Chapter 1221

She always had the feeling of being seen through.

She asked in surprise upon hearing this:

"Only his Wu Gong is not bad? Ajiu heard that Yuan Chengzhi has a good reputation; since coming down from the mountain, he has done many deeds of punishing evil and promoting good."

Gu Hanyuan did not care that Zhu Meichuo was praising Yuan Chengzhi.

The two have not met yet.

It would be very easy to reverse Zhu Meichuo's opinion of Yuan Chengzhi.

He said mockingly:

"They are merely insignificant trifles; Yuan Chengzhi lacks courage and boldness, making it hard for him to achieve great things. Even if he wants to do something significant, it is mostly out of momentary impulse; once he calms down, he hesitates and retreats."

Simply put.

Yuan Chengzhi is qualified as a Jianghu hero.

But for Zhu Meichuo, he is of little significance.

Therefore, she sighed regretfully:

"What a pity."

Gu Hanyuan reminded her with a light smile:

"Miss Ajiu, don't tell me you still want to win him over? Do not forget that your father is his father's killer."

Zhu Meichuo was startled upon hearing this and said:

"Young Master Gu is right; it was Ajiu who was indulging in wishful thinking."

Subsequently, the two no longer discussed official business.

They chatted casually about the scenery by the river.

Wen Qingqing, having been comforted by Gu Hanyuan.

Also temporarily set aside her hostility toward Zhu Meichuo.

From time to time, she interjected a few words, joining the conversation.

With Gu Hanyuan intentionally showing off.

Zhu Meichuo exclaimed in admiration:

"It is rumored that Young Master Gu is a genius of heavenly proportions, well-versed in astronomy, geography, poetry, and song, even more miraculous than his Wu Gong. Indeed, the reputation is well-deserved."

Zhu Meichuo is worthy of her royal upbringing.

Her knowledge is not something an ordinary person can compare to.

If one's learning was insufficient, one would simply not understand the topics between the two.

For example, Wen Qingqing, who was gradually unable to keep up with the depth of the conversation.

Was a bit confused at this moment.

But that did not hinder her admiration.

A pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly.

She couldn't help but lean in a little closer.
