Suddenly, a figure ran past Gu Yuntanran. Gu Yunran pointed at the familiar figure and said in surprise, "Qianbi, it's Xiaochun."
"I will go and get her."
Qianbi chased in the direction Xiaochun fled, and before she knew it, she had chased for two blocks. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "This girl can really run."
After entering a dark alley, Qianbi found someone in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong, "Oh no, miss."
Qianbi ran back quickly, but when she turned around, she saw someone standing in front of her, looking at her coldly. Qianbi's eyes darkened and she asked, "Who sent you to poison the young lady?"
"It doesn't matter who sent me. Today is your day of mourning."
Xiaochun's eyes were cold and gloomy, no longer her usual well-behaved look. She looked like a well-trained killer, and the bad feeling in Qianbi's heart became even stronger.
She took quick action first, wanting to end the battle quickly, but the opponent was too powerful, and his strength was beyond her imagination.
"It seems I really underestimated you!"
"Mutual." Xiaochun curled her lips and smiled. She pulled out the red belt from her waist, which turned out to be a thin and soft long sword. The sword drew a long scratch on the ground, sparks flew, and stabbed towards Qianbi.
The tip of the sword pierced Qianbi's chest. She gritted her teeth and groaned. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she jumped up, turned behind Xiaochun and kicked her hard in the back.
"ah!"
Xiaochun was kicked out and fell to the ground. She vomited blood and fainted.
Qianbi tore off a piece of cloth from her body and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding. Then she reluctantly stood up and walked towards Gu Yunran's position. However, when she returned, it was already...
"Miss?"
Qianbi was startled. She searched for a long time but couldn't find Gu Yunran. Finally, she dragged her injured body to go back, but she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and fainted.
"Asabi——"
***
When Gu Yunran woke up, she was already in a carriage. She felt dizzy and when she slowly opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her, she was startled.
"Lu Qingzhou? Why is it you?"
Gu Yunran stood up and parted the curtain, preparing to jump down. Lu Qingzhou hurriedly grabbed her and said, "If you lose your life like this, won't your mother-in-law cry to death?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunran withdrew her hand. She fiercely shook off Lu Qingzhou's hand, sat back in her original position, looked at Lu Qingzhou coldly, and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Qingzhou slowly straightened the sleeves of his clothes, "Madam, what are you talking about? You are my wife, so of course I will take you home."
Gu Yunran frowned. She had grown up in Shengjing and was very familiar with it. But when she opened the curtain just now and saw the scenery outside...
Her eyes darkened. "This is not the way to the Lu Mansion. Where are you taking me, Lu Qingzhou?"
The small red clay stove burned with a blazing flame, and the crackling sound made Gu Yunran irritated, but Lu Qingzhou seemed to be in a good mood. He picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, pushing one in front of Gu Yunran. He said, "Madam, calm down. I know you like quietness, so I will take you to the farm in the suburbs first."
"Don't worry, I've already sent a letter to my parents-in-law, letting them know that you're doing fine. You can just stay in the manor and take care of your pregnancy."
"Lu Qingzhou, you!" Gu Yunran took a deep breath, her chest heaving with anger. "How could my father and mother agree to let you take me away?"
"I told them you were pregnant."
Lu Qingzhou picked up the teacup, blew on it, and drank gently. Seeing Gu Yunran's murderous eyes, he spoke again, "Don't worry, I said it's our child."
"For the sake of our children, we can't divorce."
Lu Qingzhou spoke quietly, without any anger on his face. Gu Yunran took a deep breath. How could she not have realized that he was such a patient person.
She said decisively: "What is your purpose in trapping me by your side?"
Lu Qingzhou smiled lightly: "Madam, what are you talking about? Of course, I have deep feelings for you and I can't bear to leave you."
Gu Yunran closed her eyes and suppressed the urge to kill. She always felt that Lu Qingzhou was different today than before, which made her puzzled.
On the other side, Qianbi was rescued by Qianli and brought back to the Mu Mansion. After being treated by Doctor Mu, she woke up.
"Qianbi, you're awake."
Qianbi grabbed Qianli's hand and said anxiously, "Miss Gu has been kidnapped. Go and save her."
Qianli was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and looked at Mu Qianchen who was sitting beside him. His face was a little gloomy. He withdrew his gaze and said awkwardly: "Don't say anymore."
"What's wrong?" Qianbi looked confused. "Master, don't you plan to rescue him?"
Qianli lowered his voice and said, "She and Lu Qingzhou went back to the Lu family."
"Then we should go and save him!"
Qianli rubbed his nose, coughed lightly, glanced at Mu Qianchen, and found that he did not show any emotion. He continued, "She wanted to go back on her own, and the master couldn't stop her no matter what."
Qianbi shook her head: "Impossible, how could Miss Gu be willing to go back?"
"Today, Lu Qingzhou went to the Gu Mansion and knelt in front of Miss Gu to beg her, but she refused. How could she suddenly change her mind?"
"There must be something fishy going on here, Master..."
Qianbi looked at Mu Qianchen. Before she could finish her words, Mu Qianchen stood up and left. His face was calm, as if he didn't have much emotion.
Only those who know him well know that he can only be so calm when he is extremely angry.
This is the calm before the storm.
After Mu Qianchen left, Qianbi grabbed Qianli and asked him clearly. It turned out that someone came to the shogunate to report that Lu Qingzhou went to the Gu Mansion to pick up Gu Yunran and take him back to the Lu Mansion. He didn't believe it at first, until...
"The master saw Miss Gu and Lu Qingzhou getting on the carriage in a loving relationship, and also heard Miss Gu say that she regretted it. She couldn't forget Lu Qingzhou. How could she forget the love they had for three years? She poisoned the master. She didn't know how long the master could live, so Lu Qingzhou didn't worry that the master would harm him."
Qianbi frowned deeply when she heard Qianli's words. Her heart skipped a beat and she raised her eyes and asked, "Master, do you believe it?"
"Are you sure that person is Miss Gu herself? There is a kind of disguise in this world. As for the poisoning, we need to investigate further..."
She believed that Gu Yunran would not say such words or do such things, otherwise why would she go to such great lengths to leave the Lu Mansion?
"No one in this world knows the art of disguise better than the master, how come he doesn't know it?" Qianli said, but he also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for the time being.
Mu Qianchen returned to the study, leaned back on the armchair with his eyes closed, and the words Gu Yunran had just said kept coming to his mind.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
