Chapter 113 Gu Junze's Nemesis
"Useless thing, you can't even do this!" an angry shout.
Gu Jiacheng's slap landed heavily on Aunt Li's face with a "pa" sound.
Aunt Li knelt on the cold stone floor, covering her rapidly swollen cheeks, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
It was clearly his drunken nonsense that had offended the Anyang Marquisate. That was why Chu Ruohan had adopted another child, but now he was blaming her for it.
Gu Jiacheng paced back and forth in the room, feeling very annoyed. He had already said it, and now Chu Ruohan regretted it.
Where would he put his face? Wouldn't he be laughed to death by those people?
And if he couldn't climb up to the high branch of the Anyang Marquisate, his future would be...
Gu Jiacheng felt a tightness in his chest, and he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Aunt Li hard, "Get out! Don't bother me here!"
Aunt Li was kicked and fell forward.
She gritted her teeth, held back her tears, slowly stood up, quickened her pace, and walked towards the door.
Gu Jiacheng looked at Aunt Li's departing back, but his eyes suddenly became a little strange.
After giving birth, this woman became much plumper and the flesh grew where it should grow.
Her slender waist was so slender that it could be held in one hand, and her round and perky buttocks swayed gently with her steps, which was quite charming.
"Come back." Gu Jiacheng suddenly spoke.
Aunt Li paused, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
She turned around slowly and saw Gu Jiacheng looking her up and down unscrupulously with a look as if he was looking at a commodity.
A deep sense of uneasiness spread in my heart.
A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Jiacheng's mind.
He thought of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who loved beauties the most. Any woman with a little bit of beauty who came to his house would be doted on by him.
If I offer Concubine Li to this editor, maybe I can win his favor and get myself a position.
Anyway, it seems that the Anyang Marquis Mansion’s path is completely blocked, so it is better to find another way.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiacheng curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer, and reached out to pull Aunt Li into his arms.
Aunt Li screamed and tried to struggle, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move.
The candlelight in the house was still flickering.
I don’t know how long it took, but everything finally returned to calm.
On the bed, Gu Jiacheng fell asleep contentedly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Aunt Li sat on the edge of the bed, her clothes disheveled, her hands trembling as she clutched her skirt. Her legs felt weak, and she stared at the sleeping Gu Jiacheng, her eyes filled with despair and sadness.
Just now, Gu Jiacheng said that if she couldn't make Chu Ruohan change her mind, she would give her to Lord Zheng as a gift.
This is what it means to be a concubine, as lowly as grass. Even if you give birth to a son, you still have no status.
In the eyes of these men, she was nothing more than an object that could be bought, sold, and disposed of at will.
Aunt Li slowly stood up and walked out of the house step by step, dragging her exhausted body.
The night grew deeper, and the moonlight shone on her body, casting a lonely and desolate shadow.
She looked at the endless night, her heart cold...
On the other side, in Hongmeng Courtyard, Gu Junze had just embraced the woman in his arms. His eyes were full of affection and attachment. He lowered his head slightly and slowly moved closer.
The warm breath gently brushed her cheek, and then his lips pressed against Chu Ruohan's lips.
At this moment, a small head suddenly popped up from the head of the bed.
Gu Yun held his new quilt tightly in his arms, opened his big round eyes, and looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity and ignorance.
"Daddy, shame on you. You're so old and still kissing me." Gu Yun's childish voice rang out in the house.
Gu Junze's old face turned red in an instant. He was caught in the act and his face was full of embarrassment.
He hurriedly got off Chu Ruohan in a panic, his movements a little awkward.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to sleep with Haitang?" Gu Junze frowned and looked at him seriously.
Gu Junze found a personal maid for Gu Yun to take care of his daily life. He couldn't always sleep between them.
Isn't he afraid? It's the same even if he has servants accompanying him.
We had already agreed on it, why is the little thing here again?
Gu Yun tilted his head and looked at Gu Junze innocently. He pouted and said, "I don't want to sleep with Haitang. I want to sleep with my mother."
"You are five years old now, and you are a little man. You can't always rely on your mother!" Gu Junze coaxed him patiently.
"Then why did you sleep with mother?" Gu Yun blinked, his clear eyes full of confusion.
As soon as he asked this question, Gu Junze felt a lump in his chest. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Yes, why can he sleep with Chu Ruohan?
Gu Junze thought to himself, that was his legally married wife, of course he had to hold her while sleeping!
But how can I explain this to a five-year-old child?
Chu Ruohan looked at his frustrated expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her laughter was clear and sweet, echoing in the room like a silver bell.
"Alright, alright, come here."
Chu Ruohan said with a smile, her eyes full of doting. She reached out and touched Gu Yun's little head, and that gentle gesture made Gu Yun relax all of a sudden.
Seeing Chu Ruohan speaking up for him, Gu Yun immediately perked up. He climbed onto the bed using his hands and feet and sat down between Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan.
He looked at Gu Junze triumphantly, then hugged his quilt tightly and lay down in Chu Ruohan's arms.
Gu Junze looked at the two, one big and one small, and shook his head helplessly. He felt so angry that his teeth were itching. His plan to sleep with them failed again.
A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
next day
When Aunt Li came to the house again with Xuan'er in her arms, she was stopped outside by the servants of the Marquis' Mansion.
Aunt Li hugged Xuan'er tightly in her arms, her eyes full of anxiety.
"I am the concubine of the second son of the third branch of the Gu family. I often come to see the prince's wife. Please let her know." She forced a smile and said to the servant at the door.
As she spoke, she carefully took out a silver ingot from her bosom and quickly stuffed it into the servant's hand, with a somewhat flattering gesture.
The servant took the silver nonchalantly, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it on the ground casually as if it were garbage.
"Our young lady said she won't see any guests, go back!" His tone was cold and impatient, his eyes full of disdain.
Aunt Li looked at the silver on the ground, and her heart tightened. She knew that it would be difficult to see Chu Ruohan this time.
But she couldn't give up...
