Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The Unpresentable Concubine
"I have no intention of disrupting your life and your wife's. You don't need to worry too much. Now that I'm almost well again, I'll grant you leave. Go home and rest for a few days, and spend more time with your... wife."
Although Gu Shi appeared to be very polite on the outside, he was actually making plans in his heart.
To be honest, there is not much meaning in love affairs between men and women. You will get bored after doing it a few times. Instead of forcing them to separate, it is better to let them stay together for a few more days. First, the novelty will disappear after staying together for too long. Second, you will always find faults in each other after spending a long time together.
No matter how good a person is, there are bound to be some annoying aspects about them, and there will always be quarrels after being together for a long time.
Not to mention that I would get in the way from time to time...
There's no need for him to resort to any tricks, because he will definitely not be able to bear it by then.
When Qin Sizhao heard Gu Shi personally admit that Tao Jinrong was his wife, and said it so politely, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. His eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Suddenly, Gu Shi's expression became somewhat sorrowful, revealing some of the secret thoughts that he had tried so hard to hide. He said:
"Whatever happened between me and Tao Jinrong, it was all my fault. Don't let it alienate her, and don't blame her for it."
After saying that, Gu Shi pretended to casually reveal a scar under his sleeve.
“…”
Qin Sizhao lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, and only responded casually.
What a wicked person, he is obviously of noble birth, but his body is lower than anyone else's. He can only pretend to be pitiful and sow discord. He doesn't care about such a presentable little mistress who is not worthy of being in the public eye.
Since Gu Shi generously gave him leave, Qin Sizhao took the death penalty order and went home.
Tao Jinrong was surprised to see him come back so soon, and walked out evasively, but when she walked in front of him, she reached out to hold his hand again.
"Rong'er, he gave me a pardon. You can rest assured and don't have to worry about me every day."
"Um."
She nodded, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him again to cover up her guilty conscience.
Tao Jinrong pursed her lips nervously, looking into his concerned eyes, her heart filled with guilt. She felt that the person she felt most sorry for was Qin Sizhao. He treated her the best, but she could not return his love in exactly the same, without reservation.
The lust aroused during the day mixed with the guilt. She lowered her eyes secretly, took his hand and dragged him into the bedroom, untied his belt, and gave him all her passion.
He didn't notice her guilt or guilty conscience, he just felt that she wanted to be intimate with him, so he tried every means to satisfy her and sucked a red mark under her collarbone.
After that, he held her in his arms as usual, leaning over and chatting with her in her ear.
For some reason, she was very absent-minded today. He said three sentences before she responded with one.
She just stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if all the emotions in her eyes had frozen, and the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes wet her hair.
Until he heard a cruel word from her mouth:
"A Zhao, how about we get divorced?"
Tao Jinrong uttered these words as if he had been hit hard by someone, and then covered his face in shame.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Sizhao thought of what Gu Shi had said to him during the day, and felt a little angry for a moment, so he asked:
"Is it related to Gu Shi?"
"Yes...I feel I'm sorry for you..."
"Why, you still want to give such a low-class guy a name? Am I not even worthy of being your husband? Now that things have come to this, you think I'm in the way, right?"
"No, how could I possibly miss you so much?"
Qin Sizhao turned his back and refused to say another word.
They were obviously doing fine together before, how could she say such things to him? Was it too much for him to want to be her husband? How could she treat him so cold-bloodedly?
"A Zhao, don't be angry..."
She hugged his waist from behind with grievance.
Seeing her trying to comfort him, he couldn't keep ignoring her, so he said:
"Are you still going to talk about divorce?"
"Never again."
Qin Sizhao turned around, his peach blossom eyes drooped, with a hint of grievance in his eyes, and his eye whites slightly red.
There was always a layer of water in his eyes, and now that he frowned slightly, the watery light became even more intense, reflecting a faint layer of colorful light.
"Rong'er, why did you bring up the matter of divorce? Are you tired of me?"
"I... I just feel that marrying me would be unfair to you... You also know how crazy Gu Shi is... I... I..."
Tao Jinrong felt his tongue stumble in his mouth. Unable to hold back any longer, he confessed everything in one breath.
"Gu Shi came to me today... and forced me to have sex with him... and him... He said that if I didn't agree, he would hang himself in my house and keep me awake every night... I was so scared when I thought of a hanged ghost, but I didn't want to listen to him, so I thought of a way to get him out."
"Did you see the wound on his wrist? He was going to perform a wrist-cutting act for me... What a lunatic!"
As she spoke, she shrank into the quilt guiltily. A gust of cold wind blew, and she couldn't help shivering.
"A Zhao, what do you think I should do?"
After saying this, Tao Jinrong felt a little ashamed. It was clearly a dispute between her and Gu Shi, but she threw this problem to Qin Sizhao, which was really wrong.
"Forget it, Ah Zhao, don't worry about it... I... I'll figure out a solution myself. No one else can understand his affairs."
Qin Sizhao reached out and wiped the tears from her face and asked:
"Rong'er, will this hurt you?"
"He cut his wrists and strangled himself... His flesh is on his body, not mine, so why should I feel pain? I'm just annoyed. Besides, don't you still have me? How can I feel pain when you're here?"
Qin Sizhao breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't suffer any actual harm. Gu Shi was a bit like a silver-plated spear head, crazy and weak.
What he was most worried about was that Gu Shi would beat her and force her to do something. Fortunately, he still had some conscience. If Gu Shi really did something to hurt her, he would have no choice but to use any means necessary and find an opportunity to poison him to death without anyone knowing.
He turned over, hugged her and said:
"We're just unlucky... Husband and wife have to face everything together. My destiny in this life can only be with you. I've already decided on you. No matter what, please don't mention divorce again, okay?"
Tao Jinrong trembled violently in his arms. Did he mean... that he agreed...
Indeed, if he wanted to continue being her husband, this was the only way, but it was so unfair to him that she could only treat him better with a guilty conscience.
The next day, Tao Jinrong took Qin Sizhao's hand, put on a veil to avoid being recognized, and went out shopping with him eagerly.
The two of them wandered around, chatting and laughing, and only went home when they were tired.
Jinzhan stood in the yard and ordered people to carry the things sent by Gu Shi into the house one by one.
"Girl, autumn has arrived. His Majesty has sent you several winter clothes and some autumn clothes. Would you like to try them on?"
Tao Jinrong frowned. This Gu Shi really had to annoy people from time to time. He said:
"It's not like I can't live anymore. I'm too lazy to try."
Qin Sizhao said nothing and looked at Jinzhan with a slight warning.
He was somewhat disgusted with this maid who had been with her for a long time. She subconsciously regarded Gu Shi as Tao Jinrong's husband, and always felt that the concubine who was not worthy of being in public and his wife were a perfect match. He could see this.
Not to mention that she would often advise her to break up with him and go find Gu Shi to "reconcile".
It's ridiculous.
He took her hand and said:
"Rong'er, it's okay. Clothes are just clothes. You should wear better clothes in winter. Try them on."
"Don't worry, let's wait until the weather gets cooler."
For several days, Gu Shi did not come to disturb their normal life, and their life was extremely peaceful and beautiful.
Jinzhan held the cat and sat on the stone block, sighing boredly. The two of them were happy, but she was suffering here. When would these days end?
Fortunately, there is quite a bit of money... Well, just bear with it for the sake of the money.
Originally, she was still wondering when Qin Sizhao would divorce Tao Jinrong, but now the two of them were so inseparable that there was no sign of them wanting to divorce. She was still a little surprised.
But think about it, in the past, Qin Sizhao had to hide from her to have an affair with her, but now he has become her legal husband and sleeps with Tao Jinrong openly. Why should he give up the status he has worked so hard to earn?
Now there is someone else who has to hide and have an affair.
Jinzhan rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to watch such a big show. However, Tao Jinrong looked much happier than before. Although a little weird, he looked happy.
After a few days, Gu Shi finally lost his patience and got Qin Sizhao a job of training imperial physicians. Qin Sizhao knew exactly what he was up to, so he put on a fake smile when he saw him. Gu Shi just put on a polite smile and treated him courteously.
Now it was autumn, and Qin Sizhao had been deliberately sent away. She could only sleep alone with two pillows, always feeling that her pillows were empty.
Looking at the ceiling, Tao Jinrong felt confused.
There is no doubt that she loves Qin Sizhao and Qin Sizhao also loves her. She thought that she and Gu Shi were completely over, but there was still a part of her body that still remembered him.
Am I really going to continue living in this muddled state...?
With a creak, the door opened. Tao Jinrong was startled and immediately sat up from the bed.
Gu Shi walked in with his hair loose, like a ghost.
"Tao Jinrong, have you made up your mind?"
