In the faint and dim candlelight, Watson's face looked particularly beautiful and charming.
If he were an ordinary man instead of a eunuch, he would surely attract many young girls. However, the reality of his fate made him a eunuch, and he lost the right to pursue love, Gu Yufei thought.
"Miss Qiu Shuang, stop joking. Not to mention Watson's disabled body, besides, Watson is just following the orders of the prince consort to marry you and pretend to be a couple." Watson replied.
Gu Yufei wanted to say something, but Watson continued, "Watson has no relatives in this world. Only his body remains. His life belongs to the Prince Consort. The meaning of this life is to repay him. I hope Miss Qiu Shuang will not make fun of Watson anymore."
“…………”
After hearing what Watson said, Gu Yufei was silent for a long time.
Later, when Gu Yufei wanted to say something, Watson had already fallen asleep with his clothes on, and the figure outside the door had quietly disappeared.

The sunlight streamed into the room through the window, illuminating everything.
Last night, they both went to bed separately. When Gu Yufei woke up, Huasheng was no longer in the room. But today, Du Minting's arrival made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Du Minting walked into Gu Yufei's room with a basket of exquisite snacks in her hand and an unnatural smile on her face.
When Gu Yufei saw Du Minting coming, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
Du Minting seemed a little indifferent. She placed the snacks on the table and said calmly, "I came to see you, and it can be considered as congratulations."
Gu Yufei understood Du Minting's thoughts.
Du Minting probably thought that she would snatch Duan Yu away or seduce him to become her mistress.
"Thank you, Princess. I am humble and it is my honor to have you come to visit me in person." Gu Yufei saluted quickly.
Seeing her humble attitude, Du Minting felt a little better and pretended to comfort her, "Watson is kind and honest. It's not a bad idea to live with him. Although life may be a little less exciting, peace and happiness are the most important things."
"Thank you for the advice, Princess."
Du Minting looked at Gu Yufei, gently stroked her bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I am pregnant with Duan Yu's flesh and blood. When this child is born in the future, he will definitely be loved endlessly." She looked at Gu Yufei, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Gu Yufei's heart sank. She tried to remain calm and responded with a smile, "Congratulations, Princess. I wish you all the best."
"Of course, the royal bloodline cannot afford to fail." Du Minting smiled proudly.
Gu Yufei said a few words of flattery, but when she saw that Du Minting didn't leave, she felt a little depressed.
"But..." Du Minting changed the subject, "Although you are the benefactor of the Prince Consort, you are also a member of the Duan Mansion after all. A servant is a servant, and you must abide by the rules from now on."
As she spoke, she kicked over the bucket next to her, spilling water all over the floor.
"Hurry up and get a basin of water to wash my feet." Du Minting ordered.
Gu Yufei was stunned. She didn't expect Du Minting to make things so difficult for her.
But she still silently picked up the bucket and prepared to go out to fetch water.
Just as she reached the door, Du Minting called her again.
"Wait, you're just going out to fetch water? What, you don't plan to salute this princess?" Du Minting sneered.
Gu Yufei took a deep breath, turned around and saluted Du Minting.
"Qiu Shuang will go get some water now. Princess, please wait a moment."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room.
