When Liu Kai saw her face turn so fierce, he immediately waved his hand and explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to confirm it."
Zhang Meng sneered, looking at the hypocritical face in front of her, and said coldly, "Yes, I did date a man named Li Zhi for a while, but we later felt that we were not suitable for each other and broke up soon. After that, I met my current husband, and I have never contacted him again. If you want to ask me about your brother, I'm sorry, you won't be able to find out anything from me."
"Comrade Zhang, you really can't think about it carefully. Don't you know that my parents are going crazy because of me, your brother? Can't you be kind enough to help them? You..." As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards Zhang Meng.
"What do you want to do? Who dares to get so close to her? Back off, you hear me."
At this moment, a tall figure strode in from outside, stood in front of Zhang Meng, and looked at Liu Kai with a cold face.
Liu Kai was startled by Gu Mingtai's sudden rush out, and the hand hidden in his pocket suddenly clenched.
"Comrade, don't misunderstand me. I am a good person. I am from the Liu family, Liu Kai. I wonder if you have heard of my name?" Liu Kai raised his hands and explained to Gu Mingtai with a harmless look on his face.
"I don't care who you belong to. You are not welcome in my home now. Get out of my house right now. Do you hear me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingtai grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the gate.
When he approached the gate, Gu Mingtai threw it out without caring whether he was standing firmly or not, and closed the door directly.
Liu Kai, who had finally gained his footing, looked at the tightly closed door in front of him, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.
In the hall, Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man coming back.
Gu Mingtai was sitting next to her at this time, holding her hand and saying, "Be careful when you see him next time. This man has bad intentions. If I hadn't rushed over in time just now, I don't know what this guy wanted to do to you."
When Zhang Meng heard him say this, she immediately looked up and asked, "What's going on? Did you find anything?"
Gu Mingtai nodded. "Just now, when he walked towards you, I saw that he had one hand in his pocket. As he walked closer to you step by step, the muscles in his hand in his pocket became very tense. If there was no ghost, why would he be so nervous?"
Zhang Meng completely believed her man's words. When she heard that the man surnamed Liu actually wanted to harm her, she immediately stood up from her chair in anger and planned to run away.
"Where are you going?" Gu Mingtai asked, holding her hand. Zhang Meng looked at him and said, "What else can I do? Of course, I want to stop that Liu guy. I want to see how he can harm me."
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly and pushed her back into the chair. "Don't you think it's too late to chase her now? She's probably already left by now."
Zhang Meng felt that this statement was quite right when she heard it. She immediately sat back in her chair and then raised her head to glare at the man in front of her. "You too, you knew he had evil intentions, so why didn't you just catch him by the tail and let him go like this? Aren't you just letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly and whispered in her ear, "Do you know there's an idiom in this world, which is 'laying out a long line to catch a big fish'? That's what your husband is doing now."
Zhang Meng looked at him in surprise, "Alright, Gu Mingtai, I didn't expect you to have this trick."
Gu Mingtai smiled complacently and replied modestly, "Not bad."
While the fish were still not moving, Zhang Meng continued to live her life as usual, spending time with her family, refining elixirs, and drawing talismans.
After they finished helping the Yao family, two large carts of medicinal herbs were delivered.
Another half month passed. During this half month, Zhang Meng spent almost every day in the alchemy room.
Today, she was refining the last batch of pills when she suddenly heard Grandma Zhang's screams outside the house.
Zhang Meng was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately put down the work in her hands and ran out in a hurry.
In the yard, Grandma Zhang looked at the big locust tree planted in the middle of their courtyard with a pale face.
"Grandma, what happened?"
"Yes, yes, what happened?" Zhang Meng and Monk Jingchen ran to Grandma Zhang one after another and asked.
"Just now, just now this tree spoke. It's so scary." Grandma Zhang pointed at the big locust tree in front of her with trembling fingers.
Upon hearing this, Monk Jingchen immediately ran under the tree to check. Zhang Meng saw that Grandma Zhang's face had turned pale with fear, so he quickly helped her into the hall first.
"It really spoke. It told me that if your granddaughter breaks her promise again, it will come to our house and make trouble every day. It's so scary."
Grandma Zhang held Zhang Meng's hand and preached.
Zhang Meng frowned after hearing this. "Grandma, did you mention me in that big locust tree?"
Grandma Zhang took a sip of the hot water her granddaughter poured, and only then did she feel her frightened heart better. "Yes, that big locust tree mentioned you."
At this time, Monk Jingchen came over. Zhang Meng immediately asked him, "How is it, Master Jingchen, have you found anything?"
Monk Jingchen shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. The big locust tree is just an ordinary tree. There is no ghost energy on the tree that has been touched by ghosts or monsters."
At this point, Monk Jingchen looked at Grandma Zhang seriously and said, "Old woman, let me ask you, maybe you are mentally unstable and have made a mistake. There is nothing wrong with that locust tree at all."
