Su Mingyu waved her hand. "That's not what I mean."
"Then what do you mean?" Gu Ruobai knew Su Mingyu too well. With just a casual remark from her, he could tell what was on her mind. "Wu Yurou is the Princess Consort of the King of Yu."
"Although the two of them didn't get married out of love, now that they are married, whether it's to maintain the King of Yu's dignity or to fulfill the duties of a princess for the sake of peace - making, Wu Yurou's child can't be someone else's."
"But..." Su Mingyu still felt something was off. "Wu Yurou seemed so strong when she was in our mansion. How could she have a child with someone she didn't love?"
"Not everyone is as brave as you in expressing themselves." Although Gu Ruobai understood what Su Mingyu was worried about, he still thought she might be over - thinking.
"Fine, since you've said so." Su Mingyu pouted. "I'll ask July to help me investigate."
"Sure. Now that you have July, you don't need me anymore, right?" Gu Ruobai pretended to be slightly angry and pulled Su Mingyu into his arms.
Su Mingyu grinned. "I can't help it. Our July is becoming more and more reliable."
As she said that, Su Mingyu suddenly remembered Mu Yi. "I haven't seen Mu Yi for a long time. How has he been recently..."
"He's reflecting on himself." Gu Ruobai's expression darkened when he mentioned Mu Yi. "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been captured by Tang Yan again."
"This was clearly a trap set by Tang Yan and Tang Ziming. How can you blame Mu Yi?" Su Mingyu found it a bit funny looking at Gu Ruobai being sulky.
He was such a grown - up man, yet still getting angry over something unnecessary.
"Yes, don't blame him. Blame me." Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes. "I clearly knew he had a feud with you, but I still trusted him and let him follow you. If I had chosen someone else back then, perhaps you'd be with me in the Prince Ruixian's Mansion, taking care of yourself during pregnancy."
Su Mingyu shrugged helplessly. "You have to know that if Tang Yan and Tang Ziming were determined to capture me, I'd fall into their trap no matter where I was. You can't guard me all the time, right? For example, when you're in court, I'd still be alone."
Su Mingyu spoke earnestly, but Gu Ruobai didn't really take it to heart.
"Anyway, Mu Yi is responsible for this. So I want him to think about whether Mei Qing is more important or being my secret guard is more important. A secret guard who has fallen in love can no longer be a good secret guard because he has a weakness."
Gu Ruobai's voice was low and hoarse, but his tone was very firm.
Seeing this, Su Mingyu didn't say much more. She pursed her lips. "Fine, but actually I think Mu Yi's feelings for Mei Qing may not be what we think."
Because Mu Yi had almost only given to Mei Qing. The reason why his attitude towards her had become so bad later was that he knew she had not only betrayed him but also used Mei Qing.
"Don't interfere in this matter." Gu Ruobai ruffled Su Mingyu's hair. "It's getting late. I'll go back first. Wait for me to capture Gan Jiangnan and then come to pick you up."
With that, Gu Ruobai planted a kiss on Su Mingyu's forehead and then left reluctantly.
Feeling the now - empty embrace, Su Mingyu actually felt a bit lost.
It seemed that she wasn't as strong as she thought. She had really become more vulnerable after getting pregnant.
After Gu Ruobai left, Su Mingyu seemed to be in a much better mood. Even her appetite was a bit bigger than before.
Actually, Su Mingyu was also very confused. Considering the degree of freedom Tang Yan gave her now, it would be better for him to just let her go back.
At least in the mansion, there was Tang Ziming to watch over her and prevent her from causing trouble.
In the current situation, letting her walk around freely in the mansion made him worry that she might see something she shouldn't and also worry that she might cause problems. Why on earth did he take on such a mind - consuming task?
Was it just to threaten Gu Ruobai?
Su Mingyu was a bit confused. This person didn't seem like someone who would do such a troublesome thing.
But confused as she was, Su Mingyu didn't miss out on any of the comforts during these days.
One day, she was sitting in the pavilion, kicking her legs and enjoying the scenery outside when Tang Yan strolled in. "It seems that meeting Gu Ruobai has really stirred up his fighting spirit."
Su Mingyu looked at him suspiciously. "What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Tang Yan came and sat down beside Su Mingyu.
Looking at his not - so - solemn expression, Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "I guess the good news is that Gan Jiangnan has been captured, and the bad news is that he refuses to say anything."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're really boring?" Tang Yan rolled his eyes.
Just by looking at his reaction, Su Mingyu knew she had guessed right.
She grinned. "Gan Jiangnan should know better than anyone what he has done wrong, so he doesn't dare to say a word. He knows that if he does, not only will he lose his life, but his family will also not escape."
Hearing Su Mingyu analyzing so clearly, Tang Yan smiled and asked knowingly, "So, Miss Su, you already have a solution?"
"I do, but it's a bit cruel." Su Mingyu pursed her lips and frowned tightly, as if she was really troubled by this matter.
"After you single - handedly slaughtered an entire assassin organization because you knew you were betrayed, a person like Miss Su who can hunt a bear bare - handed actually thinks it's cruel?" Tang Yan burst out laughing.
Although she could tell that there was more teasing than sarcasm in his words, Su Mingyu still felt a bit annoyed.
She rolled her eyes. "I was fearless before because I had nothing to lose. Haven't you heard the saying that the bare - footed aren't afraid of those wearing shoes?"
As she said that, Su Mingyu stroked her belly, and her expression softened a lot. "But now it's different. I have someone to care about, so I'm not as heartless as before."
"It seems that pregnancy can really change a woman a lot." Tang Yan looked at the motherly radiance on Su Mingyu's face and couldn't help but sigh.
But soon Tang Yan brought Su Mingyu back to reality. "Regardless of what happened before, now I just want to know if Gan Jiangnan was the one who massacred my entire family back then. If he was, I'll make him pay the price. If not..."
Tang Yan glanced at Su Mingyu's belly. "Then you'll have to stay here under confinement."
The threat in his words was self - evident.
