Chapter 101 You Are the Only One I Have
Gu Huaian lived very far. He cared about Gu Qiang a lot and already got on the swiftest horse.
Luckily Jin Ye was fast enough and now he should be halfway here.
After Shen Qianshan finished the words, Gu Qiang already got up and turned her head. It seemed that she still had a headache, but she already put on her coat. Having forced a smile on her pale face, she said to Shen Qianshan, “I still gotta do what I have to do. You are a lord?”
Shen Qianshan tried to stop her, but Gu Qiang already walked out.
The white lights in the front yard were already lit up. From a distance, they looked like flowers on the ground, looking deadly white. The maids walking around were also in white.
The same scene seemed to have appeared in her memory, but she couldn’t remember when. She felt pain in her head and then squatted down on the ground. Someone put a coat on her from behind. The fresh scent smelled very familiar as if she used to smell it every day.
She suddenly turned around, only to find a handsome man standing behind her. Under the moonlight, she felt his face very familiar, so familiar that she felt she could cry the moment she saw his face. She didn’t know why but was sure that she must go way back with this man.
As Shen Zhongbai stood up, he saw the tears on Gu Qiang’s face at once. Though there was no expression on her face, he could still feel her grief.
“Qiang… Lady Qiang, are you all right? I heard that you were attacked. Are you feeling better now? Also…” Before Shen Zhongbai could finish his words, his arm was held by someone. A woman popped out from his behind and greeted Gu Qiang with a grinning face.
“You must be Infanta Luoping. Hello, my name is…” The woman was very gorgeous. As she stood beside the man, she looked as pretty as a painting. Gu Qiang tilted her head.
The woman didn’t speak out her name and seemed to want Shen Zhongbai to introduce her. Actually, she just wanted to get Shen Zhongbai’s recognition. To be more precise, she wanted her position to be recognized.
They had just heard that Old Lady Gu had passed away. As the old lady’s grandson-in-law, Shen Zhongbai didn’t feel anything. Perhaps it was because he had known this day would finally come.
It didn’t occur to Shen Qiangwei that Shen Zhongbai would bring her here. She also knew what this meant. It meant that Shen Zhongbai was declaring to everyone that he married a prostitute and even would make her a madam. Though it was a lot to ask, it was actually what Shen Qiangwei wanted.
“She’s my partner, or I can say she and your sister share a man.” Shen Zhongbai said.
Gu Qiang tilted her head. ‘This woman shares a man with my sister? What the hell is that kind of relationship? Does that mean this man is my brother-in-law? But why do I want to cry when seeing my brother-in-law? Did my sister and I fight for this man?’
The funny thing was that Gu Qiang didn’t know where the voice inside of her was from. The voice was very cold, which made her shudder.
That was impossible. She didn’t want to do such a thing because she was too proud to do it.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and said to Shen Qiangwei, “Oh, then are you a concubine? Or my sister is a concubine? Of course, it doesn’t matter. What are you doing here?”
It was the funeral of her sister’s grandma. Did the woman want to take some advantage of the funeral? Gu Qiang wasn’t jealous of the woman and only felt aggrieved.
After saying that, she passed them nonchalantly but her arm was held by Shen Zhongbai. The man paused a bit, seeming to be surprised by his own move. He had said that he wouldn’t have a feeling for Gu Qiang anymore, but now he still couldn’t control himself. He had met so many beautiful women, but was captivated by Gu Qiang only. It didn’t feel good to have a soft spot.
“I heard that you lost your memory?” Shen Zhongbai hesitated for a while and still spoke out his question.
Before Gu Qiang could answer, Shen Qiangwei suddenly asked curiously, “What? Infanta Luoping lost her memory? How did that happen? That just made the bad situation worse!”
Shen Zhongbai suddenly turned around to glare at Shen Qiangwei. The latter got terrified and stood back right away, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Qiang didn’t say anything. Having dumped Shen Zhongbai’s arm, she went to the front hall.
The decoration in the hall was also white. In the middle of the mourning hall was a luxurious silkwood coffin. People were kneeling on either side. A woman in white was sobbing.
It looked pretty weird.
When Gu Qiang walked over, Gu Zhihua whose eyes were swollen with tears turned her head to look at her mother. Having received the signal, Gu Zhihua rushed to Gu Qiang and helped the latter up. After that, she asked sobbingly, “Sister, how are you doing? I heard that you were injured. Are you all right now?”
Gu Qiang turned around. Under the white light, her face seemed very pale. She had cried for so long that now she looked like the delicate flower which could wither at any time.
‘The woman called me sister. The sister whom they have talked about?’ Gu Qiang thought.
“I am fine.” Gu Qiang answered with a cold voice, seeming to have no intention to say anything to Gu Zhihua. Gu Zhihua got sweats on her back right away. Never did she realize that there would be so many things for her to do during these days. If Old Lady Gu hadn’t passed away all of a sudden, she could have stayed in the Prince’s Mansion for a few more days. However, there wasn’t any place for her to stay in the Prince’s Mansion. She hadn’t greeted that woman ever since the latter had come. Gu Zhihua wanted to know what kind of woman she was. After all, Shen Zhongbai was willing to give up Gu Zhihua, the Gu family and his reputation for her, a prostitute.
Ye was a little surprised. The drug she had put Gu Qiang on had cost her a lot of money. It was very effective. However, Gu Qiang’s attitude toward Gu Zhihua made her think that Gu Qiang didn’t forget anything.
‘What is happening here? If Gu Qiang still has her memory, everything will be over.’
‘Maybe I should have killed her.’ Ye thought that. She had the gut to do that, but she didn’t want to risk her own life.
If she killed Gu Qiang, she would definitely get caught. This was Prime Minister Gu’s mansion. Even if Shen Qianshan and Shen Zhongbai were not here, there must be some spies in Prime Minister Gu’s mansion. Even the woman whose name was Liang seemed quite extraordinary to Ye.
“Qiang, I’m glad you are fine. Now that your grandma has passed away, you have to stay safe. If anything happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to take it.” Ye also stood up and tied up her hair, looking very kind.
Mother? Gu Qiang sized Ye up, finding the woman looking so much like Gu Zhihua. Gu Qiang had woken up all of a sudden and hadn’t had time to look at her own face. However, the two women in front of her just annoyed her for no reason. She knew that they were just pretending.
As the three of them were standing there, they saw Shen Zhongbai walking over from the back yard with Shen Qiangwei. Gu Zhihua glanced at Shen Qiangwei’s face. Then she bit her lips with her tears rushing down.
No matter how stupid she was, she still knew why Shen Zhongbai had chosen to be with that woman. The moment that woman showed up, Gu Zhihua found that she looked just like Gu Qiang.
Gu Zhihua had thought that she had used up her intelligence in order to become Third Prince’s concubine, and she just kept weeping every day since then.
Also, she had gradually found why Shen Zhongbai didn’t love her. It was very likely that he had fallen in love with Gu Qiang.
That nearly drove her crazy. She didn’t know what he saw in Gu Qiang.
It couldn’t be because of Gu Qiang’s look. Although Gu Zhihua was not incredibly beautiful like Gu Qiang, she was still a pretty girl.
After all, they had the same father, so they were somewhat alike in appearance. She just couldn’t understand why Shen Zhongbai couldn’t love her, since he already fell for Gu Qiang.
Gu Zhihua never wanted a lot. There were so many great things in this world. She didn’t want to be the princess or the legal daughter of the Prime Minister. She didn’t want any jewelries. She just wanted Shen Zhongbai.
Having wiped her tears, she hid behind Ye.
Now Ye seemed to be unable to hold it anymore. She walked to Shen Zhongbai with a sullen face.
Having looked Shen Qiangwei up and down, she crossed her arms and said coldly, “Such a good-looking girl. She must be the most popular girl in the whorehouse. Third Prince, you do have a great taste.”
As a concubine, Ye had no right to say that. If Gu Qiang’s mother hadn’t died early, she would never have had a chance to speak here.
With the look on Shen Zhongbai’s face turning cold immediately, he glanced at Gu Zhihua and then at Ye. Having pondered for a while, he asked, “What did you just say? People nowadays are getting bolder and bolder. Didn’t you think about the consequence when you said that to me?”
The impression on Ye’s face changed. She didn’t know why she had said that. As she realized what had happened, she got cold sweats all over.
She did have gone too far.
However, she still couldn’t put up with Shen Zhongbai bringing that woman to Prime Minister Gu’s mansion when there was a funeral.
Even if he didn’t like Gu Zhihua, he had still gone too far by doing that. She hated the men who played the field.
Ye’s plan of playing tough didn’t work out, then she walked back and stood with Gu Zhihua.
Shen Zhongbai snorted without giving a glance at Ye.
He was well aware of what the two women were thinking. Ever since they asked for the position of the Third Princess, Shen Zhongbai had already seen them through. They could only blame themselves for having low intelligence and excessive desire. They asked for what they didn’t deserve.
