Chapter 275 A Crazy and Perverted Possessiveness

"Please, Mother, help me. I know Gu Yuanming is unwilling, but he has no choice. I must become his woman before the marriage alliance. In this life, I will marry no one but him!"

Gu Qingyue: ......

She curled her lips.

I remember my third brother's serious demeanor; he was tall, handsome, with eyes like stars, and extraordinary good looks.

But what he possesses most is a tough and masculine temperament honed by his years of military service.

This is something that the pampered young masters of the capital cannot compare to; he truly possesses immense masculine charm!

If Princess Qing'an truly likes him, then she has good taste.

Suddenly remembering that Princess Qing'an had drugged her third brother in Lizhou and almost had sex with him, Gu Qingyue lost all hope in Princess Qing'an's character.

But Gu Qingyue had heard from her fourth brother that the most important reason she desperately wanted to marry her third brother was not only because she was instantly smitten by his appearance, but also because she had confessed her feelings to him but was cruelly rejected.

At that time, Gu Yuanming was accompanying the commander of the Lizhou camp back to the capital to report on his duties. He was seen riding a horse on Zhuque Street by Princess Qing'an.

Princess Qing'an confessed her love in the street. At the time, Gu Yuanming didn't know Princess Qing'an at all. He was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse and immediately rejected her firmly.

You could say he's very much a straight man.

As a result, Princess Qing'an became the laughing stock of the entire city, and Prince An was ridiculed for failing to properly educate his daughter and was impeached multiple times by the censor.

Over the next few months, the story of Qing'an spread by word of mouth, becoming the most romantic tale in the capital.

This caused Princess Qing'an, a woman who had never experienced any setbacks in her life, to lose all face overnight.

It is said that once at a banquet for noble ladies in the capital, Princess Qing'an was humiliated by several princesses with whom she had a history of discord.

Shame and indignation overwhelmed her, Princess Qing'an gritted her teeth and vowed that she would marry Gu Yuanming and become his only woman in the world!

If she can't get married, she'll die with Gu Yuanming, and no one can separate them!

Listen to that! What a crazy and twisted possessiveness!

Gu Qingyue was speechless when she heard this. In her previous life, she had seen people with similar perverted ideas. These people had never been disobeyed and had to get what they wanted, or they would do extreme things.

Now that I think about it, what if Princess Qing'an really did something that caused my third brother to suffer?

Do I really have to marry this lunatic?

No, she has to do something to stop this!

Her third brother is outstanding and handsome; she must not let such a person taint him!

As she was pondering, she heard Princess An say, "Alright, your mother will help you, but you can't do anything foolish, understand? You can only marry him if you live well, okay?"

Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes. Although the deep bond between mother and daughter was touching, was such unprincipled maternal love really for the child's good?

"Mother is the best, Ning'er knows that," she said, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and started crying again.

Gu Qingyue was furious.

Looking away from the room, Gu Qingyue realized that she was looking for Granny Wu, but she couldn't find her anywhere, either inside or outside the room. Was she not in the mansion?

That's not right. According to Yu Mo, she didn't come out.

A moment later, Gu Qingyue led the two of them to Princess Qing'an's courtyard.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, they saw Princess An leave the courtyard with several maids and servants and head towards the main courtyard.

The group watched from the shadows until the lights in Princess Qing'an's room went out.

With a gesture from Gu Qingyue, the three of them split up to search.

Gu Qingyue was also helpless. She had been far away and had been looking for a while, and now her mental energy was exhausted. She felt dizzy whenever she used it, so she could only search slowly now.

The three searched all the side rooms, the back rooms in the courtyard, and the places where the servants might live, but found nothing.

"Are you sure Granny Wu is in the manor?" The three of them gathered on a large tree outside the courtyard, and Gu Qingyue asked Yu Mo in a low voice.

"I'm certain that Princess Qing'an returned to the capital on the same day we arrived. I saw that Granny Wu; she was with Princess Qing'an at the time, and she went in and never came out again."

Gu Qingyue's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito. Where could she have gone?

Just then, the lights in Princess Qing'an's room came on again.

The three of them squatted on the tree and examined it carefully. After a moment, they saw a figure moving inside.

With a creak, the door opened from the inside.

Princess Qing'an was dressed neatly, followed by Granny Qi, whom she had met before, and a maid.

The little maid carried a small lantern, and the three of them walked towards a side room next door.

Gu Qingyue rubbed her chin.

They searched that room earlier; it had bookshelves, a desk, and the Four Treasures of the Study. Could it be that Princess Qing'an came out to study in the middle of the night?

Has the matter of hanging oneself just passed by so quickly?

Gu Qingyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Did she have to find a way to mess with her third brother right now?

"Open it!" Gu Qingyue heard a faint voice from afar.

Open what?

Then, Gu Qingyue heard a slight noise. She quickly realized that it must be the sound of a hidden door opening. Was there a secret room in this study?

Gu Qingyue was excited again!

"Let's go!" With that, Gu Qingyue leaped into the courtyard.

When we came in to search, we took down the palace guards who were hiding near this courtyard. Now, we can go in as if we were in an empty place.

Therefore, it is so important to have highly skilled martial artists under your command, in addition to a magical medicinal powder!

The three of them quickly slipped inside the study as soon as the door was gently pushed open.

Sure enough, there was no one inside.

Gu Qingyue gritted her teeth and released a little mental energy, immediately discovering the mechanism in the secret room. With a gentle push, a passage opened in the wall.

It was right next to the desk; it was easy to find.

Walking along the passage, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the dark passage was illuminated, revealing a dark dungeon built underground.

Why did these nobles and royalty like to set up secret dungeons so much? How perverse was that?

"Speak, where did you get the medicine last time? You are my wet nurse. If you tell me, I, the princess, will definitely spare your life," Princess Qing'an's voice came from inside before they even got close.

The wet nurse? Is Granny Wu here?

Thank goodness, before they could catch anyone, she was caught by their own people first?

“What this old servant is saying is the truth. Last time, I met a crazy old man on the road. He said he was a miracle doctor and gave it to me. He also said that the medicine was unique, priceless, and absolutely foolproof,” came Wu Mama’s weak voice.

Gu Qingyue gestured for the three of them to stop where they were and continue listening.

A sharp crack rang out, followed by Wu Mama's weak and pitiful scream.

"You wretched servant, you dare to say it's foolproof? Last time in Lizhou, you let Gu Yuanming escape, is that what you call foolproof?"

Lizhou? Gu Yuanming escaped?

Gu Qingyue understood; the medicine they were referring to was probably the Illusionary God Grass that Gu Yuanming had been poisoned with.

"Princess, spare me! This old servant has really done her best!" Granny Wu cried and begged for mercy.
