Chapter 24: The Duke of the Guardian Mansion is Targeted
"You are my woman. If it weren't for some strange mistake, you would be my concubine now."

He grabbed her little hand and held it in his, sighing in his heart again, this woman is simply made of water, even her hands are so smooth, soft and boneless, completely different from her soft but prickly personality.

He really didn't want to have such an immoral relationship, it was too troublesome.

But since it cannot be changed, he should just accept it with pleasure. If he is willing to abide by the secular ethics, he will be comfortable; if he is not willing to abide by them, then it will be nothing.

He has never been a person who would be bound by worldly matters. His person can only be himself!

"Don't tell me that you really like Gu Changheng."

He played with her delicate fingers, looking at her calmly, with determination in his eyes. He was so confident.

Although he was lying on the bed, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and that kind of innate arrogance emanated from him.

"Of course not!"

Meeting his proud eyes, Shu Yunfu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and snuggled into his arms. This man finally showed a hint of truth, instead of that fake, cold smile and tenderness.

What he shows in front of others is just a false mask and a false personality. The real him is conceited, arrogant and indifferent.

Even though Gu Changheng was his cousin, and even though Gu Changheng was considered a young talent, he never took him seriously.

He was conceited that wherever he appeared, Gu Changheng was dull and dim, and the women he liked naturally looked down on Gu Changheng even more.

Of course they have this tacit understanding. Both of them are not ordinary people, and Gu Changheng is not in their eyes.

"By the way, you rushed into the palace today to hand over the account book to the emperor, right? How did the emperor deal with the Duke of Huguo's Mansion behind it?" After playing around, Shu Yunfu snuggled in his arms and asked curiously.

"You are a woman from the inner court, why do you care so much about the affairs of the court?"

He looked down at her, his eyes dim. She couldn't see through him, and how could he see through her?

"Of course I care. This is the account book I brought into the capital at great risk. The Duke was so ruthless back then. I will remember it for the rest of my life. I naturally want to know whether the things I brought back are useful or not."

Pretending not to understand the inquiry in his eyes, she just punched him with her fist and said coquettishly, "Besides, if I were really an ordinary girl, I would be in the Jiaofangsi in Xuancheng now."

"The things have been handed over to the emperor. As for what the emperor will do, I don't know. After receiving the account book, the emperor did not express his opinion. What will happen next depends on what he says in the court tomorrow."

He smiled at her, caressing the skin under his hands, and did not hide it, "However, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is powerful, and the Queen Mother in the palace is there to protect them. Although this corruption case is serious, it did not cause too serious consequences. I guess in the end, they will only be punished lightly and warned severely."

"It seems you are not surprised."

He nodded. If one wanted to bring down the powerful Duke of the Guard family, ordinary charges would be of little use.

"But since you know that you can't do anything about these charges to the Duke of the Guard, you actually handed the evidence to His Majesty, making such a big enemy for the Duke of England. Aren't you worried?"

"Even if I don't give it to you, someone will deliver it to you."

"what?"

Gu Changting said nothing more, just sat up and started to dress, "You go to sleep, it's getting late, I have to go."

Lying on the bed, with her chin supported by her hands, she watched the man put on his clothes one by one, her eyes full of admiration. He had good flesh when he took off his clothes, and he was handsome when he put on his clothes. She really had good taste.

While adjusting his sleeves, he looked down and saw the interest in her eyes. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, lowered his head, pinched her chin and kissed her deeply. After the kiss, he said in a low voice: "Be careful, don't make me worry, I'll come to see you next time." "Well... I'll wait for you!"

Her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled as she watched the man leave. She swallowed the birth control pill and couldn't help but giggle while hugging the quilt. It really sounded like the words of a scumbag!

The woman who fell asleep hugging the quilt didn't know that after leaving Yizhuxuan, the man looked at her yard in silence for a long time.

On that day, the Shu family spent a night in a mess because of drugs, and they became entangled with each other. Later, by accident, she became the second brother's concubine.

Along the way, she looked as gentle as a dodder, but in fact she was as cunning as a fox. She deceived Gu Changheng and made him willing to protect her.

This was not an ordinary woman. He didn't believe that if she really wanted to leave, there would be no way out.

And she is not the kind of woman who would willingly be someone else's concubine.

So why did he follow all the way to the capital city with such humiliation?

He turned and left, looking gloomy.

And who was the mastermind behind this corruption case? He pushed the witness to ring the drum to report the case, and later delivered the account book that could incriminate the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to him. This was the biggest reason why he did not keep the account book.

Everything that happened was aimed at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. What did the Duke of Protectorate Mansion do to make people plot against them like this? Do they know that there are eyes watching them?

And those eyes, using him, were also targeting the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion just like they were targeting the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
……

After waking up, Shu Yunfu drank a sip of diluted Life Grass Condensation, dressed up beautifully, went out of the door in high spirits and with a happy face, and went straight to the yard of the second wife's old lady.

It didn’t matter that the old lady didn’t want to see her on the first day. After all, she was the mother-in-law and she was just a concubine. She could treat her however she wanted. But she was the younger generation and had to understand the rules. An ugly daughter-in-law had to meet her parents-in-law and pay her respects.

And this time, the old lady met her!

To be honest, she had heard on the road that her mother-in-law was a free and easy person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, even her own son. Later, when she arrived at the Duke of England's Mansion, although this cheap mother-in-law behaved in a way that was consistent with her character, Shu Yunfu didn't believe it until she saw her in person.

In this wealthy family, there are very few people who can be truly free and easy. She doesn't believe whether her step-mother-in-law is really as she appears to be unless she sees it with her own eyes.

But after seeing her cheap mother-in-law, Shu Yunfu believed it. Not to mention anything else, just looking at her cheap mother-in-law's face that was well-maintained like that of a young girl, she believed it.

This is a face that only a person with no worries, living a carefree and happy life would have. It is young, healthy, sunny, cheerful and positive.

This state cannot be faked at all.

"My name is Shu, nice to meet you, mother!"

Hiding the shock in her eyes, Shu Yunfu knelt down obediently and bowed deeply. If this stepmother-in-law was kind to her, then she would also be happy to see the mother-in-law being kind and the daughter-in-law being filial.

"Get up!"

Sure enough, this cheap mother-in-law had no intention of making things difficult for her. Instead, she immediately asked the people around her to help her up, and then stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.
