A Narrow Path

"This thing keeps Lord Ling in your room." Mrs. Gu said.

She had this prepared, because she was worried that Lord Ling would care about what happened at the study and developed some disgusted feelings towards Ruxue. She should have given this to Ruxue on her wedding day, but the medicine maker said that it took time for this thing to be ready. So she had to wait. A couple of days ago, when Mrs. Gu urged that medicine maker again, he gave her one bottle for the time being. So Ruxue could be given this on her trip back home.

Gu Ruxue had been confused. A while later, she understood it all.

Mrs. Gu stressed. "Let's leave the identity behind for the time being. Before everything is settled, what matters most of all is to keep Lord Ling in your room. The best thing is to get pregnant and have a baby. With a baby around, you will definitely flourish no matter what happens in the future. Got it?"

Gu Ruxue took the bottle and nodded.
