Immediately, she recalled the scene from last night, her consciousness completely hazy before that moment. All she remembered was being carried to bed by a man who looked exactly like her modern husband...
Realizing this, she stood frozen on the bed in shock!
This is bad. Setting aside why that man looked exactly like Zhong Yijun, just the fact that she had been in bed with him was too much of a betrayal to Tian Feiyao!
The thought filled her with overwhelming guilt.
After all, she was not Ma Lele; she was Gu Yuniang!
She had never done anything like that before!
"What are you thinking about?" a cold voice interrupted her thoughts.
She looked up, momentarily stunned. "What are you doing here?"
"Last night, when he took you away, I followed. I told him I was a little maid you just bought, and he took me with him. It seems he really cares about you!" Hua Fei said honestly. What should have been a foolproof plan had ultimately failed!
But it didn't matter; as long as she continued to lurk around Gu Yuniang, there would come a day when Tian Feiyao would meet her end at her hands!
"I was taken away by that man? Oh my gosh, Tian Feiyao can't find me; how did things turn out like this?" Gu Yuniang nearly pounded her chest in frustration!
Hua Fei's eyes revealed a strange expression; it turned out this fool still didn't know she had been taken by Tian Feiyao!
A glint of cunning flashed in her eyes. "He redeemed you and plans to take you home as his little wife! By the looks of you, last night must have been quite enjoyable! That aphrodisiac worked wonders!"
Gu Yuniang almost choked on her own saliva. "You knew I was drugged, so why didn't you say anything? Little wife? What the hell is going on?"
"I deliberately didn't mention your being drugged!" Hua Fei shrugged nonchalantly, speaking with an air of righteousness.
Gu Yuniang stared blankly for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Do you know what you've done? You've ruined me!"
Hua Fei was about to speak when she caught sight of a dark figure approaching from outside the door. She quickly stepped forward and greeted, "I pay my respects to the young master!" At that moment, she had completely changed her demeanor, appearing obedient and sweet.
Gu Yuniang was stunned when she saw the person enter.
Tian Feiyao, dressed in dark clothing, had a pale face like it had been chiseled by a knife, and his deep-set eyes were sunken, evoking a sense of pity.
Gu Yuniang, feeling frustrated, said to Hua Fei, "You can leave now!" It turned out that Tian Feiyao had already saved himself; did that mean he also knew about her betrayal?
Hua Fei nodded and discreetly withdrew. Even though she harbored countless grudges in her heart, she did not show a hint of them upon seeing this man.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Tian Feiyao's gaze was indifferent.
"A-Yao... I..." Gu Yuniang stammered, unsure how to express her feelings.
"Speak clearly! Just say what you need to say!"
"I’m sorry for what I did. But at that time, my mind was already hazy! I know you will never forgive me! I think no man would tolerate his woman doing such a thing!" Gu Yuniang gritted her teeth and finally spoke up, her voice growing softer as if she were about to cry.
Tian Feiyao's heart stirred; not for any other reason but because she admitted that she was his woman.
A wave of tenderness surged within him as he stepped closer and gently embraced the distressed woman, resting his chin on her forehead. He softly said, "Fool, you didn't betray me. Last night, we were together the whole time!"
"A-Yao!" Gu Yuniang looked up in shock at the man before her, tears streaming down her face. "How can you be so good? You even comfort me? I know you're angry; you can vent it on me! No need to tell such lies!"
Tian Feiyao chuckled softly. "It's true!"
Gu Yuniang studied his eyes closely and finally realized he wasn't lying! It seemed Hua Fei had deceived her. The thought that she hadn't betrayed Tian Feiyao made her smile brightly!
"Yun'er! I want to take you to meet someone!" Tian Feiyao's tone held an imperceptible gentleness. Under his affectionate gaze, Gu Yuniang suppressed her racing heartbeat and remained silent.
When Gu Yuniang saw the giant python, she realized this was the place where Tian Feiyao had initially imprisoned her. Bitter memories surged forth like a tidal wave.
She understood that some things could never go back.
When the two of them walked into a courtyard and saw the two people inside, Gu Yuniang was stunned, as if her whole body couldn't move. The man and woman also stared at her in shock!
The gazes of the three collided and lingered in the air.
After a long while, the man with a weathered face and gray hair finally stammered, "Yun'er? Is it really you... my Yun'er!"
"Dad..." Tears instantly streamed down her face.
Gu Yuniang released Tian Feiyao's tightly held hand and rushed forward, embracing the man before her. It had only been a short time, yet her once noble and elegant father had aged so much.
Thinking about all the hardships he had endured during this time made her heart ache.
After all, this father was the deepest warmth she had felt since arriving in this foreign world.
Tian Feiyao showed a look of relief on his face; he quietly left the room, giving them space to be alone together.
"Dad, you've suffered during this time!" Once they entered the room and sat down, Gu Yuniang finally noticed the Empress Dowager beside them. A figure who had once commanded great power in the Great Zhou!
"Yun'er greets the Empress Dowager!"
