Chapter 101: Poisoning Roommate in a Dream
Because of her many years of giving birth to him, the old grandfather turned a blind eye to her various behaviors in the Marquis' Mansion for many years and was unwilling to care too much about it.
As time went by, her status grew, but she didn't know when she became short-sighted and narrow-minded.
The old grandfather's warning today is undoubtedly just right.
After hearing this, Gu Yuexuan showed a pensive expression: "You suddenly interrupted at the dinner table, did you do it on purpose?"
If Tu Subo had not mentioned at that time that he would not make the same mistake again in the future, the old grandfather's anger would have subsided long ago and this scene would not have turned out like this.
Tu Subo paused for a moment while changing his clothes, then smiled and said, "You saw through me so easily?"
"It was just speculation at first."
But Tu Subo's answer confirmed that her guess was correct.
Tu Subo said casually: "If you want a harmonious family, you must be most vigilant against those hidden dangers in the home."
"The old lady's heart is not pure. She favors my second uncle. It may be okay once in a while, but if it happens day after day, it is intolerable."
What’s the point of the whole family working together?
The harder they worked, the more wealth the old lady leaked from her fingers, flowing continuously to Tu Suye.
When the family business was at its peak, even if there were occasional complaints, no one was willing to delve into them. However, things are different now.
The financial power of the housekeeper must never be handed over to the old lady.
Even if what happened today had not happened, Tu Subo would still look for an opportunity to retrieve the confusing and never-to-be-clarified accounts from the old lady.
There is naturally some selfish motive in this, but it is more out of consideration that more people deserve fairness.
If not for this, Tu Suting and his wife would not have stood by and watched in silence today.
He was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the old lady's favoritism.
Gu Yuexuan gave a thumbs-up with respect and praised: "He is truly both wise and brave."
He is strong and healthy, able to hunt wild beasts in the mountains and forests. After returning home, he is familiar with the strategies of fighting in the house and is capable of doing anything.
Tu Subo's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of subtlety. After turning off the oil lamp, he walked towards the bed by the wall with ease.
After lying down and settling in, he did not forget to remind her: "Xuanxuan, stop kicking the quilt at night."
Ever since they started sleeping together, Gu Yuexuan has habitually kicked the quilt every night.
Tu Subo could hardly remember how many times he had to get up at night to cover her with a blanket.
Gu Yuexuan's little habit was ruthlessly exposed, and her cheeks gradually became hot in the darkness.
She stammered, "How would I know I would kick the quilt? How would I know if I was asleep?"
"have no idea?"
Tu Subo supported himself on the edge of the bed with one hand, looking gently at Gu Yuexuan who closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. He gently bent his index finger and flicked the tip of her nose.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I've already memorized it for you."
There was a faint light glimmering in his eyes, exuding a hint of mischief, which Gu Yuexuan could not see.
"Xuanxuan, do you know that after you kick off the quilt, you will instinctively move closer to a warm place?"
Gu Yuexuan stroked her nose, which was hurt by the bullet, and asked in confusion, "Really?"
She wondered, shouldn't this be everyone's instinctive reaction?
Who wouldn’t move towards warmth when it’s cold?
When she wanted to ask Tu Subo why he mentioned this, he had already returned to his own third of the bed with a smile.
He closed his eyes and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, just sleep peacefully."
Gu Yuexuan fell asleep with a heart full of doubts.
As her breathing became even and she gradually fell asleep, a big hand that had been prepared long ago reached out quietly.
Tu Subo gently pulled over the two overlapping quilts and gently embraced the sleeping Gu Yuexuan in his arms. In the night, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly.
"Xuanxuan, you rolled into my arms in the cold..."
The next morning, Gu Yuexuan's biological clock unexpectedly advanced half a minute. She sat on the edge of the bed, confusedly sorting out the meaning of her existence.
Tu Subo had just woken up from a dream, his long hair, which had been well-groomed, was now disheveled as if it had been hit by a violent storm. He casually lifted up his wrinkled clothes, as if he had just been freed from a fierce battle. His slender and powerful fingers lightly touched the edge of his collar, which bounced slightly unconsciously.
He spoke in a teasing tone: "Xuanxuan, I should change my clothes."
It sounded like a question, but also like a challenge: "Sitting like this, are you hoping to see it live?"
Gu Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, then a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she fled in a hurried manner from the stage where a new drama was about to take place.
She held onto the door frame, mumbling unwillingly, "Is this mess of you really my 'masterpiece'?"
How restless were her hands and feet in her dream that she could torture such a handsome young man into this state?
Tu Subo, with an innocent and clear look on his face, turned around to greet Gu Yuexuan, as if he wanted her to more deeply understand his "miserable" current situation. He even raised his arms exaggeratedly, as if he was showing the results of a failed fashion show.
He sighed softly, "Otherwise, is this a one-man show that I directed and performed myself?"
"Xuanxuan, I have already warned you about your mischief at night."
"Last night, you might have mistaken me for a warm quilt."
Gu Yuexuan was speechless and was about to explain.
"You fought with your hands and feet, and were nearly on the verge of using your teeth. Was it because I broke my promise to bring back the leather I promised you, and you were venting your frustration on me in your dream?"
Gu Yuexuan was furious: "I...I didn't!"
Tu Subo's eyes were deep, as if he was exploring her heart, but he finally decided to give up asking any further questions.
"Perhaps I really misunderstood."
His eyes swept over her lightly, then he withdrew his teasing and said calmly, "My skin is tough and thick, so it's not that easy to be trampled on. Even if you kick and rub me, it won't be a big deal."
"As long as you are willing, I don't mind returning to the cold ground and starting my life sleeping on the floor all over again."
Gu Yuexuan's suggestion, which was already on the tip of her tongue - that they sleep in separate beds - instantly collapsed after hearing Tu Subo's seemingly considerate explanation.
She rubbed her face weakly, and a depressed voice came out from between her fingers: "Forget it, I'd better go prepare breakfast."
What is the connection between Gu Yuexuan, who "poisoned" her roommate in her sleep, and Gu Yuexuan when she is awake?
Since the parties involved have 'no longer taken it to heart', the matter is over.
Gu Yuexuan tried to remain calm and turned to leave, but she almost tripped over the threshold and almost fell.
Tu Subo held the clothes he was about to put on in his hands and slowly lowered his head. After the door was completely closed, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a happy chuckle came out of his throat.
It turns out that after waking up, everything will be forgotten...
"Xuanxuan, haven't you always wanted to buy sorghum to make wine? In your mind, you've probably already calculated how much you want to purchase at once?"
With trepidation, Xi Lanfang accepted the remaining silver and the disorganized account books from the old lady. At daybreak, she eagerly rose, not caring about other trivial matters, and immediately carefully checked the accounts, summoning Yu and Li to review them together.
