Upon hearing this, Gu Wei'ang's eyes widened in shock, and he suddenly realized that the wealthy businessman Qin Mulan was referring to was actually His Highness Prince Rui.

Upon hearing this, he immediately tried to explain.

But Prince Rui had already released him and turned to leave.

Gu Wei'ang hurriedly chased after him, but was stopped by the people behind Prince Rui.

He called out again.

"Your Highness..."

He had only uttered two words when he felt dizzy, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

When Chu Qianlan arrived, the first thing she saw was Prince Rui's imposing figure as he was about to leave.

She was surprised for a moment, then immediately bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Rui..."

Before she could finish speaking, Prince Rui didn't even glance at her, simply snorted coldly, and strode away.

Chu Qianlan was puzzled for a moment, then quickly went to find Gu Wei'ang to ask him what was going on.

But as soon as they entered, they saw Gu Wei'ang lying on the ground with a pale face.

The woman was wrapped in a sheet, anxiously checking on his condition.

Chu Qianlan was shocked and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Mulan's hair, and slapped her across the face.

"You bitch!"

Chu Qianlan's hands went numb from the shock, and blood immediately seeped from the corner of Qin Mulan's mouth. The sheets covering her body were loosened, revealing her body, which was only covered by a bodice.

Chu Qianlan saw the blue and purple marks on it, which revealed Gu Wei'ang's love and obsession, and made Chu Qianlan's eyes red.

She raised her hand again and slapped him across the face once more.

"Vixen!"

"You lowly wretch, if anything happens to the Marquis, I'll be the first to not let you off the hook."

As he spoke, he slapped her several more times.

The old nanny behind her couldn't help but remind her, "Madam, this vile woman can be dealt with anytime. You should check on the Marquis first; his health is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Chu Qianlan finally came to her senses.

She glared at Qin Mulan again before turning to Gu Wei'ang, ordering him to be carried to bed and summoning a doctor.

Gu Wei'ang didn't wake up until the second day.

He opened his eyes blankly and saw Chu Qianlan dozing off by the bedside. He immediately sat up.

Where is Qin Mulan?

Chu Qianlan was so angry that her eyes turned red when she saw that Gu Wei'ang had just woken up and was already thinking about that slut.

"Gu Wei'ang, do you have any conscience at all? You've ruined your health because of that little bitch!"

I've been watching over you here all night, and the first thing you said when you opened your eyes was about that little bitch?

Gu Wei'ang was now only focused on the fact that Qin Mulan was actually one of Prince Rui's people, and he just wanted to call Qin Mulan over and ask her about it.

However, Chu Qianlan continued to press him aggressively, which gave him an increasingly difficult time.

"Go and call her over, I need to speak with her!"

Gu Wei'ang tried his best to calm himself down so that he could coax Chu Qianlan to bring the person over.

However, Chu Qianlan did not believe him at all and immediately stood up and shouted.

"Gu Wei'ang, is that bitch all you can think about right now?"

Gu Wei'ang also lost his patience.

“I told you, I have something to do right now. She might be one of Prince Rui's people. I need to get her here to explain things clearly.”

"Hmph!" Chu Qianlan didn't listen to a word and snorted coldly.

"You've even brought up Prince Rui? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"You actually believe what you're saying?"

"You don't need to waste your breath. I killed that bitch a long time ago."

Gu Wei'ang stood up in surprise upon hearing this.

"What did you say?"

"You actually killed her!"

Gu Wei's voice rose several decibels in urgency, but Chu Qianlan gave a cold laugh.

"Look how anxious you are!"

"What? Does killing her make you this sad?"

"Smack—"

Gu Wei slapped her across the face.

"Foolish woman! Do you know what a foolish thing you've done?"

Chu Qianlan covered her face, her expression filled with disbelief, "You actually hit me!"

Gu Wei'ang retorted, "Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"

"If this implicates the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, I will kill you on the spot."

He said this and then got up to leave.

However, because he was currently weak, he felt dizzy after taking only a few steps and had to lean on the table for support.

Just then, Qin Mulan's delicate pleading voice came from outside.

"Madam, I beg you, please allow me to see the Marquis!"

"All the mistakes are the slave's fault."

“I know that this has brought trouble to Marquis Yong’an. I am willing to take full responsibility. I only ask that you allow me to see you one more time, my lord.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan wished she could go out right now and tear that bitch's mouth apart.

But Gu Wei'ang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go and let her in."

Chu Qianlan was naturally unwilling, but seeing Gu Wei'ang's threatening gaze, she had no choice but to reluctantly bring the person in.

As soon as Qin Mulan entered, she immediately knelt before Gu Wei'ang, tears streaming down her face, and said, "My Lord..."

She knelt and took a few steps forward.

"I didn't know that the wealthy merchant was His Highness Prince Rui. Please, just kill me now to appease His Highness's anger."

Gu Wei'ang hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and could only sigh helplessly.

"This is not your fault. What's done is done. The most important thing now is to find a solution."

Prince Rui has always been arrogant, and if this matter cannot be resolved smoothly, it will definitely affect their relationship.

Upon realizing this, Gu Wei'ang immediately looked at Chu Qianlan.

"You must hurry up and find ten beautiful women and send them to Prince Rui's residence."

Chu Qianlan had already guessed that something serious must have happened, so she stopped making a fuss and immediately nodded obediently.

Qin Mulan immediately replied, "My lord, let me go. I will definitely explain things clearly to His Highness Prince Rui after I go."

Gu Wei'ang couldn't help but look at Qin Mulan again.

Although he guessed that Qin Mulan's visit might provoke His Highness Prince Rui's wrath.

However, if Prince Rui were to vent all his anger on Qin Mulan, it would probably be more beneficial to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.

But, in that case...

He couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at Qin Mulan.

"Do you know that if you go there, your life might be in danger..."

Qin Mulan nodded firmly.

"I understand."

"But this matter was caused by me. If my life can appease His Highness Prince Rui, then my life will not have been in vain."

As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. She only hoped that the Marquis would remember Mulan and that next year he would add a handful of soil to Mulan's grave.

After she finished speaking, she blinked lightly, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

Gu Wei'ang's heart also stirred, but for the future of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, he had no choice but to sacrifice her.

Do you have parents or siblings?

Qin Mulan shook her head.

"Mulan is all alone. It is my blessing that she was able to serve the Marquis before she died."

As she spoke, she bent down and, with tears streaming down her face, gave Gu Wei'ang a deep bow before slowly walking out.
