Chapter 42: Never Be Able to Dance Again

After Qin Anjie finished drinking, he gave Gu Zhuying an annoyed look and motioned for her to leave quickly and stop bothering him.

He was willing to give face to a concubine's daughter only because of Gu Zhengwan. Otherwise, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to Gu Zhuying.

Gu Zhuying didn't have time to think. She had specially asked someone to buy this medicine. It was a powerful one and would take effect quickly. She originally planned to call Qin Anjie out after he finished drinking. But now, seeing Qin Anjie's expression, she had to think of a long - term plan.

Gu Zhuying's face was full of excitement. She curtsied slightly to Qin Anjie and then stepped aside, but her eyes were constantly wandering on Qin Anjie.

Nian Zhengqing watched this scene in surprise. Gu Zhuying didn't come to him after offering a toast to Qin Anjie, which meant there should be only one cup of this wine and only one person could drink it.

"Jiang Yue, this wine really has a problem!"

Nian Zhengqing had been spoiled since childhood and had never seen such scheming. The shock on his face was genuine, and after the shock, he felt a bit of pity for Gu Jiangyue.

Gu Jiangyue could tell there was a problem at a glance, which proved that she must have been persecuted a lot.

"The good show is about to start."

Gu Jiangyue was also observing all this. A look of anticipation appeared on her lips.

Gu Zhuying wasn't so relaxed. Time passed by second by second, but Qin Anjie was chatting enthusiastically with Gu Zhengwan. She told several servants that she wanted to talk to him alone, but was refused without exception.

The sweat on her forehead was getting more and more, and finally formed into beads that rolled down from her forehead and hit the ground heavily.

Qin Anjie, who was chatting with Gu Zhengwan, also noticed something was wrong. He was not only seeing double but also feeling dizzy, and his body was unbearably hot.

Qin Anjie stopped answering Gu Zhengwan's words. Instead, his red - rimmed eyes stared blankly at her.

There was no trace of reason left in his mind. Only one thought was constantly expanding until it enveloped his whole heart.

That was to pounce on her.

Gu Zhengwan noticed that Qin Anjie was getting closer and closer to her. She also felt something was wrong and wanted to run, but a pair of burning hands firmly pressed on her shoulders.

Gu Zhengwan looked at Qin Anjie in horror. Gu Zhuying secretly thought it was bad and ran out at once.

Her movement was so obvious that Gu Zhengwan almost instantly understood the reason. Looking at Qin Anjie with a flushed face and a dull look in his eyes, she felt a fear she had never felt before.

"Help!"

With Gu Zhengwan's scream, Qin Anjie had already pressed towards her. His other hand easily tore open her clothes, and her most intimate undergarment was exposed.

The sound of "tear" attracted everyone's attention.

While everyone was in a daze, Gu Zhengwan used all her strength and pushed Qin Anjie hard. Qin Anjie was a bit dizzy because of the strong effect of the medicine and fell directly to the ground. But before long, he pounced forward again and reached out his hand to grab Gu Zhengwan's foot.

Gu Zhengwan let out another scream. She didn't care about her dignity at all now. She crawled to the side with her hands and feet, trying her best to avoid Qin Anjie.

But her foot had just been injured and she couldn't stand up at all. As soon as she exerted force, there was a crisp sound of bone fracture.

All these happened in an instant. Everyone saw that Qin Anjie was like a madman trying to pounce on Gu Zhengwan. Several strong people rushed up and tried their best to hold him down. But Qin Anjie was so strong that it took a while to hold him down.

Gu Zhengwan's maid also rushed up, hugged Gu Zhengwan in her arms, and covered her fair skin with clothes.

Gu Zhengwan's hair was in a mess and her clothes were in disarray. Once this matter got out, her life would be over. She didn't want to marry Qin Anjie at all. She wanted to marry Xie Chengrui.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhengwan burst into tears. The tears at the corners of her eyes kept flowing and wet the maid's dress.

"The wine Qin Anjie drank has a problem. It was Gu Zhuying who drugged him."

While crying, Gu Zhengwan pointed at Gu Zhuying. She had clearly seen Gu Zhuying running away just now. What if she ran far away and couldn't be found later?

Everyone looked at Qin Anjie's strange appearance and thought that he must have been drugged, so they knocked him out and put him aside.

Gu Jiangyue watched this absurd scene without blinking. Instead, she looked at Nian Zhengqing who was already in a daze.

"See, I told you this wine had a problem."

Gu Jiangyue's tone was overly relaxed.

Seeing her like this, Nian Zhengqing suddenly felt a sense of relief as if he had survived a disaster.

"You guessed it long ago! Fortunately, you saved me. Otherwise, the one who might be knocked out would be me."

Nian Zhengqing let out a long sigh. He had also seen the way Gu Zhengwan had made things difficult for Gu Jiangyue just now. He had never had any sympathy for bad people.

Nian Zhengqing casually wiped the sweat on his forehead and wanted to drink a cup of tea to calm his nerves. But as if he remembered something, he put the cup back with a look of disgust on his face.

Gu Jiangyue was amused by him, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a beautiful arc.

The old matriarch also walked down from the main seat. She was also shocked by the scene in front of her. Her steps were a bit unsteady and she almost fell.

"Waner! How are you?"

The old matriarch directly hugged Gu Zhengwan in her arms and comforted her. And Qin Anjie had already been carried onto a carriage and sent back to the Qin Mansion.

No matter what, Gu Jiangyue had to maintain the appearance of getting along well with Gu Zhengwan. She pretended to be extremely anxious and quickly called a doctor to see how Gu Zhengwan's foot was.

Because Gu Jiangyue was really curious about how badly Gu Zhengwan's foot was injured.

Gu Zhengwan calmed down her emotions and glared at Gu Jiangyue fiercely. She had heard what Gu Zhuying and Gu Jiangyue had said just now. This Gu Jiangyue clearly knew the reason and was clearly trying to harm her and Qin Anjie.

By now, there were already a lot of people around Gu Zhengwan. Xie Chengrui also came. He looked extremely nervous, and his eyebrows were almost knitted together.

Gu Jiangyue sneered in her heart. Since they were so in love with each other, she would also fulfill this pair of a scumbag and a slut and let them be together forever.

Xie Jiuan quietly came to Gu Jiangyue's side at some point. He lowered his voice, leaned close to Gu Jiangyue's ear, and the playfulness in his tone couldn't be hidden at all.

"In this prince's opinion, there's something going on between Gu Zhengwan and Xie Chengrui."

The end of his voice rose slightly. He seemed to like watching such absurd things happen and also wanted to know Gu Jiangyue's reaction.

Gu Jiangyue ignored him. Her expression remained normal, as if she was already used to this kind of thing.

Just then, the doctor let out a deep sigh and said,

"Miss Zhengwan's foot... I'm afraid she'll never be able to dance again."
