The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

The nanny who was sent by Madam Gu to watch over them quickly stopped them: "It's because the son-in-law likes the young lady that he is so enthusiastic towards her. The young lady was not beaten."

"You two little girls don't understand. You will understand when the young lady finds you a husband to marry."

This is what true love can do. Madam and Master should be relieved now.

Jin Ling and Liu Yu's faces turned even redder, and they stamped their feet and said, "Mammy, what are you talking about? We won't marry and will serve the young lady for the rest of our lives."

The nanny smiled but said nothing.

She called for water four times in one night, and was only let go after Gu Yunyan fell asleep.

In the military camp, many soldiers went to the brothel to relax and discussed the couple's marriage with envy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Guan's nephew has become the son-in-law of the Gu family."

"The wedding banquet is grand, and there is a buffet. Within nine days, anyone who wants to eat can eat for free as long as they say a blessing to Miss Gu and her husband."

"I just had a day off today, so I went to eat. I have to say, the food was really delicious."

"There are chickens, ducks, fish and meat, plenty of oil and water, and wine to drink. This is really a great time."

"Is Master Gu really so generous?"

"Didn't Madam Gu give birth to twin boys? Why do they want Miss Gu to stay at home and find a husband? Wouldn't it be better for her to get married?"

"Mr. Gu loves his daughter, so he will give Miss Gu a lot of money in the future. I really envy Guan Yuqin for marrying such a rich man."

"You don't have to prepare a betrothal gift, and you can collect a large sum of money."

"Alas, why can't I have such a good thing? As long as I get married, I can become a rich man, marry a beautiful woman, and live a happy and fairy-like life."

"There's no point in me working so hard here. Not only do I have no money, but I could lose my life at any time."

"Guan Yuqin is not bad either. He wiped out most of the pirates this time, which is a great achievement. He is going to be promoted and make a fortune. I don't know what he is thinking, and he wants to marry into the Gu family."

The thin and dark soldier who was busy working on Gu Lamei stopped and said with disdain.

But his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Gu Lamei had the same emotions in her eyes. She was forced to serve those soldiers every day and had no ability to dress up and take care of herself.

Gradually, she became pale and thin.

It was a vicious cycle, the soldiers who came to find her became more and more unbearable, and even more terrifying was that she was pregnant, but she didn't know who the father of the child was.

"I don't want this child, I don't want it!" Gu Lamei pounded her belly hard.

Gu Changcun's eyes were full of disgust. He lay on the hay, and a rotten smell emanated from his body.

It's his butt that's rotten.

His eyes flashed, "How can you abort it if you beat it like this? You need to take abortion pills. That old groom has a crush on you, right? Just ask him to buy you a set of abortion pills."

The old groom was almost fifty years old, blind in one eye and missing a leg.

His ex-wife was beaten to death by him while she was pregnant.

Speaking of him, Gu Lamei thought of his black and yellow, smelly teeth. She was very resistant: "He is old and ugly, I won't go to him."

"Who do you want to see?"

"You are a military prostitute now. If you don't abort the child quickly, do you want to be like that woman Hu who offended Gu Yunyan, who was pregnant for four or five months but was killed by those soldiers?"

Her reminder made Gu Lamei's face turn pale instantly.

Hu Niang is beautiful and has a good figure. She has not been able to abort the child after she became pregnant. There is a perverted man in the military camp who likes pregnant women.

There are many ways to torture people, and some people can be tortured to death.

When she died, her lower body was covered in blood, and all the blood in her body had drained out. She was terrified and said, "Oh my god!"

Gu Changcun's expression eased: "Ask him to buy me some medicine as well."

Gu Lamei didn't respond. She walked out of the bunk bed to find the groom. When she came back, her face was flushed and her lips were swollen.

His clothes were disheveled and hung loosely on his body.

She held a bag of medicinal herbs in her arms, went to find something to boil the medicine, drank a bowl of black medicine, and then lay on the hay waiting.

Gu Changcun looked grim: "Where are my medicines? Where are the medicines I asked you to buy?"

If he continues like this, maggots will grow on his body and he will be thrown out of the barracks to fend for himself. No matter how miserable and depressed her life is, she doesn't want to die.

The drug took effect and Gu Lamei's stomach ached. Sweat broke out on her face and body. She gritted her teeth, covered her stomach and rolled over.

It hurts so much!

She redirected her attention and replied, "What can I do if the groom doesn't want to?"

She felt something flowing out of her body and smiled weakly. Great, it worked.

A quarter of an hour passed and the blood was still flowing from below. She was in a panic.

He looked at Gu Changcun, who was still angry, and said, "Brother, please help me find someone to come in. I am bleeding!"

Gu Changcun turned his head away, pretending he didn't hear it.

"Gu Lamei is dead?" Gu Yunyan was packing her luggage. When she heard Wu Liang's words, she raised her eyebrows. She died too quickly.

"Madam, Gu Lamei died of hemorrhage after abortion, and Gu Changcun..."

"Go down."

Wu Liang was startled when his words were interrupted, and he stopped talking, almost saying something indecent: "Yes, sir, madam, I will urge the servants to move faster."

Pei Qinyu retracted her cold eyes and continued, "Gu Changcun's flesh has rotted away, and he has been thrown out of the military camp and has become a beggar."

As for where it was rotten, he didn't say it, so as not to pollute Gu Yunyan's ears.

But the system secretly found out, and she quickly reported: [Host, it is Gu Changcun's butt that is rotten! ]

Gu Yunyan burst out laughing.

You know, a delicate and handsome man will not be spared if he enters a wolf's den. It's a blessing that he didn't die even though his buttocks were rotten.

But death is inevitable.

Seeing her happy smile, Pei Qinyu also felt happy. She snatched the dress from her hand and said softly, "You don't need to bring so many of these. I will buy them for you when we get to the capital."

The finest gold and silver jewellery and dresses made by the imperial court were worthy of his Crown Princess.

Gu Yunyan looked worried: "Do your parents dislike me or hate me?"

Pei Qinyu stretched out his hands and hugged her into his arms: "No, I'm here. My father and mother spoil me the most. They won't embarrass you when they know I can't live without you."

Humph, how is that possible.

Not only did the most proud prince secretly marry the daughter of a small merchant, he also married her as a son-in-law.

It would be strange if the Queen and the Emperor liked her.

The next morning, they set out for the capital. Traveling with them was Guan and his family, as Guan had just returned to the capital to report on his work.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu saw them off with their two sons.

"Yan'er, you must be filial and respectful to your elders. You can't act capriciously like you do at home and whip them at every turn."

Mrs. Gu explained in detail.

Gu Yunyan pouted and rolled her eyes: "Mom, I understand. I will be obedient."

How could a mother not see her daughter's little thoughts?

She nodded her forehead helplessly, glanced at the new son-in-law who was talking to Master Gu, and whispered: "Just bear with it, they are all your son-in-law's relatives."

"Anyway, after the Chinese New Year, you will be able to come back in a few months."

----

No, I can’t come back this time, Gu Yunyan responded silently in her heart.

After getting on the carriage, they quickly left the city gate. She leaned out of the window and saw the beggars fighting.

"This is our territory. If you dare to come here to beg, you are seeking death!"

The leading beggar looked at the woman and the child on the ground viciously and said, "Beat them to death!"

Upon hearing what Fen said, the other beggars started to touch and kick her.

Gu was grabbed by the hair and dragged. She was dirty and old, but she was a woman, so the beggars beat her and took advantage of her.

Gu Laoyao was kicked back and forth, just like a human Cuju.

Blood was oozing from his mouth and nostrils. He hugged his knees with his hands and curled himself into a ball. He could no longer utter the words to beg for mercy.

"Stop hitting us, stop hitting us. We will never beg here again. Please stop hitting us!" Gu looked at them with heartache and tears streaming down her face.

The leading beggar didn't say anything, but the other beggars kept moving their hands and feet.

It was not until Gu Yunyan was sitting in the carriage and could hardly see them anymore that the beggars finally let Gu mother and son go.

Gu crawled over and hugged the youngest Gu.

She wiped the blood off his face with trembling hands. The more she wiped, the more blood came out, and her entire hands were stained red.

"My son, please don't abandon me!"

She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she picked up her son and ran to the city to find a doctor to treat her son.

The bailiff guarding the city gate stopped her.

"What are you doing? No! You can't enter the city!"

Gu knelt down and kowtowed, her voice miserable: "Please be kind, my son is dying, he is dying, I want to take him to see a doctor for treatment!"

But no one was willing to help her.

She had already become famous in the capital city. The feud between Mr. Gu and her family was deep, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

In the end, the youngest Gu died, and the whereabouts of the Gu family were unknown.

A woman's floating corpse was found in a pond outside the city, which was a sad thing.

The people around were really nervous for a while.

She grabbed her child's ear and warned him not to run towards the water, lest he fall in and drown like her.

Gu Yunyan didn't feel anything when she found out.

If they die, they die. It has nothing to do with her. She has already spared their lives. Whether they can live and how long they can live depends entirely on themselves.

A few days later, they abandoned their carriage and took a boat to the capital.

The closer you get to the capital, the colder the weather gets.

Halfway through the journey, the sea began to freeze and the river was frozen, so they had no choice but to get off the boat and take a carriage to travel to the capital by land.

Gu Yunyan's body is from the south and she cannot stand the northern winter.

The dry and cold air made her throat sore.

She couldn't let go of the hand warmer, otherwise she would shiver and need to cover herself with a thick quilt.

Out of the cabin.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Gu Yunyan shivered and her lips turned pale.

Pei Qinyu lowered her head and frowned, her eyes full of heartache. She lifted up her gold-woven cloak and covered her with it, then picked her up.

Step off the boat with big strides.

Guan Ying, who was standing beside them, stared at their receding backs, her eyes filled with envy and relief.

It’s a good thing that Ah Yan couldn’t marry the third brother.

Guan Yuqin's parents praised him highly, saying he was a capable man who loved his wife, so they no longer worried that Ayan would be bullied in the future.

"He's so good to you."

Guan Ying glanced at Pei Qinyu who insisted on riding a horse and following the carriage, then leaned close to Gu Yunyan's ear and spoke in a teasing tone in a low voice.

"You have to stay by my side, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"What did Sister Ying say?" Gu Yunyan blushed and replied in a low voice, picking up a piece of pear paste and stuffing it into her mouth.

"Hurry up and eat some pear paste to moisten your throat and clear the internal heat. The weather in the north is cold and dry, and your throat hurts."

This pear paste was made on the first day after getting off the ship.

Pei Qinyu specifically asked Wu Liang to buy it overnight, and also purchased many other things.

All of them were given to her, and I had nothing.

Guan Ying's mouth was blocked, and seeing that she was anxious to change the subject, she nodded, and after swallowing the pear paste, she said: "I have been in Jiangnan for many years, and I am not used to the weather in the north."

She paused and said, "I'm afraid Third Brother will come to pick us up."

Outside the carriage, Pei Qinyu's eyes turned cold, remembering that Guan Fuqing loved Gu Yunyan and regarded himself as her fiancé.

I sent her a lot of little gadgets from the capital, which immediately made me unhappy.

"Father, mother, third sister." Guan Fuqing's gentle voice was heard before they reached the imperial city.

Arrived at the city gate.

Guan Fuqing was just wondering why there seemed to be an extra carriage, and a figure that he had been dreaming about got out of the carriage.

The next moment, his smiling face disappeared without a trace, and his heart sank.

Gu Yunyan had her hair combed into a bun and was helped down from the carriage by Pei Qinyu, who even reached out to lift up a few strands of her hair that had fallen from her bun.

The two of them behaved intimately, as if no one was around.

There were not only onlookers but also many spies sent by officials from aristocratic families to investigate. Lord Guan was afraid that he would cause a commotion and embarrass himself.

He quickly said, "Fu Qing, it's cold today, let's go back home and talk slowly."

Guan Ying nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Third Brother, I'm so cold, I want to go back home quickly to wash up and warm up."

Guan Fuqing hadn't lost his mind yet, but his face was stiff: "Okay."

Pei Qinyu glanced at the eunuch and maid standing by with a warning look in her eyes, and said to Gu Yunyan: "Yan'er, you should stay in Guan Mansion for a while first."

"Wait until I go back and talk to my parents, then I'll take you home to meet them."

He didn't want his beloved wife to be disliked by his mother and father, and to suffer their anger for no reason.

This was agreed upon early on.

Gu Yunyan had no reason to disagree, so she said, "Don't make me wait too long, take me home early."

"I will."

Pei Qinyu had a gentle smile on her face, and as she watched them leave, her expression suddenly turned cold.

The expression changed so quickly that the eunuchs and the maids were dumbfounded and shocked.

Oh my god, when have they ever seen the prince like this? He was so gentle to a woman, even the queen and the emperor didn't treat him like this.

"Let's go." Pei Qinyu's voice returned to normal, without a trace of emotion in it.

The eunuch and the nanny breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right, this is the Crown Prince they know. Maybe it was because the weather was too cold and the wind and sand made his eyes narrow, so they saw it wrong.

......

Inside the magnificent palace, the queen, sitting on the phoenix throne, had red eyes.

Tears glistened in her eyes, and without waiting for anyone to come closer, she stood up and said, "Child, if you are fine, why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't you know how sad your mother and your father are?"

Pei Qinyu still didn't show much expression, but her look was much more relaxed.

"Mother, I am sorry to have caused you and father so much worry. I am an unfilial son. I know I am wrong, but please punish me."

Before he finished speaking, he lifted up the corner of his robe and pretended to kneel down.

The queen grabbed his arm and pulled him up: "Why are you kneeling? If you are fine, that is the greatest filial piety to us."

"Besides, you have made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time. You should not be punished but rewarded."

"You wiped out the Water Dragon Gang in one fell swoop. Everyone in the court was delighted. Your father was also pleased. When you were on the road, he said he would carefully choose a reward for you."

"You are excellent in everything, and this time you have eliminated one of his worries. He thinks you are not worthy of him in this or that, and he is still picking on you."

Pei Qinyu's eyes flashed, and her heart moved: "Mother, can I choose the reward myself?"
