BXBX NOVEL Gu Qiner stood trembling in place, her face as pale as paper. Her frail body swayed unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could easily blow her over.
She stammered, Big sister, I was wrong. 1 really didnt want to
Her plea sounded so feeble, reduced to mechanical repetition.
Even she herself believed her actions were unforgivable.
That was Gu Qingluans son, her own nephew, whom she had almost harmed to death. How could she expect forgiveness from Gu Qingluan?
Gu Jinyue had only insulted Gu Xiaonan as an illegitimate child, and she had her tongue cut out. The magnitude of Gu Qiners wrongdoing far exceeded Gu Jinyues, and Gu Qingluan would surely not forgive her.
Gu Jinyue, at the very least, had her fathers protection. As for herself? She was just a concubine-born daughter, easily disposable at any moment. No one would stand up for her now, and she truly felt doomed this time.
Gu Qiner was engulfed in despair, her mind muddled and heavy. She reflected on many things, yet it seemed like she couldnt come up with any meaningful thoughts.
She had once looked down on her sister, Gu Sier, for being impulsive and foolish.
But how was she any better in the end?
In the end, she had walked the same path, or even a more miserable one than her sister.
I can spare your life, a familiar female voice suddenly reached Gu Qiner1
s ears.It was as if a ray of sunlight had pierced through the clouds and illuminated her world. free webno vel
Gu Qin er doubted if she had heard correctly, and she looked up at Gu Qingluan in a daze.
T wont kill you, Gu Qingluan said, looking into her eyes.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Gu Qiners eyes, but she couldnt help but be suspicious.
Did the other party really want to let her go?
Gu Qingluan continued, But there is one condition.
As expected
A trace of understanding flickered in Gu Qiners eyes.
There were no free lunches in the world, and unexpected windfalls would not fall into her lap.
Please, big sister, tell me.
Gu Qingluan said, I want you to stay in the Gu family and be my informant.
Gu Qiners face showed surprise.
Gu Qingluan remained calm, Isnt this what you wanted?
To establish a connection with her.
Now, she gave the other party an opportunity.
Initially, Gu Qingluan had contemplated killing Gu Qiner.
However, upon further thought, killing her would not eliminate the Gu family as a potential threat.
Since she was about to leave Tianjing and could not focus on this matter, having someone from the Gu family as her informant would allow her to monitor their every move.
Of course, using Gu Qiner was a risky move.
Gu Qiner was not a submissive person, and she might act deceptively.
Using the other party meant she had to take the risk of being betrayed by them.
Gu Qingluan was willing to give her a chance, especially considering the letter Gu Qiner had written for her nephew, Gu Xiaonan.
As for what Gu Qiner would ultimately choose, it depended on her.
If Gu Qiner acted arrogantly and double- crossed her, Gu Qingluan had countermeasures in mind.
If she didnt seize this opportunity, she would regret it in the future.
Gu Qiner had no idea what was going on in Gu Qingluans mind.
She thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope emerged.
She couldnt help but doubt if there was a catch in all of this.
Upon second thought, she realized she had nothing to lose.
She might not gain much, but at least she wouldnt suffer.
If she didnt agree, she probably wouldnt even make it out of this mansion alive.
Alright, I agree.
Gu Qingluan responded, You dont need to rush to answer. Even if you decline,
I will let you go this time. Ill give you a day to consider. If you still agree afterward, youll have to follow my orders.
A hint of surprise appeared in Gu Qiners eyes.
Was Gu Qingluan really this easy to deal with?
She couldnt help but suspect if this woman had been possessed by someone else.
However, when she met Gu Qingluans bright eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through everything, Gu Qiner realized she was overthinking.
Gu Qingluan had given her two choices, but in reality, she didnt need to think too much about which one to choose.
When she had decided to align herself with Gu Qingluan in the first place, she already made her choice.
Nonetheless, she nodded in agreement.
She wanted to make it appear as if she had carefully considered her decision.
Gu Qingluan said, Then go back and think it over. When youre sure, let me know. But be prepared, this time 111 spare you, but when you return to the Gu family, another ordeal awaits you.
Gu Qiners body tensed slightly.
Did her grandfather know about her actions yesterday?
She wasnt Gu Lingxue, and there wasnt much affection between her and her grandfather.
This time when she returned, she would likely face severe consequences.
She bowed to Gu Qingluan and said, Thankyou for the reminder, big sister. I will take my leave. bender
At this moment, in the main residence of the Gu family,
Both Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue had excited expressions on their faces.
Grandfather, why hasnt the person arrived yet? Didnt they say they were at the city gates? Gu Jinrong impatiently asked.
Gu Zhixin glanced at the elderly man at rhe head of rhe table and scolded his impatient son, Why are you in such a hurry? Weve already sent someone to welcome them. They should be here in just a little while.
However, even after a while, the expected guest had not arrived.
They were anxiously waiting for Wei Lao, and at this moment, he was in the crowd, watching with interest as a child of about four or five years old helped an injured old man tend to his wounds..
