Gu Yunran's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lu Qingzhou knew about her and Mu Qianchen?
She thought to herself, "If it comes out at this critical moment, how can she get a divorce?" This opportunity has finally come, and she will not give it up.
Her palms were sweaty from nervousness, and she asked tentatively, "Lu Qingzhou, what are you crazy about? How did I offend you?"
She reached out and pushed Lu Qingzhou away. Although she was awake, she was still very weak. Besides, the poison was only controlled and not yet eliminated.
Lu Qingzhou pressed her like this, and she felt so uncomfortable that she almost died.
"Cough cough cough." Gu Yunran coughed violently, his face turned pale, and it seemed that he was breathing out more than breathing in. Lu Qingzhou was frightened, and he loosened his grip on Gu Yunran's neck.
"Yes, I'm sorry." He was a little at a loss, "I, I was too angry and couldn't control myself for a moment."
He lowered his head, looking very aggrieved. He squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears: "Yun Ran, it's so hard for me out there. As my wife and the mistress of the Lu family, why don't you help me?"
"Do you know what kind of life I've been living out there?" He suddenly stood up and pointed at Gu Yunran, roaring, "I went to the palace to ask for medicine for you, but the Queen Mother not only refused to see me, but she also ordered someone to beat me up."
"When I was on duty at the Dali Temple, even the lowest-ranking guard could order me around at any time. I originally thought that Minister Li would take a fancy to me and use me, but..."
As if realizing something, Lu Qingzhou immediately shut up.
He wiped away his tears and said, "Yun Ran, it's so hard for me. I'm so tired. Please go back and talk to my father-in-law and ask him to change my position for me."
Lu Qingzhou hugged Gu Yunran, leaned on her shoulder, and cried like a child. If it were in the past, Gu Yunran would definitely have softened her heart.
But after experiencing the painful lessons of her previous life, she no longer had any feelings for this man, so where did she get any sympathy from?
She pushed him away and said indifferently, "As a woman in the inner chamber, I can't really help with matters in the court."
"You can, but you just don't want to. I'm your husband, why wouldn't you want to help me? Gu Yunran, are you just going to watch your husband being trampled underfoot without helping?"
"How can you be so cold!"
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Lu Qingzhou raised his hand to slap Gu Yunran, but Taohua came in just in time and kicked him away.
"Madam!" Taohua supported Gu Yunran and looked at Lu Qingzhou with cold eyes, as if she wanted to kill someone.
She clenched her fists.
"coward!"
Lu Qingzhou cried out, got up from the ground, and glared at Taohua: "What did you say?"
"I call you a coward!" Taohua stared at Lu Qingzhou with a cold face, not afraid at all. She said righteously, "You wag your tail like a dog outside and beg for mercy, but at home you turn your fists against your woman. If you're not a coward, what are you?"
"How dare a lowly girl talk to her master like that?" Lu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and swung his hand to slap Taohua, but Taohua grabbed his arm and twisted it, making him cry out.
His arm was almost broken, Taohua let him go, and Lu Qingzhou ran away like a mouse.
"Madam, I have checked and there is nothing wrong with that doctor." Taohua talked about business. Gu Yunran had already known that this would be the result, so she was not surprised.
"It was someone from the mansion who poisoned me."
Taohua was surprised: "Is it the old lady?"
Gu Yunran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "If it's not her, it must be her, and she has an accomplice."
Taohua didn't know what Gu Yunran meant by this, but she knew that Madam had her own plans. She asked, "Madam, is there anything I can do for you?"
Gu Yunran whispered a few words in her ear, Taohua nodded, and walked out.
At this time, Zhuye came back. Gu Yunran handed Zhuye a glass of water and asked, "Have you sent it out?"
Zhuye took a sip of water to moisten her dry throat, then nodded: "I have handed it over to Steward Chen, who immediately put down his work and went to the Gu Mansion."
"Okay." Gu Yunran felt relieved.
"It should be safe this time." She breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face as if she saw her freedom.
"Madam, the eldest master is here."
A maid came hurriedly to report. Gu Yunran paused with her tea in hand. "My brother is here? How come he's here so soon?"
Gu Yunran looked at Zhuye, and Zhuye also looked at Gu Yunran blankly and shook her head. She had just returned and Butler Chen had just left. The Gu family should not have received the letter at this time.
"Quick, take me to see it."
She put down her teacup and stood up in a hurry. She almost stumbled when she reached the door because she was in such a hurry. "Madam, be careful."
Zhuye gently supported her.
"fine."
Gu Yunran was extremely anxious as she had only seen her brother three times since the day she got married.
She turned to the maid beside her and said, "Go and report to the old lady."
Now that my brother is here, the Lu family should treat him well.
"yes."
The little girl ran out in a hurry, but came back dejectedly after a while. The reason was simple: Old Madam Lu said she was not feeling well and didn't want to see anyone.
In fact, her words were very unpleasant. She scolded Gu Yunran for having a good family background but not being able to help her son at all. Her son was still just a small patrol officer in the Dali Temple.
"It's better not to have such a relative-in-law. You still want me, an old woman, to go out and entertain him? Dream on!" She was generous enough not to use the broom to chase him away.
Gu Yunran's face was not good. "My brother is here, and she is so disrespectful."
She went to the front hall in person and saw the man standing at the door of the front hall pacing back and forth on the corridor from a distance, as if he was waiting for her anxiously.
