Chapter 003: Who Are You

As soon as the words fell, Gu Caiwei saw the Marquis of Changning's face darken.

In an instant, a chill hit her, making her body tremble slightly.

Gu Caiwei also felt a bit uneasy—she was not Gu Caiqin, and she didn't know how Gu Caiqin usually interacted with the Marquis of Changning. She could only imitate the usual confrontational manner between Gu Caiqin and her, and confront him.

However... when she saw the man's reaction, she suddenly felt that this method might not work.

Sure enough.

Soon, the man averted his gaze. "Someone, the madam is having another episode. Take her back to calm down."

He didn't even bother to pay attention to her, and was about to leave!

Gu Caiwei was immediately at a loss.

She instinctively grabbed the man's sleeve. "You can't leave!"

The man turned back and looked at her indifferently. "Gu, have you caused enough trouble?"

"If you want me to stop causing trouble, then let me go back to the Gu family for a while," Gu Caiwei bargained with him.

The man narrowed his eyes instantly. "Is that all you want, to go back to the Gu family?"

Gu Caiwei's heart skipped a beat!

This man's eyes were so sharp, he quickly discovered her intentions.

But since it had come to this, Gu Caiwei simply nodded. "That day, I... I fell from the rockery with Qimei. I still don't know how she is. I must go back and see her."

Huh.

A cold laugh suddenly rang in her ears.

Gu Caiwei's heart sank, and she quickly looked up. "What are you laughing at?"

The man looked at her coldly. "Have you forgotten that you caused the death of Lady Gu Qi?"

Boom!

A thunderbolt struck her head, leaving Gu Caiwei dazed.

"It's impossible!" she exclaimed.

"It's the truth," the man's icy voice came again. "That day, when you went back to the Gu family, you quarreled with her again, and then you pushed her off the rockery. Her head was smashed, blood was everywhere. The Gu family called a doctor, but after the doctor examined her, he said it was too late to save her. But you... you landed on her without a scratch, and now you're causing trouble again."

Gu Caiwei felt a chill all over her body as he spoke.

Slowly, a familiar scene emerged in her mind: that day, she was indeed pushed off the rockery by the furious Gu Caiqin, and then it seemed like the back of her head hit a rock.

It hurt so much!

That was her last thought before losing consciousness. And then... there was no "then."

So, did she really die?

"How could it be? It's impossible! I don't believe it, I have to go back and see!" Her mind was now filled with news of her own death, but she refused to believe it. She had to go back to the Gu family!

"Gu Caiqin, don't go crazy!"

At this point, the Marquis of Changning's patience was also exhausted. He grabbed her and dragged her back.

Gu Caiwei struggled desperately, but she couldn't resist the strength of a man. She was forcibly dragged back to the room.

He pressed her onto the bed and sternly ordered the attendants, "Leave."

"Yes!" Several maidservants quickly ran out.

In an instant, the room was empty, leaving only the two of them.

Gu Caiwei was suddenly shocked, and she tried to push the man away. "Let go of me! A man and a woman alone in a room, what kind of behavior is this?"

But the Marquis of Changning firmly held her down.

He looked down at her, his eyes cold, and uttered three words that made Gu Caiwei's heart tremble— "Who are you?"
