Chapter 629 Now, it’s my husband’s turn
Gu Junze snorted coldly, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"You knew what she was thinking, yet you kept her around on purpose."
"Why, are you thinking that the two of us aren't lively enough, and you have to add someone else to get in the way?"
"It seems quite lively to me." Chu Ruohan blinked innocently and took a sip of tea.
"A hero rescues a beautiful woman, and the woman has no way to repay him, so she can only pledge her love to him. This is the most classic scene in the storybook."
She put down her teacup and looked at him with a smile.
"As a wife, I can't be so rude and not fulfill her wish, can I?"
"you!"
Gu Junze was so angry at her words that his temples were throbbing.
He stood up suddenly, stretched out his long arms, picked up Chu Ruohan who was still sitting on the chair, and walked to the bed in a few steps.
He threw her onto the soft bed, then pressed forward, trapping her firmly beneath him. He gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear, "I think you're itching for trouble."
"Do you think I've been too indulgent these days? I'm your husband, after all."
"You are alone..."
The warm breath sprayed on her earlobe, and Chu Ruohan shrank her neck because of the itch, and laughed in his arms.
"Oh, stop it." She reached out and pushed his solid chest. "The girl is still next door. You're such a hero, you have to leave her some thoughts, right?"
"I just want to leave you with a memory." Gu Junze lowered his head and bit her lips as a punishment.
Just when the two of them were fighting until their breathing became a little unstable, Liu Yingying's timid voice was heard outside the door.
"My benefactor, my lady...are you here?"
"I...I saw there were still some ingredients in the kitchen, so I took the initiative and stewed some soup, hoping to bring it to you two to warm you up."
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Ruohan's eyes, and she pushed the man on her body, signaling him to get up.
Gu Junze sat up reluctantly, his face still looking ugly.
Chu Ruohan straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and said loudly, "It's Yingying. Come in. The door is not locked."
The door was pushed open, and Liu Yingying, wearing a clean dress, walked in holding a soup bowl.
She seemed to have been reborn. Although her clothes were made of ordinary material, after washing away the dirt on her face, she was actually a beautiful lady with delicate features.
She noticed an ambiguous atmosphere in the room, especially the blush on Chu Ruohan's face. Her cheeks flushed, and then she quickly lowered her head and put the soup bowl on the table.
"I'm not very good with my hands, and I don't know if it will suit your majesty's and your wife's tastes."
"That's thoughtful." Chu Ruohan walked over, took the spoon, and stirred it in the soup bowl.
She didn't drink it, but just put the spoon to her nose and sniffed it gently.
Then, she suddenly smiled.
That smile didn't reach his eyes, and even had a hint of coldness in it.
"Is there albizzia julibrissin in this soup?"
"Girl, you are so thoughtful."
When Liu Yingying heard the three words "Albizia Julibrissin", her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Her hands holding the tray began to tremble uncontrollably, and the soup bowl and tray collided with a crisp "clang" sound.
Gu Junze, who had been watching coldly, suddenly looked fierce.
A murderous aura that seemed tangible instantly enveloped the entire room.
He had long noticed the timing of this woman's appearance, which was too coincidental. He just wanted to see what Chu Ruohan was up to, so he kept it to himself.
I didn't expect the other party's methods to be so despicable.
Chu Ruohan reached out and gently pressed Gu Junze's hand on the table, signaling him to calm down.
Her gaze was still on the trembling Liu Yingying, and her tone was terrifyingly calm.
"Go ahead."
"Who sent you?"
"Are you trying to use this despicable method to alienate us as a couple, or are you trying to take our lives?"
Chu Ruohan's voice was not loud, but it was like an ice-cold knife, cutting through Liu Yingying's last disguise.
Her psychological defenses completely collapsed, and she fell to her knees with a plop, tears mixed with fear, making her sob uncontrollably.
"Madam, please spare me! Benefactor, please spare me!"
She kowtowed and told him everything.
It turned out that she was not the daughter of a merchant family that had fallen on hard times.
Her father was once a director of the Ministry of Revenue. Not long ago, he was dismissed from his post and imprisoned because the new runner-up Gu Lu found out that his accounts were in deficit and he had embezzled a huge amount of money.
Her family property was confiscated, and she and her younger brother were left on the streets.
Just when she was at her wit's end, her father's former political enemy found her.
The other party captured her brother and used him as a threat to force her to come and set up this trap.
"They...they said that the Duke of Zhenguo cared about his wife the most and valued his reputation the most," Liu Yingying cried. "They told me...told me to deliberately get close to the benefactor and then drugged the soup."
"This drug won't kill you, it will just...it will just make you infatuated."
"Once you and...I become husband and wife, they will spread the news, saying that you are obsessed with beauty and favor your concubine over your wife."
"If you...if you force me to death again, you'll throw dirty water on my wife, saying that you're jealous and can't tolerate an innocent maid..."
After hearing this, the murderous intent in Gu Junze's eyes almost solidified into reality.
Good, that’s very good.
It had only been a short time since he left the capital, and these scoundrels had become so bold.
He slowly stood up and walked towards Liu Yingying step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on the drumbeat of death.
Liu Yingying was so frightened that her whole body went limp. She even forgot to cry and was left with only unconscious trembling.
"People like you don't deserve to live." There was no warmth in Gu Junze's voice.
Just as he was about to get rid of the chess piece, Chu Ruohan grabbed his hand.
She is calmer than him.
She looked at the pathetic and hateful woman on the ground and sighed softly.
"I can let you go, or I can help you rescue your brother from those people."
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yingying left the room in a daze.
Only the couple were left in the room.
The bowl of soup with added ingredients was still quietly placed on the table.
Gu Junze looked at Chu Ruohan, who had a calm expression as if nothing had happened, and felt both love and anger in his heart.
His wife is good in every way, except that sometimes she is too patient and likes to see him get humiliated.
Without saying a word, he picked her up again and strode towards the bed.
"Hey! You..."
Before Chu Ruohan could finish her words, she was thrown into the soft bedding.
The tall figure of the man loomed over them, his voice hoarse and with a hint of dangerous sharpness.
"Now, no one will bother you."
"Madam, weren't you having a lot of fun just now? Isn't it fun to watch your husband being schemed against?"
He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Now, it's my husband's turn."
Chu Ruohan's heart trembled at the fire in his eyes. She screamed and pounded his chest.
"You...you're still getting excited! I was just using your trick to help you test her!"
"I know." Gu Junze lowered his head and kissed her lips, swallowing all her protests, his voice coming out unclearly.
"So, that's a reward."
The room is charming, with red waves rolling.
The curtains fell, blocking out the spring light in the room.
