Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

Chapter 10 Love Rival Becomes Mother-in-law

This book tells the story of Liu Cailian, the legitimate daughter of a general, who likes Gu Dongxu, the son of Marquis Yingwu.

As a result, Gu Dongxu and Ye Xiaoli, the daughter of the Prime Minister, fell in love with each other.

Liu Cailian followed Gu Dongxu and acted as a bootlicker for three years, but still couldn't shake Gu Dongxu's determination to be with Ye Xiaoli, so they got married.

Liu Cailian had no place to vent her anger.

——Since I can’t be your bride, I will be your bride.

So, with this in mind, Liu Cailian simply seduced Gu Dongxu's 42-year-old biological father Gu Ba.

After Liu Cailian married into the Yingwu Marquis Mansion, she set rules for Ye Xiaoli every day, and she did whatever she wanted and was too arrogant and domineering. Gu Ba doted on his little wife and indulged in all her behavior.

Out of filial piety, Gu Dongxu could only let Ye Xiaoli endure it.

Gradually, Liu Cailian fell in love with Gu Ba, the male protagonist of the book, and gave birth to a son for him.

Gu Dongxu realized later that he had already fallen in love with the bright and lively Liu Cailian, but it was too late to regret.

One wrong step leads to another, and they can never be together again.

In the end, in order not to reveal his thoughts, Gu Dongxu took the initiative to resign from the position of prince, and planned to take the crying Ye Xiaoli to a remote town to serve as a county magistrate.

I'm not planning on coming back for the rest of my life.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, Gu Dongxu and his wife encountered robbers and both died at the hands of the robbers. This was because Gu Ba saw through the unspeakable feelings of his rebellious son towards his wife and deliberately sent someone to do it.

Gu Ba has loved Liu Bailian to the core and will not allow anyone else to covet her. Even if it is his own son, he must die!

When Liu Cailian learned of Gu Dongxu's death, she was sad for a few days, but when she looked at her lovely son in her arms, she gradually felt relieved.

At the end of the story, Gu Ba and Liu Cailian lived happily together.

——However, this was just Liu Cailian’s dying fantasy.

The actual situation was completely different from what she had imagined.

-

One month after Ye Xiaoli and Gu Dongxu's wedding, at a royal banquet, Liu Cailian directed and acted out a plan to sleep with Yingwu Hou Gu Ba.

This was a scandal, and it happened at the Empress Dowager's Thousand Years Banquet. The Emperor, who valued filial piety, was furious and had Gu Ba beaten with eighty boards. In order to save his daughter, General Liu took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman.

The emperor, still angry, granted the two of them a marriage.

"Husband, you are so great!" On the carriage back home, Ye Xiaoli hugged Gu Dongxu and kissed him hard.

Gu Dongxu narrowed his eyes and enjoyed his wife's enthusiasm.

What was he thinking of? A ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. Tonight, Liu Bailian had planned to make his wife lose her virginity, thinking that he would divorce her afterwards. However, his father Gu Ba was bewitched by Liu Bailian's beauty and actually agreed to her sinister plan.

Liu Bailian has already plotted against his wife before she even gets married. Once she gets married, won't he bully Xiaoli to death?

So Gu Dongxu used the same trick to trick his father and Liu Bailian. When the palace servants were beating his father with sticks, he deliberately bribed the people who were beating his father and asked them to beat him severely.

All of this naturally did not escape the emperor's eyes, but the emperor was happy to see it happen and even helped him secretly.

Who made the emperor feel dissatisfied with the General's Mansion's control of military power?

The Emperor and Gu Dongxu grew up together. The Empress Dowager is not his biological mother, and the late Emperor was not kind to him. They both have the same "loving father/mother and filial son" style and are close friends.

My biological father Gu Ba will never recover unless he stays in bed for three months.

And even if he recovered, he would not be able to act like a demon again, because Gu Dongxu had prepared another big gift for him, hoping that he would not cry with joy when he received the gift.

There's no need to tell the innocent little carp about this, Gu Dongxu thought to himself.

Therefore, Ye Xiaoli only knew that Liu Bailian wanted to harm her tonight, her father-in-law Yingwu Hou condoned her, and her husband helped her teach the two of them a lesson.

Gu Dongxu held Ye Xiaoli, whose eyes were full of stars, in his arms. He bit her earlobe unexpectedly and whispered ambiguously, "Since you know how good your husband is, you must serve him well tonight!"

Ye Xiaoli nestled in his arms, her little face red as if blood was about to drip out, but she still nodded obediently, her voice sweet and sticky: "I will listen to my husband."

Gu Dongxu loved the look of his young wife so much that he blocked her lips without saying anything.

"Um—husband, no..."

"Dear, have pity on your husband. He was scared today and needs a pat on the head. Is it okay if it's just the head...? You little stinky carp, from today on, I'll give you the nickname Hehe?"

-

Another month later, Liu Cailian married Yingwu Hou. Because Gu Ba was seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, Liu Cailian married Gongji and took care of Gu Ba all night.

The next day, when Ye Xiaoli went with Gu Dongxu to pay her respects, although she acted pretentiously, she could not hide her haggardness.

Gu Dongxu and Ye Xiaoli served her tea according to the rules and called her Madam. She frowned in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do. Gu Ba was in poor health, and the Marquis' Mansion was controlled by Gu Dongxu, so there was no one to support her.

But she could still order Ye Xiaoli around.

She asked Ye Xiaoli to stand and help her serve the dishes.

"Madam, Xiaoli is already one month pregnant. Can you exempt her from the etiquette and the greetings?" Gu Dongxu pulled Ye Xiaoli, preventing her from standing up, and pleaded with Liu Cailian, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Liu Bailian felt very pleased and flatly refused: "That won't do. I took care of your father all night yesterday. I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I wanted my daughter-in-law to help me with the dishes, but she didn't even satisfy me. If this gets out, I am afraid that the daughter of the Prime Minister will be known as an unfilial daughter."

Ye Xiaoli stood up and said humbly, "Since Madam has given the order, your daughter-in-law will help Madam serve the dishes."

A smug smile appeared on Liu Bailian's lips.

But as soon as Ye Xiaoli stood up, he felt dizzy and passed out. Gu Dongxu nervously caught him in his arms.

Her maid received Gu Dongxu's signal and cried out in alarm, "Oh no! Call a doctor! As soon as the Madam came into the mansion, she complained about being tired of taking care of Duke Ying. She still has feelings for the Crown Prince, who has become her son. She is trying to torture her daughter-in-law and want her to have a miscarriage. With such a vicious woman hanging over your head, what are you going to do in the future, young lady? Sob…"

The maid's words spread throughout the capital in an instant. In addition, Ye Xiaoli was still unconscious. Gu Dongxu rode his horse into the palace with red eyes and asked the emperor to make a decision for him.

"The General's Mansion is too much of a bully. They allowed their daughter to maliciously oppress my humble wife. Poor her, she was pregnant. That vicious woman almost caused my humble wife to have a miscarriage on the first day she entered the mansion!"

Not long after, General Liu, who heard the news, also went to the Yingwu Marquis's Mansion and brought Liu Bailian into the palace to meet the emperor.

Gu Dongxu glared at her with hatred in his eyes.

"I didn't!" Liu Bailian said aggrievedly, "I was just like any other mother-in-law, trying to set some rules for her!"

"Shut up!" General Liu scolded Liu Bailian, "The prince is not your biological son, what kind of rules are you setting?"

Gu Dongxu sneered in his heart, his eyes red as he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although I am not your biological daughter, she has already married my father. Naturally, my wife and I will treat her as our mother and be filial to her."

"But my wife is pregnant. She's not feeling well and the fetus is unstable. I've already informed Madam, but Madam insists on having her own way and insists on imposing rules on my wife. Even if my biological mother were still alive, I absolutely cannot tolerate her abusing my wife so viciously."

"I hope the Emperor will help me! When I arrived, my wife was still unconscious!"

Liu Bailian was so angry when she heard Gu Dongxu scold her for being vicious that she lost her mind: "I just asked her to set up some dishes, and she fainted as soon as she stood up. She is so weak that she looks like a short-lived ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell in the hall.

General Liu closed his eyes in despair. Liu Bailian realized it belatedly and became frightened, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Everyone knows that the emperor's biological mother died shortly after giving birth to him. He was an unlucky "short-lived ghost".

The last person who said this was the elder sister of the emperor's mother. The enraged emperor stripped her pants in public and gave her forty lashes with the cane. She committed suicide on the same day she was beaten.

Her children's reputation was ruined because of her, and they lived a life worse than the servants in the mansion.

The early death of his biological mother is an eternal pain in the emperor's heart and his Achilles' heel.

As expected, the Emperor's clear and sharp voice echoed from above: "Liu was promiscuous before marriage and treated her daughter-in-law harshly after marriage. She has sinister intentions, is deceitful and hateful, and is as vicious as a snake. Since you are not capable of being the mistress of the Yingwu Marquis's mansion, you should just be content to be his concubine. That way, you won't have to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Dongxu kowtowed to express his gratitude, and Liu Bailian's mind went blank.

Just one day after getting married, she was demoted to a concubine! The emperor's words were irreconcilable. She would be a concubine for the rest of her life!

Her eyes went dark, she couldn't accept the reality and fainted.

After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Dongxu rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion. Liu Bailian was also sent back in a daze by General Liu.

"Husband, I love you so much!" Ye Xiaoli, who was pretending to be sick at home, was overjoyed when she heard that Liu Bailian was demoted to a concubine.

Originally, when she married Gu Dongxu, there was no mother-in-law in her family, and her life was so comfortable. But Liu Bailian did not follow the usual path and intervened to become her mother-in-law.

Now you are fine, your husband has taken care of you, right?

Gu Dongxu kissed Ye Xiaoli lovingly: "As long as I'm here, no one can bully Xiaoli."

"Husband~" Ye Xiaoli was deeply moved.

Liu Bailian was demoted to a concubine. When the news reached Gu Ba in Yingwu Marquis' Mansion, he had the unconscious Liu Bailian tied up. He insisted on standing up from the bed and beat her severely.

Wake up Liu Bailian.

"Husband, your son bullied me." Liu Bailian's first reaction when she saw Gu Ba was to cry. Seeing Gu Ba's indifferent face, she realized her situation. She struggled but couldn't move. "Husband, what are you doing?"

"Husband?" Gu Ba sneered, "You are my concubine now, you should call me Marquis!"

He whipped Liu Bailian with a whip, "Did you hear that clearly?"

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Liu Bailian cried.

"Call me Marquis!"

"My Lord! My Lord, what's wrong with you? Why are you hitting me?"

"Hmph!" Gu Bacai was in no mood to clear up Liu Bailian's confusion. Ever since he was beaten with eighty boards in the palace that day, he found himself in a state of exhaustion when he returned.

This morning I heard that Liu Bailian was tired after taking care of me all night, and she was in the mood to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law at the dinner table. Isn't she still thinking about her son?

This wanton woman!

If it were in the past, Liu Bailian had Gu Dongxu in her heart, and Gu Ba might not care, thinking that women can be subdued by shui, but now he can't do that anymore, and he is feeling inferior. As a result, his newly married wife, the culprit who caused him to fall into such a situation, is still thinking about his young and strong son.

He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Bailian, who became his concubine, became his target of venting his anger. He was a tyrannical man. When he was in a good mood, he was like a human being. When he was in a bad mood, he would beat people to death without paying for it.

Gu Dongxu's mother was beaten to death by Gu Ba.

-

"Husband, when will we arrive?" Ye Xiaoli asked while sitting in the carriage.

Three months later, the fetus in Ye Xiaoli's belly was stable, and Gu Dongxu decided to take her to a remote place to serve as an official, just to gain some experience, and come back in a year or two.

It’s just the right time to avoid the troubles in the Marquis’ Mansion.

"It takes five days to travel by land and water." Gu Dongxu replied patiently.

-

"Xiao Li, we are going back to Beijing!"

A year later, Gu Dongxu received news that Liu Bailian could no longer bear Gu Ba's beating, so she took the opportunity to lock Gu Ba and her in the house and set it on fire.

Both were burned to death.

Of course, the people Gu Dongxu left in the Marquis' Mansion also added fuel to the fire.

They should have returned anyway, as they didn't want their wives to encounter those nasty people and things again.

Just solve them all.

-

In the fire, Liu Bailian was unwilling to give up, and had a beautiful dream before her death.
