Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 1091 The Unfaithful Lover 9

“You child, how could your grandmother possibly lie to you with such words?” Old Madam Gu frowned. “Chunxi is now truly the Emperor’s concubine, and she is pregnant with his child. In short, you must stop having those thoughts about Chunxi right away, understand?”

"No, I don't believe it," Gu Yanjin said, looking utterly devastated. "How could Chunxi become the Emperor's concubine? How could she..."

"Enough!" Old Madam Gu shouted. "If you don't want to die and drag the entire Gu family down with you, then you'd better stop thinking about it right now."

"Besides, don't you like Princess Hua'an? Why can't you let go of your feelings for Chunxi? In my opinion, you should get engaged to Princess Hua'an as soon as possible and marry her. Then your feelings for Chunxi will naturally disappear."

"No, I don't believe it, and I won't accept it. How could Chunxi become the Emperor's concubine? She should be the woman I spend my life with." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanjin turned and ran outside.

This infuriated Old Madam Gu: "You wretched child! You wretched child! Does he want to ruin the entire Gu family?"

"Granny Bai," Old Madam Gu called from outside, and as soon as Granny Bai came in, she quickly ordered, "Send someone to keep an eye on the eldest young master. He is not allowed to go out these few days."

Madam Gu simply thought that her grandson couldn't accept Jiang Chunxi becoming the emperor's concubine for the time being, so she kept him at home for a few days to let him calm down.

Little did she know that her grandson and Chunxi had actually been together for a long time, and it wasn't as simple as she thought.

That night, Gu Yanjin fell ill with a sudden high fever, which made him unconscious and caused Old Madam Gu to shed tears of worry.

Gu Bingkun invited a doctor to examine his son's pulse. After his son took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, his high fever gradually subsided, and Gu Bingkun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he only had one son, so naturally he was extremely worried.

"Alright, Yan Jin's fever has subsided, so you can go back and rest. You don't need to stay here and watch over him," Gu Bingkun said to Jiang Huishu.

As her stepmother, Gu Yanjin suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma. Even if she was just putting on an act, she couldn't pretend that she knew nothing.

So Jiang Huishu had been guarding Gu Yanjin's courtyard for almost a whole night, and she was exhausted. Hearing Gu Bingkun say this, she naturally wouldn't refuse. She said a few words to Gu Bingkun to take care of his own health, and then left with her people.

"Mother, you should go back and rest too!" After Jiang Huishu left, Gu Bingkun looked at the old lady Gu and said, "I can take care of Yan Jin here. I have already sent someone to ask for leave. I will stay by Yan Jin's side until his child wakes up. So you should go back and rest quickly. Otherwise, if you also fall ill, wouldn't your son be worried about both sides?"

“No need,” Madam Gu waved her hand and said, “I can’t rest even if I go back after Yan Jin has woken up. I might as well stay by his child’s side.”

As she spoke, Old Madam Gu wiped away her tears: "Yan Jin has always been a healthy child. He has never had such a high fever that caused him to fall into a coma. It really scared me to death. Fortunately, the high fever gradually subsided. Otherwise, I would probably have lost half of my life and might as well not live at all."

“Mother, why are you talking nonsense?” Gu Bingkun said helplessly. “Alright, alright, since you’re worried about Yanjin, then stay here with your son! Just don’t talk nonsense anymore.”

"Chunxi, Chunxi," Gu Yanjin on the bed began to mutter, repeatedly calling out Jiang Chunxi's name, "I can't live without you, you can't become the Emperor's concubine, how could you become the Emperor's concubine? Have you forgotten our vows, forgotten all these years we've spent together..."

Gu Bingkun quickly covered his son's mouth with his hand, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

Madam Gu's pupils dilated, her lips trembled, and she tried to speak, but couldn't utter a sound.

"Granny Bai, go outside and keep watch," Gu Bingkun said to Granny Bai.

Granny Bai turned pale with fright and quickly lowered her head and retreated.

Good heavens! I thought the eldest young master only had feelings for Miss Jiang, but it turns out that's not the case at all. The eldest young master and Miss Jiang have long harbored feelings for each other and have been secretly together.

Good heavens! This Miss Jiang is now one of the Emperor's concubines. If outsiders find out about the affair between the eldest son and her, wouldn't the Emperor be furious and have the eldest son beheaded?

"This...this..." After Granny Bai left, Old Madam Gu finally found her voice, "This...what exactly happened! Did Yan Jin and that girl from the Jiang family have an affair long ago? It wasn't just him who had those feelings for that girl from the Jiang family, and that's why he thought of taking her as a concubine."

Gu Bingkun looked at his still unconscious son with a grim expression. If his son weren't still unconscious, he would definitely punish him according to family rules and beat this wretched child to death.

“Mother, Granny Bai cannot be kept alive. You must get rid of Granny Bai as soon as possible,” Gu Bingkun said to Old Madam Gu with a serious expression. “You must know that if the matter between Yan Jin and Chun Xi is exposed, it will be a disaster that wipes out our entire Gu family.”

"Does it have to be this way?" Old Madam Gu asked, her face full of reluctance. "Granny Bai has been serving me for a long time, and her loyalty is beyond question, so..."

“There is no reason why,” Gu Bingkun interrupted Madam Gu. “Mother, you must know that only the dead can truly preserve secrets. Therefore, Granny Bai must die. We must not leave her as a hidden danger.”

"I understand," Madam Gu nodded with difficulty, then, as if remembering something, she added, "Tell me, does Madam Jiang know about Yan Jin and the Jiang family girl?"

“They probably don’t know,” Gu Bingkun said. “If the Jiang family knew, they wouldn’t have asked me to find Chunxi a good marriage.”

Then Gu Bingkun removed his hand from his son's mouth: "This wretched child is really something! Right under the elders' noses, I don't know how he managed to deceive Chunxi, making her so foolishly follow him..."

“How can you say that?” Old Madam Gu interrupted her son. “How can you say that Yan Jin deceived that girl from the Jiang family? In my opinion, it was clearly that girl from the Jiang family who seduced Yan Jin.”

Gu Bingkun was too lazy to argue with Old Madam Gu: "Alright, Mother, now is not the time to argue about this. It's more important to think about how to make Yan Jin give up his feelings for Chunxi."

"Oh! What a mess this is!" Old Madam Gu wiped away her tears again.
