Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

After she left, the door slammed.

Gu Yichuan staggered two steps in a daze. He didn't even dare to turn around and look into Shen Nankui's eyes.

After a while, Shen Nankui sighed faintly in the room, "I heard it all."

Gu Yichuan walked up to her in silence, "I will never let anyone hurt you and the child."

Shen Nankui stroked her lower abdomen with a trace of sadness in her eyes. This was her own flesh and blood, her only blood relative in this world, and she would not allow anyone to hurt her child.

Can……

How innocent are Ayuan and Aqiao?

They were clever and well-behaved siblings who had brought her countless joys. If she forced Gu Yichuan to choose the fetus in her belly, what would happen to the two little ones?

The brother and sister were just innocent children. How could they withstand the ruthless methods of Princess Yongjia?

If something happened to Ayuan and Aqiao, how would she face Liang and Gu Qingrong when she returned?

After all, there was only an unborn fetus in her belly, while Ayuan and Aqiao were two living lives...

But it was absolutely impossible for her to give up her child.

It's not just her mother's instinct, but also... Apart from Gu Yichuan, she has no other relatives in this world. The child in her belly is the only one who is connected to her by blood. She died lonely in her previous life, and was blessed in this life to have this child. How could she bear to give him up?

She can't do it!

She wants to protect this child.

Gu Yichuan seemed to know her concerns. He leaned over and placed his hand on the back of her hand, and said softly, "Nan Kui, this child is just as important to me. This is our flesh and blood. Even if I die, I will protect you and your child."

"What about Ayuan and Aqiao?" Shen Nankui said in a sad tone.

"There is always a way out," Gu Yichuan said with a firm look, "I will definitely think of other ways."

"I hope so."

Gu Yichuan turned sideways and said slowly, "Nan Kui, you are pregnant and tired after working for so long, why don't you lie down and rest for a while? I will call you when Zhong Shan comes to deliver dinner."

Shen Nankui was not actually tired, but seeing that he looked worried, she agreed.

She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, thinking about how to deal with the situation. Should she let Zhongshan go out to deliver the letter?

It doesn't seem to work.

She has already sent letters to those who should be informed, but since even His Majesty has not dealt with the matter, how can others dare to step forward?

What's more, the Jianning Marquisate and the Shen family spoke up for her only for their own benefit. Who else could she count on?

If there is anyone who can help me in this matter, Cai Ling is one of them.

Although he has a rebellious temperament, he has the chivalrous spirit and kindness of a man of the world. He values ​​righteousness the most in his life. Since he has recognized this old friend of his, if someone comes to him for help, he will do his best to help.

However, Cai Ling hated dealing with government officials the most, especially this time he was facing Princess Yongjia and Prince Jing's Mansion. He had already experienced a disaster in his previous life, so how could he drag him into this muddy water again?

Shen Nankui sighed inwardly, feeling that there was no solution.

Soon, the door opened.

Ge Da came in with a tray and put the food on the table, "Let's eat."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Gu Yichuan frowned and asked, "Where is Zhongshan?"

Ge Da snorted coldly, "The princess said that you two are full of tricks, so she told you to try to avoid seeing people. Naturally, the servant is not allowed to enter the room."

"Oh?"

Gu Yichuan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of coldness on his face, "Zhongshan is a servant of my family. Hero Ge didn't let him in. Could it be that he wants to serve me personally?"

"The food has been delivered to you, what else do you want?"

Gu Yichuan looked proud, "I haven't been out for a walk today, and my muscles and bones are aching. I wanted to ask Zhong Shan to come and give me a massage, but since he can't come in, I'll trouble Hero Ge to do it for me."

Ge Da glared and said, "How dare you, a prisoner, be so arrogant?"

"Prisoner?"

Gu Yichuan stared at him coldly, "Master Ge, please be careful with your words. Although I don't have a real job yet, I am also the new top scholar and the emperor's disciple. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to call me a prisoner. Besides, your princess is in love with me. If I change my mind, I will be your master's husband. Have you considered the consequences of offending me?"

What he said was true. Ge Da's expression changed, but he finally walked towards him.

"Humph, I am a rough man with strong hands, so please be patient, Mr.

Ge Da pressed his hands on Gu Yichuan's shoulders, and the hidden power in his palms seemed to crush all his bones.

Gu Yichuan gritted his teeth and endured it, sneering and saying, "Master Ge, you have all the strength in your body, just use it. I'm worried that I don't have any leverage over Princess Yongjia. With your help, things will be much simpler."

Ge Daxin was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

The princess had instructed that they could not be touched for the time being. I was provoked by him and almost got into trouble. If Gu Yichuan really blamed the princess for his injuries, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape punishment either.

Seeing that he stopped moving, Gu Yichuan was very dissatisfied, "Did I tell you to stop?"

Ge Da glared at him hatefully, but had to continue.

Gu Yichuan was like a picky nobleman, sometimes complaining that it was too heavy, sometimes complaining that it was too light. Ge Da's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death.

He was dealing with Gu Yichuan impatiently, but he didn't notice that a figure was quietly approaching him from behind.

Shen Nankui, wearing only socks, stepped lightly on the ground and came behind Ge Da with light steps. Suddenly, she pulled out the knife that Ge Da had placed on the table and put it on his neck. Gu Yichuan also turned around instantly and covered his mouth with his quick eyes and hands.

There was shock in Ge Da's eyes. Wasn't this woman sleeping the whole time? Was she pretending to sleep?

He felt hatred and regret.

It was all his fault that he was so annoyed by Gu Yichuan that he didn't even notice someone approaching him!

When he saw that it was Shen Nankui holding the knife, he had an idea and was about to try to take the weapon when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck. The blade had already penetrated into the flesh and warm blood seeped down along the collar.

"If you don't want to die, don't move." Shen Nankui's eyes were cold.

The knife was made of fine steel and weighed dozens of pounds. She was obviously struggling to hold the knife with both hands, but her eyes were extremely cold, as if she would really cut her neck mercilessly if she moved again.

Ge Da was shocked and really stopped.

Gu Yichuan also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly cover his mouth with cloth, and then found a rope to tie him up tightly.

Only then did Shen Nankui put down the knife and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The couple looked at each other, slowed down a little, and then started to act again.

"Master Ge really has a talent for serving others. If he is trained, he will surely become a good and satisfactory servant!"

When Ge Er, who was outside the door, heard this, he couldn't help but get angry.

He was already resentful about Gu Yichuan ordering his eldest brother to give him massages, and now hearing him compare them to slaves, a surge of anger rushed from the feet to the top of his head, and he really couldn't help it!

The door was kicked open with a bang.

"Fuck you slaves, your whole family is slaves!"
