had taken so many things from the palace.
I took so many benefits without paying a penny, and I just broke off the engagement.
I think marrying Princess Anyang is too old-fashioned and boring. Why don't you say that when you take other people's things?
This is really not ordinary ingratitude.
And the people present were all martial arts practitioners. It could be seen that the ones Gu Yeming took were elixirs that were of great benefit to martial arts practitioners.
Can we say that the reason why Gu Yeming became a genius and such a young eighth-level warrior was related to the precious elixirs in the palace.
But as soon as the other party has achieved great success, he abandons Princess Anyang. Isn't this burning the bridge across the river?
While everyone was watching, they were whispering to each other, and the eyes they looked at Gu Yeming became more and more contemptuous.
Many people couldn't help it and scolded them directly: "This is so shameless"
"I broke off the engagement before when I wanted to break off the engagement. After all, I really didn't like it. You can't force this kind of thing. , It’s a pity that if you want to break off the engagement, you have to give back what you took from others.”
“This is really about taking advantage. It’s too shameless to push people away after taking advantage. "
"Bah, I used to target this person, but his character is like this? I was really blind before"
"Princess Anyang is so pitiful. "
"No, no, no, I think Princess Anyang is very lucky. At least she has recognized his true face before marrying him."
"Do you still remember before? The same thing happened to people these days, and Miss Ouyang was also like this. She took things from others and refused to return them."
"These two cousins are really the same people."
"Isn't it possible that Miss Ouyang's so-called genius reputation is also based on the elixir from the palace?"
"It's really scary to think about it"
"No, it's not the same Is the family a big business? Why did Mr. Gu not take anything from their Gu Mansion, but he took so many things from the Prince’s Mansion?"
The voices of those people became louder and louder, and some people were still worried at first. Gu Yeming's identity, but as more and more people discuss it, everyone has less and less scruples and can say whatever they want.
Some people scold Gu Yeming, some people criticize Ouyang Muqing, and some people sympathize with Huo Tang, you name it.
Those thick bills were passed from one person to another, and many people saw the contents.
Ouyang Muqing's body trembled with anger, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!
She wanted to yell, but she had to consider her own image and held it back.
She pulled Gu Yeming and said in a low tone with some urgency: "What should I do? Cousin"
How did things develop to this point?
Gu Yeming's face was livid at first, but as the situation developed and became increasingly beyond his control, he calmed down. He took a deep look at Huo Tang.
How could he not know until now that all of this was her premeditated plan!
She is taking revenge on him.
She deliberately waited until today to agree to break off the engagement to make him lose face.
Looking at the people around him, he did not explain anything and said to Huo Tang: "I won’t talk about the rights and wrongs of the past. Qinger has already paid you back what I owed you a few days ago. As for me Give me a few days and I will return it to you."
After saying that, he will not stay here. Now that his face has been lost, staying here will only make people laugh.
He jumped directly over the crowd and flew away from here.
“Cousin——”
Ouyang Muqing did not expect that Gu Yeming would leave her behind like this!
She gave Huo Tang a hard look. Anyway, here at Huo Tang, she had already broken her face and stopped pretending.
She simply said coldly: "Don't think you will win if you do this, we will see."
She turned around, straightened her back, and left proudly.
Seeing her leave, everyone was a little sad.
However, the parties involved had already left. After giving Huo Tang a sympathetic look, those people also left one by one and did not stay here any longer.
"Congratulations, you got rid of that kind of person"
Lin Moxuan turned to congratulate Huo Tang.
He and Huo Tang are about the same age, and they played together when they were children.
But as she grew up, her temperament became more and more reserved, and gradually the two of them could not play together, and they gradually became alienated.
He didn't expect that Huo Tang's temperament would become so interesting now.
I had seen her several times from a distance before. Among the crowd, she was always so dignified, gentle and reserved.
Rarely communicates with others.
Cautious and tolerant at every turn, such a temperament is simply a headache.
Now it suddenly looks like this, like a different person.
I don’t know if it was because of the previous incident that I suffered such a heavy blow that I became a different person.
But he felt that she was bright and confident now, and she would fight back beautifully against those who had bad intentions.
She is more likeable like this.
"This is indeed something worth celebrating"
Huo Tang smiled, she had waited for so long, didn't she just want to make Gu Yeming lose face when she was the center of attention? ?
And this competition is a good opportunity.
There are many people paying attention to this matter today, and there are people at all levels.
Winning the martial arts competition is a time when people are paying attention to him. Proposing to break off the engagement at this time will maximize this effect.
Now Huo Tang is very satisfied with the result.
But now all this is just the beginning, not the end.
How could she easily let go of those who had hurt her and betrayed her?
