Chapter 164: Medicine for Avoiding Children

Chapter 164

On their wedding night, he had already tried so hard to please her. Could it be that she still did not have any feelings for him? What was this woman's heart made of?

Zhao Changdu snorted coldly, "Humph, aren't you generous."

Gu Ying said innocently, "But I'm doing this for the good of the prince."

Zhao Changdu kept his face stern, "Call me Adu."

Gu Ying looked helpless, "Alright, Adu."

Zhao Changdu's face was increasingly displeased. His thin lips moved closer and nibbled at the corner of her lips. His breathing became heavy, "Don't you think you're being perfunctory with me?"

"That's not true..." Gu Ying frowned in pain. Her small hand hooked around his sturdy shoulders. Her heartbeat skipped a beat as she listened to the mellow voice of the man. She only felt that the big palm at her waist was confining her, like a branding iron.

"Forget it, let's do as you say on this matter."

He moved closer with his lips touching hers. The two soft pieces made one's heart tremble lightly.

Gu Ying's body stiffened and her whole body grew hot. "Prince, I will be a good wife."

Zhao Changdu's eyes were fixed on her deeply. He didn't move. The two of them just stayed like this, lips pressed together, breaths mingling.

Gu Ying let out a gentle "hmm" and closed her eyes.

The man leaned on her shoulder and kissed her neck lazily. His voice was muffled and unclear, "I have already repaid her kindness with my life when I was fifteen. Just do your best."

Gu Ying's thoughts drifted away lightly. Her waist felt soft and numb. But her mind was thinking, did the prince really only feel grateful to Huo Qiyun?

"Adu, about my brother..."

"We'll go get him when we return."

Gu Ying's eyes turned moist, "Okay."

In the end, thinking about how delicate her body was and she had just lost her virginity, the man only nibbled on her for a while before letting her go.

Listening to the trickling water sound from the pure room.

The heat on Gu Ying's face still hadn't faded. Ever since she found out he was that little boy from her childhood, she had felt a little different towards him. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

But this difference was still not enough to dispel her distrust towards the man.

Good things seldom last, colorful clouds scatter easily, glazed tiles break.

In her previous life, she had learned one thing through blood and tears - a man's love was the most fragile thing in this world. Before loving others, she had to love herself more.

While the prince was away, Yin Lan tiptoed in sneakily, hiding a small exquisite purple sandalwood box in her arms. "Mistress, do you still need the foetus stopping pills? This was bought by the servant from a medicine shop outside, no one in the manor knows."

...

After a night of stormy winds and rain,

Gu Ying opened her eyes, her face still flushed. She felt soft all over her body.

On the other hand, a certain someone was still full of energy.

Fortunately his mood had inexplicably improved a lot. At least the coldness was gone from his body. He even cupped her face and praised her for looking extremely beautiful today.

Gu Ying didn't know where she had offended him. Supporting her waist, she got up and continued to vex Cheng.

At breakfast, Cheng insisted that she serve the dishes to her, and could not put them on the table. She had to stand beside her and serve her.

But Gu Ying refused.

"I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, I only need to serve the people of the Zhao family. But Mother's surname is Cheng, so why should I serve you too?"

"What are you saying? When I married into the Zhao family, I became one of them. Why shouldn't you serve me?"

"But Mother's surname is Cheng."

"So what if my surname is Cheng?"

"Mother's surname is Cheng, and you didn't give birth to the prince. Naturally you're an outsider."

"Gu Ying, are you insisting on being unreasonable like this?"

"Everything A Ying says and does is according to the rules the prince gave. If Mother feels it improper, you might as well ask the prince to come and listen, see if A Ying did wrong. If it's A Ying's mistake, A Ying will immediately apologize to Mother."

These words nearly made Cheng blow her top.

Today Huo Qiyun was at the side watching the fun, a rare occasion where she was ignored by Cheng.

The two women walked out of Baomo Hall hand in hand.

Huo Qiyun concealed the envy in her eyes. "A Ying, who taught you all this?"

Gu Ying smiled. "Learned it myself. I used to be subservient, what I got was being trampled by others. When I hardened my attitude, I realized - this world oppresses the meek, the poor, those without a temper. But everyone fears the tough, the reckless, the unyielding."

Huo Qiyun listened with envy. She had been buried in prestigious families all her life. In the past there was a period where she was doted on by her family. But after her mother passed away, besides Lv Zhi, no one else in the household cared about her anymore.

She was the legitimate daughter, yet she could not be as free and unfettered as Gu Ying.

"Aren't you worried about your reputation?"

Gu Ying smiled, "How much better could my reputation be? Since it's like this, might as well ruin it completely. Those who believe in me will not misunderstand me because of other people's gossip."

Huo Qiyun said, "I heard people in the household say that Cheng made them spread rumors about you being disrespectful. Now in Bianjing, everyone is scolding you...arrogant and overbearing, arrogant and conceited...lacking morals, completely unworthy to be the Zhao family's wife. Some even said...they wanted to see you discarded by Adu...no...the prince."
