Chapter 472: Chapter 331: Forcing the Son, Drawing Swords and Crossbows

Yan Qinrui spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and Gu Changsheng felt a surge of anger!

"Shut up!" Gu Changsheng coldly shouted at once, cutting off Yan Qinrui’s endless chatter!

Yan Qinrui’s words could not be accused of ignoring the bigger picture or lacking grandeur! However, the underlying meaning was unmistakably clear!

She was threatening her, Gu Changsheng! Using her son, Little Bun, to threaten her, Gu Changsheng!

A dragon has its reverse scales, touch them and it will kill!

And Gu Changsheng’s reverse scale was her Little Bun son, whom she held in her palm fearfully and cherished in her mouth lest he dissolve!

Gu Changsheng’s large phoenix eyes dangerously narrowed into slits, her fingers gradually clenched, "Heir’s wife Yan Qinrui, is it?"

"Hmm?" Yan Qinrui instinctively responded, puzzled.

Gu Changsheng, tall and regal, stood atop the stairs. The wind whipped up her blood-red robes, creating a rustling sound that added a sharp edge to her demeanor. She simply glared at Yan Qinrui, her murderous aura instantly spreading, causing one’s heart to tremble with fear.

With a sweep of her blood-drenched sleeves, Gu Changsheng, a fierce look on her face, spoke in a deep voice, "Set aside those thoughts you shouldn’t harbor! It’s one thing to target me, but if you dare lay schemes against my son..."

"I, Gu Changsheng, will grind your bones and scatter your ashes!"

Under the overwhelming pressure of Gu Changsheng’s formidable aura, Yan Qinrui staggered back in panic, steadying herself only with the help of her maids Chun Hua and Qiu Yue, her face a mask of disbelief as she spoke, "Sister..."

"Stop calling me sister! I, Gu Changsheng, am the sole daughter of the Gu Family. You are not worthy to be my sister!" Gu Changsheng said coldly.

Seeing this, Yan Qinrui lowered her head to hide a slight smirk.

Angered! Being angry means she cares!

That ominously born evildoer, he is indeed Gu Changsheng’s weakness!

Yan Qinrui couldn’t help but feel elated, having been suppressed by Gu Changsheng from their meeting, that discovery suddenly gave her a glimpse of hopeful dawn, how could she not be overjoyed?

"Gu... Gu Changsheng, a mother is strong, I can empathize with that, but after all, your son is innocent. Can you bear to let him grow up amidst the world’s ridicule and scorn?" Yan Qinrui suppressed her Schadenfreude, her face full of sorrow as she spoke, as if Little Bun were her own son.

"Shut up! Do not let me hear even a whisper about my son from your mouth, or you’ll have no one to blame but yourself for my mercilessness!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face flushed with anger, her heart raced like thundering horses, on the verge of rampage.

Gu Changsheng vividly remembered the many times her son was mistreated and ignored in Li Mansion!

Even now, Gu Changsheng still remembered the scene from her first encounter with Little Bun, such a tiny, frail little person, shivering and hardly close even to his own mother, making anyone who saw him feel an overwhelming pity!

He was just a little lump! Just a mere little lump!

That was enough to obliterate the familial blood ties, making the hard-hearted people of Li Mansion treat him so harshly!

Every time Gu Changsheng recalled the injustices and sufferings her precious Little Bun had endured, her heart clenched tightly, the pain nearly suffocating her!

Seeing this, Yan Qinrui, unafraid, felt joy, a gleam in her eyes as myriad thoughts spun in her mind.

The onlookers seeing this began to worry.

"The Princely Heir’s wife makes a point though, the Young Master of Gu Residence is after all blood of the Li Family, and being cast aside like this really isn’t proper..."

"True, but the heir of Li Mansion has remarried, and with a new mother comes a new father. Even if Lady Changsheng and the Young Master return to Li Mansion, what advantage can they possibly gain? Once you enter a Marquis’s Household, it’s as deep as the ocean, and the vile deeds in those grand household’s backyards are not few in the plays!"

"Although that makes sense, if Lady Changsheng were to remarry, who could guarantee that a stepfather would be any better than a real father?"

"Well, that depends on whom Lady Changsheng marries. If she marries..."

"..."

The spectators’ whispers did not interfere with the tense and highly charged atmosphere in front of the Longevity Medical Hall.

"Lady! Calm down! Calm down! Don’t get upset over these outsiders, it’s not worth it!" Seeing his lady getting seriously upset, Dong Lei adeptly stepped forward to help calm her down.

Gu Changsheng finally managed to quell the rage in her chest, looking down at Yan Qinrui standing below.

Eyes meeting, this time Yan Qinrui did not look away.

Targeting the vitals of a snake, she had found Gu Changsheng’s weakness, what was there to fear?

Suddenly, Yan Qinrui’s confidence swelled to unprecedented levels!

Seeing Gu Changsheng so angry, the smile in Yhan Qinrui’s eyes grew even more apparent.

"Gu Changsheng, Qinrui will repeat the same words, hoping you will consider your son and come back to the Capital City with me. By doing so, Qinrui can guarantee his lifelong peace. Even if he cannot inherit the Marquis position of Li Mansion, he can still be protected by Li Mansion and receive a sum of silver to live as an idle wealthy man!" Yhan Qinrui straightened her back, saying so clearly.

Upon hearing this, the anger on Gu Changsheng’s face dissipated in an instant, and he suddenly burst into a carefree and unrestrained laughter.

"Receive a sum of silver to live as a wealthy man? Princely Heir’s wife, are you joking?" Gu Changsheng pointed at Yhan Qinrui and spoke sarcastically, "How much is Marquis’s position of Li Mansion worth in silver? How much silver can you give to my son? This is truly the most absurd joke I have ever heard!"

"Heir’s wife Yhan Qinrui, open your eyes wide and see clearly, just the construction of this mansion alone cost no less than Three hundred thousand taels of silver, not to mention the interior decorations. Just by a rough estimate, merely my residence is worth a million taels of silver!"

"Heir’s wife, even if your Marquis of Weiyuan’s Li Mansion combined with your mother’s Ministry of War, might you come up with a million taels of silver?"

Having said this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "To think you can dismiss my son with just a country wealthy man, what audacity you have to say such things!"

"I, Gu Changsheng, own countless silver and luxurious properties in Hua Mansion, and every month alone, the free treatments I offer already use up a fortune, why would I be tempted by your petty inducement?"

"Are you too foolish, or too naive? To let my son give up the comfortable life he has for the den of wolves back in the Capital City is either thinking me a fool, or too naive!"

As Gu Changsheng spoke these words, he couldn’t help but sneer repeatedly.

Yhan Qinrui was trying to scheme something, and although he might not know everything, he could guess quite a bit!

Woman’s heart, it’s indeed smaller than the eye of a needle!

Woman’s eyes, they truly cannot tolerate even a speck of sand!

For some past affairs that didn’t exist, Yhan Qinrui schemed against her, and she accepted it, but if it was schemed against her son, that was absolutely unacceptable!

She, Gu Changsheng, would not allow anyone to harm her Little Bun, not even a slight bit, not even in thought!

In this matter, Gu Changsheng was more determined than ever!

Upon hearing this, Yhan Qinrui lowered her head in defeat...

As Gu Changsheng had stated, even combined, the assets of Marquis of Weiyuan’s Li Mansion and Ministry of War might not equal a million, but...

Yhan Qinrui secretly pinched Qiu Yue.

Understanding the signal, Qiu Yue immediately stepped forward furiously, "Hey! You as a wife are truly crossing the line!"

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow watching the small actions between Yhan Qinrui and her servant, and waved at Dong Lei.

Seeing this, Dong Lei, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, finally erupted, his hands on his hips as he pointed at Qiu Yue and burst out, "Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about? It’s clearly you who are crossing the line and being shameless! My lady was abandoned by Li Mansion, endured endless hardships, and finally had a few peaceful days, yet you come to disturb us again! What do you mean by this?"

"Don’t think the little schemes you play are unknown to others! If my lady and Young Master were to go to the Capital City, wouldn’t that be like sending sheep into a tiger’s den, at your mercy?"

"You! Do not use the logic of a scoundrel to judge the belly of a gentleman!" Qiu Yue stamped her foot in frustration and retorted.

"My lady says that narrow-minded people always see others as narrow-minded! Only you consider yourselves as the good guys!" Dong Lei’s beautiful face turned bright red with anger, defiantly shouting back, "You even dare to bring up the Young Master, let me tell you, the Young Master is our Gu Residence’s Young Master, his surname is Gu, not Li! Daring to use the Young Master for scheming, you truly do not know how to live and even plot your own demise!"

"What a cunning tongue you have! Even if your rude maid’s tongue shines like a lotus, it doesn’t change the fact that Gu Changsheng’s son is of Li Mansion’s bloodline! Our Heir’s wife is virtuous and kind, compassionate and merciful, taking Gu Changsheng’s son back to the Capital City to provide him a shelter is already his great fortune!" Qiu Yue said, sneering dismissively.

"You! You!" Dong Lei was so angry he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

The scene became increasingly filled with smoke from the verbal battle, leaving the onlookers stunned and speechless.

"Lady Changsheng, as my maid has said, your son was born under an ominous star, a person burdened with deep sins sent by the Deities, is there anywhere under heaven that can shelter him?" Yhan Qinrui stepped forward solemnly and spoke slowly.

At these words, Gu Changsheng furrowed his eyebrows tightly, and the veins on his forehead started pulsating...

Ancient people were ignorant and worshipped ghosts and spirits!

What a move Yhan Qinrui had made! To dare to put such a big hat on her family’s Little Bun!

The words of Yhan Qinrui were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and causing the surrounding onlookers to step back in shock.

No matter if Yhan Qinrui was telling the truth or not, just the involvement of Deities made them sincerely reverent!

"Yhan Qinrui! You had better watch your mouth!" Gu Changsheng’s whole being was cold and sharp as a knife, as he intensely glared at Yhan Qinrui and spoke.

The angrier Gu Changsheng got, the happier Yhan Qinrui felt inside, and hearing his words, she did not back down but retorted clearly, "Why deceive yourself? Even if you hide your son well, the world will eventually know he is an evildoer, won’t they?"

"Even if you own Mountains of Gold and Silver, what does it matter? You had an evildoer, and that cannot be changed!"
