My husband is a traitor

Chapter 273 Falling into Mud

Because Gu Mingzhu's matter was special, Qi Rui made a decisive decision and decided to return to Lin'an to deal with the matter.

Although Rong Jue and Jiang Linlang regretted not being able to find the entrance to the underground palace, they had no choice but to pack their bags and go back together in order not to arouse suspicion from others.

"Actually, we don't have to go back in such a hurry, just say that I'm not in good health?" Jiang Linlang couldn't help but said while eating the fruit.

Rong Jue shook his head, "This thorn, we can't get rid of it." The corners of his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flickered past.

When Jiang Linlang heard this, she was immediately happy. What does this mean?
Compared with finding the entrance to the underground palace, Rong Jue cares more about expressing this anger for her!

While eating the fruit, she said with a smile, "You are so kind, Mr. Xiang!"

Knowing what she was imagining, Rong Jue couldn't help pouring cold water on her, "You're alive and kicking, it's unbelievable to say that you're recovering from your injuries. What's more——"

"For the matter of the underground palace, there is no rush."

After being splashed with cold water, Jiang Linlang couldn't help curling her lips, snorted, and bit the fruit bitterly, "Will you lose a piece of meat if you say something I like to hear?"

"Well, my conscience is hard to rest." Rong Jue took over the conversation calmly and choked to death.

"Do you still have a conscience?" Jiang Linlang threw the fruit core, and after a beautiful parabola, the core fell precisely into the trash can she created, "The funniest joke of the year."

"..."

Jiang Linlang didn't seem to want to go back, Rong Jue couldn't help but frowned, "There's still a chance, let's play with you."

He thought that Jiang Linlang hadn't soaked enough in the hot springs and eaten enough of the fruits and vegetables here.

Hearing this, Jiang Linlang paused when she was packing her luggage. She pressed the folded clothes, and there was a moment of silence, her eyes dimmed.

But soon, she teased with ease as usual, "All right, you mean what you say."

Rong Jue didn't answer.

An Yi's voice came from outside, "Master, madam, the carriage is ready."

"Well, let's go." Rong Jue handed the luggage to An Yi, then turned around and helped Jiang Linlang pack her little luggage a few times.

Although he is fastidious and picky, it is precisely because of this that he packs things quickly and well, so that no one can find a single mistake.

After getting into the carriage, Qi Rui waited for everyone to get on the carriage and got ready, and then told the guards in front, "Let's go."

As for Gu Mingzhu, being watched by several maidservants, she sat quietly in the car, motionless.

"Miss, eat something." Seeing her not eating, drinking or talking, her servant girl was afraid that if something bad happened to her, she would not be able to save her life if she went back. Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she took the bowls and chopsticks to feed her. .

Gu Mingzhu turned her face away silently, she hadn't eaten or drank for two days, I don't know if her quietness at this time was because she had given up her mind to stop making trouble, or it was because she hadn't eaten for a long time and had no strength.

But at least, her quietness gave her guards a sigh of relief.

The servant girl was helpless, and ran to ask Qi Rui for instructions, but the latter just frowned slightly, closed the book in his hand, "Force her to eat."

Her face was warm and clear, but her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat alienated and indifferent.

The servant girl was taken aback for a moment, as if she thought she had heard it wrong, and then she heard His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, who was always gentle and good-tempered, say coldly, "It's fine if you don't die, go."

It's fine if you can't die.

These five words made the servant girl startled, and she immediately understood this man's attitude.

Now, in the team, King Xiao is in charge, but he has always loved Miss, and King Xiao, who is the most able to persuade Miss, has such an attitude, let alone other people?
The servant girl returned to the carriage helplessly, so she had no choice but to tell Qi Rui's words to the maid in charge of guarding Gu Mingzhu.

The palace servants looked at each other in embarrassment, then gritted their teeth, one pressed Gu Mingzhu's arm, and the other picked up some vegetables, and forced them into Gu Mingzhu's mouth.

Gu Mingzhu didn't check for a while, and her mouth was pried open.

She struggled a bit, but for a young lady who hadn't eaten any rice, she didn't have the strength to resist at all.Her maid just watched in bewilderment, but did not dare to move because of Qi Rui's order.

Gu Mingzhu felt like a prisoner, her arm was held down by the palace maid, and she was forcibly fed with food.

She thought she wouldn't cry, but the red and swollen eyes still shed tears sourly.

Sadness, humiliation, hatred, tears.

In just a few days, she fell from the high peony flower to a branch, was trampled under her feet, and was crushed into a pile of mud.

She felt dirty, she was a scandal, a joke.

She failed to harm others, but instead harmed herself to such an extent, Gu Mingzhu whimpered softly like a small animal, tears blurred her vision, her fingers that had just been bandaged curled up again, and ruthlessly grabbed the blanket under her body .

I just feel that these lowly maidservants in front of me are cleaner than her, and they dare to look down on her and mock her.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the days of being so muddled like a prisoner on death row have passed.

She heard the servant girl say that the Duke's mansion has arrived.

Her gray eyes lit up for a moment, she thought of her mother, and she was about to laugh, but she looked down at herself again, she clutched at her hair in dismay, and grabbed a strand of hair regardless of the pain...

No, she doesn't want to go home.

"No, no, turn around! Turn around!" Her voice was so hoarse that she slapped the wall of the car. Over the past few days, she was haggard and thin, not like that noble noble lady.

She yelled hoarsely, but no one listened to her, and she was helped out of the car.

She was so flustered that she didn't dare to look up, but she heard her father's angry and restrained voice——

"Bastard, quickly help the eldest lady in!"

But what about mother?
There is no mother's voice.

Gu Mingzhu raised her head in panic, and saw the familiar Duke's Mansion in front of her, but it didn't seem to be. The servants had sad faces on their faces, and a maidservant of her familiar mother was wiping tears and looking at her with complicated eyes.

"Where's mother?" She opened her mouth, her voice was ugly, hoarse and congested.

Her face must be even uglier, because she saw the surprised and distressed eyes of her mother's maid.

Gu Mingzhu hated this look so much, she shouted, "Where's mother!"

"Snapped--"

However, what responded to her was Gu Shengchang's furious slap in the face.

Gu Mingzhu was beaten to the side of her head, and Gu Minglan followed behind. Seeing this, she couldn't help but yelled, "Father, calm down, Eldest Sister is still weak, let's talk about what goes in."

Her empathy made Gu Shengchang's sharp eyes lighten a bit, but Gu Mingzhu didn't buy it, she hated Gu Minglan, and even hated her face——

"Get out, I don't need your fake kindness! Dad, where is my mother? Where is my mother? Tell me!" Being helped into the door of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Mingzhu asked Gu Shengchang, her face blushing and swollen.

Gu Shengchang stared back at her viciously, "Do you still have the face to ask your mother? No, your mother is going to be mad at you!"

"What?" Gu Mingzhu staggered in disbelief, and with the help of the maid, she managed to stand still. She shook her head eagerly, "No, I want to find my mother, don't stop me, let me Go see my mother! Mother—"

She burst into tears and cried hoarsely.
