Gu Huai's face was covered with tears. He held Lin Qianqian tightly, "Qianqian, you don't know how much I'm afraid of losing you!"

"I'm a coward! I was in agony after what happened. I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid of losing you. But if I didn't tell you, my conscience would condemn me. If I kept it from you, you would know it later and it would hurt you even more."

"I blame myself! I regret it so much!"

"I'm stupid, I'm dumb, I'm a fool. I know that other people look down on me from the bottom of their hearts, but you are the only one who treats me seriously and equally."

Lin Qianqian really wanted Gu Huai to divorce her.

Just leave and have nothing to do with each other again.

There is no reason to divorce for the time being. At this juncture, she has not done anything wrong, and he probably won't divorce her.

She hesitated for a long time before saying to Gu Huai, "I am just a concubine. It is your wife who should stand by you. You two just don't have feelings for each other temporarily. As time goes by, you will fall in love with the Crown Prince's wife."

"So, Prince, there's no need for you to cling to me."

"You should take care of her, so that you two can consummate your marriage soon, and your mother will be happy too."

Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian in disbelief and said angrily, "You are mad at me!"

"You're going to push me to someone else! You don't want me anymore!"

"You're just mad at me!"

Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's arms tightly, squeezing them so hard that her bones hurt.

Lin Qianqian said, "I am telling the truth." This is the plot of the original text.

Regardless of whether she was looking for trouble with the heroine every day, the plot of the story remained unchanged. Everything that was supposed to happen happened, and she didn't want to die too quickly.

Gu Huai said earnestly, "Although Cheng Jiayao married me as her legal wife, she never treated me as a husband, a man who needs love. I am also a person who needs care and love."

"As long as someone loves me and cares about me, I am so easily moved."

"She also looked down on me, I knew it in my heart. Although I only met her twice briefly, because I was not good at reading and could not compose poems and couplets, I could see the contempt in her eyes clearly. I know that she is a well-educated lady from a high-class family. People who are well-educated will only look down on men like me who can't even make couplets. They think I am illiterate and have the same level as the peddlers outside. You, on the other hand, don't care about my literary level at all. You accept me as I am."

"Similarly, because I dote on you, she thinks I have bad character. She wants a husband who treats her well. She married me because she had no better choice. She was attracted by our family background, my father, and the Marquisate, not me. Do you understand?"

"You are the only one who is interested in me. You are willing to approach me, love me, understand me, and walk into my heart step by step."

"She has always wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, not my wife."

"What should a wife be like? She should love her husband, serve him, put him first in everything, face his needs, and think about him. These days, she doesn't want to see me. She uses the management of the Marquis' Mansion as an excuse to avoid me everywhere. It's just right that I don't want to see her either."

Lin Qianqian frowned, "No matter what happens now, you will like her."

"You are the same kind of people."

They were people of the same era, receiving the same education and culture, but her ideas were incompatible with the entire era.

Gu Huai asked loudly, "You actually think I would fall in love with her?"

"It's you I like. There's only you."

"I'm not interested in her. I don't mean to belittle her, she's a good person, but she's just not my type."

"I like people like you who are lively and outgoing, and speak directly. Not only is her etiquette well-taught, but her smile is also well-taught since she was a child. She never laughs out loud. Such a woman seems to always wear a mask, and her true heart cannot be touched. But you never hide your smile, and because it is too straightforward, it touches my heart directly."

Lin Qianqian said, "That is also the rule of a large feudal family. It's not that she is wearing a false face, but she wants to prevent her daughter from making her husband's family angry at any time, so she educates her daughter this way."

Gu Huai nodded, "You're right. She's not the only one who lives under this kind of education and rules. I've also lived under this kind of education and rules since I was a child."

"I have been locked in a cage since I was a child, and you are the bird flying freely in the sky. I yearn for you, I envy you, and I also like a woman who is not bound by rules, who can say whatever she wants and do whatever she wants."

Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's shoulders and looked at her with concern. "I will probably never have your bravery and courage, and neither will Cheng Jiayao. But I just like you so much, I love you so much."

"You did for me what I have never dared to do or say. Although it was risky, it was exciting and interesting."

"Every time you speak boldly, I worry about you. But you use your eloquence to resolve the problem skillfully. Just like that, my heart always rises and falls for you."

"Being with Cheng Jiayao is probably like being a coward, keeping your head down and living your whole life cautiously. You will be safe and sound in this life. But you won't have the heart-pounding experience of being with you."

"What you said really made me feel happy, but it also made me worried. I was afraid that something might happen to you and I wouldn't be able to protect you."

"So, I have made up my mind that I must not continue to be a loser. If I continue to stay where I am, I will not be able to protect your smile."

"I think this is probably what love is. My heart is always hanging on you. I can't let it go, I can't bear to give it up, I can't throw it away... I can only think of you in my heart..."

Gu Huai hugged Lin Qianqian tightly again, holding her slender and delicate wrist tightly, "Qianqian, do you understand? Do you understand what you mean to me? You represent my free soul."

"That's the part I lack the most. That's why I love you and I must have you."

"With you, my life is complete."

"The other women in the courtyard are the same as Cheng Jiayao. They obediently accept all arrangements. I promised to give them the status of concubines and let them have food and drink in the mansion, but I will never touch them. If they dare to embarrass you or cause trouble for you, I can drive them away at any time."

"I have warned you about Liuli. I am afraid of making you angry and unhappy. You are the only one who makes me so scared. Others are meaningless to me and I don't care."

Does she actually represent his soul that yearns for freedom?

But, so what? Who can easily twist the thigh of the plot?

"Prince, please let go."

Lin Qianqian insisted, "I have packed my luggage, and the carriage is waiting outside."

"Don't let it go!"

"I will never let you go in this lifetime!"

Gu Huai hugged Lin Qianqian and wailed in pain, "I know I did something wrong, and I'm sorry for you. But I'm so afraid that you will just walk away and never forgive me."

"Why else would you push me to Cheng Jiayao?"

Lin Qianqian didn't expect that it would have a counterproductive effect.

She just revealed the plot to him, allowing him and Cheng Jiayao to skip her and directly develop their relationship.

Do I have to be a tool?

"Master Hou!"

A voice was heard outside the courtyard, and then the Marquis walked in majestically.

He asked the two people in the room, "What are you doing?"

Gu Huai knelt down and begged, "Dad, Qianqian just came back and she's leaving. I can't bear to let her go. Besides, I just did something wrong and I haven't gotten her forgiveness yet. I can't let her go!"

"Please tell the Queen Mother that she is not feeling well and will come to the palace a day or two later. Besides, she will write the script first before going to the palace. Can't you let her finish writing the script in the Marquis' Mansion? She can stay with me for two more days."
