The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 601: Hardships

Gu Yuheng watched in sorrow as his daughter was helped onto the carriage by Jiang Youzhi. He only slowly made his way home after the carriage disappeared from sight. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Just as he reached the small street corner, he saw his servant. The servant bowed, "Madam specifically sent me here to meet you, master, they are waiting for you at home to start the meal."

Gu Yuheng said nothing and followed the servant back home.

The maids and old servants, seeing him return, hurried to the kitchen to bring the food and set it on the table.

Soon, all the servants had left, and only Mrs. Liu, Gu Yuheng, and their child, who was over four years old, remained in the room.

The child, upon seeing Gu Yuheng enter, said, "Father, why did you come back so late? I am hungry."

Gu Yuheng looked at the child and gently said, "It’s my fault, let’s eat."

During the meal, Gu Yuheng tried to speak several times, but Mrs. Liu interrupted him every time. Finally, Mrs. Liu said, "If husband has something to say, let’s wait until after the meal."

After eating, Mrs. Liu called for the maid to take the child out, then she entered Gu Yuheng’s room. When Gu Yuheng came in, she got up and shut the door, looking at him and said softly, "You met your biological daughter, what do you want to do?"

Gu Yuheng remained silent for a moment, "Mrs. Liu, what is fake will always be fake. My replacement of Chen Song’s identity will be discovered sooner or later."

"Not to mention, as soon as Chen Song’s family goes to the capital, they will realize."

"Furthermore, although Chen Song did not need to report to the capital as County Magistrate when he was in the area, many officials within the Nanzhou Prefecture have seen him. By the end of the year, as per custom, officials above the fifth rank are required to report to the capital, by then, I will have no escape."

"When the truth is revealed, everyone will likely think that you and I conspired to kill Chen Song, the crime of impersonating an official aside, we would be charged with murder!"

Mrs. Liu remained silent.

Gu Yuheng resolutely said, "No matter what you say this time, I will resign."

"Even if you report me, it doesn’t matter anymore. Early death or late death, I will reveal everything, right or wrong, the court will decide."

Mrs. Liu coldly said, "You want to resign because you are eager to reunite with your wife and children, isn’t it?"

Gu Yuheng angrily replied, "My family has become a mess because of my absence as a father, now it is already broken and destroyed."

"My eldest daughter is dead, my wife is set on remarrying, if not for my younger daughter stopping her, she would have become a concubine for someone already, what is left to reunite!"

Mrs. Liu remained silent for a long time, "Husband, I am sorry, I didn’t know—"

Gu Yuheng sneered, "Don’t call me husband, you and I both know that your husband is someone else."

Mrs. Liu sighed, "Although I acted impulsively, since that day, I truly regarded you as husband."

"Perhaps, in your eyes, I am a woman who will stop at nothing for wealth and honor. I do love wealth and honor, who wouldn’t? But I have my difficulties too."

"My in-laws are harsh people, I know returning to my hometown will not be a good life, and I won’t be able to keep my money."

"I can remarry, but I cannot take my child with me. My child is only over two years old. If I leave him with his grandparents and uncles and aunts, there’s no telling if he’ll survive." Liu Family said, wiping tears.

Gu Yuheng said indifferently, "No matter your difficulties, what does it matter? After all, you caused my family to be broken and destroyed."

"And now I live in constant fear of being beheaded."
