Chapter 110 Sincerity
Gu Wanru couldn't help but blurt out: "They won't kill you, so how dare they hurt you?"
What's more, the little bitch might always be using the title of Young Madam, which makes me angry just thinking about it.
"Sister, your guess is correct."
Gu Huan smiled faintly.
"After my sister pushed me out to replace you, I might have been suffocated in a box, thrown into a theater and my innocence might have been ruined. I almost drowned when I fell into a pond while escaping, and I almost fell off a cliff when I was caught by the criminals and fought to the death. I might have died. The injuries on my body are not limited to my legs and hands. Do you want to take a look, sister?"
Gu Huan spoke slowly and all she said was the truth.
The voice was very calm.
But Gu Wanru was frightened when she heard it.
Those criminals were going to catch her!
She also heard the resentment in Gu Huan's tone and clenched her handkerchief even tighter.
The moment the little bitch and her father-in-law walked in, she sensed the little bitch's ill intentions.
Her father-in-law was already dissatisfied with her and had even said he wanted to divorce her.
The little bitch used all sorts of seduction to make her father-in-law infatuated with her, and he didn't even see that she was trying to climb up the social ladder.
She was so embarrassed that she tried to pull the corners of her mouth: "How dare those damned criminals harm you to this extent..."
"Sister, Jin Kui died so tragically, why did you kill her?"
Gu Huan turned around and said these words, scaring Gu Wanru so much that she almost lost her legs.
"She has been with me for so many years, how could I kill her? The criminals killed her by mistake when they were trying to take her away."
Gu Huan watched her trying to argue, her face no longer maintaining her usual gentle and virtuous look, and she sneered in her heart.
"Manslaughter by mistake? Ah, I wonder if Biyu is okay?"
Every word pierced Gu Wanru's heart, frightening her to death.
Mu Junyan seemed not to have heard the tit-for-tat between the two sisters. He sat down calmly, put Gu Huan's injured hand in his big palm, and pushed her palm away to avoid pressing on the wound.
Is this a blatant way of telling her that her father-in-law wants to adopt her?
Gu Wanru was shocked and aggrieved. She was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. She simply knelt down and cried.
"Father, she is my sister. Please give some face to the Wenchang Marquisate."
"What do you mean, sister?"
Gu Huan pretended to be surprised.
Gu Wanru was so angry at the little bitch's shameless pretense that she couldn't even cry.
He could only wipe his tears with his handkerchief, not responding to her words, and choked up, "Father, if my daughter-in-law's step-sister becomes your woman and my daughter-in-law's step-mother, how can you let Wenchang Marquis's Mansion and my daughter-in-law face others?"
Mu Junyan said slowly: "The Wenchang Marquis' Mansion has accepted my betrothal gift, and your father is willing to call me son-in-law. Do you want to go against the wishes of your father and father-in-law?"
Gu Huan's eyes widened suddenly.
bride price?
Her father calls him son-in-law?
He was so serious about...taking a concubine?
Gu Wanru could no longer hold back her tears, and her face was torn into pieces.
No, we can’t let the little bitch succeed!
She kowtowed hard to the ground with a bang, and Gu Huan felt the pain just watching.
I really am willing to do that.
"Father……"
"Huan'er and I came here together today because Huan'er is your sister, so I give you enough respect."
Gu Wanru's words of threatening to commit suicide were stuck in her throat.
Huan'er, what a sweet voice you sound.
Mu Junyan looked at Gu Huan and said gently, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, go back and have a good rest."
Gu Huan nodded obediently, and was helped to stand up by Mu Junyan. She was almost held in his arms, and they walked out slowly together.
Gu Wanru, with a big red and swollen bump on his forehead, was left kneeling on the ground alone.
Gu Huan originally wanted to see how Gu Wanru would face her, but she didn't expect Mu Junyan to respect her so much.
The two walked in silence, with Donghua and Dongqing lagging far behind.
When you walk to a secluded area in the back garden.
“Master…”
Gu Huan really couldn't stand this kind of silence, and she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth.
Thanks?
Too pale.
"I should say sorry to you."
Mu Junyan’s words stunned Gu Huan. She stopped and looked up at him.
The man's eyes were deep, but sincere.
"Because I admitted that the person who saved me was Gu Wanru, you have suffered for many years."
Gu Huan shook her head and choked up, "It was I who didn't keep the jade pendant properly, how can I blame you, Master?"
Mu Junyan seemed to have been holding back for a long time. He did not respond to Gu Huan's words and continued to speak on his own: "It was my failure to take responsibility for you in time, which put you in a dilemma."
Gu Huan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It was clearly her who deliberately seduced him, so why was he apologizing instead?
So what should she say?
"In order to give you an explanation, I want to give you a status, but I can't give you the position of the main wife. You are the legitimate daughter, but you can only be a concubine."
Mu Junyan stared at her: "Gu Huan, I'll ask you one last time, are you really willing to marry me as your concubine? Even if I could die in battle at any time. Don't you regret it?"
If she hesitates, Mu Junyan will give her the divorce letter he has prepared tomorrow.
If she is sincere, he is willing to use the Duke's Mansion to protect her for the rest of her life.
Gu Huan was stunned.
Supported by his strong arms, Gu Huan felt his sincerity and could not help herself. Her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
If he didn't ask, even if the wedding was held and she officially became the only woman of Duke Yong, she would guard the Duke's Mansion for him and be filial to the old lady on his behalf.
But her heart is still her own.
She was wrapped in a thick shell and was unwilling to break.
But he confirmed it with her again and again.
After what happened last night, and how he confirmed it so solemnly today, how could she still selfishly hold on to her original intention?
Along the way, she didn't pay anything, it was all due to Mu Junyan's kindness to her.
She has always tried hard to keep her true heart, because she was deeply hurt in her previous life and was afraid of letting a man touch her true heart.
Secondly, Mu Junyan would never be able to come back after going to the Western Regions this time. She was afraid that she would lose it just after she got it, and she would be sad.
However, in her dark life, the straw that she thought she was grasping at became a ray of light in her life, gradually expanding in her heart and filling it up.
His frank and unconditional protection of her turned into nutrients, and the love that was nurtured finally sprouted.
Gu Huan knew that if she said today that she was really willing, it would mean that both parties really agreed, and then she would have to give her true heart and fight to the death!
At this moment, she suddenly no longer felt that anxiety of gain and loss.
"Master...I really want to."
She saw a flash of surprise in Mu Junyan's eyes.
The hand that was holding her exerted a little force, then released it: "Okay, tomorrow..."
"Master, Miss Gu." A maid came running over hurriedly.
They both looked over.
The maid bowed and said, "Marquis Wenchang and Aunt Pei are here. They want to see Miss Gu right away."
Gu Huan hurriedly glanced at Mu Junyan, and he gave her a comforting look.
The two of them went to the front hall together.
When Aunt Pei saw her and Duke Yong standing side by side, her teeth almost broke. She tried hard to put on a smiling face and bowed.
"Meet the Duke."
Marquis Wenchang bowed in greeting.
Mu Junyan returned the gift.
Aunt Pei approached them affectionately without waiting for them to speak, grabbed Gu Huan's arm, and said anxiously, "I heard that you're back..."
Gu Huan asked in surprise: "Mom, what do you mean I'm back?"
"Weren't you kidnapped?"
"Auntie, who told you that I was kidnapped?"
Mu Junyan had gone to great lengths to keep it a secret for her, and she couldn't ruin his good intentions.
The muscles on Aunt Pei's face flexed.
Word spread among the people that the young lady had been abducted, but her informant told her that Mu An had returned to the Duke's Mansion with a woman, so she was certain that it was her daughter who had returned.
The person who was abducted was Gu Huan.
But she had no evidence, and no one believed her. Her poor daughter had to bear the stigma of being kidnapped for the little bitch.
The wedding will be held in the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, and that little bitch will become the stepmother of her precious daughter.
How could she bear it?
Today is the last chance.
