"I have to go home and do something." Gu Qing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chen Zhizhou who was sitting in front of her. She said in a low voice with a smile on her face.
When Chen Zhizhou heard her mention going home, his expression suddenly changed and his mood became tense. "I'll accompany you."
Gu Qing's smile widened. She picked up a piece of Eight Treasure Duck with her chopsticks and placed it on Chen Zhizhou's plate. "Look at what you think of me. How can you be so stupid? If anyone wants to bully me, I can really let them bully me at will."
"My wife is extremely intelligent, so naturally..." Before Chen Zhizhou could finish his words, his mouth was blocked by the eight-treasure duck.
This time, Gu Qing was fully prepared to go home.
She could just take advantage of this incident to summon Gu Yun and take credit for it. After all, the Fifth Prince had been very popular in the court these days because of the disaster relief funds.
I can also teach Aunt Liu and her daughter a lesson...
besides--
"But, my husband, there is something I really can't do alone. I have to ask you to accompany Qing'er to perform a play together." Gu Qing smiled and blinked her bright red eyes at Chen Zhizhou.
When I saw her expression and eyes...
Chen Zhizhou immediately knew that he had been cheated by eating the Eight Treasure Duck.
He subconsciously dodged and moved to the side.
Gu Qing stood up and quickly chased after him, whispering in his ear, "My husband's reputation is already so bad, I don't care about one more charge. But if my husband doesn't cooperate with me on this matter, I won't be able to return to my parents' home properly..."
After she said this, she deliberately pretended to look pitiful.
Normally, Chen Zhizhou would satisfy whatever she asked for, not to mention when she acted like a spoiled child and begged like today.
How could Chen Zhizhou withstand this?
"It is true that heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women. Today I have witnessed it." Chen Zhizhou sighed in embarrassment, and he looked up and down at the person in front of him with an expression that was difficult to describe.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing knew there was definitely hope!
What's more, she only asked Chen Zhizhou to cooperate with her in a play, not to do anything serious...
She laid out her plan in full.
You've only said half the sentence!
Chen Zhizhou immediately jumped up in a frenzy. "What did you say? You want your husband to announce in public that he wants to divorce you and marry that courtesan? You—can't!"
"My husband used the courtesan as an excuse to go out early and come back late every day. Now I just want you to accompany me to play this scene to the fullest." Gu Qing's face immediately fell, and the smile on his face no longer appeared.
When she said this, those who were unaware of the situation and heard it outside might think that Chen Zhizhou had bullied her.
Chen Zhizhou looked at her in embarrassment, and explained to her seriously, "Qing'er, marriage is a serious matter, how can it be a joke? What's more, you know that there is nothing going on between your husband and that courtesan. How can I live with my conscience when you let your husband say that? I have a beautiful wife at home, but I want to marry that courtesan? People who don't know the truth might think—"
"Do you think my husband is blind?" Gu Qing chuckled. She poured Chen Zhizhou a cup of tea and explained slowly, "I just asked my husband to have a quarrel with me, so that people would believe that there is a rift between you and me. Don't you think we are still short of more than 5,000 taels of silver for disaster relief?"
In the end, Gu Qing used her eloquent speech to convince Chen Zhizhou by appealing to his emotions and reason.
Chen Zhizhou really had no way to deal with her. He first brought up the relationship between them. Seeing that this trick didn't work on him, Gu Qing started to talk about the common people in the world.
"This time, your husband has reluctantly agreed to your request, but we have to make three rules." After Chen Zhizhou said this, he seemed to realize that something was a little inappropriate, and seriously took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He is already such a grown-up, and he is also the commander-in-chief of an army and holds a high position.
Gu Qing couldn't believe why Chen Zhizhou wanted her to sign and even put her fingerprints on it. "I have to do this to prove my innocence. Otherwise, if Madam uses this to prove it, or if she has other ideas and really wants to divorce me when she returns to her parents' home, where will I go to seek justice?"
Gu Qing looked at him and couldn't help laughing at him. "You really are such a fool! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you write this down in black and white?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? Besides, as long as my wife signs and seals the contract, it will be effective, and I will have the confidence to be the bad guy." As Chen Zhizhou spoke, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
Although Gu Qing scolded him for being too childish, she still cooperated with Chen Zhizhou's behavior.
She took out her lip balm and pressed her finger on it. One of her fingers was stained with bright red, and then she placed the tip of her finger on the paper.
"Can you finally rest assured now?" Gu Qing folded the contract in his hand and handed it to Chen Zhizhou with both hands.
Chen Zhizhou, a man of three feet tall, felt as aggrieved as a young wife at this moment. He hung his head and said, "Madam, since I have suffered such a great injustice, how will you make it up to me when you come back in the future?"
make up?
Fortunately, he was able to say it...
The two were in love with each other when the wooden door suddenly creaked.
Pei'er, who was walking in with tea and pastries in her hands, saw this scene and quickly lowered her head.
"Young Madam, Third Young Master, it's time to eat. The old lady and the others are already waiting in the dining room." Pei'er said as she quickly brought tea to the table.
At first, Gu Qing had already forgotten about Pei'er.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She ordered people to keep a close eye on Pei'er all day and watch her every move.
Unexpectedly, Pei'er was very obedient today.
There were no unexpected incidents during the banquet that day.
Then, what was the use of the packet of medicine powder that she saw Pei'er take from someone last night?
Gu Qing took a casual glance and saw that Pei'er looked like she had dressed up specially today and was wearing a peach pink long gauze dress.
Dressing like this wouldn't have been a big deal in the past...
She usually doesn't like to restrict the people under her too much in terms of clothing, housing and transportation, as long as it's not excessive.
Pei'er also had a light elegant fragrance on her body, which was obviously caused by special fumigation!
"The scent of the incense on Pei'er is very special. I have never smelled it before. Who makes it?" Chen Zhizhou glanced at Pei'er coldly and asked softly.
