C17 (1/2)

Gu Jinzhu tightly held onto the window as her face turned pale. She couldn't help but look behind her.

The rain blocked her line of sight, and all she could see was a dark gray mass rolling and struggling in the muddy rain. The mournful wail sounded in her ears, causing her heart to tremble.

The rain continued to fall in front of them. From afar, the sky looked dark and cloudy. Even the green mountains were submerged in the rain mist. The pressure was so great that it was suffocating.

The carriage moved on at a leisurely pace, its wheels rolling across the slippery grass with a clanging sound. As far as the eye could see, it was an endless dark green.

He could no longer see what was behind him. The rain pattered against the roof of the car, cutting off the faint screams.

Gu Jinzhu's face was pale as a sheet as she tightly clutched at the window. The ice-cold rain fell on her face, but she only felt a burst of fear.

That person … Would it be okay to just be thrown in the rain like this...

His legs were obviously broken, and he screamed so miserably. If he was thrown into the wilderness, what if …

She gritted her teeth, not daring to think any further.

In his mind, he constantly recalled the times when he and Chen Yunze had been together. He read poems for her, taught her how to write, and took her out to play. He would hold her hand firmly no matter what.

Every night when she sneaked out to play, she would lie on his back and sleep peacefully, never worrying that he would abandon her. The youth's body was so young, yet it gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.

Even though he betrayed her afterwards …

She closed her eyes, and the cold rain fell on her cheeks like tears. In her mind, she saw the scene when he proposed to the Yang family, the same handsome young man in white clothes that made her think about him, gently smiling at her cousin until she saw him.

She curled her fingers so hard that her nails stung from the wood, but she could not resist the sharp pain in her heart.

She only managed to maintain her composure when she saw her cousin's proud and complacent expression, even with an indifferent expression on her face.

Even when he had just mentioned his wife to her, his expression had been one of certainty.

What a joke! She, as the great matriarch of the country, unexpectedly became someone's equal wife? Furthermore, even if she didn't have this identity, why would Gu Jinzhu feel wronged? Chen Yunze, what ability do you have?

She should have hated him, but the thought of his twisted face, of his leg broken by a horse and his arms wrapped around it, rolling in the muddy rain, still sent a shiver through her.

He was hateful, but not to death! After biting her lips and hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but raise her head to take a look at the noble young master's expression.

Gu Yiqing had been resting against the wall of the car with her eyes closed. What happened just now had not moved his face, but as he sat there in silence, the atmosphere in the car had sunk. Thinking of what happened just now, the two girls in the car were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.

Gu Jinzhu was anxious, but she didn't know what to say.

Ever since their first meeting, she didn't even dare to carefully look at her third uncle. Now that she thought of his methods, she was almost afraid of him. However, the person outside couldn't be dragged down …

The light inside the carriage was dim. The man in cyan clothes had his eyes slightly closed and his face was calm. His black hair still had some moisture to it, making it look like it was cast from ice and jade.
