Chapter 16
A year later, Li Ningyun saw a crowd gathered at the gate of his house. He took a few steps forward and saw a shifty-looking man arguing with the guards: "I'm Guo An! Get out of the way! I want to see my mother and my wife!"
"Why won't you let me in?"
There were two people standing next to him, both young women dressed like village girls. Li Ningyun looked carefully and found that one was the heroine Yu Chuner and the other was Guo Wangshi.
Li Ningyun touched his nose.
I just think this matter is a bit funny.
In front of Guo Wangshi, Guo An said that he wanted to see his mother.
I don’t know what Mrs. Guo Wang is feeling now.
In this life, Guo An and the other two no longer had the foolish Wu Da to give them money, so they were in much worse shape than in their previous life. Their clothes were all scratched and their hair was a little messy.
Not only that, the current status of the male and female protagonists is also different from that of the previous life.
The sour smell of the love between the male and female protagonists in the previous life was so strong that it could splash all over Li Ningyun's face through the original owner's memory.
But now...
Li Ningyun looked at the silent heroine with interest.
There was no love in Yu Chuner's eyes when she looked at Guo An, but only disgust and aversion.
Li Ningyun felt sorry for Guo An after seeing this.
Tsk tsk~ How can you still judge people by appearance? Tell me~ What happened~
Li Ningyun thought without any guilt.
"Miss." The guard at the gate greeted Li Ningyun immediately when he saw her.
Upon hearing this, Guo An and the other two quickly turned around.
Yu Chun'er looked at the extraordinary and beautiful Li Ningyun and subconsciously tugged at her clothes.
Want to make myself look less embarrassed.
As for Guo Wangshi, as soon as she saw Li Ningyun, her eyes immediately reflected hatred.
I wish I could eat Li Ningyun alive!
When Guo An saw Li Ningyun, he rushed over and tried to grab Li Ningyun's arm, but was stopped by the guards who were quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Li Ningyun silently retracted his foot that he wanted to kick out with some regret.
Then he looked at the guard: "What happened?"
The guard answered honestly, "My lady, this man is talking nonsense. He claims to be General Guo An and is determined to see you and the old lady."
Li Ningyun looked at Guo An and asked in surprise, "Who did you say you were?"
Guo An saw Li Ningyun looking at him and quickly said, "Yun Niang, I'm Guo An! This is a long story. Please let me in and I'll tell you slowly."
After hearing what Guo An said, Li Ningyun stretched out his right hand and pointed at Guo An tremblingly, unable to say a word for a long time.
Little guy, isn’t it just acting?
I've been acting for several lifetimes, how can you really outdo me?!
Seeing Li Ningyun's expression, Guo An thought that Li Ningyun believed what he said, and now she looked like this because she was too excited to see him.
He looked at Yu Chun'er with some pride.
The disgust in Yu Chuner's eyes quickly disappeared, and she replaced it with a look of love.
Li Ningyun watched from the side and was so happy in her heart.
Isn’t this more fun than watching TV series?
Seeing Guo An looking at him again, Li Ningyun quickly put away his funny attitude.
She was so focused on acting that her fingers trembled slightly as she pointed at Guo An: "You! You! You! Our general has already sacrificed his life for the country. You scoundrel, don't insult the innocence of our general! Besides, our general is a handsome man, elegant and graceful, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He is tall, mighty, handsome and unrestrained. How can a scoundrel like you pretend to be him?"
Look at you, you have a mean face, shifty eyebrows, a pointed chin, and if you don't look closely you'd think your face is a nail that has turned into a spirit. You still want to pretend to be our general! !
Wuuwuwu~ General, open your eyes and take a look. After you leave, any cat or dog will be able to bully us, an orphan and a widow~ Wuuwuwu~ How can my mother and I live like this~"
Li Ningyun's tears drew sympathy from the onlookers. "Yes, yes, I've seen General Guo An from afar before. He was truly a handsome man. This man looks so ugly, how could he possibly be General Guo An?"
"Are you acting like a scoundrel because you think County Master Ningyun is a woman and easy to bully?"
"How can there be such a shameless person."
After hearing the discussions of the onlookers, Yu Chuner silently took a few steps back and kept a distance from Guo An.
Guo An had not expected Li Ningyun to say that. He anxiously defended himself, "No, I really am Guo An. I was surrounded by enemy soldiers and fell off a cliff. After waking up, I was inexplicably in this body and had lost my memory. I only recently remembered who I was.
I have come all the way back to the capital to meet you, but you no longer live in the general's mansion. I had to ask around before I finally found you here."
Li Ningyun ignored Guo An's subsequent pitiful words and just looked at Guo An with a cold smile: "Okay, since you say you are our general, do you have any evidence?"
As soon as Li Ningyun finished speaking, Guo Wangshi stood up directly.
He looked at Li Ningyun with hatred, yelling “Ahhhhhhh” non-stop.
Li Ningyun pretended not to understand and looked at Guo An: "Ah! Are they here in a group to trick us? And they brought a mute with them? Are they trying to take advantage of me, a kind-hearted woman?"
Guo An was speechless.
I don't know what to do.
After he recovered his memory, he went to the bottom of the cliff to look for something that could prove his identity.
Guo An also knew that no one would believe him in his current state.
He thought his things had fallen under the cliff. As long as he found his things, he could prove his identity.
But he searched for several days and couldn't find his previous token.
At one point he thought he was a resurrected ghost.
But this body felt too familiar to him.
He really didn't know what his current situation was.
Seeing Guo An's silence, Li Ningyun sneered: "Since you have no evidence, I will have no choice but to report it to the police!"
After Li Ningyun finished speaking, Guo An hurriedly shouted, "Where's my mother? Let her come out. She knows everything about my childhood. If we confront each other, we'll know the outcome immediately."
This was Guo An's original idea. He was not very familiar with Li Ningyun, and the two had never been alone together.
When he told Marquis Wu'an that he fell in love with Li Ningyun at first sight, he was actually attracted by Marquis Wu'an's power.
In addition, the original owner was also good-looking, so he had the idea of marrying her.
But how well does Guo An know Li Ningyun?
Sorry, not at all.
But if he doesn't understand Li Ningyun, how could he not understand his own mother?
Originally, Guo An was waiting confidently for Li Ningyun to send someone to invite his mother.
But after he said this, he felt that the atmosphere around him was even more wrong.
Li Ningyun pointed at his own hand, which trembled even more: "You...you...you...you shameless bastard!"
Guo An became even more confused.
He didn't understand...really.
Don’t you just want your mother to come out and help you prove your identity?
Why is someone staring at me like that?
And was he called a shameless person by Li Ningyun?
The onlookers couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
What's more, some people even threw the vegetable leaves in their hands towards Guo An.
The crowd cursed Guo An angrily.
Amidst the noise, Guo An finally understood why he was hit.
"Bah! How shameless! The old lady fainted the same day after hearing the news of General Guo's death, and has been paralyzed in bed ever since. Later, when she was critically ill, it was only after Princess Ningyun sold all her belongings that she was able to save her life."
"That's right, the miracle doctor said that the old lady can't stand the slightest provocation! This liar is really good, even trying to use the deceased general's identity to provoke the old lady. What a vicious mind."
"Who in the capital doesn't know this? Because of this incident, the county lady even received a reward from the Empress Dowager!"
"This guy is so shameless! He actually wants this old lady, who can't stand the slightest provocation, to confront him!"
"Exactly. Maybe he said that because he knew the old lady's physical condition couldn't stand up to him. How shameless!"
Guo An heard the discussions around him and looked up at Li Ningyun in shock. He asked, "What happened to my mother?!"
Before Li Ningyun could say anything, the governor of Kyoto came over with his men.
Seeing Li Ningyun, he quickly bowed and said, "Your subordinate Wang Hao greets the county lady."
Li Ningyun gently wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "Your Excellency, you must stand up for this county lady. This man actually pretended to be my husband. The general was a brave man who sacrificed his life for his country and died on the battlefield! He actually dared to blaspheme the general. He deserves death!"
The Jingzhao prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead from his hurried journey and said quickly, "The county lady is right. I will definitely uphold justice for the county lady."
"Come here, bring this shameless man who dares to impersonate a general to this prefect!"
When Guo An saw that things were not going well, he turned around and wanted to run away.
But how could those men let him get away right under their noses?
He took a quick step forward, intending to push Guo An to the ground.
But Guo An came from the battlefield after all, and he still had some martial arts skills.
How could he be subdued so easily?
Li Ningyun saw that Guo An was able to break out of the encirclement of the group of officers and soldiers.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he is worthy of being the male protagonist, his fighting power is really strong~
Then she calmly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the hero's knee.
Guo An was hit by a flying stone.
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
He turned around and looked at Li Ningyun with a complicated look in his eyes.
Li Ningyun rolled her eyes in an indecent manner.
Ugly man!
Just as Jingzhao Yin was about to take Guo An away, Li Ningyun pointed at the hostess who was quietly moving outside and said, "Sir, these two came with him. They are probably his accomplices. You should take them back for interrogation as well."
Guo Wangshi just stared at Li Ningyun but didn't dare to make any move.
The arrogance and domineering attitude of the past is completely gone.
Because Guo Wang knew that Li Ningyun in front of her would never indulge her.
Yu Chuner: "...I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I don't know him! He's so ugly, who would like him!"
Yu Chuner was anxious to distance herself from Guo An.
Are you kidding? If I really get involved with him and get thrown into jail, my life will be completely ruined!
Guo An looked at Yu Chun'er in disbelief. He shouted with a hurt look on his face, "Chun'er, you..."
Yu Chuner glared at Guo An: "I don't know you, don't shout."
But who is Jingzhao Yin? How could he be fooled by Yu Chuner's two sentences?
Even if both of them deny knowing each other, as long as Li Ningyun has given the order, they must be taken back for trial.
After all, the person who just came to find me was the prince's man!
What does this mean?
This means that the prince’s men are always paying attention to County Lady Ningyun!
"Take them all away!" Jingzhao Prefecture Governor gave an order, and his men stepped forward and grabbed Yu Chuner.
The two men struggled and were taken away by the prefect of Jingzhao.
Li Ningyun watched this scene and then wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
She forced a smile at the people around her and said, "Thank you all for your help. Otherwise, a weak woman like me wouldn't know what to do. Qiuping, tell the kitchen to set up a buffet at the gate of this courtyard today to entertain everyone. Thank you all for speaking up and protecting the reputation of my deceased general."
The common people waved their hands and said, "You are too polite, County Lady. The general sacrificed his life for his country. We all admire such heroes. How could we sit back and do nothing while the hero's family suffers injustice?"
"Yes, yes, you are too polite."
"Yes, yes, we can't just sit back and watch."
Li Ningyun expressed his gratitude a few more times before entering the yard.
On the other hand, the prefect of Jingzhao sent Guo An and the other two to prison.
Yu Chuner looked at Guo An angrily: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could I have been brought here? Didn't you say you were a general? Why don't you even recognize your wife? You liar!"
Before Guo An could recover from the blow of Yu Chuner's efforts to distance herself from him, he heard Yu Chuner's barrage of accusations.
His gaze towards Yu Chun'er slowly turned cold. After losing his memory, he had always had a different feeling towards her because she had saved him and the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Yu Chun'er. However, after regaining his memory, he could still feel Yu Chun'er's dislike for him.
He just lost his memory, not stupid!
Guo An: "Oh! What qualifications do you have to blame me? Don't think I don't know. The reason you saved me was because you knew I wasn't a simple person. Now you feel that I've implicated you? You're really hypocritical."
Yu Chun'er laughed at Guo An's tone. She retorted without hesitation, "Haha, don't you usually look in the mirror? You are such an ugly and wretched man, why do you think I would like you? Because of your small eyes? Because of your pointed chin? Or because of your collapsed nose? With your wretched looks, if it weren't for the nice clothes you were wearing when I saved you, do you think I would have saved you?"
Guo An's angry expression froze, and he stared at Yu Chuner.
Yu Chun'er felt a little guilty under his gaze, so she pretended to shout, "What are you looking at?! If you look again, I'll beat you up!"
Guo An rushed to Yu Chuner and clamped her shoulders with both hands.
Yu Chun'er was startled: "You, you, you, what are you doing? Let me go, or I'll call for help!"
Guo An asked anxiously, "Where is the suit I was wearing? Where did you put it?"
Yu Chun'er replied subconsciously: "Your clothes are all covered in blood. Such unlucky things, I threw them away long ago!"
Guo An suddenly let go of Yu Chun'er dejectedly, slumped to the ground, and muttered, "Throw it away... Haha, throw it away... Hahaha. It's gone, everything is gone..."
Yu Chun'er ignored the distraught Guo An and squatted in the corner, crying silently.
Ha! I must have been crazy to save him. If I had known he looked like this, I wouldn’t have saved him even if I had given him money.
Because his own reputation was completely ruined and he could never get married again.
Thinking back on the past three years, Yu Chuner even wanted to kill Guo An.
Because he himself was being criticized in the village.
Not only are there many scoundrels hanging around in front of my house for no reason, but I am also often teased by them.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out.
Mrs. Guo Wang was unable to speak now, so she did not participate in the quarrel between the two.
Instead, wait until the two of them have finished arguing.
Guo Wangshi then stepped forward and grabbed Yu Chuner's hair.
Yu Chuner was pressed to the ground and beaten violently.
In the past few years, Guo Wangshi has seen all the grievances that Guo An has suffered from Yu Chuner.
But she was only thinking about waiting for her son to recover his memory and then come back to take back everything that belonged to him.
So usually, I just turn a blind eye to Chun'er.
But now, all her hopes were shattered. Guo Wangshi knew that the bitch Li Ningyun would never let them return to the general's mansion.
Guo Wangshi had no place to vent her anger.
He saw his son Yu Chuner being bullied again.
Isn't it unbearable?
Guo An looked at the two people fighting with a blank expression.
This kind of scene has happened too many times in the past three years.
So much so that he has become numb.
He now only wanted to prove his identity and return to the general's mansion.
