Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 217 Do You Want to Marry Him?

"Sit down if you want. Am I afraid of you?"

Zhang Qiongsi sat down opposite her with a sullen face.

Shen Nankui raised his eyes and took a look at her. He saw that she was well-dressed with gorgeous hair and fancy clothes. Her clothes were quite expensive, so she must have come from a wealthy family in the city.

She asked Zhong Shan to serve tea, "Miss, calm down first. If you have any misunderstandings about me, you can talk about it slowly."

Zhang Qiongsi was extremely angry, but compared with the other party's calm and composed attitude, she seemed inferior, and it made her feel like she had punched cotton.

"I said you are shameless, why aren't you angry?"

Shen Nankui said: "Miss, why don't you tell me in detail, how shameless am I?"

"Humph!"

Zhang Qiongsi snorted coldly, stood up and looked down at her, and only then did he feel that his momentum had risen a lot.

"Let me ask you, why would you choose to be someone's mistress instead of being a decent woman?"

The pretty woman in front of him had an aggressive attitude, and the deep contempt in her eyes almost made Shen Nankui have an illusion - did she really do something despicable?

But, mistress?

Her?

Are you talking about her, Shen Nankui?

Shen Nankui thought about her two lives. In her previous life, she was a widow in the Marquis' Mansion, and in this life, her husband was by her side. She didn't think there was anything about her that could be misunderstood as someone else's mistress.

She felt it was absurd and laughed unconsciously, "Did the girl recognize the wrong person?"

Hehua was so angry that his face turned black and he glared at the two of them.

"Do you know who my wife is, and you speak disrespectfully to her?"

Zhang Qiongsi curled her lips, "She is just a concubine, what's there to be proud of? She is just relying on the favor of Gu Zhouzun. You can arrogantly call yourself his wife now. When he gets married, what will you have to do with him?"

It turns out that it is related to Gu Yichuan.

Shen Nankui rubbed her eyebrows, looking quite helpless. It seemed that her husband was too outstanding, which was not a good thing as he always attracted people's attention.

No wonder this girl is hostile to her, the root of the problem is here.

But what about this mistress?

"Miss, you may have misunderstood something. Gu Zhouzun and I are husband and wife."

He Hua then said coldly: "That's right, how dare you slander Madam Zhou Zun for no reason, who gave you the courage, why don't you tell me your name?"

Zhang Qiongsi sneered, "Now that I have exposed everything, you are still trying to cover it up. You are so hypocritical."

She pointed at Shen Nankui and said, "Let me ask you, have you lived in Deshui Lane for a long time?"

Shen Nankui said: "Just half a year."

"Let me ask you again, when Gu Zhouzun went to Yongzhou, was your child already born?"

Shen Nankui thought for a moment and said, "It's almost time for the baby to be born."

Zhang Qiongsi felt that everything was very clear, and said with a firm face: "In this case, you admit that your child has nothing to do with Gu Zhouzun, and you, a woman who has just given birth, although you don't know where the father of your child is, you actually have no scruples and seduced Gu Zhouzun like this, making him stay in Deshui Lane every day and take you as his concubine. This behavior is really shameful!"

"but--"

She changed the subject, "As a woman, I can understand you a little. Maybe you were deceived and abandoned by the man before you, and you are afraid that you and your unborn child will be left alone, so you got involved with Gu Zhouzun. Although it is understandable, it is still a self-degrading act."

There was a hint of disappointment on Zhang Qiongsi's face.

"What good is there in being a mistress?"

"Your children will not be able to hold their heads up high in the future because of this. Gu Zhouzun can protect you now, but what about when he gets married? Will his wife be able to accommodate you?"

"Besides, you run such a big shop, and you have things to rely on. Why do you want to hurt others and yourself and end up with a bad reputation?"

These words came like a string of cannonballs, knocking everyone unconscious.

Shen Nankui: “…”

He Hua: “…”

Zhong Shan and others: "..."

Even Hehua, who had been feeling indignant, couldn't help but think to herself: Is this girl mentally ill?

What nonsense are you talking about here?

Shen Nankui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "So, the young lady doesn't want to believe what I just said?"

Zhang Qiongsi sat down again. "You guys just made it up. How can you believe it?"

If she was really Gu Yichuang's wife, why didn't she live in the prefectural government?

It is obvious that her status is limited, yet she still dares to speak so arrogantly here. She really wastes her elegance and grace.

For some reason, Zhang Qiongsi felt a little regretful.

Shen Nankui paused, "So, what is your purpose in telling me this, young lady?"

"No purpose."

"Oh, is it so?"

It was rare to meet someone with such a straightforward personality. Shen Nankui was not angry with her, but rather became somewhat interested. He smiled faintly and said, "What the girl said is not true."

"Even if I am a concubine and am despised by others, we have never met before, so I shouldn't make you so angry. And I noticed that you seemed to be protecting Gu Zhouzun in your words just now. Could it be that you want to marry him?"

"How could it be!"

Zhang Qiongsi's face flushed, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"It seems that what I said was right. I wonder which family you are from?"

Zhang Qiongsi pursed her lips and said with a warning, "I have never said such a thing, so don't make random guesses. As for who I am, there is no need to tell you."

Although she admired Gu Yichuan, he had an affair with a woman who had given birth to a child, which showed that his character was worrying. As the daughter of Zhang from Yongzhou, she could not stand this kind of grievance no matter what.

Shen Nankui saw the confusion and embarrassment on her face and felt even more curious.

His eyes fell on her. "Young lady, this dress must have been made by the embroiderer of the Elegant Clothing Pavilion. With such tailoring and material, I'm afraid that few families in the city can afford it."

Shen Nankui was in charge of a fabric business and had dealt with many fabric shops and embroidery shops in Yongzhou, so he knew the market conditions in this area.

"And since you are so concerned about Gu Zhouzun's whereabouts, you must have seen him in person. In this case, the scope is even smaller. I wonder which family you are from among Zhang, Huang, Song, Sun, and Zhao?"

The woman in front of him had decent manners and clothes, so she must be from a high family.

Gu Yichuan had just taken office in Yongzhou and acted very low-key. The only families he had close contacts with were the five families mentioned above. Zhang, Huang, and Sun were all from the Yongzhou government, while the Song and Zhao families also had extraordinary status in Yongzhou.

Only the families of these five families have the opportunity to meet Gu Yichuan.

She must have come from one of them.

After Shen Nankui finished speaking, there was a faint smile on his face, but Zhang Qiongsi's expression suddenly changed after hearing this.
