Chapter 106: About to Part

If I don't pamper my own wife, who will? He sighed and put his arm around Chang Xixi's waist. In the hibiscus tent, he was worried that the spring night would be too short and he needed to enjoy it while he could.

That night, spring was in full bloom, and even the moonlight shyly hid in the clouds.

The noise in the house continued until three quarters past three in the morning before it stopped. Then there was the sound of a door opening. Gu Rongyu, wearing only his undergarments and long gown, stood at the door.

"Qingnan, go get some hot water."

Qingnan was in the servant's room. When he heard the young master's voice, he ran over in a hurry. He used his inner strength to tell the young master that he heard it, and then woke up the other people sleeping on the table.

Liang Ming still went to the roof, while Renwen staggered back to the room and fell asleep. Li Da went to the gate of the courtyard. He had already noticed that someone was watching Qingyayuan's every move!

So, he went to catch this guy.

The servant didn't dare to sleep. For the one or two taels of silver given by the young lady, he was willing to do anything. Not to mention monitoring people, he would even dare to kill people!

With his eyes wide open, he felt a chill on his neck. He came to his senses and slowly turned around to see that it was the guard of Miss Chang from Qingyayuan. "Guard Li, you...you."

"Don't move if you don't want to die! What are you doing here?"

"I, I was ordered to monitor Qingyayuan. Please don't kill me! I was forced to do it." The servant raised his hands to show that he would not resist.

Li Da thought about it and decided that it was no big deal, so he let him go!

The servant left the moonlit courtyard in fear and went to Zhou Zhiwei, reporting to him what had just happened and everything he had seen.

Zhou Zhiwei, who was lying on the bed, heard the maid's words and asked the servant to get off!

Chang Xixi was poisoned, but she didn't have a seizure, which means she had temporarily suppressed the poison. The antidote was still done by someone from that family, Gu Rongyu!

Her plan failed because she didn't realize that Chang Xixi's medical skills were so advanced. In anger, she asked the maid to blow out the lights in the room and fell asleep under the quilt.

…

Chang Xixi felt exhausted and felt someone wiping her sticky body with a warm towel. A kind voice said in her ear, "Go wash, okay?"

Because the voice was so gentle, she agreed without thinking, hummed softly, and then heard a chuckle.

Gu Rongyu carried her into the bathtub. Seeing that she still had her eyes closed, he knew that she was very tired. He took off his clothes and took a bath with her. He gently wiped the dirt off Chang Xixi's skin while looking at her slightly flushed face.

I was still thinking about her expression when she was aroused. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a beauty on earth.

If it weren't for this poisoning incident, he didn't know how long it would take to catch the person. He originally wanted to kill Zhou Zhiwei, but after that romantic night, his heart changed again, and he wanted to thank her!

After washing, Gu Rongyu dried her and put her in the quilt. Seeing that she was still asleep, he extinguished the candle with confidence, put on his clothes and walked out.

Qingnan was standing at the door. Seeing Gu Rongyu coming out, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Congratulations, young master, you have finally gotten your wish and married the beauty."

"Um."

Gu Rongyu followed Qingnan back to the small courtyard they had bought. All the people there were replaced by his people. After entering the courtyard, the dark crowd knelt on the ground.

"Welcome, young master."

"Everyone, get up. Everyone else, leave. The leaders, stay with me."

The crowd in the yard disappeared in a flash, leaving only less than ten people. Qingnan stood behind them, holding a sword, and said, "Why are you all standing so far away? Come closer, the young master doesn't eat people."

The ten people walked closer and began to salute again, "Congratulations, young master, for winning the beauty."

"Who taught you these words?"

Qingnan chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "I said it was true. It's such a joyous occasion, so naturally we should celebrate with the brothers. Today is the young master's wedding day, and we shouldn't be so busy, but the deputy general had an accident in the capital."

"Injured?"

"He was poisoned by the person who framed him back then, and his life is numbered! Young Master, please go to the capital to accept the punishment as soon as possible. Please also overturn the verdict for the general and wash away the shame! We are all waiting for this."

One of the ten people knelt down and gave an admonition!

He clearly knew that Gu Rongyu had just consummated his marriage with Chang Xixi, so he really shouldn't have forced the young master to set off. But now that the deputy general had left, there weren't many of the old people left.

Gu Rongyu was annoyed by their urging. The reason was simple: if Chang Xixi lost his protection and became a widow, her life would definitely be very difficult.

I don’t know when he will come back after he leaves!

He didn't want Chang Xixi to suffer, so he wanted to go to the capital to win a place, so that she could have the status of a juren's wife and not be bullied by others.

Right now… he wants to arrange things here.

Qingnan had been with Gu Rongyu for a long time and could guess the young master's thoughts. He scolded him, "Young master, do you need to remind me of my affairs? Young master, you must have your reasons for not leaving now. You should go back! The Autumn Examination is approaching, and the young master will leave soon."

Although these ten people were dissatisfied, they still followed Qingnan's instructions!

Gu Rongyu stood in the courtyard, watching the sky gradually brighten, and said to Qingnan behind him, "Go tell Master Zhou that I won't be going to the academy for the time being. The Autumn Examination is approaching, and I want to study at home."

"yes."

On the other side, Mr. Zhou received news from Gu Rongyu that he was leaving. He was only worried about Chang Xixi. Without a man in the family, there was no backbone. He didn't know how she would get through it.

Gu Rongyu was also feeling sad, as the time of separation was approaching.

The two of them had only been together for a dozen days, and he didn't want to leave Chang Xixi's side for a moment. He arranged some things and then returned home in the sunshine.

Chang Xixi slept until noon before getting up. There was one place on her body that made her feel particularly uncomfortable, as well as other places on her body. She reached out and touched it, and it was a little swollen!

But the whole body was clean and fresh, and the sheets and clothes had been changed.

There was a bowl of steaming tea on the bedside. I touched the other side of the bed and found it was no longer warm. Did Gu Rongyu go out again?

She didn't sigh, but stood up, drank a sip of tea, and asked Xiaohong to come in to help her dress. Xiaohong knew about the battle last night, and when she came in, the tips of her ears were red.

"Little Miss, can you bear it? My uncle is so strong."

Chang Xixi was very confused and asked, "What do you, a little maid, know?"

"oh."

Xiaohong was trying to hold back her laughter and was shy, which made Chang Xixi want to tease her.

Gu Rongyu just came back from outside and saw that Chang Xixi looked fine. "My dear, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
