The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 1833: 1833 The Only Purpose
Chapter 1833: 1833 The Only Purpose
“How could I be the third party? The marriage between Xiao Yuchuan and me was arranged by his parents back then.” Gongsun Qianru was furious, seething inside, but tears of heartbreak flowed down her face. “Fu Chou, I’ve always been just a weak girl who couldn’t hurt a fly. Is that how you see me?”
“I’m sorry…” he wiped the tears from her face.
She cried, “I know that you feel uncomfortable with my going to mourn the Xiao Chonghuan couple.” Suddenly, she smiled. “I’m very happy. It shows you’re jealous, it shows you care about me.”
His facial expression stiffened, “Is that so.”
“Fu Chou, rest assured, all those past feelings and love are gone.” She leaned into his embrace again. “Now, my whole being, my whole heart belongs to you. I only love you. Do you love me?”
“I do.”
She looked up, surprised and delighted, “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you,” he said. “If you’re willing, I can go to the Gongsun Mansion to propose marriage, and have your older brother return Ministry Councillor Li’s betrothal gifts.”
She covered his mouth, “No need, my older brother would kill me. Being by your side already makes me very happy.” When he is no longer a criminal one day, perhaps, she could consider marrying him.
“Then you…” he asked, a bit heartbroken, “Are you really planning to marry that old thing, Ministry Councillor Li?”
“I don’t want to.” She said tentatively, “Fu Chou, I don’t want to marry him. How about we elope?”
She was testing his intentions. If he agreed to elope, it would mean he had ulterior motives against Su Qingyue. As long as he was willing to betray Su Qingyue, then using his hand to kill Su Qingyue wouldn’t be difficult.
This was her only purpose in climbing into his bed.
She wanted Su Qingyue, who ruined her lifelong happiness, to die a miserable death!
Fu Chou didn’t expect her to say that, and his face was full of difficulty.
She asked sadly, “You don’t want to? You said I’m afraid of being implicated by you, and that’s why I won’t marry you. God knows I’ve already given myself to you, my heart only has you in it, how could I be afraid of being implicated by you?” Afraid but wouldn’t admit it, “I just don’t want the Gongsun Family to return Ministry Councillor Li’s betrothal gifts and go back on their word. After all, I’m a daughter of the Gongsun Family and cannot ignore the family’s reputation. But I also can’t let go of you, I don’t want to marry anyone else. Let’s elope, and not care about right and wrong in the capital any longer…”
“You also know I’m Zhao Mingcheng. If I resign from my position as the Tianji Pavilion Manager, that would be betraying the Pavilion Master.” He said, “I know too much about the Tianji Pavilion’s affairs. If I betray the Pavilion Master, there’s only a dead end for me. The Pavilion Master won’t let me go.”
Gongsun Qianru had already guessed that the Tianji Pavilion rose rapidly in the past five years, having done countless unspeakable things during that time. As one of the main managers, Fu Chou must have done many dark deeds for the Tianji Pavilion.
She didn’t have the ability to topple all the forces of the Tianji Pavilion.
She only wanted Su Qingyue dead, she was almost driven mad by it!
Thus, she led Fu Chou step by step into the trap of killing Su Qingyue.
Su Qingyue now was obstructing her and Fu Chou’s elopement. For Fu Chou to kill her would be only natural, wouldn’t it?
She leaned on his shoulder with a troubled face, “What should we do then? How about…” her tone became cautious, “how about killing Su Qingyue?”
At her words, a glint of killing intent flashed in Fu Chou’s eyes momentarily, then disappeared. “The Pavilion Master is my savior. Without her back then, I’d be long dead.”
“Why are you working for the Tianji Pavilion? How did she save you?”
“In the past, I was bent on revenge and challenged several experts in the martial world, getting seriously injured. The Pavilion Master saved me. She knew my identity and thus made a pact with me, I’d help her build power, and she’d help overturn the Zhao Family’s case when the time was ripe.”
