Chapter 925: Help!

Grandpa said he was a man of firm confidence, and he was very sure that in this lifetime, he wouldn’t be interested in any woman other than her.

He held her tight, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her: "Don’t be angry, just remember, I will always be good to you."

Due to the influence of his parents, he always believed that a husband and wife should only have each other, so when he found out his uncle had a maid, he was utterly shocked and thought it was wrong, even feeling sorry for his second aunt for a while.

But his second aunt felt it was no big deal and even said his parents’ way was abnormal, claiming there’s no man in the world who only stays with one woman?

And because his father only had his mother, people in the Capital had laughed at him for over ten years.

However, his dad wasn’t one to be trifled with; he would beat up anyone who dared laugh at him, leaving many nobles and high officials toothless and being denounced by memorials to the Imperial Censorate and scolded by the Emperor. He was even sent beauties, but he didn’t take them in and had those beauties dump night soil, making them so angry they almost hanged themselves.

Finally, after those beauties were stripped of their arrogance, he matched them with his subordinates, allowing many of the single soldiers in the army to get married.

Gu Jinli also knew he was innocent and shouldn’t be angry at him: "Sorry, I just feel for my father."

Clearly the legitimate firstborn, yet tormented by his own father his whole life.

Qin San Lang laughed: "No need to apologize, we are considered engaged, meant to live a lifetime together. If you have any resentment, let it out on me, don’t hold it in."

Gu Jinli laughed, poking his face: "Why get angry at you for no reason, won’t you be mad?"

Qin San Lang shook his head: "Not mad, I’m more worried if you hold it in without saying anything."

Gu Jinli was very happy being pampered by him, looked at him again, and asked: "Why does your father only have one wife?"

His grandfather was a founding noble, and his father was a noble’s son, so logically, he should have multiple wives and concubines. How come he only married one? It’s truly unbelievable for ancient nobles.

Qin San Lang didn’t hide anything, speaking the truth: "My grandfather once saved a lady from the former dynasty during his campaigns and took her as a second wife... But she didn’t want to be ranked below my grandmother and caused my grandmother’s death, my dad was affected by this incident, thinking more women would bring disaster, and because he truly liked my mom, he resolutely refused to have another woman."

His father wasn’t a saint but learned from the bloody lesson and only married one woman.

Because of this matter, his father often sternly educated them: "Brats, listen up, whoever dares to rescue women wantonly, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Gu Jinli was stunned, never expected Brother Qin’s grandfather was such a scoundrel!

"I shouldn’t have asked." Gu Jinli regretted it, didn’t expect to get such an answer, if only she had known she wouldn’t have asked.

Qin San Lang laughed: "It’s fine, these things were meant to be told to you... So don’t worry, no matter what the future holds, I won’t want another woman."

His goal has always been clear, and that is her.

He won’t be like his second brother, marrying a woman he doesn’t like for the help she provides; he just wants to be like his parents, staying faithful to each other and living a loving life together.

Gu Jinli was delighted, looked at him and said: "I believe you."

I will be just like you, once decided, it’s for a lifetime, I’ll always be with you, never leaving.

Qin San Lang saw she was finally happy and was relieved, leaned closer to her, and said: "It was quite tiring today, and you were suspecting me, I need some comfort."

Gu Jinli: "Hmm? What comfort do you need?"

Qin San Lang laughed, leaned down, and kissed her.

Gu Jinli: "..."

┗|｀O′|┛Wow~~

Little rascal, you’ve learned to take advantage!

No way, can’t let him always get the upper hand, she has to get back at him, so she opened her mouth and bit him.

Unexpectedly, she went too far, and he got excited and with a light thud, hugged and pressed her against the wall, though his hand always supported her back, not letting her get hurt.

Gu Jinli: "..."

You even know the wall slam!

Gu Jinli was in a daze until a moment later, when he said anxiously in her ear: "Quick, breathe in."

"Hoo~" Gu Jinli obediently took a breath and exhaled, vision gradually cleared, and before her was his anxious yet helpless face. She blinked and asked him: "Finished kissing?"

Qin San Lang burst out laughing: "Yes, finished kissing; next time you have to remember to breathe in, or you’ll faint."

He discovered her problem, whenever he kissed her, she would become woozy as if not fully awake, unbelievably cute.

Gu Jinli’s face turned red instantly, feeling very embarrassed, she pushed him and said: "I want to sleep, hurry and leave."

She pushed with some force, Qin San Lang staggered back two steps, came back, looked down at her, and said: "Alright, I’m leaving, you sleep early, tomorrow there’ll be a good show."

When Ms. Zhang and the others wake up tomorrow, the city is bound to be lively again.

Gu Jinli: "Got it, hurry and go."

Face burning, such embarrassment.

Qin San Lang loved seeing her blushing shy demeanour but knowing staying longer would make her embarrassed and angry, although unwilling, he still left.

Before leaving, he instructed her: "Don’t catch a chill, remember to cover with the light quilt."

Though it’s already mid-March, the nights were still somewhat cold.

Gu Jinli nodded, pushing his head away, closed the window.

Soon, she heard his laughter and the sound of his footsteps gradually fading away until she couldn’t hear them anymore. Then, she changed clothes and went to sleep.

At night, she dreamed they were married and had children, both boys and girls, each chubby and incredibly cute. He treated her wonderfully, days passed blissfully, when a white lotus got smitten with him, wanted to snatch him away, was poisoned to death by her with a pouch of poison.

But the white lotus had many sisters, an entire pond of lotus flowers were her sisters, all turned into beauties to avenge the white lotus.

She was outnumbered, almost overwhelmed and about to be killed by the sisters of the white lotus, when he started a fire and burned the hometown of these white lotuses — the lotus pond!

"Haha~" Gu Jinli hugged the quilt, laughing out loud, muttering: "Try to snatch my man, burn you to a crisp."

...

"Ah! Help, help, robbers are attacking!"

Just at dawn, cries for help came from the most luxurious Jinfu Courtyard in Fu Inn, and hearing the cries, the staff of Fu Inn hurriedly rushed into Jinfu Courtyard with their tools, seeing Gu Chengli beaten bloody, screaming miserably.

The staff were frightened, quickly rushed over to lift Gu Chengli: "Young Master Gu, don’t be afraid, there are no robbers here, it’s us."

Gu Chengli was already scared out of his wits, didn’t listen to the staff at all, still screaming miserably: "Someone help, robbers are attacking!"
