Chapter 84 Lin Xingyao Goes Crazy
Recently, a rumor has spread throughout the capital, and people are quietly talking about it on the streets and alleys.
"Hey, have you heard about that incident?" A man at the tea stall approached his classmate mysteriously, his eyes rolling around.
"What's the matter? You look so mysterious."
Upon hearing this, the man's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He waved his hands in the air and said in a louder voice, "It's about the little princess of Prince Yong's Mansion. Rumors are spreading that the child in her belly is not the second son of the Gu family!"
"Ah? No way, you can't just say that!"
"I don't want to believe it either, but that's what everyone says. Rumor has it that she had an affair with someone else before marrying into the Anyang Marquis's mansion, and only hurriedly married in after she became pregnant."
"This is too outrageous. How can the Anyang Marquisate tolerate such a huge cuckold..."
When Lin Xingyao heard these rumors in the mansion, her face turned pale instantly, her hands clenched into fists, and she trembled with anger.
"How can this be possible!"
The anger in her heart was like a raging fire, almost devouring her.
She stood up suddenly, pushed open the door, and walked straight towards Sui Jinxuan. The maids behind her followed her hurriedly, but did not dare to stop her.
In the warm room, Du Ruoling lay on the bed on her side, with a hint of impatience and boredom in her eyes.
She turned her head away, ignoring the bowl of medicine handed to her by Gu Cheng'an, her delicate face full of stubbornness.
Gu Cheng'an frowned slightly, his eyes full of pity and helplessness, and he advised softly: "Ling'er, drink the medicine. You have to take good care of yourself during the confinement period." As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, wanting to push the medicine bowl towards the woman again.
Du Ruoling suddenly turned her head to the other side, pursed her lips, clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, said nothing, and ignored Gu Chengan's words.
He killed their child. Can he make everything go away by pleasing her now?
Gu Cheng'an sighed lightly and placed the medicine bowl on the table beside him.
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside, and then the door was slammed open with a loud bang.
Lin Xingyao rushed in with an angry face, her chest heaving violently, her eyes fixed on the two people in the room, the anger in her eyes seemed to burn everything to ashes.
Gu Cheng'an turned around in astonishment, and when he saw Lin Xingyao's appearance, he frowned in annoyance.
Lin Xingyao stared at Gu Cheng'an intently and demanded loudly, "You said you would keep this to yourself, so why is it now known to everyone in the capital?"
Gu Cheng'an has been with Du Ruoling all the time these past two days. How could he know what was going on?
I just felt that Lin Xingyao was going crazy and deliberately looking for trouble.
Gu Chengan replied impatiently: "What are you making a fuss about?"
Lin Xingyao's chest heaved with rage when she heard this. She pointed at Gu Cheng'an, her fingers trembling slightly. "Making a fuss? It's all going crazy out there now. Everyone's guessing whose baby I'm carrying."
Gu Chengan was also confused and hurriedly explained: "I have never mentioned this to anyone."
"Humph! How dare you say it wasn't you? Who else in this mansion knows this secret?"
Du Ruoling was lying on the bed. When she heard Lin Xingyao's words, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
secret?
She finally understood that the child in Lin Xingyao's belly was not Gu Cheng'an's?
Then Gu Chengan really had never touched her.
He really only had this one woman!
But he pretended to look weak and pitiful and coughed lightly a few times.
When Gu Cheng'an heard Du Ruoling's cough, his eyes were full of worry. He quickly turned around and sat down beside the bed, gently patting Du Ruoling's back.
"Ling'er, take a rest first..."
When Lin Xingyao saw how Gu Cheng'an was taking care of Du Ruoling, her anger grew even stronger. She rushed forward and grabbed Gu Cheng'an by the collar.
"Gu Cheng'an, you must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will never let you go!"
Gu Chengan shook off Lin Xingyao's hand with all his might, his face showing displeasure. "I've already said this, I haven't said a single word to anyone. You should think carefully about who you've offended!"
Besides herself and Wei Qiming, the only other person who knew about this was Gu Chengan.
Wei Qiming is now being held in the Duke of Wei's mansion to recuperate. He has no chance to speak, nor is he stupid enough to spread the news.
She stared at Gu Cheng'an intently, as if her eyes could see through him. Perhaps he wanted to divorce her for Du Ruoling so that Du Ruoling could take his place.
No man wants to be cuckolded for his whole life.
Thinking back to when Gu Cheng'an asked her to save people, he promised that the child in her belly would always be his eldest son.
Now they are crossing the river and destroying the bridge...
Lin Xingyao couldn't listen to Gu Chengan's explanation at all. She was already blinded by anger.
Doesn’t he care about that woman Du Ruoling?
"Okay, since you treat me like this, don't blame me for being rude." Lin Xingyao gritted her teeth and said viciously.
Gu Chengan seemed to have guessed what Lin Xingyao was thinking. He quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Lin Xingyao, and stretched out his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk slowly."
Lin Xingyao violently shook off Gu Cheng'an's hand, "Get out of the way! Since you dare to spread my affairs to the outside world, I will make your beloved Du Ruoling pay."
Seeing that she was about to rush to Du Ruoling's bed, Gu Chengan quickly stopped her, grabbed her arms tightly with both hands, and raised his voice a few degrees, with some anxiety and warning.
"You can't do this! This matter has nothing to do with Ling'er, don't take your anger out on her."
"It has nothing to do with it?" Lin Xingyao seemed to have heard some huge joke. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Gu Cheng'an's restraints, her face full of anger and grievance.
"I'm being pointed at and humiliated now, all because of you. If I don't have a good life, then neither will she! How did you beg me in the beginning? And now you're treating me like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Gu Cheng'an frowned, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He was worried that Lin Xingyao would really do something extreme to Du Ruoling.
This sudden situation gave him a headache.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer: "Calm down, let's work together to find out who is behind these rumors and find a solution."
"I know you're very angry now, but you have to believe me, I really didn't tell anyone."
Lin Xingyao struggled for a long time, but gradually lost her strength. Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness: "What should I do? How can I gain a foothold in the capital in the future..."
Gu Chengan comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. My promise will never change. If I tell you a lie, I will be struck by lightning..."
