Chapter 7 I was favored by the Duke
Dong Mo was looking around in the yard, trying to find someone from Jinxiu Pavilion to ask, when he saw Jin Kui coming out of the west corner door and hurried to meet him.
"Sister Jin, where is your Miss Gu Huan?"
Jin Kui recognized him and pointed to the west corner door, "In the small kitchen."
"Her hand is injured like that and you still want her to work?" Dong Mo widened his eyes in disbelief.
Jin Kui looked at him in surprise: "Do you know that her hand was injured?"
Dong Mo suddenly remembered that Gu Huan asked him not to say it.
"No, no, today when she was making tea for the young lady, she saw that her fingers were a little red."
Jin Kui didn't think too much: "I gave her some medicine."
"Thank you, sister. I have something to ask her." Dong Mo didn't want to say anything more and quickly ran to the small kitchen.
Jin Kui frowned and looked at his back. When did Gu Huan become so familiar with the people around the Duke?
Gu Huan and the cook were busy. She looked up inadvertently and saw Dong Mo leaning half of his body out of the moon door and waving at her, which scared her.
I quickly glanced at the cook, luckily she was bending over to burn wood and didn't see anything.
She walked out quickly and asked in a low voice: "Brother Dong, why are you here?"
If Gu Wanru finds out, she won't let me go.
Dong Mo did not dare to stay for long, and quickly stuffed two bottles of ointment into her hands, lowering his voice: "The one in the white porcelain bottle is a treasure from the palace, you must use it, it can restore your skin to its original state. The other one is a burn medicine."
Gu Huan was stunned: "It's so valuable, I can't accept it."
"This is a reward from my master, please use it." Dong Mo was afraid that the cook would discover her, so she ran away quickly.
If it was a reward from the Duke, why would Dong Mo do it in secret?
Dong Mo must have found a way to get it with good intentions.
Gu Huan looked at the two medicine bottles in her hand and her eyes became hot.
This is the first time I have been cared for by someone since I entered the Duke's Mansion.
It turns out that there are still good people.
Gu Huan suddenly remembered, picked up her skirt and chased after him, whispering: "Brother Dong, Brother Dong, is the master still in the mansion?"
Dong Mo didn't even turn his head and waved his hand: "I just left the house."
Gu Huan felt a chill in her heart.
Can't count on me?
Gu Huan didn't expect that her son-in-law Mu An would come before dinner time.
"Jinkui, ask Huan'er to serve us." Gu Wanru ordered with a smile.
After a while, Gu Huan came in with a plate of snacks and followed Jin Kui.
The two men served tea and snacks to the two masters.
Mu An's eyes fell on Gu Huan unabashedly, like a fly stuck on a delicious dessert.
Gu Huan felt cold all over. After putting the snacks into the white porcelain plate, she stepped back silently.
Gu Wanru had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with ice.
Mu An took Gu Wanru's hand and said lovingly, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"
Gu Wanru coquettishly nestled in Mu An's arms: "It is my blessing to marry you, my lord."
Looking at this couple's hypocritical display of affection, Gu Huan almost vomited.
Gu Wanru regards her as a thorn in her side and wishes she could disappear from her sight forever. In order to maintain her favor, she puts her on the chopping block and lets her be slaughtered.
Mu An coveted her beauty and wanted to get some benefits from her after satisfying his selfish desires, so he killed her to cover up the problem.
No one cared whether she was willing or not, or whether she or the baby in her womb lived or died.
In their eyes, she was just an object, a toy.
Gu Wanru, you have been stealing from me all your life.
Have you forgotten?
In the previous life, Mu An raped her after dinner today.
How can she escape from the clutches of this devil in this life?
Gu Huan's mind was in a mess.
Gu Wanru and Mu An were affectionate for a while, but Mu An's eyes were always glued to Gu Huan who was standing behind them. His eyes were full of hunger and thirst. He began to be perfunctory and even impatient with his wife in his arms.
Gu Wanru also noticed it, and she suppressed her unhappiness, gently pushed Mu An away, and smiled softly.
"It will take a while for dinner, and I am a little tired. Why don't you go to the side room and rest for a while? We will both be more energetic and the dinner will be more delicious."
Mu An was overjoyed and kissed Gu Wanru on the cheek: "Madam is so considerate."
Gu Wanru glared at him and said coquettishly, "My dear, just remember my kindness."
He turned around and looked at Gu Huan, and said gently: "Huan'er, you can help your uncle to rest."
Gu Huan’s whole body stiffened.
I haven’t had dinner yet!
Gu Huan stiffly led Mu An towards the side room. Feeling the pair of hungry wolf-like eyes behind her, a chill ran down her spine.
When they reached the door, Gu Huan did not enter the house, but stepped aside cautiously: "Sir, please come in...ah!"
Mu An suddenly hugged her and pushed her into the house.
Gu Huan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she desperately clung to the door frame with both hands: "Uncle, uncle, let me go."
Seeing that she refused to let go, Mu An simply turned her over, pressed her in his arms, and put his mouth on her neck and face, tearing her dress with his hands.
"My dear, from now on, you belong to me. Let me love you well."
Gu Huan cried out in despair: "Uncle, please let me go..."
Mu An's eyes were full of lust. Seeing her struggling desperately, he impatiently picked her up and carried her sideways, running straight into the house.
Mu An threw the man onto the couch, took off his clothes and pounced on him: "Serve me well, and I will love you well."
Gu Huan was extremely anxious. She pushed him hard and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Son-in-law, my elder sister has given me to the Duke. You can't touch me. Let me go!"
Mu An was stunned: "What did you say?"
Gu Huan said hurriedly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask my elder sister. This morning, my elder sister took me to see the Duke. The Duke has already taken a fancy to me, and you can't touch me. Don't you want to be crowned as the Crown Prince? If you touch the Duke's woman, have you thought about the consequences?"
She made up her mind that if he continued to force her, she would just use the silver hairpin on her head to die together with him!
Mu An looked grim and turned to look out the window.
The main house was just diagonally opposite. Gu Wanru had been standing by the door, staring at this side with anger.
She didn't expect Mu An to be so impatient. He started to make moves before he even entered the room, not giving her, the wife, any face at all.
Gu Huan also heard the shouting and hurried over with Jin Kui.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Gu Wanru lost her dignity and was filled with anger.
How dare you to sow discord between them!
Gu Huan took advantage of Mu An's loosened grip, pushed him away, jumped off the couch, and wanted to run out, but was stopped by Mu An who pressed the door with his arm across.
Mu An's face was grim: "Gu Wanru, you say one thing in front of me and another behind my back?"
Gu Wanru was anxious: "My dear, how could I possibly give her to my father? I have already sent her to you, haven't I?"
She is the future wife of the Duke, so how can she allow anyone to destroy her perfect image of being virtuous and kind?
Gu Wanru turned her head and looked at Gu Huan coldly: "Sister, if you don't want to serve me, just say so. How can I force you? Besides, my father has never been interested in women. How can you frame him?"
Mu An came back to his senses and looked at Gu Huan coldly: "Gu Huan, it's your blessing that I like you, and it's also because your elder sister is generous. What? You look down on me and want to climb into my father's bed!"
Gu Huan knew that what Mu An hated most was that Duke Yong had never asked for the title of Crown Prince for him.
She often heard Mu An and Gu Wanru scolding Duke Yong and even the old lady in the room, saying that they had never treated him as their own son or grandson.
They also said that Duke Yong had no descendants, and everything in the Duke's Mansion belonged to him. When Duke Yong got old, they could forget about showing filial piety to him.
This is also the reason why Gu Wanru never pays attention to the old lady suffering from dementia.
Seeing that her husband was angry with Gu Huan, Gu Wanru softened her tone, "Sister, how could my elder sister harm you? My husband has always been kind and gentle to women. Look at the concubines in the backyard, which one of them is not well-dressed and well-fed? When my husband inherits the Duke's Mansion in the future, can he not enjoy your wealth and glory?
My father is old and he doesn't like women. Even if you want to serve him, he won't want you. In the end, all your efforts are in vain. Isn't it a waste of your best years?
Even if our elder sister sent you back home, with your status, your father and mother could have just randomly chosen someone for you to marry. How could that compare to the dignity of the only son of the Duke's Mansion? ”
Gu Wanru's words touched Mu An's heart. The little bitch dared to reject him and get close to her father.
Clearly looking down on him.
He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Gu Huan in the face, cursing: "Do you think you can have a father? Bitch!"
Gu Huan's face felt burning and her ears were buzzing.
Mu An's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Come here, tie her up and throw her into the room."
Two servants came in from outside, held Gu Huan and started to tie her up.
