"Even now, you still want to enjoy the blessings of the Qi Clan. I'm afraid you won't be able to do so."
Xiao Hai raised the cup in his hand and sneered at Duan Chengxuan. The Tong Zhou ship beside him slightly frowned as if it was slightly dissatisfied, and only snatched the cup from Xiao Hai. "If I were to exchange my life for one, then I might as well not exchange it."
Xiao Hai's eyes widened, but he did not snatch the cup from Tong Zhou's hand.
Only Duan Chengxuan sat on the main seat and drank cup after cup of wine as he looked at Xiao Hai and the Tong Zhou boat.
He had never thought that he would come to discuss matters of the heart with his brother.
After chatting for a long time, there was no conclusion to it. Instead, he was half drunk and only bid farewell to Xiao Hai before arriving at Phoenix Cry Garden. He was already used to sharing the bed with Gu Danyan.
Lying on the bed, the person in front of his eyes was a bit blurry. He had even forgotten that the person was pregnant.
He only remembered that Gu Liuyan was very passionate tonight.
The sun rose over the mountains and the sun rose.
The room in front of him was Phoenix Cry Garden's, causing him to be unable to refrain from feeling a wave of dizziness. He could only blame the wine that the Tong Zhou ship had brought him yesterday for being too strong, but he had a light arm around his waist.
"You're awake?" Duan Cheng Xuan said in a light voice.
When she slept with Gu Mingyan, she would wake up early and sleep very lightly. Every time Duan Chengxuan moved, Gu Danyan would always wake up, but today, he was surprised.
Was she that passionate because she was sleeping so soundly?
However, when he grabbed the wrist, he suddenly sat up on the bed and pressed the person beside the pillow onto the bed.
"Your Highness!" Gu Zixian cried out in shock, feeling as though his hand was about to break.
Lan Chengshan, who was at the door, rushed in upon hearing the news. When he saw Gu Zixian, he immediately rushed over and knelt on the ground, "My lord, please show mercy. In the end, Miss is still your concubine."
The word 'concubine' caused Duan Chengxuan to wake up.
When he saw that the person was only wearing inner clothing, Duan Chengxuan immediately let go of his hand and got up from the bed. He only felt that the redness on the bed was extremely dazzling.
Cheng Shan also widened his eyes as he looked at everything in the room. He could not help but glance at the plaque outside the courtyard before quickly kneeling down. "This subordinate does not know why Second Madam is here either!"
Duan Cheng Xuan rubbed her forehead. "Gather thirty staves!" Have all the ghosts come over here and keep an eye on her movements day and night. If something like that happens again, we won't let them off lightly! "
"Prince …" Gu Zixian only called out softly as he pulled the blanket, his eyes filled with tears, "Yesterday, I only saw that Phoenix Cry Garden was in a depression while my elder sister had a child. That's why I exchanged with my elder sister."
Since even a woman had such an explanation, Duan Chengxuan didn't blame her in the slightest. Instead, his face sank. "Where's the wangfei?"
"It should be in my Clearwind Courtyard." Gu Zixian's tears finally fell.
Duan Chengxuan wasn't a person who cared about the fairer sex. When he saw Gu Zixian's pretentious look, he immediately turned cold and dragged the person out of the bed. He only scared Lan Lan to the side and quickly held Gu Zixian in his embrace, not daring to make a sound.
"Cry what are you crying for? If you try any more petty tricks in the future, don't blame This King for being impolite!" Duan Chengxuan only received the outer garment from Cheng Shan and hastily put it on before walking out.
Gu Zixian was extremely frightened, the area that Duan Chengxuan had pulled on earlier was in an excruciating pain as though it was being torn apart. Tears fell from his eyes, falling onto the ground with a plop.
Lan immediately held Gu Zixian's hand and couldn't help but say, "Miss, don't worry. Cheng Shan also specifically mentioned that you're the second wife. As long as everything is done well, there won't be any problems."
"If Your Highness knew the blood on the bed …" Thinking up to here, Gu Zixian couldn't help but shiver in fear. He could only flip his fingertips over, and there was a small bloody wound there.
Alain quickly covered his mouth. "Miss must not tell anyone else about what happened yesterday."
"Alan, what exactly do you want me to do?" Gu Zixian bit his lower lip unwillingly, his hands were ice-cold, thinking of what happened last night, he was actually drenched in cold sweat.
This wasn't the first time Duan Chengxuan had thrown him off the bed this morning.
Last night, it wasn't easy for her to finally be able to comfortably lie by Duan Chengxuan's side, and she actually didn't do anything.
"Madam Gu once said that you are not the main wife. If you want to gain a foothold in Prince Jing's estate, you must take the risk." Lan just held her hand and smiled. "It's enough for tonight."
At this moment, within the Pure Wind Garden.
Gu Dai Yan was still holding a bowl of hot soup in her arms, worrying that the maidservant in the yard hadn't brought over the chopsticks, but she couldn't see it clearly and was still unsettled, so she let Qing Dai go to the Hall of Healing. Now, in front of this hot soup, other than a few mouthfuls of soup, there didn't seem to be any other use for it.
Just as he was thinking about it helplessly, the light in front of him was suddenly hidden.
"Did you bring the chopsticks?" Gu Liuyan blankly raised his head, then when he caught sight of the silhouette of the figure in front of him, he was slightly stunned: "Duan Chengxuan?"
"You actually recognize him!" When Duan Chengxuan saw her sitting on the stone chair with the hot soup noodles in his hands, he restrained his temper and didn't dare make a move. He only glared at Cheng Shan, who was beside him, who quickly ordered some people to bring the soup spoon and chopsticks over.
Duan Chengxuan sat down and placed the bowl of hot soup he was holding onto the table. "Yesterday …"
"In any case, I can't serve you, and since you let Zixu enter the mansion, I feel that there's nothing that I can't do."
"So it turns out that you can so easily give This King to someone else!"
Duan Chengxuan suddenly slammed the table, causing all the people from the Pure Wind Garden to kneel on the ground. Gu Danyan was also shocked.
However, when he finally reacted to the meaning of the sentence, Gu Pingyan could only open his mouth slightly, unable to say a single byte.
Duan Cheng Xuan's intention was …
"This King has forgotten that you are a heartless woman." Duan Chengxuan's tone suddenly changed to one of a mocking smile.
The hot soup noodles on the table were scattered all over the floor, and even the fragments of the bowl were at Gu Daiyan's feet.
Gu Mingyan's fingers, which had been warmed by the hot soup noodles, instantly turned cold. She tightly clenched the corner of her clothes and tightened them several times until Duan Chengxuan reached the entrance of the courtyard. Only then did she let go and softly say, "Your Highness has already seen clearly that Yan'er is only a cold-hearted woman."
Duan Chengxuan paused at the door and was silent for a long time.
"What I hate the most is a heartless girl like you."
As he finished speaking, the autumn wind blew gently, and the only sounds that could be heard were those of small pieces.
Gu Pingyan only brushed the hair by his ear, his white fingertips clamped onto the clothes in front of his chest. His nose was sore, and he said softly: "Then why did you come and hurt my heart?"
