"You go down first!"
Gu Qing tightened his grip on the booklet.
Although I got the things, I can't get out, so now I can only wait.
Wait for Chen Zhizhou to come back!
Wait for the person behind the scenes to take action again!
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she closed the book and put it aside tightly.
…
evening.
When Chen Zhizhou returned home, Gu Qing couldn't wait to ask him about his schedule for the day.
"Have we completed what we discussed last night?"
Her face was filled with anxiety.
Chen Zhizhou sat down slowly and poured herself a glass of water to moisten her throat before she said confidently, "Your husband is doing this personally, so why should you be worried?"
"That's good!"
Gu Qing finally showed a faint smile on his face, but he was still nervous inside.
"I've been thinking about this for a long time today, and I feel like there might be some clues we've overlooked. Why don't you take me out with you, and we'll do a thorough search, looking for any gaps, and see if we can find the key clues."
She didn't deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, but seemed afraid that no one could hear her.
His eyes were always fixed on the window.
Seeing this, Chen Zhizhou followed her gaze.
A furtive shadow was reflected outside the window.
Judging from the shape of the shadow, it looked like one of the maids that Gu Qing brought from her mother's home as a dowry.
But since she was a maid who came with the dowry, why would she eavesdrop with bad intentions?
Chen Zhizhou had some doubts in his heart, but he still chose to believe Gu Qing and agreed with her: "Okay, then you get ready!"
Gu Qing saw through his thoughts, curled the corners of her lips, stood up suddenly, walked to Chen Zhizhou, and sat down in his arms.
"Um?"
Chen Zhizhou seemed frightened by her initiative. His body stiffened and he looked a little at a loss.
Gu Qing didn't care at all, and even deliberately put her arms around his neck, pretending to be intimate.
"My dear husband, you have been working so hard these past two days. It's really hard work."
She pinched her throat, as if she was speaking to someone outside.
Chen Zhizhou frowned slightly, not understanding what she was trying to do.
The next second, Gu Qing pulled his hand over, and her white fingers, like tender bamboo shoots, gestured quickly in his palm.
Outside the window, Pei'er saw the two figures inside gradually overlap and curled her lips.
I didn't expect that the young lady really treated her peasant son-in-law as a treasure.
You are really not ashamed!
She didn't continue reading and turned away.
This time she got useful information. After catching them, the second lady will definitely reward her handsomely, and maybe even buy her a property.
She won’t have to worry about the rest of her life!
Pei'er smiled triumphantly, not knowing that she was stepping into a trap step by step.
Inside the room, Gu Qing didn't let go of Chen Zhizhou until she was sure Pei'er had left. Just as she was about to get up from his arms, he grabbed her wrist.
As he pulled hard, Gu Qing lost his balance and fell into his arms again.
"You want to run away after teasing someone? There's no such thing as a good thing!"
Chen Zhizhou's voice was clear and low, and his hot breath sprayed on her ears, like a feather gently brushing past, making her feel itchy.
Gu Qing shrank his neck, fearing that his "beastly" nature would take over.
"There's still some important stuff to do!"
She has specially arranged a good show for Pei'er, she can't be absent at the critical moment!
"Get ready, it's about to start."
Gu Qing stood up, brushed off the wrinkles on his body, and urged Chen Zhizhou to change his clothes as well.
…
In the corner of Chen Mansion.
Pei'er looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he fumbled to pull out a brick, wrote the message he wanted to deliver on a piece of paper, put it inside, and then covered it with the brick again.
After finishing everything, she pretended nothing had happened and returned to the yard.
Passing by Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou's bedroom, he deliberately looked inside.
Sure enough, there was no one inside.
She was even happier in her heart, and returned to her room with a smile, waiting for the reward from the second lady tomorrow.
Little did she know that Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou had already been watching her every move.
After Pei'er left, Chen Zhizhou hugged Gu Qing and jumped down from the tree.
"How did you find out there was something wrong with her?"
No wonder she asked her mother for Nanny Li as soon as she entered the mansion. It seems that she must have discovered early on that Pei'er was a traitor planted next to her.
He knew it, but remained calm. His scheming is truly admirable.
“It was also a coincidence.”
Gu Qing answered perfunctorily, but clenched his hands tightly, allowing his nails to scratch his palms.
To be honest, Pei'er is not always cautious and has no flaws. In the previous life, I was really blinded by greed, so I always trusted her and even took great pains to plan a way out for her before I died.
Am I not stupid too?
Gu Qing laughed at himself in his heart, his eyes were as cold as if they contained a piece of ten thousand year old black ice, and his emotions were complicated.
Feeling her mood drop, Chen Zhizhou tactfully shut up and didn't ask any more questions.
He could see that Gu Qing seemed to be carrying a lot of things.
"What do we do now?"
Chen Zhizhou stared at the loose brick, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
He actually dared to do such dirty things in the Chen Mansion. It seems that my mother's management was too lax, which gave people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage.
"Are we going to wait and see, waiting for the person with the information to show up and catch him?"
He turned and looked at Gu Qing, fully respecting her decision.
"No."
Gu Qing had already made plans and took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from his arms.
Chen Zhizhou recognized it immediately, "Isn't this the medicine that Mr. Huang gave you?"
"Well, this medicine was developed by Mr. Huang when he was bored. It can be used to play tricks on people."
Gu Qing smiled sinisterly.
As the cool night breeze blew, Chen Zhizhou felt a chill rising from his body.
"Could it be that you want to..."
Gu Qing nodded heavily under his gaze.
Since the person behind the scenes dares to take action, he must be able to withstand your own moves.
The thing that Mr. Huang gave me is nothing special. It won't kill you. It will just make you extremely itchy when it sticks to your body. And you can't scratch it, because the more you scratch, the more itchy it will become.
Once scratched, it will become red, swollen and ulcerated.
Gu Qing sprinkled all the medicine on it.
"Then shall we go back now?"
After she finished everything, Chen Zhizhou asked.
Gu Qing shook his head mysteriously and motioned him to take him to the tree again.
I have to say, this light skill is quite addictive.
"Why don't you teach me sometime? Then, if you're not around anymore, I'll be able to help you if you encounter any problems."
She looked at Chen Zhizhou seriously, her eyes full of desire, and her long and thick eyelashes flickered, looking particularly lively under the moonlight.
"Um?"
Chen Zhizhou stared at her, his mind distracted by her, then he retracted his arms, felt the soft body pressed tightly against him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Do you really want to learn?"
Gu Qing nodded heavily.
"That depends on your performance in the future!"
