Chapter 1851: Chapter 1851: It’s All in the Past (2)
Yang Ruxin reached out and hugged Gu Qingheng’s waist from behind. Now it’s easy to talk about it with a sigh, but back then, how much endurance did it take to get through it?
"...Gu Sheng believed her and valued that child very much..." Gu Qingheng placed his hand over Yang Ruxin’s. "At the time, they said it was premature, but it was actually a full-term child. I just didn’t understand then, but later I realized, how could a premature baby be so well-developed? Later, Gu Che kept getting poisoned and falling, haha, it was actually Zou Qiuyue’s doing, but in the end, it was all blamed on me. From then on, Gu Sheng saw me as a thorn in his side... The midwife who delivered the baby was said to have fallen into a latrine while drunk and drowned afterward..."
"Fortunately, I had my master, so most of the time, I wouldn’t stay at the Gu Family..."
"When the accident happened, I had gone back to pay respects at my mother’s grave and ended up drugged. Luckily, my master had prepared someone for me in advance, otherwise..."
"I discovered Zou Qiuyue had an affair with Deng Da. Once, I was missing my mom, so I climbed a tree in the backyard and fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw those two people embracing under the tree..."
"It’s all in the past now."
"Yeah." Gu Qingheng smiled, pulling her to the front for a hug. "I’m telling you this because I have no feelings for the Gu Family at all. After all, my grandmother’s surname was also Gu. Of course, if it really disgusts me, I could change to Shu... So whatever you want to do, I’ll support it unconditionally."
"Gu Sheng becoming Chief of Staff means he’s not dumb, right? So how did he manage to always do idiotic things?" Yang Ruxin shook her head, unable to figure it out, so she decided not to dwell on it. "What I want to figure out now is how to trap that Gu named guy in the little courtyard in Niujiao Lane?"
"You want him to see it with his own eyes?"
Yang Ruxin nodded, "Last time, I let Mingli put a slow-acting aphrodisiac on Zou Qiuyue, so I guess it took effect, which is why Zou Qiuyue found an excuse not to enter the palace yesterday..."
"Aphrodisiac?"
"Yeah." Yang Ruxin nodded. "The old man’s research, the drug effect can last up to half a month. It’s an improved version of the drug used by the girls in the brothel. After the drug takes effect, whoever you have intimate contact with, you’ll spend the next half month constantly thinking of that person; switching partners feels uncomfortable..."
"Uncomfortable?"
"Yeah." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Anyway, that’s what the old man said. He tested it using wild boars..."
"What kind of uncomfortable?" Gu Qingheng’s voice suddenly became husky.
"It’s..." Yang Ruxin suddenly felt something was off and looked up to meet his heated gaze, her old face instantly flushed, "You..."
Unfortunately, her words were swallowed, and at some point, they both fell onto the bed.
It was clearly a serious conversation...
Yang Ruxin didn’t know when she fell asleep.
Gu Qingheng only came back to sleep after taking two cold showers.
The next day, one looked fresh and energetic, while the other seemed very unsatisfied.
"You can’t blame me for this." Yang Ruxin said innocently.
"Yeah, blame fate." Gu Qingheng nodded earnestly, "For letting me meet my nemesis." There was a bit of gritting in his tone after that.
Yang Ruxin sheepishly touched her nose, "Maybe, get you a personal maid... Ouch..." Before she finished, she was tapped on the forehead.
