I want to make progress

Chapter 145 Account
Only then did Gu Changting understand what it meant to be talking at cross purposes. Liu's people found the yard and it turned out that they had misunderstood that it was the place where he and Fu'er were having a tryst.

When he breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of guilt rose in his heart. He was indeed sorry for Liu by what happened between him and Fu'er.

"The relationship between Fu'er and I is not what you think. We didn't go to that house to have a tryst. We just had something important to do. You misunderstood."

From the very beginning, Gu Changting had not thought about how long he could keep the affair between him and Shu Yunfu secret. He would not be so irresponsible, nor would he let his woman suffer.

But before that, Liu found out about it, and it almost caused an unmanageable disaster. He had never expected this, but when the time came, Gu Changting didn't think of trying to fool around, so he admitted it after a moment of silence.

This matter was indeed his fault, and he never shied away from the problem.

"Back then at the Shu family..."

Without hiding anything, Gu Changting told everyone what had happened, including how he was drugged at the Shu family, how he had physical contact with Shu Yunfu by accident, and how he later discovered Gu Changheng's secret, which led to the awkward relationship today.

Of course, Shu Yunfu's many plans were not leaked at all. When a meticulous person hides something, it is really difficult to discover the lies.

"She saved me in the beginning. She is mine. I should have brought her back home and given her a legitimate status. It is Chang Heng's fault that things have turned out like this. It is my Duke Ying's Mansion that has let her down. I cannot abandon her."

Liu vented all her anger, and the anger that was stuck in her heart was released. She felt relieved, but she regretted it afterwards. It was nice to feel good for a while, but it was not easy to end it afterwards.

Just when Liu regretted not being able to keep her composure, the truth that Gu Changting told her made her stunned. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns in the story.

It turned out that it was their fault in the end. Not only could they not get rid of that woman, but they also had to accept and understand her husband's guilt and longing for that woman. Otherwise, it would be considered as her being ignorant and unvirtuous.

Compared to her previous rage, Liu felt even more aggrieved now. As the legal wife, she caught her husband having an affair with her cousin's concubine. Not only could she not blame him, she had to understand it, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Seeing her face changing from green to white, Gu Changting just pursed his lips and said, "This is my fault. I'm sorry for you and her, but it's not her fault. Don't be angry with her."

"I already have a solution for this matter in mind. You don't need to worry too much. You are my legal wife, the wife of the Duke of Yingguo, and a first-rank lady canonized by the court. No one can replace you, so don't worry too much."

"me……"

Liu didn't know what to say. She felt upset but had no idea what to do.

"It's just that this is a time of trouble. The emperor has been betrayed and is like a frightened bird. He no longer trusts anyone around him and is increasingly suspicious. Although our Duke Ying's Mansion has made a contribution this time, it's too much."

"Moreover, my second brother has been in constant contact with Lady Su. This time, the Su family betrayed and stabbed King Cheng because my second brother secretly tipped off the king. Although the Su family made the right choice in the end, the emperor is very wise. When he reacts, he will definitely be suspicious. If the matter between my second brother and Lady Su is exposed..."

"The situation is unclear now. The capital is bound to face a bloodbath. If the Duke of Ying's Mansion does not act carefully, it may be destroyed. We must be careful with our words and actions. This is not the time to talk about love affairs. I will give you an explanation for this matter later."

He rubbed his eyes, fatigue enveloped his tall body. This man who stood tall and seemed to be invincible and supported the entire Duke of England's mansion, now looked particularly lonely and tired. "That courtyard is indeed not what you think, but this matter concerns the life and death of the entire Duke of England's mansion. I hope you will never forget that courtyard and never forget that I have ever been there."

The vulnerability only lasted for a moment, and soon Gu Changting restrained this trace of vulnerability and displayed the demeanor of a Duke of England, proud and confident. Everything was in his hands, as if nothing could defeat him.

"Okay! We'll talk about everything after the capital is stable."

Things have come to this point, and Liu has nothing to say. Whether in public or private terms, now is indeed not the time to deal with this matter.

"I am waiting for the Duke's instructions."

Since the Duke has promised to give her an explanation and will not shake her position as the legal wife, she will believe him this time. She hopes that the Duke will not let her down, otherwise she, Liu Xiaoxiao, is not someone who can be easily messed with.

"Come out, she's gone."

After seeing Liu off, Gu Changting looked at the screen beside him and said in a gentle voice, "It's not what we were worried about. Don't worry."

Shu Yunfu walked out slowly from behind the screen. Her expression did not get any better, but instead turned slightly pale.

The matter was of great importance, and Shu Yunfu was worried, so she hid behind the screen and eavesdropped. She was relieved to know that Liu found the small house only because she discovered the affair between her and Gu Changting, not because she knew what she had done. But she really couldn't be happy at the moment.

"Why are you unhappy? Isn't this a good thing?" Seeing that she looked unhappy, Gu Changting was a little worried. He pulled her into his arms and placed his palm on her plump forehead. "Did you catch a cold last night?"

"No, I'm just a little scared."

Pulling his hand down and putting her hand into his palm, she could wrap her whole hand with some space left, which made her feel very safe, but...

She pulled her hand back, pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth, looked up at him, her bright eyes seemed to be covered by a veil, and her eyes were hazy and unclear. "You just said that you would give our Duke's wife an explanation. Tell me, how do you want to explain?"

"I am indeed sorry to my wife, and I should give her an explanation." He held the person in his arms, his arms tightened, and explained with pursed lips, "After all, my wife is my legally married wife. She has given birth to children, managed household chores, and taken care of the elders over the years, and she has never done anything wrong..."

"So...how are you going to deal with me so as to give an explanation to the Duke's wife?"

"I have prepared a new identity for you." Brushing the hair by her ear, Gu Changting patiently explained his plan, "She is the daughter of a fifth-rank minor official. Although her status is a bit low, her identity is clean. This way, you and I can stay together. Your and my identities are hidden dangers after all."

"I will never let you down in this life."

Gu Changting held the person gently in his arms with a smile on his face. He had been thinking about what would happen between the two of them a long time ago, and he never stopped even after discovering many doubts.
