Chapter 235 It’s so hard to talk to a stupid person. How can he be an official?
Chu Ruohan didn't say anything. Today was really different from the past...
She watched Gu Cheng'an's back as he left, hoping that this time he could take a different path.
Gu Junze walked over to her side and looked at Chu Ruohan's profile. "He is different from them."
"Yeah!" Chu Ruohan murmured.
Those people in Anyang Marquis' Mansion only have power and endless benefits.
Gu Cheng'an is a man who puts feelings above everything else and is deeply in love. He is willing to give up his wealth and future for a woman.
It is Du Ruoling's blessing to be loved wholeheartedly by such a man.
"It's a pity that Du Ruoling doesn't know how to cherish." Chu Ruohan directly expressed her thoughts.
When Gu Junze heard this, he felt a little jealous and snorted softly, "She doesn't cherish it because she has no vision.
As he spoke, he moved closer to Chu Ruohan, staring at her intently.
Chu Ruohan was stunned, then she realized it was Gu Junze, "Why are you here? Isn't today a day off?"
Gu Junze's face looked a little tired, and his deep eyes seemed to be looking into her heart.
"I encountered an assassination attempt last night, and I asked Vice General Shi for a few days' leave."
When he returned home and heard that Chu Ruohan had gone out, he was worried about her safety and came to look for her immediately.
Who knew that when I came over, I saw Chu Ruohan and Gu Chengan sitting opposite each other in the teahouse.
He watched the two talking from a distance and felt uneasy.
At this moment, seeing Chu Ruohan still feeling sorry for Gu Chengan, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
"But why are you suddenly so emotional and speaking up for him?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to Chu Ruohan, as if he wanted to find some signs on her face that she cared about Gu Chengan.
Chu Ruohan was left in a state of confusion by his reaction.
"Why are you suddenly jealous? I was just speaking the truth."
"I'm just jealous." Gu Junze reached out and grabbed Chu Ruohan's hand, applying a little force to bring her closer to him.
"You are my wife, so stop feeling sorry for other men. No matter how good Gu Cheng'an is, he is still someone else. How can he compare to how good I am to you?"
As he said this, he placed Chu Ruohan's hand on his chest and said, "Feel it, this heart of mine can only hold you."
Chu Ruohan's cheeks flushed slightly. She patted his hand gently and said angrily, "You are already an adult, why are you so reckless?"
"Meng Lang, please be kind. You are my wife," Gu Junze rested his chin on top of Chu Ruohan's head and said in a muffled voice, "When I think of you and him just now in the teahouse, the two of you drinking tea and chatting quietly, I feel uncomfortable."
Chu Ruohan gently pushed Gu Junze, "He is your brother."
When Gu Junze heard this, he not only did not restrain himself, but hugged her even tighter, "My brother shouldn't do that either. We should keep our distance."
Gu Junze did not forget that Chu Ruohan was originally going to marry Gu Chengan.
It was only because of Du Ruoling's intervention that she decided to marry him.
"Let's go!"
Gu Junze released his arms around Chu Ruohan, and instead gently held her fingertips and whispered in her ear.
Chu Ruohan was led by him into the depths of the alley and blinked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"I'll take you to see someone." Gu Junze turned his head to look at her, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.
He held Chu Ruohan's hand and walked along the winding alley until they stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.
The shadow guard had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Gu Junze, he immediately opened the gate respectfully.
As she stepped into the courtyard, Chu Ruohan saw a fat man tied up in the middle of the courtyard - it was Minister Liu.
He was tied tightly to a pillar, his eyes covered with a black cloth, and he was shaking constantly.
Only then did Chu Ruohan realize that Gu Junze had actually arrested Minister Liu.
His style of doing things was indeed much more direct than she had imagined.
"My dear fellows, please let me go!"
When Minister Liu heard the footsteps, he immediately pleaded, his voice full of fear, "I have silver at home, any amount is fine!"
Chu Ruohan looked at the piece of fat in front of her that kept begging for mercy, and felt a bit disgusted.
She really couldn't understand why Du Ruoling would leave a handsome young man like Gu Cheng'an and instead hook up with such a fat, middle-aged man, and even want to marry him as her legal wife?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind - Yuanlai Inn?
"Could it be that Marquis Anyang has already known about the affair between Minister Liu and Du Ruoling, and wants to take advantage of the mine incident to get rid of him for his son?" Chu Ruohan whispered her guess to Gu Junze.
Gu Junze turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes full of admiration, "Your idea coincides with mine."
The water behind this was deeper than she had imagined.
Gu Junze walked up to Minister Liu and deliberately lowered his voice, making it hoarse and difficult to understand: "In the matter of the Ministry of Industry embezzling iron ore, Minister Su wants to use you as a scapegoat."
Minister Liu's fat body trembled violently. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Minister Su has already given benefits to Prince Yong. Prince Yong will not pursue it further!"
He shook his head anxiously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes: How stupid!
"Prince Yong accepted a bribe from Minister Su? How did you know?" Gu Junze asked, his voice still pretending to be low.
Minister Liu then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately kept silent, but his chubby face was already full of panic.
"Speak! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving alive today!" Gu Junze said coldly, while signaling the shadow guard to come forward.
"I, I don't know! I'm just guessing! It's all just my guess!"
Minister Liu hurriedly defended himself, his voice changing tone, "My dear friends, I really didn't know anything! You kidnapped the wrong person!"
Chu Ruohan stepped forward and sneered, "Master Liu, that's not what you just said. Since you and Minister Su are in cahoots, don't blame us for being rude."
"No! I didn't! Minister Su and I are innocent!" Minister Liu shook his head desperately, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
Gu Junze sneered and approached Minister Liu. "Minister Su gave benefits to Prince Yong? You also know about this?"
Minister Liu seemed to realize that he had let something slip and quickly changed his words, "I, I don't know, I'm just guessing! Don't listen to my nonsense!"
"Lord Liu, I'm helping you." Gu Junze narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Ministry of Works has caused such a big mess, the Emperor must give an explanation. Do you really think that Minister Su will abandon the car to save the king?"
Minister Liu was still struggling, his voice tinged with hope, "Minister Su, he won't give me up. How much silver have I given him over the years?"
"He has been there all the way for me to this position, and he won't just abandon me."
Chu Ruohan then realized that his official position was bought...
