Chapter 379 As long as we do it cleanly, who can find out?
Du Ruoling turned her head suddenly and stared at Gu's mother with her bloodshot eyes.
"Your method is totally useless!" she roared. "He only has that bitch Chu Ruohan in his heart! Only her!"
Mother Gu sneered, not hiding the contempt in her eyes.
"Useless? I think it's you who's useless!"
"If you can't even capture a man's heart, how can you compare to Chu Ruohan? She's already married, and she's still hanging on to Cheng An?"
"If you had a child, Cheng'an wouldn't do this for the child's sake..."
Mother Gu's eyes deliberately swept across Du Ruoling's flat belly, and her tone became increasingly harsh.
"What a pity, you are just a hen that doesn't lay eggs!"
The five words "a hen that doesn't lay eggs" were like a poisoned needle, piercing the most painful part of Du Ruoling's heart.
She thought of the two children she had lost in miscarriage, and the excruciating pain almost made her unable to stand.
She subconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was still as flat as before.
However, a trace of fluctuation flashed across his eyes, which was difficult for others to detect, and it was obscure and unclear.
Mother Gu immediately caught her subtle movements and changes in expression.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she took a step forward and asked tentatively, "What? Why are you touching your belly?"
"Could it be... you really are pregnant?"
Du Ruoling's body suddenly stiffened.
She neither admitted nor denied it.
Her eyes flickered, and a crazy idea quickly formed and expanded in her mind.
When Mother Gu saw her like this, she understood everything.
She immediately lowered her voice and leaned close to Du Ruoling's ear, her tone carrying a bewitching magic.
"If it really happens, it would be a great thing!"
"Tie him up with a child and see how he can escape!"
Mother Gu paused, looked at Du Ruoling's slightly trembling eyelashes, and lowered her voice with a hint of viciousness.
"Even if I don't have it now... I can still find a way to have it!"
There was a calculating glint in her eyes, and she began to give Du Ruoling advice in a low voice.
"Find a reliable doctor... Pulse diagnosis is written by humans..."
Du Ruoling suddenly raised her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then was covered by strong desire.
"What did you say?"
Mother Gu sneered and moved closer, with a cold light flashing in her cloudy eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Cheng'an is such a soft-hearted kid. If he knew you had his child, even if you were unwilling, would you really just ignore it?"
Mother Gu's voice was very low and full of temptation.
Du Ruoling's breathing became rapid and her chest heaved violently.
Mother Gu's words lingered in her ears like a spell.
Yes, a child... a child...
That was the only bargaining chip she could think of to tie Gu Chengan back to her side.
"But...how is this possible?" Du Ruoling's voice was still hesitant, "What if we're discovered..."
"Discover?" Mother Gu sneered, "As long as we do it cleanly, who can find out?"
She stretched out her skinny fingers and gently tapped Du Ruoling's lower abdomen.
"Find a doctor who is tight-lipped and greedy for money and asks him to write a pulse diagnosis. It's just a matter of a few taels of silver."
"As for the rest of the story... there's always a way to get through it." A hint of cruelty flashed in Gu's mother's eyes. "As long as you can win Cheng'an's heart again, what's the point of this little risk?"
Du Ruoling's heart skipped a beat when she saw the crazy light in Gu's mother's eyes.
She calmed herself down, took a step back, kept some distance, and looked at the woman in front of her with suspicion.
"You hated me so much before, you saw me as a thorn in your side," Du Ruoling's voice trembled slightly, but also revealed vigilance. "Now you're going to great lengths to help me? What exactly do you want to do?"
A gleam of light flashed in Gu's mother's eyes, and she snorted in her heart: This idiot is quite alert.
She no longer concealed her calculations and simply took a step back, slowly sitting down on the rosewood chair next to her. Her posture seemed somewhat calm.
"My Chengyan is dead."
She spoke each word clearly, each one seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with deep hatred.
"Don't die in vain."
Du Ruoling was startled when she heard this, and blurted out subconsciously: "It was his own greed that blinded him, and he had the intention of treason. He deserved this fate..."
"I don't care!" Gu's mother interrupted her abruptly, and her skinny hands slammed heavily on the armrest of the chair, making a dull "pa" sound, and her eyes were full of undisguised resentment and madness.
"I only know that it was Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan who killed my Yan'er! I want them to pay with their lives!"
Seeing a flash of fear in Du Ruoling's eyes, Mother Gu slowed down her tone a little and forced a cold smile on her face, with a hint of comfort.
"Don't worry, Cheng'an is my own flesh and blood. I will naturally not hurt him in the slightest. My only target is those two people."
She paused, then suddenly changed the subject, her sharp eyes fixed on Du Ruoling again.
"Did she keep all the food I asked you to bring to Chu Ruohan under the pretext of visiting her?"
Du Ruoling calmed herself down, tried to recall the situation at that time, and nodded.
"She stayed and didn't refuse."
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to be suddenly awakened by something, her face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and her voice uncontrollably changed in tone, filled with fear.
"You! You didn't put poison in it, did you?" She took a step back in horror, her body trembling slightly with fear. "You want to kill me? If it's discovered, I'll become your scapegoat!"
Seeing how frightened she was, Mother Gu showed an undisguised sarcastic smile on her face. She slowly picked up the teacup on the table and gently blew away the floating tea leaves.
"Look at your courage." She glanced at Du Ruoling with contempt, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I'm not that stupid."
She took a sip of tea and continued in her leisurely tone, "Don't worry, those things are not poisonous. They are all excellent nourishing foods that are very beneficial to the health of pregnant women."
A malicious smile appeared on Gu's mother's lips.
"But..." She drew out her words, admiring the way the color drained from Du Ruoling's face before adding slowly, "Those things, eaten alone, are naturally nourishing."
"But if you put it together with something, it will damage its foundation over time."
"Even if she doesn't show any signs of it now, giving birth in the future will definitely be extremely difficult, even..."
She didn't finish, but the malice in her unfinished words made Du Ruoling feel cold all over.
This is more insidious than direct poisoning.
Killing people without anyone noticing, and making it impossible to find any evidence.
Du Ruoling looked at Gu's mother and for the first time truly felt the horror of this woman.
She was not crazy, she was calmly planning the most vicious revenge.
