Chapter 41 The Contrived First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts (12)

After a long while, Xu Yushu closed his eyes with difficulty, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness and determination.

He was cursed with a cursed fate since childhood, which caused him to suffer from rumors and gossip, and everyone stayed away from him. Qingyu was the only person he was extremely moved by. If he missed her, he would probably be alone for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Xu Yushu lost all his last bit of kindness. He gently rubbed his fingers, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

"General?"

Seeing that Xu Yushu remained silent, the steward tentatively called out, and then noticed that the former's body stiffened slightly. When he raised his head, the ambition and desire that he could not hide in time startled the steward.

"General, should we send the young master to the Gu family?" The steward asked with a hint of expectation. In fact, many servants in the general's mansion were extremely worried about Qingyu, fearing that she might be hungry or uncomfortable. Therefore, they were eager to know the answer to the steward's question.

If they were allowed to, at least one or two of them would be able to return to the mansion and see the young mistress!

“No need,” Xu Yushu immediately refused.

What a joke! This situation is perfect. The two of them don't know how to develop feelings for each other, so it gives him time to do so.

Upon hearing this, the steward was surprised for a moment, but dared not say anything and immediately turned and returned to the mansion.

Upon arriving at the manor, they saw Xu Qi making a scene, shouting and trying to leave, "How dare you! I am the master!"

"Young master... please don't make things difficult for us..." The servants were almost in tears, but when they saw the steward return, they were all relieved as if they had been granted a pardon.

The steward immediately stepped forward and said solemnly, "Young master, the general said that your old wounds have not healed and you cannot go out."

Xu Qi was almost furious. He had heard from you that Qingyu was almost kidnapped! If he didn't comfort her now, he would be out of a job later!

Before he could say anything, he felt a pain in the back of his head, then his vision went black, and he quickly collapsed to the ground.

"Quickly! Take the young master back to his room!"

At his command, the others immediately carried Xu Qi away.

News of what happened at the General's Mansion quickly reached Li Mingbao's ears. She had just arrived home and was in a state of utter confusion.

Qingyu's appearance disrupted Li Mingbao's plans and his mind.

She dared not delve into her past actions, wondering if she had been bewitched. Come to think of it, Gu Qingyu hadn't done anything wrong in her past life; it was Xu Qi who had wronged her, yet she had preemptively settled scores with Qingyu…

Suddenly realizing these things caused Li Mingbao great pain. She clutched the antidote in her hand, unsure of what to do.

If we give the antidote to the Gu family now, will we gain some understanding?

The light in Li Mingbao's eyes flickered, but in the end, he didn't send it.

She was really scared.

Just then, Hanqiu rushed in from outside. Li Mingbao's heart skipped a beat. "What is it?"

"Miss, Young Master Xu has sent a letter," Hanqiu replied softly, her tone tinged with disbelief.

After all, Xu Qi used to avoid his young mistress like the plague, but now he's actually contacting her on his own initiative?!

Li Mingbao suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise and uncertainty, "Let me see it."

Hanqiu handed over the letter, and Li Mingbao quickly opened it, reading ten lines at a glance.

The handwriting is indeed Xu Qi's, but the tone...

It's quite ambiguous. Given their current relationship, would they really do that?

Li Mingbao remained skeptical, and for some reason, the image of Xu Yushu kept flashing through her mind...

After scheming against Xu Yushu last time, this person has not made any other moves for a long time. He did not show any emotion when he saw me that day. Now, this letter... could it be that Xu Yushu is scheming against me?

Li Mingbao gripped the envelope tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force. She tensed her jaw, feeling as if she had embarked on a path of no return.

"No matter who it is, I am determined to go into this general's mansion."

She muttered to herself, her words startling Hanqiu, who looked on with worry, clutching her handkerchief tightly, and remained silent.

After a long while, Li Mingbao finally calmed down. She looked at the medicine on the table and finally made a decision, "Hanqiu, help me send an invitation to the Gu family. I want to make an appointment with Gu Qingyu."

She paused, then hesitated before continuing, "I'll tell you... I have a way to help her mother with her illness."

Hanqiu lowered her eyes, nodded, but had other thoughts in her mind.

--------------

For several days in a row, Xu Yushu would run to the Gu residence after finishing her work, which made Gu's father go from being surprised at first to being numb at the end.

Even he couldn't help but urge Qingyu, "Go back, or the threshold of your house will be worn down by everyone who comes to visit."

Qingyu chuckled, her smile bright and sweet. "Why does Father look so disgusted? That's the General's Mansion."

“You silly girl, even if you cherish the General’s Mansion, you can’t come here every day. Besides, I heard that General Xu has been dealing with assassins recently, and no one else in the city dares to ask too many questions. If our family stands out at this time, I’m afraid that some people with ulterior motives will talk about us.”

"We're not officials, what are we afraid of?" Qingyu remained unmoved, her tone even more indifferent, which made Gu's father both angry and amused.

He finally understood: his daughter was becoming more and more carefree every day, and he didn't know where she had learned it from.

As the two were talking, someone came to report that Xu Yushu had arrived again.

Before Qingyu could react, Gu's father glared at her and said, "You go and greet him. This is your father-in-law. It's always me who goes. This time, you can experience how to treat people yourself."

Qingyu: "...Father, don't you love me anymore?"

Father Gu hummed, a smile in his eyes, "I'm just training you."

Qingyu was speechless. Seeing that her father was not joking, she could only pout and go to the front hall.

Xu Yushu came to the Gu residence to see his beloved. Although Gu's father always received him, he was unwilling to give up, so he came today.

However, upon seeing the beautiful woman approaching from afar, Xu Yushu immediately stood up, his eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Qingyu? You've finally agreed to see me."

These words sounded strange. Qingyu frowned slightly, sat down at a distance, and gave a haughty snort, "General Xu, you are Qingyu's elder, but I am just going back to my parents' home. Does an elder have to lecture me every day?"

Furthermore, as mentioned before, you cannot invite a woman home without a gift; that would truly be disrespectful to her dignity.

Upon hearing the word "elders," Xu Yushu's expression stiffened. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying to change his wording.

"Speaking of which... I'm not old enough to be Qingyu's father yet..."

Qingyu paused, her hand brushing her hair aside. Her bright eyes turned to Xu Yushu, who straightened his back like a peacock spreading its tail, trying to show off something...

She raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes. "What do you mean by that? Does the General's Mansion intend to divorce me?"

In fact, Qingyu had a certain understanding in her heart that Xu Yushu probably had feelings for her.

I just didn't expect this man to be so willing to abandon his son, even though Xu Qi wasn't his biological son.

"How could this be..." Xu Yushu said in a very soft voice, his words were a denial, but his expression did not. The complicated and conflicted look in his eyes made him look quite strange.

Qingyu didn't want to point out his thoughts, so she changed the subject and asked, "How did things go with the thieves from that day?"

This refers to Yin Han.
