Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

At this special wedding, no one was happy except Liu Bailian who got what she wished for. Even the servants of Yingwu Marquis Mansion had expressionless faces.

They knew the deep affection of the Marquis for his wife, and the infatuation of the Crown Prince and Miss Ye.

They felt sorry for the Marquis and the Crown Prince.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion felt sorry for Miss Ye and hated Liu Bailian.

On the wedding night, Ye Xiaoli helped the Marquis to the bed and carefully covered him with a quilt. Noticing the Marquis's guilty look, Ye Xiaoli felt even more guilty than him.

"Father, can I call you father? Although we are husband and wife in name only, in my heart, you are the father of my brother Dongxu and me, and the husband of my aunt alone. Sooner or later, we will have the opportunity to divorce, father, you must wait and see."

Ye Xiaoli knelt under Gu Xiong's bed. Gu Xiong shed a turbid tear, nodded slightly, and looked relieved.

Ye Xiaoli wiped his face with a wet handkerchief. She gently wrapped a thin string with a bell around Gu Xiong's wrist and said, "Father, if you feel uncomfortable at night, remember to call me. Don't endure it yourself."

Seeing Gu Xiong nod slightly again, she walked behind the screen and lay back on the long chaise longue properly.

I stared at the bright moon outside the window with empty eyes, my mind wandering.

Gu Dongxu returned to the new house and didn't even look at Liu Bailian who was covered with a big red veil. He directly rolled up a quilt from the cabinet and slept on the floor.

When Liu Bailian heard the noise, she was shyly waiting for Gu Dongxu to lift her veil and drink the wedding wine with her, but she just heard the cabinet make a noise and there was no other movement.

She could not wait to quietly lift a corner of her veil and found Gu Dongxu already lying on the ground, fully clothed and asleep. She was immediately furious and strode up to him: "Gu Dongxu, what do you mean by this? Our marriage was granted by the Emperor, are you trying to disobey his order?"

Gu Dongxu turned over and ignored her.

"Gu Dongxu!" Liu Bailian was so angry that she tried to lift Gu Dongxu's quilt.

His wrist was grabbed midway, and Gu Dongxu's eyes were cold: "What do you want?"

Liu Bailian felt the other party's unparalleled strength, her face flushed, and she deliberately said: "Come with me and sleep on the bed. If Yuanpa doesn't bleed tomorrow, my mother-in-law will laugh at me!"

Gu Dongxu was stunned for a moment before he realized who the mother-in-law she was talking about was. He threw Liu Bailian's hand away and said with disgust, "You are so disgusting, get out!"

Liu Bailian was furious, her eyes glaring unkindly. "You spoke so coldly to me. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will think you're dissatisfied with the marriage he's granted, which would make the situation at the Yingwu Marquisate even worse?"

Gu Dongxu closed his eyes: "The emperor controls the heavens and the earth, but he can't control my hidden illness and inhumanity. If you want to complain, I will publicize my hidden illness."

"You...!" Liu Bailian was so angry that she was fuming.

She didn't expect that Gu Dongxu was willing to defile himself in order to avoid touching her. She certainly didn't want Gu Dongxu to talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, others would not say that Gu Dongxu was losing face for her, but would only think that she, as a woman, had no appeal to her husband.

The only one who will be laughed at is herself.

Liu Bailian returned to the bed angrily, lying down with her back turned and sulking. She didn't notice that Gu Dongxu was also looking at the bright moon outside the window with a confused mind.

But as the night deepened and the world quieted down, their hearts gradually calmed down, and they closed their eyes in tacit understanding.

We are no different, we all look up at the same night sky when it gets dark.

-

When paying respects the next day, Gu Xiong did not come. Ye Xiaoli sat alone at the top. Liu Bailian knelt down to serve her tea. She pretended that she was loved too much last night and could not kneel steadily, causing a cup of hot tea to pour towards Ye Xiaoli.

Just as Ye Xiaoli was about to be scalded, a malicious smile of success flashed in Liu Bailian's eyes.

"what--"

At the critical moment, Gu Dongxu kicked Liu Bailian down with lightning speed, and the whole cup of hot tea spilled on Liu Bailian's chest.

No matter who he was, he couldn't bear to watch Ye Xiaoli get hurt.

"Ahhh——" Liu Bailian screamed while pulling at her clothes.

Gu Dongxu signaled to Liu Bailian's maid: "Take your young lady away quickly. This state is really immoral."

The maid was forced by Liu Bailian to take off her blouse, stuff it into her clothes, and ran away in embarrassment, covering her bulging breasts.

After that, it was Gu Xiong’s deceased eldest son, Gu Xizheng’s two children who came to pay their respects to Ye Xiaoli. The poor little couple’s mother remarried after Gu Xizheng’s death. Gu Xiong and Gu Dongxu were stationed at the border all year round, and they grew up with the loyal servants of the family.

In the previous life, Gu Dongxu went to war, and the power of the inner housekeeper fell into the hands of Liu Bailian. She first secretly had someone poison Gu Xiong, making him lose his decision-making ability, to prevent Gu Xiong from obstructing her from clearing out the slaves in Yingwu Marquis' Mansion.

After replacing all the people in the Marquis' Mansion, she found a way to kill Gu Ping and Gu An.

Ye Xiaoli touched the two children's heads as "gently" as possible. The tenderness in her smile when she lowered her eyes touched Gu Dongxu's heart, but he quickly looked away in panic.

Without being noticed by anyone.

Except Ye Xiaoli.

She didn't look at him, but he was all in her peripheral vision.

The two men avoided each other's glances and exchanged a few pretentious greetings. Gu Dongxu fled in the name of going to court.

Ye Xiaoli, as the marquis' wife, took over the housekeeping power with full legitimacy. The servants were also happy to see it happen, and no one tried to make things difficult for her. Ye Xiaoli felt like a fish in water.

Within a few days, the Marquis' Mansion was completely under her control.

Liu Bailian stayed indoors for several days and used the best ointment to heal the burns on her chest. When she realized all this, it was too late. The Marquis' Mansion had been integrated before, like an iron barrel, and now there was no loophole to be exploited and it was impenetrable.

She tried to act like a demon a few times, but Ye Xiaoli fought back fiercely every time. She had no choice but to lie dormant for the time being.

A few days later, Gu Dongxu was going to go to war with General Liu. Ye Xiaoli went with Gu Xiong to see him off, and Liu Bailian naturally went as well.

"Husband, I'll wait for you at home." Liu Bailian was about to cry.

Gu Dongxu did not respond, nodded to Gu Xiong, and rode away.

Two days later, Liu Bailian's mother, Mrs. Liu, strongly invited Ye Xiaoli to take Liu Bailian to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and pray for a child.

Ye Xiaoli knew that General Liu had left a group of men for her and her daughter, and she thought that Liu Bailian would definitely deal with her this time.

But Ye Xiaoli was well prepared. In terms of the number and quality of his subordinates, Gu Xiong was better than General Liu. It was just that their identities prevented them from interacting openly with the Marquis' Mansion.

She thought that no matter how Liu Bailian attacked her, she would be able to escape, but what she never expected was that Liu Bailian and her daughter were so bold that they actually wanted to bring her together with the emperor.

The emperor went to the Buddhist temple in white fish dragon clothes, but somehow he was poisoned by the drug and needed a woman to sacrifice herself to protect his body.
