"Didn't you just come back from the army? How do you know where the Qian family is? How do you know where my older brother and the others are? Did you secretly follow them?" Rong Sheng had wanted to ask this for a long time, but she had been holding back. Now she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Gu Beiyi remained calm: "I came to the county town during the day and ran into your older brother and the others. I saw them enter that small courtyard, and later I came in this direction and saw your older brother and the others dealing with the Qian family!"
Gu Beiyi was talking nonsense with a straight face. With his bodyguards around, why would he need to follow the Rong brothers? He would rather spend that time hanging around Rong Sheng, making his presence felt and ensuring that Rong Sheng could only have eyes for him.
Rong Sheng snorted coldly and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she looked at the Qian family's gate and said, "Take me inside and see what the Qian family is up to."
Gu Beiyi put his arm around Rong Sheng, turned around and went through the back door of the Qian family, then rushed into the main courtyard of the Qian family.
Old Master Qian and Old Lady Qian lived in the main courtyard. The lights were off at the moment, so they must have already gone to sleep.
Rong Sheng still went in to check on them and made sure they were asleep. But she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she took the pulses of Old Master Qian and Old Lady Qian to see if their health was really that bad, which was why she had asked her father to stay.
As a result, although the elderly couple in the Qian family were not in good health and had some illnesses, they were healthy and did not need medical treatment at the moment.
So, the people who need a doctor's visit are not the elderly Qian couple.
Who could it be?
Gu Beiyi told Rong Sheng that Old Master Qian had two sons, the elder and the younger, who both lived in the Qian family home. Moreover, on the very first day that the younger son returned from his trip, he invited Rong Dong'an to the Qian family home for a medical consultation.
Rong Sheng frowned. "So, there's something wrong with the second son of the Qian family? Let's go check it out!"
Having received the benefits, Gu Beiyi naturally wouldn't refuse Rong Sheng's request, so he took Rong Sheng to see the situation of the second son of the Qian family.
Upon arriving at the courtyard where the second son of the Qian family lived, a strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard the crisp sound of a wine jar hitting the ground.
Rong Sheng paused for a moment, then glanced around the entire courtyard. There, at the stone table, she saw a disheveled man holding a wine jar, gulping it down. Several wine jars lay overturned and broken beside him, and the ground looked quite messy.
The man's hair hung down in disarray, obscuring his face, but when he picked up the wine jar to drink, his face was filled with pain, regret, and hatred.
The man was quite handsome, though not as stunning as her future husband, nor as physically imposing as her four brothers, but he gave her a very comfortable feeling.
"What terrible things did I do in my past life that I, Qian Ye, have to be punished like this?" Qian Ye is the second son of the Qian family. "Father, Mother, my eldest brother is your son, but am I not? Why have you always favored him since we were little? No matter what wrong he did, you always protected him and made me clean up his messes! I can tolerate all of that, but why do you let my eldest brother and Qian Rong take my woman by force!"
Rong Sheng: "..." What kind of melodramatic drama is this?
"I was kept in the dark all along, and I always thought that the child Zhi'er gave birth to was mine!" Qian Ye roared in anguish, and the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, smashing to pieces. The wine flowed down the ground and soaked his clothes.
But he didn't care at all. Leaning against the stone table pillar, he slumped down and cried out, "Zhi'er, my Zhi'er, I love you so much, I wish I could give you my heart. Why did you betray me? Do you know how much my heart aches?"
"Ahhh—Hao Zhi! I hate you! Qian Rong! I hate you too! Father, Mother, I hate you the most! If you hadn't indulged me and allowed my elder brother to take my woman, my Zhi'er wouldn't have betrayed me!"
"Is there any man in the world as useless as me? I just watched my woman being slept with by my older brother, and I didn't dare to say a word. I could only hide here and drink my sorrows away!"
"No, the most hateful one is Xie Yiqing, that bullying bastard! If you weren't the county magistrate, I would have killed you long ago! My Zhi'er, why did my Zhi'er betray me? It's all because you were lustful! If it weren't for you, my Zhi'er wouldn't have become like those women in the brothel, never home at night! Serving you and my heartless older brother every day..."
Rong Sheng: "..."
Holy crap!!!
That green hat is worn really high!
Not only did your own woman betray you, but she was also taken advantage of by several men at the same time... You're really pathetic!
Rong Sheng despises the second son of the Qian family, but that doesn't mean she doesn't check whether the second son's father is even in his courtyard.
Gu Beiyi led Rong Sheng silently through the courtyard of the second son of the Qian family, but they couldn't find Rong Dong'an, not even the dregs of the medicine, which meant that Rong Dong'an was not with the second son of the Qian family.
Let's go take a look at the eldest son of the Qian family's courtyard.
Gu Beiyi couldn't wait to be close to Rong Sheng all the time, so when he heard Rong Sheng say that, he quickly grabbed Rong Sheng's waist, leaped away from the second son's courtyard, and headed towards the eldest son's courtyard.
Before long, they arrived at the courtyard of the eldest son of the Qian family.
The courtyards of the eldest and second sons of the Qian family are adjacent and not far apart. The Qian family's defenses... are not very good.
For Gu Beiyi, who was highly skilled in martial arts, it was as easy as walking down the street, without any pressure whatsoever.
Upon entering the courtyard of the eldest son of the Qian family, Rong Sheng frowned deeply and covered her nose tightly, not for any other reason than that there was an indescribable fishy smell in the courtyard of the eldest son of the Qian family... the smell was particularly strong!
Upon smelling the fishy odor, Rong Sheng almost vomited.
If Gu Beiyi hadn't quickly led her out of the courtyard, she would have really vomited.
"What's that smell? It's disgusting!" Two brothers, one courtyard reeks of alcohol, the other reeks of fish. What are they doing?
Gu Beiyi wasn't much better off; no matter how fast he dodged, he couldn't escape the pungent, fishy smell immediately.
His handsome face was full of disgust and revulsion: "Rong Sheng, this smells so disgusting, do you want to go in and take a look?"
It's best not to, right? I felt nauseous just from not stepping into the yard. If I went in, wouldn't I be vomiting until the world seemed to end?!
Rong Sheng's face stiffened, then she said with difficulty, "I really don't want to go in, because the smell inside is absolutely disgusting, even more unbearable than the stench of a latrine! But what if my father is inside? If I don't go in, my father..."
Gu Beiyi frowned: "Can you stand the nauseating fishy smell inside?"
This fishy smell... Gu Beiyi was embarrassed to say. If he didn't have memories of his past life and hadn't been with Rong Sheng, he might not understand. But he had been with Rong Sheng, so he knew very well what this fishy smell was.
He knew it, but he couldn't stand other people's things, so Gu Beiyi really didn't want to step into the Qian family's eldest son's courtyard; it was just too disgusting.
