"Is that so?" Liang Yuchen didn't believe what the two concubines said.
But he had no doubt about Qin Susu's abilities.
Qin Susu is certainly capable of doing such a thing.
That woman did things without any rhyme or reason.
Furthermore, how dare she offend the Minister of Rites? The Minister of Rites always has the upper hand over him.
The woman in yellow nodded firmly: "Absolutely true, I would never lie."
The woman in pink added, "Yes, rumors are circulating that our lady and that General Gu..."
"Don't make unfounded assumptions!" Liang Yuchen's face showed anger.
This Qin Susu looked down on him when he was still a scholar, and now she looks down on him even more.
"My lord, even without your wife, you still have me... Please, do me justice, my chest aches." The woman in yellow said, pointing to her chest.
Not to be outdone, the woman in pink gave the woman in yellow a cold glance.
"My lord..." His hands were about to climb onto Liang Yuchen's body
But Liang Yuchen had already gotten up and moved away from the two of them.
"Don't follow me!"
Even if Liang Yuchen were incompetent, he wouldn't let Qin Susu openly cuckold him like that.
He went out and headed to General Gu's residence.
However, they lingered outside the mansion for a long time.
They ultimately did not enter the mansion.
On his way home, he joked to himself that he was currently being tangled up by three women, and his mind wasn't quite clear.
How could he possibly believe the one-sided accounts of his two concubines and conclude that Qin Susu and General Gu had something going on?
He trusted General Gu; his judgment couldn't be that bad.
Qin Susu had no idea how her two aunts were badmouthing her to Liang Yuchen.
All she knew was that she had been living a carefree life at the General's Mansion these past few days.
Moreover, at this moment, she was asking Qiu Ling'er for her opinion on what to wear when she entered the palace tomorrow, and was changing her clothes back and forth.
Qin Susu loved excitement more than anything in her life; she would go wherever there was excitement.
Anyway, I just don't like Liang Yuchen, that taciturn guy.
...
On New Year's Eve, the entire city of Shangjin was bustling and lively.
The general's mansion was also decorated, with strings of large red lanterns hanging everywhere.
Gu Xiaoran sat in front of the bronze mirror, admiring her 'delicate' face, as if she wanted to say goodbye to the past.
Seeing Qiu Yan approaching him with clothes in her arms, he smiled and said:
"Mother, dress me up beautifully tonight, I want to outshine everyone else."
After saying that, he deliberately gestured with his orchid-like fingers towards Qiu Yan.
His clumsy movements made Qiu Yan laugh.
Qiu Yan placed the clothes she was carrying on the bed.
"Xiao Ran, your identity has been exposed. You no longer need to pretend to be a girl."
The same method will eventually be discovered if used too often.
“They have exposed me, but they can’t be sure. After all, I’ve been dressed as a girl all these years.”
Gu Xiaoran couldn't understand how the person in the shadows had noticed her this time.
He didn't even see a shadow of the enemy.
This incident infuriated him.
"Never mind, let's change back into men's clothes." Qiu Yan realized that their conversation was now completely reversed.
"If you appear in women's clothing today, and then change into men's clothing in the future, someone with ulterior motives will surely seize the opportunity to accuse you of deceiving the emperor."
Gu Xiaoran nodded in agreement after hearing this.
His mother always thought about taking precautions.
"Mother is right, He Lin is just that shameless." Because He Lin used his father to threaten him, his impression of He Lin became increasingly worse.
Upon hearing the word 'shameless,' Qiu Yan thought to herself, 'You seem to know him quite well.'
"Xiao Ran, remember not to say things like that carelessly."
"Remember, be careful with your words and actions, and don't give anyone a reason to criticize you. Once you enter the palace, don't wander around freely. Promise me that we'll leave as soon as the banquet is over," Qiu Yan instructed.
"Your child will heed your teachings," Gu Xiaoran replied obediently.
