Chapter 1: Be a concubine?

"Um……"

The gauze curtains fluttered lightly, filling the room with fragrance.

The morning light quietly climbed up the windowsill, and I could vaguely see clothes scattered on the floor and figures entangled on the bed.

Gu Jingchun closed her eyes tightly, a trace of sweat soaked her beautiful face, and her satisfied expression was like that of a lazy cat.

When she was aroused, she lifted her neck slightly and kissed the man's Adam's apple, and tightened her legs around his strong waist.

The man on her body couldn't stand the stimulation for a moment, and he just growled and collapsed.

The curtains were opened, and Gu Jingchun lay weakly on the bed, with a thin quilt casually draped around her waist, revealing her graceful and curvy figure.

Her delicate white skin was covered with purple marks, her long black hair was scattered on the bed, and her eye circles and nose were slightly red, obviously she had been tortured severely.

However, her eyes were very charming and attractive, and her gaze was like a hook that kept sweeping across the strong man's body.

The man was only wearing a white undershirt, and through the open collar one could see his sturdy waist and broad shoulders.

He bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, his brows slightly frowned, and his handsome face turned dark, especially when he saw the woman with seductive eyes on the bed, his brows frowned even more, showing regret.

Gu Jingchun knew why he was unhappy, and felt proud, so he couldn't help but criticize him.

"What? Not satisfied yet?"

Gu Jingchun had an extremely beautiful face, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which were round, very pure and lively, but the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, which made her look even more charming.

Especially now, her eyes are seductive and full of charm.

"What do you think?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his handsome eyes were full of desire.

He threw the clothes he had picked up down again and rushed into the tent again.

The wind and rain came suddenly, and it was already noon when the wind calmed down.

Gu Jingchun woke up in the man's arms.

Looking at the man's handsome face, Gu Jingchun felt a little reluctant, but time was running out and she had to find a way to separate from the man.

Counting the days, it was less than two years before the people from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion came looking for her. She had to make plans early and leave early, and not let them find her easily.

Gu Jingchun was reborn.

She was originally the real daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, but was replaced by her wet nurse for her own selfish reasons and turned into an ordinary country girl.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she was framed and tortured by the fake green tea daughter Gu Yunjin, and everyone was hostile to her.

She was even married to a foolish and violent prince, and was eventually tortured to death.

After rebirth, Gu Jingchun lay down for two months and decided to have a child first, so that even if the fake daughter plotted, the Marquis's Mansion would not marry her to the stupid prince.

When she has a child and has enough money, even if she lives in another mansion, her life will be happier than it is now.

She didn't want to live a miserable life of serving her parents-in-law and her husband at such a young age, so killing her father and keeping her son was her short-term goal.

And Shen Muqian is the man she chose.

Two months ago, he checked into Gu Jingchun's newly opened inn with injuries.

Even though his clothes were clean and he walked normally, Gu Jingchun could still smell the strong smell of blood on him.

His eyes were cold and a little arrogant, which made her feel an unreasonable desire to conquer him.

Especially the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, which adds a sense of vulnerability to him.

After just one meeting, she decided that this man should be the father of her child.

So, she spent a month treating him and cultivating their relationship, and finally a month later, she used some tricks to successfully win him over.

Afterwards, Shen Muqian looked guilty and promised that he would never let her down. She laughed and agreed. Then, the two of them began their shameless life.

To be honest, this man is really good. Not only is he handsome and knowledgeable, but he also looks thin when he is dressed and has muscular body when he is undressed, and he has an excellent temperament.

After spending a month together, Gu Jingchun has become addicted to it and can't stop.

However, she found the man's possessiveness to be quite scary.

If she said a word to other men, he would get angry and would inevitably torture her severely at night.

If they continued to stay together, she was afraid that it would not be easy to withdraw.

Her period hadn't come yet this month, so Gu Jingchun speculated that she might be pregnant, so there was no need to continue entangled with him.

When Jingchun didn't know how to propose separation calmly, the opportunity came.

On this day, Shen Muqian put on a new set of clothes.

It was new clothes she had never seen before.

The black material had dark patterns on it, and it was obvious that it was very valuable, making his face look even more handsome and noble.

"Qingqing, I'm leaving," he said.

Liu Qingqing is her current name. Whenever he is in a state of passion at night, he will call her over and over again in her ear.

But now he told her, "Qingqing, wait for me to come back. When I come back, I will take you back to my house."

Gu Jingchun paused and caught the loophole in his words.

"Into your house?"

"Become a concubine?"

Shen Muqian paused for a moment. He was always decisive, but he was at a loss for a moment and fell silent.

And in Gu Jingchun's eyes, this silence meant consent.

Gu Jingchun frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the reluctance in her eyes.

Shen Muqian noticed her emotions and wanted to tell her his identity directly, but he was afraid that if he scared her, it might cause trouble and implicate her, so he changed the subject and said:

"My family... has some wealth, and we are considered prominent figures. With your status, it would be difficult for you to become my legal wife."

In reality it will be very difficult.

He held Gu Jingchun's hand and explained to her patiently.

"But, Qingqing, I will definitely find a way. I promise that I will treat you well in the future. You will always be the most important person in my heart."

Gu Jingchun sneered in his heart.

Do you think he's nice to her?

Then she really would have no way to survive in the future.

However, this was also her chance to escape.

Gu Jingchun stood up, his eyes full of anger.

“Shen Muqian, although I am not rich, I have enough food and drink, and my dignity is still there!

I swore long before my mother died that I would rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a rich family."

Shen Muqian also stood up, his brows furrowed, his tone cold.

"Don't be unreasonable. Just be obedient. There will be opportunities in the future!"

"If Chen Lang can't do it, then just leave now. I... will pretend that I've never met you. You and I will say goodbye now!"

Gu Jingchun raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then went to the inner room, closed the door, and continued to shout through the door with a sobbing voice:

"I know Chen Lang is a rare talent, but I can also support myself. From now on, I hope Chen Lang takes care of himself!"

Shen Muqian didn’t expect Gu Jingchun’s reaction to be so big.

He took a few steps forward, intending to calm her down first, and then patiently coax her after he came back. With time, she would surely understand her difficulties.

However, he had just taken a few steps when he heard the urging voices of his men.

"Master, there is an emergency ahead. We can't delay any longer."

Helplessly, he could only take out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, write a letter, and put it on the table. Then he said, "Qingqing, calm down first. I will come back to pick you up."

After saying this, he took a deep look at her closed door before striding away.

Shen Muqian sat high on the horse, looking back at the small houses in the woods, feeling sad.

He thought that when he came back, he would definitely tell her his identity and would never let her suffer any injustice.

Time passes, seasons change, and another spring arrives.

Shen Muqian continued on his journey and finally returned to these small houses after several treks, but what was waiting for him was a desolate room with everything and everyone gone.
