Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 1103 The Unfaithful Lover 31

It wasn't that Jiang Huishu was soft-hearted and wanted to plead for the maid, but rather that she was afraid the old lady wouldn't reprimand her son, but would instead blame her.

"Why?" Gu Bingkun looked at Jiang Huishu with red eyes, "Why did you suffer such injustice in the Gu family, but never tell me?"

"Ah!" Jiang Huishu was taken aback at first, then looked at Gu Bingkun with a puzzled expression. "Master, are you referring to the fact that the servants in this mansion do not respect me? But isn't that what you wanted? Without your and the old lady's permission, how dare the servants of the Gu family disrespect me?"

"Alas!" Jiang Huishu sighed softly. "Master, I know that although you married me, you are very dissatisfied that I took the place of your beloved deceased wife. That is why you tacitly allow the servants in the mansion to humiliate me at will."

"Of course, I'm not saying this to complain, but I just want to ask you to stop making things difficult for me. The way you're questioning me makes me feel like I've done something wrong, and it's making me very uneasy!"

Gu Bingkun staggered, almost losing his balance, looking deeply shocked: "So this is how you think of me after all these years of marriage?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Huishu looked bewildered, as if she didn't understand what she had said wrong. "Master, what's wrong with you today! Or is there something you're unhappy with about me? If so, could you please tell me clearly, and I'll change my ways?"

"Hahaha!" Gu Bingkun laughed bitterly, then staggered and ran outside.

After Gu Bingkun left, Dingxiang and Dingling hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Madam, what's wrong with Master? The way he left seemed so strange to me!" It was Dingxiang's voice.

"I don't know either!" Jiang Huishu said anxiously. "Maybe it's because he sees me living a more comfortable life now, so he's not happy about it! After all, I've taken the place of his deceased wife, and the master is angry about it. He can't stand to see me living a comfortable life."

After thinking it over, Jiang Huishu could only think of this possibility. Gu Bingkun only revealed himself today, probably because he had been suppressing it for a long time and could no longer hold back.

Since her niece gave birth to a prince and became a concubine, Jiang Huishu has been living a more and more comfortable life in the Gu family. Even the servants in the old lady's courtyard do not dare to openly show her any disrespect, at least they can pretend to be respectful to her.

Jiang Huishu hadn't experienced the arrogant attitude of that medicine-serving maid in front of servants for a long time.

"What's going on?" Ding Ling was almost crying with anger. "Madam now has the Empress backing her up. If the Gu family really can't tolerate you, then we might as well leave the Gu family."

"Alright, why are you being so outspoken?" Jiang Huishu felt her head throbbing even more, and she rubbed her forehead, saying, "My head is really hurting so badly, you guys go and make me some medicine right away."

Jiang Huishu has always suffered from headaches, so she always keeps headache medication on hand.

When Madam Gu learned that a maid in her courtyard had been beaten to death, she naturally summoned her son to inquire about the situation.

Gu Bingkun arrived at Madam Gu's place, and the mother and son talked in the room for more than an hour. Gu Bingkun then returned to his study in the front yard and wrote a letter of divorce.

Some things no longer need to be verified. Gu Bingkun wrote this letter of divorce because he didn't have the face to force Jiang Huishu to continue being a Gu family wife, not because of the Empress's threat. After all, he didn't get to his current position by being a pushover.

So what if she's the Empress? Trying to force him to write a divorce agreement using her status is simply wishful thinking.

This shows that Gu Bingkun has truly fallen in love with Jiang Huishu, which is why he is now ashamed to face her.

But so what? Men like him who claim to be deeply affectionate are often the most disgusting. Whether it's his deceased wife or Jiang Huishu, Gu Bingkun has wronged both of them.

After her son left, Madam Gu said with a face full of self-reproach, "I was wrong. Knowing that Madam Jiang had such a niece, how could I still be so foolish as to continue making Madam Jiang drink contraceptive medicine? Otherwise, if Madam Jiang had a son or daughter, the Empress would not have been able to force my son to divorce her."

Seeing that Jiang Chunxi was about to become the birth mother of the next emperor, how could Old Madam Gu be willing to let Jiang Huishu leave the Gu family? That's why Old Madam Gu regrets it so much now, regretting how she got so senile.

That night, Gu Bingkun came to Jiang Huishu's place and gave her the divorce papers he had written.

Jiang Huishu looked at the divorce papers in her hand, then looked up at Gu Bingkun in disbelief: "Master, why is this happening! What did I do wrong that you have to divorce me?"

Don't misunderstand, Jiang Huishu isn't reluctant to divorce Gu Bingkun. She's actually very excited, but when she thinks of her niece in the palace, she suppresses her excitement.

“You did nothing wrong,” Gu Bingkun said, his eyes filled with guilt, apology, and unfathomable love. “I’m the one who’s wronged you. I never knew that after you married me, you had endured so much suffering in the Gu family.”

"Hui Shu!" Gu Bingkun shed tears of deep affection. "If only life could start over! If time could turn back, I would definitely treat you better and wouldn't let you suffer like this..."

“Master, please stop talking,” Jiang Huishu quickly interrupted Gu Bingkun, feeling disgusted by his overly sentimental words. “How can time that has passed be turned back? Master, please stop talking. It’s creepy.”

Gu Bingkun closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, he understood everything. Jiang Huishu clearly loathed him to the extreme.

When Gu Bingkun opened his eyes again, there was no longer any affection in them: "It was Her Majesty the Empress who wanted us to divorce, and I only wrote this divorce letter willingly after confirming the grievances you have suffered in the Gu family over the years."

"I see." Jiang Huishu looked down at the divorce agreement in her hand, her reason telling her that she couldn't accept it, since Chunxi could still use Gu Bingkun in the future.

But when Jiang Huishu thought that this was a divorce agreement that Chunxi had fought for for her, she really couldn't bring herself to return the divorce agreement to Gu Bingkun.

It was too oppressive. Even though she had become more comfortable in the Gu family over the years, the mental oppression still made her feel like she couldn't breathe. Now, the opportunity to break free from the Gu family's cage was being presented to her. The temptation was too great, so great that even though Jiang Huishu was still rational, she couldn't bear to let go of the divorce papers that were being handed to her.
