Gu Hong saw Shen Ningsi lowering his head and raised his long eyebrows slightly.
"What? Too excited?"
In fact, Gu Hong had already been unable to hold back. At first, he thought that it wouldn't take Shen Ningsi long to recognize him.
But as time went on, Gu Hong found that Shen Ningsi was becoming more and more attractive to him.
He never knew that there was a woman in this world who was as generous and confident as Shen Ningsi. And coincidentally, such a Shen Ningsi took him to heart.
"Gu...Gu Hong?"
"right."
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shen Ningsi looked at the man with a face full of high spirits, and felt as if the heart under the chest was being clenched.
Something bad has happened!
These are the only three words lingering in Shen Ningsi's mind.
She forced a smile and said, "Since you're already back, why don't you just reveal your identity?"
Shen Ningsi couldn't help feeling a little resentful. If Gu Hong had just said her name directly, she wouldn't have said so much nonsense in order to dispel other people's thoughts.
It's okay now.
The words he said in the past cannot be taken back. Gu Hong is probably thinking in his heart that he is just a young wife who is devoted to him.
Gu Hong is a military general, but that doesn't mean he is an insensitive person.
He heard the displeasure in Shen Ningsi's words, and his face darkened instantly. "If I had revealed my identity, how could I have seen so many interesting things?"
Gu Hong's eyes were sinister. "You are surrounded by a lot of messed up people."
Shen Ningsi’s face darkened instantly.
But everyone was now immersed in the shocking news that General Gu was Gu Hong, and did not notice Shen Ningsi's dark expression at all.
"Brother Hong?" someone asked tremblingly, "How did you suddenly become such a high-ranking official?"
No one thought Gu Hong could survive.
That was a bloody battlefield! But not only did Gu Hong survive, he even became such a high-ranking official.
They looked at Gu Hong's outline carefully and felt that Gu Hong's current changes had reached an unimaginable level.
The man's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and every move he made was filled with awe. If Gu Hong hadn't changed so much, the villagers wouldn't have been able to recognize him at all.
"This is really bad. Brother Hong came back to look for his wife, but we bastards rushed in to mess things up."
Someone gasped, "Gu Hong is such a high-ranking official now, he won't cause us trouble again later!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Hong simply said calmly, "You were simply deceived by Yu Xiucai. I won't put the blame on you."
After hearing this, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, but Yu Xiucai felt as if he had fallen into hell.
He's the only one Gu Hong wants to settle accounts with! If he doesn't run away now, when will he?!
Seeing Yu Xiucai's actions out of the corner of his eye, Gu Hong just laughed sarcastically and waved his hand.
A flash of cold light passed by, and a long knife pierced straight into Yu Xiucai's feet, piercing through the piece of cloth.
"Want to run?" Gu Hong approached with a sneer.
He looked at Yu Xiucai's pale face and just felt funny. "Why? It's completely different from what you imagined, right?"
"Do you think that if you call all the villagers here and see how I feel about Gu, they will force Gu to be with you?"
Gu Hong completely understood Yu Xiucai's thoughts, "After all, this is the only way to preserve the Gu family, right?"
"Gu... General Gu, you're really overthinking it." Yu Xiucai's voice trembled. "I just couldn't guarantee that you could leave alive after seeing you and Madam Gu together, so I called so many people over to give you courage."
Just now he was calling her Madam Shen, but now he was just a well-behaved Madam Gu. This shows how cowardly Yu Xiucai was.
Gu Hong felt that it was a blasphemy to Shen Ningsi that she was targeted by such trash.
Too lazy to see this person again, Gu Hong kicked him directly and said, "Get away!"
He cursed, “If I weren’t Gu Hong himself, Shen Ningsi would be framed by you like this, and I’m afraid that the credit for saving the villagers would be ignored, right?”
The people in Wanning Village are extremely traditional. Shen Ningsi, a widow, is entangled with others, and she will definitely suffer a lot of gossip in the future.
Gu Xiuwen's face darkened as he watched this farce unfold. He only curled his lips slightly upon hearing this. "So General Gu knows how important reputation is to a woman. He knows that if my mother gets caught up in gossip again, her life in Wanning Village will only get worse than before."
Gu Hong was already in a bad mood, and he felt even more anxious after hearing this.
He glared at Gu Xiuwen, "Is this the time to talk about these things? Besides, I'm her husband, isn't it perfectly normal for me to be close to him?"
Didn't he make the villagers think that he and Shen Ningsi were a little ambiguous when he didn't reveal his identity at first? Now that his identity is revealed, who dares to say anything!
Now the whole family is united against the outside world!
Gu Xiuwen obviously understood this as well; he just couldn't help himself. Upon hearing this, he turned his head away.
Gu Hong no longer had the patience to argue with Yu Xiucai.
He saw Shen Ningsi follow Gu Xiuwen into the house from the corner of his eye, and immediately waved his hand, "Alright, I've already exposed this thief's true face to you. Believe it or not is your business. The only thing is that how I get along with Gu is a matter between us husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Yu Xiucai has been cheating and eating and drinking for years. I will not interfere with your decision on whether to punish him or not. Just don't bring this person's affairs to my attention in the future."
Now no one wants to deal with Yu Xiucai anymore. They are all more curious about Gu Hong.
"General Gu, please don't leave. We are all from the same village. Please tell us how you worked your way up to the position of general."
"General Gu, you have reached such a high position now, how could you not forget an ordinary woman?"
Gu Hong was about to follow the family back to the house, but upon hearing this, he turned back with a cold look, "Mrs. Gu is no ordinary woman. During my absence, she has taken excellent care of the household. She even gave birth to twins for me, a boy and a girl. She even made great contributions in dealing with the famine in Wanning Village."
He didn't know when it started, but he couldn't stand hearing others say anything bad about Shen Ningsi.
There was tenderness in Gu Hong's eyes that he himself had not noticed.
Shen Ningsi was completely different from what he remembered, and she was deeply in love with him. Gu Hong felt that this was a woman who could not be faulted in any aspect.
