Chapter 339
Gu Ying came back to her senses and turned her head to see Shen Ruxu with hairpins and skirts like thorns, carrying a bamboo basket for vegetables hanging on her arm standing beside her.
Her expression on her face instantly changed from worry to sarcasm, "Bengbu is so big, I didn't expect to meet Miss Gu so soon. You said, is this fate or coincidence?"
Gu Ying's eyes looked at her lightly, slowly straightening up, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "Miss Shen."
Shen Ruxu looked up and down at Gu Ying twice, stopping for a while especially on her bulging belly, her eyes slightly colder, with more resentment and jealousy, "It looks like after I got married, you are living quite well."
In the face of Shen Ruxu's unconcealed sarcasm, Gu Ying's tone was still relatively calm, "Thanks to you."
Shen Ruxu let out a cold laugh, thinking of something, her eyebrows suddenly laughed open, "Gu Ying, you must not have thought that we would have the chance to meet again, right?"
Gu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. She actually thought about it. As long as Yu Gu stayed in Bengbu for one day, Shen Ruxu would eventually come sooner or later.
Moreover, she had said that someone would make the decision for her.
This person was Yu Gu.
With Shen Ruxu's temperament, she would never give up using Yu Gu as her backer. She just didn't understand where Shen Ruxu's confidence came from that Yu Gu's words would make the Eldest Prince listen.
Shouldn't it be so? The Eldest Prince was upright and frank, and did things fair and square. Even when he was unruly, he had never done anything he couldn't show in public, it was impossible for him to be controlled by an unknown woman.
Besides, would the Eldest Prince be such an obedient person? Gu Ying couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't think about it anymore. It would be better to try to draw something out of Shen Ruxu.
With this in mind, she deliberately showed some apprehensive expressions to lower Shen Ruxu's vigilance.
"Isn't Miss Shen with Liu Chang back home? How come you want to come to Bengbu?" Shen Ruxu smiled sinisterly, "If I don't come to Bengbu, how can I see you?"
Gu Ying widened her eyes in "shock" and carefully took a step back, "You... are still thinking about the Eldest Prince?"
Shen Ruxu let out a cold laugh, as if she had heard some joke, "The Eldest Prince doesn't belong to you alone, why can't I think about him?"
Probably because she had Yu Gu's support, the Shen Ruxu in front of her now had a few more vicious qualities compared to the gentle girl in the past. Seeing the thin scar on her neck and her face was not as fair and delicate as before, Gu Ying also knew that she did not have a good time following Liu Chang these months.
"I heard that you quarreled with Liu Chang and separated."
"No." Shen Ruxu walked two steps closer to Gu Ying, raised a pair of resentful eyes, "He and I did not separate, I took advantage when he was drunk asleep, and directly cut his throat. The blood flowed all over the bed, he was sleeping like a dead pig, and died without a sound. But his old mother limped in, saw her son's body stabbed full of holes by me, and was so frightened that she cried on the spot. The old woman was really annoying, I was afraid someone would hear it, so I simply grabbed her hair and stabbed her heart with a knife. She thrashed around before finally stopping after a while, her old eyes wide open, unable to close even in death."
Gu Ying frowned in disgust.
Liu Chang and Shen Ruxu were a nest of snakes and rats, but the old lady was innocent. How dare Shen Ruxu, as a doctor, murder the innocent!
Shen Ruxu excitedly laughed, glanced at Gu Ying's slightly angry face, and continued, "You didn't expect it, right? The marriage you arranged for me eventually killed his whole family. Gu Ying, you are the real murderer, do you know? If it wasn't for you, Liu Chang and his mother wouldn't have died!"
Gu Ying looked at her lightly, clenching her fingers and pressing her lips, "You're wrong, the murderer is you, the culprit is you. You don't have to switch concepts and impose guilt and self-blame on me. Even if it wasn't Liu Chang, with your nature, you would still kill."
Shen Ruxu didn't expect Gu Ying, with her temperament as a young lady, to be so calm after hearing about such bloody events.
But thinking back to her methods in the military camp, she roughly understood that Gu Ying was no ordinary girl.
She must have outstanding qualities to be liked by the Eldest Prince.
To deal with such a woman, she alone was not enough.
However, fortunately, she still had her mother to back her up.
Shen Ruxu quickly reassured herself, the corner of her mouth raised in a smug smile, "Do you know who my mother is?"
Gu Ying finally heard the most critical point and looked at her with focused eyes.
Shen Ruxu's red lips parted slightly, and said word for word, "Yu Gu." Gu Ying said lightly, "Yu Gu is just an ordinary commoner. Even if she saved the Eldest Prince's life, the Prince has already repaid the favor."
Shen Ruxu shook her head, "You're wrong. The Eldest Prince can never repay my mother's kindness in this lifetime."
Gu Ying murmured, with a faint smile at the corner of her lips, "No wonder Yu Gu brought you to live in Like Alley. In the Eldest Prince's eyes, Yu Gu is just an insignificant doctor. Since she wants to leave, the Eldest Prince will never keep her. You want to take advantage of Yu Gu's lifesaving favor to force favors, enter the Prince's mansion. Miss Shen, you are still a little too naive."
Shen Ruxu dangerously narrowed her eyes, "We are only living here temporarily, don't believe me then just wait and see."
The corner of Gu Ying's mouth was slightly raised, "Alright, then I'll wait and see."
After speaking, she turned and left.
Yu Gu was standing at the street corner. Seeing Gu Ying, she politely bent over.
Gu Ying gave her a proper faint smile, then returned to the door of the Cheng’s house.
...
Seeing Yu Gu appear, Shen Ruxu's face instantly turned aggrieved. She ran over in three steps and clung to Yu Gu's arm, rubbing Yu Gu's shoulder coquettishly.
"Mother, Gu Ying bullied me."
Yu Gu looked back at the receding figure of Gu Ying. Seeing her walking briskly, her figure a little rounder than when she left, she must have been drinking nourishing medicine for the sake of the child in her belly.
Knowing that she was safely taking care of the little prince in her belly, her heart was also more at ease.
Yu Gu retracted her gaze, walked towards her own yard, "How did she bully you?"
"She is pregnant with the Eldest Prince's child, so she deliberately came to show off in front of me. Daughter feels very upset, mother. You said, what should your daughter do?"
"What can you do, let it go."
Yu Gu took out the key and opened the door, then walked into the house.
Shen Ruxu stomped her feet in displeasure, "Mother!"
After entering the house, Yu Gu put down her medicine box, turned around and said seriously to Shen Ruxu, "No matter what, she is the Eldest Prince's officially matched wife. You are also married and had a miscarriage. As you are now, the Eldest Prince may not be willing to want you."
As soon as Shen Ruxu heard this, her face collapsed instantly. She pulled Yu Gu's sleeve with her little hand, her eyes red, "But daughter is like this all because of Gu Ying! If it wasn't for her, daughter would still be the Eldest Prince’s fiancée, the woman mother specially raised for the Eldest Prince. But now not only did she occupy the Eldest Prince, she also made daughter fall to this, wouldn't mother bear to see daughter lonely and pitiful for the rest of her life!"
