Chen Zhizhou walked quite fast, and going down the mountain was easier than going up. He reached the foot of the mountain in just an incense stick of time while holding Gu Qing.

Gu Qing stayed steady in his arms all the way.

I couldn't help but sigh at his strong body, and my liking for Chen Zhizhou grew even more.

When she was reborn, if she catered to Chen Zhizhou mostly out of guilt and regret, now she actually truly loved him.

Gu Qing stared at him blankly, with a gleam in her eyes, as if she could never get tired of looking at him.

Even Cuiping, who was standing by, could see the lady's fondness for the young master. How come their relationship became better after going up the mountain?

In a trance, Chen Zhizhou joked to Gu Qing: "Your maid is just like you, she likes to be in a daze."

Gu Qing glared at him, then looked at Cuiping and said with a smile: "Cuiping, please lift the carriage curtain. It will be inconvenient for the young master."

Cui Ping came to her senses and immediately did as she was told, then apologized profusely: "I was distracted by the affection between the young master and his wife just now. I hope the lady will forgive me."

Hearing this, Gu Qing's ears couldn't help but turn red, spreading to her cheeks.

"No problem."

Chen Zhizhou curled his lips slightly, carried the person up the ladder and stepped into the carriage. Cuiping followed the coachman and drove to the Huai River.

Inside the car, Chen Zhizhou saw that Gu Qing was still shy, and he suddenly wanted to tease her, so he moved closer to her.

Gu Qing felt something was wrong. Every time Chen Zhizhou took a step closer, she would move forward.

Two steps forward, two steps back.

Until there was no way to retreat, and she was forced to the corner of the car, she said helplessly: "What are you doing?"

"Why do you have to sit next to me when there's a big space there?"

Chen Zhizhou stared at her intently: "Is it not possible for a husband to be close to his wife?"

"Who was it that showed love in his eyes just now? Even the maid saw it, and now he's denying it?"

The more he talked, the more embarrassed Gu Qing became. She wanted to cover his mouth. Finally, she was so angry that she grabbed his arm and looked out: "Don't talk nonsense."

"The maids and the coachman are still outside."

Chen Zhizhou is shameless, but he still wants it.

But Chen Zhizhou didn't let her have her way. He moved closer and stuck close to her, his hand unconsciously wandering around Gu Qing's waist.

It made her feel itchy and unbearable.

"Okay, okay, stop teasing me." Gu Qing surrendered, looking aggrieved and begging for mercy.

If I continue like this, I will either suffocate to death or die of shame. Chen Zhizhou is simply too arrogant!

Chen Zhizhou raised his eyebrows, as if he had gotten what he wanted. He held Gu Qing's face and kissed her: "Madam, you act like a spoiled child. I can't bear to see you."

"Qingming Festival should be over soon."

He talked to himself.

Gu Qing: “…”

What has this person become like in the past twenty years? Once he starts eating meat, he is never satisfied, and his mind is always filled with those things.

Chen Zhizhou calmed down, and the two of them talked and laughed again, and the carriage arrived at the bank of the Huai River.

Cuiping, who was outside the car, was the first to say with concern: "Master and Madam, it looks like it's going to rain. Why don't you stay in the car?"

When Gu Qing heard this, his expression changed slightly. Is it true that the heavy rain and floods from his previous life are coming?

She pulled aside the curtain, lifted up her skirt without saying a word, and tried to get out of the car.

But before he even set foot on the ground, Chen Zhizhou grabbed his arm and said, "Since it's going to rain, don't get out of the car. Don't get wet."

As he said that, Chen Zhizhou stood up and got off the car first.

At this time, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The rain was carried into the car by the wind. Gu Qing said seriously, "I'll go with you."

She had to see with her own eyes how high the water level was before she could decide whether what happened in her previous life would happen again!

Chen Zhizhou didn't know why Gu Qing was so stubborn, but after spending these days together, he understood that once Gu Qing made a decision, he would not change it.

"Then I'll carry you."

He turned around and turned his back to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment: "No..."

"I'll carry you and you hold the umbrella." Chen Zhizhou repeated this sentence.

Gu Qing has his own stubbornness, and he also has his own plans.

"Okay." Gu Qing climbed onto his shoulders with both hands, jumped slightly, and was then steadily carried on Chen Zhizhou's back.

He held Gu Qing's legs with one hand and lifted her skirt with the other hand and held it in his palm.

In this way, Gu Qing was protected by the umbrella and not a drop of rain touched his body. He looked very refreshed.

However, Chen Zhizhou's arms and thighs were all wet from the rain, and his shoes and socks were dirty from stepping on the mud.

Gu Qing couldn't bear it, and was touched by his thoughtfulness. He looked at the Huai River in front of him with burning eyes. The two of them cooperated to go to the river. The Huai River was rising faster and faster, exceeding the usual speed.

At this moment, Chen Zhizhou's expression changed completely.

"Sure enough, there is a problem with the water line. If the rain gets heavier, there will definitely be a flood." Gu Qing's words touched Chen Zhizhou's nerves.

His face turned grim, and he cursed angrily: "Those idiots and wastes from the Ministry of Industry!"

Gu Qing understood his anger. The Ministry of Works was trying to enrich itself in every way during the construction of the dam, and the construction of the dam along the Huai River was extremely expensive.

The third prince discovered something a few days ago and sent Chen Zhizhou to investigate the matter.

However, the officials here protected each other and played Tai Chi with Chen Zhizhou. Before he could get to the bottom of the matter, the heavy rain came during the Qingming Festival.

This bunch of parasites are using the lives of ordinary people to pave their own official careers!

The veins on Chen Zhizhou's forehead bulged, and his eyes were frighteningly cold, like the surging waves of a surging river.

Gu Qing leaned over his shoulder and smoothed his wind-blown hair. "We still have time. Let's quickly ask father to notify the villagers to move up the mountain and build a temporary shelter."
