When she got up, she realized that she had indeed eaten too much. She didn't feel uncomfortable in her stomach, but her belly was bulging when she felt it. Shen Guiye's smiling gaze made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Would you like to take a walk in the garden?"
"I still don't want it. Didn't the prince say he would take me to a good place? Let's go now. I can't wait."
Although everyone inside and outside the palace belonged to Prince Heng, Gu Mingmou was unwilling to show her face, hoping that no one would discover her existence. Shen Guiye knew her plan very well and did not give it away. He asked his men to prepare a "simple"-looking carriage. The two of them sat in the carriage and swayed out of the side entrance of the palace.
The two sat side by side in the carriage. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Gu Mingmou turned around and took a peek at the man next to her. She found that he was concentrating with his eyes closed, so he simply secretly opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
After watching it for a while, she felt something was wrong. Why was this the way out of the city
"The prince is leaving the city?" Gu Mingmou couldn't help but ask.
"Um."
Seeing that Shen Guiye had no intention of explaining, Gu Mingmou could only swallow the curiosity in his heart. More than an hour later, the carriage stopped outside a farm. The farm is not big and somewhat remote, and the surrounding scenery is not very good. It does not look like a village owned by a prince.
Gu Mingmou got off the carriage, looked around a few times, and made a conclusion in his mind.
"Let's go."
Shen Guiye walked in front, and Gu Mingmou followed him step by step. There were not many people in the farm, but the farmers who came and went were mostly strong. Although they were carrying hoes, they always gave people a strange feeling.
Gu Mingmou only glanced at it a few times without delving into it. It wasn't until the two of them walked outside a small courtyard that she understood why Shen Guiye called her here today.
Xiuye!
Xiuye today seems to be completely different from a few months ago. At that time, she was just a twenty-eight-year-old girl with a childish look on her face. But now she seems to have been reborn, a little more charming, and her whole body exudes softness. Breath of the air, walking in the yard.
Gu Mingmu's eyes unconsciously fell on her bulging belly. It seemed that she needed to congratulate Qi Lang.
Xiuye didn't notice their arrival. The maid beside her seemed to notice it, but deliberately blocked her sight. After a while, she was helped back to the house by the maid.
.
"The prince called me here just to show me my former maid?"
"Unhappy?" Shen Guiye raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
"...There's nothing to be unhappy about. Didn't the prince tell me earlier? Now I'm just confirming." Gu Ming lowered his eyes. It was impossible to say that he didn't mind at all. One was her maid, and the other was her fiancé whom she had been engaged to since childhood. Not only did the two get entangled behind her back, they also had a child.
She didn't know if the two of them had such a relationship in their previous life, but she knew very well that Qi Lang would not let this child be born. And Xiuye will appear here. It is obvious that Prince Heng does not intend to let Qi Lang's plan succeed.
"That's right. He's not worth your trouble. Your engagement will be terminated soon anyway." Shen Guiye held her in his arms and patted her back, as if to comfort her.
Gu Mingmou buried her head in Shen Guiye's arms and smiled softly. If she didn't know what kind of person the man in front of her was, she would have thought that he was jealous.
It was such ambiguity that made her confused and almost fell into the pit again. I just don’t know if Prince Heng is so gentle when facing Miss Ning
After a while, Gu Mingmou broke away from his arms, "The prince brought Xiuye here because Brother Qi doesn't want this child?"
"Brother Qi?"
Gu Mingmou: My lord, is your focus wrong
"Qi Lang." Due to his gloomy gaze, Gu Mingmou had to change his words.
"It seems you know Qi Lang very well."
"Qi Lang even refused to agree to a marriage proposal from the Jin Palace in order to marry me. Naturally, he would not slap me in the face for a maid." In fact, compared to many young men from aristocratic families, Qi Lang is already considered a good person. If he hadn't been in his previous life The sadness hurt her lungs, maybe she could really endure it. He might also be kept secret from Qi Lang for the rest of his life and live a happy life.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
She was unwilling to wrong herself emotionally in her new life.
Maybe it's because she looks so much like my mother that I can't get the sand out of my eyes. Therefore, neither Qi Lang nor Prince Heng can ever be truly accepted by her.
"Are you touched that he thinks of you so much?"
Gu Mingmou smiled and said, "If he really thought about me, he would not touch my maid." She looked at the man next to her with a very recognizing look in her eyes.
Really, "He's insulting me."
Shen Guiye looked at her more and more deeply and did not ask any more questions.
A few months ago, her thoughts were all about Qi Lang. When she found out that Qi Lang had betrayed her, she softened her heart, but now, she said these words. Did his little girl really like Qi Lang
Recalling what she once said, she wanted her concubine to marry Qi Lang to maintain the relationship between the Gu family and the Yongning Houfu... Maybe Qi Lang didn't mean that much to her.
This means that most of what she said and did before was deceiving him. This realization did not make him feel angry, but made him feel good.
In the past, she was just a little thing he liked. Whoever she was in her heart meant little to him, so he didn't care. Now, he doesn't want her to think about other men. She can only have one man, and that's him. No matter what happens in the future, she only belongs to him.
"Does the prince plan to let Xiuye give birth to the child here?"
"You want her to have a baby?"
Gu Mingmou was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
Her feelings for Xiuye stem from the fact that everyone chose to turn their backs on her in her previous life, but she didn't. But when the truth was revealed, it was full of blood. It turns out that it's not that there was no betrayal, but that she didn't know it.
She never owed Xiuye anything, but Xiuye owed her something. She is not a good man and a woman of faith. She will not take the initiative to deal with Xiuye, but she will definitely not want to see her live well.
If Xiuye gave birth to the child, even if Qi Lang couldn't tolerate her, he would definitely not let the Qi family's flesh and blood wander outside. This was not what Gu Mingmou wanted. Xiuye chose Qi Lang, so she should pay the price for her choice.
"I'll listen to you. Let her go after a while. I believe the wife of the Yongning Marquis Mansion will be willing to preserve her grandson's bloodline."
After listening to Shen Guiye's words, Gu Ming raised the corners of his eyes and raised a sarcastic smile. That madam, she would have almost forgotten if I didn’t mention it. When Mrs. Yongninghou was alive, she tried to interfere in her son's affairs, but unfortunately she failed. Later, she was replaced by Qi Lang. After she became Qi Lang's concubine, the madam packed many women into Qi Lang's room just to let him flourish as soon as possible.
If he knew that his grandson had blood early on, he would definitely try his best to keep the child in Xiuye's belly.
Yongninghou Mansion will definitely be very lively by then, and she is looking forward to that day even more.
