Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

Mu Junyan did not unleash his passion in a forceful manner as Gu Hua had imagined.

Instead, a large hand gently stroked her back, while another hand brushed across her lips and then supported the back of her head by her sideburns.

Gu Hua was much younger than him and had never had a father's love since childhood, so she didn't mind his touch. Instead, she felt comforted, like a well-behaved kitten curling up in its owner's arms, and her mood calmed down.

She felt that Mu Junyan was deeply hurt by Mu An tonight, and his mood was heavy, with some complicated emotions that she couldn't understand.

Instead, she was more worried about the tonic soup, fearing that it might cause an attack at any time.

His hand slid from the back of her head back to her cheek, his slightly rough fingertips tracing the contours of her face, his thumb stopping once again on her lips.

Her trembling lips were rubbed by his warm fingertips, as if dry tinder had been lit, and a burning sensation came over her.

It’s over.

That feeling came.

Gu Hua became nervous.

The early autumn night was chilly, but she felt a heat rising up all over her body.

She raised her head slightly, looking at the man with a pleading gaze whose expression was unclear.

What is he trying to do?!

Mu Junyan noticed the sweat on her nose and chuckled softly, "Are you hot?"

Gu Hua was getting a little angry, and she lowered her head and groaned softly.

Through his thin robe, even through the light dress, one could feel that their skin was like two fires burning against each other.

Her chin was lifted, forcing her to face those deep, dark eyes.

The heat radiating from her body intensified, while he leisurely examined her, giving off a feeling of teasing a cat.

Her beautiful eyes were blazing with fury; she really wanted to bite him.

But she dared not, and could only endure it, waiting for her master to give the order.

The hands, crossed in front of her chest, curled up even tighter, her small hands clenched, as if she were a small animal ready to run away at any moment.

Seeing her flustered yet timid appearance, Mu Junyan felt a slight stirring in his heart.

The bowl of soup given to her was ginseng soup; the teasing was just meant to amuse her.

But now, it seems to have changed.

The young girl's thin clothes were damp with a light sweat, clinging tightly to her exquisite chest. Her two jade-like arms were intertwined and pressed down, and from his perspective, he could see the most enchanting jade belt.

He also began to feel hot.

The little girl's cherry lips were tightly pursed, and her eyelashes trembled, as if she was a little afraid of him, or as if she was suppressing her anger.

Mu Junyan felt a slight pain in his gums, and couldn't help but smile.

It's a cat that's both timid and temperamental.

Hearing the laughter, Gu Hua, who was trying her best to suppress her body heat, looked up.

Still laughing!

She pouted angrily, her heart filled with rage, and suddenly opened her arms to hook her arms around his neck, pressing her pretty face directly against his.

Isn't that what men fall for?

Since she uses her looks to please men, why should she be reserved?

Just as she was about to pout and climb up, she heard a low, husky voice: "Is the tonic soup delicious?"

Gu Hua froze, unable to move forward or backward.

Unable to hold back her temper any longer, she simply continued to crane her neck, tilting her head to the side, ignoring him.

That awkward look was something Mu Junyan had never seen before, adding a touch of vitality to it.

The pent-up frustration in Mu Junyan's heart, caused by Mu An's anger, suddenly dissipated. He lifted her chin, forcing her to turn her head.

Staring at her luscious red lips, Mu Junyan's Adam's apple bobbed.

Sun Shizi said that women are a form of relaxation.

After enduring decades of hardship, he finally felt the sweetness of a woman today.

But when facing other women, even the most alluring ones, his heart remained as cold as iron. Why was his composure so weak when facing this little girl?

He was puzzled.

Since there's no solution, let's just leave it at that.

Sometimes, indulging in unrestrained indulgence can be a kind of enjoyment.

"Open your mouth."

Gu Hua looked bewildered, but obediently opened her mouth.

It's black in front of you.

A gentle touch came from hot lips, and a large hand pulled back firmly, supporting my head.

Gu Hua's head was tilted back, her delicate neck unable to support her weight, and she could only passively feel the heavy kiss.

This kiss was different from the previous two.

He seemed to be admiring or exploring.

But her anxious heart was hard to suppress.

Oh no, the medication is about to kick in.

Should she launch a fierce counterattack, or patiently wait for the man to prepare his move?

Her mind was in turmoil, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Her arms around his neck tightened until their lips met, their coquettish words and heavy breaths mingling and entwining, inseparable.

The Brocade Pavilion was in an uproar all night.

Gu Wanru lost her baby.

When she saw the fully formed male fetus, she was devastated.

With bloodshot eyes, she screamed hoarsely, "Gu Hua, you bitch, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Standing in the courtyard, Zhou Zhilan's face darkened: "She dares to touch Sister Hua and see what happens!"

Zhou Chunyu's tone remained calm: "Those who do evil will not live. Let's go."

Neither of them wanted to look at the vicious madwoman anymore, so they turned and left.

Apart from the servants of Jinxiu Pavilion, everyone else followed.

Shen Li didn't want to stay any longer, and glanced at her master: "Master, are we going to wait here?"

Physician Sun shook his head: "There's no use in us waiting. We'll go get the medicine, and then we'll have someone from Jinxiuge bring it over and decoct it."

The two of them also left.

Jin Kui stood by Gu Wanru's bedside, staring at her blankly.

Gu Wanru screamed for a while, but no one responded.

The wooden figure standing in front of her, as if it had no ears, made her so angry that she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

She bit her lip hard, the pain bringing her back to her senses.

The child is gone, the child is gone, the child is gone...

Her mind is a complete mess, what should I do?

When she had a child, Mu An could still give her some face, after all, she was the eldest grandson of the Duke's mansion, her father would value her, and Mu An would also value her for the sake of the title.

But now, the most important bargaining chip is gone.

Can she still keep her position as the young mistress of the Duke's mansion?

It's all that bitch Gu Hua's fault.

She needs to pull herself together!

What are you standing there for?

Jin Kui's eyes darted around: "What are your orders, young lady?"

"What young lady! I'm the young mistress!"

Gu Wanru was furious and wanted to grab a teacup and smash it to crack open this blockhead's head.

But she had no strength left, only the ability to gasp for breath.

Jin Kui asked expressionlessly, "What are your orders, young mistress?"

"Go get me my medicine! How could you be so stupid!"

Gu Wanru was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. She couldn't hit anyone, so she could only curse.

Jin Kui didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

On ordinary days, when the son-in-law doesn't come, the eldest daughter takes her anger out on the servants, especially picking on Gu Hua.

In the past, with Gu Hua as her punching bag, Gu Wanru would direct all her anger at her.

Later, Gu Hua was protected by the Duke's mansion, while Yin Zhi was promoted to concubine, and Gu Wanru lashed out at Yin Zhi.

Yinzhi was incredibly loyal; she knew perfectly well that every time she came to serve her, she would suffer mistreatment, yet she did it willingly.

Yinzhi also told Jin Kui that the eldest young lady was angered by that bitch Gu Hua, and if she wasn't allowed to vent her anger, she would become ill from the resentment.

Therefore, Yinzhi said she would rather the eldest daughter hit or scold her than let the eldest daughter keep it to herself.

Jin Kui turned around and her eyes filled with tears.

Yinzhi, this is the young lady who serves others with the utmost loyalty, like a dog.

Did she ever consider Yinzhi's plight, even a little bit, as she watched her being beaten and left in a state of uncertainty?

No.

The young lady only cares about whether her fiancé cares about her and whether he will forgive her.

Jin Kui was filled with sorrow.

Yinzhi and Gu Wanru were both born into the household. Yinzhi's mother was Gu Wanru's wet nurse. Young masters who had been nursed usually regarded their wet nurses as their second mothers. When her wet nurse fell seriously ill and could no longer serve the young lady, she sent her own daughter to Gu Wanru's side.

Yinzhi and Jinkui grew up together in the mansion, and from the age of seven, the two of them served the eldest young lady together.

Although she and Yinzhi have different personalities, they are good sisters who take care of each other.

Watching her best friend get beaten bloody for taking the blame for the older girl, Jin Kui's self-preservation instincts crumbled.

Can you save your life if you try to protect yourself?

Jin Kui brought the medicine back to the house and took a spoon to feed Gu Wanru the medicine. Because the medicine was freshly brewed and too hot, she gently blew on the medicine in the spoon.

Gu Wanru was burning with anger and had nowhere to vent it. She stared intently at Jin Kui, who was looking down and expressionless. Suddenly, she waved her hand and splashed the scalding hot medicine all over Jin Kui's face.

Jin Kui let out a low scream, covered her face for a moment, then put her hands down, staring fixedly at the madwoman-like Gu Wanru with her face burning red and terrifying.

“Young lady, Yinzhi is dead, and you only have this servant left by your side. I was burned by you. Do you have anyone to serve you?”

Gu Wanru choked so hard that she felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat.

Looking at Jin Kui's cold gaze, she suddenly felt a little scared.

She tried to calm herself down: "Go and get another bowl of medicine."

Jin Kui left without saying a word.

Gu Wanru was so angry she wanted to kill someone!

I want to kill that bitch Gu Hua!
