Chapter 80 Gu Rongyu obtains important evidence
After washing, Chang Xixi returned to the room. The man who was studying hard at the desk was gone, and a shadowy figure appeared behind the screen. She felt playful, so she gently closed the door, walked over, and carefully stuck her head out.
The beautiful body appeared before her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment. The scene of her pressing the man on the table that day echoed in her mind, and she swallowed.
This is not good, even though they are husband and wife!
The marriage hasn't been consummated yet.
Chang Xixi put away her lustful heart, calmed herself down, and walked to the door again. She was dressed in a dress and pushed the door open. "Husband? Hey, why aren't you reading anymore? Where have you been?" As she spoke, she followed the sound of running water and walked behind the screen, swallowing again.
"Husband, you are taking a bath?"
"My wife is back?"
There was another sound of running water, and Chang Xixi listened to the sound of wiping, and then the sound of dressing. She quickly sat on the edge of the bed, feeling uneasy, not knowing where to put her hands. As soon as the person behind the screen came out in underwear, Chang Xixi quickly turned her head away.
Gu Rongyu knew that she had just made a series of small movements, and now she was trying to cover up her mistake, so he smiled in his heart.
He sat down on the bed and asked, "Madam, are you shy?"
"No, that's not the case. How could I be shy?" She quickly took off her shoes, wrapped herself in the quilt, and pulled it over to cover her face. Her red ears revealed what she was thinking at the moment.
The man beside the bed smiled lowly, and without exposing Chang Xixi, he stood up, blew out the candle, covered himself with a thin quilt, and whispered quietly in Chang Xixi's ear, "My wife, we have been married for more than half a year, but we have not yet achieved a happy ending. Don't you like being your husband?"
Chang Xixi was stunned for a moment. She doesn’t like it?
What does this mean?
Could it be that Gu Rongyu, that dead-faced brat, liked her? Impossible, how could this be possible? Was he feeling better physically and mentally, and had nothing better to do, so he came to her to cheer her up?
"Go to sleep! Tomorrow, you have to go to school with the master, and you have to get up at three quarters past three in the morning. I won't accompany you so early, so let Qingnan come in and serve you." She turned over, turned her back to Gu Rongyu, breathed evenly, and fell asleep.
Gu Rongyu sighed. The meat was placed on the table, but he could only look at it but not eat it. Only he understood this feeling. He was not Liu Xiahui, so it would not be a big deal if he endured it for a long time.
Liang Ming and Qing Nan, who were watching this scene on the roof, laughed secretly.
Li Da and Ren Wen returned to the courtyard tonight. Chang Xixi told them to go back and guard it, saying Qing Nan would be enough here. Zhou Zhiwei couldn't stir up any trouble for the time being, and besides gossiping behind people's backs, he had no other skills.
A child who is not loved by his father and not loved by his mother makes people feel a little pity for him.
The night is hazy.
Qingnan was waiting outside the yard early. When he saw Gu Rongyu coming out in black clothes, he went straight to Mr. Zhou's study. Outside the gate of the yard, the shadows of bamboos were swaying, and the night watchman was knocking his stick. It was one quarter past three in the morning.
"Go open the door."
Liang Ming had been waiting in the yard early in the morning. When he heard the noise outside the door, he opened the bolt of the gate, let the two people in, and then locked the door.
At this time, the lights in the study were brightly on, indicating that Mr. Zhou had not yet gone to bed.
Qingnan walked up and knocked on the door, saying, "Beyond the mountains, there are tall buildings. Beyond the buildings, you can reach the stars. An old friend of Lanshi is here to visit. I wonder if anyone inside can make it convenient for you?"
Mr. Zhou, who was writing in the room, paused.
Here he comes, that man has come. He thought he would never see the heroic figure of that man again, but unexpectedly, he left behind his bloodline. He stood up and walked to the door and replied: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees. I climbed the high building alone and looked at the end of the world." He opened the door.
Mr. Zhou looked at the person outside the door and was stunned. This...this, he knelt down.
"I didn't know it was Mr. Gu, I am just blind."
"Get up."
Gu Rongyu walked in, followed by Qingnan. Liang Ming leaned against the pillar at the door with a long sword in his hand, staring at the bright moon.
Mr. Zhou wanted to make tea for Gu Rongyu, but then he thought about how dawn would come in a few hours, so he just poured a bowl of water and said, "Sir, please, it's not appropriate to drink tea late at night."
"Very good."
"Let's make a long story short. Young master has to go to bed soon. Shouldn't I go to school with you in the morning? You have nothing to do all day and are looking for trouble." Qingnan complained on the side. He now held the sword on his waist in his hand and stood behind Gu Rongyu.
"Yes, yes."
Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly as he pulled out an account book from a secret compartment in his study and handed it to Gu Rongyu. "I've kept this for over ten years. Because I don't socialize with other officials, I'm neither greedy nor overly poor, and I'm honest and loyal. So no one suspects me, and that's why I've been able to keep it."
Gu Rongyu took the account book and took a look at it, then frowned. He couldn't understand it.
Then Master Zhou took out a book titled "The Art of War" and an abacus, and placed them in front of Gu Rongyu. "You see, these are all numbers. You have to combine the numbers on the abacus with the corresponding pages and words in the sentence to decipher a name."
"So mysterious?"
"That's why this thing has survived until now. No one knows what's written on it. Even if you took it, it would be useless. Only those who know this solution can understand the secret. At first, I didn't understand it either, until one day I went to see someone on an errand and found out."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Rongyu stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Zhou. His plan of revenge was just one step away from success. This was truly a timely relief.
This morning, Qingnan only said that there was an old friend of his father's in the courtyard, and it would be better to visit in the evening. Because the other party did not want to reveal his identity, he could only imagine the meeting. The other party was also unaware of Gu Rongyu's identity, and only when they met did they realize that they had met before.
When Mr. Zhou saw Gu Rongyu for the first time, he felt that he looked a little similar, but he didn't expect that he was really related to her. When he saw her tonight, he was also scared.
I'd like to ask how to read this account book. It's already 3:15 am and the night watchman has already knocked three times.
After walking out of the courtyard, Master Zhou followed him out again. Before he could pull down Gu Rongyu's sleeve, Qingnan stopped him, "Master Zhou, do you have anything else to say?"
"Sir, if you encounter any difficulties, please let me know if I can help. In addition, I wonder how you treat my daughter whom you have raised for more than ten years. She is naughty by nature, loves gold and silver jewelry, and is greedy. Please bear with her if there are any bad things she does." Master Zhou said the rest of the words with great difficulty. The most important thing was that he was worried about Chang Xixi's safety.
Gu Rongyu stopped and turned around, "Don't worry, Master Zhou. I treat her like my wife and will not neglect her."
