Chapter 100 Aunt Fang and her brother-in-law's affair

After Chu Ruohan left the study, she was both angry at Gu Junze's arrogance and heartbroken that he had become so self-conscious and timid because of his leg ailment.

She is now the wife of the heir apparent of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, and the future wife of the Marquis, so she will not divorce him.

She took a deep breath, grabbed her books, and left.

Once Chu Ruohan had completely disappeared from sight, Gu Junze called out, "Yingqing."

"Sir."

Gu Junze tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

His gaze was sharp as he looked at Ying Qing. Though his voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority: "Give the order to have the Shadow Guards act according to the situation."

Ying Qing nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. "Yes."

Chu Chenyu took the book from Chu Ruohan with such gentle movements that it was as if she were holding a rare treasure.

He turned the pages, his gaze slowly sweeping over the yellowed paper. After a few pages, he couldn't help but look up, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

"Sister, these are all rare and unique copies by famous artists. You can't find them anywhere else on the market, no matter how much money you spend. Where did you get them?"

Chu Ruohan's lips curled into a slight smile, "The Crown Prince's study."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chenyu, as if afraid that the precious book would fly away, tightened her arms and hugged it tightly to her chest.

His careful manner made it seem as if he were holding all his precious treasures in his arms.

Just then, a nimble figure darted in from outside the door, and a clear voice called out, "Sister is back."

Chu Yueshu looked exceptionally energetic in her neat short-sleeved outfit.

Chu Ruohan frowned slightly upon seeing her attire. Yue Shu usually loved those beautiful dresses with exquisite embroidery, so her appearance today was quite unusual.

Before Chu Ruohan could even ask, Chu Yueshu eagerly said, "Sister, I heard from the Shadow Guard that you've been practicing martial arts lately?"

Yingqing?

Yingqing has always been loyal to Gu Junze, and usually stays by his side all day long, almost never leaving his side. When did she come into contact with Chu Yueshu?

Chu Ruohan didn't know when he had left Hongmeng Academy.

“The Shadow Guard said that women should always learn some self-defense skills so that they won’t be bullied by outsiders in the future.”

As Chu Yueshu spoke, a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes, "The Shadow Guard gave me a martial arts manual. Sister, would you like to have a spar?"

Chu Ruohan was surprised to hear that Ying Qing was mentioned in every other sentence.

She had two purposes for returning to her parents' home: first, to deliver these precious books to Chu Chenyu, and second, to discuss Chu Yueshu's matter.

Wei Qiming has now received his just deserts and has been sentenced to exile in Pingzhou, posing no threat to Chu Yueshu.

The marriage between Chu Yueshu and Ying Qing was initially just a temporary measure to deal with the crisis; it was a sham from the start.

Chu Ruohan had come back with the intention of discussing the annulment of the engagement with her parents.

But seeing Chu Yueshu's current appearance and the admiration she expressed for Yingqing, Chu Ruohan changed her mind and thought that perhaps it wouldn't hurt to postpone the marriage for the time being.

She was never one to care about social status or family background. If Chu Yueshu and Ying Qing really did spark a romance, it would be a pleasant surprise, a happy accident.

As she was pondering this, Chu Ruohan casually asked, "Where is Aunt Fang?"

In the past, whenever she went back to her parents' home, Aunt Fang would always find various excuses to hang around in front of her and make sure she was present.

Moreover, ever since Chu Nanxin entered the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, she has stopped Chu Nanxin from sending messages to the Chu family and from sending people to visit Chu Nanxin at the mansion.

Aunt Fang must be extremely anxious about Chu Nanxin's situation. Logically speaking, now that I've returned, she should be eager to get some information out of me.

Upon hearing this, Chu's mother gave Chu Ruohan a reproachful look and said, "Aunt Fang has caught a cold recently and has been resting in her room. You too, why didn't you bring Nanxin back with you?"

Chu Ruohan smiled faintly and remained silent.

Instead, Chu Yueshu curled her lip, her face full of disdain and annoyance.

Since that incident, Chu Yueshu has seen through Chu Nanxin's true colors. Now, she not only doesn't like her, but she hates her so much that she doesn't even want to hear her name.

All that talk about gentleness, kindness, and sisterly affection—in the end, they didn't all come from the same womb.

She grabbed Chu Ruohan's arm, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"Sister, forget about those troublesome things. Let's go to the courtyard and have a spar. There are many moves in the manual that the Shadow Guard gave me that I want to try. I've been looking forward to exchanging a few blows with you for a long time."

As she spoke, she grabbed Chu Ruohan's hand and walked briskly towards the courtyard.

Even with their mediocre skills, they could still exchange blows...

On the other side, Aunt Fang changed into a maid's clothes and quietly left through the back door without alerting anyone.

Deep in a secluded alley, their footsteps quickened.

As soon as I entered, I was embraced tightly.

"I've missed you so much."

The man's voice was hoarse with urgency as he hugged Aunt Fang tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

Chu Ang's hands roamed freely over Aunt Fang's body, and then he brought his face close and kissed her without saying a word.

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more intense and Chu Ang was overcome with emotion, Aunt Fang suddenly came to her senses and forcefully pushed Chu Ang away.

Chu Ang stared at her in astonishment, his eyes still brimming with lingering lust.

Aunt Fang was slightly out of breath, a blush rising on her face, but her eyes held a hint of shyness and joy.

She gently touched her lower abdomen and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm pregnant."

"Really?" Chu Ang's eyes widened, a look of disbelief and surprise flashing across his face, followed by an instant surge of ecstasy.

He hugged Aunt Fang tightly again, but this time, his movements were much gentler. "I'm going to be a father again. This time you have to give me a son."

Aunt Fang, however, was filled with anxiety, her brows furrowed into a deep frown. "I wonder how Nanxin is doing in that Marquis's mansion, whether she's suffered any hardship or injustice. I just can't stop worrying about her."

"Don't worry, we will naturally protect our daughter well. I will definitely find a way."

“That’s the Marquis of Anyang’s mansion after all. That bitch Chu Ruohan is so cruel. Ever since Nan Xin entered the mansion, she has been making things difficult for me at every turn. She won’t even let me see Nan Xin.”

Whenever Chu Ruohan was mentioned, Aunt Fang's eyes practically spit fire.

"Don't worry, her smugness won't last long..."
