Chapter 1360: Chapter 1361: Accident

Chu Residence!

The sleepless young master of the Chu family was waiting in the front courtyard. Hearing the footsteps behind him, the young master didn’t turn around but asked indifferently, "Have you thoroughly investigated the matter I tasked you with?"

The man in black respectfully answered, "Your Highness, the matter you ordered your subordinate to investigate has been fully clarified."

The young master’s gaze shifted slightly.

He turned around.

His eyes were calm.

"Speak! What exactly happened?" After leaving the medical hall, the young master had arranged for his subordinates to find out what had happened. What could have made Su Yunjin so infuriated?

Before he acted to take Su Yunjin away, he needed to understand the situation completely. The man in black dared not conceal anything and relayed the information he had discovered to the young master.

"Your Highness, your subordinate found out that Miss Su and Master Gu’s severe anger came from a misunderstanding." The man in black was hiding on the wall of the courtyard; he was a guard specially trained by the Wang Residence, possessing better hearing and eyesight than ordinary people. He had overheard every word spoken inside the room between Su Yunjin and Gu Ya without missing a single one.

After listening to the guard’s report, the young master narrowed his deep, inscrutable eyes. Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, once he had made up his mind to take Su Yunjin with him, he would do so.

The position of princess consort in the Chu Residence could belong to no one else but Su Yunjin. Following him, he would give her the best of everything—happiness that every woman in the world would look up to and envy.

Whatever that man could give her, he would give more. Anything Su Yunjin desired, he could present with both hands, even including himself and the entire Chu Residence.

...

Su Yunjin found the ointment and started to apply it to Gu Ya, asking him again, "My lord, what actually happened to the wound on your forehead? You haven’t told me yet?"

Gu Ya didn’t intend to keep the truth about the wound on his forehead from his little wife. When Su Yunjin asked, Gu Ya simply told her, "Yunjin, I inflicted the wound on my forehead myself."

"What?" What? Gu Ya self-inflicted the wound on his forehead? Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya in utter disbelief, her whole person shocked and flabbergasted.

How could it be self-inflicted by Gu Ya?

Su Yunjin considered every possibility but had never imagined that the wound on Gu Ya’s forehead was self-inflicted. His hand fell on top of his little wife’s head.

Gu Ya slowly started to explain.

"Yunjin, today I went to persuade Mother at the old house. Mother was emotional, insistent that I persuade you to see the herbalist Madame Yu and take her medicine. I didn’t agree, and then Mother... she..."

He paused there, with the scene of Mrs. An threatening her own life flashing before him again.

To persuade her son to convince his wife to consume the medicine that guaranteed a female child, Mrs. An had pulled out her hairpin and threatened to end her life, "Son, our Gu Family has finally seen the opportunity to have a granddaughter who could become a princess consort. This is not only glory for you and your wife but also a matter of family honor for the old Gu Family. It’s an opportunity to bring honor to our ancestors, and we must not let any fault occur. Mother has been hoping her whole life for our family to make a name for ourselves. Now that the opportunity is here, if you and Yunjin refuse and don’t take the medicine that guarantees a daughter, then Mother will thrust this hairpin right now."

Positioning it at her throat.

Mrs. An was about to exert force.

Gu Ya yelled out in a loud voice, "Mother, don’t!" Gu Chengxiang and Gu Jianghai, the couple, also stepped forward to stop her, but in the end, it was Gu Ya’s quick reflexes that snatched the suicide weapon from Mrs. An.

Although he saved Mrs. An, he also accidentally let the hairpin pierce his forehead.
