The original owner's status as a singer was vastly different from that of Gu Kongjia, who was the young marshal of the Fengtian clique. Therefore, the original owner never intended to marry Gu Kongjia; she only wanted to use him to obtain some important military secrets.
Although Gu Kongjia liked the original owner, he knew that his family would never allow him to marry her. So he only treated her as a confidant and never expressed his feelings. However, he silently protected her, making those in high positions of power afraid to touch her.
To the original owner's dismay, Gu Kongjia was extremely cautious in military matters. She could only see Gu Kongjia at the nightclub, but could not enter his workplace and had no access to classified information.
Just when the original owner was at her wit's end, she met Gu Kongjia's father, Gu Wei, the commander of the Fengtian clique, while singing. Gu Wei was just sitting in the best seat and listening to the song quietly, but his aura was something that no one could ignore. The original owner thought that this had nothing to do with her, but when the nightclub ended, the owner of the nightclub personally told her that Gu Wei wanted to take her as his ninth concubine.
The original owner was both shocked and frightened. She was shocked that she had caught Gu Wei's eye, and she was frightened that her identity would be exposed. Now that Gu Wei was watching her, she couldn't even escape back to the south. The original owner quickly calmed down. She could only wait and see. If she did something wrong in her haste, it would probably be even more dangerous.
The next day, the original owner realized that something was unusual, because the people in the nightclub treated her the same as usual. For those sycophantic singers, they would never let go of an opportunity to climb up the social ladder. Her sudden transformation from a singer to the commander's concubine was no less than a sparrow flying to the top and becoming a phoenix. You have to know that Gu Wei was equivalent to the local emperor in the north, but they did not come to curry favor with her, which was abnormal in itself.
The original owner asked the nightclub owner, who said that the commander did not want any news to get out before things were settled, which relieved the original owner's doubts somewhat.
Gu Kongjia quickly found the original owner and asked her if she had been forced. The original owner had a feeling that this was a conspiracy by Gu Wei to achieve some goal, but she couldn't figure out what conspiracy had anything to do with her. So she replied that her life was in the hands of others and she couldn't make her own decisions.
Later, news broke that the young marshal of the Fengtian clique wanted to marry the daughter of the Sichuan clique and at the same time make Shengshi's top courtesan his concubine.
The Sichuan clique was a warlord faction in the south. Although its power was not as great as that of the Hunan clique, it was still one of the larger warlord factions in the south. Moreover, the Sichuan clique and the Hunan clique were neighbors, so Gu Wei's purpose was obvious.
The original owner was the daughter of the Fengtian clique, how could she tolerate being someone else's concubine? At first, she planned to have the Hunan clique's mole planted in the northern city send her back to the south, but now that Gu Kongjia and Yang Yue, the eldest daughter of the Sichuan clique, were getting married, she changed her original plan. If she could sabotage the marriage, it would be best to make the Sichuan clique and the Fengtian clique become enemies, which would undoubtedly be most beneficial to the Hunan clique.
It's quite obvious why Gu Wei staged the scene of wanting to take her as a concubine. It must be because Gu Kongjia disagreed with marrying Yang Yue, and Gu Wei used her as a threat to force Gu Kongjia to give in.
Just a few days after the news spread, Gu Kongjia carried her into his home. This action was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Yang Yue. Gu Wei was furious, but there was nothing he could do, so he let Gu Kongjia do as he pleased.
After Gu Kongjia carried the original owner home, although he stayed there every day, nothing happened, which puzzled the original owner.
