Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 501 Who to Save

It was the voice of her child.

Gu Qingyuan wanted to go forward to check the situation, but A Tao and his men blocked her way.

"Step aside!"

Gu Qingyuan's voice sounded without a trace of warmth. Now, she only wanted to save her two children.

A Tao and the other people who stopped Gu Qingyuan were like a wall blocking her way, preventing her from moving forward.

Ah Tao said slowly, "Young Master Gu, you're not hungry, and I see you've had a hard time coming all the way here. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat?"

After he finished speaking, someone came out from the darkness with two stools in his hands.

Gu Qingyuan: “…”

She looked at these people speechlessly.

It took her some effort to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, and these people were actually carrying stools with them. Aren’t they tired?

However, she now really wanted to pick up a stool and hit them on the head to make them move away.

Ah Tao added, "I know Young Master Gu is eager to save his son. They are doing well now, aren't they?"

Then, she asked the people guarding the cliff to pull the rope up a little so that Gu Qingyuan could see the upper bodies of the two children.

"See, Master Gu, they are still here fine now, but that may not be the case later."

"What do you mean?"

When Gu Qingyuan saw the two children hanging on the edge of the cliff like objects, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

But at this moment, she heard the woman in front of her say such words again.

Ah Tao stared into Gu Qingyuan's eyes and asked her, "In Young Master Gu's heart, which of these two children is more important to you?"

She answered without hesitation: "Of course it is equally important."

Xixi and Xiaonian are both her biological children, and of course they are equally important in her heart.

Ah Tao glanced towards the edge of the cliff, as if looking at the two children.

But now their hands, feet and waists were hung, and from her perspective, she could only see the ropes hanging on the ground.

The two children hanging on the edge of the cliff were pale and their bodies were a little stiff.

They looked upwards but didn't dare to move.

Because they didn't dare to gamble with their lives, and they were even more afraid that the rope would break from their bodies if they moved.

Originally, when Xixi heard Gu Qingyuan coming over, she shouted for help at her.

But now, she glanced at Xiao Nian and said, "We must first calm down and not let Mother lose her mind."

She said it to Xiao Nian, and also to herself.

In her heart, her mother is an omnipotent being, so her mother will definitely be able to save both her and Xiao Nian.

Ah Tao chuckled again and said to Gu Qingyuan, "Young Master Gu, it's too early to speak. What if you can only take one away today?"

She was really looking forward to seeing the conflicted expression on Gu Qingyuan's face.

Likewise, let the two children listen carefully and find out who their mother cares about more.

Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but attack A Tao.

As soon as she drew her sword, someone said, "If Young Master Gu insists on doing this, then these two children will probably die because of you."

There were a few lights on the top of the cliff, the ink-like sky was dotted with stars, and the wind whistled through the cliffs, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Gu Qingyuan watched helplessly as they held the ropes that controlled the lives of the two children in their hands.

If the rope is cut...

The two children would fall straight down the cliff like kites with broken strings.

And this cliff is so high that falling down would only bring disaster.

She had no choice but to put away her sword and asked coldly, "What exactly are you going to do?"

Ah Tao said slowly, "Like I just said, which child does Young Master Gu want to save? If you make a choice, we will cut the rope on the other person."

No one knew how many people were hiding around, and Gu Qingyuan didn't dare to act rashly for the safety of her two children.

Suddenly, she found that A Tao looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

In a flash, she remembered that she had met A Tao several times when she was in the palace.

It’s just that before, a palace maid named Cuizhu often followed the Sixth Princess, and A Tao rarely appeared, but she still remembered that A Tao belonged to the Sixth Princess.

Without hearing Gu Qingyuan's answer, the person holding the rope slowly cut a small part of the rope.

"Wait!"

She was distraught now.

"Has Young Master Gu made a decision?"

At this moment, Gu Qingyuan wished he could kill all the people in front of him.

But she knew that the lives of the two children were in their hands. If she attacked A Tao, the two children would be in danger.

Gu Qingyuan glanced around and suddenly discovered something.

She said, "I can agree to your conditions, but you must release the two children."

After she came over, she never heard the two children's voices again.

They were so young, they must have been terrified.

Gu Qingyuan felt that she was not a qualified mother, which was why she let her two children fall into such danger.

"Xixi, Xiaonian, how are you two doing now?"

She shouted towards the cliff edge.

After Xixi and Xiaonian heard Gu Qingyuan's voice, they couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, we're fine."

Even though they were almost scared to death, they still wanted to reassure Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan knew in her heart that there was no way the two of them could be okay.

After calming down, Gu Qingyuan turned to Ah Tao and questioned her, "What exactly is your purpose? If you have something to do with me, why did you kidnap two such young children?"

A Tao didn't say anything.

It was getting darker and the temperature on the cliff top was getting lower and lower.

Gu Qingyuan and his group were confronting each other on the top of the cliff.

Until Ah Tao asked Gu Qingyuan: "It's been so long, has the Gu family decided which child to take away? If not, why don't you let me help you make the decision."

A Tao waved her hand, and the person holding the rope was about to touch the rope immediately.

At the critical moment, Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and shouted, "Come on!"

While delaying time, she saw Jing Qianfan in the dark.

A Tao still didn't understand what it meant.

Gu Qingyuan was clearly the only one there when she came up, and the note also said that only she could come alone. Could it be that she brought someone with her without permission?

After hearing Gu Qingyuan's voice, Jing Qianfan quickly came out and clamped A Tao.

"Master, your little dog is on stage."

When Ah Tao heard Jing Qianfan's address to Gu Qingyuan, she frowned.

No, it’s obvious that this person is not from Tianji Pavilion?

Shouldn't they attack Gu Qingyuan?

Gu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jing Qianfan appear.

Then, the other people from the Tianji Pavilion who came with Jing Qianfan knelt on one knee and said to Gu Qingyuan, "Pavilion Master."
