Chapter 234 The straw that broke the camel's back for Gu Chengan was Du Ruoling's betrayal
Chu Ruohan watched Ying San's departing back, turned around, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling her hair.
Gu Junze asked her to leave the Marquis' Mansion because he was afraid that Marquis Anyang would attack her, so he wanted to protect her in this way.
Chu Ruohan's hands unconsciously clenched the windowsill, and she whispered softly, "Will I be safe if I leave?"
If Marquis Anyang really wanted to attack her, she would not be truly safe no matter where she hid.
Besides, she has a family...
"No." Chu Ruohan turned around abruptly, and she decided to strike first.
"Yingqing, I want to see Minister Liu." Chu Ruohan's voice was firm and clear.
Ying Qing was stunned when she heard this, but quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Madam. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on Minister Liu's whereabouts."
Chu Ruohan nodded slightly, walked to the table and sat down.
She couldn't just be a spectator in this game, especially since Gu Junze was far away in the military camp.
This time, Marquis Anyang dared to attack Gu Junze, and next time he might attack someone around her.
As her thoughts raced, she picked up the teacup on the table, only to find that the tea was cold.
Chu Ruohan spent the whole night thinking about countermeasures. It was not until the dawn of light appeared in the east that she realized that she had not slept all night.
"Young Madam, it's time for you to rest." Seeing that she was still sitting in front of the window, Yuling couldn't help but step forward and persuade her.
Chu Ruohan rubbed his brows and said, "I'm fine."
As he was speaking, Aunt Zhao's voice came from outside the door, "Young Madam..."
Chu Ruohan immediately packed up and changed her clothes.
Aunt Zhao frowned when she saw Chu Ruohan's haggard face, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"
"Why is Auntie here?"
Aunt Zhao was very excited. "Today is the opening day of the dim sum shop. Let's go!"
As he said that, he went to pull Chu Ruohan, but Chu Ruohan didn't move.
Chu Ruohan then remembered this matter and realized that she had indeed forgotten about opening the shop.
At this moment, her mind was completely focused on Gu Junze and Anyang Hou, and she had no time to take care of the shop.
Aunt Zhao was puzzled. "What's wrong? How can you, the boss behind the scenes, not go?"
"Auntie..."
Chu Ruohan was about to explain, but saw Ying Qing standing outside the door, looking embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Her heart moved, and she immediately said, "Auntie, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll leave the shop to you."
Aunt Zhao stepped forward and touched Chu Ruohan's forehead, and asked worriedly, "What's going on? You weren't pretending to be sick with the Marquis's wife, and it became real!"
Chu Ruohan forced a smile and shook her head.
Aunt Zhao saw that she looked really bad and sighed, "Okay, I'm here at the shop, don't worry, just have a good rest!
"Have you asked a doctor to take a look..."
Aunt Zhao gave some instructions and then turned to Yuling, "Take good care of the young lady!"
After Aunt Zhao left, Chu Ruohan immediately waved to Ying Qing to come in.
"There's news from Minister Liu..."
Ying Qing hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth slightly, but swallowed the words back with an embarrassed look on his face.
Allen Chu frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Ying Qing whispered, "Young Madam, please come with me to take a look!"
Chu Ruohan immediately followed Ying Qing out of the house.
It’s Yuanlai Inn again…
Ying Qing took Chu Ruohan around to the back door of the inn and hid in an inconspicuous corner.
"That's the one." Ying Qing pointed to the fat man who had just come out of the back door not far away.
Chu Ruohan looked in the direction Ying Qing pointed, and saw a fat middle-aged man coming out of the back door of the inn.
What surprised her was that there was a woman next to the man - Du Ruoling.
No wonder Ying Qing looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Du Ruoling was seen holding Minister Liu's arm, and the two of them were chatting and laughing affectionately, not caring about the eyes of outsiders at all.
Du Ruoling deliberately rubbed her body against Minister Liu, gently tapping his chest with her fingers, and said coquettishly, "Since you say you love me, you can only have me in your heart from now on."
"I'm not one of those women who stays in the boudoir and tolerates having three wives and four concubines. No matter how many concubines you have had in the past, from now on, you have to get rid of them all. What I want is to be with one person for the rest of my life."
Minister Liu was completely bewitched by her and had no choice but to respond to Du Ruoling's words.
He nodded hurriedly: "Of course, my little darling, from now on you are the only one in my heart."
After hearing this, Du Ruoling raised a smug smile, but she was still not satisfied.
She put her arms around Minister Liu's neck and continued to act coquettishly, "Just talking won't do. You have to divorce the one at home right away."
"You know, I even abandoned the Second Young Master of the Marquisate for you. You must not let me down."
Minister Liu tightened his grip around her, his fat palm rubbing back and forth across Du Ruoling's waist.
With a smile on his face, he repeatedly assured me: "I will definitely stop, baby, don't worry, I will find a chance to do it..."
Chu Ruohan raised her eyebrows. It turned out that the last straw that broke the camel's back for Gu Chengan was Du Ruoling's betrayal.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. In her previous life, she had actually been branded a jinx by such a person, suffered all kinds of grievances and contempt, and even implicated her parents, siblings, and so on...
She was too lazy to look at it anymore. These two shameless dogs were so disgusting that she was afraid she would vomit.
He turned around to leave, but saw Gu Chengan when he turned around.
He was not far away, staring at the couple, with no expression on his face, as if he had expected it.
Chu Ruohan hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Gu Chengan.
"You saw it too." Chu Ruohan said softly.
Gu Chengan turned around and saw Chu Ruohan was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly, "Yeah, I saw it all."
"Do you want to find a place to sit?" Chu Ruohan asked.
Gu Cheng'an nodded, and the two of them walked into a nearby teahouse and found a secluded place to sit down.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Gu Cheng'an poured a cup of tea for Chu Ruohan with a calm tone.
Chu Ruohan took the teacup and said lightly: "I didn't expect it either."
After a moment of silence, Gu Cheng'an suddenly spoke, "If I hadn't faked my death and married you instead, would everything be different?"
Chu Ruohan took a sip of tea and said, "There are no ifs in the world."
A trace of sadness flashed across Gu Chengan's eyes, "Yes, there is no if."
Chu Ruohan looked at his lonely expression and couldn't help but think of Gu Chengan in her previous life.
Perhaps he was also so decadent and regretful at that time...
But fortunately, God gave her a chance to start over.
"What are your plans next?" Chu Ruohan asked softly.
Gu Chengan shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe I can leave the capital and start over somewhere where no one knows me."
"Do you plan to return to the Marquis' Mansion?" Chu Ruohan asked tentatively.
In his previous life, Gu Cheng'an was heartbroken and wanted to return to the Marquis' Mansion, but was killed by Gu Chengyan.
At that time, Gu Chengyan had just been named the crown prince, so naturally he could not accept Gu Chengan, the unstable factor.
Gu Chengan laughed at himself, "Do I still have the nerve to go back?"
