Shen Ningsi paused, "General Gu, may I ask if the people in your army have always been so casual about trivial matters?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "How can you interfere so casually in other people's family affairs?"
Gu Hong finally knew what Shen Ningsi was dissatisfied with.
He treated Shen Ningsi as his wife, but Shen Ningsi had no idea of his identity. Then some of the things he did...
Of course it's too much.
Gu Hong thought about it and felt that he seemed to be a little too much. Especially since Shen Ningsi was wholeheartedly determined to be a widow for him, it was natural for her to keep a certain distance from men.
How could Shen Ningsi possibly want to know everything when he didn't know his own identity?
He coughed lightly and said, "I just care about you. I don't have any bad intentions. I just want you to live a better life."
Gu Shacai never obeyed anyone's orders in the army. When did he ever bow his head?
San Yazi immediately turned his head away when he saw Gu Hong like this. Now the general was forced to obey. If he came to his senses and remembered that he had seen him in this state, who knows what he would say!
"Life is getting better and better?"
Shen Ningsi asked incredulously, "General Gu, a man of integrity and strength, just ran into my house like this. Even if you have an excuse, what can you do? There will be gossip from all the aunts and uncles. How can you live a good life like this?"
Shen Ningsi really didn't care about the insults that accused her of being promiscuous, but that didn't mean she was willing to let her children endure the same.
Gu Xiuwu was a man who could not hide his thoughts. Today, Gu Hong drove Yu Xiucai and Zhang the matchmaker out of the house. He went out to fetch some water and came back with a gloomy face.
Without having to guess, Shen Ningsi knew that he had heard what those people outside said again!
"I won't say anything about these idle rumors. Anyway, my whole family is moving out of Wanning Village. But what did General Gu mean by that just now?"
Shen Ningsi's complexion was as dark as ink.
"Yun'er is young. As long as she calls me mother, she will naturally treat me as her real mother. How can you say in front of her that I don't truly love her?"
As Shen Ningsi spoke, the fingers placed at his sides trembled constantly.
Although Yun'er is young, she is extremely sensible and sensitive. Just now, when she was in Shen Ningsi's arms, she could clearly feel that Yun'er's body was completely stiff.
When Fan Xing saw the tense situation between the couple, he quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Madam Gu, calm down, calm down. General Gu is a warrior, so it's inevitable that he sometimes says something wrong. He's a grown man, and his thoughts are not as meticulous as a woman's."
It was also the first time that Fan Xing dared to say something bad about Gu Hong in front of him, and he was not worried about being retaliated by Gu Shacai, but he did not feel relieved either.
He felt a headache now. "Mrs. Gu, you said Yun'er trusts you so much, can't you just coax her a little later? Children are so easy to comfort. Solving the problem is better than anything else. It's useless to get angry at General Gu now, right?"
These words finally calmed Shen Ningsi down.
The anger on the woman's face dissipated little by little, but her cold and expressionless face proved that Shen Ningsi now completely hated Gu Hong.
"Master Fan is right. Even if I can talk to him like a madman, I can't change General Gu's ways. Instead of hoping to get him to behave in a more controlled way, I should just try to comfort the child and resolve the problems he's created."
Shen Ningsi's words were full of sarcasm. "As long as General Gu doesn't interfere in our family's affairs in the future and doesn't appear in front of Yun'er again, I won't care about what happened today."
Shen Ningsi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and for the first time she felt helpless.
Even if she could research new crops and cook delicious meals, what good would it do? In front of a man like Gu Sanshui who held military power and had made great military achievements, she would still be powerless.
Gu Hong looked at Shen Ningsi's self-deprecating smile and felt a panic in his heart, "Shen Ningsi!"
Shen Ningsi didn't turn around, she had her back to Gu Hong, her voice light and airy.
"General Gu, do you have any other instructions? If you say so, I will spare no effort to help you."
Gu Hong gritted his teeth and strode directly to stand in front of Shen Ningsi.
"I don't have any orders, and don't talk to me like that."
Gu Hong had never coaxed a woman, and what he said was always obeyed unconditionally by others. But Shen Ningsi was different.
He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, "Fuck you, how come you're even more difficult to deal with than those troublemakers!"
When men have disagreements, most issues can be resolved by fighting.
But Shen Ningsi is not a man, she is an extremely fragile woman. Shen Ningsi will not be like those men who say whatever they want. Shen Ningsi is just a soft knife grinding flesh.
These words made Gu Hong feel uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to solve the problem.
"General Gu, I don't think I've made any excessive demands. What's the problem?"
Shen Ningsi raised her clear eyes and said, "Whether it was General Gu who interfered in Zhang Matchmaker's affairs or confronted Master Fan in my house, I didn't say a word. But this time, you tried to sow discord between me and Yun'er, which has touched my bottom line."
Shen Ningsi took a step sideways and said, "Please let me pass, General Gu."
Gu Hong couldn't hold back any longer when he saw Shen Ningsi's stubborn attitude. He grabbed Shen Ningsi's wrist and said, "Do you know that cutting meat with a slow knife is the most torturous thing?"
Ana Shen shook off the man’s hand with force.
She took a step back, her eyes blazing, "General Gu! Respect yourself!"
She rubbed her wrist hard, which had suddenly tightened, and lifted her sleeve to take a look. She saw that there was now a circle of obvious bruises on her originally small and white wrist.
It looks shocking!
Shen Ningsi is not afraid of pain, but she is afraid of entanglement.
"General Gu, I want to be a widow to Gu Hong!"
Gu Hong couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this, "You said you want to be a widow to Gu Hong, at least you should remember what Gu Hong looks like!"
Speaking of this, Gu Hong felt upset. After so long, his wife still couldn't recognize him.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just using the name Gu Hong to protect yourself temporarily. But, Gu, do you really think that the name Gu Hong can stop everyone from approaching you?"
The moment these words fell, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard gate.
"Fuck it! I can't hold it in any longer, brothers, charge!"
"What the hell is this Gu Sanshui?"
Ana Shen didn’t react.
The place where they lived was extremely remote, and usually no human voices could be heard. This was the first time Shen Ningsi had heard so many mixed voices.
There was a loud "bang!" and the golden nanmu door that the former village chief had spent a lot of money to buy fell to the ground in an instant.
A group of pale and skinny villagers rushed in.
The various sickles and rakes in their hands sparkled in the sunlight, dazzling Shen Ningsi's eyes and finally bringing him back to his senses.
"What are you doing!"
Shen Ningsi stood in front of Gu Sanshui without hesitation, "Put these things down immediately! Are you trying to rebel? This is an official appointed by the imperial court!"
Shen Ning thought this was all a subconscious reaction.
The lives of all the people in Wanning Village cannot be paid for a general like Gu Sanshui who commands a large army!
