Chapter 43 The child is not his!
This also means that Shen Muqian still has feelings for her.
If you have love, then things will be much easier.
Gu Jingchun continued:
"Mu Qian, I thought I would never see you again in this life. Where have you been all these years?"
"I've been searching for you so hard!"
Seeing that Gu Jingchun was about to cry again, Shen Muqian quickly reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then he said, "I went to the army to fight, and the first thing I did when I came back was to look for you, but..."
Shen Hechuan paused as he spoke, as if recalling the sorrow of that day.
"But I learned that you were killed by bandits, and even your inn was burned to ashes."
"I was..."
Gu Jingchun sobbed, his mind racing as to how to explain.
At the beginning, after Chen Hechuan left, she immediately packed up all her things, let the bandits on the mountain put on a show, and then she personally set fire to the inn.
Because Liu Qingqing was already dead at that time.
What awaits her is a new life in the future.
As for that group of bandits, they were also her people.
And now, that group of "bandits" also followed her to Tiandu under an assumed name.
However, these were completely different words from Gu Jingchun's mouth.
"At that time, I thought you had abandoned me. I cried every day, and the inn's reputation and business were getting worse day by day, so I thought about selling the inn.
But he didn't expect to be targeted by the thief.
On the night when the thieves robbed and set fire, I sneaked out.
But because he ran too fast, he fell off a cliff. Thanks to a hunter who rescued him, he barely managed to save his life.
When Gu Jingchun said this, he looked at Chen Hechuan carefully again, and then continued in a low voice:
“After that, I asked the hunters to look for you.
But he hasn't heard from you for three whole months.
After that, I became disheartened and married the hunter."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan's expression changed drastically and his face turned cold.
“Nonsense!”
"Marriage is such a serious matter, how can you marry someone so easily?
I clearly told you to wait for me, why couldn't you wait for me?"
"How do you want me to wait for you?"
Gu Jingchun raised his voice and tears instantly rolled down his cheeks.
"How can I, a penniless and seriously injured little woman, wait for you when I don't know where you are and am not sure whether you will marry me?"
"Do you know, if I hadn't married that hunter at that time, how could he be willing to spend so much money to treat my illness?"
Gu Jingchun was crying and sobbing, and he was both sad and angry, which made people feel distressed.
After hearing this, Shen Hechuan's heart began to sink.
"That child...how old is he?"
Gu Jingchun spoke slowly.
"Four years old."
There was an accident when Gu Jinxi was born. He was weak and sickly when he was young, so he was shorter than ordinary children. It would not arouse suspicion if he said he was four years old.
When Shen Hechuan heard this, his heart sank completely.
Just before this, he still fantasized that Gu Jinxi would be his own child.
But now...
That's all.
He gritted his teeth. Even though he hated Gu Jingchun to death, he could only endure it when he saw Gu Jingchun's expression.
Even if it wasn't his child, he still acknowledged it.
Who made that child so lovable?
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun and felt distressed.
He hugged her and comforted her softly.
"It's all my fault. You've suffered."
"From today on, I won't let you suffer any pain. With me by your side, I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun looked up suddenly.
"But, I am now Luo Ziqian's fiancée. This is a marriage granted by His Majesty."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan's face darkened again.
"So what?"
"Luo Ziqian...he's just a homosexual, he won't touch you for now.
During this time, just be obedient and wait for me, and I will definitely find a way to cancel your engagement."
Gu Jingchun sneered in his heart when he heard this.
Be obedient?
How can she be obedient?
And she has never been a good person!
Sitting back and waiting for death had never been her style.
“What are you going to do?
"This is a marriage granted by His Majesty."
Gu Jingchun took the opportunity to ask about his identity.
"Mu Qian, why are you in Tiandu?
What is your true identity?"
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan paused for a moment before saying, "I am the crown prince of Dacheng, Shen Hechuan."
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun suddenly opened his eyes wide.
really!
Just as she guessed.
He is indeed the prince.
The Crown Prince of Dacheng was both talented and virtuous, wise and intelligent, and was deeply loved by his ministers and the people.
But he was not favored by Emperor Rongcheng.
It was no secret in Tiandu that Emperor Rongcheng favored Prince Rui, the son of the imperial concubine, and wanted to depose the crown prince and replace him.
This also means that there will be a battle between the Crown Prince and Prince Rui.
Gu Jingchun thought about his previous life-threatening experience in Da Qi, and he would never allow himself and his son to fall into such danger.
The reason why she returned to Tiandu was to use this little bit of power to ensure the safety of herself and her son.
Therefore, after Gu Jingchun had this guess, he deliberately lied that he had married a hunter, and that Gu Jinxi must be the hunter's child.
This also eliminated the possibility of Shen Hechuan bringing them to the palace.
However, she still underestimated the depth of Shen Hechuan's love for her.
Gu Jingchun shook his head and sighed, then quickly refused.
"It's too late. It's all too late."
"Mu Qian, I am already very satisfied to see you again in this life."
"But now that the matter is settled, I will never let you fall into danger because of me."
"Let's just leave it at that."
"Anyway, for a woman like me who is as floating as duckweed, life is the same wherever I live."
But Shen Hechuan immediately refused.
"No, absolutely not!"
"I will never let you marry anyone else."
Gu Jingchun explained again.
"Mu Qian, don't you understand?"
“I’m already remarried and now have a child.
With this status, there is absolutely no chance for me to marry you again."
"And even if I am like this now, I will never be a concubine, just like before."
"Besides, the Luo family elders treat me very well and don't mind Xier's existence. If I marry them, I'm sure my life will be fine."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he saw Shen Hechuan suddenly sneer.
He reached out and lifted Gu Jingchun's chin.
"Qingqing, you've laid so much groundwork, I guess this is what you want to say!"
Gu Jingchun was surprised for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to avoid his hand, and after a long while he uttered a word.
"right."
"The Luo family is the in-laws I carefully selected for myself, and I have been planning for this for a long time.
At this point, it's already a done deal. Mu Qian, we... no longer have a chance."
Shen Hechuan was the crown prince, and he must have guessed her plan the moment he learned of her identity.
Therefore, we must not hide it at this time.
"Mu Qian, I have no choice."
