Medical Princess

Chapter 689 Concubine GU Conducted Black Box Work to Change the Census Register!

When Wen Xichi arrived at the mansion, it was already late.

It was after dinner time now, and his parents perhaps had already fallen asleep. Since he entered the Ministry of Justice, he had always been so busy that he could not meet his family when he went home.

The servant led his way with a lantern in his hand.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, the moment Wen Xichi wanted to step inside, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the figure under the pine tree at the gate.

“Third Cousin!” Gu Xishu walked out from under the tree timidly, followed by her servant girl, Liu Ye. The source of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

“Why are you here at this time?” Wen Xichi’s eyes fell on Gu Xishu. Ever since she had become his second brother’s concubine, they had had no contact in private and even rarely saw each other in the mansion.

He worked in the Ministry of Justice, so he rarely stayed in the mansion. Later, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, even if he saw Gu Xishu from a distance, he would quickly make a detour.

“Third Cousin...” Gu Xishu became more and more timid. Her delicate face was more and more pitiful. Her eyelashes fluttered twice, with all kinds of affection and infinite grievance in them. She looked at the man in front of her timidly, and she looked as gentle and beautiful as jade under the light.

No matter how hard-hearted a man was, his heart would become soft when he looked at such a girl.

“Concubine Gu, you are now Second Brother’s concubine. If you need help, you can go to Second Brother directly!” Wen Xichi looked at Gu Xishu calmly and interrupted her.

Their marriage had been decided, although they were not officially living together. So someone had called her that secretly, but this was the first time that Wen Xichi had called her that.

Gu Xishu’s eyes turned red, and then tears fell down one by one, which made her look miserable.

“Third Cousin... do you... do you really want to do this? Don’t you... don’t you know what kind of person I am? The reason why I am reduced to this situation... is also because of Third Cousin, Third Cousin, you...” While saying these grievous words, she began to sob with her head down, covering her face with a handkerchief.

Her clothes were thin and not expensive. Not only did those plain and thin clothes make her look pitiable, but also she was crying with her shoulders trembling. Even though she turned her back now, he could still feel her sadness and despair.

Her feelings for him?

Wen Xichi sneered in his heart. He reached out to pull his sleeves and said impatiently, “So Concubine Gu... are you here to avoid my second brother and to express your feelings to me?”

It was a man who said this, and a man whom she admired very much. His tone was so frivolous and his attitude was so sarcastic. Even though Gu Xishu had made up her mind, she was so shy that her face turned red. Now she was really crying, and her tears fell down one by one.

“Third Cousin... no matter what you say about me... you know my feelings. No matter what happens to me now, my feelings for you will never change!”

She choked with sobs.

The servant looked around with a bitter face and became vigilant. When cousin Miss had still been cousin Miss in the past, even though she did something a little out of line, it would not be a problem. But now that cousin Miss was the concubine of Second Young Master, how could she still have the face to come to his master and cry for affection? Wasn’t she going to make Second Young Master fight with his master?

In the past, cousin Miss had still done things in an orderly manner. However, ever since the matter between her and Second Young Master had been exposed, she had been acting a little absurdly. What was going on right now!

Was this something a concubine should do?

How shameless she was to say such words!

Was she certain that Third Young Master couldn’t do anything to her? Or was she sure that all men would be fooled by her?

In fact, the servant really looked down on Gu Xishu. In the past, before the incident broke out, he felt that she had still been a noble Miss. But now, she was extremely annoying. “Slutty” was the exact word to describe this previous cousin Miss and current Concubine Gu!

When he saw his master glancing at him, he could only raise his head helplessly and say, “Concubine Gu, please go back. If you have anything to say, go tell Second Young Master. If you want to leave the mansion, go tell Prime Minister and Madam. No matter what happens to you, Third Young Master has nothing to do with Concubine Gu’s affairs!”

Knowing that his master didn’t even want to talk to her, the servant could only become the bad guy.

He spoke with a bitter expression while glancing at his master. He did not know if his master still wanted to talk to Concubine Gu here.

Wen Xichi turned around to walk inside.

“Third Cousin...” Gu Xishu was very anxious. She took two steps forward to pull Wen Xichi’s sleeves, but was thrown away by him.

“Concubine Gu, please behave yourself? If you keep pestering me, then I will go find Second Brother!” Wen Xichi said coldly. His gaze swept over Gu Xishu’s exquisitely made-up face and a hint of mockery appeared on his lips.

He was not his Second Brother!

Seeing him enter the door, the servant hurried to follow him. Afraid that Gu Xishu would pester him shamelessly, he hurriedly asked the old maid who guarded the gate to close the gate door.

Seeing that the door was slammed shut and hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Gu Xishu showed cold anger on her face. She kicked a tree on the side of the road, which made her foot so painful, but she gritted her teeth and suppressed her pain in the bottom of her heart.

She needed to endure it! She had to do so!

First Miss Shao had told her that if she couldn’t bear it at this time, she wouldn’t have any opportunities in the future. No matter what happened, she had to endure it. But the current situation couldn’t wait!

“Miss...” Seeing that she stood there and didn’t leave, Liu Ye reminded her in a low voice. In fact, this title was not appropriate in terms of etiquette. However, after Gu Xishu had cried in front of Wen Xichi’s mother, Wen Xichi’s mother had agreed to this inappropriate title and they used her previous title in the mansion.

“What should I do now?” Gu Xishu said to herself. Her eyes fell on the tightly closed door of the courtyard, and there was a trace of gloom in her eyes.

“Shall we tell First Miss Shao... It put you in an awkward situation...” Liu Ye suggested.

“No! That will make Shao Yanru look down on me. If I ask her for help in the future, she will also ignore me!” Gu Xishu shook her head and refused.

She and Shao Yanru had grown up together. At that time, the two families had opened a side door because the children in the mansion had been very young. The two scheming girls had connected with each other at that time.

The longer they had been together, the more Gu Xishu had known about Shao Yanru. If she had no value, she would not be of any use to Shao Yanru. In that case, whatever she asked for in the future would fail.

She had to make Shao Yanru see her value. Even though she still held the title of Second Cousin’s concubine, it didn’t matter! Madam had promised her that she would be given the position of official wife.

Even if it was possible... Anyway, she had not really gotten married yet, so everything was still possible!

“Go find my second cousin!” She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. If Wen Xichi couldn’t help her, then she would go to find Wen Shian. Her second cousin would definitely help her.

However, she did not want Wen Shian to help her. She wanted to capture Third Cousin. Anyway, she and Second Cousin had not officially consummated their marriage, so it didn’t matter even if she married Third Cousin in the future. At most, she would just need to cry more in front of her uncle and aunt. Even if she could not marry Third Cousin and be his wife, she could still be a co-wife or a concubine.

The reason why she was so confident now was that she had received news about her father’s promotion some time ago.

This time, if her father got promoted and went to the capital city properly, the things that had happened between her and her second cousin might be written off. She could definitely marry her second cousin and be his wife, but it would not be so easy to marry her third cousin. After all, she was the one who had been engaged to her second cousin.

But if there was some help, such a thing was not impossible to do.

Shao Yanru was a very good help. In the past, as long as there was a chance, she would play up to Shao Yanru and Madam of Duke Xing. She just wanted to use them at such a critical time.

This time, not only did she have to help, but she also had to do a good job. Moreover, Dr. Qiu’s matter originally had something to do with her...

“What? Change the census register?” Wen Shian put down the book in surprise and asked in astonishment.

He was the most leisurely one among the three brothers of the Wen family. He was not as steady as the Eldest Young Master, nor was he as talented as Wen Xichi. In the past, people that he dealt with were just ordinary people in the marketplace, but his romantic character was no less than that of some playboys.

Although he was holding a book in his hand and sitting in his study, in fact, it was just light reading, and it was even a book that could be used in a brothel. At this time, when he saw his cousin sister coming, he would definitely not let her see it.

“Yes, Second Cousin, do you still remember that Dr. Qiu?” Gu Xishu stood in front of Wen Shian with a sad face. Her carefully made-up little face made Wen Shian feel itchy in his heart.

Although Gu Xishu had been engaged to him in the name of a concubine, his legal wife had not been selected, so he could only look at Gu Xishu from a distance and could not stay close to her. Every time he deliberately leaned over, Gu Xishu even looked as if he had done something wrong.

He really had a lot of affection for this cousin and did not want to make her unhappy like this. However, his marriage had been delayed for a long time. Every time it was about to succeed, something would happen. Even when the two families were about to get married, a young Miss had had an accident and lost her life.

It was said that he would bring his wife misfortunes. There were even rumors spreading that his fate was so hard that he would cause someone to die.

His marriage had been delayed again and again, so that Mrs. Wen wanted to marry Gu Xishu directly to Wen Shian as his legal wife, and told him secretly.

Wen Shian was also very satisfied about this, but as for the details, he had to wait for his uncle-in-law and aunt’s intention.

In Wen Shian’s heart, Gu Xishu was his woman. At this time, his woman was in trouble, so he was still willing to help her. However, this matter was a little difficult to deal with. He only had a post with very little to do, so he was not capable of dealing with this matter.

“I remember that Dr. Qiu, but why does he want to change his census register?” When it came to Dr. Qiu, Wen Shian nodded. It was said that Dr. Qiu was a relative of cousin sister in a roundabout way, although he was an extremely distant relative.

When he had first come to the capital city, this Doctor Qiu had lived in his mansion and later been to Duke Xing’s Mansion. The reason why Wen Shian remembered it so clearly was that he had been injured at that time, and it was this Doctor Qiu who had cured his injury easily. He approved of Doctor Qiu’s medical skills.
