Chapter 48: Stuck in a Dilemma



"I told you... let me in!"

Gu Yunru didn't want to waste any time with these people, so she pushed them aside and rushed into the Spring Flower Pavilion.

"Hey, hurry up and stop her!"

Several women were frightened by her, but Gu Yunru continued to shout Qingxing's name as she ran upstairs. She pushed open the doors to the rooms one by one and saw several men chasing after her. She used everything she could find around her to throw at them.

"Qingxing!" Gu Yunru's voice grew even louder, and many people became curious and stuck their heads out to see what this crazy woman was up to.

At that moment, Qingxing, who was chopping wood in the backyard, heard the commotion and quickly put down her work. She rushed to the main hall.

"Miss!"

"Qingxing."

Gu Yunru walked up to her and tightly held her hand, hugging her close.

Several men rushed forward and surrounded them. Qingxing quickly wiped away her tears and said to everyone, "It's a misunderstanding. This is my mistress."

Qingxing led Gu Yunru to the backyard and exclaimed excitedly, "Miss, how did you find your way here?"

"I was told by Lai Fu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that you were sold by those people," replied Gu Yunru.

Gu Yunru noticed the various scars on Qing Qingxing and felt heartbroken. "You're doing this rough work here?"

Qing Apricot nodded. "Thanks to Lai Fu, the housekeeper, he ordered the manager here to let me do odd jobs in the backyard. Otherwise, I would have been forced to serve clients..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunru felt somewhat relieved.

After paying a large sum of money to Chunhua Building, she left with Qingxing and returned to the Gu mansion. She couldn't wait to teach those people a lesson.

As she returned with a fierce aura, dinner was already prepared, but her portion was not yet prepared.

"Hey, you finally came back," said Madam Gu with a sneer.

Gu Yunru suddenly smiled, which made Gu Junyao feel uneasy.

"Let me see what delicious dishes we have," Gu Yunru strode over and looked at the food, then overturned the table.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?" Madam Gu turned pale with fear, and Gu Junyao's hand was scalded by the hot soup, resulting in a large area of red blisters.

"I'll tell you, once I marry into the prince mansion, the first person I won't forgive is you. Rongzhen has already recovered from his illness, and I'm sure everyone in the capital knows about me and the prince's affairs. Since that's the case, I'll go along with your wishes and marry into the princg mansion obediently. However, your good days are over after that," said Gu Yunru domineeringly. Her words left them speechless and the surroundings quiet. Holding Qingxing hand, she returned to the Pavilion Garden.

Gu Junyao couldn't help but cry out loud, her hands turning red. Madam Gu felt sorry for her and called the steward to hurry and call the doctor to bandage her wounds so that she could rest in her room first.

Just as master Gu had finished taking his medicine and was about to rest, he saw Madam Gu walk into the room in a hurry.

"What's going on outside? Is that girl causing trouble again after coming back?" Madam Gu felt no waves in his heart when he heard that Gu Junru had returned, only feeling that another trouble was coming.

Madam Gu sat by the bed, pretending to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, and cried, "You don't know, Gu Junru is so arrogant. She said that after she marries into the prince Family, she won't let me and Junyao live in peace. She will make a huge fuss! "

After saying these words, Madam Gu said with a face of grievance, "Master, you'd better just write a divorce letter and let me take our two daughters to the countryside to avoid her. We really can't afford to provoke this big shot."

Madam Gu was just pretending to say these words in front of master Gu to draw his attention. master Gu clenched his fists when he heard this, his temples almost bursting with blue veins. He coughed twice and said, "This unfilial daughter dares to be so arrogant!"

"Yes, she said that Wang Ye's condition has improved a lot. This engagement was originally between Wang Ye and Junyao, but she took advantage of it. As a mother, I feel so wronged. I'm actually being bullied by a younger generation and I have no face to show. "

While Madam Gu sobbed, master Gu felt anxious. He grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Okay, stop crying. Crying won't help. We need to find a way for Junyao to take her place. We must eliminate this misunderstanding and make Wang Ye understand that he is marrying Junyao."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Madam Gu's eyes. This was exactly what she wanted from master Gu.

Returning to Junyao's room, she saw her sitting on a chair, constantly fuming with anger, and quickly said, "You all leave."

"Yes," the maidservants withdrew, and Gu Junyao tugged at her mother's arm with a grievance, saying, "Mother, look at what that bitch did. She actually burned me like this. Who would dare to marry me in the future?"

Gu Junyao cried and whined as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Madam Gu lifted her daughter's sleeve and looked at the red patch on her wrist, which was indeed very unsightly. But now they had to swallow this grievance, otherwise, they would not be able to carry out their future plans.

"Good daughter, mother will take care of this matter for you. However, the current Gu Yunru is not as easy to deceive as before."

Gu Junyao pouted and said with a face full of grievances, "What should we do then? Are we just going to let her step on us? Didn't you see how arrogant she was today? She even said that she won't let us look good after marrying into the prince family. I want to see what this woman can do!"

Gu Junyao was furious and wanted to peel her skin, pull out her tendons, eat her flesh, and drink her blood. In short, she wanted to make her disappear from this world!

Madam Gu had self-reflected quite a bit after this incident. She touched her daughter's head and comforted her, "Now is not the time to say these angry words. Instead of thinking about how to make her disappear, why not think about how to win over the heart of prince Zhao? If she loses the prince Zhao she will be nothing."

"Mother, do you have any good ideas?"

Gu Junyao's eyes lit up, and even her complexion improved a bit.

"Good daughter, she is so confident now solely because the prince Zhao is supporting her. The person who should be marrying into the Wang family as the Wangfei is you, not her."

"But... the prince Zhao already knows her and has had contact with her. If we tell him directly that she is replacing me as the Wangfei, he will surely be angry."

Gu Junyao had not slept for several nights because of this matter. If Gu Yunru hadn't returned, she might still have been able to marry into the Wang family and become the Wangfei with ease.

"Good daughter, you won't know if you don't try. Mother has already bribed several old maids in the Wang family. The Wang family's master can buy news about his whereabouts every day. You need to slowly get close to him and firmly grasp his heart."
