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

Chapter 1102 The Unfaithful Lover 3

"Naturally, it's for my aunt. In order for my aunt to leave the Gu family, that painful cage, I thought of serving the Emperor. Only when I gain power can I help my aunt escape from the Gu family."

Jiang Chunxi then stood up, exuding a powerful aura: "I am now the Empress, and in the future I will be the birth mother of the Emperor. Grand Commandant Gu is a smart man, and he should know how to choose. Otherwise, I'm afraid you, Grand Commandant Gu, will not be able to bear the consequences of angering me!"

Gu Bingkun's mind was completely blank at this moment.

Contraceptive drugs...

Oh right, how could he have forgotten about that?

When he married Jiang Huishu, his mother insisted that Jiang Huishu not have children, fearing that if Jiang Huishu had her own child, she would develop some unwarranted ambitions. Therefore, he tacitly allowed Jiang Huishu to use contraceptives.

He originally thought that as long as Jiang Huishu behaved herself, he would give her a child. However, as time went by, he gradually forgot about the contraceptive.

Jiang Chunxi sat down again: "Grand Commandant Gu, go back and think carefully about what I said. You should know that you are not alone. Before making a decision, you should think more about your family."

"Besides, in your eyes, my aunt is just a substitute for your deceased wife. If she is a substitute, then Grand Commandant Gu can just find another one. There are so many similar people in the world. If Grand Commandant Gu wants to find a few more substitutes to miss his deceased wife, what difficulty could there be?"

“That’s not how it is,” Gu Bingkun defended himself. “Although I did marry your aunt back then because she looked somewhat like my late wife, after more than ten years of being husband and wife, I have long held your aunt in my heart and regarded her as the wife I would spend my life with.”

"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed loudly. "Before Grand Commandant Gu says that, he should go back and investigate properly what kind of life my aunt has lived in your Gu family all these years since she married into it!"

"Guards! Escort Grand Commandant Gu out."

Grand Commandant Gu left Jiang Chunxi's palace in a daze, and not long after he left, the Emperor arrived at Jiang Chunxi's palace.

"I heard you summoned Grand Commandant Gu." The Emperor asked this not out of suspicion, but simply out of curiosity.

“Yes!” Jiang Chunxi took the handkerchief presented by the palace maid and handed it to the emperor to wipe his face and clean his hands. After all, it was the middle of summer and the emperor was covered in sweat after coming in from outside. “Your Majesty, I want Grand Commandant Gu to divorce my aunt, so I have to talk to him in person.”

The Emperor looked utterly astonished: "How could you have such an idea? It's truly..."

It's really shocking.

"Your Majesty, you have no idea what a humiliating life my aunt has endured since marrying into the Gu family." Jiang Chunxi's eyes reddened, and she then embellished her and Jiang Huishu's lives in the Gu family to tell the Emperor.

The emperor was heartbroken upon hearing this and felt contempt for Gu Bingkun. It was one thing for a man to miss his deceased wife and find a substitute, but to make his wife drink contraceptive medicine was simply humiliating.

Husband and wife are one. How can a husband humiliate his wife like this and let his servants follow suit? Does the husband feel any pride in his wife? When a servant insults his mistress, he is indirectly slapping the face of the master.

When Gu Bingkun returned home, he did not go to Jiang Huishu's courtyard. Instead, he stayed in his study until late at night before finally arriving at Jiang Huishu's courtyard.

By this time, Jiang Huishu had naturally already gone to bed. Gu Bingkun did not allow anyone to wake Jiang Huishu, but instead made do with the night on the couch in the outer room.

Of course, Gu Bingkun didn't sleep that night. He left at the crack of dawn the next day. He was on his day off today, so he didn't have to get up so early, but he really didn't know how to face Jiang Huishu.

In short, Gu Bingkun was afraid. He was afraid of getting confirmation from Jiang Huishu that Jiang Huishu's life in the Gu family over the years had indeed been as the Empress had described.

So Gu Bingkun chose to run away. He didn't even dare to let anyone investigate, but at the same time he knew very well that running away was useless. This caused Gu Bingkun immense torment and pain.

When Jiang Huishu woke up in the morning, she felt dizzy and, upon learning that Gu Bingkun had slept on the tatami mat in the outer room the night before, she didn't have the energy to think about it much.

"Madam, I've brought you the medicine." The maid from the old lady's courtyard delivered the contraceptive medicine on time.

Jiang Huishu looked at the dark medicine and her face scrunched up: "Master didn't sleep with me last night, so let's not drink this contraceptive medicine today!"

If it weren't for the severe headache, Jiang Huishu wouldn't have refused to take the medicine. Over the years, Gu Bingkun had stayed at her place, but it was impossible for him to sleep with her every time. However, Jiang Huishu drank all the contraceptive medicine that the old lady had sent.

It's better to avoid trouble, which is why Jiang Huishu drank the contraceptive even though she hadn't slept with Gu Bingkun.

“Madam, please don’t make things difficult for me,” the maid said, her face full of displeasure. “I know that Madam’s status is different now, that you have a niece who is the Empress, but so what?”

"If Madam doesn't drink the medicine the old lady sent, then Madam would be disobedient and unfilial. I suppose Madam doesn't want others to gossip that Her Majesty the Empress has an aunt who is disobedient and unfilial to her mother-in-law!"

"Insolence!" This was Gu Bingkun's furious voice. "Guards! Drag this lowly servant out and beat her to death with sticks!"

The reason Gu Bingkun came to Jiang Huishu's courtyard at this time was entirely because he wanted to verify the matter of the contraceptive.

Although I really want to escape, as I said before, some things can't be escaped just because you want to.

"Master, spare my life!" the maid cried, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

"Hurry up and drag this wretched maid out!" Gu Bingkun roared. As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman who had come in from outside hurriedly dragged the maid out.

Jiang Huishu looked at Gu Bingkun with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why Gu Bingkun was so angry.

Gu Bingkun dismissed Jiang Huishu's two personal maids. Dingxiang and Dingling were reluctant to leave. The master had become so angry for no reason, and they were really worried about the madam. They couldn't bear to let the madam and the master be alone together.

Therefore, the two maids exchanged a glance, but neither of them moved their feet.

"Alright, you guys go and keep watch outside!" Jiang Huishu said.

"Yes." Since the lady had already said so, Dingxiang and Dingling could only retreat helplessly.

After watching Dingxiang and Dingling leave, Jiang Huishu got up and came to Gu Bingkun, forcing a faint, gentle smile: "What's wrong with you today, Master? Why are you so angry?"

"Furthermore, that maid is from the old lady's courtyard after all. It would be inappropriate for the master to execute her!"
