Chapter 147 The Wicked Stepmother and the Poor Child (40)
After witnessing a scene of maternal love and filial piety, Zhou Jingxuan was excited and couldn't wait to pull Gu Hongjian back to Shuyuxuan.
She was very excited. She had been suppressed by the old lady for too long, and suddenly being praised to the heavens made her feel like she was floating. The old lady had never been so kind to her before!
Inside the Shuyu Pavilion, the red candles cast a warm glow. Zhou Jingxuan, slightly intoxicated and joyful, coaxed him tenderly, her eyes brimming with charm.
"Gu Lang, you've been so busy these days, it's been a long time since you've stayed here. Why don't you stay tonight?"
Gu Hongjian was very pleased with his promotion, but then he thought that this was all thanks to the Zhou family. If he hadn't married Zhou Jingxuan, the Zhou family certainly wouldn't have helped him.
Zhou Jingxuan is a member of the Zhou family. Even if you don't usually like her that much, you can't treat her badly at this critical juncture. Even if it's just for show, you have to put on an act.
In addition, he had not been close to a woman for a long time, and seeing Zhou Jingxuan's charming demeanor, he couldn't help but be tempted, so he readily agreed.
Zhou Jingxuan was secretly delighted, feeling that she had made the right bet and that she hadn't sided with the wrong person this time.
She deliberately hooked her arm around him, leaning against him; their passion was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, ready to ignite at any moment.
However, just as their feelings were running high and they were about to get down to business, Gu Hongjian found himself in an awkward situation once again, finding it difficult to speak.
He still couldn't do it.
Even after all this time, he still can't do it when faced with this kind of situation; that familiar feeling has returned.
This time, Zhou Jingxuan could no longer comfort herself with the inconveniences of pregnancy. She turned around in astonishment, making no attempt to hide the shock and disappointment in her eyes.
"Gu Lang, what exactly is going on?"
Why, why does it always happen like this? Have I done something wrong that you find repulsive?
Could it be that Gu Hongjian has lost interest in her? Is she really going to live a life of widowhood? No, she's still young!
Gu Hongjian felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. All his previous interest vanished instantly, leaving him with only immense shame and fear, making him unable to lift his head.
He dared not reveal that he had consulted numerous doctors who had all diagnosed him with impotence. Under Zhou Jingxuan's tearful gaze, a nameless rage rose within him.
How will he ever be able to hold his head high in front of Zhou Jingxuan again?
Feelings of inferiority, or excessive feelings of inferiority and embarrassment, can distort a person's character.
He abruptly pressed Zhou Jingxuan down onto the couch, his movements rough, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes, but his tone was firm and brooking no refusal.
"What nonsense! How could I possibly despise you? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
After saying that, he took out a cold jade dildo from somewhere and roughly shoved it into Zhou Jingxuan's hand, his voice laced with mockery.
However, upon closer inspection, one can detect a hint of harshness and cruelty in the voice.
"Use it, do it yourself."
"I'll make sure you're happy, even if I'm watching."
In the candlelight, Gu Hongjian's face twisted for a moment. As he looked at Zhou Jingxuan's shocked and humiliated expression, a strange sense of vengeful pleasure rose from the depths of his heart.
He failed to regain his former glory, but through humiliating his opponent, he regained his former sense of control.
Gu Hongjian hadn't realized that even though his career had progressed smoothly and he had been promoted, his physical disability hadn't been repaired; instead, the disability in his heart was growing larger and larger.
Zhou Jingxuan was just now full of anticipation, even excitement.
But now, the jade bracelet on her wrist is cold, the things in her hands are cold, and her heart has turned cold as well. Is this still her ideal husband?
Humiliation, disgrace, and embarrassment left her unable to respond.
Zhou Jingxuan's silence angered Gu Hongjian.
Her silence was seen as resistance by Gu Hongjian, and she felt humiliated. But the perverted Gu Hongjian could only derive pleasure from humiliating her.
How could Zhou Jingxuan possibly resist Gu Hongjian? He was too forceful, especially after seeing the fear in Zhou Jingxuan's eyes, which made him even more impatient.
The red candles in Shuyuxuan had not yet burned out, but the ambiguous atmosphere had long since dissipated, leaving behind more fear and repression.
The suppressed breathing and struggle were so clear and distinct in the darkness that a shrill scream soon came from Shuyuxuan.
"ah--!"
Immediately following was Gu Hongjian's panicked shouts, which rang out clearly in the darkness.
"Help! Help! Quickly fetch a doctor!"
It was late at night, and the masters of the Gu family had all gone to bed early, leaving only the servants on night watch.
Everyone was startled awake by the sudden commotion, and the lanterns in the mansion were lit one after another. Old Madam Gu was old and needed little sleep, so she couldn't sleep anyway. The shout made her heart ache.
She recognized the voice as coming from her son and quickly had her maid help her to get there. She was worried that something might have happened to her precious son, otherwise it would be all over. Her face was so gloomy that it could drip water the whole way.
Shen Ci was also woken up. She first had someone soothe the two children so they could continue sleeping. Then she pretended to be seriously ill and was helped over by Dan Gui. She walked over with unsteady steps to show her concern.
As the head of the household, how could I not go and see?
There was nothing I could do. I didn't know what had happened, but I really wanted to join in the fun. What could have happened to make Aunt Zhou scream like that, and why was Gu Hongjian shouting so loudly?
Could it be that something went wrong during their intimate moments?
When everyone finally arrived, a strong smell of blood hit them.
The bed was in disarray. Zhou Jingxuan was curled up, her face ashen. The remaining bedding was stained with dark red blood, which was spreading outwards instead of stopping.
Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were closed, her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was barely breathing, looking as if she had fainted.
Gu Hongjian stood by the bed, his clothes disheveled, his face filled with fear and panic, and there was even blood on his hands.
"What kind of sins have we committed!"
What happened?! How could this happen out of nowhere?!
Upon seeing this scene, the old lady felt dizzy and immediately questioned him.
Gu Hongjian was so frightened that he dared not tell the truth and could only stammer and make excuses.
"Mother, your son is promoted today and is so happy that he drank a few more cups. When he was playing with Jingxuan, he didn't know his limits for a moment."
"I was being a little silly..."
His voice trailed off, until he couldn't even listen to himself anymore; it was embarrassing.
"Nonsense?!"
She's almost six months pregnant! Is this the time to be messing around?! You little rascal!
The old lady trembled with anger, pointing at Zhou Jingxuan lying in a pool of blood on the bed. Her gaze swept across the entire room, where the jade dildo that had caused the trouble had long been hidden by Gu Hongjian.
