Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 167

Chapter 167 A Room Together
Gu Zhiying sniffed the scent of Shen Zhongbai’s body, and now that he was close at hand, the scent lingered at the tip of her nose, as if she was intentionally showing something.

He wouldn’t have this kind of smell on him before, now the smell on him was telling Gu Zhi Hua that he was coming from a woman’s room, even if the name of the woman hidden in his heart was called Court Lady Gu, didn’t he still end up flipping out on Shen Qiangwei’s body?

After she thought of this, she gradually controlled the trembling of her whole body, her voice was word for word: “Your Highness, you are tired today, you’d better go back and rest, I don’t have a place for you to sleep on my side.”

Shen Zhongbai wondered if Gu Zhiying hadn’t always wanted to be honored by him. Now that he’s sent him to his door, Gu Zhiying is backing out?

“How could there not be? This bed is just right for this king to sleep in.” Shen Zhongbai turned to lie on the bed, and reached out to pat the side, signaling Gu Zhiying to sit next to her.

But Gu Zhiying stood there without moving.

“It’s my concubine who was wrong, I thought that feelings would always be there, but I didn’t want to think that I couldn’t touch you no matter what, I’m willing to give up, and I ask Your Highness to let me off the hook.” Gu Zhiying then slowly said.

Shen Zhongbai wondered, was this the same Gu Zhiying who was always clamoring for her love before?

Doesn’t she love herself anymore?

Shen Zhongbai surprisingly in the heart there is a trace of loss, people are so, in other people pampered when they love themselves, emboldened, in other people’s disappointment to leave, but still full of expectation.

Naturally, he still wanted Gu Zhiying to like him, so that he could hold the Gu family in his hands.

If Court Lady Gu were to divest the Gu Family, the position of First Miss would be Gu Zhiying’s, and this would be the last hand, the hold, for both Gu Zhiying and the Gu Family.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Court Lady Gu had made such a move, Shen Zhongbai had never felt that Gu Zhiying was that important.

“Give you up? How is that possible? Gu Zhiying, we’re just going to be entangled with each other for the rest of our lives.”

After saying that he slept on the bed, Gu Zhiying quietly stood there, the corners of her mouth gently raised, before it was she who did not know what to do, but now she finally realized that she had come to this point all caused by herself.

Everything had changed since she had gotten herself very sick earlier, and it was as if she was living again, constantly reflecting, but not too well.

Since no one was willing to think of herself, she didn’t need to think of anyone herself. Before, she had liked Shen Zhongbai, but now, she was going to make Shen Zhongbai like herself.

After thinking for a long time, she stiffly suppressed her urgency to sleep with Shen Zhongbai and turned to leave the room.

Shen Zhongbai on the bed turned his head, raised his eyes to look at Gu Zhiying’s back as she left, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, how did this woman change like this? Before, honey could flow out of her eyes when she saw herself, but now she pushed herself away? His heart didn’t know what was going on, and it softened all of a sudden.

For half a month in a row, Court Lady Gu was muddled in bed, memories kept pouring in her mind, those memories were like one dream after another with no end in sight, it was an ocean of dreams, in which she sank and floated a couple of times, looking to drown, and then surfaced again, the suffocating feeling almost crushed her.

Finally at half a month’s foot, Gu Qiangcheng leisurely opened her eyes, and Gu Huai’an was sitting beside her, surprisingly not holding the tonics that she often drank before.

When she smiled at Gu Huai’an, she asked, “Is there no medicine today?”

Gu Huai’an nodded his head, he had done his best to take care of the place for half a month, his beard grew long, his eyes protruded, and the dark circles under his eyes were very serious.

After he took the pulse of Court Lady Gu, he smiled and said, “You thought of something?”

After that long ago fall into the water, Gu Qiang was like a different person, giving Gu Huai’an the feeling like she was plotting something big, and her tactics and intelligence scared Gu Huai’an, but she didn’t expect that at this most critical time, Gu Qiang lost her memory.

Gu Huai’an desperately wanted to know what important things Court Lady Gu had remembered.

“Brother, I’m so thirsty, what kind of soup and medicine are we drinking these days? Why is it fishy and dry?” Court Lady Gu then asked strangely.

Gu Huai’an was no longer curious at this point, but opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly at her.

This smile was strange, and Court Lady Gu caught the difference behind this smile of his almost just for a moment.

She stormed up, grabbed Gu Huai an s arm, looked into his eyes, and firmly asked, “Brother you with me honestly, why do I feel …… that the taste of that soup medicine is like the taste of blood?”

When Gu Huai’an was shocked, he unnaturally turned his own head away, biting his lip, and said thoughtfully, “That’s fish soup, brightening the eyes, and it’s helpful for you to recover your body.”

How could she believe it? Putting on her clothes, she rushed out, Gu Huai’an pulled but failed to hold on, and saw her rushing to the door as if she was crazy, just in time to bump into Gusu Liang, who had come.

When Gusu Liang saw Court Lady Gu’s appearance, she smiled in surprise and said, “Are you well, girl? That’s simply wonderful, but do you want to go somewhere in a hurry?”

Court Lady Gu stopped, calmed down and asked, “Where is your master?”

Gusu Liang then laughed a little, and then said carelessly, “My master went out, he got wind cold, and looked for a poison doctor to cure him, it probably takes a long time to come back, he said that if you regained your memory, you should help him to manage this courtyard, and everything under him, girl you’re getting rich.”

Gusu Liang’s smile was light, and there was even some flirting when he spoke, before Court Lady Gu put her hand down, re-entered the room, dressed, and said with Gu Huai’an, “Brother, I can’t leave the Gu Family yet, there’s something I need to confirm.”

Gusu Liang at the doorway had tears in her eyes the moment Gu Qiang turned back, how could he, Shen Qianshan, have contracted a wind chill? He is ……

She thought of the days when Court Lady Gu was about to regain her memory, when Shen Qianshan called her over.

In ten years, that was the first time, Gusu Liang saw his master in such a sorry state, his face was pale, his bones were as thin as firewood, curled up on that bed in his room, that bed was so big and soft that he almost completely sank into it.

Even then, there was a smile on his lips.

“When the court lady wakes up, tell her that I’m sick and went out to look for medicine, give her all of this Easy Mountain so that she can have a place to stay afterward, even though she is the Gu family’s first-born young miss, but she doesn’t have anyone to love her, my body is failing, I always feel as if I’ve lost weight, don’t let the court lady see me like this, she’ll be heartbroken.” Shen Qianshan slowly said word by word.

His voice was like a stream of water, slow and unruffled.

Gusu Liang, however, after hearing these words, squatted on the ground and hugged her head and cried, she convulsed and raised her eyes to ask: ”Master, is it worth it? It is true that the girl needs to retrieve her memories, but the girl needs you even more, if anything happens to you, what about this Easy Mountain? What are we going to do with our Jin Night Su Ge? You are too irresponsible!”

The more Gusu Liang spoke, the harder it became, she had never cried, even if it was a great thing in the sky, it was nothing in front of her.

When Shen Qianshan saw Gusu Liang’s appearance, he instantly laughed, and this laugh even made his whole body twitch uncomfortably.

“Liang’er don’t cry, it’s not like I must die, as long as it’s a good recuperation it’s still possible, you’re crying like this, letting people think I’m dead …… how else can I protect the court ladies?”

Gushu Ryou nodded, sat up from the floor, wiped the tears from his own face, and without saying anything, retreated.

Pi time Gu court ladies pack up their own things are ready to leave the free mountain, in the doorway, Gu Huai’an still can not help but ask: “court ladies you but think well, you if this time to go back, certainly will be the Gu family forced to marry Shen Zhongbai’s, Shen Qianshan he for you ……”

Shen Qianshan was even willing to take his own life for the sake of Gu Qiang, if Gu Qiang married Shen Zhongbai, no matter what it was for, there was always a sense that the good cabbage had finally been arched by a pig.

“What did Shen Qianshan do for me?” Court Lady Gu seemed to just casually pick up on this as she hitched her luggage to the back of her horse and was struggling to climb up.

Seeing that she didn’t care about her words, Gu Huai’an didn’t say anything more about Shen Qianshan, but just went on to ask, “Why must you go down the mountain?”

“Brother don’t you want to know why our mother died?” Court Lady Gu stopped and turned her head to ask.

Gu Huai’an paused for a moment, he opened his mouth, and his eyes darkened violently.

When Jiang Rou left, Gu Huai’an was only a few years old, and he didn’t know the significance of his mother to his life back then.

Some people lack something from the start, even if they have it afterward.

Gu Huai’an thought about how he had witnessed his mother bleeding in the middle of the night, her whole body trembling, ever so soft and weak, and in all his childhood, he could only see his mother like this, struggling, the kind of struggle that could kill her if he wasn’t careful.

“Why else would I be in medicine?” Gu Huai’an then said.

Court lady Gu gave a beat, then realized what he meant, but said seriously, “Brother, I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for you, but if I have the chance, I will definitely tell you as it is, mother’s death was not an illness, but the old madam and Ye’s teamed up to do it, as for Gu Zhi-Painting, she is not the Prime Minister Gu’s daughter at all, it is only because of what I have heard that I have been poisoned by Ye, and now I’m going to go back and find the evidence that they hurt mother.”

Gu Huai’an froze in place, he seemed to not be able to accept these things for a while, but after thinking about it, he understood all of it and said, “You pay attention to your safety, if it doesn’t work out, come back, brother is always standing behind you.”

She could see that he also wanted to avenge his mother’s death, and the resentment in his heart towards Ye and the old madam was unmatched.
