"You--" Qi Che was extremely angry. He raised his hand and was about to bring it down, but stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Gu Yanran did not dodge or evade, but instead faced forward, "Hit him! Let everyone see how the new number one scholar treats his newlywed wife!"
Qi Che narrowed his eyes dangerously, but in an instant he thought of something, slowly put down his hands, stroked his sleeves calmly, and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
"Madam, what you said is very true, but... you seem to have forgotten someone."
"Is Chuntao okay these past two days?"
Gu Yanran's face suddenly changed, and she tightened her fingers subconsciously, "Why did you mention Chuntao?"
"As your personal maid, Chun Tao has handled many inconvenient matters for you. For example, last year, someone saw her tampering with Aunt Chen's pregnancy-preserving medicine according to your instructions."
"Madam, tell me, if Prime Minister Gu knew that you were plotting to murder his offspring, how would he feel?"
"Do you think you can live to see the sun tomorrow?"
Gu Yanran froze suddenly, as if she had been struck by lightning.
In order to ensure that her position as the daughter of the prime minister's family is rock solid, she has tried every possible means to abort the children of her concubines over the years, resulting in Prime Minister Gu now having only one daughter.
"You, you confessed under torture?"
Qi Che sneered: "You have two choices now. First, ask to leave and I will never mention this matter again.

According to the law, she should be hanged. As for whether she will reveal other things about the Xiangguo Mansion..."
"Despicable!" Gu Yanran raised her hand to slap Qi Che, but the other party gently grabbed her wrist.
"Madam, please think twice."
He leaned close to Gu Yanran's ear, his voice was frighteningly gentle, "Chun Tao has served you since she was a child, and has done so many shameful things for you, can you really bear to watch her die?"
The anger in Gu Yanran's eyes gradually died down and was then replaced by tears.
Chuntao is her personal maid and knows all her secrets. If something really happens to Chuntao, the consequences will be disastrous.
Finally, Gu Yanran closed her eyes with difficulty.
"Okay! I promise!"
Just a few words seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Qi Che smiled triumphantly, "Madam is indeed sensible. I want to see your petition before noon tomorrow. Now, you can have someone pack up."
