"Your eldest daughter has already given you to the master."

The son-in-law leaned down and rubbed his cheek against hers: "I will take good care of you, don't be afraid."

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Hua stretched out her sharp claws and scratched his face hard.

"Ah!" The young master released her in pain and instinctively pushed her away.

Gu Hua was slammed hard against the door, her legs were stretched and her muscles were torn apart, and she felt excruciating pain.

Whether it was pain, grievance, or the anger from being cruelly murdered by this beast in a past life, she could no longer hold back, her eyes turned bloodshot, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Hua feigned fear and shrank back, saying, "Young Master, I didn't mean it. I was wrong. Please punish me."

The beauty sheds tears, her delicate trembling a poignant sight, a truly endearing sight.

As she struggled, her breath quickened with shock and fear. Her high, soft breasts, tightly wrapped in her clothes, rose and fell, looking exceptionally alluring.

The son-in-law stared so intently that he wanted to reach out and touch it, and for a moment he forgot his anger.

"You little slut, hurry up and go inside to serve the young lady! How dare you seduce the young master here!"

Yinzhi was so angry at Gu Hua's seductive appearance that she gritted her teeth and cursed as she habitually twisted Gu Hua's ear.

Gu Hua immediately hid behind her son-in-law, shrugging her shoulders and whispering, "Son-in-law, save me! I've been injured, and my face looks terrible now."

The son-in-law couldn't bear the delicate pleading. His already pent-up anger had nowhere to go, so he grabbed Yinzhi's hair and slapped her twice hard, then kicked her hard in the stomach.

"You lowly servant! Gu Hua is the young mistress's own sister, a daughter of a noble family. How dare you, a lowly servant, beat and scold her at will!"

Yinzhi was kicked away and rolled onto the bluestone slab. She was in so much pain that she clutched her stomach and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, she finally burst into tears.

Gu Hua looked terrified: "Young Master, if the eldest young lady finds out that Sister Yinzhi is injured, she will beat me."

The young master was heartbroken and immediately roared fiercely at Yinzhi, "Shut up! If you disturb the young mistress's peace, I'll sell you right now!"

Yinzhi was so frightened that her crying stopped abruptly.

After watching the commotion from inside the house for a while, seeing that her husband was about to reach out to hug someone again, Gu Wanru finally couldn't help but come out and step between her husband and Gu Hua.

She said softly, "My lord, please don't be angry. This lowly servant is ignorant and will be taught a lesson by me."

The son-in-law gently squeezed Gu Wanru's hand and said considerately, "Madam is pregnant and shouldn't overwork herself. This lowly maid who doesn't know her place can be sold off to save you the trouble."

Gu Wanru was very satisfied with her husband's thoughtfulness, and her face was full of amiable smiles.

“My lord loves me dearly, but my maids are not well-trained, so how can they serve you well? Rest assured, my lord, I will make sure you are satisfied.”

The son-in-law smiled happily, his eyes fixed on Gu Hua.

He was very satisfied.

This girl is even more alluring than Yaoyao from Jin Feng Lou.

She was like a flower bud about to bloom, exuding an alluring fragrance that made people itch with desire.

Gu Wanru gritted her teeth in anger, but gently pushed him, saying virtuously, "Isn't my lord supposed to go back to the courtyard to wash and change before going to the yamen? If we don't leave now, we'll be late. Father-in-law will blame me if he finds out."

Gu Hua quickly went into the inner room.

The young master stared intently at the curvaceous figure from behind: "Let Gu Hua help me wash and dress here. Yinzhi, go to my courtyard and fetch my official robe."

Yinzhi, clutching her aching stomach, was stunned by what she heard, and her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

But she dared not disobey her son-in-law's orders.

Seeing her husband following Gu Hua so eagerly, Gu Wanru gritted her teeth in hatred, her gaze turning sinister.

Gu Hua felt like she was being pricked by needles, knowing she couldn't escape for the time being, so she could only grit her teeth and help her son-in-law wash up.

The son-in-law took the towel Gu Hua handed him, deliberately held her hand, and squeezed it.

Gu Hua broke free in a panic, picked up the copper basin and turned around, just in time to see Gu Wanru wringing a handkerchief and staring at her coldly.

"Young lady, let me change your water."

Gu Wanru immediately put on a smiling face: "Be careful, you might slip and fall."

"Yes." Gu Hua fled the door as if she were escaping.

The son-in-law smiled and put his arm around Gu Wanru's slightly thicker limbs, cuddling her ear and cheek for a while.

Gu Wanru playfully pushed him away, saying, "Alright, Gu Hua will laugh when she comes in."

"She needs to learn how to serve her husband properly, shouldn't she?"

The son-in-law held Gu Wanru tightly, his eyes then falling on Gu Hua, who was carrying a copper basin into the room.

Gu Hua cursed the beast in her heart and lowered her head to put the copper basin down.

Gu Wanru was cruel to Gu Hua; keeping the enchanting woman by her side was truly out of necessity.

When she married into the family, her husband already had more than ten women in his harem. She managed to get rid of a few, but he kept taking in new women.

Two months ago, Gu Wanru had just found out she was pregnant when her son-in-law brought back a courtesan named Yaoyao to the mansion. He spent his days and nights with her, completely disregarding her dignity as the legal wife.

Yao Yao, spoiled and arrogant, didn't respect her mistress Gu Wanru at all and often failed to come and pay her respects.

Even if she comes by chance, she always has a languid and seductive air about her passionate night with her son-in-law, just to spite Gu Wanru.

Gu Wanru returned home crying and complained that Aunt Pei suggested sending Gu Hua to the Duke's mansion as a dowry maid.

She said that she had already trained Gu Hua and made her sign a slave contract, and that she would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts.

Once Gu Wanru gives birth to a child, Gu Huafa can be sold off, or a reason can be found to kill her.

Gu Wanru then agreed to bring her into the mansion and keep her by her side.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Hua entered the mansion, her son-in-law would come to Gu Wanru's place every few days.

Every time he comes, his eyes seem to be glued to Gu Hua.

He especially liked to stare at Gu Hua's waist and chest.

Gu Hua was terrified by what she saw, and Gu Wanru gritted her teeth in hatred.

When her son-in-law arrived, Gu Wan, as if guarding against a thief, found an excuse to send Gu Hua away, leaving only Yinzhi to serve her.

But just yesterday, Yaoyao said she was pregnant.

Gu Wanru then became anxious.

In order to keep her husband in check, she had no choice but to go along with the situation and give Gu Hua to him, so that she could free up her hands to deal with the lowly prostitutes in the backyard.

……

Yinzhi returned, with Jinkui following behind, carrying the official robe.

Yinzhi directed Jinkui to help her son-in-law change his clothes and put on his hat, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Gu Hua.

After the son-in-law finished dressing, he held Gu Wanru's hand with deep affection in his eyes.

"I'll come back to see Madam as soon as I finish my shift and have dinner with her."

Gu Wanru blushed and replied softly, "Okay, I will arrange it well and make sure you are satisfied."

Gu Hua trembled all over.

The son-in-law looked at Gu Hua, his eyes burning with undisguised desire: "Gu Hua, serve the young mistress well and don't make her angry. Prepare fine wine and delicacies for tonight, and wait for me to come over obediently."

Gu Hua stiffened and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Following the trajectory of his previous life, the Duke of Yong left home early this morning.

I wonder if the Duke of Yong will come to his rescue?

Gu Wanru smiled as she saw her husband off at the door, but as soon as she turned around, her smile vanished, and she gave Gu Hua a faint glance.

"Yinzhi, is the Duke still in the manor?"

"Yes, Miss," Yinzhi replied respectfully.

Gu Wanru put on a virtuous demeanor: "I haven't seen my father since I married into the family. It's rare for him to come back, so I have to go and serve him tea."

Yinzhi helped Gu Wanru with her makeup and said happily, "Young lady, you are now pregnant with the first legitimate grandson of the Duke's mansion. The Duke will be very happy when he finds out. After you give birth to a healthy baby boy, the Duke will definitely ask to make your son-in-law the heir apparent. In the future, you will be the noble heir apparent's wife, and our young master will be the little grandson."

Gu Wanru nodded with a smile: "Of course. Father has no other children. For the sake of the eldest grandson, Father will definitely give the young master all the honor."

Gu Hua lowered her head and remained silent.

Unfortunately, the eldest sister was destined not to become the Crown Prince's wife.

In her previous life, on the day Gu Hua died, her son-in-law had not become the heir apparent, and news came from the front lines that the Duke had died in battle.

Gu Wanru glanced at the expressionless Gu Hua and instructed, "Yinzhi, the tribute tea from the Western Regions that the young master just gave me, brew a pot of it in that carved silver teapot bestowed by the emperor, and have Gu Hua carry it with me to see the Duke."

Yinzhi understood immediately; this was the young lady's chance to get revenge.

A moment later, Yinzhi brought out a pear wood tea tray with a silver teapot carved with intertwined branches on it, steam rising from the spout.

This didn't happen in my previous life.

Gu Wanru hated her for daring to refuse and for not maintaining her virtuous image in front of her husband.

Gu Hua's clasped hands trembled slightly.

Her elder sister was just as ruthless as her fake mother.

They really are birds of a feather!

Gu Hua went to take the tea tray.

Yinzhi gripped the tea tray tightly, sneering.

"This is tribute. You carried the tea tray this far. Can you afford to pay for the spilled tea?"

Gu Hua bit her lip, reluctantly bracing herself to pick up the scalding hot silver pot.

Her hands trembled from the heat, but she dared not let go.
