“Ah, you didn’t look at me today. It makes me so sad.” Gu Chengrui lamented with an aggrieved expression.
Zhou Ying pushed him away and said, “Oh, come on. Without you around, do you think there’s no need to deal with the internal and external matters at home? If I’m free, I have to bring Guoguo with me. I don’t dare enter the inters.p.a.ce in the daytime.
“Besides, the servant was caught. With the cooperation of Lord Sun and the others, if you still can’t deal with a little servant girl, then the two of you can forget about being officials.”
Gu Chengrui immediately apologized when he heard that. “Sorry, babe. I was the one who judged a gentleman like you with my petty heart.”
“Ugh, just hurry up and tell me what happened. Is there still danger?”
“I’m afraid so.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he told her about catching the spy and discovering Master Liu.
“Is he a c.o.c.kroach? He’s dead, but not dead. His people are everywhere.”
“Indeed. I don’t know how many more people there are. That’s why I want you to keep an eye on that Master Liu. Perhaps you can find out all the remnants of King Hui through his killing intent toward me.
“If they grow any stronger, they will really become a scourge to society.”
“Alright, bring more people with you. If he gets anxious and cornered, it will be troublesome if he wants to kill you no matter the cost.”
“Yup, this time I will bring a crossbow over. Remember to give me a few more arrows.
“Oh right, there’s also the medicine and the antidote for the knockout powder. You have to give me some of that, too.”
“Alright, I’ll prepare those now, in case I forget later.”
“Thanks, I’ll take a look at Guoguo and take a shower.” Gu Chengrui nodded and walked toward the villa.
Zhou Ying, on the other hand, started preparing. She prepared not only what he requested but also a bottle of pepper spray, a pack of tear powder, and a small bottle containing more than ten pieces of hundred-year-old ginseng.
Gu Chengrui visited Guoguo, who was still giggling in her sleep. He smiled and kissed her gently on the forehead before taking his shower.
After Zhou Ying was done packing, she came out with a small bag. Gu Chengrui hugged Zhou Ying and kissed her fiercely. “I’ll leave the house to you.
Remember to say goodnight to me before you go to bed every day. Otherwise, I’ll think that you’ve forgotten about me.”
“Fine, remember to bring more people with you. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won’t be your widow.”
“Don’t worry. You won’t have the chance to remarry in this life, the next life, or the next life after that.”
“Oh, you.” Zhou Ying rolled her eyes at him and moved him out of her inters.p.a.ce.
Surprised, Gu Chengrui returned to the pitch-black room and gritted his teeth. “My position is getting more and more unstable. It seems I must prop up my husband’s dignity when I return properly.”
Then, he smiled and shook his head at their silliness.
He shook his head and threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, keeping the bag in his bed, and went to sleep.
On the other end, after Zhou Ying sent Gu Chengrui off, she began to look for Master Liu.
She had not expected to find him so quickly at a residence in Ping Yang Prefecture.
She would have doubted herself if she had not seen the silver b.u.t.terfly mask.
At the same time, she remembered his face.
She had thought he would be a handsome man who wore a mask to avoid trouble, but all he had was an ordinary face with a burn on the left side.
Perhaps it was because the treatment was not done in time, so it left behind a black scar.
She sized up the people in his courtyard. There were not many; there were only a total of eleven people, including him.
They had quite a lot of money on them. Each of them carried a few hundred taels worth of silver notes.
Lord Liu had more—at least 10,000 taels of silver..
