Gu Qing was silent for a moment and did not immediately agree with his proposal.
After all, they are all family. If something happens to the second wife, it will inevitably affect Chen Zhizhou's future. However, according to Chen Zhizhou's temperament, he will definitely not cover up for the second wife.
"Ma'am, what do you think?"
Chen Zhizhou noticed Gu Qing's hesitation and patiently asked her what she meant.
Gu Qing's expression softened, and he sighed, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"Um."
Chen Zhizhou's eyes were firm. "You and I are husband and wife, so I must take your thoughts into consideration."
Moreover, he always felt that Gu Qing's choice might be more suitable and long-term than his own.
Gu Qing looked up, met his gaze, and said seriously, "I think this matter can be suppressed for the time being. Now that the stolen money has been found, let's end it here with Zhang Bin."
"No matter how much the Second House is guilty of capital crimes, they are still members of the Chen family and will affect your career in the future."
Chen Zhizhou's face grew darker, and his expression changed slightly as he looked at Gu Qing: "Is that what you think, Madam?"
“If there is no punishment, how can we learn from this?”
Chen Zhizhou's tone was a little distant.
Gu Qing smiled helplessly, "Are you blaming me? If so, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Chen Zhizhou's heart tightened when he saw the grievance and sorrow that flashed in her eyes.
Gu Qing is so smart that she must have guessed her attitude, but she still chose to express her thoughts.
"I know you did this for me and the Chen family. I was wrong just now."
Chen Zhizhou spoke softly. He hugged Gu Qing tightly, buried his head in her neck, and coveted the tenderness on her body.
Gu Qing felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red: "It's good that you know. I was just afraid that you would misunderstand me and think that I was such a heartless person."
"The Chen family rose to prominence later and is not a hereditary noble family. Their foundation is not deep yet. In addition, you are now very popular, and everyone is watching the Chen family's mistakes. Once the Chen family has firmly established its position in the court, it will not be too late to find a way to divide the family and punish the second branch."
Gu Qing slowly and methodically sorted out the current situation of the Chen family.
Chen Zhizhou's thinking gradually broadened, and a look of admiration lingered in his eyes. He actually felt that he had been in the Chen family for decades but did not understand the people of the Chen family as well as Gu Qing.
"You have your principles, and I have my considerations." Gu Qing felt heartbroken when he recalled the scenes of his previous life.
I don't want to have any more misunderstandings or disputes with Chen Zhizhou in this life.
Chen Zhizhou showed regret on his face. Just now, he did think for a moment that Gu Qing was no different from those timid women in Beijing who fawned on the powerful.
"sorry."
He lowered his head and recited each word, "My lady, you have been very thoughtful. Let the second wife enjoy herself for a few days. However, the death penalty may be spared, but the punishment of life cannot be avoided."
"As long as we can stabilize the current situation, the Second House deserves whatever suffering it endures."
A smile appeared on Gu Qing's face.
Not long after, she thought of Cuiping again and frowned, "From the look of Mrs. Lu, she probably doesn't know Cuiping. If she didn't do it, who else could it be?"
Chen Zhizhou was much calmer about this matter than she was. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll send someone to ask around. There are many beggars in Yinshan City, and the world-famous Beggars' Gang also originated from here."
Gu Qing heard this and suddenly realized: "Yes! There is also the Beggars' Sect!"
The Beggars' Sect is the most well-informed, how could I have forgotten about this!
"Good thing you reminded me!"
The worry between Gu Qing's brows dissipated a little. Under the candlelight, her skin was as white as cream, and her waist was slender and delicate, which made Chen Zhizhou feel hot under his body.
"lady."
Chen Zhizhou lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear. His warm breath was seductive. Gu Qing immediately sensed something was wrong and avoided his gaze.
"You should leave, otherwise the Third Prince and my father-in-law will get suspicious."
Chen Zhizhou pretended to be aggrieved and refused to let go: "Madam, are you so anxious to send me away? Do you know how sad I am?"
Gu Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
Why does this man always like to use such tricks recently?
"There's no point in pretending to be pitiful, let's go." Gu Qing was mentally exhausted and had no mind for sex.
"In that case, I won't pretend anymore."
Chen Zhizhou's lips curled slightly, and the desire in his eyes was unconcealed.
He held her in his arms and made her sit on his lap, and kissed her earlobes and neck with his thin lips, which then spread to her chest.
Even if Gu Qing no longer had any desires or requests, her emotions were inevitably aroused at this moment.
"You..." Gu Qing's body was so weak and her voice was as soft as water.
Chen Zhizhou's hands wandered around her waist, the thing under him pressed against Gu Qing's lower abdomen, and his tone was full of seductive affection: "Madam, last time you said that I can do whatever I want after three days, is it still valid?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Gu Qing's flushed face.
She couldn't muster any strength and collapsed in Chen Zhizhou's arms. She had no choice but to compromise and groaned, "Well, it counts."
After a night of passionate love, Gu Qing fell into a deep sleep at dawn, exhausted.
When she woke up, the person beside her had disappeared.
Gu Qing felt a little dazed, as if the tenderness of last night was just a dream.
Although he said he was unwilling, he was indeed greedy in his heart.
Gu Qing lowered his head and chuckled. At the same time, a white flying pigeon suddenly landed by the window.
She collected her thoughts and got out of bed, only to see a mailbox tied to the pigeon's leg.
Gu Qing took it off with a serious look, and when she saw the words on the letter clearly, the blood in her body began to boil.
But she still tried her best to remain calm. After changing her clothes, she called Feng into the house and handed him the crumpled letter: "Take a look."
The eyes under Liao Feng's mask were shining coldly, like a cold and dangerous dagger in the dark night.
"Madam, please wait at the inn with peace of mind. Le Feng will bring Miss Cui Ping back safely."
Gu Qing didn't immediately let him take action, but asked, "This is obviously a third-party force that is beyond our expectations. Are you really sure?"
Liao Feng was silent.
He didn't dare to make a promise to his wife, but as long as his wife ordered him to do so, he would complete the task even if it cost him his life.
"Chen Zhizhou told me the situation in Huaishui City last night. They should be leaving for Yinshan City today. Tell him to hurry up and come rescue me."
Hearing the last three words, Le Feng suddenly raised his eyes, his eye color changed slightly, and he seemed to have a hint of hesitation.
I have always carried out my missions as if they were military orders, and never interfered with my master's arrangements, but this time...
He frowned and said, "Madam, it is too dangerous for you to go alone."
"Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. For the time being, I can only act according to the instructions in the letter."
Gu Qing comforted her, "As long as you and Chen Zhizhou arrive in time, I will be fine."
"This maid must be saved?" In Feng's heart, only the master comes first, and the rest of the people are not important, not even himself.
Gu Qing smiled and thought back to his past life. All those who were loyal to him and loved him did not end up well.
In this life, I will definitely not let them make the same mistake again.
"Go ahead."
Gu Qing waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Yes, ma'am." Le Feng flew out of the window and disappeared.
Gu Qing looked at the letter paper on the table, packed it up, and set off for the woods in the south of the city.
