Chapter 4: Not Eating Buns and Killing Bugs
A deep and indelible viciousness and coldness suddenly flashed across Gu Yuwei's eyes.
She leaned close to Gu Yuexuan's ear and whispered softly, "I really underestimated Tu Subo's dedication to you. If I hadn't anticipated this, you might have really run away from him with the divorce letter."
After hearing this, Gu Yuexuan felt a sense of inexplicable confusion in her heart, and she couldn't help but glance in the direction of Tu Subo.
"What is his intention?" she asked.
Gu Yuwei was obviously angry. She leaned close to Gu Yuexuan's ear again and said in a deeper voice, "Tu Subo's eyes have been blinded by prejudice, but you shouldn't have any improper thoughts about Prince Duan."
"How dare you, with your insignificant body, flirt with Prince Duan and even try to get him to take you as his concubine? You should have foreseen your fate!"
"You deserve to be buried in Fangling with Tu Subo!"
These words seemed to have touched the original owner's deepest memory, instantly igniting Gu Yuexuan's uncontrollable anger.
Seeing that the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was gradually declining, Gu Yuwei couldn't wait to cast her greedy eyes on the position of Princess Duan.
However, although the original owner was as timid as a mouse, she had a stunning appearance. Prince Duan only took a quick glance at her and had the idea of taking her as his concubine.
The original owner had no decision-making power over her own marriage, and she couldn't even step into the threshold of Prince Duan's Mansion. However, Gu Yuwei had long heard that the Tu Su family was about to face a catastrophe, but she still coldly gave her a bowl of love potion and forced her to marry into the Marquis' Mansion.
She even bribed Eunuch Ying to tear her divorce letter into pieces!
This extremely cruel behavior is really interesting!
Gu Yuexuan narrowed her eyes and gave a sly smile.
She suddenly raised her voice, with an undeniable firmness in it: "Dear elder sister, please rest assured. I know that the person you care about most is Tu Subo. That Prince Duan misunderstood your deep affection and insisted on taking you into the palace, forcing you and Tu Subo, the lovers, to say goodbye in tears. When you are promoted to Princess Duan, I will take good care of Tu Subo and live up to your trust! And Tu Subo will also remember your deep friendship and kindness in coming to see him off."
"Gu Yuexuan! What nonsense are you talking about..."
"I will keep my word and will never let the one you love suffer any injustice! Prince Duan is a trustworthy partner. You will surely be happy to spend the rest of your life with him. Tu Subo understands your feelings and will not bear any grudge against you!"
Gu Yuexuan's voice was extremely loud. After shouting, she turned around and sped away.
However, the ripples stirred up by this string of words were extremely strong.
The members of the Tu Su family present all looked haggard and turned their heads back. Tears were hanging in the corners of their eyes, but their faces were filled with surprise.
The passersby were all excited when they heard this. One old man couldn't help but slap his thigh and sighed loudly, "Oh, I told you long ago that the eldest daughter of the Gu family and the young master of the Tu Su family were in love and got along well. How come the new bride is a bastard? It turns out that Prince Duan is secretly manipulating this!"
Gu Yuexuan nodded excitedly: "Yes, that's right!"
Gu Yuwei was speechless at this moment. Faced with this sudden accusation, she could only glare at Gu Yuexuan angrily, and fled back to her carriage with a grim face.
The Gu family's motorcade drove away quickly. Gu Yuexuan gently patted the bulge in her sleeves and smiled with a smug smile.
I thought to myself: Let’s see how you go back and explain to Prince Duan that you have someone else in your heart, and how can I continue to be your Princess Duan!
Having successfully forced Gu Yuwei to flee in panic, Gu Yuexuan finally vented the anger in her heart.
She reluctantly walked to the group of people being exiled from the Tu Su family. When she looked up, the first thing that caught her eye was Tu Subo's pale face without a trace of blood.
Driven by irrepressible curiosity, Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but ask softly: "Are you...are you okay?"
Tu Subo's face was as cold as a stone sculpture, and his voice was emotionless as he said, "There is no deep friendship between her and me."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes widened: "Hmm?"
However, Tu Subo seemed to have suddenly lost his voice and stopped talking.
He lifted up the still unconscious old marquis and walked forward with his head held high. Gu Yuexuan smacked her lips and, without saying anything, began her arduous trek towards Fangling under the scorching sun.
As night fell, they had to camp outdoors. The nobles of the Tusu family, who had never experienced hardship, kept crying and complaining!
Gu Yuexuan held the dry and hard steamed bun tightly in her hand and swallowed it with difficulty.
It's hard to find food in this wilderness, so how can you be picky?
She was too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs, but Tu Subo couldn't stay out of it.
He kept walking back and forth among the crying crowd, appearing extremely busy.
Before Gu Yuexuan had completely swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, a water bag suddenly appeared at her feet.
Tu Subo casually threw the water bag on the ground and turned to leave. He half-knelt down and picked up the steamed bun that had been discarded on the ground.
He gently brushed off the dust on the steamed bun, then took out another clean steamed bun from his arms and handed it to the old lady.
"Grandma, the journey is still long. Please try a few bites of food."
"Can this thing be called food?"
The old lady waved her hands angrily, slammed the table, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat! Send someone to change the food immediately!"
The steamed bun in Tu Subo's hand hung in the air for a long time without moving, and finally he just showed a bitter smile.
"There's nothing else to eat."
"Then I'll just starve to death!"
An unfathomable emotion flashed across Tu Subo's face, and at this moment, another scream came from his mother's side.
"Ah! There are bugs here!"
"Bo'er, there are bugs here!"
Tu Subo put down the steamed bun in his hand and hurried to deal with the insects.
After the insects were dealt with, Xi Lanfang continued to cry while holding her two young children. Tu Subo comforted her with a few words and then hurried to check on the old marquis.
The sun was setting, but the old marquis still hadn't woken up.
Gu Yuexuan finished eating the steamed bun, while Tu Subo was still running around.
After pondering for a moment, she picked up the water bag and walked towards Tu Subo.
To be honest, apart from causing her to be innocently implicated and exiled, Tu Subo did not do anything unfair to her.
He also covered for her when she "robbed" Gu Yuwei.
It's just a favor, it's not difficult.
"Let's drink some water first."
Everyone was extremely tired. Even if Tu Subo was full of energy, he was not an iron wall after all. How long could he hold on without food or water?
Tu Subo was half-crouching on the ground, his reaction seemed a little slow. When he heard the call, he shook his head vigorously, as if trying to dispel the drowsiness.
When he raised his head and saw that it was Gu Yuexuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then his gaze became extremely blurred.
Gu Yuexuan sensed something was wrong and felt a surge of unease. "Are you... okay?"
"fine……"
Bang!
With a dull sound, dust flew up.
Tu Subo suddenly coughed violently, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth like a fountain. His body fell heavily to the ground, and the scene was extremely horrifying.
