Chapter 2 It's not a dream no matter how you look at it
Jiang Xue's voice was cold and slightly sharp. Although it was low, it was like thunder, which made Gu Lintan feel uneasy and he clenched his fists.
Look at how strange she is tonight. The way she spoke and acted this time, could it be that she really knows something?
It's impossible. I hid the person so well. All the servants in the mansion who knew about it were signed death warrants. I had killed one of them before as a warning to others, so the rest would definitely not dare to say anything - I was just being too suspicious.
Gu Lintan thought, it is not strange for a woman to feel anxious when getting married, especially since she is a princess, and she just wants to establish her authority and calm her mind. If she is coaxed, she will be fine.
"I wish to know you and live a long and happy life together." Gu Lintan put down the wine in his hand, took a half step back, bowed and said, "Lintan has nothing else in his heart, I only wish to be with Your Highness for the rest of my life, as a couple!"
These words were powerful and seeing his determined eyes and such a handsome figure, Jiang Xue began to waver, thinking that there was no reason to doubt the dream.
She felt relieved, and reached out to help him up, saying, "Since I'm married to you, I only hope that we can be of the same mind and heart, and live hand in hand until old age. With your words, I will no longer doubt you." She picked up the cups, one in each hand, and said, "We will drink from the same cup and be together forever. My dear, drink this cup together."
Gu Lintan took the wine cup, and the two of them clinked cups. Just as they were about to drink, they heard a few unusually rapid "dong dong" sounds outside the door. They both stopped and looked towards the door.
Gu Lintan's face was flustered for a moment, but he quickly concealed it and said softly, "Princess, please wait a moment." He put down the wine cup, took two steps towards the door and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door, with anxiety, "Master, a distinguished guest from Hedong has arrived. Huang Fu is afraid that he cannot entertain him well, so he comes to ask for your instructions."
Huang Fu was the steward of the Gu residence. If it wasn't an urgent matter, he would never knock on his master's door on the wedding night.
When Gu Lintan heard this, a hint of impatience and helplessness flashed across his face, but Jiang Xue didn't notice it at all at this time, because -
Because this scene and this conversation are exactly the same as in the dream just now!
Huang Fu knocked on the door at night and said that a distinguished guest had arrived. She felt something was strange and followed him quietly, only to find that the visitor was none other than Gu Lintan’s first wife!
In the dream, she was so angry that she got angry. Later, she forced Gu Lintan to kill his wife, but the long sword pierced her chest and abdomen!
Jiang Xue was frightened for a moment and had difficulty breathing. She held her chest and sat down on the chair.
Seeing that she was feeling unwell again, Gu Lintan immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Princess, are you feeling unwell again? I will help you to rest on the couch first. After I have seen the distinguished guests and you are feeling better, how about we drink the wedding wine and get married?"
Jiang Xue was silent for a moment and said hello.
Gu Lintan seemed to be relieved and turned to walk out of the room. When he was a distance away, he immediately asked anxiously, "What happened to her?"
Huang Fu whispered back, "Madam said that the young master has a high fever and no medicine can cure him. I'm here to ask you for advice. Can we ask the famous doctor in Jiaodong to treat him?"
"Nonsense!" Gu Lintan shouted angrily, "What kind of night is this? If I leave to consult a famous doctor, I'm afraid the whole city will be in an uproar tomorrow, and I'm afraid this matter won't be concealed anymore!"
Huang Fu lowered his head, not daring to say a word. Gu Lintan calmed down for a while, took a deep breath, and said, as if he couldn't bear it, "Forget it, take me to see her."
At this time, Jiang Xue was sitting in the room. After thinking it over again and again, she stood up, took off her loose clothes, gently opened the door, and turned to walk towards the west courtyard.
This was the road in her dream. She walked quietly through the garden based on her memory. She had to see it with her own eyes to confirm her guess.
The west courtyard of the Gu Mansion is usually quiet and deserted. The owner lives in the east courtyard. There are only a few houses in the west courtyard, and the garden is a bit dilapidated. This courtyard is not used often, so it is naturally less often cleaned and maintained.
At this time, the owner of the Gu Mansion, Gu Lintan, was hurriedly walking into an inconspicuous room in the west courtyard.
As he pushed the door open, a weak woman rushed over, held his arm, and burst into tears.
"Altar man, altar man!"
Gu Lintan hurriedly covered her figure, looked around, immediately brought her into the house and closed the door.
Huang Fu stood outside the door, looking around with a nervous expression.
Behind the big locust tree diagonally opposite the house was Jiang Xue, whose face was pale.
This woman, this face, this room.
Everything was exactly the same as the scene in her dream!
In other words, that dream was most likely not just a simple dream, but a kind of foreshadowing, and the scene in the dream was actually going to happen to her. She actually had such a dream!
In the dream, Jiang Xue followed her husband all the way and found out that he was secretly meeting a woman on his wedding night. How could this proud and darling girl endure such a great humiliation? So she rushed in angrily, which led to what happened in the dream.
What should she do at this time?
She was a princess of the Ji Dynasty, and her husband secretly met someone else on their wedding night, and this person was his original wife whom he had concealed from the public! How could she tolerate this!
At this moment, the pain in her chest and abdomen seemed to come again, as if reminding her of the tragic death she had suffered in her dream because of her impulse.
Absolutely not! She absolutely cannot die again because of impulsiveness and stupidity! If Gu Lintan is as shown in the dream, he is absolutely selfish and vicious! If she loses her temper at this time, she will probably die again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue dug her nails deep into her palms, using the pain to remind herself to endure the shame for a while. Taking advantage of the night, she hurried back to the wedding room.
In the room, the woman in front of Gu Lintan cried, "Tanlang, Chuan'er has had a high fever for three days. I have invited doctors from all over the place, but it still doesn't help after several doses of medicine. Tanlang! I heard that a famous doctor from Jiaodong came to Beijing recently. Tanlang, please ask him to save Chuan'er!"
To him, this woman was not only his original wife, but also his childhood sweetheart who stayed with him when his family fell into poverty when he was young. The Chuan'er she mentioned was his first child. No matter how ruthless and calculating he was, and even if he had thousands of plans, he could not bear to face them.
He supported the woman in his arms and said in a deep voice: "Suxi, I will find a way to deal with this matter. You go back first. I will not abandon you and your son, but you..." He looked deeply at the woman, his tone becoming heavier.
"If you encounter any problems in the future, just ask me to pass the message to your confidant. You, must not enter the Gu Mansion again!"
Suxi burst into tears and said, "I know Tanlang has something to plan. If Chuan'er wasn't seriously ill today, I wouldn't want to come and delay you. Tanlang should also go back to his room with the newlyweds..."
Gu Lintan sighed: "Marrying Jiang Xue is a step I have to take. But Suxi, you have to understand that I only have you and Chuan'er in my heart."
Suxi covered her face and cried. Soon, Huang Fu came in with a black cloak. She put on the cloak and left in the middle of the night.
Gu Lintan sat quietly in the west courtyard room for a while, then called Huang Fu.
"Uncle Huang, take my business card and go visit this famous doctor from Jiaodong. Just say," he stood up and walked out.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has been feeling unwell for a long time. I am very worried, so I went to ask this gentleman to treat her overnight." After saying this, he walked towards the bridal chamber in the east courtyard.
At this time, Jiang Xue was sitting quietly in the room, clutching her handkerchief, frowning, and also thinking deeply.
There were footsteps outside the door, Jiang Xue looked up, her eyes full of vigilance.
