Chapter 408 After the Loyal Servant Stopped Protecting His Master (4)
But neither the Marquis of Lin'an nor his wife expected that Gu Junyue would be with Shuang'er on their wedding night...
Originally, I planned to give Shuang'er to Gu Junyue after he and Su Jinyue consummated their marriage.
But it’s okay.
Su Jinyue probably wouldn't dare to complain.
It's okay if it is.
They don't care.
-
On the second day of her marriage, Su Jinyue came to pay her respects to her parents-in-law.
Gu Junyue, however, brought Shuang'er with him.
Shuang'er followed behind him in a sweet, delicate voice.
Soft and boneless.
Su Jinyue's face paled, and she said in a low voice, "Even if you told me, I would never do such a method to keep a man."
If it were according to her usual personality, Bai Ruofu would have stood up for her and taught Shuang'er a lesson.
But now, she keeps her eyes down and her mind at ease.
It goes in one ear and out the other; I just don't take it to heart.
Not to mention considering Su Jinyue's feelings.
-
Gu Junyue was really into Shuang'er.
But seeing Su Jinyue still made me feel a little guilty.
Alas, how can one find a way to have it all, to be true to her and yet not to betray her?
After all, Gu Junyue was genuinely attracted to Su Jinyue at one point.
But he remembers his first woman even more.
The woman's death made her even more of a cherished memory, like a white moonlight or a cinnabar mole in his heart.
Now that she has met Shuang'er, who resembles her, she showers her with affection, as if this proves how deep her feelings are.
Men, when they're really focused, can even look at a dog with deep affection.
-
After returning from visiting her in-laws, Su Jinyue, being rather dim-witted, couldn't hold back any longer. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she turned around and scolded Bai Ruofu: "Bai Ruofu, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't a servant act like a servant? Or do you want to be the master?"
"How dare you even dream of marrying the young master?"
Bai Ruofu: "..."
No.
How come Su Jinyue has such a vivid imagination?
How can you assume she likes Gu Junyue?
She doesn't want to get close to those philandering men at all, okay?
"Don't think that just because you helped me get close to the young master, you can take his place!"
Su Jinyue punished Bai Ruofu by making her kneel down to reflect on her actions.
The sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain.
Su Jinyue demanded that Bai Ruofu kneel for a day and a night.
The charge against her was disrespect for her master.
This charge is far too far-fetched.
Who in the capital doesn't know that Su Jinyue has a loyal servant, and that servant is Bai Ruofu?
In reality, Su Jinyue was upset that she hadn't stood up for her.
In the past, after Bai Ruofu stood up for her, Su Jinyue would act as the "good Samaritan" again, raising her chin and saying things like, "There's no need for that," or "That's not what I really thought; this girl just did it on her own."
But before Bai Ruofu could kneel down, she heard the voice of the young master, Gu Junyue—
"Su Jinyue! How dare you lie to me!"
He kicked the door open!
"You don't need to kneel anymore. Go and serve my mother. I will have someone give your indenture to my mother later."
"This servant thanks Your Highness!"
Bai Ruofu had been waiting for these words!
As long as her indenture isn't in the hands of the Su family, that's fine.
Bai Ruofu had truly had enough of Su Jinyue's hypocrisy.
-
Gu Junyue dismissed the servants and confronted Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue did not bow to her husband, her face full of arrogance, and said, "Young Master actually saved that lowly servant Bai Ruofu? I really don't understand. In fact, you are the one who is stubborn, heartless and ungrateful, selfish and hypocritical!"
"My beloved young man is long dead. Now, I and the young master gaze at each other with nothing but despair!"
Gu Junyue: "..."
No, what is she saying?
Did he and she have a past?
