Chapter 588 - Feng Qingtian’s Revenge

Too many maids in the house could’ve done that. There was no need for Lu Fenying to demean himself like that at all.

If he didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t have treated her himself at all.

It seemed Lu Fenying truly did sympathize with Qian’er’s plight.

What did the sympathy of a ruthless demon mean?

Gu Bailu didn’t really know, but she was determined to find out.

Soon after she returned to the western courtyard, the butler did move a couple of plum blossoms over.

Qian’er ran out and was amazed by the blooming plum blossoms. “Master, aren’t they the plum blossoms from the main courtyard? Why are they being moved here?”

Gu Bailu chuckled. “Those flowers look splendid, so I asked for two. There were plenty there anyway.”

The gardeners that the butler brought with him soon finished transplanting the trees. After they left, Qian’er stared at the plum blossoms and said, “I planted those plum blossoms a couple of years ago. I didn’t know they were already blooming so nicely.”

Looking at the petite body standing before the brilliant plum blossoms, Gu Bailu only hoped that Qian’er could be as strong and stubborn as the plum blossoms that bloomed proudly in the cold wind.

After all, Qian’er was pregnant. It wouldn’t do her child any good if she lived her whole life as a coward.

Gu Bailu subconsciously touched her abdomen and swore that she wouldn’t let her child be as pitiful as she was. She had to make sure that the child grew up protected and didn’t become a tool for his or her father to return to godhood.

She realized that it had already been half a month since she left the Gu house. She knew that Feng Qingtian must be searching everywhere for her.

Oh, wait, he wasn’t searching for her, but for her baby.

But he probably could never imagine that they were at the crown prince’s residence.

Gu Bailu was quite cheerful when she thought this. Let him look for her to death – who told him to use her baby as a tool.

Feng Qingtian hadn’t eaten or slept well for days. He sent out a nation-wide announcement in which he elaborately described his love for his wife, admitted his mistake, and begged for her to return.

Everybody in the country was stupefied.

Hadn’t the garbage from the Gu house been abandoned? Didn’t they say that her baby wasn’t Prince Zi’s?

What was going on?

Prince Zi suddenly publicly professed his love, treating that garbage from the Gu house as if she were a treasure. That was very surprising.

Many people in Pale Emperor City panicked. None of them could forget Prince Zi’s declaration that anyone who mistreated his child would pay for it a hundred-fold.

When the rumors spread throughout the city, many people had secretly cursed Gu Bailu’s baby as a bastard.

Cursing Prince Zi’s baby as a bastard was definitely mistreating it.

Prince Zi was definitely irritable now that his wife had gone missing, and he would certainly vent his fury on them.

It had to be said that the people of Pale Emperor City knew Prince Zi really well.

Soon enough, many people in Pale Emperor City died uncanny deaths. Their limbs were broken and their spiritual power was destroyed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some of them went bankrupt, and some of them had wives who ran off with other men.

All kinds of unexpected things happened. There was gossip everywhere.

However... it was soon revealed that those who had encountered mishaps had all cursed Gu Bailu’s baby as a bastard and disrespected Gu Bailu.

When Prince Zi didn’t consider her a big deal, he never bothered, no matter how they cursed.

But now that she had become precious to him again, he began to ruthlessly get back at those who had wronged her.
