Chapter 20 You Are Dead
In order not to get sick and catch a cold, Gu Man followed Princess Tingli back to the princess' bedroom, took a hot bath, and changed into clean clothes.

Princess Tingli also changed into light clothes and came to talk to Gu Man.

Ting Li said angrily: "Come on, why do you need to save that bitch today? Don't you hate her?"

Gu Man looked at Princess Tingli, "Princess, if I don't save her today, do you think you have nothing to do with me? If she really dies in the palace, I will be the first to be suspected! You! Now that Ji Moyan is not dead, you and I have already been convicted, not to mention she is dead!"

Ting Li was stunned for a moment, and said with a little fear: "I... I'm just talking, I don't really want her life!"

Gu Man took Princess Tingli's hand, "I know, Tingli, don't offend Cheng Mo and bully Ji Moyan again because of me, okay?"

Ting Li looked at Gu Man distressedly, "Come on, is that Cheng Mo worthy of you treating him like this? Do you love him that much?"

Gu Man sighed, and said: "Ting Li, to be honest, I have decided to make peace with Cheng Mo!"

"What?" Princess Tingli was taken aback when she heard Gu Man's words, and said in surprise, "I heard that right? You want to make peace with him?"

Gu Man nodded, and told Princess Tingli her thoughts.Princess Tingli nodded knowingly, and said, "I didn't expect you to see it so clearly in just three years! Now, I support you and Li!"

Gu Man smiled and said: "Since you support me, then, from now on, don't target Ji Moyan again! Okay?"

Princess Tingli smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to her!"

Gu Man paused, and said: "It's just that Cheng Mo will ask the emperor for an explanation on this matter, and you may be imprisoned!"

Ting Li shook his head indifferently, and said, "It's okay, what's the point of going into confinement for the sake of my sisters?"

Gu Man was very moved, and after having a heart-to-heart chat with Princess Tingli for a while, she bid farewell to Princess Tingli.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I saw that the whole Hou Mansion was in chaos.

Seeing this, Qing'er asked Gu Man, "Madam, are we going to see Madam?"

Gu Man shook her head. It was written in the book: After Ji Moyan fell into the water, she was seriously ill for three days and three nights, and then gradually recovered.In the end, Cheng Mo, who must take revenge, sued the princess and other ladies from the family before the imperial court.

Because Ji Moyan didn't have any serious problems, the princess and the ladies from various families who participated in the frame-up were only punished and placed in confinement.

Gu Man shook her head and said, "No need, my lady's life is not in danger, besides, Lord Hou probably doesn't want to see me now, so why bother to ask for trouble."

Gu Man felt a little dizzy in the head, and her nose was sore and swollen. Gu Man secretly thought something was wrong, and she still caught a cold.

After returning to the room in a daze, Qing'er saw that Gu Man's face was flushed abnormally, and asked concerned: "Ma'am, are you alright?"

Gu Man waved her hand, "It's okay, I seem to have a little fever, just get some sleep and you'll be fine!"

Qing'er said anxiously: "I'll get you a doctor!"

Gu Man hurriedly held Qing'er who was about to leave, "There's no need to go, it's just a fever, just sleep and sweat!"

Qing'er said worriedly: "Is this okay? Why don't I give you some medicine to reduce the fever!"

Gu Man hurriedly said: "No, no, don't!"

What Gu Man feared the most since she was a child was taking medicine. She never took medicine in the past if she could resist it, let alone the traditional Chinese medicine that was so hard for her.

"I'm so sleepy, Qing'er, go down and rest too!"

After that, Gu Man didn't have the strength to say anything anymore, so she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Gu Man's throat was dry and she was extremely thirsty, so she got up to find water to drink.

Qing'er who heard the movement hurriedly got up and lit the candle, then poured a glass of warm water for Gu Man.

Gu Man drank three cups and still didn't feel thirst quenched, but there was no water in the teapot, so Qing'er took the teapot to fetch water.

As soon as she fell asleep, Gu Man felt her body relaxed a lot. She touched her forehead. Although she was still a little hot, she was much better, but her body was still a little weak and she couldn't exert her strength.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, as if robbers had invaded.

Gu Man was taken aback, and looked up, but saw Cheng Mo walking in with a dark face full of anger, staring at her firmly.

Gu Man has a bad feeling...

He is not in the room to take care of Ji Moyan in the middle of the night, what is he doing here?Are you coming to settle accounts with me?

Gu Man hurriedly stood up, looked at Cheng Mo vigilantly, "You...why are you here?"

I saw Cheng Mo walking over angrily, his eyes full of murderous intent!Gu Man hurriedly took a few steps back, stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "What are you doing! Just say it there!"

Cheng Mo took another step forward, and Gu Man stepped back again.

Cheng Mo said angrily: "Come here!"

Gu Man shook her head, "No! Just stand there and say something, this house is not big, I can hear it!"

Seeing Cheng Mo's chest rising and falling, obviously out of breath, he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it towards Gu Man.

Gu Man screamed in fear, and squatted down with her head in her arms. The tea cup passed over Gu Man's head, and there was only a "pop", and it fell apart.

Cheng Mo waited for the opportunity to step forward, grabbed Gu Man's arm, and pulled her up. His eyes were as cold as if he wanted to pierce Gu Man, and he said coldly, "I'm so blind that I would believe that you are a person who wants to achieve your goal." An unscrupulous woman! Today you have killed Yan'er lying in a coma on the bed, but you can sleep at ease!"

Gu Man's arm hurt from being scratched by Cheng Mo, and she explained: "I didn't hurt her!"

"Up to now, are you still arguing?" Cheng Mo grabbed Gu Man's arm with one hand, and choked Gu Man's neck with the other hand, and said angrily, "Ruo Yan'er has something wrong, I will make you lose your life!"

"I didn't harm Ji Moyan! If you don't believe me, you can wait for Ji Moyan to wake up and ask her! What's more, if I didn't take action today, she would have died a long time ago!" Gu Man explained with effort.

She swore that she would never let anyone pinch her neck again!
Cheng Mo increased the strength in his hands, and stared at Gu Man through gritted teeth, "Do you think I don't know that this is a conspiracy between you and Ting Li?"

"Do you have evidence?! Talking nonsense without evidence is called slander!" Gu Man felt that she was about to be strangled to death, and her mind was getting more and more confused, but she couldn't break the iron hand on her neck.

She can't die!

She hasn't helped Gu to live a good life, she still has to go back!
Gu Man raised her foot and kicked Cheng Mo's body.

Cheng Mo was speechless by Gu Man's questioning, and was stunned for a while, but he couldn't guard against Gu Man's move, and let go of his hand with a muffled groan.

After untying the restraint around her neck, Gu Man took a big gulp of air, rubbed her sore neck, stood up and kept a safe distance from Cheng Mo.

At this time, Qing'er came in with the boiled tea, but saw Cheng Mo squatting on the ground with sweat profusely, his expression extremely painful.Gu Man, on the other hand, clutched her reddened neck, panting heavily.

Qing'er hurriedly put the teapot on the ground, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Cheng Mo's forehead was soaked with a thin layer of sweat, he raised his head, gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Man, "Gu, you're doomed!"
