Chapter 419 Cheng An, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! You can't divorce me...
The next day, when Gu Junze woke up, Chu Ruohan was still sleeping beside him with a peaceful face.
He gently gathered the quilt for her, his movements gentle, for fear of waking her. After confirming that she was sleeping soundly, Gu Junze got up from the bed and dressed neatly.
As soon as the door was opened, Yuling stepped forward with a hint of hesitation on her face.
"General, the second young master came last night." She looked at Gu Junze hesitantly.
When Gu Junze heard this, his brows twitched slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said "hmm" lightly and motioned her to lead the way.
He followed Yuling across the courtyard and went straight to the pharmacy temporarily set up in the side yard.
In the pharmacy, Gu Cheng'an had woken up and was sitting on the head of the bed. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes had regained clarity.
Seeing Gu Junze come in, he immediately struggled to get up. "Brother."
Gu Junze quickly stepped forward and held his shoulders. "Lie down."
He had already heard Yuling briefly describe what happened last night and knew about Gu Cheng'an's predicament.
He didn't exchange pleasantries, but simply asked directly, "Who gave you the medicine?"
Gu Cheng'an didn't hide anything, his eyes instantly turning cold. "Du Ruoling."
Gu Junze frowned when he heard this, and didn't wait for him to ask any further questions.
Song Ruyan rushed in. She originally came to see Chu Ruohan, but after hearing what the maid said about Gu Chengan, she ran over immediately.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard Gu Cheng'an's words and immediately asked bluntly, "Aren't you a couple? She drugged you to liven up the atmosphere. Why are you running to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night? Are you not capable?"
Doctor Qian regretted that he had acted too late and hadn't shut her up. How could she say anything? He stood aside, his face flushed.
"Auntie, shut up!" Yuling blushed and hurried forward to grab Song Ruyan's arm, trying to pull her aside, preferably out.
But Song Ruyan was unwilling to do so. How could she miss such a lively event?
She shook her arms to prevent Yuling from pulling her away.
Gu Cheng'an didn't have the energy to argue with her. He took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart.
"Brother, can you let Doctor Qian come with me?"
He wasn't afraid of being embarrassed if he told others about it, nor did he care about his reputation, but Du Ruoling's methods frightened him.
He was worried that other doctors would be bribed by Du Ruoling. After much thought, he felt that Doctor Qian was the most suitable. Firstly, he was from his eldest brother's family, and secondly, he trusted Doctor Qian's medical skills and character.
Gu Junze looked at Doctor Qian. Doctor Qian really didn't want to get involved in their family affairs, especially such dirty things.
He was hesitating about how to decline politely, but Song Ruyan jumped over and agreed on behalf of Doctor Qian.
"Okay, no problem, let's go now!" she said, and pulled Dr. Qian's sleeve.
Doctor Qian's body stiffened, and as he looked at Song Ruyan's bright eyes, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Why did he fall in love with Song Ruyan, a girl who speaks out loud?
He sighed and nodded resignedly.
Princess Anping's Mansion.
Du Ruoling did not sleep all night and paced back and forth in the hall restlessly.
When she heard the servant report that Gu Cheng'an had returned, she was immediately delighted and hurried to meet him.
She opened her mouth and was about to explain what happened last night, but before she could say anything, she saw two people following Gu Cheng'an, one was Doctor Qian, and the other was Song Ruyan.
Her smile froze on her face instantly, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.
Gu Cheng'an glanced at her forced smile, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
He said directly to Doctor Qian: "Doctor Qian, please take her pulse."
Du Ruoling's face turned pale when she heard that.
Her belly is fake, wouldn't it be exposed immediately after taking her pulse?
She subconsciously took a step back, her eyes flickering, and she forced a smile and said, "Cheng'an, what are you doing? I'm fine, why are you taking my pulse?"
"I can explain what happened last night. Listen to me, I just love you too much. Seeing you sleeping in a separate room from me every day, I felt uncomfortable, so I was confused for a moment..."
Du Ruoling still wanted to coax him and tried to change the subject.
Gu Cheng'an remained unmoved. He stood there, his eyes as cold as a frozen lake.
"If you were really pregnant, why did you drug me?" His voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Du Ruoling's heart hard.
Du Ruoling was extremely nervous and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She couldn't find a good reason to refuse and her mind was in a mess.
What would happen if Gu Cheng'an knew that she was faking her pregnancy? She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Song Ruyan didn't have the time to waste with her. She didn't have a good impression of Du Ruoling in the first place, and she had also heard about what happened to Gu Chengan last night from Doctor Qian.
She took a few steps forward and grabbed Du Ruoling's wrist.
"Doctor Qian, take my pulse."
She pushed Du Ruoling's wrist directly in front of Doctor Qian.
"Let me go! What are you doing? Gu Cheng'an! Tell them to let me go!" Du Ruoling screamed and struggled hard, trying to shake off Song Ruyan's hand.
She twisted her body, cursing Song Ruyan and Doctor Qian, while looking at Gu Chengan pleadingly.
"Cheng'an! You can't do this to me! I'm your wife! I'm pregnant with your child!"
Amid Du Ruoling's screams and curses, Dr. Qian reluctantly took her pulse.
He examined it carefully for a moment, then withdrew his hand and looked at Gu Cheng'an.
"Deputy General Gu, she is indeed not pregnant." Doctor Qian's voice was calm, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in Du Ruoling's ears.
Du Ruoling's body froze instantly, and all her struggles and shouts stopped abruptly.
She widened her eyes and looked at Doctor Qian in disbelief, then turned to look at Gu Cheng'an, her face as pale as death.
Gu Cheng'an had anticipated this and believed it was just a formality.
Doctor Qian's words only confirmed his suspicions. He calmly pulled out a letter of divorce that he had prepared long ago.
He wrote the divorce letter overnight in the pharmacy after waking up last night.
He walked to the table and placed the divorce letter on it.
"From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other." Gu Cheng'an's voice was cold and resolute.
Du Ruoling looked at the divorce letter, as if the whole world collapsed in an instant.
Her fingers trembled as she reached out for the thin piece of paper, but then retracted them.
"No... this is not true..." Du Ruoling's voice was hoarse. She raised her head, her eyes full of despair and pleading, "Cheng'an, I was wrong. I know I was wrong! You can't divorce me..."
Gu Chengan looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes: "We ended a long time ago, and this marriage was deceived by you."
"I do this because I love you!" Du Ruoling suddenly knelt down and hugged Gu Cheng'an's legs. "You forced me to do this! You never looked me in the eye, you never touched me! I just wanted to keep you!"
