A sharp crack came from the plum blossom grove. Empress Dowager Du was so angry that she swept her hand across, knocking all the teacups to the ground.
Several old women knelt down on the ground, trembling with fear, especially Rong Momo, who seemed to have survived a disaster.
As the matter was nearing its end, the Prince of Yan glanced menacingly behind the Buddha statue, and at that moment, Rong Momo felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
One after another, Empress Dowager Du spat fiercely.
A few days ago, Jiang Yuelan was imprisoned in Yuanhua Temple, so she listened to Lu Baimei's bad idea.
Jiang Yuelan wanted to get into the Prince of Yan's bed to find another way out for herself, but little did she know that she had only delivered meals to the Prince of Yan a few times.
She was discovered by the spies that Empress Dowager Du had planted in Yuanhua Temple, and later Empress Dowager Du sent people to get rid of Jiang Yuelan.
Having just dealt with Jiang Yuelan, another woman, Madam Gu, has appeared. Moreover, it's quite obvious that Madam Gu is the Prince of Yan's type, as the Prince of Yan is exceptionally enthusiastic towards her.
Empress Dowager Du didn't care; she was willing to do anything, even harm her son, for him.
Now the Prince of Yan is eating what's in his bowl while eyeing what's in the pot; what does he take her for?
This time, Rong Momo was really frightened and dared not advise the Empress Dowager anymore.
Empress Dowager Du's gaze was cold, and her eyes seemed to blaze with a murderous fire.
Before long, she waved her hand, and a man in black landed at her feet. She gritted her teeth and gave the man in black a few orders.
The man in black obeyed the order and soon disappeared into the plum blossom forest, which resembled a blanket of white snow.
Having received the Prince of Yan's permission, Madam Gu happily drove her carriage back to the capital.
However, her carriage and she never made it back to the capital.
The next morning, villagers discovered that Madam Gu's carriage had malfunctioned and had fallen from the high official road into the Huimin River, along with the carriage itself.
Madam Gu, the coachman, and the horse were all crushed by the carriage and drowned in the Huimin River.
Upon receiving the news, Gu Boyuan arrived at the banks of the Huimin River in a daze. He had lost his father at a young age.
His mother raised him single-handedly, and he had a very deep bond with her.
Unexpectedly, his mother, who had been gently asking him yesterday if he had encountered any difficulties, was now a cold corpse.
He knelt by the river, weeping uncontrollably.
Although Yao Shiyu disliked her mother-in-law, she was still saddened by Madam Gu's death.
This way of dying is very similar to her mother's; it comes suddenly and silently, as if someone had deliberately murdered her.
Gu Boyuan cried until he fainted, and Yao Shiyu started frantically helping him again.
Madam Gu's body was transported back to the Gu residence, and Gu Boyuan began to arrange his mother's funeral.
Yao Shiyu stayed by his side the whole time, and this was when Gu Boyuan was at his most vulnerable.
Although they had a falling out a few days ago, as long as she was with him at this time, he would remember Yao Shiyu's kindness.
In just a few days, Gu Boyuan lost a lot of weight, his stubble grew long, and he looked listless and slovenly.
Yao Shiyu handed him a steaming bowl of rice, saying, "Brother Boyuan, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."
You haven't eaten properly for days; your body won't be able to handle it. You should at least eat something.
Gu Boyuan suddenly slammed the rice onto the ground. "Are you satisfied now?"
His eyes were bloodshot. "Yao Shiyu, my mother is dead. Are you satisfied now?"
Yao Shiyu was baffled by the question. The scalding hot food landed on her palms and the backs of her hands, burning her fair skin and turning it red instantly.
Normally, Gu Boyuan would have been heartbroken, but now he didn't even glance at her.
Yao Shiyu followed him around busily, not only without offering a single word of comfort, but now she was also taking her anger out on her.
Yao Shiyu felt extremely wronged. Her eyes were red. "Gu Boyuan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I didn't kill your mother, so why are you taking your anger out on her?"
Gu Boyuan suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yao Shiyu by the neck, and sneered, "My mother is dead, so I can give you the position of Tengyan Wang's wife!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Shiyu felt a thunderous roar in her head. How could Gu Boyuan know?
Moreover, those were things from his previous life. Could it be that Jiang Luoluo told him about them?
No wonder Gu Boyuan's personality has changed drastically recently, and his attitude towards her has completely turned around.
He never touched her again, and always slept in the study. Every time she tried to hold his hand, he would yell, "Get your filthy hands off me!"
Seeing the look of terror in Yao Shiyu's eyes, Gu Boyuan became even angrier and increased the force in his hand.
Yao Shiyu was squeezed so tightly she couldn't breathe, tears streaming down her face. "Boyuan...brother...I...I have never...thought of betraying you in this life..."
You...believe...me
She managed to finish speaking haltingly with great effort, and Gu Boyuan eased his grip.
Yao Shiyu was able to gasp for breath, but she dared not breathe for too long.
She hurriedly said, "Brother Boyuan, that was in my previous life, I was bewitched."
In this life, I only want to make it up to you. You are the only one in my eyes and heart. Can't you feel it?
As for the Prince of Yan, do you think someone like him, who only has the throne in his eyes, would really like a woman?
In my past life, I was merely a pawn in his game.
Seeing Gu Boyun dejectedly lower his hand, Yao Shiyu quickly squatted down and picked up Gu Boyuan's sword.
With a whoosh, she drew her sword and handed it to Gu Boyuan. "Brother Boyuan, in my past life, I owed you a life."
In this life, I repay you.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she forced a smile and gestured to her chest, "Come on, stab me here, you don't believe me anyway."
Today, I will return this life to you!
Gu Boyuan slowly picked up the sword and took a step forward. Yao Shiyu also turned slightly to the side and took a small step forward.
Before Gu Boyuan could react, she took another big step, and her arm struck the sword.
Blood dripped slowly down his dress, and Gu Boyuan was stunned. He just wanted to vent his anger.
He hadn't expected Yao Shiyu to actually do it, and he hurriedly dropped the sword in fright. "How could you be so foolish, Shiyu?"
Yao Shiyu clutched her aching arm and said pitifully, "Brother Boyuan, I would give you my life, how could I lie to you!"
In my past life, I was the one who wronged you!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yao Shiyu fainted from the pain.
Gu Boyuan rushed forward and hugged Yao Shiyu tightly. "Shiyu, I don't blame you anymore. I don't blame you anymore. Please wake up."
I just lost my mother, I can't lose you too!
Nestled in his arms, Yao Shiyu's lips curled into a smile. She had made the right bet; Gu Boyuan simply couldn't bear to see her die.
Yao Shiyu thought to herself, "Jiang Luoluo, no matter what kind of seductive tricks you used to temporarily bewitch Brother Boyuan, it doesn't matter."
He will always stand by her side!
