Chapter 46 You'll Regret It in the Future
Yunxi was only surprised for a moment before continuing to walk past her without stopping. Just as the two were about to pass each other, Xu Shulan suddenly called out to Yunxi:
"Stop right there, I want to talk to you."
Although Yunxi knew she wouldn't say anything nice, she was also curious about what she wanted to talk about. So she stopped and turned around to signal her to speak quickly.
Xu Shulan was furious at Gu Nanxiao's arrogant attitude. Lately, she kept replaying the scene in her mind where Gu Nanxiao held her in his arms, yet mocked her.
She was clearly Gu Nanxiao's fiancée, she was clearly the one who should be cherished by Gu Nanxiao, but it was all because of this bitch that she stole her beloved Xiao Lang away.
Ever since Xu Shulan learned that she could marry Gu Nanxiao, she has worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the virtues of womanhood, all in order to please her future husband.
Unexpectedly, her future husband repeatedly slapped her in public for the sake of a lowly maid. He even tried to discourage her by refusing to marry him.
Xu Shulan admitted that she had indeed suffered a great blow that day, but at the same time, it also aroused her strong resentment. She would not give up like this, and she refused to believe that she was inferior to a servant girl.
Xu Shulan forcibly suppressed her anger and said in a condescending tone, "Since Xiao Lang likes you, I can give you some face. After I marry into the family, I will arrange for Xiao Lang to give you a concubine."
But I hope you will behave yourself and not become arrogant because of my favor. Do not take Xiao Lang's temporary infatuation with you as a crutch. You should understand the principle that those who rely on their looks will find their favor waning as their beauty fades..."
Yunxi, too lazy to listen to her long-winded explanation, interrupted Xu Shulan and asked directly, "So? What do you want from me?"
Xu Shulan first described Yunxi's precarious situation, and then offered her the rank of a concubine. She came to offer benefits for no reason, clearly indicating that she had something she couldn't do herself and wanted Yunxi's help.
Xu Shulan's thoughts were exposed, and a flash of panic crossed her face, but after a moment, she regained her composure and, maintaining her haughty demeanor, said:
"What a joke! How could I possibly beg you? I'm just giving you a chance; you should be grateful and accept it..."
Yunxi was too lazy to argue with her and waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Xu Shulan's words were repeatedly interrupted by the maid she looked down upon. She thought bitterly that she would definitely sell her to a brothel in the future, so that this slut would be ridden by thousands and trampled by tens of thousands of men.
But right now, she really has to help him achieve this, since she can't even see Gu Nanxiao right now, let alone develop feelings for him over time.
So, despite her displeasure, Xu Shulan forced herself to suppress her anger and said, "You should often persuade Xiao Lang to get closer to his fiancée, so that you will have a good life in the future."
"I'll give you one chance tonight. Find a way to persuade Xiao Lang to let me meet him."
For a moment, Yunxi felt sorry for the woman opposite her. She wanted to see Gu Nanxiao, and she had to beg her, her rival in love, for help.
But if she genuinely wants something, even if I don't help her, I'll at least give her a friendly look. After all, life is already hard enough for women, so why make things difficult for each other?
But Xu Shulan insisted on putting on this air of being able to control the life and death of others, as if she had already become Gu Nanxiao's legal wife, and if she, a lowly concubine who made a living under his command, dared to disobey, she would not be spared.
Yunxi usually doesn't look down on anyone, but Xu Shulan's cowardly, hypocritical behavior really doesn't earn her any respect.
Yunxi finally understood her intentions completely. She snorted coldly without any mercy and asked, "Is it really that simple to just meet him? Should I take you to his bed to sleep for the night?"
Xu Shulan had never heard such vulgar and blunt words before. Her face instantly changed from yellow to red, from red to white, from white to green, and from green to black. It was like a spilled palette, a riot of colors.
Her eyes, as if coated with venom, glared fiercely at Yunxi, and she said through gritted teeth, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't regret it in the future!"
Yunxi clicked her tongue, dismissing Xu Shulan's warning with disdain. After watching Xu Shulan leave, she continued walking back.
She had only taken a few steps when she was stopped in the road by the Gu brothers, Gu Nanwen and Gu Nanwu, who were walking briskly behind her.
As soon as the two approached, they tried to tear at Yunxi's clothes. She dodged them by sidestepping.
Seeing that Yunxi still dared to resist, the two men threatened her, saying, "If you obediently submit to us brothers, we will let you suffer less, and we will take good care of you in the future."
You probably don't know this, do you? Our elder brother has a serious illness. If anyone touches his things, he'll never want them again.
When he was a child, his father gave him a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud. He loved it so much that he even slept with it. One day, my brother and I stole it from him, played with it, and then he never wanted it again.
The same goes for the items, and for you too. After today, even if he likes you a lot, he won't leave you with a worthless piece of trash. So you'd better not be ungrateful, or don't blame us for being impolite.
Yunxi wasn't flustered. After all, she had some martial arts skills, although she couldn't defeat people with profound internal strength like Gu Nanxiao and Mo Yu. But dealing with two incompetent fools by surprise was more than enough.
More than all this nonsense, Yunxi wanted to confirm whether their attempts to take advantage of her were related to Xu Shulan. She refused to believe it was such a coincidence that these two brothers had come looking for her right after their conversation with Xu Shulan had fallen apart.
So, while dodging the two brothers' grabbing hands, Yunxi pretended to be somewhat panicked and asked, "Did Miss Xu send you? Just because I didn't agree to help her, you're going to conspire to ruin me?"
Gu Nanwu was about to answer when Gu Nanwen stopped him with a look. He smiled lewdly and coaxed, "If you serve us brothers well, we'll tell you everything."
Yunxi was very dissatisfied with them; they were using their brains where they shouldn't. Since she couldn't get any information out of them, it wasn't worth wasting time on them.
Yunxi deliberately staggered, creating an opening for them. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, she delivered two swift elbow strikes to Gu Nanwen and Gu Nanwu's jaws, instantly putting them to sleep.
After the two brothers fell to the ground, Yunxi inadvertently caught sight of two extremely offensive spots. She really wanted to kick them hard and cut off their manhood!
Just as she was feeling frustrated at not being able to get a proper revenge, Gu Nanxiao suddenly appeared beside her. However, Gu Nanxiao didn't say a word, but pulled her and hid behind the artificial hill.
A moment later, Yunxi heard a series of hurried footsteps. The first person to speak was a rather young female voice:
"Father, please hurry. I just saw it over there. My eldest brother's concubine was seducing my second and third brothers."
