476 Let’s meet
Su Xiaolu did not hesitate and went forward with her sword.
Even though Gui You had been fighting for a few hours, he was still able to fight her with ease.
Su Xiaolu also went all out. The cold and soft sword stuck to her waist many times. She avoided the blade, but it still hurt when it hit her body.
Gui You only stopped when Su Xiaolu had no strength left at all. He looked down at Su Xiaolu and said, “You can’t be lazy. Even if I’m not around, you have to practice more.”
!!
Su Xiaolu propped herself up and hugged Gui You’s legs.
Gui You was stunned. “What are you doing?”
Su Xiaolu was helpless. She said, “Master Gui You, promise me something, okay? If you don’t, I won’t let go.”
“I could kick you away.”
Gui You said calmly.
Su Xiaolu still refused to let go. “If you kick me away, I’ll cry. Besides, I will still come and hug your legs unless you promise me.”
She was a ruffian and was not afraid of anything.
Gui You: “…”
Su Chong and Qi Xingfeng also had mixed feelings. They would never be able to do such a thing in their lives.
“Master Gui You, just promise me. I beg you, I beg you.”
Su Xiaolu begged again.
“What do you think it is?”
Gui You felt a headache. He wanted to leave, but Su Xiaolu was hugging him so tightly, and he could not really kick her away. She was still half a disciple, so what was wrong with satisfying her small request?
“Master Gui You, can you forge a weapon for my cousin? I… I promised him before.”
Su Xiaolu said in embarra.s.sment. She had yet to tell Gui You what she had promised Qi Xingfeng.
Qi Xingfeng blushed.
Su Chong laughed.
Gui You glanced at Qi Xingfeng and said, “Get up. I agree.”
He thought it was a big deal.
But he could not let Su Xiaolu think that he would easily agree to such things. He said with a straight face, “Don’t do this again.”
Su Xiaolu nodded repeatedly. “Okay, thank you, Master Gui You.”
Su Xiaolu let go happily and felt relieved.
Gui You looked at Qi Xingfeng. “You’re very suitable to use a saber. I’ll forge a big saber for you.”
Qi Xingfeng blushed in excitement. “Thank you, thank you.”
Four words. He was almost at his limit.
He was afraid that he spoke too little and Gui You would not be able to sense his grat.i.tude. However, Gui You did not even look at him and had already turned around to enter the house.
Qi Xingfeng looked at Su Xiaolu and thanked her happily. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Don’t forget what we agreed on. Master Gui You will send the weapon over. If you can’t do it, I won’t give it to you.”
Qi Xingfeng said excitedly, “I will definitely—”
He choked it back down and blushed again.
Su Xiaolu laughed. Qi Xingfeng had changed a lot. She believed that he could do it.
In mid-April, Old Wu and Gui Li left the capital.
The Sun family’s case was also closed. Sun Yangxin was demoted by four ranks and transferred to a small county as a county magistrate in Huizhou to make up for it.
The soldiers guarding the Sun family also retreated.
Zhou Wenjing cried as she helped Madam Qin back to the residence.
Although they did not receive any punishment, the prison was cold and gloomy. Many of Madam Qin’s old illnesses had relapsed. As soon as they returned, they immediately invited a doctor to take a look.
Sun Yangxin was very cold. After settling Madam Qin down, he said to Zhou Wenjing, “Come with me.”
Zhou Wenjing followed nervously. This wasn’t what she wanted.
In an instant, Sun Yangxin’s official rank was reduced by four levels. He was reduced from a second-grade minister to a sixth-grade minister. He couldn’t even stay in the capital. Zhou Wenjing had long regretted it.
During this period of time, she also understood that she had fallen into the Wei family’s trap and was used as a p.a.w.n.
But it was too late now.
Sun Yangxin’s cold silence made Zhou Wenjing even more nervous.
Upon returning to the main courtyard, Sun Yangxin dismissed the servants. Zhou Wenjing immediately knelt down and said in tears, “Master, divorce me. It’s all my fault.”
Sun Yangxin looked at Zhou Wenjing. The tears on her face couldn’t hide her shrewd calculations.
Sun Yangxin said coldly, “Tell me the whole story. Otherwise, I’ll fulfill your wish and divorce you.”
Zhou Wenjing’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Sun Yangxin in a daze. She felt bitter.
There was no way she could hide this from him.
So it was true that he didn’t like her.
Zhou Wenjing stopped crying. If the heavens gave her a chance to regret, she definitely wouldn’t marry him again.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Zhou Wenjing stood up and walked to the table to sit down. She wiped the tears off her face and told Sun Yangxin the details.
When she saw the pained look on Sun Yangxin’s face, Zhou Wenjing smiled sarcastically. “You’ve waited for her for half your life, but she has long forgotten about you. She’s already a wife and a mother. Now, she has two children. The current top scorer is her second son.”
“If things hadn’t gone wrong, you would have already slept with her daughter, and she would have hated you forever.”
Zhou Wenjing didn’t want to pretend anymore. The words she said were filled with viciousness. She knew how to stab him where it hurt most, so every word was heart-wrenching.
Sun Yangxin’s expression was cold. “You should be glad that you didn’t succeed.”
Without another word, he turned around and left.
Zhou Wenjing watched as he left resolutely. Her heart ached. She couldn’t help but lean on the table and cry.
Sun Yangxin did not like her at all. He could not even be bothered to hate her.
Zhou Wenjing felt pain in her heart. She was jealous of Madam Zhao. Why did Sun Yangxin like such a person for so many years?
They were not even married. It was just an engagement. She had worked hard for many years, but she could not get any love from Sun Yangxin.
She had spent half of her life doing this. She was unwilling to give up.
No one could ignore the gains and losses. Zhou Wenjing felt that she was like a poor farmer who worked hard but ended up with nothing.
“Madam, you have to take care of your health. You’re pregnant…”
The maidservant went forward to comfort her. Everyone in the residence had seen Zhou Wenjing’s efforts, but Sun Yangxin didn’t love her, so there was nothing they could do.
Zhou Wenjing slowly stopped crying. She placed her hand on her abdomen and slowly calmed down. She had wasted half her life without love, but she would have a child in the end. This was the only thing she could rely on in the future.

Sun Yangxin returned to the side yard. After closing the door, he fell to the ground weakly. He covered his face and let his tears surge. Pain overflowed from his heart. He cried and then smiled.
He was crying because he was sad that there was no fate between them.
He smiled because he knew that she was doing well and her days were blissful.
He stumbled to his feet and dug out the letters that had been sealed for a long time from the bottom of the box. He carefully unfolded them and carefully closed them again. In the end, they were not fated to be together. However, it was not as if he had not thought of such an outcome. He just found it difficult to face it for a moment.
