Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 111 Red Plum

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan left in a leisurely manner.

When Chu Zhiyan finds out, he will definitely be surprised, right?

But that has nothing to do with her anymore.

After the third and fourth princesses arrived at the military camp, they learned of Gu Qingyuan's "death" and immediately sent a message to the capital.

When the Queen received the letter from the two, she suddenly felt unsteady.

How can it be?

How could Gu Ruotian's daughter die?

It was clearly written on the wall that Gu Qingyuan was killed by the king of southern Xinjiang, and his body was still hanging on the city wall.

General Gu never sent any news back, and she thought everything was going well. However, she never expected that after experiencing the pain of losing her husband, she would also experience the pain of losing her daughter.

Eunuch Li saw the changing expressions on the Empress's face and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Eunuch Li was no stranger. The Empress told him what was written in the letter. After hearing the news, a look of sorrow appeared on his face, and he murmured, "How...how could this happen?"

He looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, if General Gu returns victorious this time, how about..."

What he meant was that it would be better to give General Gu a few more men to continue General Gu's bloodline.

But the Queen interrupted him and shook her head.

If she really wanted other children, she wouldn't have only Gu Qingyuan as a daughter. She just hoped that this matter would not affect General Gu's mood and that the overall situation would be the most important thing.

Then she ordered, "Go and send some gifts to the General's Mansion to express our condolences."

"Yes."

Eunuch Li followed the Empress's instructions and brought the things to the General's Mansion.

Luo Jin was currently the head of the General's Mansion. When he saw Eunuch Li, he was surprised. "Eunuch Li, why are you here?"

When Eunuch Li saw him, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty sent me here. Let's go in and talk."

Luo Jin took him into the house, poured him a glass of water, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Now that the general is away and the young master has gone to Xiancheng, he can only temporarily manage the general's mansion.

Eunuch Li lowered his voice, glanced at him and said, "It's like this. News came from Xiancheng that our Young Master Gu...

Luo Jin's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked, "What happened to the young master? Is the general okay?"

"General, she's fine, but Young Master Gu, you may not see her again in the future."

Eunuch Li spoke tactfully. Luo Jin was a smart man and quickly understood what he meant.

He staggered a little, and the people next to him quickly supported him. He waved his hands and said he was fine.

After a while, after seeing off Eunuch Li, Luo Jin said, "Don't spread this matter outside. The general hasn't returned yet, so it's not appropriate to make a big fuss."

"Yes."

In the Plum Garden, Wen Shubai was sitting in the house embroidering when she suddenly heard Yu Shui saying that someone was coming.

He thought it was Gu Qingyuan who came back and was about to get up to greet her, but Yu Shui stopped him and shook his head.

"Not the young master."

Wen Shubai seemed a little disappointed.

Yu Shui looked at his expression again and spoke cautiously, "The one who came today is from the palace. It's Eunuch Li who serves as our Majesty's attendant. He brought a lot of gifts to the General's Mansion."

"Eunuch Li? What is he here for?" Wen Shubai asked in confusion.

Yu Shui told him what she had found out.

Every courtyard has someone who has a good relationship with Yu Shui. He is also eloquent and many servants are willing to talk to him.

That's why he was able to find out the news so quickly.

Yu Shui said with sadness, "It seems that something happened to our young master, and they asked us to keep it secret."

That side refers to Luo Jin's side.

Luo Jin is now the temporary housekeeper, and everyone in the mansion listens to him.

The needle in Wen Shubai's hand pierced his finger, and a drop of blood fell on the cloth, like a red plum blossom.

The usually delicate person pulled out the needle that had pierced his flesh without blinking, and there was still blood on the needle.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Oh, Master, why would I lie to you? Besides, they saw it with their own eyes. Eunuch Li said that he would not be able to see the Young Master again in the future."

Wen Shubai's fingertips were still bleeding. He wiped them gently with his clothes and said, "I don't believe it."

Wasn't she fine that day? I went to comfort her when she couldn't eat, so how could she suddenly be in trouble now?

It had only been a short time, he couldn't believe that Gu Qingyuan had left him like that, he absolutely didn't believe it!

"Master, why are you crying?"

Yu Shui saw two lines of tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes, looking extremely sad.

Wen Shubai's voice was nasal at this moment. He wiped his tears casually and said to the rain, "You must be lying to me. I'm going to go ask."

"Hey, Master!"

Yu Shui watched him walk out, never thinking that his master could walk so fast.

Luo Jin was sitting in the room when suddenly someone came to report that the young master's husband was coming.

After a brief thought, he realized that the prince must have known about it, and said calmly, "Let him come over."

The door was slammed open. The man who had always been gentle, knowledgeable and polite now had red eyes and pressed him: "Young Master, are you okay? Are you guys lying to me?"

Luo Jin looked at him and asked him to sit down, but he said stubbornly: "I won't sit down. Tell me, the young master..."

As he spoke, he began to sob uncontrollably, his watery eyes filled with tears.

People like these royal family members have always paid attention to their image. This embarrassed and dispirited look is the first time Luo Jin has seen them.

He said, "The general hasn't sent back any message yet."

What they meant was that they would only believe it if General Gu told them about it himself.

Wen Shubai was so overwhelmed by grief that he didn't understand the implication of his words for a moment, so he asked again, "What do you mean?"

Luo Jin had the door closed and said calmly, "I feel like there's something fishy about this matter. Although His Majesty has sent someone to report this, I have a vague feeling that the young master might still be alive."

Wen Shubai, grasping at straws, asked him, "Are you serious?"

Luo Jin nodded and looked at him again.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Wen Shubai turned around and tried to wipe away his tears, but the more tears he cried, the more he could not wipe them away.

He was so sad, and a huge despair came over him. He didn't dare to think about what he would become if he really couldn't see her in the future.

His chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe, but he could always remember her smiling face when she appeared before him.

He missed her so much.

Gu Qingyuan sneezed inexplicably and cursed Chu Zhiyan in his heart.

She used her familiarity with the Southern Xinjiang Palace and easily concealed her figure this time.

The men noticed she was missing and were looking for her.

She hid herself and was not discovered by those people.

"Where did you escape to?"

The palace maids were looking for her room by room. Gu Qingyuan was sitting on a tree, her legs dangling in the air.
