Chapter 3 3. This is the person you want to marry

In the remote rockery cave, the light is dim.

Gu Mei heard the footsteps and her mind went blank for a moment. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly lowered her head to check her clothes.

If you don't look carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

Whoever is out there can handle it.

Feeling slightly relieved, he raised his eyes and met the man's cold, mocking gaze.

He didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes said a lot.

Gu Mei's face felt hot with guilt.

She pinched her palms to stay calm.

If today's drugging was Helan Yan's revenge on her, then she has already repaid it.

"Xie Wenqing, why are you walking so fast? I almost couldn't catch up." With a coquettish female voice, Gu's eyebrows quivered, and she almost blurted out in surprise.

She quickly covered her mouth.

Gu Mei recognized this voice. Princess Su Xin was the most favored princess in the palace. The Wen Qing she spoke of was her husband Xie Wen, whose words were Wen Qing.

Why do two people who seem to have no connection with each other suddenly appear here?

And when Princess Su Xin addressed her husband, she was so tender.

Gu Mei couldn't figure it out and was a little scared. She subconsciously hid in the shadows, leaning her back against the cold stone wall, feeling chills.

"Princess. I thought we had already reached a consensus. We need to keep our relationship clear outside."

It was Xie Wen's voice.

He is the husband who has lived with her for seven years.

Gu Mei forgot to breathe for a moment, and something flapped its wings next to her ears, making a buzzing sound.

Outside the cave, Princess Su Xin's unkind voice came.

"There are no other people waiting here. What are you afraid of?"

"I don't care. You and I haven't seen each other for so long. Do you miss me at all? In order to be with you, my princess is willing to hide behind people and watch you marry that bitch Gu Mei..."

Princess Su Xin questioned Xie Wen aggressively with dissatisfaction and jealousy.

"Su Xin, when you agreed to my marrying Gu Mei, you just wanted to see the former pearl of Kyoto fall into the dirt and offend her." Xie Wen said with some impatience.

When Princess Su Xin heard this, she suddenly laughed, then trembled and cried.

"Xie Lang, you are so cruel. I am devoted to you, but you speculate on me like this? Haven't you ever said that you married her to be a cover for us?"

Princess Su Xin's crying became louder, and Xie Wen comforted her tenderly:

"Stop crying. It's all my fault. I'll go to the princess's house to find you at night and apologize to you, okay?"

"By the way, let's try the new trick you mentioned."

Princess Su Xin was coaxed to tears and laughed, followed by the rustling sound of clothes, accompanied by the sound of water squeezing.

Soon the voice of "good husband" came out as if she was sincerely begging for mercy. Xie Wen was very cooperative with her flirting and responded with "loving wife and sweetheart".

Gu Mei felt the buzzing in her ears getting even worse, gradually becoming like numbness and deafness.

Because of Xie Wen's natural castration, she had to bear the bad reputation for seven years. She was a hen that could not lay eggs, but she was still a vicious woman who prevented her husband from taking concubines.

In order to help him cover up, and also for the reputation of the Hou Mansion, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jingan Hou, watched how many bitter medicines he had taken to regulate his body.

She obviously shouldn't take that medicine.

When going out for a party, she often feels breathless due to the pointing eyes of others.

Gu Mei knew for a moment that Xie Wen had such a purpose behind marrying her.

They didn't dare to choose a girl from another aristocratic family, so they settled on her in a precarious situation.

She is just a tool to cover up scandal.

And her death... The mother-in-law forcibly opened her mouth and drank the medicine. What does that sentence that I heard when I was struggling with severe pain in my abdomen mean?

It turns out that all this is just a painting to cover up the ugliness and evil.

Helan Yan stared at the woman in front of him, losing his original vigor. Her eyes were red, just like the juice flowing out from the crushed petals, making people want to break them.

He pinched her chin with his fingers: his voice was low and mocking: "Gu Mei, this is the person you want to marry after betraying me. This is really good."
