After a while, she held the ginseng soup in her hand and looked at the servants guarding outside the study with a smile. She said in a soft voice, "Two brothers, I am here on the orders of the young lady to deliver the ginseng soup to the son-in-law. Please do me a favor and I will leave immediately!"

The guarding man didn't buy it.

"The young master hasn't come back yet, you should go back first! Besides, the study is a very important place, it's not something a maid like you can just enter and exit casually."

Pei'er tried everything but to no avail and returned home unwillingly in defeat.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around, ready to find another suitable opportunity.

…

As soon as Chen Zhizhou returned to the mansion, he learned that Pei'er intended to enter his study.

"Third Master, that maidservant doesn't seem honest. She even glanced around before leaving. If she doesn't succeed this time, there might be another chance. Do you want to..."

The servant raised his hand and gestured towards his neck, with a fierce look on his face.

"Not for now!"

Chen Zhizhou's eyes were as dark as the night, and his voice was cold and low, "Keep an eye on her more. If necessary, you can reveal some flaws to her."

He also wanted to know what Gu Qing's intention was in marrying him?

After spending these two days together, her attitude towards herself changed drastically.

He has been helping me find the truth today, and in the evening he sent his men to search my study. Such strange and repetitive behavior is really puzzling.

After sending the servant away, he collected his thoughts and returned to his room as if nothing had happened.

When I opened the door, a faint fragrance hit me in the face.

Chen Zhizhou frowned slightly and looked through the dim light. Gu Qing was sleeping soundly on the bed. He seemed to have noticed something, frowned, moaned, and turned to the side.

Afraid of disturbing her, Chen Zhizhou tiptoed over.

She took off the red hairpin she wore during the day, and her long black hair was casually scattered, making her look less distant and more gentle, which made people feel close to her.

Chen Zhizhou pursed his lips, his eyes filled with desire. He raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Qing's cheek. He leaned over and first kissed her forehead lightly, and then kissed her intensively.

“Hmm…”

Gu Qing dreamed of the scene before her death in her previous life. The heart-wrenching pain woke her up, and she opened her eyes to see Chen Zhizhou.

She was stunned, her mind still groggy as she was being led by him, and she responded awkwardly.

After receiving the response, Chen Zhizhou was like a hungry wolf. He pressed her under him and bit her again and again, never satisfied.

The red gauze curtain of the bunk bed was torn down at some point, covering up the beautiful scenery on the bed.

…

The second day.

Gu Qing opened her eyes, thinking of last night's debauchery, the man's lean chest and the whispers when he buried his head in her neck when he was aroused. The heavy sleepiness disappeared instantly and her face flushed red.

The aching feeling in her limbs when she stood up made her feel extremely embarrassed, and she secretly cursed the man for his amazing physical strength.

What a reckless man!

Gu Qing just raised his hand to pat his waist when he was interrupted by Qiu Rong's anxious voice.

"Young Madam, something bad has happened!"

Qiu Rong was young and immature, so she rushed in and reported, "A woman with this child caused a scene in front of our house. Madam was so angry she nearly fainted when she found out, and she hasn't recovered yet! The master and the third young master are both out, so you're the only one left in charge of the family now."

"That woman is getting more and more violent. She's attracted so many people to come and see us that we've blocked off the entrance to our house. You should go and take a look!"

Gu Qing's heart sank.

There are so many servants in the villa and they can’t even look after a woman and a child!

"Hurry, Qiu Rong, change my clothes for me."

Her tone was urgent, she was worried about her mother-in-law, and she was even more afraid that this incident would have a bad impact on the Chen family.

…

Outside the main gate of Chen Mansion.

Yu Furong cried miserably and scolded Chen's father and everyone in the Chen family. At the same time, she did not forget to hug her daughter with heartache, acting like a loving mother.

“This is too tragic!”

"I really didn't expect that. Even though she was born a singer, this kind of friendship is really rare. Besides, the child is innocent after all. How could the Chen family be so cruel?"

The crowd watching was talking about it and kept looking at Yu Furong and her daughter with sympathy.

Yesterday's 'insider' added fuel to the fire, "No wonder this woman stopped Third Master Chen's carriage yesterday. I originally thought Third Master Chen had abandoned his own flesh and blood, but who would have thought she was Mr. Chen's daughter? This girl has suddenly become Third Master Chen's biological sister. I wonder how she feels!"

“There’s such a thing!”

Everyone was shocked and their expressions became more varied.

Gu Qing helped Chen's mother out and happened to hear these words.

Mother Chen was both ashamed and angry, and she almost fainted from the anger. Fortunately, Gu Qing supported her and kept comforting her, so she managed to calm down.

"What... is going on?"

Chen's mother was a gentle and generous woman who had spent her whole life taking care of her husband and children. Although she kept the Chen family's inner courtyard in order, she had never experienced such a scene and felt a little lost.

Gu Qing gripped her arm with a little force, signaling her not to be afraid, that he could take care of everything. Then he turned around and scolded Yu Furong harshly.

"How dare you! Do you know this is the residence of a fourth-rank official of the imperial court? How can you cry and make a scene in front of this door?"

Gu Qing exuded a fierce aura, and when he glared with his cold eyes, the majesty of a superior instantly frightened everyone so much that they dared not even breathe.

Yu Furong was frightened when she saw her gaze, but she still refused to give in.

"Young Madam, you are of noble status, and I cannot compare to you, but my daughter is Mr. Chen's own flesh and blood. If things go according to the rules, you are still her sister-in-law!"

As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Chen's mother with the child, and said pitifully, "Madam, I know my status is low, and I don't expect to be able to enter the Chen family, but the child is the master's own flesh and blood, and should be enshrined in the ancestral hall. Please be kind and have pity on her!"

"If you don't agree, my mother and I will have no way to survive..."

She kept pressuring Chen's mother with her words and actions, as if she would kill herself in front of Chen's house if she didn't agree.

Mother Chen looked at Gu Qing for help.

Gu Qing frowned, glanced at the onlookers' pointing and talking, and then looked at Yu Furong. He saw the determination in her eyes and felt a secret hatred in his heart.

She deliberately made a big deal out of it, thinking that the Chen family wouldn't dare do anything to her.

Gu Qing's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "The truth is still unclear. You sold yourself to the music hall and slept with everyone. Who knows how this child was conceived? You expect the Chen family to recognize you based on a few empty words. Isn't that ridiculous!"

Her words were full of meaning, and her eyes were fixed on Yu Furong, carefully observing her facial expression.

Yu Furong felt a little flustered, her eyes flickering.

Could it be that she knows everything?

Gu Qing took in her expression and became even more certain that there must be something going on.
