Aromatic Flesh Chapter 21.3: Young Master's Bed

He was truly afraid, terrified even. If she was to lose her life, there was no way he would be able to find another woman who was capable of tugging onto his emotions such as she did.

And truly, after making peace with himself on the final decision, all he felt was relief and joy, as if he had no more worries.

Gu MingYue waited for him silently, as he seemed to be immersed in his thoughts. And just as she was about to call out to him, the door was pushed opened and a graceful woman walked in with a bowl of medicine.

When she noticed the awakened girl blinking up at her on the bed, her hands shook as if she had lost all of her strength and the crisp sound of broken porcelain sounded as she dropped the bowl.

The woman rushed over to the bed and wept softly, “My Xin Er! My poor Xin Er! You finally woke up!” She cried in joy.

Gu MingYue was taken aback, was there such a scene in the original plot?

She was now in a weakened state, and the woman's crying was giving her a headache, “This madam…” She started softly, but before she could continue, she was interrupted by the woman.

“What madam?! I am your mother!” The pain and guilt in her voice were obvious, and she wiped the tears from her face gracefully.

Hm? She's the mother of Ruo Lan? Gu MingYue wondered dizzily, and from the endless chattering of the woman, she finally understood the entire situation.

Ruo Lan was the daughter of Lord Zhang and his wife. They brought her out during the Mooncake festival when she was four years old, but she disappeared together with her nursing mother.

The two old couple had never given up searching for their missing daughter ever since, and in order to protect her chastity and reputation, they had told everyone else that their daughter had been sent to the temple to learn from Master JingDe.

Speaking of which, Mu JinYu's birth mother was best friends with Madam Zhang when they were young, and they both studied under the teachings of Master JingDe. Whatmore, they had even agreed on an arranged marriage for their children if they were of opposite genders.

When the late Duchess was still alive, Madam Zhang gave birth to two sons consecutively, but fortunately, her third child was a girl! Mu JinYu was already seven years old by then, and he had even held the month-old Ruo Lan at the First Month ceremony.

After Ruo Lan had gone missing, the Duke and the Duchess were the only ones who knew about it, hence the arranged marriage was held off and shelved.

Never would Mu JinYu had thought that he would be able to find his missing fiancée, to think that she was still alive after so many years!

It was pure coincidence that the Zhang couple had visited the temple at this time, in fact, they had gone to the temple to pray for their missing daughter, hoping that the gods would return her to them. Hence, when the old couple saw them under attack, they had sent their guards over to help, in order to accumulate good karma for their missing daughter.

Madam Zhang's voice choked up as she spoke of her daughter's bloodied appearance when they saw her.

Ruo Lan resembled Madam Zhang a lot, especially her pair of eyes. Anyone who landed their eyes upon them would see the resemblance after looking at the two of them.

This was why, when Madam Zhang saw her face, she knew instantly that Ruo Lan was her missing daughter, and upon checking behind her back for a red birthmark in the form of a flower, Madam Zhan finally confirmed that she was, indeed, the daughter that she had been searching for for years!

However, after learning of Gu MingYue's current identity, and her relations with Mu JinYu, as a mother, Madam Zhang almost collapsed in shock while staring daggers at her once prospective son-in-law, wishing that she could cut his flesh off layer by layer.

How dare he cause her precious daughter such sufferings!

Not to mention the recent rumors regarding Princess XiLiang's love for him, and how he had stained the Duke's birthday banquet by causing a scene at the artificial cave in the garden.

How could such a man be worthy of her daughter!

Previously, when Gu MingYue was still in a coma, Mu JinYu had suffered Madam Zhang's furious beatings. But though he, too, was in shock, he had endured the beatings willingly.

He was very familiar with her flower-like birthmark on her lower back, as he had caressed and suckered upon it lovingly as they made love. In fact, he had even teased her about it, that she might've been a flower fairy in her previous life, and after reincarnating into a human, she left a flower birthmark on her own body.

To think that Gu MingYue was his missing fiancée all along! To think that she was returned to him in such a manner!
