Chapter 1041 - 1041 502 Sister Control (First Update)

Chapter 1041: 502 Sister Control (First Update) Chapter 1041: 502 Sister Control (First Update) His mother-in-law?

How could Princess Xinyang be his mother-in-law?

Xiao Liulang is not Princess Xinyang’s son, Princess Xinyang only has one son, and that is Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen is already dead.

Wait.

Could it be that Princess Xinyang adopted Xiao Liulang as her foster son?

Compared to believing that Xiao Liulang was the departed Xiao Hen, Gu Changqing’s first thought was actually adoption.

Gu Changqing couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way, as there had long been rumors in the Capital City—Xiao Liulang bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Hen, and precisely because of this, the Marquis of Xuanping looked after Xiao Liulang quite favorably.

Could it be that Princess Xinyang also saw the shadow of her son in Xiao Liulang and thus simply adopted him as a foster son to comfort her yearning for her child?

If one knew Princess Xinyang well enough, they would understand that she wouldn’t easily use an unrelated person as a substitute for her deceased son, yet Gu Changqing could hardly even claim an acquaintance with Princess Xinyang.

The one time Princess Xinyang waited at the city gate to give him the safety charm was the only time they spoke.

Hmm… having a princess as a mother-in-law isn’t bad.

Having a husband is nice.

The husband…

That’s right, his sister has a husband now…

Gu Changqing’s handsome face suddenly took on a shade of black.

“Your hand…” Gu Jiao noticed Gu Changqing’s left hand was wrapped in gauze.

Snapping back to reality, Gu Changqing glanced at his hand and said indifferently, “It’s nothing.”

Gu Jiao couldn’t remember what she had done, but in her dreams, Gu Changqing’s hand hadn’t suffered this injury, at least not to the extent that it needed to be bandaged, so she guessed that his wound might be related to her.

She really couldn’t control herself.

“What are you thinking?” Gu Changqing looked at her once, and with a touch of indulgence, said, “It has nothing to do with you, don’t overthink it.”

Gu Jiao paused, then said, “Next time I act like this again, just knock me out earlier.”

You’ll feel pain.

Gu Changqing reached out his other hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, pointing to the safety charm in her hand, he said, “Don’t you have this?”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiao replied with a grunt, “That’s true.”

Gu Changqing looked deeply at her, wondering what she had gone through in the past to end up in such a state.

In Jianghu, there’s a saying called ‘deviation during cultivation,’ which is an exaggerated term that actually refers to physical or mental problems caused by excessive martial arts training, usually seen in desperados.

He felt that Gu Jiao wasn’t like that, and she seemed more like someone who suddenly loses control and then fully recovers afterwards.

But it doesn’t matter, he will find a way to cure her.

If not in a month, then in a year, if not in a year, then in ten years; if Zhan Country has no doctors, then go to Chen Country, if Chen Country has no doctors, then go to Shang Country!

“Don’t worry,” he said softly.

Gu Jiao blinked and looked at him, “Worry about what?”

Gu Changqing said without changing his expression, “…I mean my hand, don’t worry about it.”

Gu Jiao: “Oh.”

She put the safety charm back inside her clothes.

Thinking of something, she looked around.

“What are you looking for?” Gu Changqing asked.

“My small backpack,” Gu Jiao said.

Her first aid kit was inside.

“It’s in the hands of a soldier named Hu Dongqiang. I told him I’m your brother and to give me your belongings, but he refused,” said Gu Changqing, sighing as if helpless, “I told him I’m the young master of the Gu Family’s army, a general and commander personally decreed by His Majesty. When he didn’t listen to me, I killed him.”

Gu Jiao said, “He only listens to me!”

Gu Changqing laughed, “Yes, he only listens to you.”

This girl sure knows how to pick them.

Gu Jiao’s clothes had already been changed by a maidservant sent by the Governor’s Mansion, and she was dressed appropriately to sleep, nothing unsuitable for meeting men from outside.

Gu Changqing called Hu Dongqiang in.

Upon seeing Gu Jiao, Hu Dongqiang was extremely excited, “Doctor Gu!”

Gu Changqing had moved aside to read a letter. To be honest, he was quite a distance from the bed, yet his presence was so commanding that Hu Dongqiang almost pounced toward Gu Jiao, but with a chill to his back, he retreated.

He stopped three steps away from the side of the bed, cleared his throat, and said, “Doctor Gu, are you alright now?”

Gu Jiao said, “I’m fine. And you?”

With one hand holding the small backpack and the other patting his chest, Hu Dongqiang laughed and said, “I’m fine too! Thanks to the Gu Family’s army arriving in time, the soldiers from Chen Country didn’t manage to attack the wounded camp. Doctor Gu, this is what you entrusted to me. I’ve been holding onto it the whole time, and I haven’t let a second person come near it.”

As he spoke, he stealthily glanced at Gu Changqing with the corner of his eye.

Gu Changqing silently read his letter, seemingly oblivious and unaffected by their conversation.
