Gu Qing closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep, and didn't say another word.
Pei'er's mind was filled with what Aunt Liu had told him today. She was preoccupied the whole time, thinking about how to act in order to save herself and her entire family's lives.
The atmosphere fell into silence until they reached the gate of Chen's house.
"Miss, please slow down."
Pei'er reached out to support Gu Qing and gave him careful instructions.
Gu Qing had a smile on his face, and only after she supported him all the way into the yard did he take off his smile.
In a calm tone, he said:
"Pei'er, since you're injured, you should rest for a while. I have Cuiru and Cuiping waiting for you, so you don't have to worry."
Pei'er looked flattered.
"Thank you for your consideration, Madam. I am much better now. The wound on my forehead is just a minor injury and will not cause any harm."
Looking at her innocent appearance, Gu Qing raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his lips.
"How can this be possible?"
"If outsiders saw this, they would think I was mistreating my subordinates!"
"Just take care of it with peace of mind!"
Gu Qing rejected the idea of continuing to serve with just a few words, and his tone did not allow for questioning or rebuttal.
Pei'er was helpless, but could only thank him.
She always felt that something was wrong, but when she thought about it more carefully, she couldn't figure out what it was. She could only give up and stop letting her thoughts run wild.
"Sister Pei'er, look how much Madam values you and how considerate she is!"
Cuiping watched her come out and immediately took her arm affectionately, saying in a very familiar tone, "To be able to follow such a good master and be appreciated by him is simply a blessing from a previous life!"
"Yes, yes! We are so envious of you, sister."
Cuiru also joined in the conversation.
Pei'er was flattered by their words and felt dizzy and proud.
"That's because the kindness that Madam has shown me is not something that everyone can receive."
…
inside the house.
Gu Qing walked quietly to the window and looked out the window. He happened to be able to see Pei'er, Cuiru and Cuiping. Listening to their conversation, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Even though she knew that he treated her well, she did not repent and still chose to betray him.
Such a person is simply unforgivable!
Gu Qing rarely gets angry with others, but at this moment his eyes were filled with anger, and the aura around him was much colder.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Zhizhou came to her side without knowing when.
He suddenly spoke, startling Gu Qing.
"How come you walk without making any sound?"
Gu Qing covered her chest with her hands in fear, gave him an unhappy look, and spoke in a coquettish voice.
Chen Zhizhou smiled faintly when he heard that, took her hand, and followed the direction she had just looked. Under a pear tree, three maids were talking and laughing, looking very happy.
But she didn't seem happy when she saw this scene.
"You were so focused on your work that you didn't notice me. Now you're trying to shift the blame and accuse me. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Listening to his teasing, Gu Qing pursed her lips and pretended to be displeased.
"Hmph, we've only been married for less than two months, and you already think I'm being unruly. It seems men are always fickle. If that's the case, why don't you find someone new and take in two more beautiful concubines? Wouldn't that make you happy?"
“You!”
Chen Zhizhou was unable to resist her clever words and could only beg for mercy.
"I was really wrong before. I thought Madam was aloof and cold, but now it seems that she is... a jealous person!"
His voice was low and close to the ear, making people recall a lot of things.
Gu Qing blushed, raised her hand in embarrassment and pinched his waist.
"I'm not jealous!"
"Whoever you like and want to marry, just marry him!"
Chen Zhizhou grabbed her hand and shackled it to his chest. With a narrow gaze, he asked inquiringly, "Do you really not care at all?"
"not give a damn about."
Gu Qing couldn't break free and was extremely angry.
"I can see that too. You must have someone in mind. Just go ahead and marry her. I'll make room for you and I promise not to disturb your love!"
Hearing her jealousy, Chen Zhizhou smiled and hugged her in his arms.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "There's no other person. Don't you know who I'm hiding in my heart?"
The hot breath sprayed in his ears, and Gu Qing felt his waist tighten, and his whole body was distracted by him.
"Who is hiding in your heart? Why should I know it?"
"Um?"
Chen Zhizhou narrowed his eyes and stared at her with burning eyes.
Gu Qing felt guilty when he stared at her. Just when she wanted to lower her head, he moved her body over and forced her to look him in the eye.
"You, what are you doing?"
Chen Zhizhou smiled, pinched her chin with his slender fingers, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Since Madam says she doesn't know, then it must be my fault. I must reflect deeply on this."
Review?
Gu Qing was confused by what he said. Just as she was about to frown, she was kissed by warm lips.
“Hmm…”
She was startled and her face turned red. Like a cooked shrimp, she leaned weakly in Chen Zhizhou's arms.
Chen Zhizhou became more and more excited and deepened the kiss seriously.
I don’t know how much time passed until Gu Qing felt like he could hardly breathe, and then he slowly let go.
"I wonder if my wife is satisfied with my husband's self-reflection?"
Chen Zhizhou looked at the woman with a flushed face, buried quietly in his arms, with a smug smile on his lips, and asked softly with a raised tone.
