Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 1082 The Unfaithful Lover

Gu Yanjin sat down in a chair with a cold face before speaking, "Have you been paying your respects to Madam recently?"

Gu Yanting frowned, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Gu Yanting didn't have any ill feelings towards Jiang Huishu's stepmother; she just thought she was a pitiful person like Jiang Huishu. Gu Yanting not only didn't dislike Jiang Huishu, but even felt a little sorry for her.

People are always judged by comparison. Compared to her stepmother Jiang Huishu, Gu Yanting felt lucky enough. At least in the suffocating Gu family mansion, she had her grandmother to protect her, unlike Jiang Huishu, whose life was truly filled with hardship and adversity.

Although she didn't dislike Jiang Huishu's stepmother, Gu Yanting had no intention of getting close to her. Therefore, since her grandmother had explicitly told her not to pay her respects to Jiang Huishu's stepmother, Gu Yanting had never paid her respects to Jiang Huishu over the years.

“My grandmother once told me that I didn’t need to pay my respects to the madam, therefore…”

“How can a child not pay respects to their elders?” Gu Yanjin interrupted his sister with displeasure. “Although Madam is your second wife, she is still your elder. As her stepdaughter, even if you can’t pay respects every day, you should at least pay respects on the first and fifteenth of each month.”

Gu Yanting almost laughed in anger: "Brother, if you've come to see me today, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush with me. You're a stepson who has never been filial to your stepmother, so what gives you the nerve to lecture me?"

“You…” Gu Yanjin was furious, but although he disliked his younger sister, he could not possibly hit her. Therefore, even though he was angry, he could only hold back. “Go and pay your respects to Madam tomorrow morning, and ask your cousin when she will return to the capital.”

“Cousin,” Gu Yanting looked at Gu Yanjin with suspicion, “Brother came to see me because of Cousin Jiang. Could it be that you have feelings for Cousin Jiang? If that’s the case, I advise you to give up on that idea!”

"After all, Madam would never allow her niece to become her brother's concubine, and if Grandmother finds out about your feelings for Cousin Jiang, then Cousin Jiang will be the one who suffers."

Gu Yanting's words were almost a direct warning: "Don't you dare ruin that girl's life."

Although Gu Yanting hadn't had much contact with Jiang Chunxi and only saw her a few times a year, she could tell that Jiang Chunxi was a good girl and didn't want to see her ruined by Gu Yanjin.

"You..." Gu Yanjin's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, he almost couldn't resist slapping his sister. "Fine, fine, can't I, as your older brother, even order you around?"

"Then do you act like an older brother?" Gu Yanting retorted sarcastically. "Since you've never acted like an older brother, then don't try to act like one now."

"Also, I advise you, brother, to be kinder. Don't go and harm your cousin Jiang. Otherwise, if you cause any serious trouble, the retribution might fall on your head one day, and you'll suffer a terrible death."

"Also, brother, haven't you been getting quite close to that Princess Hua'an lately? Since you already have feelings for Princess Hua'an, why are you still lusting after the beauty of your cousin from the Jiang family?"

"Very well, you really are quite something," Gu Yanjin stood up from his chair and said with a very cold smile, "I really didn't know that my own sister hated her brother so much. This sharp-tongued one even cursed her brother to die."

"Gu Yanting, you really are something else. You truly deserve to be called a jinx who caused your mother's death. Originally, out of consideration for our deceased mother, although I didn't like you, I still cared about you as my sister. But now it seems that there's no need for that at all. From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a sister like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanjin turned and left.

"Miss, the young master is really too much. How could he say such a thing to you?" Gu Yanting's head maid was so aggrieved that her eyes turned red.

"Alright, hold back your tears. I, as the master, don't care. Why are you feeling wronged on my behalf?" Gu Yanting sat down on the chair and sneered. "I have long since given up on my so-called father and brothers, so Gu Yanjin's words can't hurt me at all. Just treat them as barking dogs."

Gu Yanting wasn't really upset. After all, hadn't Gu Yanjin verbally abused her enough times since she was a child? If she didn't learn to let go and instead kept holding a grudge and getting stuck on it, how could she possibly live?

Despite her young age, Gu Yanting is very insightful and doesn't let her age fool you; she's the kind of person who doesn't let herself get hurt internally.

"Go to Madam's place now," Gu Yanting said to the maid. "Tell Madam to keep a close eye on Gu Yanjin, lest he ruin her niece if she's not careful."

"Yes, this servant will go right away." The maid bowed and immediately turned to walk outside.

After hearing what Gu Yanting's maid said, Jiang Huishu was terrified, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Ding Ling personally escorted the maid out and returned to the room. Seeing her mistress trembling with fear, she felt extremely distressed: "When did this young master develop such feelings for our young lady? Wasn't it said that the young master was about to have a good marriage and was very fond of that Princess Hua'an? How could he still have such feelings for our young lady?"

"With our young lady's looks, it's no wonder the eldest young master has such filthy thoughts," Dingxiang said indignantly. "Madam, don't be too afraid. Didn't the old lady and master promise to find a marriage for our young lady?"

"So I don't think he'll let the eldest young master do whatever he wants. As long as you, as his stepmother, are unwilling, I don't believe the eldest young master can force you to become his concubine."

Given the eldest son's despicable thoughts, it's obvious that he only wants to take Miss Cousin as a concubine and has no intention of marrying her.

Of course! Even if the eldest son has the idea of ​​marrying the young lady, that would be even more terrifying.

If the eldest son has such thoughts, then the old lady and the master will definitely not let the lady and the young lady off the hook, and the lady and the young lady will probably have no way out.

“Yes! You’re right, I can’t panic,” Jiang Huishu said, her emotions calming down a bit, but her heart was still pounding. “Do you think I should write back to Jiangnan and ask the Jiang family to find Chunxi a marriage partner there, so that Chunxi won’t come back to the capital.”

Jiang Huishu was well aware of Gu Yanjin's importance in the Gu family. If he insisted on taking Chunxi as a concubine, Gu Bingkun and the old lady would definitely compromise and agree.

"Waaah!" Jiang Huishu burst into tears. "I was so delusional. If the Jiang family knew that Gu Yanjin had those thoughts about Chunxi, they would probably be eager to send Chunxi back to the capital. Even if it was just to be a concubine, the Jiang family would be more than happy to accept it."
