Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 11: Coming for her
It was a dark night, and the breeze blew the big red lantern hanging in front of the door. A dim candle light was still on in the Green Bamboo Garden.
Song Wanyin was leaning over the desk, looking at a shiny dagger in his hand, on which was engraved a lifelike eagle head totem.
This dagger almost took her life, and also planted a deep hidden danger, leading to her tragic death.
The assassin is still at large. Gu Qingchen had previously gone out to investigate, but to no avail.
It seems that instead of asking others for help, it is better to rely on yourself.
If the assassin is not eliminated, she will be in dire straits with dangers lurking everywhere.
Tiancheng brought over a fox fur coat and gently draped it over her weak shoulders.
"Girl, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?
The doctor said that you need to rest and not stay up late or get tired. "
Song Wanyin frowned slightly, rubbed his brows wearily and said:
"Tiancheng, I've thought about it carefully, and there are many strange things about the assassination.
With Gu Qingchen's impetuous personality, it is impossible for him to let the assassin escape without pursuing the matter thoroughly.
I always feel that the assassin knows the whereabouts of everyone in the mansion.
Before I got injured, my mother-in-law and I went to burn incense and worship Buddha, keeping a low profile and not disturbing too many people.
The assassin seemed to have been lurking nearby for a long time on purpose, then stabbed forward with a knife.
At that time, I noticed that the assassin's eyes were always fixed on me, not on my mother-in-law.
Because there were two chances when the assassin could have directly harmed my mother-in-law, but he deliberately let them go.
But the assassin hit me directly in the vital points, and he was full of murderous intent, wanting to kill me.
I am certain that the assassin's target is not my mother-in-law, but me."
In her previous life, she was so angry at Gu Qingchen that she didn't analyze many details in depth.
Thinking about it now, it’s really terrifying.
Tian Cheng's pupils shrank, and he couldn't speak smoothly:
"Miss, in your opinion, the assassin was targeting you?
But girl, you hardly ever leave the house, so how could you make enemies with others?"
Song Wanyin couldn't help but recall the time when she had just regained consciousness and heard the conversation between Gu Qingchen and the doctor.
Gu Qingchen deliberately concealed the fact that she was injured and would not live long from himself and the entire Gu family.
Could it be that the mastermind behind the murder was Gu Qingchen?
However, this speculation was quickly overturned by her. No matter how stupid Gu Qingchen was, he would never let himself be in the spotlight.
After all, for his career prospects, Gu Qingchen still has to rely on the remaining power of the Taiwei Mansion.
He did not dare to act rashly towards her until he had seized all her dowry.
It is enough to show that there is someone else behind the scenes.
Song Wanyin felt a dull pain in her head, the scene of the assassination was still vivid in her mind.
"Sweet Orange, I saw the assassin's eyes and they looked very familiar to me, as if I had seen them somewhere before.
Tomorrow, go find Master Biao again, give him this dagger, and ask him to help find out where the totem on it came from?"
Tiancheng immediately put the dagger into the small box, and just as she put it away, the door was pushed open.
Gu Qingchen's face was gloomy, and he was wearing a deep blue brocade robe with a few flakes of frost and snow on it, and a cold air filled the bedroom.
The candle on the table flickered, reflecting Song Wanyin's deep eyes and covering up his sharpness.
"Gu Qingchen, if you are here to quarrel, please leave."
Gu Qingchen glared at Tiancheng and said coldly:
"Tian Cheng, go down first, I have something to say to your master alone.
You are not allowed to come in without my order."
Tiancheng looked at Song Wanyin worriedly, and only after she nodded did she retreat uneasily.
After the door was closed, Gu Qingchen said angrily:
"Song Wanyin, how long are you going to make trouble?
My mother was so angry at you that she fainted, and Lan Yue almost had a miscarriage.
You've caused chaos in the mansion, and there's no peace. What good will that do you? "
Song Wanyin said calmly:
"Gu Qingchen, you come to see me so late.
Have you found the matchmaker? Will you divorce me tomorrow?"
Gu Qingchen was about to speak, but thought of his mother's instructions, gritted his teeth and said:
"Song Wanyin, just now in the main hall, if you hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have said those angry words.
I promised your parents that I would never divorce you in this life.
As long as you treat Lanyue well, I will never treat you unfairly.
Aren't you just jealous of Dai Lanyue and want a child too?
Then I can help you get pregnant with a child, so you will have someone to rely on in the future."
Song Wanyin sneered:
"Gu Qingchen, you overestimate yourself.
I see that it’s not that you don’t want to divorce me, but that you don’t dare to divorce me.
Don't forget, if my family hadn't protected you, my father would have been your mentor.
You will never become the general of the garrison army.
In your career path, you will need me to spend money to help you everywhere.
It is also because of the support of my father's former subordinates in the court that your career has been smooth and you have successfully reached where you are today.
Not only are you not grateful, you are also attracting other men out there and even shamelessly say you want to divorce me.
If this matter gets out, you will be embarrassed or I will be gossiped about.
Also, I don’t rely on my children to live my life. I also have my own dreams and things I want to do.
Don't think you can use the child and the title of mistress to imprison me."
Gu Qingchen dared not speak out of anger, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times:
"Song Wanyin, don't always use this matter to pressure me.
Although I am where I am today thanks to your Song family, I have also made you the mistress of the family. Don’t you think that’s not enough?
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Even if you appeal to His Majesty, His Majesty cannot interfere in matters of the heart.
We will discuss this in detail after you recover from your injury."
When he talked about the latter part, it was obvious that he lacked confidence and had an attitude of taking advantage of others.
Song Wanyin turned to look at the vast expanse of white outside the window, and her heart grew cold.
It seems that the Gu family has no intention of letting her go, which means that she still has some value.
If the last bit of value was squeezed out of her, she would be like a tattered rag and be kicked out of the Gu family.
The Gu family never dreamed that she would no longer be the submissive little lamb.
Song Wanyin's voice was very light, but one could feel its powerful deterrent force.
"Gu Qingchen, the more arrogant you are now, the more humble you will be when you come to beg me later."
Gu Qingchen saw that she was really crazy and didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he slammed the door and left.
The frost and snow in front of the yard left a long trail of footprints, like countless branding irons, deeply imprinted in Song Wanyin's heart.
Every footprint is the trauma that Gu Qingchen brought to himself.
The only way to heal is to address the source.
Gu Qingchen took advantage of the twilight and came to Dingxiang Garden to visit Jiang Lanyue.
"Lanyue, is the baby in your belly okay?"
When Jiang Lanyue saw him coming, she immediately stood up to greet him, threw herself into his arms, and said pitifully:
"Brother Qingchen, it's all my fault. I made my sister angry and caused the lady to faint.
If my sister is still not satisfied, I will come to your house and apologize.
But, but today I have lost my face, dignity, and innocence in front of my servants.
I don't have the face to go back and see my parents. I really don't want to live anymore."
Seeing that she was about to break into pieces from crying, Gu Qingchen said distressedly:
"Lan Yue, I know I have wronged you.
I had been planning to divorce this jealous woman and help you get revenge.
However, things have changed, I am afraid you will have to be patient for a while. "
