"Madam, the master, the third young master, and the young mistress are back."

As soon as the three people from the front yard came back, Chen's mother in the backyard received the news and couldn't help but go out to greet them.

After seeing the three people, he glared at Chen Zhizhou fiercely, turned around, and affectionately and lovingly pulled Gu Qing into the house, completely ignoring the father and son behind him.

"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Gu Qing looked at her mother-in-law's face full of guilt and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I raised Zhou'er by myself. People outside misunderstood him, but I know that he is actually a good boy who values ​​friendship and loyalty. I don't know what to say when something like this happens, but I always feel that Zhou'er wouldn't be so absurd..."

Mother Chen spoke her mind nervously, not daring to look directly at her daughter-in-law, and naturally ignored the expression on her face.

"Mother, I know what you mean. I believe in my husband."

Gu Qing's words brought tears to Chen's mother's eyes. She kept clapping her hands, and the heavy stone in her heart was completely removed.

"Zhou'er was able to marry you because of his good deeds in his previous life. Don't worry, if he dares to do anything to let you down in the future, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

Feeling the real care, Gu Qing felt warm in his heart. Thinking about what happened in Dali Temple afterwards, his mood became even more complicated.

She held Chen's mother's hand and said, "Mother, husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When the storm comes, their true feelings are revealed. You must believe in father!"

This child speaks strangely. Could it be that he is confused because of anger?

Mother Chen was stunned. Before she could react, Chen Zhizhou and his father walked in.

"Mother, my wife and I have something to say, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Chen Zhizhou took Gu Qing's hand and walked out. Gu Qing was dragged out before he could even salute the two elders.

Looking at her impetuous son and her well-mannered daughter-in-law, Chen always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

He completely failed to notice his master's struggling, guilty, and hesitant expression.

…

Chen Zhizhou dragged Gu Qing all the way to their room, dismissed all the servants, and then asked in a low voice, "What did you find out about what you said in the Dali Temple?"

"Let me go first!"

After her reminder, Chen Zhizhou realized that he was too anxious and forgot to let go. He pursed his lips awkwardly, and after letting go, he found a circle of red marks on her fair wrist.

"I was anxious, are you... okay?"

A hint of heartache flashed in Chen Zhizhou's eyes.

"No problem!"

Gu Qing knew that he didn't mean it, so he didn't care. He just rubbed his wrist and analyzed today's doubts for him.

"Do you remember today when that singing girl stopped us and insisted it was you? She even told everyone that you were going to redeem her. But when we got to the Dali Temple and found out it was my father-in-law, she changed her story and said she had no idea. This woman is so inconsistent and full of lies. Her behavior is really suspicious."

After hearing her say this, Chen Zhizhou also reacted and nodded, "Yes."

"My father is known for his drinking capacity, being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. But he said he lost consciousness after only three drinks that day, which is very suspicious."

Could it be that the second and third uncles were colluding to set this up? But what was their purpose?

Chen Zhizhou's eyes were gloomy, and the air pressure around him also dropped, covering the entire room.

"Another point, the timing of this singer's appearance is also very clever!"

Gu Qing tapped the table lightly with her index finger, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone became a little more serious. "From the time she found out she was pregnant to the time she gave birth, she clearly had plenty of opportunities. But she chose to choose the time when you and I returned home. She could have recognized each other privately, but she insisted on making it public. Her intentions are truly vicious."

"It wouldn't be possible for just one singer to do this. There must be someone behind her who's directing her!"

Chen Zhizhou also nodded in agreement.

And the person behind this was coming for him, but who was it?

Thinking of the report from his subordinates stationed in Gu Mansion, his eyes fluctuated and he involuntarily looked at Gu Qing, with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"To investigate this matter thoroughly, I think we need to start with the music hall."

Gu Qing noticed his inquiry, but didn't care at all.

After living her life again, she has understood what is most important. She just wants to protect her mother, Chen Zhizhou and the Chen family!

She is confident that he will gradually trust her.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at the confident woman, even though Chen Zhizhou warned himself in his heart, he couldn't help but be attracted to her. Even though he knew it was like a moth to a flame, he was willing to do it.

"Of course we have to go and find out!"

Gu Qing raised her red lips, her gentleness mixed with a hint of charm.

…

In front of the music hall, the sound of stringed instruments was endless, and bursts of playful noises came out, making the listeners blush.

"Have you thought it through?"

Chen Zhizhou looked at the towering plaque, then turned to look at the people around him and frowned.

Gu Qing had changed into men's clothes, her long black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and she was waving a folding fan in her hand.

Although he has a delicate face, he is full of heroism and looks like a playboy.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Let's go!"

Staring at Chen Zhizhou's playful eyes, Gu Qing moved forward head-on. During this time, girls kept coming up to her, some flirting with her, and some holding her arms in a charming manner.

"Master, I can play the pipa. Let me accompany you!"

"I can also sing a little song!"

Watching them coming closer one by one, Gu Qing felt uncomfortable all over. He felt like meat fallen into a pack of hungry wolves, at risk of being eaten at any time.

She pulled her hand free with great effort and looked at Chen Zhizhou for help.

But unexpectedly, this person acted like he was just watching the fun and had no intention of helping at all.

"Alright, my little brother is too shy to stand your teasing. We are here today to listen to Yu Furong's music."

Seeing that Gu Qing was about to be exposed, Chen Zhizhou cleared his throat, came to her rescue, and stated the purpose of his visit today.

When he came, he specifically ordered people to find out that Yu Furong was the Zhang who caused trouble today.

He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "Call Yu Furong over and prepare a good room for us brothers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy women immediately stopped talking and all showed strange expressions.

After looking at each other, a woman in purple slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, the person you are looking for is no longer here. Would you like to find someone else?"

Chen Zhizhou naturally knew that Yu Furong was not there, so he didn't argue any further and pointed at the woman in purple. "Then it's you."

"Yes, I'll let my family prepare."

She turned around and told the little girl beside her to lead the guests to the room upstairs, and she went back into the house to get dressed.

…

Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing were led into the room, and then someone served them drinks and snacks. Only after the door was completely closed did Chen Zhizhou approach her.

He lowered his voice and teased, "I thought you were so brave, but I didn't expect you to be just a useless silver-plated spearhead!"

"Humph, some people say they never touched anyone before getting married, but after joining the music hall, they seem more mature than anyone else!"
