Chapter 123 Dirty from the Inside Out
Chu Nanxin hugged the quilt, his eyes empty and lifeless, and slumped on the bed.
The dim candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating her pale face, and her exposed skin was covered with purple marks.
The room was filled with a lewd smell, as if her shattered dignity was rotting in the air.
With a "creak", the door was pushed open again and a figure walked in.
Chu Nanxin raised his head, and his eyes instantly ignited with rage, full of resentment and questioning.
"Am I your biological child?" Chu Nanxin's voice trembled as she questioned, "You are my mother, and you actually hired someone to defile me!"
Her voice grew louder and louder, until she almost roared at the top of her lungs, and the sound was particularly shrill in the silent night.
Aunt Fang was slightly startled, and a hint of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She sighed softly, walked slowly to Chu Nanxin's side, reached out her hand to touch her daughter's hair, but Chu Nanxin avoided her in disgust.
"Xin'er, mother is at her wit's end." Aunt Fang's voice was filled with helplessness. "Didn't Gu Chengyan just touch you? If you could get pregnant, wouldn't he have taken you back home?"
"If mother doesn't do this, you will be married off to a lowly fellow by that old man, and you will have to live a life of poverty and be looked down upon and bullied by others for the rest of your life."
Chu Nanxin's face was filled with disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, "Then how do you know that I can't have Gu Chengyan's child?"
"Just because of this, are you going to use such despicable means to destroy me?" Her voice was filled with tears.
Aunt Fang frowned, a look of determination in her eyes.
"Everything must go perfectly smoothly. You must be pregnant in a month. If you carry Gu Chengyan's eldest son, you will be honored as a mother. Not only will I be able to take you home, but you will also be worthy of being his wife."
"Xin'er, if a woman wants to stand tall, she must be ruthless."
Aunt Fang's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Nanxin's heart.
Her heart began to waver.
If she could really get pregnant with Gu Chengyan's child as his mother said, he would take her back.
But is it really worth it? Is my dignity and innocence really worthless?
"But if people find out, will I still be able to survive?"
Chu Nanxin couldn't imagine what kind of consequences she would face if this matter were made public, how Gu Chengyan would view her, and how the world would despise her.
A ruthless light flashed in Aunt Fang's eyes. She held Chu Nanxin's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, no one will know. Mother will make all the arrangements. As long as you are obedient, everything will go smoothly."
At this moment, Fang Ruo, the maid beside Aunt Fang, gently pushed open the door and walked in.
She bowed slightly and nodded to Aunt Fang.
It seems that everything has been cleaned up.
Only then did Aunt Fang feel completely relieved. This matter must be kept secret, and only the dead can keep a secret forever.
She turned around, picked up the bowl of steaming medicine on the table, and slowly walked to Chu Nanxin.
"Be good, drink this bowl of pregnancy medicine. It will get cold if you don't drink it now." Aunt Fang's voice became gentle, with a hint of coaxing.
Chu Nanxin looked at the bowl of black medicine and felt a strong sense of nausea.
She hesitated for a moment, took the medicine bowl, closed her eyes, and drank the bitter medicine in one gulp.
The medicine flowed down her throat, carrying with it a burning force that completely extinguished her last bit of self-esteem.
Now she has no way out.
From then on, Chu Nanxin would change a man every night, like a prostitute, with her jade arms being rested on by everyone and her red lips being offered to anyone.
She felt dirty from the inside out.
And Aunt Fang pimping for her daughter all night long is simply a joke...
Aunt Fang thought she could hide the truth, but she didn't know that Chu Ruohan had already planted someone around her.
"Young Madam, our people have sent a message." Yuling walked hurriedly into the study with small steps.
Her voice broke the silence in the room, and Chu Ruohan paused slightly while practicing calligraphy.
A drop of ink dripped down the tip of the pen, spreading across the white rice paper, instantly ruining the large character she had worked so hard to write.
Chu Ruohan frowned slightly, put down the brush in her hand, picked up the handkerchief, wiped the ink stains on her fingertips, and said in a light tone, "What's the matter?"
"After the third young lady returned, strange men would come in and out of her yard every night." Yuling said in a low voice with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruohan's eyes instantly became sharp, "Can you see clearly who it is?"
Yuling shook her head. "She's just a maid, of low status, so she didn't dare get too close. She could only see from a distance that the men had different figures, so they couldn't be the same person."
"Furthermore, the Third Miss and Concubine Fang seem to be deliberately concealing the truth. They are also very cautious on weekdays, making it difficult for our people to find out more information."
Chu Ruohan fell into deep thought, her fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
She met a man at night, and it wasn't the same man. What did Chu Nanxin want to do?
A bold idea suddenly flashed through Chu Ruohan's mind...
Is Chu Nanxin really that bold? Is he trying to confuse the bloodline of the Marquisate?
If it is just as she thought, then this scene will be interesting.
"You should arrange a few smart people to keep an eye on this matter secretly and make sure to find out the identities and origins of those men. Remember, you must be careful and not alert the enemy." Chu Ruohan pondered for a moment and instructed Yuling.
"Yes, young madam, I will do it right away." After receiving the order, Yuling turned around and hurriedly left the study.
Chu Ruohan stood up and slowly walked to the window. She looked at the pots of chrysanthemums outside, but her heart could not calm down.
After investigating the matter, it was found that all the men Yu Chunan had had one-night stands with had disappeared without a trace.
Even the maid who cleaned the house was silenced.
Another piece of news came back: Concubine Fang is pregnant...
Chu Ruohan sat upright on the carved chair in the study, her fingers gently stroking the edge of the teacup, her eyes growing colder.
My father put a lot of thought into marrying my mother and never thought of taking a concubine.
It was also an accident that made Concubine Fang pregnant, which gave her an identity.
As far as Chu Ruohan knew, her father never touched Aunt Fang again after that.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Yuling standing in front of her. Her voice was calm but revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Let our people withdraw, and leave this matter to Song Ruyan."
She is a skilled martial artist
Yuling was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement, "Yes, Madam, I will send Song Ruyan to the Chu family and keep a close eye on the Third Miss."
Chu Ruohan shook her head gently, "No, I was staring at Aunt Fang."
In her previous life, Chu Ruohan only thought that Chu Nan was cruel and ruthless, completely disregarding sisterly affection, but now she felt that Aunt Fang was the one with the deepest thoughts...
