"Don't worry, I won't force you. I know you don't want to, but I want to tell you that you don't need to worry. I won't force you to do anything, and you don't need to worry about your safety. I just need you to play along with me. As long as you cooperate with me, you will be safe and sound. If you don't cooperate, then there's nothing I can do. So I can only have my father punish you. After all, in our Gu family, you can only survive if you don't cooperate. My father will also punish you severely. But I can assure you that if you cooperate with me, you will not be in any danger. You will be reunited with your parents, and you can live like before. However, if you dare to disobey my orders, your fate will be a hundred times worse than Gu Sang's." Situ Junyi said.
Hearing Situ Junyi's words, Gu Sang hesitated. She knew that what Situ Junyi said was the truth, because Situ Junyi would not stoop to lying to her.
Seeing Gu Sang's hesitation, Situ Junyi continued to persuade her, saying, "I know you like Li Rong very much, but I hope you can think it through. The hatred between the Gu family and the Situ family is irreconcilable. If you don't do as I say, your family will be wiped out, and your parents will be implicated as well. Is this what you want to see?"
Situ Junyi's words made Gu Sang's eyes light up. She hadn't expected that she could actually help Li Rong eliminate the Situ family's enemies. Although she was forced to marry Li Rong, she was not an ungrateful person. She and Li Rong had no relationship to begin with, and Li Rong owed her nothing. Helping Li Rong eliminate the Situ family was a way of avenging herself, and she could be considered to have rid the world of a scourge.
"Are you serious?" Gu Sang looked up at Situ Junyi and asked earnestly.
Looking at Gu Sang's serious expression, Situ Junyi smiled slightly and said, "Why would I lie to you about something like this? Besides, don't think I'm the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. You can trust me because I wouldn't joke around with my own life. If I really wanted to get back at you, you wouldn't be alive now!"
"Are you serious? You can really help me get rid of the Situ family's enemies?" Gu Sang was a little excited. She didn't expect to find her family so easily. Although she was doing this for Li Rong, not for her own family, she was still very grateful to Li Rong. After all, if it weren't for Li Rong, she might have lost her family. She couldn't deny that she was a very grateful person.
"Of course. If I'm lying to you, may Situ Junyi suffer a terrible death." Situ Junyi raised his right hand, making a vow-like gesture.
Gu Sang looked at Situ Junyi and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with you. I will definitely do as you ask. However, you must also keep your promise. I am only helping you deal with the Gu family."
"Okay." Situ Junyi nodded with a smile.
"I'll go prepare now. I'll visit your house tonight, so don't forget what you promised me then," Gu Sang said with a smile.
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she turned and walked into the house. Situ Junyi looked at Gu Sang's graceful back and felt a strong desire to conquer her rise in his heart. He knew that if he could get this woman, he would be willing to die for her.
Gu Sang returned to the house and changed her clothes. She wanted to change all the clothes in the Gu family home because she had been wearing the same clothes in the Gu residence and had no clean clothes to change into. If she continued to wear Li Rong's clothes, she would eventually feel suffocated.
After changing her clothes, Gu Sang walked to the door and happened to meet Madam Gu, who was returning with dishes. Madam Gu looked at Gu Sang and asked, "Gu Sang, why are you back so early today? Don't you need to rest?"
"No need, Mother, I'm not that delicate. I won't trouble you. I'll be going now. Take care." Gu Sang smiled at Madam Gu and said.
Madam Gu nodded without saying anything more.
After Madam Gu left, Gu Sang headed towards the kitchen. Looking at the sumptuous dishes, she took a deep breath before entering the kitchen, intending to finish all the food on the table.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Mansion, Li Rong was restless in his study. He paced back and forth, extremely agitated, as if a thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind. He truly didn't want to be with Gu Sang because he always felt Gu Sang was deceiving him. Li Rong wasn't unaware of Gu Sang's feelings for him, but he simply couldn't accept them. If he accepted Gu Sang, wouldn't that mean divorcing Madam Gu? This wouldn't just be an insult to Gu Sang and the Gu family, but it would also damage his relationship with Madam Gu. Madam Gu's love for him was genuine. If he divorced her, there might never be a future between them. Madam Gu would definitely hate him, and their relationship would be completely severed. For Li Rong, the loss would be too great; he couldn't afford to take the risk.
Li Rong became increasingly agitated and confused, unsure of what to do. No matter how much he thought about it or how much he tormented himself, he still didn't know how to make a decision. He didn't even know if Gu Sang had reached an agreement with Situ Junyi or if they had already started taking action.
"Young Master Gu, why are you standing here? Why don't you sit down and eat?" The butler asked, seeing Li Rong standing in the study in a daze.
"Nothing's wrong, I just suddenly remembered some things and got lost in thought," Li Rong said.
"Oh, Young Master Gu, I'll get you a bowl of soup. I'll tell you about this after you finish the soup," the butler said to Li Rong, then turned and left.
The butler left the study, and Li Rong sat in a chair, looking at the food on the table. He had no appetite at all, but he couldn't throw it away or throw it away. After all, it was made by Madam Gu, and he dared not throw away what Madam Gu had worked so hard to make.
The butler served Li Rong a bowl of hot chicken soup and handed it to him, saying gently, "Young Master Gu, you should drink some soup to nourish your body. You've lost a lot of weight recently, and you're almost not as plump as you used to be. If this continues, it will affect your figure. Besides, you're still young. Don't let those empty titles interfere with your career and life. That's not a wise move."
