Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 340 Confrontation

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan went with You Yu to see the child.

During this period of time, she has been very dependent on Wangqiu.

When Xiaoshui saw Gu Qingyuan coming, she looked at her curiously.

Gu Qingyuan said to Wang Qiu, "Bring her over here."

Although Wang Qiu didn't understand what Gu Qingyuan was going to do, he still took Xiaoshui over.

When she reached Gu Qingyuan's side, she grabbed Wang Qiu's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

Wang Qiu had no choice but to coax her: "This is Young Master Gu, she won't hurt you."

After hearing Wang Qiu say this, she slowly let go of the hand that was holding Wang Qiu's sleeve and turned to smile at Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan came over to confirm whether there was really poison in her body.

After she came over, Gu Qingyuan asked You Yu to hold her down. Then, she asked Xiaoshui to open her mouth and looked at her tongue.

Then she tried to feel Xiaoshui's pulse, her brows furrowed.

Wang Qiu was a little worried when he saw Gu Qingyuan like this. He couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Gu, what happened to this child? Is she in a bad condition?"

For so many days, he has been taking care of Xiaoshui by his side and never letting her eat anything she shouldn't. Moreover, the child is in good health and has basically never been sick.

But why did Young Master Gu frown when he felt her pulse? Could there be something wrong with the child?

The more Wang Qiu thought about it, the more nervous he became.

"No."

Gu Qingyuan just felt confused.

According to the Fourth Princess, there are toxins in Xiaoshui's body, and these toxins will affect her body.

But after checking Xiaoshui's mouth and taking her pulse, she found that she was in perfect health. Or was there something she had missed?

Xiaoshui ran from them to Wangqiu and lay in his arms.

"The child is in good health." Gu Qingyuan said truthfully.

Hearing her say this, Wang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiaoshui in his arms.

But at the same time, she had to believe what the Fourth Princess said.

Therefore, Gu Qingyuan turned around and went out to meet the Fourth Princess in the basement.

The fourth princess had been imprisoned and could no longer tell whether it was day or night.

At this time, the door of the basement opened and bright light came in. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the person who came was Gu Qingyuan.

"What are you here for?"

She leaned against the hay, too lazy to even move.

Gu Qingyuan asked straight to the point: "What kind of poison did you put on her?"

The Fourth Princess said sarcastically, "If Young Master Gu wants to know, he can just go and investigate it himself. Why ask me? Besides, Young Master Gu has a great reputation, so how could he not be able to find out such a small matter? If so, I really think too highly of you."

"Cut the nonsense."

Gu Qingyuan drew his sword and pressed it against her chin, his eyes fixed on her expression.

"Actually, you didn't poison Xiaoshui in the first place, right?"

The fourth princess' heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've already said that the poison in her body is only detoxified by me."

Gu Qingyuan sneered, "I just took her pulse. Not only is there no poison in her body, but she's actually very healthy. If you really poisoned her, how could she grow so fast?"

The Fourth Princess's face showed panic. "I'm sure I poisoned her. She won't live long!"

"Do you hate her so much? Why do you still keep her?"

"Yes, I do hate her. I only keep her to avenge myself on the princess."

At this moment, Xiaoshui's voice came from outside the basement, "Mom..."

It turned out that Wangqiu appeared outside holding Xiaoshui at some point.

The fourth princess was startled, unsure how long they had been out there.

Wang Qiu pressed Xiao Shui's outstretched hand back, and You Yu was standing next to him.

Although Xiaoshui is young, he can still understand the meaning of some words.

She had just heard her mother say that she hated herself.

She couldn't help crying in Wangqiu's arms, and her tears wet the clothes in front of him.

Gu Qingyuan curled her lips and smiled. Since Xiaoshui had been so dependent on the Fourth Princess before, let her listen to what the Fourth Princess had to say today.

Having achieved his goal, Gu Qingyuan put away the sword in his hand.

However, when the Fourth Princess saw the basement door opened, she pushed Gu Qingyuan away like crazy and tried to run outside.

Gu Qingyuan didn't even need to say anything, You Yu at the door easily stopped her.

"Let me go!" the fourth princess struggled.

However, You Yu was well prepared. After pinning down the Fourth Princess, You Yu tied her up and threw her inside.

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan left the basement with them.

Xiaoshui felt very disappointed when she heard the Fourth Princess say that she hated her and even mentioned revenge.

Then, Wang Qiu brainwashed her.

"Little Shui, she's not your biological mother. It was because of her that you and Dad separated."

"Yes, is that so?" she asked with sobs.

Gu Qingyuan and You Yu beside them said in unison: "That's right."

It is never a good thing for her to rely on the Fourth Princess like that.

Although the Fourth Princess treated her well, her purpose was to use Xiao Shui to take revenge on the Princess.

If this continues, who knows what Xiaoshui will become because of her.

After Gu Qingyuan confirmed that Xiaoshui was not poisonous, he secretly felt relieved.

Now, they can take action against the Four Princesses.

After getting rid of her, Gu Qingyuan had her body buried.

She had instigated the Third Princess to attack their Gu family, so Gu Qingyuan was merciful in leaving her body intact.

Now Xiaoshui knew that the Fourth Princess was just using her and that she was not her biological mother. Gradually, she stopped making a fuss about looking for the Fourth Princess.

Not long after returning from Tianji Pavilion, people from the palace arrived.

The princess led the troops outside the general's mansion and said coldly, "General Gu, you secretly led the troops into the palace and took away the queen mother. How bold!"

Gu Qingyuan also went to the general's mansion and confronted the princess's men.

The people around were talking about it. Seeing that the general's mansion was full of people, they wondered in their hearts, is General Gu really going to hold the emperor hostage in rebellion?

But they did not dare to go forward, and were even afraid that they would be implicated. So they closed the doors and windows of their house and stayed away from the general's mansion and the princess.

Not long after, General Gu appeared. He looked at the princess at the door and said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask your Highness what your intention is. You poisoned His Majesty in the palace, and now, I have only rescued His Majesty."

"Stop talking nonsense! Today, this princess will take the Queen Mother away!"

The people brought by the princess started fighting with the people from the general's mansion.

Gu Qingyuan hurried over to help and joined forces with the people from the General's Mansion to fight against the princess.

The princess brought quite a few people, but General Gu had rich combat experience, and the people she brought could fight one against a hundred. When Xia Zhi thought that they were the ones who killed Dong Zhi, hatred rose in his heart.

Soon, there were several bodies lying on the ground.
