Chapter 1593 - 582: The Fake True Heiress (Part 3)

In the following period, He Tiantian took care of her health while diligently cultivating the Junior Master Uncle’s Unlimited Decision.

The medication she was using was gentle, but after all, she had miscarried.

Fortunately, she had the Inner Strength to protect her, otherwise, she would be extremely weak.

Even so, after a miscarriage, proper recuperation is necessary.

He Tiantian’s excuse to Gu Jingyuan was: "I’ve got my period; when we were just ordinary folks, it was okay, there weren’t so many stipulations!"

"But now it’s different... Brother Ah Ya, you, you are a noble son of the Marquis Mansion."

"I heard that wealthy families avoid these things, considering menstruation too filthy and think that touching it brings bad luck!"

Enduring her disdain, He Tiantian spoke about the ancient taboo towards menstruation.

She said it with a mix of gentleness and grievance, unwillingly: "Brother Ah Ya, we should sleep in separate rooms."

Gu Jingyuan wasn’t particular about these stipulations, as he hadn’t fully regained his memory yet.

Yet, in recent months, he grew accustomed to following the words of "He Dian."

And He Tiantian’s words were not entirely without reason.

Of course, the most important thing was that as they got closer day by day to the Capital City, the surrounding scenery and human culture made him increasingly feel a sense of familiarity.

The images flashing in his mind grew more numerous.

He was increasingly certain he was the Third Young Master of Marquis Nanning’s Mansion, truly a wealthy noble son.

...There are indeed many stipulations among the rules of wealthy families.

Gu Jingyuan was unsure if there was talk about avoiding menstruation; he personally didn’t care.

But he felt for Ah Dian.

Seeing her due to the possibility that he was "Gu Jingyuan," looking both happy and fearful, anxious and self-conscious, Gu Jingyuan genuinely felt a bit heartless.

Gu Jingyuan knew that if he really were the son of the Marquis Mansion, and Ah Dian was his wife.

Upon arriving at the Marquis Mansion, Ah Dian’s identity as a simple village girl would certainly face contempt from the elder family members.

Should Ah Dian fail to behave "properly," it would undoubtedly lead to even greater dissatisfaction.

For the sake of Ah Dian, Gu Jingyuan must act more "properly," according to her wishes.

Thus, Gu Jingyuan temporarily slept separately from He Tiantian.

He Tiantian slept alone, gaining more freedom to cultivate and care for her body.

She also took this opportunity to slowly distance herself from Gu Jingyuan.

Normally, the original character outside the room would deliberately perform some affectionate gestures with her "Brother Ah Ya."

One was for marital delight, the other for Brother Ah Ya to develop a habit.

However, the original character was very natural, also rather subtle.

Most of the time, she still adhered to the persona of being pure, kind, and self-loving.

After He Tiantian came, she naturally had to maintain these personas.

To say nothing else, just the aspect of "self-love," He Tiantian was very adamant.

He Tiantian subtly "changed," and Gu Jingyuan didn’t even notice.

Firstly, He Tiantian made slight changes based on the original persona, resulting in little contrast.

At most, the original character was "fake self-love, real shrewdness," while He Tiantian was genuinely "self-loving!"

Secondly, Gu Jingyuan’s heart began to feel uneasy.

As they neared their hometown, anxiety flooded in!

The closer they got to the Capital City, the more memory fragments appeared in Gu Jingyuan’s mind.

He vaguely remembered many things.

Yet, it’s like he’s an observer, lacking the real feeling of empathy towards the memories in his mind.

To metaphorize it, it’s as if he’s watching a play, knowing he’s one of the characters, but unable to fully immerse himself.

This feeling caused a strange panic and helplessness about his identity and future.

Anxiously and secretly, Gu Jingyuan didn’t want Ah Dian to notice.

He Tiantian’s deliberate withdrawal instead accomplished Gu Jingyuan’s needs.

Thus, the previously loving couple became one intentional, the other going along smoothly.

During the subsequent month or two on the road, they were like companions traveling together, not intimately close as a married couple.

Finally, the towering walls of the Capital City loomed up close!

Looking up at the tall gate tower, that sense of familiarity struck Gu Jingyuan again.

Capital City!

This is Capital City!

He seemed incredibly familiar.

To conceal the inner excitement and joy, Gu Jingyuan turned his head, smilingly said to He Tiantian: "Ah Dian, we have finally arrived at the Capital City!"

He Tiantian leaned out halfway from the simple carriage, glanced at the gate tower, then at Gu Jingyuan, smiling: "Yes, we finally made it. Brother Ah Ya, you- you can also find your family!"

As she spoke the latter part of the sentence, she deliberately showed a lost expression.
