Evil Lady: My Hubby is a Traitor - C3
Chapter 3 – Confrontation of Words
The sky turned slightly cold and the Green Pine Academy made a noise. Soon, the door opened from the inside.
Just as the door opened a crack, Gu Yicheng’s hand stopped.
In the dim light, a girl with loose black hair squatted beside a flower bush and carefully pulled it up. She put it aside until she had cleared out a small space. Only then did she stop messing around with the peony.
Yun Qianliang?
Gu Yicheng frowned, he then closed the door, preventing the light in the room from hitting the people around the flowers.
Yun Qianliang brought the lanterns closer, using her hands to dig at the soft soil, while talking to herself.
“Although the reason why you failed to escape is because of me, in the end, this has nothing to do with me. Think about it, if that bastard Gu Yicheng had obediently paid respects to her, you wouldn’t have been chosen, so this is fate! “Since you and I have paid respects before, I will dig a hole and bury you. Then, we will be even.”
Yun Qianliang stopped and looked at the rooster next to his, and could not help but shiver. She quickly put the rooster into the hole and pushed the soil on both sides of the rooster into it, then placed the flower seeds on top of it and kowtowed seriously, “Brother chicken, don’t say it over there, you have a woman here who you have to pay respects to, our races are different, we cannot fall in love.”
If others found out that the rooster on her wedding night had its head chopped off, then she would not only be a notorious evil woman, but would also be described as a ‘husband’.
Yun Qianliang swept the scattered mud on the ground into the flowers so that no one would be able to see what was happening, and then held onto a lantern, she walked to the well in the corner of the courtyard. She used water to wash her hands, and then sprinkled water on the cobblestones on the road.
After settling everything, Yun Qianliang slowly walked back into the house.
The Green Pine Academy was very big, and there were more than enough buildings in two of them. Other than that, the Green Pine Academy was like a small mansion which was fully equipped, and could live here for a long time without leaving the Green Pine Academy.
When they were sent back to the bridal chamber yesterday, the palace’s mama had told her that she would live in the Cloud Water Pavilion, and Gu Yicheng lived in the same place. Although they were in the same courtyard, they were not in the same place.
After entering the courtyard, they were only about ten steps away from each other. After that, they would each walk a different path before returning to their respective residences.
It was good to part ways and not be related to each other.
As he entered the Cloud Water Pavilion, Yun Qianliang heaved a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he saw a large Buddha sitting peacefully in the room.
The red candle was reflected in his perfectly handsome face, and his fine hair fell over his smooth forehead and over his thick and slender eyelashes. His eyebrows, which had been slanted to his temples, were faintly visible beneath the messy bangs of his bangs, and under his tall and straight nose was a sexy mouth the color of a crabapple petal.
Gu Yicheng sat sideways in front of the table, his left hand was placed on the table.
When did this person come?
When she was in the courtyard, for sure someone would notice her walking around. It could only be that when she went to wash her hands by the well, she went from Qing Hu Tong to Cloud Water Pavilion.
After such a short period of time, with a person quietly walking in, Gu Yicheng’s skill was probably not low.
Yun Qianliang pursed his lips, restrained his emotions, blew out the candle flame in the lantern, and walked towards Gu Yicheng.
“Greetings, Lord Prime Minister.” Yun Qianliang kneeled down.
“Yes.” Gu Yicheng swallowed.
Yun Qianliang’s eyes flashed, she did not care about Gu Yicheng’s intention in coming here, she stood straight and walked towards the new house.
“Miss Yun, what do you think of yesterday’s wedding?” Gu Yicheng did not leave, and spoke out before Yun Qianliang returned to her room.
Yun Qianliang laughed out loud, and turned to look at Gu Yicheng with a brilliant smile.
“How was the wedding yesterday? Don’t you have any points in your heart?” Yun Qianliang’s voice was like autumn frost outside the room, clear and cold.
Yun Qianliang looked extremely beautiful, buhee did not look like he was pleasing to the eyes. Outsiders often said that she had the look of a fox spirit, in short, she was far too alluring, as though his actions were too enticing for any man or woman, whether they liked his or not.
At this moment, her words were sharp, and couldn’t help but cause her charming brows to sharpen.
A dark color flashed past Gu Yicheng’s eyes. In the blink of an eye, his eyes turned as deep as ink.
“It doesn’t matter if I know or not. What matters is that the Miss Yun knows her limits.” Gu Yicheng revealed his cards arrogantly, obviously showing that he was doing it to provoke them.
“Then I must trouble you to come and remind me that we are married according to the decree.” Yun Qianliang emphasized the word ‘specially’ with a hint of anger, “Don’t worry, Master Ye. I know how things are with me, and I can’t blame Master Ye for what happened yesterday. If the one who married in yesterday was the Princess Anping, with her noble identity and the support of Duke Ming, if the young master is still unwilling, he would have to give Duke Ming face and settle the rest. ”
“In the end, it’s me who has no power or influence. I admit defeat, but in the end, I have already married into the Gu Xiangfu, and Master Lin will eventually need me, his wife, to appear. There’s still a lot of time between us, and victory and defeat will not be decided in a short period of time.”
Mentioning Xiang Siyu, an impatient look appeared on Gu Yicheng’s face as he slowly turned to look at the lady who was purposely bringing him up.
It was rumored in the capital that this person was arrogant and domineering. He was usually so insolent that he angered many of the capital’s nobles. He did not even know that he was actually proud of this.
But today, she did it on purpose, intentionally disturbing his mood.
Under the red candle, her face was filled with confidence, and her eyes were shining brightly, causing her to shine even brighter, which was very different from the rumors.
Yun Qianliang welcomed that pair of deep black eyes, smiled faintly, and left obediently.
“It’s still early, chenqie will go and get some sleep. I won’t disturb the prime minister’s mood any longer.”
Yun Qianliang turned around, the smile on her face had completely disappeared, and a serious expression appeared between her eyebrows.
She could not offend Gu Yicheng right now, but she could not let others think that she was useless either. Only people with value were worthy enough to protect her, but she had to be on guard against Gu Yicheng’s suspicions regarding her identity.
Borrowing a dead body to repay a soul for an investigation would not reveal any flaws. He was afraid that those in the middle of their power would rather kill than let them off the hook.
She just came back to life not too long ago and had to pay with her life. She couldn’t be that unlucky.
Gu Yicheng did not stay any longer, and stepped out of the Cloud Water Pavilion.
When they saw their master come out, they walked up to him and said, “Master, all the people who were captured bit their tongues and committed suicide. No identity token was found on their bodies.”
“The person is still with me, there’s no need to investigate too closely.” Gu Yicheng walked forward with his hands behind his back, his eyes turned and looked at Cloud Water Pavilion who had stayed up all night, “Gu San, do you think that a person would die so easily, and change his personality afterwards?”
Gu San understood and glanced at Cloud Water Pavilion out of the corner of his eyes. He did not make a decision because of the rumors, so it was hard to say, “This, this subordinate does not know.”
“Then let’s go to the Yun Xiang Mansion to investigate what kind of person this young miss of the Yun Family is, and what her purpose for entering the Gu Xiangfu is.”
It was impossible to play tricks in the Gu Xiangfu without some ability.
