Shen Tunan's idea was actually very simple: no matter how much he disliked his son, he was still his own flesh and blood.
If I followed the fifth prince into the palace, I could still see him from time to time, which wouldn't be bad.
Shen Shi had anticipated Shen Tunan's idea.
But he now faces a problem: Gu Yuanbai, who seems reluctant to follow Shen Shi.
"Master, this person is so ungrateful! In my opinion, he should be thrown out into the street and left to fend for himself!" Qingyu said indignantly.
As instructed by Shen Shi, Qing Yu and Gu Yuanbai have been getting along well these past few days, at least on the surface.
However, to his surprise, Gu Yuanbai was being treated well with good food and drink and was even able to recover from his illness. Such good treatment was something others would be eager to receive, yet he was still thinking about returning to the Prime Minister's residence!
Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot—what kind of nonsense is this!
Seeing that Shen Shi remained silent, Qing Yu anxiously said, "Master, please say something!"
Shen Shi already knew what Qing Yu was saying.
After pondering for a moment, he finally asked, "Has he been going to the Prime Minister's residence these past few days?"
“Yes, after going to the Prime Minister’s residence, he didn’t go inside; he just wandered around.” Qingyu knew Gu Yuanbai’s whereabouts perfectly and answered immediately.
After hearing this, Shen Shi smiled faintly. It was still the power of love!
It seems necessary to help Gu Yuanbai and make him see Lin Han'er's true nature.
"Tell Gu Yuanbai that we're returning to the palace tomorrow," Shen Shi instructed, tapping his fingers on the table.
Although he didn't know the purpose of doing so, adhering to the principle of following Chen Shi's lead, Qingyu immediately said, "I'll take care of it right away."
Gu Yuanbai, having learned that Shen Shi would be returning to the palace the next day, was lying in bed deep in thought.
He didn't have much time left to think. Getting close to Shen Tunan and finding an opportunity to kill him was something Gu Yuanbai dreamed of.
Now a great opportunity is right in front of him, but he still can't help but hesitate, and Lin Han'er's pretty face keeps flashing in his mind.
Thinking of this vicious woman, in his anxiety and anger, Gu Yuanbai slammed his fist against the wall with a "bang".
Then he jumped up, his eyes shining like a wild wolf, and decided to go see Lin Han'er.
Lin Han'er was confined to the courtyard by Prime Minister Lin because of Gu Yuanbai's matter when she suddenly heard a knocking sound outside the window.
Upon opening the window and seeing Gu Yuanbai's face, Lin Han'er asked in a low voice, "When did you get back?", afraid of being discovered by the maid.
Didn't Father say that he would be following the Fifth Prince from now on?
Gu Yuanbai pointed to the east wing, indicating that he would wait for her there, and then disappeared in a flash.
Although Lin Han'er found his behavior inexplicable, she still went to the east wing and sent all the maids in the courtyard away.
Gu Yuanbai, who was waiting in the house, stared at Lin Han'er as soon as she pushed the door open, as if he wanted to skin her alive with his eyes.
Oblivious to the situation, Lin Han'er continued to mock, "If you've already latched onto the Fifth Prince, what are you doing back here?"
Lin Han'er's words were exactly what he expected. Gu Yuanbai didn't know how to respond, nor did he intend to.
Seeing that Gu Yuanbai did not refute, it seemed that he had indeed followed the Fifth Prince.
The dog I raised ended up guarding someone else's house in the blink of an eye.
Lin Han'er was extremely angry and scolded Gu Yuanbai, "Don't think that just because you've climbed up a high branch, you can turn a pheasant into a phoenix. You're nothing more than a pet raised by the Lin family..."
After hearing so many angry and humiliating words, one shouldn't have any extra reaction.
But seeing Lin Han'er's incessant chatter, Gu Yuanbai suddenly grabbed her by the neck.
"You're insane, let me go... Go to hell..." Lin Han'er, who was being choked and couldn't breathe, continued to kick and curse at Gu Yuanbai.
Putting aside their social status and position, Gu Yuanbai's power was an oppressive force to her, and there was no possibility of breaking free.
Gu Yuanbai looked at Lin Han'er, who was almost dying from being choked by him, and felt extremely excited.
The savage genes flowing in his blood made him want to continue.
Then Gu Yuanbai increased the pressure on his hands, and Lin Han'er's face turned purple, and tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes.
Lin Han'er's struggles gradually weakened.
If this continued, she might die. Thinking of this, Gu Yuanbai subconsciously loosened his grip.
Lin Han'er suddenly collapsed to the ground, coughing incessantly while bent over.
Seeing Lin Han'er's miserable state, Gu Yuanbai squatted down and asked with concern, as if addressing a beloved lover, "How have you been these past few days, Miss?"
That bastard Gu Yuanbai actually dared to pinch her, and even had the nerve to ask her if she was okay.
Lin Han'er was extremely angry and slapped Gu Yuanbai across the face.
She yelled at him, "What's so good about it! If it weren't for you, you jinx, would I be getting scolded by my father? Why don't you just die! I'm going to kill you today!"
After Lin Han'er finished speaking, she stumbled to her feet, picked up the vase on the table, and smashed it towards Gu Yuanbai's head.
"Bang!" A shattering sound rang out as the vase was smashed to the ground, but Gu Yuanbai easily dodged it.
He actually dared to dodge! Lin Han'er then picked up another vase, but before she could smash it, Gu Yuanbai restrained her wrist.
Under Lin Han'er's incredulous gaze, Gu Yuanbai smiled.
If there is any person in the world who will never change, it will definitely be Lin Han'er.
Beneath that still pretty face lay a deep-seated malice. Gu Yuanbai stared at her for a long while before finally making up his mind.
