Chapter 74 Du Ruoling wants to run away?
Back in the yard, Du Ruoling smashed everything that could be smashed in the house. After venting her anger, she sat powerlessly on the bed, her eyes empty and dull.
She recalled every moment she had spent with Gu Chengan, and those sweet memories had now become sharp blades that pierced her heart.
This is what Gu Chengan said about loving her.
He already has a wife and will soon have a child. All his promises about being together for life and only loving her were lies to her.
Zhixia, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in quietly and looked at the mess on the floor and the distraught Du Ruoling.
She was so unlucky that she was assigned to serve her.
This master's mood is unpredictable. When he is happy, he treats his servants as his own sisters, but once he goes crazy, he will not care about anything.
She had offended the princess time and again. If it weren't for the Second Young Master protecting and pampering her, she would have died several times.
She carefully moved to Du Ruoling's side, "Miss, don't worry anymore. Didn't the Second Young Master say he would come back early to accompany you?"
But in his heart, he was thinking, I hope this ancestor will not cause any more trouble, as he still wants to live a peaceful life in this mansion.
Du Ruoling seemed not to hear and was immersed in her own pain.
Zhixia frowned slightly upon seeing this, but didn't dare show any impatience. She could only continue to persuade: "Girl, please be at ease. There are still many days ahead. Men need to be coaxed. If you keep making such a fuss, won't you just push him away?"
"Wait until the Second Young Master comes back, then you can act like a spoiled child and coax him."
This sentence seemed to have angered Du Ruoling. She stood up quickly, glared at Zhixia with red eyes, and roared, "Coax him? Why should I coax him? It's obviously him who betrayed me!"
Zhixia was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, "Miss, calm down, Miss, calm down, it was my fault for saying something wrong, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry."
She lowered her head, her voice filled with tears, and she felt extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have said so much. This young lady's temper was becoming more and more unpredictable.
Du Ruoling's chest heaved violently, her face filled with grief, anger and unwillingness.
What on earth do I mean in Gu Cheng'an's heart?
Is it possible that such a long period of companionship and deep affection would be so despised?
It's just a dog. You will develop feelings for it after a long time.
As expected, whether in modern times or ancient times, there are scumbags everywhere, and novels are all lies.
She would never hang on to this scumbag. As a time-traveling woman, she has plenty of ways to go. How could she not be able to gain a foothold in this ancient time?
These people in the Marquis' Mansion used the original owner's status as a maid to belittle her.
Humph, when she goes out and makes money, she will make them unable to reach her and regret it for the rest of their lives.
She must make Gu Chengan regret it and beg her crying...
Du Ruoling drove Zhixia out, locked the door, packed a few clothes, valuables in the house, and the silver that Gu Chengan had given her before into a bag.
She wants to escape...
The vermilion palace gate stands tall and majestic, and the stone lions beside the gate are baring their fangs and claws, as if guarding the majesty of the deep palace.
The carriage of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion slowly stopped, and the young eunuch waiting on the side said, "Hurry up and greet the Marquis, the Crown Prince, and the Princess."
Lord Anyang glanced at the young eunuch indifferently and nodded slightly.
The young eunuch bent even lower, with his hands hanging respectfully.
It was not until Ying Qing carried Gu Junze down and placed him in a wheelchair that the little eunuch came forward again.
"Sir, the Queen Mother has specially ordered this servant to wait for you here. She hasn't seen you for a long time and is very worried about you. She wants you to go directly to her palace."
The young eunuch's voice was shrill, but he tried to make his tone sound steady and respectful. He would glance at Gu Junze from time to time with a flattering smile on his face.
Gu Junze sat in a wheelchair, his fingers lightly resting on the armrest, "I understand." He responded lightly.
The Marquis of Anyang glanced at him and whispered, "In that case, you should go to the Queen Mother first. Don't be disrespectful."
Gu Junze nodded slightly, "Don't worry, father, I understand."
According to palace rules, when the masters entered the palace for banquets, there would be palace maids and eunuchs to serve them carefully, and the accompanying servants were not allowed to follow them into the palace.
The servants of the Marquis' Mansion, including Yingqing, all stayed outside the palace gate.
Chu Ruohan pushed Gu Junze and followed the eunuch towards the empress dowager's palace.
Her hands unconsciously gripped the wheelchair armrests. This was her second time entering the palace, but she still felt nervous and depressed.
The towering palace walls around seem to swallow people up.
The wheelchair's forward trajectory was a little unstable, and it swayed slightly from time to time, just like her ups and downs in her mood at the moment.
Gu Junze seemed to sense her emotions, turned his head slightly, and whispered, "Don't panic, I'm here."
His voice was calm and firm, like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling some of the haze in Chu Ruohan's heart.
Chu Ruohan looked down at him and saw that he had a calm expression and a reassuring power in his eyes.
"Yeah." Chu Ruohan responded softly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
She adjusted her breathing slightly, relaxed the strength in her hands, and her steps gradually became steady.
Soon, they arrived outside the Queen Mother's palace.
The palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. The palace lanterns on both sides of the palace gate sway and emit soft light.
Chu Ruohan's heart was lifted again. Gu Junze gently squeezed her hand and gave her an encouraging look. Then the two of them followed the eunuch into the palace...
"Greetings to the Queen Mother. Best wishes to you." Gu Junze sat in a wheelchair, clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed slightly. Chu Ruohan knelt beside him and saluted, her posture respectful and dignified.
The Queen Mother stood up and hurried to Gu Junze, taking his hand and looking at him carefully.
Her gaze lingered on him for a long time, the pain in her eyes becoming more and more obvious, "Are you feeling better now?
Gu Junze bowed and replied, "Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern. I am fine now."
"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you. If that vicious woman hadn't gone mad, she would have been cut into pieces."
The Queen Mother's voice was full of concern. She gently patted the back of Gu Junze's hand, as if comforting a wounded child.
Gu Junze knew that the Queen Mother really cared about him. He raised his head slightly, and his cold eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Thanks to Han'er for taking good care of me."
The Queen Mother then remembered Chu Ruohan who was still squatting beside her and shifted her gaze away from Gu Junze.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer scrutinizing and defensive as before, but rather the kindness and recognition of an elder towards a younger person.
"Good child, get up quickly and don't get tired." The Queen Mother said, gently pulling Chu Ruohan up, and at the same time stretched out her other hand and patted the back of her hand affectionately.
"I've seen that you take good care of Junze. He's truly a caring child. It's a blessing for him to have you by his side."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words. It is my honor to serve the Crown Prince." Chu Ruohan lowered her eyes slightly, her attitude still respectful.
But the Queen Mother suddenly said, "You have been married for some time, it's time to have a child."
Chu Ruohan could only pretend to be embarrassed and lower her head. She couldn't say that Gu Junze was not good enough!
She secretly looked up at Gu Junze, but he looked calm...
