Chapter 15 Secret
Unexpectedly, Aunt Qin was so lucky that she got pregnant at once. Being pregnant with this child was like being pregnant with a gold nugget. For the sake of the child, she could not let the child rot or die.

Aunt Qin was lucky. She got pregnant so easily, and it was a boy. Just when everyone thought that Aunt Qin would make a comeback with this boy, the old Duke's wife found out about it and became so angry that she had a miscarriage and gave birth prematurely.

It turned out that when Concubine Qin climbed into the bed, the old Duke's wife was very angry and had a big fight with the old Duke of England. If she hadn't found out she was pregnant later, they would not have been able to reconcile for a while. However, because of this, the pregnancy, which was already difficult, did not look very good.

Because of this, Aunt Qin was later found to be pregnant. For the sake of the old Duke's wife, everyone kept it a secret from her. Who knew that the old Duke's wife found out about it somehow and had a miscarriage. The Third Master Gu Changning was born prematurely. He was weak and sickly since childhood. It was really difficult to raise him. He was as fragile as glass.

Because of this, Aunt Qin was hated again, but she gave birth to a son. Having an concubine doesn't matter, but having a son does.

It just so happened that the old Duke's half-brother was ignorant when he was young and got involved in the fight for the throne, but he did not have the corresponding ability and brains. During a royal hunting trip, he died gloriously to save a prince.

Thus, Gu Changheng became the heir of the second wife and was adopted out. Although Aunt Qin became the least popular and least visible master in the Duke's Mansion, she was allowed to live a good life in the Duke's Mansion without worries about food and clothing for the sake of Gu Changheng.

Gu Changheng was taken to the second house since he was a child and became the heir of the second house. When he was little, he really thought that he was the son of the widowed lady of the second house. Later, the concubine Qin frequently looked for him. The old Duke was afraid that the concubine Qin had evil intentions and would lead this adopted son astray, so he told him the truth.

At the same time, she beat Aunt Qin with ten military sticks in public and warned her not to do things that she shouldn't do and not to have delusions that she shouldn't have. Gu Changheng was the heir of the second wife, and his mother was the wife of the second wife, not Aunt Qin. She could have some motherly love for him, but she couldn't be too close to him.

From then on, even though Aunt Qin still missed her son, she didn't dare get too close to him, let alone interfere. She could only watch him secretly.

But no matter what, she is still Gu Changheng's biological mother. Even if she is adopted, Gu Changheng will not abandon his biological mother for the sake of his reputation. Even if they are the old Duke and his wife, no matter how much they dislike them, they are not the evil ones who torture people. This is why Aunt Qin has such an awkward position in the Duke's Mansion.

As for Gu Changheng, although he knew his life experience, he was very unable to accept it. After all, he went from being the legitimate son of the second wife to being the son of a concubine, which made him feel inferior. He also felt very unwilling to go from being the son of the Duke of England to being the son of the Duke of England's younger brother. And this inferiority and unwillingness did not disappear as he grew older but grew year by year.

In front of outsiders, Gu Changheng is a calm and humble gentleman, a young talent, and is very respectful to his cousin, the Duke of England and others, but this is not necessarily the case in private.

Although the servants in the mansion were of low status, they kept a close eye on their masters' every move and knew exactly when a vase or teacup was broken.

After listening to the love, hate and vengeance here, Shu Yun nodded in understanding and sent everyone away. He then held his teacup and fell into deep thought.

Although Aunt Qin is not valued in the mansion, she is Gu Changheng's biological mother after all. Today, she did not give face to him in public. I think the news will spread throughout the mansion soon and her reputation will not be very good. But that's all. Reputation cannot be used to make a living. She has become a lowly concubine, so what reputation should she care about?

But there is a bit of trouble with Gu Changheng. After all, she is his biological mother. Even if she doesn't care much about her, she has to pretend to be nice to her. It is estimated that when he comes back in the evening and hears the news, he will come to trouble her. The earliest will be tonight, and the latest will be tomorrow.

but……

"Ha~!"

She yawned loudly, her eyelids drooping. It was nothing serious. She should get some sleep first to get enough energy to deal with all the troubles. She was tired from the journey, not only Yuyan needed a rest, she also needed it!

She resisted the urge to sleep and took a quick shower, then fell asleep tightly in the quilt. There was an ice cube emitting white steam next to the bed, which made Shu Yunfu sigh once again at the wealth of the Duke of England's mansion before she fell into a deep sleep.

I slept so soundly that if Gu Changheng hadn't barged in angrily, I might have slept until the next day.

"Shu Yunfu! Come out here!"

"what happened?"

With her long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing only a gauze vest and half-closed eyes, she looks like a gorgeous crabapple tree, with a unique charm.

Shu Yunfu, who was woken up, listened to the angry voice and sat up with the quilt in dissatisfaction. She rubbed her eyes in a daze, her mind was not fully awake yet, and she was full of impatience, impatient for her good dream to be disturbed.

"You still have the nerve to sleep!"

When Gu Changheng found out that the person he was looking for was still sleeping in bed, the anger in his eyes almost jumped out, and he strode towards the big bed with a murderous look.

The ferocious appearance frightened Qiu Tang, who was guarding outside the door, so much that she thought the master she had just followed was going to be dragged off the bed and beaten by the Second Master. She was terrified, but did not dare to stop it at all. She was anxious in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she should not have come to serve the new concubine Shu.

I thought this was brought back by the Second Master himself, and that this was a favored one, but I didn’t expect…

Shu Yunfu had no idea what Qiutang was thinking. When she noticed Gu Changheng barging in, she subconsciously grabbed the robe on the bedside screen and wrapped herself tightly in it in two seconds. Just as she put it on, Gu Changheng pushed aside the bead curtain and barged in.

As soon as the bead curtain was opened, Shu Yunfu, with her long hair loose and her lazy and charming appearance, stunned the furious Gu Changheng for a moment. He did not expect to see such a scene, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What is Second Master doing? Why are you so angry?"

Noticing the surprise in Gu Changheng's eyes, Shu Yunfu tied the belt in her hand. A trace of disgust flashed in her drooping eyes. She looked up again and smiled brightly. There was a gleam in her eyes, and there was no longer a trace of drowsiness from just waking up.

"You won't know why I'm so angry!"

The stunned look only lasted for a moment, and soon the amazement in Gu Changheng's eyes turned into disgust. He took a step forward and grabbed Shu Yunfu's neck.
