147: Yunshang is in crisis

"Creak."

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening, Gu Lingshuang, who was guarding outside, turned around and immediately went to greet the person.

"Xiao Feng! What on earth happened between you and Mother?"

"Did Mother lay a hand on you?"

"What is going on here?"

Gu Feng looked at Gu Lingshuang, who was full of concern before him, and recalling everything that had just happened, only a sense of desolation remained in his heart.

Outsiders!

They are all outsiders!

He shoved her away forcefully, said nothing, and left Moyue Residence without looking back.

Gu Lingshuang watched Gu Feng's staggering figure as he left, then glanced at the open courtyard gate and immediately rushed inside.

The courtyard was empty, with only Leng Yue standing there alone.

As for Cao Bu, he had already been sent away by Leng Yue tearing through space.

With Gu Lingshuang's strength, she couldn't detect a single trace.

"Mother, what on earth happened between you and Xiao Feng?" Gu Lingshuang asked, rushing forward.

Leng Yue looked at her daughter, her eyes darkening instantly.

If her son was a rebellious son, that was one thing, but even this daughter was an ungrateful, rebellious daughter.

Daring to fight with her over Cao Bu—it was simply outrageous!

"Hmph!"

Leng Yue's expression turned cold; she flicked her sleeve fiercely and turned to leave.

Gu Lingshuang froze in place, her Face full of confusion and bewilderment.

She had seen it clearly just now; in the gaze Leng Yue directed at her, there was clearly an undisguised, intense dissatisfaction.

But she hadn't done anything; how did she provoke Mother's Life Qi?

Could it be that because Mother had previously told her to stay away from Cao Bu and she hadn't done so, that she had provoked Mother's anger?

But this didn't make sense either.

That gaze just now certainly didn't seem like simple dissatisfaction; hidden deep within seemed to be a trace of cold murderous intent, making her heart inexplicably turn cold.

...

The night was deep.

Inside Lingxiao Courtyard, it was silent, with only the smell of alcohol permeating the air.

Gu Feng leaned against the round table, drunk to the point of intoxication.

Scattered wine pots lay all over the floor, some still containing half a cup of leftover wine, dripping slowly from the spouts.

His cheeks were flushed, his eyes unfocused, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Someone! Bring more wine!"

"Damn Cao Bu, I will never let you go." He mumbled incoherently, his head nearly collapsing onto the table.

At this moment, a slender, beautiful figure quietly appeared at the edge of his vision.

Gu Feng, eyes bleary with drunkenness, took her for the Maidservant delivering wine and scolded impatiently: "Trash! Dilly-dallying, where is the wine?"

When he tilted his head and saw who it was, a flash of surprise crossed his hazy eyes.

"What are you here for? To watch me make a fool of myself?" His tone was full of sarcasm.

Yun Shang didn't answer; she stepped forward and gently placed the bowl she was holding in front of Gu Feng.

"This is hangover soup; drinking it will make you feel better."

Gu Feng was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

He stared at Yun Shang and pulled out a self-deprecating smile: "Are you concerned for me, or are you pitying me?"

Without waiting for Yun Shang to answer, he waved his hand violently: "I'm telling you, I don't want to see you!"

Glancing at the hangover soup on the table, he suddenly realized something, and his eyes turned cold: "There is no reason to be overly attentive; you are either up to no good or a thief. Tell me, do you want to divorce me?"

Not giving Yun Shang a chance to speak, Gu Feng continued on his own: "I agree to it. I will set you free, and I will fulfill your wish to be with Cao Bu!"

"But I am telling you, one day, you will regret it!"

Looking at Yun Shang's calm Face, he only found it ridiculous.

How could this woman know that Cao Bu is a beast who even dares to covet his elders?

If she were to know the truth, how could she still be so calm?

If she didn't mind and could really accept it, then such a woman wouldn't deserve his love, and it would be better for her to leave sooner.

Yun Shang said in a deep voice: "Don't overthink it; I am just remembering that we were once husband and wife, and I don't want to see you in such a sorry state."

"As for the divorce, rest assured, I will not divorce you."

"At least on the surface, I will maintain your Face."

Gu Feng stared at her blankly and suddenly started giggling.

"No need!"

"Do whatever you want!"

"Anyway, I don't care at all, I don't care!"

As his voice trailed off, he grabbed the wine pot on the table, tilted his head back, and took another large gulp.

Seeing this, Yun Shang reached out and snatched the wine pot from his hand, her voice turning cold: "What kind of setback is so great that you can't get past it? Since when did you, Gu Feng, become such a coward?"

"What do you know! If you were..."

Gu Feng slammed the table and stood up, stopping mid-sentence; the drunkenness faded by more than half.

Recalling Leng Yue's warning, he sat back down on the chair despondently.

Cannot say it, absolutely cannot say it!

If this matter were to get out, Father would never be able to hold his head high again in his lifetime.

Bastard!

Gu Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his hatred for Cao Bu deepened a few degrees.

"Take your hangover soup away."

He reached out and snatched the wine pot from Yun Shang's hand, continuing to pour it into his mouth.

Yun Shang looked at him, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness: "What, do you think I would poison the soup?"

Seeing that Gu Feng only cared about drinking and didn't speak, she added: "You are, after all, a Realm Sovereign; ordinary poisons cannot harm you at all."

"Besides, what good would it do me to poison you to death?"

She took a deep breath, walked to the opposite side of Gu Feng, and sat down, her gaze open and honest: "Believe it or not, I, Yun Shang, have always acted in an upright and honorable manner."

"Even if there is no affection between us, I would never use such low-handed methods."

Gu Feng acted as if he didn't hear her and continued drinking.

The murderous intent in the depths of Yun Shang's eyes grew increasingly intense.

Sure enough, he had long ceased to love her, and his guard against her was so heavy.

"Do you know?" Yun Shang suddenly spoke in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation: "I once thought we would grow old together."

Gu Feng's fingers holding the wine pot trembled slightly, his voice hoarse: "That was once."

"Yes, just once." Yun Shang gave a bitter smile: "Since you won't drink it, I'll take it away."

As she spoke, she stood up, picked up the hangover soup from the table, and prepared to leave.

Gu Feng suddenly stopped drinking, looked at her back, and a flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

He had carefully sensed it just now; there was indeed no poison in the hangover soup, but Yun Shang's words and actions were too deliberate.

The more she wanted him to drink it, the more he wanted to see what trickery was hidden in this soup.

"Stop!" Gu Feng said in a deep voice.

Yun Shang's footsteps paused, and she turned around: "What is it?"

Gu Feng put down the wine pot, his tone calm and waveless: "Bring the hangover soup over; I will drink it."

Yun Shang felt a surge of joy in her heart, but in an instant, intense vigilance rose up.

He wouldn't drink it just now, but now he wants to.

There must be something strange when things happen in an abnormal way.

However, in order to make Gu Feng drink the soup, she couldn't afford to overthink it and walked back over, holding the bowl.

"Here."

Yun Shang sat down beside him and handed the bowl over with a cold Face.

Gu Feng took the bowl, and under Yun Shang's expectant gaze, he was about to drink it.

Suddenly, his other hand shot out, grabbing Yun Shang's chin, his eyes cold: "Bitch!"

"Although I don't know if there is a trick in the soup, your impatient appearance is too abnormal!"

"Since you want me to drink it so much, then you drink it for me!"
