Chapter 47 You're already a widow, let's see how arrogant you are
Chu Ruohan sat quietly on the bed, the person in her arms had a pale face, eyes closed and no life.
Didn’t he say that he would take her to watch the fireworks on her birthday next year?
She believed him.
How could he go back on his word?
Marquis Anyang walked into the house with heavy steps, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and even standing became difficult.
Seeing this, the servant beside him hurriedly reached out to support him, but he waved his hands weakly and forced himself to move forward slowly step by step.
With trembling hands, she gently stroked Gu Junze's face, and tears instantly burst out, "Son, Junze..."
The old voice was filled with endless sorrow.
Chu Ruohan felt her heart trembling, and tears fell drop by drop, wetting Gu Junze's clothes.
Mother Gu rushed in crying, "How could such misfortune happen to you, Junze..."
Her cries echoed in the house, but there was no trace of sorrow in her eyes.
Chu Ruohan no longer cared why she had not been sent to Ganlu Temple.
Marquis Anyang was immersed in grief, his body swaying slightly. Mother Gu hurried forward to support him, "My Lord, please take care of yourself. I'm so sad! Junze is dead, and as his mother, I must see him off."
Marquis Anyang nodded woodenly. He knew very well that Junze's funeral had to be handled properly. The absence of the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion would inevitably cause a lot of controversy.
"go out."
Chu Ruohan hadn't said a word since Gu Junze passed away last night, but at this moment, she seemed to have used up all her strength to say these two short words.
Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
"You..." Anyang Hou was angry and was about to scold, but was stopped by Gu's mother.
"Ruohan, mother knows you are too sad, but you can't just hold him like this. Junze must be buried in peace after all."
Chu Ruohan slowly raised her head, her eyes crimson. Her eyes were like a wounded and trapped animal, full of vigilance and anger. "Marquis' Mansion, why are there so many poisonous snakes?"
"Perhaps it was the sweltering summer heat and the heavy rain that caused it to crawl out and injure someone. Not only Hongmengyuan, but Aunt Bao was also bitten by a snake and her life is in danger now."
"How could it be such a coincidence? The venomous snakes specifically go to Hongmeng Courtyard and Zizhu Pavilion." Chu Ruohan's voice seemed to come from an ice cellar, icy cold to the bone. "It's obvious that someone did it on purpose."
There is no doubt about who did it.
Chu Ruohan didn't expect her counterattack to be so quick.
Nanny Wang is dead, and there is no one else around her who can be used. She clearly has no power to fight back.
She was careless...
"It was just an accident."
"It wasn't an accident."
Ying Qing came over with a bag in his hand and threw it on the ground.
When the bundle was opened, several dead snakes were found inside. Some of them were still alive and struggling and twisting on the ground, spitting out their tongues, which was horrifying.
Upon seeing this, the Marquis of Anyang and his wife's faces suddenly changed and they stepped back in horror.
"Get rid of these poisonous snakes quickly and don't hurt anyone else." Gu's mother shouted in a trembling voice with a hint of fear in her voice.
Ying Qing drew the long knife from his waist, and with a flick of his hand, he chopped a poisonous snake to death.
"These are lancehead vipers, which live in deep mountains and forests all year round. It's impossible for them to appear in the Marquis' Mansion, especially in such large numbers. Someone is trying to harm the Crown Prince."
Anger rose on the face of Marquis Anyang. "Investigate, investigate! I will tear the person behind this into pieces."
However, there is no clue at all.
It's summer now, and Gu Junze's body won't stay here for long.
It will stink.
The mourning hall was set up and the finest nanmu coffin was ready, so Chu Ruohan had to let him go.
Inside the mourning hall, everything was pure white.
Gu Chengyan stumbled in, looked at Gu Junze's tablet, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Brother, why did you leave so suddenly?" Gu Chengyan burst into tears, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, and it was unknown whether he was shaking because he was too sad to bear it.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my parents and treat my sister-in-law well..."
Everyone who came to pay their respects praised their deep brotherly love.
But only Chu Ruohan knew that all fake things were fake.
When Gu Cheng'an faked his death in his previous life, he pretended like this.
He must have been grinning from ear to ear in his heart, the position of Crown Prince was finally vacated...
The Chu family suddenly heard the bad news and rushed to offer condolences. They were still boating on the lake together yesterday and he was fine. How could he suddenly be gone?
In the blink of an eye, they were separated by life and death.
Chu Nanxin also came along. Isn’t Chu Ruohan arrogant and looks down on her as a half-sister?
Now that she is a widow, let’s see how arrogant she can be.
But Chu Nanxin didn't come just to laugh at her.
She walked straight to Gu Chengyan's side and bowed slightly, "Third Young Master, the dead cannot be resurrected. I hope you will accept my condolences."
Chu Nanxin's voice was soft, and there seemed to be a subtle concern in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.
When Chu's mother saw Chu Nanxin's behavior, she felt it was a little strange, but she couldn't care about her at the moment.
She looked at Chu Ruohan's bloodless, haggard face and red and swollen eyes, and her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
Her daughter has been pampered since childhood and should have had a smooth life, but now she has become a widow at such a young age. How is she going to live the rest of her life?
Mother Chu's eyes were red and tears kept falling. She felt that fate was too cruel to her daughter.
Gu Cheng'an looked at the grieving people in the room and his father with a hunched back, and suddenly a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.
If he had really faked his death that day, his parents would have been so sad.
Only then did he realize the pain his selfish love with Du Ruoling would bring to others.
Gu Cheng'an's gaze fell on Chu Ruohan. She was now his eldest brother's widow, and he had let her down in that matter...
Chu's mother wanted to spend more time with her daughter, but Chu Ruohan had her forcibly sent away.
She's fine, don't worry.
But Chu Nanxin stayed.
The excuse was that he was worried about Chu Ruohan and stayed to take care of her.
The wet nurse sent Chu's mother to the carriage and came back with a worried look on her face.
Seeing Chu Ruohan's haggard appearance and empty eyes, the nanny's heart felt like it was hit hard and hurt terribly.
She slowly walked over to Chu Ruohan and knelt down, her voice filled with tears and pleading, "Young Madam, please eat something. You haven't had a single drop of water since the prince passed away. How can your body bear it? I know you are suffering, but if anything happens to you, how will I live?"
Yuling was also wiping her tears and advising, "Young Madam, please eat something, even if it's just a mouthful of porridge. If you don't eat or drink like this and get sick, the spirit of the prince in heaven will be worried."
When Mother Gu heard the noise, she turned her eyes and glanced at Chu Ruohan lightly, with a hint of concern on the corner of her mouth.
"How can you not eat? Go and get some food for the young lady."
Chu Ruohan looked at the food brought by the maid. Would Mother Gu be so kind as to care about her health?
Is it to gain a good reputation for being a caring daughter-in-law?
Chu Ruohan shook her head secretly, it seemed that a good show was waiting for her.
I just don't know who will be the actor and who will be the spectator in this play...
