She walked towards Gu Qinghe, stretched her fingers towards her face, and poked her nails into the red spot on her face with disgust, "You are so ugly, what on earth did he see in you?"

Gu Qinghe remained calm, and her tone remained normal, "There is nothing wrong between me and General Shao."

"Shut up!" Li Qiulian was disgusted with her calm appearance, as if she was sure of everything, as if what she was so anxious about was something she wanted to get by any means, but it was within her reach but she didn't want it.

How could she accept this?

"Do you know what will happen if you snatch a man from me?"

Gu Qinghe had naturally heard about what the outcome was.

Everyone who knew about Li Qiulian's deeds came to remind Gu Qinghe to be careful with Li Qiulian. This man was cruel and ruthless, and was protected by the Prime Minister and his wife. He would do anything to get what he wanted.

Although Shao Wei has clearly rejected this marriage, Li Qiulian still refuses to give up, which is enough to show her obsession with Shao Wei.

Gu Qinghe raised his head and looked towards the Prime Minister's wife.

She was watching the farce in front of her like a spectator.

It is said that the Prime Minister and his wife doted on their daughter Li Qiulian. Now it seems that it is true.

With a sigh, Gu Qinghe said, "May I ask what Miss Li wants me to do?"

"Of course, the farther away from Shao Wei, the better." Li Qiulian narrowed her eyes. "I don't even need to use any effort to crush a self-deprecating ant like you to death. The reason why Shao Wei thinks highly of you is because you saved his son's life. What do you think, even if he finds out that I killed you, what will happen to you?"

Gu Qinghe couldn't help laughing in his heart, not knowing whether to praise Li Qiulian for being simple or stupid.

It seems that she was really spoiled too much by the Prime Minister and his wife, and she has no brains at all.

Gu Qinghe finally understood when he saw the Prime Minister's wife nodding in agreement with everything Li Qiulian said. Well, it seemed that Li Qiulian was not stupid but confident.

She was confident that even if she really caused a terrible disaster, the Prime Minister and his wife would help her clean up the mess.

"Okay," Gu Qinghe nodded, with a hint of sadness between her brows. She turned her gaze to the Prime Minister's wife again. The palm mark on her cheek was clearly swollen. "If Madam doesn't need me to diagnose your pulse, I will go back first."

The Prime Minister's wife didn't want to pay any attention to her. During this period, the ladies who had a good relationship with her often discussed Gu Qinghe's medical skills together.

Perhaps because of the experience with the girl from the Ming family, her medical skills are somewhat convincing.

But everyone in the capital is a shrewd person. Gu Qinghe is so young and has no famous teacher. It is understandable that those poor families regard her as a miracle doctor, but these wives of officials will not trust her so easily.

It was just that the Prime Minister’s wife had heard not long ago that Gu Qinghe had treated the old lady of the Duke’s Mansion. She had some understanding of the old lady’s illness. If Gu Qinghe could really cure it, then he was indeed quite capable.

She did have this plan originally, to let Gu Qinghe take her pulse, but since there was a grudge between her and Lian'er, that was naturally not possible.

The person in a high position looked at an ant with such cold eyes, but he was distracted when he looked into Gu Qinghe's eyes.

The Prime Minister's wife finally took a serious look at Gu Qinghe.

For some reason, she felt that Gu Qinghe looked somewhat friendly.

Although the red spots on his face were ugly, he had a pair of clear eyes that stared at people with their black eyes, and their eyes were as calm as stagnant water.

No flattery, no expectations, and no fear.

The Prime Minister's wife suddenly felt a headache. She frowned and waved her hand downwards, "Get out."

She thought maybe she needed a break.

Li Qiulian came forward to help her, and the servant led Gu Qinghe out.

The moment she stepped out of the room, the Prime Minister's wife seemed to hear something almost like a whisper.

"The Prime Minister's wife dotes on me like this, it really makes me envious."

The Prime Minister's wife looked up, but Gu Qinghe had already walked out.

She felt a little tired. After Li Qiulian helped her sit on the bed and she drank some tea, she finally felt a little better.

She looked at Li Qiulian earnestly and said, "I think this man should be a man who knows the current situation. I believe he will not pester Shao Wei anymore. But to be honest, mother really doesn't want you to marry a military commander, not to mention-"

What's more, Shao Wei obviously had no interest in her.

But he was interrupted by Li Qiulian before he could finish his words.

She glared at the Prime Minister's wife, "Mom, I know what I want. Besides, Shao Wei is different. You know, I have liked him since I was a child."

Yes.

Li Qiulian's feelings for Shao Wei have nothing to do with his status as a general.

Li Qiulian had seen him when he was still in the Duke's Mansion.

At that time, Shao Jingxian, the eldest wife, had a cat. The cat was very cute, with snow-white fur and blue eyes. Few people who saw it disliked it.

But Li Qiulian didn't like it.

Even some violent thoughts were stirring in my chest.

So when she saw the cat by the lotus pond, she pushed the cat into the water without hesitation.

The cat was struggling, its claws leaving long marks on the back of her hand.

Li Qiulian didn't feel any pain at all, instead her blood was boiling hot.

She likes this feeling.

As the cat was about to die, a stone bounced onto the back of her hand.

Li Qiulian let go in pain and looked up in the direction where the stone came from.

A pale young man stood among the green tree trunks. He was thin but had a good-looking appearance.

It was just that look that Li Qiulian really disliked.

In just a moment, she remembered this man's identity: the illegitimate son of the second branch of the Duke's Mansion who was not presentable enough.

She looked at the dying cat, then looked at Shao Wei on the tree, and found it very funny.

The person looking for the cat was almost there, and Li Qiulian quickly stood up and called out, "Mom!"

She fell to the ground, her sleeves were wet. She seemed to feel something was not right and raised her hand to mess up her hair a little.

When Shao Jingxian saw the dying cat, she rushed out screaming, "Who did this? Who did this?"

Li Qiulian's eyes were red and the marks on the back of her hands from being scratched by a cat were very obvious.

Nestled in the arms of the Prime Minister's wife, she sobbed, "Mother, someone just wanted to throw the kitten into the pond and drown it. It was so scary."

No one doubted her.

And she easily pinned the crime on Shao Wei.

But because of this incident, she paid more attention to Shao Wei.

Maybe it was because he had seen his true self, or maybe it was because he hadn’t made any excuses that day.

It is said that he was nearly beaten to death that day, but he never said a word.

Later, when she heard that he had joined the army, Li Qiulian would occasionally ask people to inquire about some news related to him.

On the day of his triumphant return, Li Qiulian was sitting on the second floor of Quanjuzhai, with a clear view of everything on the street.

She confirmed once again that she had been attracted to him several years ago.
