Chapter 43 You'll Pay the Price
"You hadn't been at work long this morning when Xie Manman came over..."
Su Xiangwan never intended to hide it from Gu Yanxiao.
They are husband and wife, destined to spend their lives together. How could she possibly deceive Gu Yanxiao for the sake of Xie Manman?
Moreover, only by letting the Gu family see Xie Manman's true colors can they avoid being deceived and hurt by her in the future.
After hearing everything that happened to Su Xiangwan in the back mountain, Gu Yanxiao's expression became colder and more gloomy than ever before.
He looked at Su Xiangwan in front of him, wanting to scold her for taking such a risk, but when he saw that she was clearly cautious, her eyes clearly said, "I did nothing wrong. If this happens again, I will do the same thing."
All the words in the world were reduced to a sigh: "Remember to prepare plenty of pepper spray. Also, no matter who asks, don't admit that you went out today."
Su Xiangwan's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with great surprise: "You're not angry anymore?"
Hearing her words, Gu Yanxiao was both amused and annoyed: "So you know that I don't want you to take risks? You also know that I'll be angry if you put yourself in such danger?"
"Well……"
Su Xiangwan raised her head, then lowered it again: "I just wanted to find out what she was really thinking."
In particular, after suspecting that Xie Manman was reborn, she felt even more uneasy.
Shouldn't the one who was reborn be the original female lead, Xu Yirou?
How did she become Xie Manman, this vicious female supporting character?
Gu Yanxiao helplessly raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying, "Alright, don't think about it so much. Your solution was the most perfect. But, that Ganoderma lucidum..."
“I secretly hid it outside and didn’t bring it back.”
Su Xiangwan quickly spoke up, after all, such a big thing was obvious to everyone, and she came back empty-handed, so this was the only thing she could say.
Gu Yanxiao nodded: "You're not allowed to go up the mountain for a while. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
"Okay." Su Xiangwan hadn't expected Gu Yanxiao to let her off so easily, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Yanxiao took in her subtle actions, feeling helpless.
If possible, he would certainly prefer her to stay at home obediently, as that would be the safest option.
But she was such a bright and cheerful person, a living, breathing human being. How could he, under the guise of protection, confine her to this small courtyard?
She had already suffered enough by accompanying him to this harsh village of Bakushu.
If he deprives her of her freedom, what right does he have to make her bear his children and spend her life with him?
Since that's the case...
Gu Yanxiao lowered his eyes and secretly decided that he would go to the back mountain after nightfall.
If it were Hou San...
During lunch, Gu's parents also learned that Xie Manman had brought Hou San to harm Su Xiangwan.
Mrs. Gu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kept holding Su Xiangwan's hand and crying, "Daughter, it's our fault. We shouldn't have brought you to the countryside. If something had happened to you, how could I have explained it to your parents!"
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry. I'm sitting here perfectly fine, aren't I? Don't worry, I was confident I could protect myself before I went."
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Mom, Yanfei, you must carry the chili water I made with you at all times. If there are any bad guys, just pour it on their faces."
"Sister-in-law, is that chili water really that effective?"
The naive Gu Yanfei was indeed diverted from the topic.
"Of course, Hou San just happened to be the subject of our experiment, so it's a good way to make use of waste." Su Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that someone had changed the subject.
She strongly suspected that the reason Gu Yanxiao was so easy to talk to and let her go was because Gu's mother was waiting for her there!
Thinking of this, she gave Gu Yanxiao a subtle glare.
Gu Yanxiao received a resentful look from her, and a smile flashed in his eyes. If he didn't teach this girl a "lesson", she would probably act rashly again next time.
After her mother's gentle yet firm approach, Su Xiangwan will surely be more cautious in the future.
"Yan Xiao, come here for a moment."
Just then, Gu's father spoke to Gu Yanxiao.
The two walked to the side, and Gu's father said softly, "It's not good for Hou San to just faint on the mountain like this. What if something really happens to him? Wouldn't that harm Xiang Wan?"
"Dad, don't worry! I'll go up the mountain right now and take him away."
Hou San is a scoundrel who deserves to die, but he is not worth making Su Xiangwan bear the burden of a life because of him.
"good."
Mr. Gu nodded, looking at his son with satisfaction.
His son is so outstanding that even in the face of great anger, he can still remain rational and calm.
Gu Yanxiao glanced at Su Xiangwan, who was talking to her mother and Gu Yanfei.
Seeing that she turned her head as if she had sensed something, he mouthed to her that he was going out for a bit, then picked up the wood-chopping knife next to him and went up the back mountain.
Although Su Xiangwan did not explain to him in detail where Hou San appeared.
But this posed no difficulty whatsoever for Gu Yanxiao.
After briefly examining the traces, they followed the path taken by Su Xiangwan and Xie Manman, heading straight for Hou San's location without any deviation.
As they approached Hou San's location, they heard a piercing cry for help.
"Help! Help! Don't come any closer... Ah! Someone, please help me!"
Hou San cried and scrambled to avoid the wild boar that kept chasing and biting him.
At this moment, he hated Su Xiangwan to the core, and even resented Xie Manman as well.
If it weren't for that bitch Xie Manman introducing me to Su Xiangwan, this thorny rose, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Thinking this to himself, Hou San broke down and cursed, "Su Xiangwan, Xie Manman, you two bitches, as long as I'm alive, I will make you pay the price!"
The wild boar that was chasing and biting him took his roars as a provocation.
She immediately pounced on him and bit his leg.
Hou San felt a sharp pain and immediately screamed in agony, "Ah! My leg!"
"Su Xiangwan, Xie Manman, even if I die and become a ghost, I will not let you go."
Gu Yanxiao, who was walking over with a knife in his hand, narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura flashing across his face, and slowly emerged from the jungle.
Hou San, who thought he was going to die, suddenly cried out like a drowning man seeing a lifeline when he saw Gu Yanxiao with a knife, "Save me! Please save me! I'll do anything you ask if you save me!"
