Chapter 57 Do you even find touching disgusting?
The carriage rumbled forward, and suddenly the carriage shook violently. Caught off guard, Chu Nanxin stumbled and fell into Gu Chengyan's arms.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly at Gu Chengyan, her voice soft and tinged with shyness as she called out, "Chengyan..."
Her eyes, full of tender emotion, seemed to want to pour out all her grievances and longing.
However, Gu Chengyan seemed to have been burned, his face darkened, and he pushed her away without hesitation.
Chu Nan lost her balance and fell inside the carriage. Her eyes were filled with shock and hurt as she looked at Gu Chengyan in disbelief.
But Gu Chengyan's eyes were filled with disgust when he looked at her.
If Chu Ruohan hadn't framed him, he wouldn't have been caught in bed with someone else and become a laughing stock among the young noblemen of the capital!
His excellent reputation was ruined by this woman!
She still dares to seduce him; what a shameless slut.
Tears welled up in Chu Nan's eyes, and she choked out, "Cheng Yan, how could you be so heartless?"
Gu Chengyan's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust, and his voice was icy cold: "Listen to me carefully. From now on, you'd better put away those inappropriate thoughts and stay quietly in the Marquis's mansion."
"Thoughts you shouldn't have?" Chu Nanxin's body trembled slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to let the tears fall. "I'm already married to you, do you even find the act of touching disgusting?"
Feeling frustrated, Gu Chengyan abruptly lifted the carriage curtain and gazed at the street scene rushing past outside, trying to calm himself down.
He recalled the embarrassing scene of being caught by everyone, and anger surged up in his heart again.
Chu Ruohan, that vicious woman, how dare she scheme against him like this! He would be no gentleman if he didn't avenge her!
The position of heir apparent will only belong to him.
Just as they were enjoying their triumph for a while...
Chu Nanxin silently got up and curled up in a corner of the carriage, no longer looking at Gu Chengyan. Her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing her grief.
In his eyes, she was such a despicable person.
Two carriages slowly came to a stop in front of the Chu family's gate, with red silk hanging high and a continuous stream of people coming to offer their congratulations.
The gate of the Chu family was already crowded with servants waiting to greet them. As soon as the carriage stopped, they rushed to meet it.
Although Gu Junze was in a wheelchair, his extraordinary aura was impossible to ignore.
He wore a moon-white brocade robe, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered in silver thread on the hem, which further accentuated his elegant demeanor.
Standing beside him was Chu Ruohan, dressed in a peach-colored silk dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a blooming peach blossom, beautiful and charming.
One was aloof and noble, the other gentle and bright; they were like a perfect couple, making the surrounding scenery pale in comparison.
Merchants who had business dealings with the Chu family gathered around.
"Greetings, Your Highness, and Your Highness's wife." One of the slightly plump merchants said with a hint of obsequiousness.
Both of Chu's daughters have married into the Marquis of Anyang's household; their future prospects are limitless!
To be able to get so close to someone of such high status is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Gu Junze glanced at everyone with a nonchalant expression, nodded slightly in response, and Chu Ruohan took Ying Qing's place, pushing him straight into the mansion.
On the other hand, as soon as Chu Nanxin got off the carriage, she was ignored by everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at those faces trying to please Chu Ruohan, she wanted to grind her teeth in anger.
She's just a prince's wife, everyone in the capital knows that Gu Junze is poisoned and won't live much longer. Let's see how long she can be so smug.
Gu Chengyan, however, was already used to it. His face was gloomy, and his disgust for Gu Junze grew even stronger. He snorted coldly and strode into the Chu family home.
Aunt Fang held Chu Nanxin's hand tightly, her eyes filled with heartache, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes red?" Her worried gaze swept back and forth over Chu Nanxin.
Chu Nanxin is now only a concubine, not even as good as a maid in the Marquis's mansion, so naturally she doesn't get the privilege of returning home.
This was the first time Aunt Fang had seen her since her daughter got married, and naturally she was very concerned about her, her heart was entirely focused on her.
Chu Nan forced a smile, but her lips looked stiff and bitter.
"It's nothing. It was just windy when I got off the bus, and I squinted."
She didn't want her aunt to worry, nor did she want the rest of the Chu family to know that she was unhappy.
"That's good. Gu Chengyan, he..." Aunt Fang's words still carried some unease, but she swallowed them back helplessly.
That was the Marquis of Anyang's residence; what could she do but silently swallow her worries?
Chu Ruohan's gaze fell on the mother and daughter, but a mocking smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!
In her previous life, after Chu Nanxin married into the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, she not only helped Gu's mother to wantonly abuse her, but also exaggerated and recounted her various misfortunes in the Marquis's mansion back to the Chu family.
Her parents were worried day and night. They tried everything to rescue her from the Gu family, but they not only gave away their vast fortune but also lost their lives.
In this life, Chu Ruohan simply used the same method.
Chu Nanxin is not doing well in the Marquis's mansion, so Aunt Fang is naturally not going to have any peace either.
It's just a cycle of cause and effect; retribution is inevitable.
Chu Ruohan slightly raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of determination and coldness, before returning to normal after a moment.
Chu Ruohan turned her head and looked at her mother, her voice gentle, "Mother, where is Yue Shu? Doesn't she usually love lively occasions like this?"
Chu's mother waved her hand gently and said, "Who knows? That mischievous boy is always up to no good. He's probably off playing somewhere again."
"I'll go look for her. I hope that girl doesn't cause any trouble."
"Go!"
Knowing the deep bond between the two sisters, Chu's mother was busy with social engagements. Little did she know that Chu Yueshu had already been taken out of the Chu family home.
In the garden corridor, Chu Ruohan encountered Chu Yueshu's maid. The maid looked flustered and hurried, as if she had seen Chu Ruohan as a savior.
"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! The Second Young Miss has gone missing!"
Xiao Cui sobbed, "The second young lady said she was going to prepare a surprise for the master, but she disappeared in just a short while. I've been searching around here for a long time, but I haven't been able to find her."
Chu Ruohan's expression instantly turned serious. She took a deep breath, quickly calmed herself down, and whispered, "Don't panic. Go ask the other servants if anyone has seen where the Second Miss went. I will also send people to search secretly. Do not make a fuss."
The maid nodded repeatedly and hurried away.
