The child in Gu Zi's stomach is not yours.
She couldn't even say these words out loud with her thick skin. Furthermore, she had been in the same boat back then as well. In the end, she felt somewhat guilty.
A trace of haze flashed across Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes, then she took a letter from a drawer and placed it on the table.
"Can this matter be compared to a few years of revenge?"
The man's voice was low and full of anger.
Gu Danyan lowered her head and opened the letter. It seemed like a long time had passed since the letter had been written. However, she had yet to follow the official document to Erdan. She must have only found out about it in the past two days.
The letter inside explained what Gu Zixian did that year, and even found the dead child's real father.
"I know." Gu Daiyan braced himself and looked him in the eye: "You are not considered old age because of this. If you really want to have your own child, then I …"
"You are always so businesslike. When the time comes, I will be the one feeling sorry for you." Duan Chengxuan didn't expect that she would so calmly use him to repay this debt. His rough fingers caressed the gaps between her fingers as he gently placed it in his hands, "Your body isn't well yet, so even if you want me to, you won't be allowed to get pregnant. Moreover, I hope that you can remove the knot in your heart first."
"I thought you wanted it." Gu Xuan Yan suddenly let out a sigh of relief and quietly pushed the letter back, "This matter is my fault. What do you want?"
"I want you to follow me closely."
"Impossible, I still need to bring Phantom Demon out to take a look."
"Then bring me."
"…" Gu Danyan stared blankly at him and said, "I promised to only accompany Spiritualist and Fairy. In the future, I will not be able to get too far away from them."
At this moment, Duan Cheng Xuan nodded her head and placed another letter of rest on the table. "Go and help her find a good wife."
"I know, I will tell her." Gu Danyan accepted the letter.
Duan Chengxuan knew that Gu Danyan had no intention of going to Yan City, but now that he had accepted the letter of rest, he naturally had to make a trip to Sky Flame City.
Gu Liuyan felt guilty, but he didn't think of this.
There were still many soldiers waiting at the border for Duan Chengxuan to count, not to mention the fact that the military power was scattered everywhere. There were still many official matters that had to be settled before the Spring Festival.
Previously, Gu Liuyan was pretending to be a man, so there was no need for her to hide from him. Now, she could only stay in the house in the city and help with diagnosis, but most of the time, she spent time in the private school in the west side of the city.
The slaves from before were now placed here, and there was no lack of people who resisted or were spies. But now that it had been cleared away, Duan Chengxuan still sent Cheng Shan to personally follow.
The Rising Sun was now the king of children, jumping up and down day and day with his children. Qing Qing, on the other hand, was much more cheerful, fooling around with the big brothers and big sisters, many of whom missed their parents, but had to stay for the time being because of the war.
That day, Gu Daiyan bought some candied fruits and brought them over. He saw an aunt holding a crying girl in her arms.
"What's going on?" Gu Mingyan stepped forward to welcome her. She still remembered that this girl was usually very smart, but she was a little submissive in her personality. Because she was young, it was hard to change her mind.
The aunt held the girl and said helplessly, "All the children in the city look down on her. They cried because they said she was young and didn't know shame, and she even said something unscrupulous."
Gu Danyan froze for a second, then immediately understood what those people meant.
Although she was young, she had a good face as a slave, so it was hard for others to not talk about her. She could only walk forward and embrace her in her arms, and tell her: "It's all their fault. If you cry, won't you admit that it was your fault?"
"But …" "Young lady's family name and integrity …"
"If you want that title, you won't be able to live such a good life today." Gu Danyan helped her wipe her tears and laughed: "Besides, men have three wives and four concubines. I don't know how many girls have the same sex, but they have no reputation or integrity anymore."
"But that's a man …" The little girl pretended to cry again.
"How is a man different from a woman? Those who say that you are not are the ones who say that you have problems. Those who say that you have problems are the ones who are pedantic in the book." Gu Danyan held her hand and walked inside, "Those things in the books are not for learning. You have to know, nothing is more important than one's life. To be still alive is already a great fortune."
The girl seemed to have changed the topic as she looked up at Ning Xuemo. "But, they will still say that I …"
"Since you can't stop others from talking, then think of a way to stop them from saying these words." Gu Danyan helped her wipe her tears clean, and laughed lowly: "Maybe you will be pointed at, but as long as you walk down the path, you will teach the people around you and your future heir, and tell them, being forced by others is not shameful, then no matter if it is a hundred years or a thousand years, no one will ever say those words again."
The little girl opened her mouth wide, "Can a person live for a thousand years?"
"It's far more than that." Gu Danyan rubbed her head, "So, in the future, you have to tell the people around you that this is not a shameful matter. If he were to say that you are not your Daoist, he would just treat you like dust and not be angry."
"Sure." Only then did the little girl smile brightly and spread the candied fruits.
When the aunt behind him heard his words, she came forward to welcome him. "These girls are always being criticized. Do you think there's any way …"
"I come here every day for a period of time. Even if it makes people roll their eyes at me when I go out, at the very least, I want them to live a comfortable life here. Furthermore, they had been forced to do so. If they were to truly blame someone, they should have exterminated that Jiang Yan. " Gu Danyan only smiled indifferently.
Ever since this incident had occurred, she had practically been spending her days in the private school.
The pedant in the private school, however, could not bear to listen any longer. He only felt that she was perverted and unconventional. They all came to the entrance of the army camp to seek out Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Chengxuan was currently teaching fist techniques on the drill grounds. When he heard of this matter, he only stopped what he was doing and instructed the assistant general beside him, "Practice well, I'll come over later."
Afterwards, when he heard his teachers talking at the same time, Duan Chengxuan's expression didn't change, so he sent someone to get Gu Danyan to come over and chat with him by the side of the army camp.
Gu Daiyan had just landed when she saw the complacent expressions of those few gentlemen. She felt indignant that these men could have three wives and four concubines, but not a single one of them could marry two men. It was truly shameful.
"What is it? "You don't agree with me?" Gu Danyan distanced himself from Duan Cheng Xuan, and his eyes were filled with contempt.
Many soldiers looked over to see what the gossip between the prince and Princess Erdan was.
"Of course I agree. I didn't invite you to the military camp to teach these brutes of yours." Duan Chengxuan wiped off his perspiring hands and walked over, then embraced him. "These gentlemen are indeed pedantic. They usually go around the brothels all the time, but now they even come to blame these girls who were harmed by men. They really are cultured scum."
The faces of these gentlemen were ashen.
