"Brother Boyuan, is mine bigger or Jiang Luoluo's?" the woman asked coquettishly.
"Of course it's yours. Jiang Luoluo is as thin as a rake, she doesn't even weigh two ounces. What's there to see?"
The woman gave a soft snort, as if displeased, "So, Brother Boyuan really did pinch Jiang Luoluo?"
Gu Boyuan said in a hoarse voice, "Do you think I, a young general, would bother with her? She's just arrogant and domineering because she has a father who is a great general. She has made things difficult for you many times. I've disliked her for a long time. Once she enters the Gu family, I'll teach her a lesson for you."
Will Brother Boyuan marry me?
"You are my darling, who else would I marry if not you? Don't worry, Shiyu, I will definitely marry you into the Gu family with great pomp and circumstance."
"What about Jiang Luoluo?"
"I only married Jiang Luoluo because I value the power of the general behind her. Do you really think I would be interested in a good-for-nothing rich girl like her?"
"Okay, I believe you, Brother Boyuan."
"Alright, it's a deal! Okay, let's not talk about other people during our intimate time together. While the General is sick and can't attend to so many other things, come over these next few nights and let me pamper you properly."
“Okay, Brother Boyuan, I miss you too. The last time was at your engagement party with Jiang Luoluo.”
"Yes, it's been several months, I've missed you so much!"
Then came the sounds of pigs eating and nightingales singing from inside the house.
Inside, the sounds of sheng and xiao filled the air, while outside, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down. Jiang Luoluo overheard the conversation inside perfectly.
Gu Boyuan, her future husband, is also her father's only personally taught disciple.
Yao Shiyu, the only disciple personally taught by Jiang Luoluo's mother, is the second most famous female doctor in the Great Qi Kingdom. She now works as an assistant military doctor alongside Duanmu Ling.
Three days ago, Jiang Luoluo received a letter from home informing her that her parents had suddenly fallen seriously ill. She and her maid, Dingdang, had rushed over on horseback. She had just visited her parents an hour ago. Their condition was very bad; they had recurring high fevers, were constantly shivering, and were in excruciating pain all over their bodies.
Jiang Luoluo's mother, Duanmu Ling, was the number one female physician in the Great Qi Kingdom. She had always accompanied her husband, Jiang Chengfeng, to guard Yunchuan. Her medical skills were extraordinary, but this time, she also fell ill, and many military doctors who had examined her could not find a cure.
Jiang Luoluo had never seen her father so listless. Her father was a renowned general who had always been in good health.
Illness comes slowly and gradually. The gentle and considerate mother who used to take care of others whenever she was sick now looked as if she had aged ten years.
Jiang Luoluo could only hold her parents' hands with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she hated herself for being naughty as a child and not learning medicine properly from her mother.
She was truly desperate and had no one to turn to. She thought of coming to her fiancé, Gu Boyuan, to discuss a solution, but unexpectedly, she ran into that despicable couple as soon as she arrived.
Standing outside the door, Jiang Luoluo was trembling with anger, tears streaming down her face. Her chestnut horse, hearing the seductive voice, seemed impatient, kicking its hoof hard and snorting loudly.
Jiang Luoluo was furious, feeling as if every strand of her hair was standing on end. She kicked open the door, startling Yao Shiyu into screaming. Gu Boyuan reacted quickly, pulling his robe over his shoulders and leaping into the air.
Accompanied by a sharp, piercing cry, "Who?"
Gu Boyuan drew his longsword, aiming it directly at Jiang Luoluo's face.
Jiang Luoluo didn't dodge, letting the long sword, carrying a cold wind, rush towards her face. Dingdang, who had just arrived at the courtyard, saw this and shouted, "Miss!"
As the blade in his hand shot forward, the two blades clashed in mid-air, producing a clanging sound. Gu Boyuan heard the word "Miss" and looked at the person in front of him before abruptly sheathing his sword, exclaiming, "Luo Luo, what brings you here?"
Jiang Luoluo's face was ashen; she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen the moment she saw Gu Boyuan.
This man she loved with her life for over ten years, she begged her father to appoint him as a young general. He went to the border region to fight, and she shamelessly endured the ridicule of the entire capital, going to his home many times to help take care of the family.
His clothes were loose, and his face was flushed with an unnatural redness, a sign of his love for another woman.
Jiang Luoluo chuckled self-deprecatingly, "How would I know you two had already been having an affair if I hadn't come?"
Jiang Luoluo glanced at Yao Shiyu, who was half-wrapped in the quilt and sobbing softly on the bed. She whispered, "Cousin, don't blame Brother Boyuan. It was my initiative. I had no other intentions. I will take good care of Brother Boyuan with you and I will never compete with you for the position of the main wife."
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears again, and then, as if by accident, pulled the blanket down to reveal the faint red mark on her fair collarbone—a victory badge she was showing off.
Jiang Luoluo felt disgusted just looking at him. She felt cold all over and was about to collapse. Jiang Luoluo thought that she could talk to Gu Boyuan to come up with some ways to save her parents, and maybe Yao Shiyu could also have some ideas.
But now, she hates herself for being blind!
Gu Boyuan hurriedly dropped the sharp blade in his hand and tried to step forward to help Jiang Luoluo up, but Jiang Luoluo took a step back and glared at Gu Boyuan fiercely, "Take your filthy hands away."
Dingdang ran over and helped Jiang Luoluo up. Gu Boyuan awkwardly withdrew his hand and stammered, "Luoluo, I didn't, I..."
The lightning, as bright as day, seemed to tear the night sky apart. Jiang Luoluo felt dizzy and her heart ached as if it had been struck by a blunt object.
In the flash of lightning, her thin face was clearly visible, still bearing mottled tear stains. In an instant, a mouthful of sweet liquid rushed into her mouth, and with a spit, blood splattered everywhere.
Gu Boyuan's face was sprayed with water. He wiped it off with his hand and saw Dingdang shouting, "Miss, Miss!"
Jiang Luoluo had already collapsed to the ground. Gu Boyuan stepped forward and said, "I'll carry her inside to rest for a while."
Dingdang looked up, her eyes flashing with anger, and roared, "Get out!"
Then Dingdang scooped up Jiang Luoluo, put the straw hat on her head, and braved the torrential rain to leap onto her chestnut horse and gallop away.
No one noticed that in the darkness, Yao Shiyu's eyes were sinister, and she revealed a smug smile.
So what if she's the daughter of a great general? She'll take everything Jiang Luoluo has.
In her previous life, Jiang Luoluo was crushed under her feet like an ant. In this life, Yao Shiyu has been reborn and returned. Killing Jiang Luoluo is as easy as turning her hand.
Yes, all of this was arranged by Yao Shiyu. A few days ago, she sent a letter to Jiang Luoluo, informing her of her parents' critical condition.
Jiang Luoluo has come to Yunchuan, and she will definitely come to find Gu Boyuan. Everything that happened tonight is what Yao Shiyu wants Jiang Luoluo to see.
What do you mean by "unmarried woman"? Yao Shiyu is determined to ensure that Jiang Luoluo will never be allowed to enter the Gu family.
Yao Shiyu looked at the man still standing at the door. This man loved her to the core in her previous life, but in the end, she...
In this life, she will definitely not let herself repeat the same mistakes. It's not too late!
Yao Shiyu groped her way into her clothes in the dark. Barefoot on the cold floor, she came up behind Gu Boyuan, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered remorsefully, "I'm sorry, Brother Boyuan. It was all a moment of impulse. I shouldn't have come to you tonight."
