Chapter 150 Can you believe such nonsense?
"I remember now," Lu Qiongshuang muttered again, "Isn't this the story in the storybooks I often read?"
"A poor young man met a kindhearted woman on the road and they made a lifelong promise. When he became successful, he would ride a horse and a sedan chair to marry her. From then on, they lived hand in hand and loved each other till old age."
"It's an old storyline," Lu Qiongshuang rolled her eyes, "but isn't it completely different from his situation? He passed the imperial examination and came to marry my cousin without caring about his past relationship. He holds a high position and a high salary, and he's also the son-in-law of the emperor - it sounds like a Chen Shimei!"
She chattered on for a while, and seeing Jing Ye who was not moved at all, she whispered angrily and continued to look back at the yard.
"I want to hear what he has to say next."
In the courtyard, Jiang Xue suppressed her mocking sneer and tried her best to make her expression and voice express grief and sorrow.
"You actually have such a connection with her, and you brought her to the capital today - I believe that your husband's love for her must be even more sincere than that for me, your legitimate wife."
Gu Lintan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, I have already told Your Highness my feelings when I drank the wedding wine with Your Highness."
"I want to know you, and live a long and happy life."
Gu Lintan raised his head and looked at Jiang Xue sincerely, saying:
"I was just grateful for Miss Suxi's help that day, and I didn't have any other thoughts! I only have feelings for Your Highness."
"Didn't he think about it?" Jiang Xue said in a sharp voice and winked at Chen Jin beside her. Chen Jin immediately strode to the carriage and took the child out of the carriage.
"What about this child!" Jiang Xue asked, "Tell me, where did this child come from?"
Hearing this, Su Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and almost fell to the side. Gu Lintan quickly reached out to support her body, then looked at Jiang Xue with an extremely helpless expression and a tone of regret.
"I really didn't know about this child's existence before."
"A few days ago, Suxi traveled all the way with her child, and finally found out about me, and came to the capital. We have been apart for three or four years, and I didn't know about this until she came to find me."
The contempt in Jiang Xue's eyes could hardly be suppressed. He made up such a lie and thought she would believe it?
Although her original intention tonight was to bring the mother and son back to the mansion and not to break up with Gu Lintan, if she believed it, Gu Lintan would be suspicious and think that she was too easy to fool.
Jiang Xue smiled coldly and said, "Since you have a child, it means you were married to her that day. Why didn't you bring her home and marry her with three letters and six ceremonies? Why have you never gone back to look for her now that the child is so big?"
Gu Lintan gritted his teeth secretly, then slowly spoke:
"Your Highness, when Miss Suxi saved me, I had been suffering from a high fever for days. In order to reduce my fever, Miss Suxi had no choice but to soak her own body in the water to reduce my fever."
"I was so ill at the time that I was extremely confused and my mind was not clear. I didn't realize that I had ruined Miss Suxi's innocence."
"Fuck him!" Lu Qiongshuang was indignant when he heard this. "He can make up such nonsense. I can't stand it!"
In the courtyard, Gu Lintan looked at Suxi, and his hand hidden under his sleeve secretly grasped her arm.
Suxi's tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.
It has come to this, what else can we do?
After more than ten years of dependence on each other, she believed in Tan Lang and believed that everything he said and did was to save her and Chuan'er's lives.
So, she spoke slowly with her voice choked and broken.
"Your Highness, this matter is unknown to the altar and Master Gu."
"Really?" Jiang Xue hesitated for a while before saying these two words.
Gu Lintan deserves to die. He would do anything to achieve his goal, even making up such insulting lies. And Su Xi——
Jiang Xue sighed in her heart. She was actually willing to do this for Gu Lintan.
In the end, I couldn't bear it.
A self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on Suxi's tear-stained face.
She knelt up again and bowed solemnly to Jiang Xue again.
"Really. I was eager to save people that day. Afterwards, I was afraid that Master Gu would misunderstand me, and I didn't want to use my power to repay him, so I never told him what happened that day."
She sighed deeply and said, "Lord Gu was already delirious due to the fever that day. Even if he remembered some fragments afterwards, I deliberately concealed them at the time, so he would just think that he was just having a confused dream during his illness."
Lu Qiong had good hearing ability, and even though Su Xi's voice was very soft, she could still hear it clearly. She looked at Jing Ye beside her in amazement and asked, "Ah, this? She is willing to do this?"
Jing Ye reached out and turned her head away, continuing to watch the situation in the yard as if he was watching a show.
Jiang Xue was a little stunned. What made her unbelievable was that Su Xi had even given up her own reputation in order to help Gu Lintan.
She calmed down, slowed down her tone, and asked again: "Then this child..."
"Yes, Your Highness." Su Xi closed her eyes, her voice fragmented, "I, a commoner, am alone, unmarried and have a child, it is really hard to support myself. So I asked for information all the way until I came to the capital."
"But I didn't know that Lord Gu had already married His Highness. I didn't want to ruin his future, and I didn't want to put the princess in an unjust position, so I wanted to just leave..."
She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Lintan with a sad face.
Gu Lintan said earnestly, "Your Highness, the mistake was made many years ago. Even if I didn't know it at the time, I can't let my savior take my child and live in exile. This matter was caused by me. I have read the books of sages since I was young, and I really can't do something unkind and unjust."
"I hope Your Highness will help me!"
Jiang Xue only felt that Gu Lintan was disgusting. The tears that she was able to squeeze out had now dried up. She could no longer summon up any emotions. In order to avoid revealing her flaws, she could only turn her back to the two of them and try her best to make her voice sound more painful.
"What do you want me to do for you? A prince consort?"
"You can't be so unkind and unjust, you can't be ungrateful, you can't abandon your own children and your benefactor, so - do you want me to leave the marriage and make your marriage come true?"
"No!" Gu Lintan cried out in surprise, stood up and came to Jiang Xue's side to support her, lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Xue's frowning face with a look of grief, and said: "I just want to take them mother and son in and give them a place to stay. My heart is only with Your Highness, and my wife is only Your Highness!"
Jiang Xue pushed him away weakly and said, "I'm so confused, Prince Consort, I believe in you, and I believe in your loyalty and loyalty, but I really don't know how to accept this."
"Husband and wife are one. She saved your life, so she is also my benefactor. But she has a child with you. Her identity in the future, and the identity of the child..."
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and said, "Prince Consort, let me think about it carefully."
"But no matter what, we can't leave them stranded outside without support. Let's take Miss Suxi and the child back to the mansion and let them live in the backyard." Jiang Xue said, not allowing Gu Lintan to refuse, and then asked:
"I haven't asked the Prince Consort yet why there are assassins in this courtyard tonight?"
