Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 712 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (33)

"Okay, I won't force you, Gu Yuxi, I like you." Wu Chenlin looked at the woman lovingly.

"That's nonsense again. I'm busy."

"I know you have your own difficulties. I only regret that I was not in Menghua City that day, otherwise I would have robbed your sedan chair!"

"Wu Chenlin, are you done yet? I haven't seen you for many years, and you start talking nonsense as soon as you come. I'm afraid you've gone insane." Gu Yuxi's patience gradually disappeared, and his voice became louder.

"Yeah, I'm going crazy!"

Gu Yuxi felt that this man was inexplicable. She asked herself if she owed this man any romantic debt, so why did she like him inexplicably?

"Crazy, go crazy somewhere else and don't dirty my eyes."

"Do you dislike me so much? You didn't have this attitude when you asked me to take you to see Princess Yunrong."

"At that time, we each got what we needed. I treated your mother's illness and you introduced me to someone else. It wasn't that I had to ask you for anything. You are not the only one in the world who can help me with this."

"What a good way of saying we both get what we want. Apart from the naked exchange of interests, don't you have any other needs from me, Gu Yuxi?"

"Yes, please stay away from me. After all, I am a widow now, and widows are prone to gossip."

"So the things you asked me to investigate were also for my own use?"

"That's just a matter of your talking. Besides, I'm not asking for favors without paying. Four thousand taels of silver is not a lot, right?"

"What four thousand taels?"

"Don't play dumb. Your cousin received money for the imperial business. Did you just spend it without counting it?"

"I didn't. A year ago, I didn't know you came to the capital, nor did I know you were going to investigate your grandmother."

"What's the point of saying so much now? I don't owe you anything anyway."

Gu Yuxi felt that the cause of her grandmother's death was a little strange, so she paid someone to find out what Princess Yunrong liked.

In fact, Gu Yuxi did find out that there was indeed something fishy about Princess Yunrong's wet nurse, and he was right.

This matter is naturally related to the Wen family, otherwise the Wen family would not have exiled them. It was because they committed so many evil things in the past.

Those who are in high positions of power never have clean hands.

"So the person who visits the palace every night..."

"Enough! That's annoying!"

"If you don't want to mention it, then I won't say it."

She walked away without intending to say another word to the man.

"I dreamt of you thousands of miles away under the leaves by the lake. Now that I see you, my longing for you is even stronger." Wu Chenlin said to the figure.

Gu Yuxi did not answer, but continued walking. She also felt that sometimes such tasks were not very pleasant, especially the hardships of being a widow.

The mountain breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. After Gu Yuxi docked the boat, he sat by the river and stared at the river in a daze.

When she was alone under the setting sun, and it seemed that she was the only one in the world, Gu Yuxi sighed and then went up the mountain.

But before she pushed open the gate, she heard a man inside the gate saying arrogantly: "This marriage was clearly agreed upon at the beginning. Besides, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Which man is not unfaithful?"

"roll!"

"There's no one around right now, so let's catch up. I heard that your brother was given a lot of compensation by the imperial court after he died in battle. Lend me some money to spend!"

"Don't come over here, I will never let you go even if I die."

Gu Yuxi outside the door stomped her feet in anger. After pushing the door open, she saw an uninvited guest in her yard. She picked up a carrying pole leaning against the wall.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, save me!" The panicked Shi Xiuhua rushed to Gu Yuxi, tears in her eyes.

"You ugly fool, you and my sister have already called off the engagement, but you still dare to pester me like this today, it seems you are itching for trouble."

When the man saw the person coming, his face suddenly changed and he was hit on the buttocks with a stick.

"It hurts! Don't be angry, sister-in-law."

"Who is your sister-in-law? I've seen many shameless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you."

Shi Xiuhua hid behind Gu Yuxi and cheered, "Beat him, sister-in-law, beat him hard. Beat him till he is beaten to pieces."

Not feeling satisfied, Shi Xiuhua picked up a hoe without her noticing. The man's eyes widened when he saw this.

"Killed!"

"Don't run!"

"You are such a bold thief! You stole things when my family was not at home. You deserve to be beaten."

The farmers who were returning home at that time were also watching the excitement. When they heard that a thief had broken into their house, they also ran over. However, they did not expect that the thief had already been beaten to the back mountain by Gu Yuxi and the others.

The man lost his balance and rolled down the haystack, but he quickly got up and ran away.

"Hoohoo!"

The man ran for two miles and sat on the ground gasping for breath. As it was getting dark, he rested and prepared to leave. A dazzling light flashed in his eyes and his neck felt cold.

"Hero, spare your life!"

"Did you bully her?" A sinister and chilling voice sounded behind the man, like a poisonous snake in the dark ready to bite someone at any time.

The man was so frightened that his throat made a gurgling sound. He stared at the horrifying knife light with wide eyes filled with surprise, fear and sadness.

"If you don't tell me, I'll pull out your tongue!"

"It's unfair. I have never bullied anyone."

"is it?"

The knife was closer to his neck. The man turned his head back and caught a glimpse of a masked man in black with hatred in his eyes.

The man who was kicked to the ground rolled and crawled, knelt in front of the man and said: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to Tengyun Village to steal things."

The man in black twisted his neck and said in a deep voice: "That's it?"

"No! And I shouldn't have been so lustful that I wanted to do something indecent to Shi Xiuhua and steal her brother's pension."

"Gone? Are you planning to do the same thing to Shi Xiuhua? Are you going to give up your life?"

The brief questions were like death warrants. The pressure in the man's heart collapsed and he couldn't help crying: "Wuwuwu..."

"Do you like crying? Otherwise, I'll dig out your eyeballs one by one and make you cry while watching."

Thinking of the black-clothed man getting angry when he mentioned Shi Xiuhua, the man immediately changed the subject: "No, it was me... I wanted to do that to Shi An."

"What to that bitch?"

"Because Shi An's wife is rich, I lost money in the gambling house. If she doesn't compensate me, my life and property will be in danger. Plus, the wife is pretty, and Shi An doesn't like her anyway, so I plan to take advantage of her."

"Ah!"

"Yes... I am standing up for Shi Xiuhua because that bitch Shi An took away the pension from Shi An's department!"

The man in black stopped listening to the man's words. He raised his knife and slashed, cutting off the man's back without him noticing.

"what!"

The man fainted from the pain. He was not dead, but he was heartbroken.

The man in black didn't even look at it and wiped his knife clean with disgust.

With a whistle, a white horse came galloping out from the darkness. The man climbed on the horse and looked towards the mountainside that was rising like clouds.

I don't know how long they lingered there, but finally the man and the horse left in the darkness.
