But what can I say after seeing her?

Wen Shubai smiled bitterly, thinking of what his father and concubine had told him before he came to the Gu family, that he should be magnanimous and not cause trouble for his wife.

He suddenly remembered that since he married into the Gu family, he seemed to have never called her wife.

At first, I hated her.

He hated her rudeness and disrespect. Even though he clearly didn't like her, she insisted on relying on General Gu's military achievements to bring General Gu to the Queen Mother to ask for his hand in marriage.

He hated Gu Qingyuan, and hated her getting close to him even more. Every time he thought of her, he would feel nauseous and would not let her touch a single hair on his head.

But ever since she drugged herself that night and drank it by mistake, she has become different.

She didn't know if she had figured it out or what, but suddenly she stopped pestering him like before.

Later, he even brought Lu Rui and the young master of the Qi family home.

There was a dull pain somewhere in his heart, sadness appeared on his face, and he sat down on the stool almost powerlessly.

He could still see the swing she designed in the yard, but they hadn't sat on it together yet.

Seeing Wen Shubai's distraught look, Yu Shui was a little worried and asked him, "Master, are you okay?"

Wen Shubai did not answer, his eyes were empty.

The whole person was like a beautiful doll without a soul, and his face was lifeless.

Suddenly, he stood up again and looked at Yu Shui. Yu Shui was startled by his action and saw his master asked him firmly: "Yu Shui, you said that they actually care about me, right? I pushed her away. What if, what if I can change?"

Yu Shui was immediately relieved and said, "Master, you finally figured it out! As long as you take action, the young master will definitely be conquered by your charm!"

Wen Shubai was finally amused by his words, and his mood was not as bad as before. He walked back inside and told Yu Shui: "Go get the pearl powder that the Queen Mother gave me. I need to apply it on my face."

Gu Qingyuan liked his face the most. He thought, if he could clean himself up, maybe she would like him as before?

When Yu Shui heard his instructions, she quickly went to get the pearl powder.

……

Ji Mingzhao followed Xia Zhi nervously to General Gu's courtyard.

To be honest, he had not seen General Gu very often. She had a murderous aura about her because she had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, which made people feel scared.

Ji Mingzhao was timid to begin with, and he was afraid that General Gu would come to him to force him to have an abortion, so he became even more frightened and his face turned pale.

He even broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was in his throat, as if it was about to jump out.

After seeing Ji Mingzhao, General Gu asked him to sit down.

Ji Mingzhao quickly shook his head and said, "I...I'll just stand."

"You've been walking with Xia Zhi for so long, aren't you tired? And you're pregnant now, so you should sit down and have a good rest."

Ji Mingzhao pinched the corner of his clothes, not daring to look up at General Gu. When he heard her ask him to sit down again, he did not refuse and sat down on the bench next to him.

Seeing Ji Mingzhao's timid look, General Gu spoke again: "You don't have to be afraid of me. I called you here because you are pregnant."

Sure enough, the thing I feared most came.

Ji Mingzhao lowered his head, waiting for General Gu's order to have someone give him an abortion drug.

He was filled with sorrow, child, Daddy might lose you...

However, the expected scene did not occur. General Gu asked him curiously, "How old is the baby in your belly now?"

She looked at Ji Mingzhao's belly, where a curve had already begun to appear.

"Reply, General Gu, it's been almost two months."

General Gu nodded and calculated.

The baby should be born in February or March next year.

Xia Zhi always had a cold face, even when he was teaching Gu Qingyuan martial arts. He only smiled when he saw Gu Qingyuan persevere and perform well.

Ji Mingzhao sat in the room, feeling frightened.

Although General Gu was a warrior, he was not completely ignorant. Seeing Ji Mingzhao's frightened look, she asked him, "Are you afraid of me?"

Ji Mingzhao quickly shook his head, "I was shocked by General Gu's aura."

Gu Qingyuan also gave people a sense of oppression, but when she was with him, she restrained herself a lot, so he was not afraid.

But General Gu is different from Gu Qingyuan. Her hands are stained with the blood of countless enemies. She is also the head of the family and is in charge of the life and death of hundreds of people in the mansion.

After Ji Mingzhao was taken away by Xia Zhi, the people in his courtyard remembered what Gu Qingyuan had instructed them to report to her in a timely manner if anything happened.

They were afraid that General Gu would have Ji Mingzhao taken away, which would be detrimental to him. After all, he was just a concubine, but he got pregnant first. What if...

They didn't dare to think further, and used the excuse of going out to buy things to take this opportunity to come to the gate of the academy.

The two women who were guarding Baichuan Academy were still the same ones from last time. They saw a man standing outside the door and stopped him.

They looked him up and down and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

He nodded and said, "I know."

"If you know that, why did you come? Men are not allowed to enter. Why don't you leave now?"

The man said anxiously: "I'm looking for our Young Master Gu. It's urgent."

When they heard that this person was looking for Gu Qingyuan, they looked at the man in front of them again and found that he was indeed wearing the clothes of the Gu family. Then they said, "Wait, we will go and call Young Master Gu."

The man said gratefully, "Thank you very much."

After a while, Gu Qingyuan came out. She looked at the man at the door and asked him, "What happened? Why did you come to see me?"

The man felt reassured when he saw Gu Qingyuan, and said hurriedly, "Young Master, please come home with me. Not long after you left, General Gu called our master over."

This person was beside Ji Mingzhao. Gu Qingyuan recognized him at a glance. Now, hearing him say this, she quickened her pace and walked home with him.

After Gu Qingyuan left, the people in the inner house started to talk about it: "Strange, why did Gu Qingyuan leave so suddenly?"

"Yes, it seems that her servants came to look for her, and she left in a hurry."

"Could it be that something happened to the Gu family?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! The Gu family is a great hero. If General Gu hadn't fought in the battlefield, there would be no Great Ning Kingdom today. The Gu family will definitely be fine!"

In the past, when they didn't know Gu Qingyuan, although they didn't like her, they also respected the Gu family and General Gu.

Ye Li glanced at the window seat where Gu Qingyuan was sitting, and worry appeared in his eyes.

I also hope that she can deal with her family affairs as soon as possible and come over.

After Gu Qingyuan followed the servant back to the Gu family, he went straight to General Gu's yard.

It was a hot day and Gu Qingyuan was walking fast, so he was sweating a lot.
