Chapter 1914: Chapter 1914: No What-Ifs (1)
Gu Qingheng laughed, "I suppose Minister Gu is regretting now, no? Otherwise, why would he lower himself so much? Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world. The seeds you planted back then, now, you slowly savor the fruits of them."
Gu Sheng paused for a moment, but then left even faster, forgetting to take Ali with him.
Ali was bitten by Xiaoyin. Though the poison wasn’t lethal, it left him completely unable to move. Without Yang Ruxin’s unique antidote, he could only be crippled.
Gu Qingheng kindly had Gu Qiao send the person out, so when Gu Sheng stepped out of the Gu Family’s gate, Ali was thrown out swiftly, landing at Gu Sheng’s feet.
"Minister Gu, you forgot to take your dog home," Gu Qiao shouted earnestly from behind.
"Let’s go." Gu Sheng had to have someone take Ali and then return embarrassingly to the Minister Office.
Even though Gu Sheng was driven away by Gu Qingheng, his mood was bad, leaving him somewhat despondent.
Yu Qingge also sensed her brother-in-law’s mood was off and quickly made herself scarce; this was not a time for anyone to be a third wheel.
"Gu Qingheng, you..."
"Xinxin." Gu Qingheng raised his eyes, but had noticeable tears at the corners, "I’m sad for my mother. How could she have given herself to such a beast? Then destroyed her whole life? If she hadn’t married Gu Sheng, maybe she wouldn’t have died so early, perhaps she’d still be happily alive now..."
Yang Ruxin reached out to hug Gu Qingheng, "Gu Qingheng, have you ever thought, if she hadn’t married Gu Sheng, there wouldn’t be you? You’re her precious one. I think, even in the Spirit of Heaven, she wouldn’t want to lose you..."
Gu Qingheng’s eyes became even redder.
"Moreover, if it weren’t for you, what about me?"
Gu Qingheng’s eyes widened, he could clearly see himself in Yang Ruxin’s eyes. Yes, without him, this girl would meet another man, marry him, bear his children, then...
No, this isn’t something he wants to see; this woman is his, in this lifetime and beyond.
Yang Ruxin could distinctly feel Gu Qingheng’s change in mood and couldn’t help but smile, "So, there’s no ’if’ in this world. What has happened is destined by the heavens. Since your lady mother is gone, you should strive for happiness, only then will her sacrifice of giving birth to you not be in vain..."
"I understand." Gu Qingheng nodded, "Thank you, Xinxin. Without Mother, I still have you, you are gifts from the heavens to me... No matter for whom, we must live well..."
"That’s my darling," Yang Ruxin pinched Gu Qingheng’s face, "From now on, together as a couple, if gods block us, we kill gods; if Buddhas block us, we kill Buddhas..."
But Gu Sheng was furious when he returned to the Minister Office, smashing the entire study. Even when that didn’t quench his rage, he went to Qiutong Academy and wrecked it completely.
Gu Kun had been angered sick before, but the wicked endure for a millennium, he had recovered in the past few days. So when he heard his son had hit a wall at the Gu Residence and returned home in a frenzy, he propped himself with a cane and came over. Seeing the ruins of Qiutong Academy, he sighed softly, "Just venting is enough, these things are our own, all are Silver..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng immediately put down the colored glaze porcelain vase from the imperial kiln, "Father, why did you come?"
