Chapter 172: Making Trouble

Xu Qingmeng took a deep breath. Is this butterfly effect so strong?

Xu Qingmeng still clearly remembered that in the book, the bloodbath in the officialdom of Qingzhou Prefecture did not begin until ten years later, and now it has only been a few months.

Although it is different from the book, I still hope that everything will develop in a good direction.

"We are just commoners now. It is not our turn to worry about official affairs. We have been tired for three days. It is time to have a good rest." Xu Qingmeng stood up and said.

Gu Yunyi nodded, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, lay down again, waited for Xu Qingmeng to finish washing up, and then blew out the candle.

As soon as the woman lay down, the man reached out and hugged her in his arms.

"My dear, the results will be announced in ten days." His voice was filled with expectation and passion.

Xu Qingmeng pushed him away with a look of anger, and then said with disdain: "What a shame! Have you forgotten that your wife is pregnant now!"

Gu Yunyi suddenly realized and felt secretly depressed. No wonder his wife agreed so readily. It turned out that she was waiting here!

Why!

The incident of cheating in the college entrance examination did not have much impact on Gu Yunyi and the others, but Jiang Mingyu really felt guilty.

Early the next morning, he brought breakfast bought from the street to my door.

In the following days, he came to their yard several times under the pretext of asking for advice, but Sun Jingyi was never with him.

I don’t know if he had a fight with Sun Jingyi. Since he didn’t mention it, no one would ask.

During the first two days after the exam, Gu Yunyi stayed at home with Xu Qingmeng almost all the time and did not go out.

Neither Fang Ziheng nor Zhou Yuanjia were the type to stay at home, so Fang Ziheng and Zhou Yuanjia strolled around the city every day, looking very leisurely.

"The weather is so muggy today? I'm afraid it's going to rain." Zhou Yuanjia said when he came back from outside.

Fang Ziheng nodded: "Every autumn rain brings a chill. I'm afraid it will be cold in a few days."

"What's the big deal? I guess the results will be announced in a few days. I can just stay in the yard." Zhou Yuanjia is in a very relaxed mood now.

Gu Yun saw Xu Qingmeng was upset because of the hot weather, so he said, "Let's go out to eat at noon today. The weather is hot and humid, so there's no need to cook."

Xu Qingmeng thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuanjia responded immediately: "I heard that there is a shop selling sesame cakes on the street opposite your stall. They are stuffed with meat and taste very good. How about we go there to eat?"

Fang Ziheng also echoed: "Yes, yes, I heard others talking about it a few days ago, saying that it is already a 30-40 year old store."

The two of them were so enthusiastic in recommending it that everyone decided to stay there.

After everyone made the decision, they headed towards that place.

The place Zhou Yuanjia mentioned was not a big store, but the location was excellent, and the group found it easily.

After the group entered, they found the place was completely occupied. Several people waited for a long time before a large table became available.

A few people sat down, one ordered a signature dish, a meat-filled sesame seed bun, and another ordered a bowl of vermicelli soup, and that was it.

"I can smell the rich aroma of meat before I even enter the store. No wonder the business is so good." Zhou Yuanjia sniffed.

"You are not left out of this delicious food. It's just a sesame seed bun with meat in it. Is it worth you being so excited?" Fang Ziheng said jokingly.

Zhou Yuanjia smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you? Madam Gu's cooking skills are so good that even if you go back, you can still eat it if you are thick-skinned. But this city is different. After you go back, you don't know if you will have the chance to come again!"

Gu Yunyi couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "That's all you can do."

"Brother Zhou, what you said is important. If it is important, you will have to come to the capital city to study in the future. Why don't you have the opportunity to come?"

"Haha, I'm not sure, right?" Zhou Yuanjia was in a good mood.

"Hey...isn't that Brother Jiang?"

Everyone was stunned, and then followed Zhou Yuanjia's gaze to look outside.

It was indeed Jiang Mingyu, and Sun Jingyi was beside him, but she had a stern face, as if everyone owed her something.

Fang Ziheng whispered, "The yard they rented in the back seems to be on this street, but a little further inside."

"No wonder we don't run into each other often. This street and our yard are in two different directions." Zhou Yuanjia said as he looked at Gu Yunyi beside him: "Do you want to say hello?"

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with saying hello, but the atmosphere between the two of them was not harmonious at the moment.

Before Gu Yunyi could speak, Jiang Mingyu noticed a few people first.

Then he smiled and nodded at the crowd, then pulled Sun Jingyi and whispered something.

Sun Jingyi also looked at Xu Qingmeng and the others. Her gaze stayed on Xu Qingmeng for a long time, and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.

However, Xu Qingmeng and others were sitting closer to the inside, and the two sides were quite far away from each other, so they did not see Sun Jingyi's disdainful look.

Gu Yunyi and others did not see it, but Jiang Mingyu saw it very clearly.

Jiang Mingyu's expression changed immediately: "Brother Gu and Madam Gu are deeply in love, and they are pregnant. Those are just your random guesses. Don't talk nonsense later, so as not to offend others."

Sun Jingyi was already indignant, and after hearing what Jiang Mingyu said, she said even more dissatisfiedly: "You still offended them? You are just stupid. You rushed to be brothers with them. You almost got kicked out of the group because of something like this. Did anyone care about you?"

"Besides, what did I say wrong? Not only do I show up in public every day, but I also meet with other men at home? What did I say wrong?"

The more Sun Jingyi spoke, the angrier she became. On the one hand, she was angry at Jiang Mingyu, who not only acted carelessly but also almost got himself involved. On the other hand, she felt that Gu Yunyi and the others were not good friends.

Sun Jingyi naturally felt that if Huang Boyang, as the son of the county magistrate, had helped explain a little more, why would Jiang Mingyu be interrogated for so long?

Just say a few more words if you don't want to help. We are friends after all, so you have to wait outside, right?

Jiang Mingyu was speechless about this. Did he really marry such a brainless wife?

It's not something that anyone can predict for sure about the topic. They told him everything without reservation because they treated him as a friend.

Sun Jingyi didn't understand at all. On the day she came out of the examination room, she heard about it. Not only did she not comfort him, but she became angry and yelled at him. She even hit him after knowing that he was going to apologize to Huang Boyang and the others.

No matter how Jiang Mingyu explained, she couldn't make it clear. She just insisted that it was Huang Boyang who harmed him.
