I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 206 - 140: The Affectionate Young Master Gu

Then he was straightaway chased away by Uncle Li with two servants from the Marquis Mansion.

"This is an imperial edict from the Empress Dowager! How dare you try to stop me, let go of me immediately!"

Little Xu shouted while his limbs were held by Uncle Li and the servants.

Very soon, a crowd of citizens surrounded the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, buzzing with discussion.

"I don’t care who you are; this is the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. How dare you make such a ruckus here?" Uncle Li said with a humble yet proud attitude, "Also, who can prove that what you hold is truly the Empress Dowager’s edict?"

"I am the Chief Eunuch from the Yongshou Palace, Li Xu. My authority is the proof!" Little Xu struggled and shouted, his voice as unpleasant as a screeching duck.

Unlike the previous Little Xu, he had no martial arts skills, only a handsome face, which was now twisted in frustration.

The surrounding citizens were curious and excited to see that the visitor was a eunuch, and their varied expressions made Little Xu even more uncomfortable.

"Huh, what if you are falsely transmitting an imperial edict?" Uncle Li retorted.

Little Xu replied, "Everyone in the Capital City knows the Empress Dowager issued the edict for Young Master to be married. Why would I deceive anyone?"

Uncle Li said, "Everyone knows my young master would never marry the Second Miss of the Lu Family. Isn’t it possible the Empress Dowager is being misled?"

The whole matter boiled down to feigning ignorance. If Little Xu had a beard, it would definitely be bristling from anger. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Disregarding his struggle, Uncle Li gestured with his hand, and with a "bang," Little Xu was thrown onto the street at the gate of the Marquis Mansion.

The citizens quickly surrounded him, pointing and discussing.

"I heard the Empress Dowager has issued an edict for Young Master Gu to marry Lord Lu’s daughter."

"But it’s said the Young Master prefers men, isn’t it?"

"The Lu Family is just looking to climb a higher branch. What can the Young Master do in the face of imperial command, even if he likes men?"

"The Lu Family is really rising in status now, not only the Second Miss marrying Young Master, but Lord Lu’s son, Lu Rufeng, is also set to marry the Princess!"

"Young Master has always been defiant; I doubt he will accept the edict."

"Sigh... Do you all forget how the Young Master distributed porridge to us before? Now Dingyuan Marquis fights bloodily in the Northern Territory for our Dayan, with his life uncertain, yet the Young Master is forced to marry someone he doesn’t want. Isn’t that chilling the heart of the Marquis Mansion?"

In recent days, although Gu Lan was still infamous as the top playboy in the Capital City, many had changed their views on her.

Despite her image as a playboy, acts like aiding in flood disaster relief, killing corrupt officials, closing a brothel, capturing Qiangrong, promoting Dayan’s prestige, fearlessly opposing the powerful, while being handsome and charming, have made her a male idol in the hearts of many noblewomen, rivaling even the first gentleman Xie Yun.

Especially because of the downfall of Qian Mansion and the closure of Drunk Flower House, Gu Lan has won much admiration from middle-aged noblewomen.

Little Xu climbed up from the ground, holding the edict high as he loudly proclaimed again:

"Dingyuan Marquis Mansion refusing me entry, is it a rebellion?"

Uncle Li’s gaze turned colder, just about to speak to drive him away again, when the Marquis Mansion’s gate swung open, revealing a tall silhouette.

"Young Master Gu!"

"The Young Master has come out!"

Little Xu immediately stood up, raised the edict, and shouted sternly, "Gu Lan, aren’t you going to kneel and listen to the edict?"

"Are you going to read it or not? If not, then leave."

Gu Lan’s expression was stern and calm, remaining where she was, her hand resting gently on the Longquan at her waist, softly caressing it.

It’s rumored that Young Master Gu was highly skilled in martial arts, using a Longquan Treasure Sword that could cut through iron like mud to fight against a hundred enemies, killing with ease.

Little Xu was so scared that he almost stopped breathing, forcing himself to focus as he softly began reading, "Imperial edict from the Empress Dowager, Dingyuan Marquis, General of the North, Gu Chengzhao’s son Gu Lan, upright and harmonious—"

He had just started when Gu Lan took the apricot-yellow edict from his hand and tossed it to Zipei behind her.

"Don’t bother reading, it’s all nonsense anyway."

Hearing this, the surrounding citizens burst into laughter.

Currently, Gu Lan had the image of a righteous person who feared no authority, while the representative of the Empress Dowager, Little Xu, was seen as the villain tearing apart relationships.

The citizens loved a spectacle, and in such scenes, most stood by Gu Lan’s side.

"Young Master Gu, how dare you speak to me like this!" Little Xu shouted, jumping with rage.

Gu Lan looked at him, calmly saying, "If Sir can’t bear it, why not have the Empress Dowager withdraw the marriage edict?"

Little Xu held back his resentment, "This is the Empress Dowager’s command, not something that can change overnight. The Empress Dowager also has a verbal decree, ordering Young Master to promptly marry the Second Miss Lu after receiving the edict."
