Chapter 57

Especially seeing Black Rose being intimate with him, she was even more furious.

"Black Rose's injuries haven't healed yet, and Miss Mu rode it for a hundred miles; aren't you afraid it would suddenly die on the road?"

Gu Hanyuan shook his head helplessly, his tone very dissatisfied with Mu Wanqing's behavior of not cherishing her beloved horse.

"Ah. I forgot in my anxiety. Is Black Rose okay?"

After Gu Hanyuan's reminder, Mu Wanqing reacted; she couldn't care about her chaotic and complex emotions and felt guilty toward Black Rose.

"Only now do you know how to feel heartache; what were you doing earlier?"

Gu Hanyuan looked displeased.

Seeing Black Rose nudge Gu Hanyuan's shoulder as if it understood their quarrel, he comforted it.

"You are quite heartbroken for your master."

After Gu Hanyuan gently patted Black Rose, he took medicine from his storage space and handed it to Mu Wanqing.

"Three times a day, feed it to Black Rose, and it will be fully recovered in half a month."

Only after Mu Wanqing subconsciously took the medicine Gu Hanyuan gave her did she react; the two of them clearly should have been enemies, so why did they suddenly start talking so plainly?

However, after being interrupted like this, the originally heartbroken mood was gone.

"What did you chase after me for?"

Mu Wanqing suddenly had the idea of wanting to confide.

In fact, like many people who originally wanted to commit suicide, they couldn't think straight at first, but once they had someone to confide in, they didn't want to commit suicide instead.

"Of course it's for Black Rose. It was not easy to save it; wouldn't it be a pity if it were tossed to death by you again?"

Gu Hanyuan, of course, wouldn't admit that he came for Mu Wanqing.

"Humph!"

Mu Wanqing hummed, hesitated for a moment, and still asked.

"Since you chased after me, you already know that Duan Yu is my biological brother, right?"

"Of course. It really let me watch a good show."

Gu Hanyuan didn't mean to hide it either; he knew Mu Wanqing wouldn't care.

Mu Wanqing also heard Gu Hanyuan's mockery of the things between Duan Zhengchun and his several lovers.

"Wutian. How do you view my mother and... Duan Zhengchun?"

Mu Wanqing still couldn't call Duan Zhengchun "Dad."

"Duan Zhengchun? Heh. Just a person who dares to do but doesn't dare to take responsibility. When the treacherous official Yang Yizhen rebelled, what Duan Zhengming relied on to become emperor was the support of the Baiyi tribe, and the condition was the marriage between Dao Baifeng and Duan Zhengchun. Without the support of the Baiyi tribe, let alone being emperor, he wouldn't even be able to save his life. And the Baiyi tribe has had a monogamous system for generations; Duan Zhengchun couldn't take concubines after marrying Dao Baifeng, yet he was naturally romantic and provoked ignorant girls everywhere. Knowing he couldn't give them a name, he still let them give birth to children for him. You wouldn't think Duan Zhengchun only has these few lovers, would you? Miss Mu, you still have many sisters?"

Gu Hanyuan was very disdainful of Duan Zhengchun.

Although he himself was not a good person, he would choose to solve problems instead of avoiding them.

Whether it was controlling the power of Dali to suppress the Baiyi tribe or persuading Dao Baifeng, it was better than sneaking out to provoke lovers.

No wonder Dao Baifeng would eventually choose to find a disabled, sloppy, and dirty Duan Yanqing to put a green hat on Duan Zhengchun.

After Mu Wanqing heard Gu Hanyuan's words, her face looked very bad; clearly, she also looked down on her biological father.

Especially when she heard there were several sisters, she was filled with resentment.

"How do you know I still have several sisters?"

"There are few things in this world I don't know. Aside from Gan Baobao, the ones your mother Qin Hongmian told you to kill were all Duan Zhengchun's lovers, and their daughters are naturally your sisters. For example, Li Qingluo of the Mantuo Villa, who once sent people to hunt you down, was the reason Duan Zhengchun abandoned your mother, so your mother hates her the most. Of course, there are several lovers your mother doesn't know about."

Only then did Mu Wanqing understand why Qin Hongmian had been relentless toward Li Qingluo, and her face looked even worse.

"As for your mother Qin Hongmian. Although she looks fierce and spicy on the surface, she is actually the most innocent and ignorant. She was fooled by Duan Zhengchun's sweet words and is still fantasizing about marrying him even now. If Duan Zhengchun were willing to take your mother as a concubine now, she would even happily deliver herself to his door. Moreover, the Mantuo Villa has many experts, and Li Qingluo's backing is much stronger than the Duan clan of Dali, yet she still sent you to assassinate her. If it weren't for good luck, Miss Mu, the grass on your grave would be three feet high by now. Clearly, your mother only has Duan Zhengchun in her heart, and you, Miss Mu, are just an accident. What your mother sought all her life was just a name. It just so happens that that is what Duan Zhengchun cannot give."

Gu Hanyuan also looked down on Qin Hongmian; she was beautiful, but stupid to an outrageous degree. She was fooled by Duan Zhengchun, Gan Baobao, and Ruan Xingzhu.
