1654 Did you hide her?
....
King lang GE went on and on about a lot of things. When Peng mu left, his head was buzzing. He could not quite accept what King lang GE said.
The situation was clearly good, so why did it suddenly change?
The great Zhou Empire dared to attack, but the sea of clouds was being held back.
At the beginning of the year, wasn’t there confirmed news that they could work together with Yunhai to defeat great Zhou at the end of the year?
It was September now, and it was not even the end of the year yet. What if the Lang GE Kingdom was forced to retreat by the great Zhou?
All of this seemed to have happened after Gu yingxue was brought to the Lang GE Kingdom. There was no sign of it before Gu yingxue came.
Peng mu remembered that Cheng Huaiyu and Gu yingxue knew each other. He remembered that Cheng Huaiyu had betrayed him before. When he returned to Cheng Huaiyu’s place, he immediately called the Butler and asked him about the situation when he wasn’t home.
The Butler told him everything. There was nothing wrong. Cheng Huaiyu was the same as before. She just bought cloth and then made clothes. She had never left the manor. The cloth was all pulled by the shop owner in a few large carts. She chose it herself. Not to mention that she had never left the manor, she rarely even stepped out of the courtyard she lived in.
The more flawless he was, the more Peng mu felt that there was something wrong with Cheng Huaiyu. The last time Cheng Huaiyu betrayed him, it was the same. There were no flaws.
He simply treated his injuries and went to Cheng Huaiyu’s room.
Cheng Huaiyu went up to him and said,”husband, you’re back?” I heard you were injured. Where are you injured? Is it serious?”
Peng mu looked at Cheng Huaiyu with an ice-cold gaze, not saying a word.
“Are you seriously injured?” Cheng Huaiyu asked with concern. Have you been examined by the Imperial physicians of the palace? Since you’re injured, don’t run around and just recuperate in the palace! I’m so heartbroken that you’re like this!”
As she spoke, her tears began to flow down in large droplets.
Gu yingxue, who was hiding in the closet and covered by a thin blanket, was shocked. This girl’s acting skills were really good. Was she still the same girl who had been so determined these two days? She was like a weak woman who regarded her husband as the sky.
Peng mu pushed Cheng Huaiyu away and began to climb up the beam. He looked under the bed, at the cabinet, and at any place that could hide someone.
Cheng Huaiyu seemed to be frightened, and chased after Peng mu to ask what was going on.
With a bang, the cabinet door was closed, almost deafening Gu yingxue’s ears. The force was too strong, and the closed cabinet door bounced a few more times, leaving a small gap.
Gu yingxue tried her best to stay still and let the blanket and some small pieces of cloth cover herself. Although Peng mu had searched once, who knew if he would search again.
This was the cabinet where Cheng Huaiyu usually kept his needle and thread. Gu yingxue was covered in all kinds of blankets and rags in the corner. Knowing that Peng mu was back, Cheng Huaiyu boldly put Gu yingxue in the cabinet, and she really managed to escape.
This cabinet was the darkest place, and Gu yingxue was small and thin, so no one noticed her.
“Meet them!” Peng mu looked around the house and couldn’t find her. He turned around and slapped Cheng Huaiyu’s face.
“Ah!” Cheng Huaiyu was directly sent flying to the cabinet door.
Gu yingxue, who was in the cabinet, froze.
Peng mu took a few steps forward, lifted Cheng Huaiyu up, and gave him two more slaps.”Tell me, was it you? did you hide Gu yingxue?”
Tears rolled down Cheng Huaiyu’s face. “Husband, what are you saying? I don’t understand. What happened to Gu yingxue? Why would you say that? My husband, can you not hit me? I’m in pain!”
