"Unwavering love and trust?"
Gu Jinghui was a little confused and blurted out, "My wife and I have always been deeply in love."
Doctor Li's face stiffened for a moment before he said, "Perhaps it's still not enough?"
Sixth Master Gu couldn't stand it any longer. He tugged at his third brother's sleeve and said, "Third Brother, let Doctor Li carefully consider the prescription. I have something to tell you."
Doctor Li said, "I still have some matters to attend to with Madam. I will have someone send the prescription over as soon as it is written."
Lord Gu immediately replied, "It's fine to send it to Wutong Garden."
Since it wasn't that he was incapable, he naturally wouldn't stay in the outer courtyard any longer.
After Physician Li left, Sixth Master Gu said, "Third Brother, do you still think you and Third Sister-in-law are truly in love?"
Lord Gu felt completely relaxed at this moment and didn't argue with his younger brother. He only frowned slightly and asked, "Your third sister-in-law is devoted to me wholeheartedly, and so am I. How can it not be considered a loving and trusting relationship?"
Sixth Master Gu simply counted on his fingers for him: "For Zhao's sake, you didn't stay overnight on your wedding night, and later you caused trouble several times, which resulted in your mother beating you. Do you think you treated your third sister-in-law well?"
Gu Jinghui's face darkened slightly, but he didn't deny it, saying, "Wasn't that just the beginning? Didn't I change it later? Besides, didn't your third sister-in-law keep all these things a secret? How did you find out?"
"I managed to keep it a secret at the time, but later when Gu Shiliu and Shiba were chatting, I found out everything."
"That bastard can't even keep his mouth shut."
Sixth Master Gu continued, "That Zhao woman has caused trouble time and time again. Later, the twins even caused a disturbance and were disrespectful to your sister-in-law. You treat them like treasures. If you were Third Sister-in-law, would you be happy?"
Lord Gu's face darkened further, and he said stiffly, "Didn't we already tell them to move out?"
Sixth Master Gu snorted coldly.
Lord Gu said, "Let me tell you, these are all minor matters when it comes to the relationship between husband and wife."
Sixth Master Gu stood up, straightened his robes, and said, "If Third Brother thinks so, then so be it. I'm going out to greet the people."
Lord Gu: "...You really are..."
After Sixth Master Gu left, Lord Gu's lips drooped, and he slumped back in his chair, muttering to himself, "Is it really that bad?"
After sitting for a while, Lord Gu stood up and called out, "Sixteen."
No one answered.
Lord Gu called out again, and the servant guarding the gate peeked in and whispered, "Lord Gu, Sixteen is very busy. He's either gone next door or being called by the Madam."
"What does the lady want with him?"
The servant said, "I heard that Miss Hongye was looking for him. She said that Miss Chang and Miss Qi had a fight in front of the coffin of the Sixth Madam. Miss Chang said that the Marquis was ill, and the Madam asked Gu Shiliu to investigate who spread the rumor."
Lord Gu's face was gloomy, and his whole body emanated a cold aura that froze the servant's tongue, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
"You bastard!"
Lord Gu slammed his hand on the table, causing the cups and saucers to clang and the tabletop to dent.
The servant was so frightened that he quietly took a few steps back.
Lord Gu grew angrier the more he thought about it, wishing he could transform into Zhang Fei, wielding his eighteen-foot spear and stabbing wildly.
No wonder the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree looked at him with such sympathy and affection.
I see……
I see!
How dare Chang Qingling?!
Gu Shiba stood in the courtyard where the second gate was where they were discussing matters, his heart heavy and unable to speak.
Across from her, Qin Yuan sat in a chair, holding a teacup, looking puzzled.
It was only after investigation that it was discovered that the news of the Marquis losing his manhood had spread throughout the court and the country.
Qin Yuan, who knows the truth but can't tell, is speechless.
"So that's why Lord Gu has been so preoccupied and avoiding me these days?"
The more I think about it, the more I realize that's how it is, but who spread this unspeakable secret?
Gu Shiba said, "I think it was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy that day..."
"Oh...that day..."
Qin Yuan also remembered that at the time she thought Lord Gu was rash.
"Cough cough cough."
The root of the problem lies within myself.
That night, Lord Gu probably realized he was impotent, so he asked the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, who then spread the news.
Chang Qingling was close to the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess, so she naturally knew about this matter, and then blurted it out during an argument with Gu Baozhu.
That makes sense.
However, Qin Yuan had a new problem.
Chang Qingling originally wanted to get close to Lord Gu, but why did she shout such words in public?
Qin Yuan couldn't understand it, so she asked Hong Mian, "You've always been clever, what do you think Chang Niangzi is after?"
Hongmian said anxiously, "Madam, shouldn't you be worried about the Marquis at this time?"
Qin Yuan said, "What's there to worry about? That's all nonsense."
Hongmian realized what was going on.
Whether the Marquis is capable or not is up to Qin Yuan to decide.
Unless someone saw it with their own eyes, it's all lies.
Hongmian looked at Qin Yuan with admiration.
He thought to himself, "Madam is truly formidable. If any other woman knew that her husband was impotent and that it was common knowledge, she would be crying her eyes out and would have no sense of reason whatsoever."
Qin Yuan was telling the truth, but no one present believed her.
Gu Shiba immediately said, "What you say is true, Madam. How can we believe those petty people spreading rumors outside? If this news was spread by the head of the Imperial Hospital, I beg Madam to allow me to give that old geezer a beating."
Hongmian chimed in, "That's right, how can such a scoundrel spew nonsense outside?"
Qin Yuan said, "Let's put him aside for now. Think about why Madam Chang would do something so unwise?"
Hongmian said, "That's because our Seventh Miss spoke too sharply, hitting her nail on the head. She also believed the rumors and felt hopeless, so she simply shouted it out to prove that she had no intention of doing anything."
Qin Yuan said, "Since you've believed it, you should naturally give up on the idea. Why are you being so attentive and sitting here refusing to leave?"
Hongmian thought for a moment and said, "That is indeed a bit strange."
Qin Yuan wanted to argue further, but Physician Li hurriedly pushed open the door and said as soon as he saw her, "The Marquis is ill, I..."
Gu Shiba and Hongmian exchanged a glance and lowered their heads.
Seeing Li Langzhong's expression, Qin Yuan knew that her actions had been seen through, so she waved her hand and said, "You all go ahead and do your work. I have something to say to Li Langzhong."
Gu Shiba silently turned around and left.
Hongmian didn't dare linger and quickly followed behind, cleverly closing the door behind her as they went out.
Qin Yuan nodded inwardly.
With no outsiders in the room, Physician Li no longer held back and plopped down in a chair, asking, "What exactly are you up to, making such a fuss right in front of me? If I hadn't been looking closely, I almost wouldn't have known. When did this happen?"
Qin Yuan was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Our wedding night."
"hiss……"
Doctor Li stared at her incredulously, exclaiming, "My goodness, you're incredibly bold! If people knew what you were doing..."
Qin Yuan said calmly, "Who could possibly know?"
Doctor Li looked at her, swallowed resignedly, and asked, "What should we do now? I told him that a loving couple would get better on their own, but now I have to prescribe medicine to treat him. I can't just rely on guesswork, can I?"
