Shen Wan Tang's older sister, who had been reborn, snatched her marriage arrangement and pushed the Prince of Ning's heir, who had become a monk, onto her. "The Royal Estate is prospero...
Chapter 135 She still wants to be my mistress?
Chu Yanluo, who was lying in bed pretending to be sick, sat up in shock and anger when she heard that Gu Qianhan had taken her away to get revenge on Xiao Qingyuan.
"Young Master Gu, you took me away from the Ning Prince's residence not because you like me, but because you want to get revenge on Qingyuan?"
Gu Qianhan, sparing with words, replied: "Yes."
"So, all that talk about marrying me as your legal wife was a lie? You never intended for me to marry into the family?"
Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "What, you really want to marry me? You really want to enter the Gu family? Then why did you write to Xiao Qingyuan and get entangled with him?"
Chu Yanluo's face turned pale. She thought she was very clever and that she could finally become Gu Qianhan's wife and hold her head high after hooking up with him. But she never expected that it was all a lie!
Two lines of tears streamed down her face, but she still maintained a stubborn and strong demeanor, raising her head and saying, "Second Young Master Gu, don't slander me. I have not been entangled with the Heir Apparent, nor have I written him any letters! After leaving the Prince's Mansion, I never thought of going back!"
Gu Qianhan sneered: "You can fool Xiao Qingyuan but you can't fool me. One minute you want to marry me, the next you want to marry Xiao Qingyuan. You keep wavering like this. Do you think you're so clever?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Qingyuan and said, "I don't know if you're blind or have mud in your head to fancy someone like this, but since you like her, I won't let you have her! Tell me, besides her, who else do you like? I'll take them all!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face was as dark as if it were about to rain: "Gu Qianhan, don't be so arrogant! Who do you think you are, taking whoever you want? You can't take anyone! Especially Yan Luo, she has nothing to do with you now. I can take her away if I want, and you can't stop me!"
"Yeah?"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Qianhan's deep eyes, then he reached out and slowly patted his hand: "Obsidian."
Outside the window, a black figure appeared silently: "Young Master."
"Call everyone out and let the young master see if he can take even a fly away from me today."
Obsidian put his finger to his lips and whistled.
In an instant, the area was surrounded by men dressed in black.
Xiao Qingyuan's face stiffened, and he looked at Gu Qianhan in disbelief: "When did you raise so many guards? What do you need so many guards for? I thought you were like me, with only a few servants around you. I didn't expect you to be hiding your strength!"
Gu Qianhan clapped his hands, and Obsidian outside the window disappeared silently, just as it had appeared. Along with him, the group of men in black also vanished.
He never kept any guards before, because there was no need for them.
But having been given a second chance at life, he knew the Gu family would face annihilation, so he had to make preparations in advance.
In fact, among the guards he kept were some agile female guards. These were not for himself, but for his sister. If she refused to listen to his advice and insisted on marrying the Crown Prince, then all her maids would be replaced with guards, so that at least she could save her life in a critical moment.
However, he had never mentioned these things to anyone, and naturally, he couldn't tell Xiao Qingyuan the truth.
He simply said coldly, "Whether I'm hiding my strength or not is irrelevant. I just want to tell you, Chu Yanluo, you can't take her away! Now, do you want to leave with dignity, or do you want my men to throw you out in an undignified manner?"
Xiao Qingyuan's handsome face contorted with rage: "You don't even like Yan Luo, yet you're forcing her to stay here—it's shameless! Release her immediately and give her her freedom!"
"Who said I forced her to stay here? Chu Yanluo, tell him yourself, do you want to stay here, or go back to the Ning Prince's mansion to be his concubine?"
"I……"
Chu Yanluo had barely uttered a single word when Gu Qianhan forcefully interrupted her: "Think it over before you speak. You are the most aloof and proud woman. You're willing to be a concubine? Have I misjudged you? You're no different from those worldly women, coveting the wealth of the Prince Ning's mansion, willing to humble yourself and become a concubine? Is all your aloofness just an act?"
Chu Yanluo's face froze. She never expected that the persona she had created for herself would be used by Gu Qianhan, and that it would trap her in a tight spot!
She was grinding her teeth so hard they were almost broken, but she could only swallow the words she had just wanted to say, and said with resentment, "I will not go back to the Prince's mansion with the young master, I will not be a concubine."
Xiao Qingyuan grew anxious: "Yanluo, even if you don't want to be a concubine, you can come back to the Prince's Mansion with me. What's the meaning of you staying here? Do you know that people outside are saying that you are now Gu Qianhan's mistress! If this continues, your reputation will be completely ruined!"
Gu Qianhan was ruthless: "Her reputation was ruined long ago. When she got pregnant with another man's child, when she moved into the Ning Prince's mansion without a betrothal, when she accused me of taking a thousand taels of gold from me first, it should be said that her reputation was never good. Her infamy was self-inflicted and has nothing to do with me. She even wants to be my mistress? She doesn't deserve it!"
With each word he spoke, Chu Yanluo's expression grew increasingly grim. By the time he finished speaking, Chu Yanluo's eyes had turned dark and gloomy.
So that's what Gu Qianhan thought of her!
He deserves to die! How could he not like her and dare to play her for a fool!
And she foolishly returned the box of gold, and even followed him out of the Prince Ning's mansion and moved into this dilapidated house!
Now, it's highly likely that the box of gold will never be recovered, and it won't be so easy for Prince Ning's mansion to move back in. And all of this is thanks to Gu Qianhan!
No, she can't let herself suffer such a huge loss!
She had to teach Gu Qianhan a lesson and make things difficult for him! Otherwise, wouldn't her rebirth have been for nothing?
Originally, she was thinking that if Gu Qianhan could marry her as his legal wife, she would tell him about the future of the Gu family so that the Gu family could avoid the tragedy of being wiped out.
Now, she won't remind him anymore. He and everyone in the Gu family, let them die together!
The thought that the entire Gu family would die tragically, including Gu Qianhan, made Chu Yanlu feel better. Moreover, because of her rebirth, she felt exceptionally proud and superior.
She spoke in a condescending tone: "Gu Qianhan, don't regret it tomorrow for slandering me like this! I am a person deeply favored by the heavens. If you treat me well, I might be in a good mood and even give you some pointers so that you can survive!"
Gu Qianhan keenly sensed the difference between her and before, and presumably, the "guidance" she was referring to was the massacre of the Gu family.
However, it wasn't today that he learned Chu Yanluo had also been reborn. He knew she had been reborn long ago, when she taught the people at Qingyunlou how to make that fruit jelly ice bowl snack.
But so what if she was reborn? Compared to her previous life, she hasn't improved much; she's just become more troublesome and restless.
