After saying this, he took out the wild chestnuts from his pocket.
Chu Chenyin raised his eyes and looked towards the top of the mountain.
The leaves on the hilltop had turned half yellow due to the drought, and the only remaining pheasants and rabbits were running down the hill, so they were so easy to catch.
I guess in a while, even rabbits won’t be caught in this mountain.
Night.
Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting had not slept yet, and not long after, a slight sound suddenly came from the door.
The two of them squatted carefully and walked out of the house, looking towards the door.
All I saw was a man in black clothes with his face covered sneaking outside the door trying to come in.
The man was bent over with his head down, as if he was unlocking something.
Chu Chenyin took a closer look. Wasn't this the country gentleman? He really wanted to sneak into her house in the middle of the night!
Upon seeing this, Fu Yanting strode forward and tried to catch Lu Xiangshen.
The land gentry reacted very quickly, turning around and running away.
Chu Chenyin quickly took out a small pistol for self-defense from his arms and pulled the trigger at the rural gentleman.
A bullet flew out silently from the silenced gun.
The bullet went straight through the land gentry's knee.
The country gentleman cried out in pain, dragged his injured leg, and crawled onto a carriage in shame.
Fu Yanting did not continue to chase after him. He looked at Lu Xiangshen's back as he left and slowly revealed a sinister smile, "Since he has come to our house, it would be impolite for us not to go back to his house."
Chu Chenyin closed the wall and said with a smile, "Of course, we should pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity in everything."
The two of them hit it off immediately, got on a carriage, and followed the country gentleman Lu to Lu's mansion.
The Lu Mansion doesn't look big from the outside, but it has everything inside.
Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting secretly came to the door of Lu Xiangshen's study.
At this time, he had just returned home. He was shaking with pain while changing his outer clothes and angrily said, "I had bad luck today. I almost got discovered. Humph! Sooner or later, I will succeed!"
Don't be fooled by his ugly appearance, he is a very ambitious person. When he was in the Qu family, he always had Miss Qu in his heart, thinking that sooner or later he would be able to marry the beautiful and wealthy Miss Qu and inherit the Qu family.
Unfortunately, before this dream came true, he was kicked out by the Qu family.
Now, Miss Qu has married and he is middle-aged, but his evil intentions are still there. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
