Chapter 27 The concubine sister comes out of the study
Gu Huan whispered, "I want her and Aunt Pei to know so that they won't have any more bad intentions. But...please don't let too many people know. After all, my identity beside you is only the second daughter of the Gu family."
Mu Junyan touched her head: "Okay."
"Master, the medicine is here." Zhou Zhilan's voice came from outside.
Mu Junyan looked at her: "Contraceptive soup."
Gu Huan nodded obediently: "Yes, I will go and drink."
Mu Junyan moved aside and leaned against the soft backrest, looking at her holding the small dress with a broken strap, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"The medicine is at the door, you can go down." Mu Junyan said.
"yes."
Zhou Zhilan responded and walked away with the footsteps.
Gu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped herself in her cloak, walked to the door, gently opened it a crack, saw the medicine on the floor at the door, squatted down, reached out and brought in the medicine bowl.
He drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
Turning around again, she saw Mu Junyan staring at her. Gu Huan blushed slightly and walked closer: "Master, don't you want to go back to the dormitory to rest?"
Mu Junyan stretched out his hand and tore off her cloak, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Sleep with you"
Gu Huan's heart was pounding. She obediently nestled in the broad and warm arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, not daring to move.
She was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep soon.
…
The next day, at dawn.
Gu Wanru held the note sent by Gu Houfu last night and asked: "Are you sure that father returned home last night?"
Jin Kui nodded: "Yes. However, the master went into the study last night and didn't seem to come out again. I wonder if he is still there now."
Gu Wanru was overjoyed: "Father has worked hard and stayed up late, so I can just pay my respects and send him some tonic soup. I can mention the matter of the Marquis' Mansion asking Gu Huan to return home, and Father won't ask about it."
Jin Kui looked out the window: "Is it too early? It's not even daybreak yet."
"Father has been up all night, and he is the most tired at this hour. If it's any later, he will have to go to court again. Isn't there a ready-made chicken soup in the kitchen for me? Go and get a bowl, hurry up."
Gu Wanru went to the closet and found a set of dignified and appropriate skirt.
After everything was ready, he hurried to Guanshan Tower with Jinkui.
Because it was too early, the door of Wenhanxuan was not open. Gu Wanru walked around and found that the small door on the corridor near the study Guanshan Tower was not closed. Without thinking much, she walked in.
It was quiet everywhere, and no other servants were seen.
Gu Wanru was overjoyed, thinking that now no one would stop her from fulfilling her filial duties.
After taking a few quick steps, she saw the door of Guanshan Tower. Suddenly, a figure appeared and blocked her way.
"Young Madam, please go back."
The cold voice startled Gu Wanru.
Why is it like a ghost?
But this person knew her, and as a servant who stayed by her father's side, Gu Wanru naturally treated her well.
She calmed herself down and said with a smile, "I'm here to bring nourishing soup to my father. He's been working hard all night and will have to go to court soon. A bowl of chicken soup will warm him up and he'll feel better."
Akabane: “…”
The master has been tired all night.
But I can't drink your chicken soup either.
Akabane said indifferently: "Young Madam, please go back."
Gu Wanru was angry that a mere servant dared to stop her.
But she was always generous and good-tempered, so she had to hold back her anger and said, "Why don't you go and report it first? If father doesn't want to see me, it won't be too late for me to go back later."
The person blocking her way was like an iron tower, indifferent and not even bothering to talk to her.
Gu Wanru suppressed her anger and said, "The chicken soup has been stewed all night. It is specially stewed for father. It is up to father to decide whether to drink it or not. Go in and ask him."
Akabane was also angry: "Young Madam, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Gu Wanru could no longer suppress her anger. She had asked Yinzhi to tip off Mu An and arranged for him to leave the house today, saying that he would be satisfied.
So, she must get Gu Huan out of the house today.
She just didn't believe that the guards would dare to touch a young lady.
Gu Wanru walked inside while lifting her skirt. The servant who was blocking her turned around and drew his sword with a cold face.
The bright cold light frightened Gu Wanru so much that she stopped in her tracks.
Suddenly a strange sound was heard in the house.
Suddenly, a delicate female voice was heard from the study room, where women were not allowed to enter.
"Master...I am exhausted, please spare me. It is almost dawn."
A low voice interrupted her: "Turn around, I'm here."
Gu Wanru was struck by lightning and froze in silence.
Jin Kui, who was following closely behind her, almost dropped the food box. She grabbed the handle of the food box tightly with both hands and quickly took two steps back.
Can't listen!
Akabane's face darkened.
If he ruins the master's interest, he will chop him into pieces, right?
He approached with his unsheathed sword, lowered his voice, and said unceremoniously: "Young Madam, please go back."
Gu Wanru was so scared that she stepped back, forgetting for a moment that there was a staircase under her feet. She stepped on empty air and rolled down.
Jin Kui exclaimed, quickly put down the food box, and rushed over to support her.
Unexpectedly, in his haste, he kicked over the food box.
The tilted food box spilled the hot chicken soup that had been simmering all night long all over the floor and onto Gu Wanru's shoes. The delicate embroidered shoes were smoking.
Gu Wanru, whose foot was half burned, felt no pain at all. She looked as if she had seen a ghost and grabbed Jin Kui.
"Was that woman's voice just now Gu Huan?"
Only a fool would admit it.
Jin Kui looked bewildered: "I didn't hear any woman's voice. There was no sound in the room."
Gu Wanru shook her head. No, that’s not right. She heard it clearly.
It's definitely not an auditory hallucination.
"Obviously..."
"Young Madam, no matter what you hear, you must shut up. Otherwise, you will never have to speak again."
When Gu Wanru looked up, she met Chiyu's cold gaze, which was like looking at a dead person.
I shuddered and immediately understood what he meant.
Even if her father and Gu Huan were together, she couldn't tell anyone, otherwise her father would not let her go.
Jin Kui helped her up, and just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the door creak.
Gu Wanru stopped involuntarily.
But then a pair of white embroidered shoes stepped out of the door, and a woman in white clothes and a purple cape walked out slowly.
Gu Wanru was stunned.
When she saw the figure coming out clearly again, Gu Wanru's eyes suddenly widened...
really!
Her half-sister Gu Huan, who was stepped on by her, came out from the study room which women were never allowed to enter easily, with her hair slightly disheveled and her eyes as charming as silk.
The girl, with a figure as slender as a willow, walked slowly and delicately towards them.
In a soft voice, he asked, "Eldest sister, are you here to show your filial piety to the Duke?"
Gu Wanru's whole body was stiff. Even though she guessed that she seduced her father, or that her father was interested in beautiful women, she never expected that they would actually...
what to do?
How would she explain this to her husband?
Gu Huan glanced at her, then deliberately stretched out her hand wrapped in her cloak and smoothed her hair.
Gu Wanru saw clearly that what she was wearing was actually men's underwear.
Her fair and tender hands and neck were covered with bruises left by the ambiguity.
Gu Wanru's mind went blank.
Gu Huan advised seriously, "Eldest sister, please go back quickly. You shouldn't have come here. Since you have seen it, just pretend that you saw nothing. If you want to be a good young lady in the Duke's Mansion, you must remember that I, who copied manuscripts for the Duke's late wife in the study, will always be your concubine sister and the second young lady of the Gu Mansion.
If any word of what happened today leaks out from the mouths of my elder sister and Jin Kui, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Duke's Mansion. I can’t go back to the Marquis’ Mansion. But Jinkui's life is in danger. ”
Jin Kui was so scared that his face turned pale.
The ant in his hand suddenly dared to show its teeth, and Gu Wanru came back to his senses.
It turned out that she had pretended to coax herself two days ago and seduced her father behind her back, and even lied to her that she was whispering in her father's ear.
It turned out to be a delaying tactic by the little bitch.
