Chapter 112: Chapter 61 The Passion for Cut Sleeves_2

“Then you have committed the sins worthy of divorce for jealousy, and he can certainly divorce you.”

“Yes, it would be for the best.”

“Who would want a jealous first wife, especially one who has been married before and even brought a son along?”

“Let us see him. I need to tell him that you are blocking us…”

…

Gu Changsheng really had a headache, having seen shameless people before, but never so blatantly shameless ones. These women were truly unmatched!

...

There’s a saying that goes, ‘A person who is shameless is invincible,’ and they were truly not far from being invincible!

It’s all the evildoer’s fault! Gu Changsheng cursed bitterly, his eyes slightly squinted. An idea came to his mind. He bent his head with a sly smile, then suppressed his entire aura, leaned weakly against Xiao Cui, showing a sorrowful expression on his face, and started stammeringly, “Since all of you ladies insist on this, Changsheng cannot be that jealous woman, it’s not that Changsheng is obstructing you, it’s just… my husband is not at home right now.”

“Not at home? Wasn’t he here yesterday?”

“You must be lying!” the crowd accused.

“Ah…” Gu Changsheng sighed mournfully, raising his hand to cover his face, a picture of utter bitterness, “to bring it up is just a flood of bitter tears, Changsheng finds it somewhat difficult to speak…”

The crowd was momentarily stunned, but their competitive spirit quickly returned.

“Just spit it out, who are you putting on this act for? Everyone knows you’re famously fierce.”

“Exactly, having such a woman, he must have suffered so much humiliation, you being so aggressive and unreasonable…”

So you’re here to rescue him from dire straits? Really, such morally upright and noble motives!

Wanting to be the mistress with such righteousness, what else could she say?

“Yesterday he was indeed at home, but wasn’t the Prince setting out on a campaign yesterday?” Gu Changsheng continued with teary eyes covered, “My husband, highly valued by the Prince… is inseparable from him, deeply bonded… I can only languish alone at home, day by day pining for him but unable to see him, what can I do…”

Xiao Cui and the others were utterly dumbfounded, and the other women were shocked as well.

A cunning smile played across Gu Changsheng’s face, hidden under his sleeves. He wasn’t wrong—the evildoer definitely stayed close to the Prince, surely deeply bonded with the Prince, right?

Seizing the moment of shock among the ladies, Gu Changsheng boldly dropped another bombshell, “Just as you ladies rightly said, my husband is outstanding and noble, your longing for him is understandable, but to compete with the Prince… even Changsheng wouldn’t dare dream of it, you…”

You want to court death, go ahead, I won’t stop you, Gu Changsheng added inwardly.

Silence fell around, and Gu Changsheng only heard the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, and then peeking through his sleeves, he saw several women’s retreating backs scattering like birds and beasts.

“Tsk!” Gu Changsheng quickly dropped his hand, a look of disdain on his face, “So much for wanting to be the mistress, how they might die without even knowing.”

Xiao Cui and the others exchanged glances, and Uncle Song promptly shut the door.

“Lady, what did you mean by what you just said?” Xiao Cui followed behind his lady with a puzzled expression, unable to help but ask.

“What did I mean? The literal meaning,” Gu Changsheng responded nonchalantly without turning back.

“But the Prince…” Xiao Cui looked helplessly at Han Qiu, at a loss for words.

“What about him? Did I say anything wrong? I didn’t say anything, and how those brainless ones interpret it is their business, it has nothing to do with your lady here,” Gu Changsheng marched on to the martial training ground in the backyard, kicking his legs as he walked.

Framing her with an unexpectedly acquired ‘husband,’ how could she not play them at their own game? Misery loves company, after all, it’s only fair.

Gu Changsheng hummed a tune as he went off to exercise, leaving behind the speechless crowd.

In fact, what the lady said, if you really think about it, wasn’t wrong at all, but it sounded completely different to others.

A woman’s mouth is like running water. The morning wasn’t even over yet, and a new wave of rumors started, this time starring the high and mighty Prince and his subordinate, and Gu Changsheng ended up as the tragic side character.

Eunuch Yuan Bao arrived right on time for the meal, his round body barely squeezing through the back door, then scratched his head in confusion, asking the door-opening Uncle Song, “What happened this early in the morning?”

Uncle Song thought seriously for a moment then resolutely shook his head, “Nothing happened.”

“Then why do people on the street look at me so strangely…” he continued scratching his head. Those dodging glances, devoid of the usual respect, mixed with a hint of ambiguity, a bit of scrutiny, it was too bizarre.

Undeterred, Yuan Bao repeatedly sought confirmation from everyone at the table.

However, everyone unanimously shook their heads indicating they knew nothing, only Changsheng’s Mother smiled very contentedly.

Yuan Bao, holding a jade-green dumpling, carefully looked at her, “Lady Changsheng, did really nothing happen?”

Gu Changsheng leisurely sipped her porridge, “Of course, everything’s calm here, what could possibly happen?”

Yuan Bao felt something was off; Lady Changsheng was too composed, a composure that made his heart clench, definitely not a sign of something good.

With his mouth full and hands full of food, Yuan Bao hurriedly ran off; he had to quickly find out whether some significant event had taken place that changed people’s gaze toward him.

“Tsk, tsk…see, wasn’t Mother right? Zhou Mu, that evildoer, is too good at attracting followers, definitely not a good match,” Gu Changsheng watched Yuan Bao’s retreating figure and added a few greens to Little Meat Bun’s plate, “Listen to Mother, it’s always right.”

Back at the County Prince’s Mansion, after a little inquiry, Eunuch Yuan Bao broke down in tears, discovering the truth—that his dear Commandery Prince had a penchant for the same sex, and coincidentally, Commandery Prince’s special someone was Changsheng’s Mother’s ‘husband’, the Commandery Prince himself!

Lady Changsheng, really so scheming! How could she besmirch his master like that!
