After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 333

He was not a lustful man, but facing his Ah Ying, his self-control would also be greatly discounted.

Gu Ying had long been tired and fell asleep, and did not hear his words at all. Her head leaned on his chest, listening to his steady, slow heartbeat, sleeping very sweetly.

Zhao Changdu neither slept horizontally nor vertically. Half of his body leaned on the pillow, recalling her question before going to bed that day.

If there was no her Gu Ying in this world, who would he marry as his wife?

He thought about it wholeheartedly for a long time. He probably had no one he liked, so he would most likely grow old alone. But who in the world would be willing to endure endless loneliness and solitude?

He was grateful that there was a Gu Ying in this world, and he was also grateful that she appeared in his life.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to caress her smooth black hair. His fingers hooked up and entangled her hair with his own.

He would not let Ah Ying leave him. They would be together for life after life.

...

After another three to five days, Hai Tang had become familiar with Granny Wang. Soon, Hai Tang became Granny Wang's "own person" who she bribed with jewelry.

Granny Wang also gradually lowered her guard, thinking that she had finally found a breakthrough in Changfeng Pavilion, and could finally send news to the inside of Changfeng. Cheng's tense nerves also relaxed a lot.

On this day, Hai Tang brought a yellow medicine bag from Granny Wang.

Gu Ying sat at the case and flipped through books, just looking at the page on Nanjiang's Gu poison.

Hai Tang then entered the room under the lead of Yin Lan.

"Mistress, Hai Tang is here."

Hai Tang had been serving in the small kitchen. She was a person bought back by the prince from outside. Without going through Cheng's hands, she had a kind and lovely personality. Her fair, round little face had two big pear vortexes. When she smiled, she was sweet and lovely, really like her name, white with a touch of red, like a blooming crabapple blossom.

While flipping through the book, Gu Ying casually said, "How is it going?"

Hai Tang took out the medicine bag from her sleeve and crisply said, "Reporting to Mistress, this is from Granny Wang for the maid to put in the food for Granny Sun. Mistress, please take a look."

Gu Ying took the medicine bag and carefully identified it, "It turned out to be chronic poison."

Hai Tang said, "Granny Wang said Cheng wanted Granny Sun to 'die ill' in Changfeng Pavilion. Then find an excuse to come and trouble the mistress."

Gu Ying chuckled lightly, "No time to play with Cheng like this. Change it to a deadly poison."

Hai Tang respectfully took the medicine handed over by Yin Lan and neatly tucked it into her arms, "Mistress, then the maid will go now."

"Mm."

...

In the evening, the woodshed behind the backyard of Changfeng Pavilion.

The sky was gloomy, the sun obscured by clouds. It looked like it would rain soon.

No lights had been lit in the yard today. In the dilapidated woodshed behind the main building, the light was dim. The gloomy wind outside the door blew, making people shudder.

It should have been a good time in April with gentle breeze and warm weather, but the weather was really bad today. With no one coming to light the lamps, it made the woodshed even more creepy.

Granny Sun had been locked up here for several months. She couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to scold people. Before, Cheng had people take good care of her, so she just ate, drank, slept peacefully, taking it as a vacation.

But after she was transferred to Changfeng Pavilion, her days became worse and worse.

The mistress's people were not allowed to come in and bring her food. The little feet in Changfeng Pavilion would only give her steamed buns and watery veggies to eat. Sometimes they didn't even give her water, so in the winter she could only scrape snow from the window sill to quench her thirst.

After all, she was an elderly serving the wife of the Duke. How dare these cheap feet treat her so disrespectfully!

She had lost her temper several times, and the people at Changfeng Pavilion had become a little more restrained.

Later she heard that the prince had returned to Bianjing from disaster relief in Yueyang. As soon as the princess recovered, she began to come and cause trouble for her, even allowing people under her to starve Granny Sun for several days.

Now she had been tortured into mental breakdown, weak all over. The princess still came to ask her about things from back then many times.

Back then, not even the Duke knew about those things. What could this young girl know?

Granny Sun sneered inwardly. The princess deliberately tried to trick her. Did she really think her old mind had become muddled?

Although afraid of death, in order to wait for the mistress to save her, she could only grit her teeth and refuse to speak.

But recently, she didn't know why, but the people sent by Granny Wang had increasingly strange expressions. When they looked at her, their eyes were full of pity and sympathy.

She grabbed the girl named Hai Tang and told her to send a message to the mistress, swearing that she had absolutely not betrayed the mistress and to quickly come save her.

But when Hai Tang came back, she spoke evasively, insisting that the mistress would come save her, but these days had passed and not only did the mistress not send someone, she even heard the conversation between Powder Rouge and several cleaning women.

It turned out that the mistress thought she had told the princess something...

At that time, Granny Sun was a little panicked in her heart. Ever since she entered the Duke's mansion, she knew the mistress's methods - seemingly gentle and charitable but actually ruthless and unrelenting.

Those who knew about things back then had unfortunate accidents and died. If not for her swearing to keep her mouth shut like a bottle and stay in the Duke's mansion unmarried for life, the mistress might not have spared her old life.

Now... She was imprisoned here, and the mistress didn't know the inside situation of Changfeng Pavilion. She was afraid the mistress would misunderstand that she had betrayed and sold her out.

Thinking of this, Granny Sun crawled up from the damp hay with hands and feet. Limping and staggering, she crawled to the door.

Through the crack in the door, she saw Hai Tang carrying a lamp and hurriedly walking over with a food box. Her face was slightly pale.

Granny Sun was stunned. This scene made her realize something. Back then when she was ordered to send others away, she would be like this too. But after all she was someone who had experienced ups and downs. She didn't react much, but instead went back to sit on the haystack from the door.

Soon after, Hai Tang had the door of the woodshed opened.

"Granny Sun, come and eat quickly. Tonight Granny Wang specifically let me prepare pigeon soup for you. She said this food is best for the body. You've been locked up here for so long, your body must need nourishment."

As Hai Tang spoke, she put down the food box and squatted halfway to take out the soup bowl, squeezing out a reluctant smile, "Granny Sun, what's wrong? Are your legs and feet still uncomfortable? Do you want me to bring some medicinal ointment from outside tomorrow?"

Granny Sun's mouth curled into a smile. Hobbling over to the food box, she pretended to be indifferent, "Hai Tang, you really went through a lot of trouble. Did Granny Wang say anything else? Any message from the mistress?"

Hai Tang carefully glanced outside the door, lowered her voice and said, "Granny Wang said the Baomo Hall side told Granny Sun to keep patient."

Granny Sun immediately flared up, "What time is it now? How can I keep patient? That princess is about to torture me to death!"

As time went by, she would become an abandoned pawn. This reasoning was clear to all women who had lived in mansions.

She didn't want to die yet!
