Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

His handkerchief had the same fragrance as his body. When he was wiping it, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Gu Qingyuan looking at him.

"Isn't it hot standing outside?"

"Not hot, not hot," Ji Mingzhao said quickly. After he finished speaking, he looked at her expression again, "Actually... it's only a little hot, but now that I've seen the young master, I'm not hot anymore."

His cautious look softened Gu Qingyuan's heart.

"I'm not blaming you, I just think you should be nicer to yourself. In this kind of weather, it's better not to go out."

Ji Mingzhao had a smile on his face. He hummed and said, "I am listening to my wife now and go to bed early every day. But if I don't do anything during the day, I will feel empty inside."

Gu Qingyuan raised her hand and pinched his face, saying helplessly, "You."

There was a mixture of pampering and helplessness in her voice.

Ji Mingzhao noticed that Gu Qingyuan seemed to be worried about something when she came back. He asked with concern, "Wife, is there something wrong? I saw that you didn't seem very happy when you came back just now."

"If my wife needs any help, please tell me."

"The greatest help you can give me is if you take good care of yourself and our child." As Gu Qingyuan spoke, she hooked a strand of his hair and wrapped it around her finger.

"I will...I will take good care of myself."

He seemed to be assuring her.

Gu Qingyuan picked up the cold tea and put it to his lips. "Are you thirsty? You look so sweaty."

He stuck out his tongue like a puppy, and only started drinking after his tongue touched the water in the cup.

This is also his little habit.

After drinking half a cup, he gently pushed the cup, as if to say that he was full and didn't want to drink anymore.

Gu Qingyuan then moved the cup away, then tilted his head back and drank the remaining half cup of water.

Moreover, when she drank, she did not change the direction of the cup, but drank along the place where he had just drunk. This discovery made Ji Mingzhao's heart beat faster.

Does this count as an indirect kiss between him and his wife?

Gu Qingyuan didn't notice his abnormality, put the cup back, and poured herself another one.

"How have you been lately? Has the child been bothering you?"

When he heard her mention the child, Ji Mingzhao's eyes became even gentler and he lowered his head to look at his belly.

"Thank you for your concern, my wife. I've felt much better recently."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and said, "That's good."

Getting pregnant and having a baby is really not easy. If you are in a bad mood during pregnancy, it will also affect the baby.

Ji Mingzhao saw that although she was talking to him, she seemed a little absent-minded, and said, "Wife, I want to go back."

"Then I'll give it to you."

Ji Mingzhao stood up and looked at her reluctantly.

Although he is reluctant, he should let his wife take care of her own affairs. It is okay for him to be alone.

Ji Mingzhao returned to the bamboo garden.

After sending him away, Gu Qingyuan thought about the Fourth Princess' words. Since she said so, it proved that she must know something.

This concerns her mother, so even if tomorrow there are dangers, she will go.

At the appointed time, Gu Qingyuan appeared at the door of Weixian Pavilion. The Fourth Princess saw her downstairs and had someone bring her over.

Gu Qingyuan came into the private room and looked at the Fourth Princess sitting there and said, "Fourth Princess, just say whatever you want to say."

"Master Gu, please don't be so impatient."

The Fourth Princess first asked the person who brought Gu Qingyuan here to pull out a chair for her to sit down, and then prepared bowls and chopsticks for her.

"I had eaten before I came here." Gu Qingyuan said lightly.

"Then why don't you have a couple of drinks with me, Young Master Gu?"

As he spoke, a full wine glass was handed to her.

Gu Qingyuan stared at her intently and asked, "What do you want to do? Just say it if you have something to say."

The fourth princess drank the wine in her hand in one gulp, as if to prove to her that she had not tampered with the wine, which was poured from the same wine jug.

"Young Master, you must be thirsty after your journey. I'll tell you after you finish drinking. How's that?"

Gu Qingyuan took out a silver needle and drank the wine only after making sure it was not poisonous.

"Ah, I didn't expect that Young Master Gu was still on guard against me. I just drank this wine in front of you."

Gu Qingyuan raised his eyes to look at her, "Now that I've had my drink, you can just tell me what you want to say, right?"

The Fourth Princess shrugged and asked the man who brought Gu Qingyuan to stand outside before she said, "Young Master Gu, how about we work together?"

"I'm not interested in."

"Then is Young Master Gu interested in General Gu's life?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan slammed the table and asked, "What did you do to my mother?"

The Fourth Princess covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "Young Master Gu is still so anxious. Right now, General Gu is fine, but that may not be the case in a few days."

Gu Qingyuan suddenly strode forward and grabbed her neck.

"Wen Ruozhi, I advise you not to touch my mother."

The fourth princess was pinched by her neck and coughed a few times, "It's not my intention to touch General Gu."

Gu Qingyuan let go of her and snorted coldly.

"You'd better explain it to me clearly, otherwise, you may not be able to get out horizontally or vertically today."

"It wasn't me, it was that idiot who wanted me to take action against the people around General Gu. Judging by the time, they should be successful soon."

"them?"

Gu Qingyuan frowned. It seemed that there was more than one person who wanted to attack her mother.

"You probably don't know yet, but the commander beside your mother has already been replaced."

While she was still in shock, the Four Princesses dropped a bombshell.

"Add to that the people we have ambushing in the army. Tell me, if something happens to Her Highness the Crown Princess, and the Queen Mother investigates and finds out it was the Gu family's army, will your Gu family still be safe?"

The fourth princess admired Gu Qingyuan's increasingly ugly expression.

Then state your own conditions.

"As long as the Gu family submits to me, I will immediately order them to withdraw, and your Gu family will be safe."

This is her purpose.

The Gu family controls a large army. As long as he gets the support of the Gu family, the throne will be within his reach.

General Gu was very upright and she had no idea where to start.

I had no choice but to break through from Gu Qingyuan's side.

Gu Qingyuan quickly calmed down and asked her, "Why should I believe you?"

The fourth princess chuckled and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'll only give you three days to think about it."

After saying that, she stood up and walked outside.

Gu Qingyuan was the only one left in the room, and she sat there for a very long time.

The fourth princess's confident look made Gu Qingyuan feel a little nervous.

Now the country is facing internal and external troubles, and the enemy countries are eyeing Daning State covetously. In addition, General Gu's hands are stained with the blood of countless enemy soldiers, and they hate General Gu to the core.

I wish I could skin her alive and pull out her tendons.

Gu Qingyuan couldn't imagine what kind of fate her mother would face if she was betrayed on the battlefield by the person closest to her.

Damn it!
