Chapter 134: Ugly and Fat
“I was talking to Mengyao Gu.”
When Qian Yi heard Lin Yue Bai’s words, her face remained expressionless. She just gave Lin Yue a cold glance before shifting her gaze back to Mengyao Gu.
Qian Yi knew a bit about Lin Yue.
If it wasn’t for her cousin being Empress Bai Qian, she wouldn’t be so arrogant now.
However, she posed no threat.
She was just a shrew, and not far from being abandoned.
The purpose of her visit this time was not to conflict with Lin Yue.
Qian Yi’s infatuation with Yu Gu made her unable to control herself… When she heard that her family was looking for a matchmaker and wanted to marry her off quickly, she immediately decided to take a risk and find Mengyao Gu.
If all else failed, she could be a co-wife!
She didn’t mind Yu Gu having other women, as long as she could see him every day was enough!
“I’ve attended a few times before, but due to various reasons, I don’t stay in the capital for too long, so I naturally don’t appear at gatherings frequently.”
When Qian Yi replied, Lin Yue was so angry that she almost rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to slap Qian Yi a few times, calling that hussy a slut for flaunting herself in front of her!
However, Mengyao Gu pulled on Lin Yue’s sleeve, stopping her from acting.
There were too many people here, and if Lin Yue lost control, her reputation as a shrew would be solidified.
She couldn’t act like that; no matter how angry she was, she had to consider the occasion.
“So that’s how it is. I’ve heard that the Gu Residence is grand and beautiful. May I have a look around?”
“I’m sorry, the Gu Residence does not receive outsiders.”
Afterward, hearing that Qian Yi wanted to enter the Gu Residence, Mengyao Gu found this woman very speechless.
She had originally thought she was a woman with deep thoughts, but now, as soon as she spoke, she revealed her true intentions… not steady enough!
However, perhaps it was because her “little husband” was too charming, making Qian Yi unable to resist.
Fortunately, Yu Gu liked to stay at home. If he always liked to wander outside, who knew how many women would be infatuated with him.
When Qian Yi heard Mengyao Gu’s reply, she wasn’t discouraged.
Before she even spoke, Qian Yi had already guessed… Mengyao Gu was not a woman to be trifled with.
And she shouldn’t have been so high-profile…
However, every time Qian Yi thought of Mengyao Gu snuggling in Yu Gu’s arms, her heart filled with uncontrollable rage, and jealousy enveloped her.
Although she could control herself from doing anything too excessive, her jealousy and hatred towards Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but surface, making Mengyao Gu an eyesore to her.
Why should Mengyao Gu monopolize such an excellent man like Yu Gu!
Wasn’t it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines?
But because Yu Gu was a live-in son-in-law, forbidding him to marry other women, how unfair was that!
“I’m genuinely curious about the Gu Residence. I hope you won’t refuse, sister, and allow me to fulfill my wish!”
“I’m truly sorry, the Gu Residence is currently undergoing renovation and is expected to be completed after the New Year… By then, you will naturally be invited to visit.”
Mengyao Gu’s refusal to Qian Yi’s persistence was also thorough.
If she wanted to visit the Gu Residence, she could.
After she and Yu Gu left, she could visit to her heart’s content…
However, when Mengyao Gu thought about living in the capital in the future, she felt a headache coming on.
Her “little husband” attracted too much romantic attention!
She hoped that by next year, when they came to the capital, Qian Yi would already be married, so she wouldn’t have any more foolish thoughts about Yu Gu.
“Renovation? I haven’t heard…”
“Oh dear, my head really hurts! Mengyao, quickly help me; I’m about to faint.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. Maybe I ate too much in the morning, so I’m feeling a bit nauseous now… Quickly take me to a less crowded place to rest, and I’ll feel better.”
Just as Qian Yi was about to speak again, Lin Yue suddenly exclaimed, then swayed and fell towards Mengyao Gu.
Mengyao Gu naturally reached out and caught Lin Yue. Seeing her secretly wink, she immediately understood and put on a worried expression.
Then, ignoring everyone else, she helped Lin Yue to a small pavilion on the other side to rest, so they wouldn’t continue to be stared at.
Qian Yi liked to be watched, but Mengyao Gu and Lin Yue did not.
“Phew, finally I don’t have to listen to Qian Yi making noise next to me! Mengyao, don’t overthink it. With your Yu Gu’s personality, even if Qian Yi actively seduces him, it won’t work.”
“I naturally trust Yu. It’s just that there are always women eyeing my husband, which makes me very unhappy.”
“Right! I felt the same way before. Chengfeng wasn’t as thoroughly rejected as Yu Gu, which made me worry even more.”
After arriving at the pavilion, with no one else around, Mengyao Gu and Lin Yue let loose and started chatting about everyday matters.
When Qian Yi saw Mengyao Gu leave, she didn’t continue to chase after her.
There were quite a few people at the gathering now, and she couldn’t push too hard.
Mengyao Gu was already married, and a general at that. Even if they really fell out, it wouldn’t have bad consequences.
On the other hand, as an unmarried woman, her reputation would be very bad…
Therefore, she would have to find another opportunity!
She, Qian Yi, was determined to enter the Gu Residence!
…
“Alright, all done!”
When Yu Gu looked up from his workbench, the muscle problem that his brother-in-law deeply detested had been resolved.
As long as these medicinal powders were added to the bathtub, people wouldn’t have to worry about their muscles growing too much.
However, it wasn’t to inhibit muscle growth.
It would just transform bulky muscles into toned muscles. While it wouldn’t reduce the total muscle mass, toned muscles wouldn’t be particularly prominent.
Finally, Gu Qingheng would be satisfied…
However, when Yu Gu checked the time, he realized that he had completed this operation with great vigor in a very short amount of time.
Mengyao Gu hadn’t returned from the gathering yet… This made Yu Gu stand there and think for a moment before making a decision!
He would go out to pick up his “little wife”!
He believed that Mengyao Gu would be very happy to see his handsome self appear!
With these thoughts, Yu Gu didn’t waste any more time inside the house. He quickly walked out of the Gu Residence and got into a carriage, heading towards the gathering.
“Chengfeng Shan? Why are you here too?”
When Yu Gu arrived at the location, he saw a familiar face standing outside.
Since arriving in the capital, Yu Gu had met up with Chengfeng Shan and Maoyuan Tang a few times. He was surprised by Chengfeng Shan’s “happy fat.”
Originally, Chengfeng Shan’s dashing and romantic demeanor was still in Yu Gu’s memory… But seeing him now, so plump, was unbelievable.
However, fortunately, Chengfeng Shan had good genes. Even when he gained weight, he was still a cute fatty.
Unlike others who were ugly and fat…
“I came to pick up Lin Yue. She’s been complaining that I’m too fat lately and tells me to exercise more.”
When Chengfeng Shan saw Yu Gu, he was delighted, thinking that he wasn’t the only one waiting!
