Chapter 185 Mutual Understanding
Whether it is a blood relationship or not, it needs to be cultivated! It takes time to spend time together and be in the same place. Only then will feelings gradually develop.
On the way back home, she went to the teahouse again and met the owner!
Ask him how his business is going recently. I hope all those storytellers are doing well.
After asking this, she turned around and went back to Chang Mansion. The moment she got off the carriage, she felt that she might have too good a temper, so... Gu Rongyu felt that she was easy to coax!
Before that, three years of leaving without saying goodbye had hurt her.
But she forgave Gu Rongyu overnight. It was too fast. If it were someone else, it would be impossible for them to forgive this man so quickly!
And she did forgive!
After she calmed down, she got off the carriage. Gu Rongyu had already prepared some rattan sticks at home, just to apologize!
When she walked in, Gu Rongyu had already sent the servants in the yard away.
"You're still trying to trick me like this? I don't know, these things are useless to me now? I've seen you before. Don't act pitiful here, I don't need it."
As soon as Chang Xixi finished speaking, Gu Rongyu stopped pretending!
He said directly: "My wife, I really didn't mean it! The child is still young... I think he shouldn't be so dependent on you. And your neutrality should be with me, not with him! You have to look after me... He has other people to take care of him, he has you, and me, but I only have you!"
This was the first time Gu Rongyu showed his weakness, and this should be the second time.
But Chang Xixi still felt that Gu Rongyu didn't put the child first, and said, "Tell me! How can I make you... not treat the child like that! I do spend more time with you, but I have my own ideas and goals! I am also trying to protect you and the child. How are we going to survive without our military power and the glory of the Gu family? Have you thought about it? What should we do? We only have these people around us. What if the prince can't figure it out and wants to kill us? Can we successfully escape to the barbarians? Now, we have handed all our secrets to the prince. He knows your people, but you don't know how many people he has!"
"Can our child grow up healthy? Can he? I want to create something that even the emperor would be afraid of! Everything Gu Rong and I did was for you. And you're still having an affair here! Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about me? Is being with me the only thing on your mind? We have no money and no power! What's the point of being together? Tell me!"
Chang Xixi said she was tired, so she sat at the table and started eating the food prepared by Gu Rongyu, very angrily!
When Gu Rongyu saw her like this, he could only feel heartache.
I didn't expect that Chang Xixi did all this for herself, not just for money.
What he didn't know was that Chang Xixi had indirectly killed Gu Rongyu for the sake of money, also because she was afraid that she couldn't support him and that he would die from such a peaceful life!
Besides, it would be such a pity if he died since he was so good-looking.
So, I worked hard to make money, using all kinds of methods, just to give him a good life and support him to take the imperial examination, so that his life would be better.
Who would have thought that after failing the exam... he would die just like that!
"My lady, you don't have to worry about these. I have the only way to get the prince to let us go! He won't make things difficult for us. No, I promise."
"Gu Rongyu, what can you guarantee now? What exactly can you guarantee? Safety? You can't, because you can't protect me and the child at all! Everything is the result of everyone's efforts. You didn't do anything! You didn't even arrange your own death! The moment I saw the body, I knew you weren't dead at all! Because I know you too well. We've been together day and night for so many days. Someone wearing your clothes and carrying that jade pendant is you? Do you think that just because your face is rotten, it's you? No... those are not you at all. I can see it! That man was poisoned to death! And the drug was poured into him after he was killed! There are no obvious lesions on his body."
Chang Xixi said while crying.
Why did he make such a useless, useless promise! The prince was already the new emperor at that time... The new emperor would start three fires upon his ascension to the throne, and he was the first one to start!
Don't you know yet? Leave yourself a way out!
Originally, she didn't think so!
However, looking at the postures of the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, and thinking about how the Crown Prince could come to her house in disguise and talk to her without changing his expression, how cunning this person is!
How cunning is he?
How could he remain so calm? How shrewd must he be to make that high-ranking person think that he is a very obedient person!
After going through so many things, she finally realized that the prince was the dark horse!
The prince must have known Gu Rongyu's identity and his own for a long time!
It’s okay!
The matter of the child cannot be exposed too early. All the dangers are still there! They have not gone away at all.
Gu Rongyu only thought about his children's love affairs!
Before, she was scolding the child, and she felt that Gu Rongyu's mind was always on her, not on the business. Now... thinking about it, she felt that Gu Rongyu didn't take these things seriously at all... It was like a child's play.
She then whispered, "Let's separate for now! I've heard that things in the capital have been a bit turbulent lately. I'm sure you've heard about this, too."
"Don't worry! The Prime Minister will soon die of fear of crime. If the Emperor doesn't investigate thoroughly, Prince Rui will rebel."
"this?"
"All of this is as planned. There won't be any other changes. Prince Rui is indeed very clever, but unfortunately, he can never outsmart the Crown Prince. Madam, your idea is absolutely right."
"Hmm." Chang Xixi pondered for a moment, then told Gu Rongyu, "We must complete these things before the Crown Prince ascends the throne, and... transfer all our assets, including our own people! We can't leave anyone behind, or we'll be doomed! The moment you call for the military order will be the moment to test the Crown Prince's character."
Chang Xixi spoke depressedly.
No one knew what the outcome of this court dispute would be! Ordinary people could only watch helplessly, and people like her could only go with the flow.
What else can I do?
She has no power, no influence, and not much money! I'm afraid she can only save her life. Moreover, she has a family to support!
Fortunately, her intensive plan was all going on.
Gu Rongyu took Chang Xixi's hand and said, "My dear, thank you for thinking so carefully for me. I didn't think of anything."
