After Pei Jinting took the medicine, his cold body slowly warmed up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After Mrs. Chengen felt relieved, she began to look at Gu Qingyuan dissatisfied.
"Jingheng has taken the medicine and will wake up soon. You can leave."
"For letting you stay for so long, our family has already done its best to treat you with kindness and justice."
Gu Qingyuan stood without changing her expression. The wind outside blew open the window and wrapped her clothes around her, making her thin back look even thinner.
She smiled faintly,
"Madam, the Pei family has indeed not treated me badly at all. Of course you can drive me away."
"However, please forgive Qingyuan for not obeying his orders. When Pei Jingheng wakes up, if he lets me go, I won't say anything."
Mrs. Cheng'en's face was very dark,
"Are you using Jingheng's name to continue working in our family? You can't bear to part with the glory and wealth here, and you can't bear to be the third young wife of the Pei family."
"You can't bear to leave Jingheng even more, right?"
Gu Qingyuan's face was very calm, and she looked straight at Mrs. Cheng'en,
Her current expression made the silent Cheng Engong on the side seem to be seeing someone.
The brave and fearless Lord Zhen Guo fought bravely on the battlefield.
Instantly brought back many memories of Chengen Gong.
"Okay. Are you finished? Jingheng hasn't woken up yet." Duke Chengen suddenly shouted loudly.
Mrs. Chengen was suddenly startled.
"Master, could she..."
Cheng'en Gong, "Don't you know San'er's temper? Since he dares to steal her bride, will he care about who she is and what her identity is?"
Mrs. Chengen looked at Duke Chengen unbearably,
"What do you mean? Do you want me to let him do whatever he wants? In the past, you pampered him and you allowed him to do whatever he wanted..."
Duke Cheng'en said angrily, "Shut up. Don't let anyone else gather around here. Go back to their own places. Ayuan, right? You stay here."
With that said, he motioned to the servants serving Mrs. Cheng'en to help her out.
Others also retreated.
Chen Zhao fell last.
She frequently looked back at Pei Jinting on the couch, and finally looked at Gu Qingyuan with obscure eyes.
"Ayuan, you probably don't know that Jingheng's illness is an old one. It was caused by falling into the water at that time."
"He has an attack from time to time. You have to take good care of him and give him medicine after an hour..."
It's strange that Cheng'en Gong could explain pulse conditions and prescriptions to the imperial physician with such ease and familiarity.
It turned out that Pei Jinting was in coma due to a chronic illness.
She looked at Chen Zhao and thought about the reason why she told herself this.
Gu Qingyuan met Chen Zhao several times, but rarely saw her and her husband together.
These days, Chen Zhao has been recuperating in the Pei Mansion and has never heard of her husband coming to visit.
Gu Qingyuan could understand her thoughts. According to the script, when you like someone, you look forward to seeing him all the time. No matter how intimate you are, you will never get tired of it.
There is such a deep past between them.
Countless thoughts and surges of sourness suddenly appeared in Gu Qingyuan's mind, catching her off guard.
She looked back at Chen Zhao steadily,
"Thank you, Mrs. Yu, for reminding me. I will take good care of you."
With that said, he walked to the door.
Chen Zhao opened her mouth in surprise. She did not expect Gu Qingyuan to react like this.
She didn't expect that Gu Qingyuan, who looked gentle and weak, could be as lonely and brave as a wolf.
Chen Zhao was more shocked and uneasy than anyone else.
She is the one who knows best that Pei Jinting has very high requirements for the women he likes.
It's not that he lacks beauties around him, or that he is really heartless and desireless, but that he is very picky.
Although he has a reputation as a romantic man, he is actually cleaner than many legendary and devoted men.
If he would snatch a woman back, it would never be because the woman would be useful to the prince's family.
Just like her, Pei Jinting welcomed his protection because she made a desperate move and gambled with her life.
But it's just a return of protection.
Pei Jinting is so noble, even if she saves him, she can't repay her kindness.
He has never transgressed the rules with her, no matter what she hinted.
In the end, she could only give up on Pei Jinting's seemingly hopeless relationship.
She chose the marriage that Mrs. Chengen had chosen for her.
In this way, she still has a chance to make Pei Jinting feel guilty about her and become a touch of cinnabar in his heart.
For so many years, although Pei Jinting has been romantically involved, he has never stopped for anyone.
She had been complacent about this for many years, always thinking that he was missing the ambiguous and youthful relationship between them.
Until now, the appearance of this woman in front of her gave her a heavy blow.
That day, she was at the water pavilion and saw how Pei Jinting's hands were making trouble on the woman's body.
How she wished that woman was her.
Realizing that Chen Zhao was looking at her in a daze, Gu Qingyuan pointed out,
"Mrs. Yu? Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Chen Zhao slowly came back to his senses, a forced smile appeared on his face,
"With you taking care of me, what else can I say?"
"It's a pity that you have to leave after Jingheng wakes up, otherwise we can talk together more. Neither you nor I have a family to rely on."
Gu Qingyuan avoided answering,
"Mrs. Yu, it's easy to leave, so I won't see you off."
Chen Zhao looked sadly at Gu Qingyuan's back.
My nails dug hard into the flesh of my palms, and I felt a burst of pain.
Gu Qingyuan stood at the head of the bed, looking at Pei Jinting's pale face.
Shuangzhi persuaded her several times, "Young madam, you go and have a rest. The slaves are here to guard you."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master."
Gu Qingyuan shook her head. She wanted to guard Pei Jinting until he woke up.
Seeing her like that, Shuangzhi didn't try to persuade her anymore, but brought her a blanket to cover her.
"I heard that the second girl from Zhen Guogong's mansion had her tongue bitten by an insect. She also had many wounds on her face. The doctor who was asked to diagnose her pulse said that she had to apply plaster every day. I don't know if the scars will disappear."
"Now Mrs. Ruan is going all over the street to seek treatment from famous doctors."
As soon as the words fell to the ground, Shuangzhi looked disgusted, "You deserve it."
The second girl of the Gu family committed a crime and finally deserved it.
To say that their son has done a great job, it is a pity that his old illness has recurred again.
Gu Qingyuan listened quietly without showing any gloating expression.
Since everyone has chosen a different path, what they will encounter on the road, good or bad, depends on who they are.
After all, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
Gu Yunniang can only be that bandit.
Pei Jinting's hand was still cold, and Gu Qingyuan touched his palm after a while, praying that he would wake up soon.
She leaned against the window, her almond-shaped eyes open, staring at Pei Jinting's face, and random thoughts flashed back and forth in her mind.
Occasionally, a bad thought suddenly crossed her mind, so she took Pei Jinting's hand and put it against her face. She felt his pulse beating, and she felt a little calmer.
The sun sets very early today and the sunset is beautiful.
Gu Qingyuan couldn't care less about the setting sun setting outside the window.
Golden light passed through the window screen and fell on the bedside, coating Pei Jinting's eyes with a layer of gold.
He opened his eyes and moved.
Gu Qingyuan was putting his hand on her cheek. He didn't move, his eyes were dark and bright, and his hand moved between her palm and cheek.
"Gu Yuanyuan, are you secretly cheating on your husband?"
