Seeing Gu Qiang, Ye’s stretched nerves could not stand anymore. She knew she would be doomed. Though Gu Qiang had no expression on her face, Ye found sensitively that Gu Qiang was different from before.
It felt as if everyone couldn’t pretend to be respectful anymore after knowing the secret of each other.
She thought Gu Qiang didn’t salute her because the girl had something on her. However, in fact, that was because Gu Qiang was an infanta and didn’t need to salute a concubine of the Prime Minister.
“Qiang, your grandma is dying. I don’t know when your father will come back. If you have time, go inside to see your grandma for the last time.” Ye drew out a handkerchief from her sleeve and pretended to wipe tears that didn’t exist. Then she went out.
When Ye walked past Gu Qiang, she withdrew her sharp eyes. The secret couldn’t be kept anymore. If she wanted to save herself, Gu Qiang was her last hope.
She had to
With all these issues happening at the same time, he felt as if his feet were on fire. For a moment, he got so anxious that he even bent and coughed.Shen Qianshan held Gu Qiang’s hand tightly. Right now she had her eyes closed with a pale face, looking quite pitiful as if she got really sick. Shen Qianshan pursed his lips and turned to Prime Minister Gu. That old man was Gu Qiang’s parent, but also an unfit father. The reason why he had come here was that he wanted to see if Gu Qiang had any use for him.As a matter of fact, what had just happened was not Prime Minister Gu’s fault. Someone came in to help Prime Minister Gu out. After that, the people in this small and even a bit shabby yard all left except for Jin Ye and Gusu Liang.“Get the hell inside.” Shen Qianshan’s cold and piercing voice came through. Gusu Liang, frightened out of her wits, rushed in and knelt on the ground. The blood stain on her neck which was left by the man i
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 u
Many girls in the capital dreamed of being the princess. However, only a few could realize their dream.Prime Minister Gu walked around the coffin in the front of the mourning hall and came over with a sullen face. He wondered whether the Third Prince and Ninth Duke had made a deal to give him trouble today. He was already in a bad mood, but his family affairs got trickier and he was bullied by these young people.Even if he knew he was not a great person, he still couldn’t bear the insult those duke or prince gave to him.It was understandable for Shen Qianshan to go off on Prime Minister Gu because of Gu Qiang. After all, on the day of Gu Zhihua’s wedding, everyone saw Gu Qiang’s intimate interaction with Shen Qianshan and the love in their eyes was hard to hide.However, the case was completely different on Shen Zhongbai. He had brought that woman here when such a big event happened in the Gu family. Prime Minister Gu was
Shen Zhongbai was sitting in one of the gazebos. He was only twelve at that time. The first time they met, he wore a light blue robe which was of exceptionally rare material.He raised his head proudly and totally ignored Gu Zhihua who was kneeling on the ground. It seemed that he would leave at any moment.However, she just couldn’t move her eyes away from him. Never had she seen a man more handsome than him. That encounter had made a difference in her life.Now she only ended up like this. After she had pulled every string she had and used up her intelligence, she still didn’t get anything at last.Having stepped out from behind Ye, Gu Zhihua raised her head and took a deep breath. Then she said with a trembling voice, “Since you dislike me and my family so much, why don’t you divorce me now?”Everyone was shocked at once and turned to Gu Zhihua.Everyone in the capital knew that Gu Zhihua was cra
Seeing Gu Zhihua being so stubborn, Prime Minister Gu, teeth gritted, finally said, “Zhihua, you’ve chosen this road. No matter what happens in the future, you have to stick to it. Also, this is your last chance. You still have a long way to go. No matter what Shen Zhongbai does to you, you’ll never be free again.”After saying that, he walked to Ye and stared at her coldly, as if he wanted to say something. At last, he didn’t say anything and only looked at her with a disappointed look.Ye flinched a bit. So many things had happened in this family. Prime Minister Gu hadn’t had the time to tell the emperor on Shen Zhongbai for the insult the latter had brought to the Gu’s family last time, and now something like this had happened to this family. Ye knew that Prime Minister Gu must have gone mad now, because Shen Zhongbai had been provoking the Gu’s family even at a moment like this.To be honest, Ye didn’t know what she had done wrong to offend
Gu Qiang didn't have any idea about what Shen Zhongbai said, but Gusu Liang did. According to her understanding, Shen Qianshan was having a secret date with a woman somewhere, and Shen Zhongbai wanted to take Gu Qiang there to catch them in the act.However, Gusu Liang still had belief in her own master no matter what others said. In Shen Qianshan's life, women were never something he missed. Every woman was willing to give out everything as long as he acknowledged her as his woman in public.In this world, the higher position, the better. But a handsome man like Shen Qianshan, who didn't have much interest in women, was already the best challenge. If a woman could conquer him, then it would be a huge recognition of her charm. His love itself was the biggest hand a woman could have against all the other ones.But Gusu Liang was always a bit obtuse in terms of the relationship between men and women. She couldn't come to a clear conclusion
Gu Qiang stared at her quietly. The woman bit her lips and said in a weak voice, "Qianshan, I don't have any strength left. Give me some food, and I need a doctor."She fainted right after finishing her words. Jin Ye watched her falling and didn't want to touch this woman again. After all, her identity was... But if he didn't help her up now, she would fall on the ground. He inwardly complained about his own master for suddenly releasing the woman from his arms. If it hadn’t been Jin Ye, she would probably have been severely injured.Shen Qianshan was hesitant. He turned around to look at Gu Qiang, who didn't show any expression on her face. She didn't seem to care about what happened in front of her at all.He wondered if Gu Qiang would be angry back to the time when she didn’t lose her memories. But actually, he didn't mean to irritate her or make her jealous this time because this woman was different.Then he chose to hel
Shen Qianshan took a sip of the tea with an awkward look on his face. He couldn't maintain his usual calmness anymore. "Emm... Qiang?"Apparently, he was not used to her new identity yet. He still couldn't believe the empress suddenly became his own wife. How should he address her? Your highness? Or just Gu Qiang?"If we can't contact her, we won't know anything about Gu Huaian's situation. This is the most stressful thing right now."Shen Qianshan knew he shouldn't add fuel to the fire now, but he didn't really care. This was Gu Qiang's obsession, not his. A person couldn't be too selfish."According to my memory, Gu Huaian's death was delayed for three days. Do you know about it? He still died... but it was delayed," Shen Qianshan said cautiously, observing the empress' expression. She was much stronger than before mentally after going through many things, but she was just a woman, after all. No one could accept so many tr
