Third Concubine vs. Third Brother

The two of them thought in unison that in this complex and indifferent world, to have someone who loves them and support each other through thick and thin is a sign that Heaven has not been unkind to them.

Chapter 279 Third Concubine vs. Third Brother

With Gu Wanning's company and comfort, Xu Weibei was finally able to calm down after such a huge shock.

"How about we go see my mother another day?" he asked Gu Wanning, feeling a little uneasy.

Because Gu Wanning is somewhat unconventional, it's uncertain whether she will agree.

"Okay, let me prepare some incense, candles, and paper money. We'll go when you have your day off."

Gu Wanning felt that the injured man was like a clingy big dog, quietly, obediently, and pitifully waiting to be petted.

"I don't want to talk about my grandmother anymore," Xu Weibei finally decided.

The Grand Princess suffers from a heart ailment and is quite old.

He ultimately failed his mother.

"If it were me, I would have done the same," Gu Wanning encouraged him.

In controversial matters, she would unconditionally support him.

Gu Wanning stayed with Xu Weibei all day.

The next day, Xu Weibei went to court as usual, and his emotions showed little fluctuation.

Gu Wanning rarely got up early to see him off to court.

Er Ya, unaware of the situation, muttered, "Why are you being so nice to the Marquis now? Don't spoil him."

Gu Wanning smiled and said, "Spoiling them occasionally won't spoil them."

How many times does he show this vulnerability?

She spoils her man.

After dinner, Gu Wanning, having nothing to do, took Er Ya to buy incense, candles, and paper money—since she had promised Xu Weibei, she wanted to prepare early so that Xu Weibei would know that she hadn't just made the promise casually.

After shopping, she went to her Third Concubine's clinic and saw Gu Anfang sitting at the entrance, like a guardian deity.

When the brother and sister met, their eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Both of them had obvious disdain in their eyes, clearly saying, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Gu Wanning walk inside without greeting anyone, Gu Anfang snorted, "No manners! I don't know who spoiled her like that."

"The Marquis spoils him, why don't you go and fight him!" Gu Wanning provoked.

She wasn't going to give those three dogs a friendly look!

Gu Anfang: "Do you think I'm afraid of the Marquis?"

"If you're not afraid, then let's fight."

"I... I'm on good terms with the Marquis."

"I understand. You're on good terms with the Marquis, not because you're afraid of getting beaten up."

"You..." Gu Anfang with anger.

Gu Wanning was complete.

There was another patient in the room, so she patiently waited beside him.

After the patient left, the Third Concubine came over to pour her tea.

Gu Wanning craned her neck and deliberately said to the outside, "Don't eavesdrop on our conversation."

"Who wants to listen to you?" Gu Anfang stood up. "I'm going to find Wanqing."

He knew the two of them were going to whisper to each other.

"Let me tell you, if you talk bad about me behind my back, just wait—" Gu Anfang shook his fist threateningly.

Gu Wanning rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, I don't need to talk badly about you behind your back; I'll say it to your face. You're already thinking about getting married, yet you're still so childish."

Gu Anfang's face flushed slightly, he muttered something under his breath, and then turned and left.

After he left, the Third Concubine said softly, "He didn't mean to upset you by mentioning Consort of the Prince of Qin. It's just that Consort of the Prince of Qin is ill, and he was originally going to visit her today."

Sick again?

She looks just like Lin Daiyu.

Can someone with such a physique have the last laugh?

"Third Master asked me to go see her yesterday, and I went," said Third Concubine.

What kind of disease is that?

"It's probably a psychological issue."

Gu Wanning: "... It would be strange if you didn't have heartache after marrying a blockhead."

It's good that you're alright.

It's probably another scheme.

I don't know if she's entered the dark side yet, but Gu Wanning thinks the script probably won't change, because the Prince of Qin is just too wicked, and sooner or later he'll drive Gu Wanqing down that path.

No matter how virtuous and kind Gu Wanqing was, she still grew up among "a pack of wolves".

--Which of the men in the Gu family is someone to be trifled with?

The outcome of everything was foreshadowed long ago.

The Prince of Qin's attempt to leverage power backfired, and the scumbag deserved it.

I hope Gu Wanqing does well.

With her saintly personality, she'd definitely want me to cling to her coattails.

Gu Wanning smiled and beckoned to her Third Concubine, "Come here, I have some good news for you."

"Um?"

"My father knows you and doesn't object to you and Third Brother doing things together!" Gu Wanning's eyes lit up; she was genuinely happy for her Third Concubine.

Third Concubine didn't expect her to say this, didn't expect her to ask, and even more unexpectedly, Gu Yuanshi didn't object. For a moment, her feelings were complicated, with emotion, confusion, and all sorts of feelings rushing into her heart.

"Now you can rest assured and focus on whether San Gou is any good."

"Three dogs?"

"Yeah, my third brother, don't you think he's a dog?"

"What does 'very dog' mean?" Third Concubine asked in a low voice.

Is it because he's always loitering around his own doorway, like a guard dog?

"He's like a dog," Gu Wanning said. "What other concerns do you have? Just tell him directly."

"We'll see," the Third Concubine said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I know what you're worried about," Gu Wanning said. "You decide first whether to tell him. If you want to keep it from him, I think you can get away with it."

I don't want that.

"Then just say it," Gu Wanning said decisively.

The Third Concubine lowered her head and remained silent, unconsciously twisting her handkerchief.

"Actually, sister," she said, "He knows."

You said it?

"I said so."

She reopened her wounds, hoping he would stop bothering her and they could get back on track. But to her surprise, Gu Anfang kept asking who her cousin really was.

"I'll get revenge for you! I'll beat him to death!" Gu Anfang said through gritted teeth.
