Marrying Gold and Jade

"And the mother Gu is in my body."

He just spoke the truth in such a nonchalant and casual tone.

The badness was so blatant that Lin Yu simply couldn't adapt to it.

She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. She had clearly guessed it a long time ago, but when she heard him say it with her own ears, she still couldn't help but want to slap him.

Or maybe he was directly infected by him. Lin Yu asked: "How to cure it?"

She was not surprised at all, which made Xu Jinxuan narrow his phoenix eyes.

Tell her the truth: "Give birth to a child of mine."

"You bastard!"

Lin Yu couldn't bear it any longer and punched him on the shoulder.

The force was quite strong, and there were scratches on it from her nails. The man almost groaned when he was hit.

"Don't want to have a baby? Then don't solve it."

If you try to reason with him, you will always be the one who gets frustrated. Lin Yu knows this well.

But after hearing such a desperate way to cure the poison, she would rather the man didn't tell the truth.

"You lied to me, didn't you?" He couldn't help choking up when he spoke again. "You knew I would care about my child very much, but you said that on purpose to tie me down."

She began to think that this must be the case. That day he told her that if a woman made Gu, it would backfire on her child, so she gave up.

So he knew that children were something he would not sacrifice.

"Xu Jinxuan, you are so despicable."

Xu Jinxuan stared at her for a moment.

He then put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went to look in the bookshelf.

Soon his slender knuckles paused, and he took out a case of Gu and threw it in front of Lin Yu.

"If you don't believe it, see for yourself."

Lin Yu's first reaction was that this was a very old book. The pages were smooth but thin and yellowed, and the ink also looked quite old.

She quickly found the records related to the love Gu, which were very detailed. She skipped over the lengthy refining process and did see a method to cure the Gu: the mother and child Gu combined with the host, and the Gu poison dissipated when the newborn was born.

She tried hard to find some special cases, but there were no other solutions in the cases recorded later.

Xu Jinxuan looked at her calmly, and even handed her a handkerchief when she was crying hard, and said, "I was the one who cast the Gu, so I'm giving you a choice. It's up to you to decide whether to remove it or not."

"Who asked you to pretend to be magnanimous?"

Later, Lin Yu scolded him several more times, each word more unpleasant than the last, but Xu Jinxuan did not react much.

He only disliked her lifeless look. At other times, even if she cursed at him in an unseemly manner, the man did not intend to stop her.

For a moment, Lin Yu wanted to die with him.

It wasn't enough that I killed her in my last life; now she wants to play with me in this life.

But then she thought it wasn't possible. How many times can one come back to life from the dead? She had finally survived, so how could she die just to take revenge on him?

Yes, Lin Yu said to herself, "My life is more precious than Xu Jinxuan's."

Even though he was born into a noble family and she herself came from a merchant family, Lin Yu could say with certainty that her life was more valuable than his.

Xu Jinxuan had to admit that she was stronger than he thought.

Even though she still looked delicate and weak, she quickly recovered after the collapse that day.

She even knew that she needed him and stopped asking to sleep in a separate room.

Of course Xu Jinxuan also knew that this did not mean that she was surrendering. She was simply doing what was best for herself.

Moreover, his temper got worse. He would scold her if she was not satisfied. Sometimes he made her so angry that she would not beg for mercy. He would not recognize her after she got off the bed.

It's really hard to tame.

But Xu Jinxuan was still satisfied. He thought that even if such a little thing married him, she would not give in.

I think I have a good eye for talent. With her by my side in the future, it will definitely not be boring.

Lin Yu also discovered that the way he was treated was different from the way he treated others.

The closer I get to him, the more I want to erect every thorn in my body and prick him until he bleeds.

But gradually, I had to accept the fact: Xu Jinxuan liked the thorns on his body.

The more angry she was and the more she resisted, the more satisfied he was.

Crazy, how can there be such a person in the world?

Lin Yu was at a loss for many days, but had no choice but to continue living by his side.

She would occasionally think of her home, the peaceful and ordinary days of the past, her mother, Lin Ji, and Ming Yuan.

As I was thinking, the boat docked.

Someone outside the house said that the palace's guards were waiting on the shore.

Lin Yu immediately turned to look at the man next to her. Although he was not of her same identity, her heart was in her throat.

But Xu Jinxuan didn't react much. He said nothing and just took her out.

It had been more than ten days since the last time he went ashore. Seeing the two solemn teams of palace servants and the gorgeously decorated sedan chairs on the shore, Lin Yu didn't dare to breathe.

The leader bowed and Lin Yu was secretly surprised again.

It turned out to be Shen Lian’s adoptive father, the Grand Tutor Shen whom he had met at the wedding banquet that day.

He said that he was entrusted by His Majesty to pick up Xu Jinxuan.

There was an old eunuch standing by with a smile on his face, who stretched out his arm to invite him up.

Lin Yu thought he would sit in the sedan chair, and began to worry about what he should do. Do these people know who he is? Should he sit in the sedan chair with Xu Jinxuan, or just leave first and settle himself outside the palace.

However, Xu Jinxuan just glanced coldly at the grand ceremony.

Take her hand and move forward as you please.

Lin Yu didn't react either. He walked two meters and turned back to look at the person behind him.

The eunuch looked surprised and seemed to want to step forward to dissuade him, but was stopped by Master Shen.

Not long after, the two columns of ceremonial guards set off, and the empty sedan chair was lifted up and followed behind the two men in a grand procession.

The road was not empty, and the people had not been cleared out. They were all looking at this slightly strange team.

A man and a woman walked in front, with a guard of honor following behind them.

"Xu Jinxuan..."

Lin Yu never expected that his first day in Kyoto would be like this, being watched by so many people like a parade.

But the man who was holding her seemed to be unaware and asked her, "Are you tired?"

I am tired, but my heart is even more tired.

Xu Jinxuan quickly added: "If you are tired, go and take the sedan chair."

He was determined to leave alone, Lin Yu could hear it.

But those were the ceremonial carriage and sedan chair prepared for the prince, and Lin Yu knew that he couldn't sit in them.

Without responding, Xu Jinxuan suddenly stopped.

A large group of people behind him also stopped one after another.

The eunuch hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you tired? We are still several miles away from the palace. Why don't you take a ride..."

Before he could finish, Xu Jinxuan pulled someone forward.

Lin Yu thought he was going to pull her up to sit with him, but unexpectedly her body became lighter and only she was carried up.

"Xu Jinxuan!" She didn't dare to make a noise in such an occasion, and her low voice was full of disbelief.

The man's expression was playful, yet a little different from when he usually teased himself.

He immediately stepped out of the sedan chair and said to everyone in astonishment, "Let's go."
