Chapter 005: Open Robbery

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The situation remained tense, with Duke Guou gasping in anger, Gu Qiancheng keeping silent with pursed lips, and Madam Gu only knowing how to cry

If after six months, Qianxue does not give birth prematurely? Qin Yunchu's eyes flickered slightly as she made a ruthless decision in her heart, but unfortunately, Gu Qiancheng was not easily deceived

Everyone turned to look at Qin Yunchu, finally understanding why he wanted to change brides; it turned out that they had had a deep relationship before the marriage.

Previously, it was concealed under the term "premature birth," but now it is no longer hidden at all. Madam Gu is at a loss as to what to do, so she simply closes her eyes and pretends to faint

How do I ?

Seeing that Duke Guo had calmed down, Gu Qiancheng hurriedly stepped forward, quickly moving ahead of Duke Guo to stand in front of Madam Gu. In a voice low enough for the two of them to hear, he softly admonished, "What are you crying for? It's not a day of mourning for your mother. Today is the joyous occasion of your daughter's wedding. Cry a little less, or be careful that the ancestors of the Gu family come to find you in the middle of the night"

Excessive? The one being excessive is you, Young Master. You should be more cautious. If Qianxue can engage in deep conversations with you before marriage today, she can also have deep interactions with other men outside of marriage tomorrow. Gu Qiancheng stood her ground, mocking.

"Do not speak carelessly; be cautious, or this heir will report you to the Dali Temple." Qin Yunchu found no words to refute and could only issue a threat.

Gu Qiancheng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger within her. She cast a disdainful glance at Madam Gu, thinking that her daughter was already of marrying age, yet she still pretended to cry like a young girl, not caring about tarnishing others' eyes.

If Gu Qianxue does not give birth prematurely in six months, then within these six months, Gu Qianxue will certainly experience a miscarriage and read books. The young master does not believe this; shall we invite the imperial physician to make a judgment? Gu Qiancheng smiled innocently, yet these words struck like a sharp arrow

You... Qin Yunchu gritted her teeth in anger, unable to believe that the seemingly innocent Gu Qiancheng had become so sharp-witted.

Gu Qianxue's pregnancy is so obvious that if she were to be mistaken, she would be blinding her own eyes and would never engage in the medical profession again

"This is terrible, this is terrible, the lady has fainted from anger at the young miss."

The young lady is truly excessive; the madam thinks only of her, yet she lacks even the most basic filial piety

As for whether Qin Yunchu can understand, she does not concern herself with that

Gu Qiancheng is confident in her medical skills; not to mention the living, even the deceased, as long as the individual is pregnant, she can discern it.

Without anyone to comfort her, Madam Gu cried even more pitifully. Gradually, she truly began to weep. A little maid dressed in a peach-red outer garment, witnessing this scene, quietly withdrew.

The matters of the Gu family are indeed quite amusing, and the imperial city is bustling with activity

Gu Qiancheng's words were utterly straightforward, and everyone present understood. It was no secret that Madam Gu gave birth to a daughter six months after her marriage. Unexpectedly, Madam Gu's daughter also...

Madam Gu's face turned alternately pale and green, leaving her so embarrassed that she could not speak

Unfortunately, regardless of how harshly others spoke, Gu Qiancheng did not take it to heart. He shook his head and sighed, saying: "Mother, your health is truly not ordinary in its fragility. You can give birth to a healthy child after six months, yet you faint at the slightest issue. Tsk tsk tsk, can you really bear the responsibilities of being the matriarch of the Gu family? It seems my father is once again preparing to find a stepmother."

The crowd surrounding the *picture* book finally couldn't help but laugh, initially thinking they were there to witness the excitement surrounding Gu Qiancheng, only to find out it was actually the commotion surrounding Madam Gu.

Gu Qiancheng had sharp eyes and recognized that the maid was from Gu Qianxue. This maid was likely going to fetch reinforcements. Gu Qiancheng knew that this matter needed to be resolved quickly; if her grandparents arrived, the situation would turn unfavorable for her. Her grandparents only cared about the family's reputation and would not concern themselves with her dowry issues.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiancheng was not afraid at all: "If the Young Master of Chu wants to sue, then let him sue; I do not care. Whether I am speaking recklessly will be revealed six months later."

"Miss, you are still a young lady; how can you speak so recklessly? You..." Madam Quanfu's words were only half-finished. Before Qin Yunchu could respond, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and fell silent.

Hmm... Hmm. After being scolded by Gu Qiancheng, Madam Gu was so frightened that she stopped her tears, her face as pale as paper. However, Gu Qiancheng was unwilling to let her off so easily. He took a slight step back and gently advised, "Mother, I was wrong just now; I should not have referred to you as Madam Gu. Mother, please cry a little less. When Qianxue gives birth to the child of Prince Chu in six months, you can cry then"

Madam, what is the matter with you?

Gu Qiancheng, do not go too far. Stepping on a sore spot, Qin Yunchu jumped up in anger, his eyes red, glaring at Gu Qiancheng and also at the onlookers.

Just as one wave subsides, another rises. The attacks that Duke Gu has faced today surpass all he has endured in the first half of his life combined. After finally catching his breath, he finds it interrupted again, collapsing into his chair, gasping for air, his eyes fixed fiercely on Gu Qiancheng, revealing a menacing glare.

He just couldn't understand how, in the blink of an eye, these people shifted from watching the lively scene of Qiancheng to watching his own lively scene
