Chapter 65 Chu Yanluo Hangs Herself
When they went to the brothel to drink and have fun, Gu Qianhan only cared about drinking. He didn't even bother to look at those charming and scantily clad women. His indifference to desire made people wonder if he was still a man.
Xiao Qingyuan thought he was calm and composed enough, but when he encountered women with good figures, he couldn't help but take a few more glances through the thin veil to admire the beautiful figures of young women.
After all, who wouldn't like something beautiful?
But Gu Qianhan, that weirdo, just doesn't like it.
After thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "No, Gu Qianhan won't touch Yan Luo."
Seeing that Xiao Qingyuan trusted Gu Qianhan so much, Yuan Zheng felt very unhappy and even felt a strong sense of jealousy and resentment.
He was clearly the best brother that Xiao Qingyuan himself acknowledged. No matter what happened, he always volunteered to contribute money and effort, much more proactive than Gu Qianhan!
Why did Xiao Qingyuan suspect him first after the incident, instead of Gu Qianhan?
That's not fair!
Yuan Zheng wiped the blood from his nose and deliberately threw out a question at Xiao Qingyuan, trying to make him think the wrong thing: "Then tell me, Your Highness, why did I pass out after only drinking a few cups of wine?"
"What? You've fainted?"
"Yes, I got drunk after a few drinks. I'm usually a heavy drinker, but I just happened to go to your place and drink the wine that Gu Qianhan brought, and then I got completely drunk!"
"You mean, Gu Qianhan put drugs in the wine she brought?"
"I didn't say that, but Gu Qianhan really didn't drink a drop of alcohol that night."
Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "He didn't drink a drop of alcohol? That doesn't make sense. He usually drinks more than I do."
Yuan Zheng watched as Xiao Qingyuan went from trusting Gu Qianhan to beginning to doubt her, and finally felt a little better: "Qingyuan, why don't you just ask Chu Yanluo who touched her? Her words are the most credible, aren't they?"
How can her words be trusted?
Xiao Qingyuan no longer trusts anyone, but Yuan Zheng is right. He should indeed go back and ask Chu Yanluo. After all, comparing the two sides would tell him whether Yuan Zheng had lied to him or not.
Soon, he returned to the Prince's Mansion and went to Guan Chuyanluo's woodshed.
As soon as he entered, he saw a white silk ribbon hanging from the beam of the woodshed, and Chu Yanluo was standing on a pile of firewood, putting the white silk ribbon around her neck.
The next moment, she kicked away the firewood and was suspended in mid-air.
"Yanluo!"
Xiao Qingyuan broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly stepped forward and lifted her off the white silk.
While trying to soothe Chu Yanluo, he said angrily, "What are you doing?! Chu Yanluo, it's just a small matter, why do you want to die again? Are you stupid?"
Tears streamed down Chu Yanluo's face as she said, her face pale, "A trivial matter? Does the young master think this is a trivial matter? If the young master thinks this is a trivial matter, why did you lock me in the woodshed?"
"Even if I lock you in the woodshed, you wouldn't want to kill yourself! You only have one life; once you're gone, it's over! You must live well!"
Chu Yanluo turned her head away, no longer looking at him, her tone resolute: "This world is too dirty, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
“This filthy world is not worthy of my pure soul. A pure person like me is unwilling to associate with those vulgar people, so I cannot live in this world, nor do I intend to live. If it weren’t for my deep reluctance to part with the Crown Prince, I would have understood myself long ago and disappeared from this filthy world.”
"Yanluo, you..."
"Your Highness, please grant my wish and don't save me anymore."
As Chu Yanluo spoke, she pushed him away forcefully, then reached out and pulled the white silk ribbon over her neck.
Xiao Qingyuan pulled her back abruptly: "Enough! Stop trying to kill yourself! If there's something to it, just explain it clearly. Don't use such extreme methods to prove your innocence."
Chu Yanluo threw herself into his arms and then rubbed against him intentionally or unintentionally: "I've already said that I'm the victim, but the prince doesn't believe me, and I have no other choice. If even the prince doesn't believe me in this world, I don't know who else will."
Xiao Qingyuan remained stiff, neither hugging her nor pushing her away.
In the past, Chu Yanluo would never have been so close to him. He dreamed of holding her and being close to her, but he was afraid of being too forward and making her angry.
After all, she had said that she had been forced by a man before, which left her with psychological trauma. She was afraid of contact with men and didn't like them at all.
Holding her like this, feeling her strong dependence and trust, Xiao Qingyuan suddenly had a thought: What if? What if Chu Yanluo was also forced this time?
Neither Yuan Zheng nor Gu Qianhan are people Chu Yanluo can contend with!
After being forced, Chu Yanluo refused to say anything, which was normal, since it wasn't something to be proud of. And given her strong personality, she would rather bear the immense pain alone than cry to him.
Chu Yanluo knew Xiao Qingyuan very well. Seeing that he didn't push her away, she knew that he had softened his heart again.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued in a pitiful tone, "Besides the young master, I have no one else close to me. The Chu family doesn't want me anymore, my former friends all pretend not to know me, and now even the Jixin Nunnery won't take me in. I have nowhere to go. The young master had me locked in this woodshed, which is forcing me to my death. So, I might as well die. Once I'm dead, everything will be peaceful."
Xiao Qingyuan's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment. It was impossible for him to immediately stop liking Chu Yanluo. He had liked her for so long and longed to marry her as his princess. The depth of his feelings for her was unique in the entire capital.
However, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened about Chu Yanluo sleeping with another man.
After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Yanluo, tell me the truth, who was that man the night before last?"
Chu Yanluo looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears: "Do you still mind this? What's there to mind? Didn't you say before that no matter what happened between me and other people, you didn't care, you only cared about me as a person, so even if I was pregnant with another man's child, you would still love me as always?"
"How come everything has changed now? Your promises have all become empty words, your love for me has all disappeared, I am so disappointed in you."
"Qingyuan, my heart belongs to you, and my soul belongs entirely to you. My body is just a mortal body, an illusion. You should take these things lightly. Don't be a vulgar person like the rest of the world. You are extraordinary, you are exceptional, and you should abandon those base and worldly thoughts."
Xiao Qingyuan felt somewhat ashamed after hearing her words. He hadn't realized that he was extraordinary and remarkable in Chu Yanluo's heart: "Alright, I can set aside those worldly thoughts, but you have to tell me, who exactly is that man? Is it Yuan Zheng, or Gu Qianhan?"
Chu Yanlu bit her lip and whispered, "It's Gu Qianhan."
