Chapter 39: Beating



Mu Qianchen was standing behind the curtain holding Gu Yunran. As long as he took a step forward, she would be unable to speak. Gu Yunran's heart was in her throat.

In a hurry, she raised her head and kissed Mu Qianchen's lips.

"Fourth sister-in-law." Lu Jiajia called again.

She took a step forward and was about to go in when suddenly a gust of wind blew by, making the doors and windows bang loudly. Lu Jiajia was startled and ran out in a hurry.

Gu Yunran breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to push Mu Qianchen away, but Mu Qianchen lifted the back of her neck with his hand and kissed her fiercely, while his hand also reached inside her by unbuttoning her clothes.

Gu Yunran's sanity completely collapsed at this moment. She had been drugged, and the heat in her body began to boil over.

Her arms tightened.

Mu Qianchen took her in his arms and placed her on the flower stand.

***

When Gu Yunran woke up, she found her clothes in disarray. The bruises on her body told her what she had been through, and she subconsciously straightened her clothes.

I raised my eyes to glance at the bedside, but his shadow was no longer there.

There are bloodstains on the bed sheet. I don’t know if it’s hers or his. If someone finds out like this...

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with it, there was a knock on the door.

"lady."

Gu Yunran was startled and she didn't dare to respond.

She looked around and looked towards the window. She quietly walked to the window and gently pushed it open. Outside was a pond with the tips of lotus leaves already showing.

What happens if you jump out?

Just as she was hesitating, the maid outside the door seemed to know her worries and whispered in a low voice: "I am a maid in the Mu Mansion. Master Mu asked me to come here."

"Madam, may I come in?"

Gu Yunran let out a long sigh, immediately lowered the window, and said, "Come in."

"yes."

The maid was very pretty and was holding a light pink silk dress in her hands.

The little girl lowered her head very respectfully: "Madam, I will help you change your clothes."

Gu Yunran nodded, and the little girl was very skillful and quickly helped her change her clothes. Only then did Gu Yunran realize that the dress she sent was very similar to the one she was wearing, and even the size was just right.

However, she was now thinner and the clothes were a little loose. A smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly remembered that her second cousin Gu Qingyue had a similar figure to hers.

This must be the clothes he prepared for Gu Qingyue.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Gu Yunran's mouth. She had really thought too much just now.

The maid quickly cleaned up the room, disposed of the bloody bed sheet, and wiped away all traces of what had just happened, as if nothing had happened.

"Madam." The maid handed Gu Yunran something as she turned to leave. "This is what Master Mu ordered me to bring."

Gu Yunran looked at the ointment in the maid's palm. It was cool and relieving of swelling. Her cheeks instantly turned red, almost to the point of being hot.

The maid placed the ointment on the table and retreated respectfully, without even looking up at Gu Yunran's face.

Gu Yunran just walked out of the room and ran into Lu Jiajia in the corridor. Lu Jiajia angrily asked Gu Yunran: "Fourth sister-in-law, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Gu Yunran: "I felt dizzy and rested for a while in the side hall."

Lu Jiajia snorted coldly, "Just a quick nap?" She stretched her neck to peer into the room. "Could it be that my brother doesn't want to consummate the marriage with you, and you're out looking for a man because you can't stand the loneliness?"

As she said that, Lu Jiajia ran into the room and looked around carefully, but found nothing there, not to mention the wild man, even the bed was clean.

She frowned and muttered to herself: The little girl in front of Princess Pingyang clearly told her that she saw her fourth sister-in-law enter the house with a strange man.

Lu Jiajia felt a little disappointed as she didn't find anything.

She walked out of the room dejectedly, and when she turned around, she saw that Gu Yunran was gone.

She left.

He left without waiting for her?

Lu Jiajia was furious. She ran all the way to catch up and reached the gate in one breath, but found that Gu Yunran's carriage had already left.

"Gu Yunran, just wait for me."

She could only walk back to Lu Mansion angrily.

In the corner, after Gu Yunran's carriage left, Princess Pingyang came out. Her eyes were full of anger, and she slapped the maid Caixuan in the face.

"Didn't you say it was foolproof? How come she's fine?"

Cai Xuan covered her red and swollen cheeks and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "I did put drugs in the incense, and I also arranged for someone to go. I just don't know why that person didn't go."

"It's my fault."

She promised: "Next time, this slave will never make such a mistake. I will bring people to monitor it personally."

"Gu Yunran is not stupid. Is there another chance? If I fail to frame her this time, she will be on guard next time."

Princess Pingyang felt it was a pity to miss this opportunity. If Gu Yunran had not always pestered Brother Qianchen when they were little, she would not have held a grudge against her.

Everyone said that Brother Qianchen had never gotten married because he was thinking about Gu Qingyue, but she didn't think so. She always felt that the person in Mu Qianchen's heart was Gu Yunran.

Suddenly she remembered something and asked worriedly, "Did you find that person and know that you are my maid?"

She was worried that her identity had been exposed.

Cai Xuan shook her head: "My face was covered, so the man didn't know."

"That's good."

However, when she turned around, she felt a blackness above her head. Sacks were put on their heads. She screamed, "How dare you! I am a princess, the younger sister of the current emperor. Let me go!"

"You have kidnapped this princess. The Emperor will not let you go!"

However, the people outside seemed not to hear anything, and a man carrying a sack walked into an alley.

"Where are you taking me? I'll let my brother the emperor kill you!"

Bang!

The two men threw the bag on the ground, and then started punching and kicking the sack until there was no sound coming from it.

"Let's go."

The two men in black looked at each other and left.

Not long after, Princess Pingyang's men arrived and rescued the person from the sack. They were all shocked to see her face turning purple.

"Princess!"

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the princess back to the imperial physician."

Gu Qingyue also hurried over and ordered, "Go and investigate quickly. Who is so bold as to kidnap the princess in broad daylight?"

"yes!"

The leading guard turned around and went to look for clues.

Gu Qingyue waved her hand and ordered someone to carry Princess Pingyang to the carriage. She also hurriedly got on the carriage and left quickly.

In the carriage, Princess Pingyang slowly woke up. The slightest movement of her body caused her to feel excruciating pain. She cried in pain and swore.

"Sister-in-law, we must capture those villains and tear them into pieces."

Gu Qingyue hugged Princess Pingyang to comfort her, and at the same time, her deep eyes were filled with thoughts. Suddenly, she asked, "Did you have someone put the drug in the sandalwood in the side hall?"
