The medicine "Sea Snake" gave Gu Xiwan had a strong hypnotic effect. Gu Xiwan was still drowsy. After lunch, she returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.
He actually slept until the next morning and didn't wake up until the next morning.
After Gu Xiwan washed up, she just walked up the spiral staircase to the first floor. Butler Cheng, who had been waiting at the top of the stairs, came up to her.
"Young Madam, please come with me."
Butler Cheng has always been kind and kind.
But Gu Xiwan felt that Butler Cheng was particularly serious today.
She had a premonition that something big had happened, so she followed Butler Cheng towards the entrance of the hall without hesitation.
As soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I saw two people covered in blood kneeling in the yard.
The faces of these two people were covered with scars, but Gu Xiwan recognized them at a glance. One of them was the "sea snake" who tried to humiliate and then kill her yesterday.
Chu Lingjue stood under the hibiscus tree not far away, a tall and majestic tree with jade trees facing the wind.
"Madam, please spare my life!"
Seeing Gu Xiwan, the "sea snake" stumbled over and kowtowed at Gu Xiwan's feet.
"Young Madam, I was wrong! I no longer dare to covet your beauty, and I no longer dare to be so bold as to have evil thoughts towards you. Mr. Chu said that as long as you promise to let me go, he will spare me... …
Madam, my life is in your hands. Please give me a way to survive for the sake of our acquaintance! "
The other man was "Sea Snake"'s helper. He also knelt at Gu Xiwan's feet, begging for mercy.
There was no sympathy on Gu Xiwan's pretty face, and there was only sarcasm in her clear eyes.
"Yesterday I reminded you that I am the wife of the eldest son of the Chu family. You said that the one you tied up was the wife of the eldest son of the Chu family. You became so fast. Now you are scared. You respectfully called me madam."
"I……"
"Sea Snake" was speechless for a moment, and the next second, he cried shamelessly again,
"Young madam, I was also blinded by lard for a while. It was your sister Gu Baixue! She knew that I had always had evil thoughts about you. She said that she would provide me with an opportunity to satisfy my evil thoughts towards you and give me a thousand dollars. Wan, it's her...
Let me pretend to be a taxi driver, knock you out, and take you to that abandoned warehouse...it was all her idea!
Madam, your sister is the initiator of this plot against you. She is the one who should be revenged by Mr. Chu the most. I am just a pawn used by her. I beg you, please let me go! "
With that said, he rushed forward and wanted to hug Gu Xiwan's legs.
However, before his hands touched Gu Xiwan's clothes, Butler Cheng kicked him to the ground.
"How presumptuous! Is the young lady something you can touch with your dirty hands?"
Because he was kicked in the chest, "Sea Snake" lay on his back on the ground, unable to speak for a while.
Another man was kneeling on the ground with his head drooped, too frightened to speak.
Gu Xiwan ignored the two men and walked straight to Chu Lingjue.
Chu Lingjue was cold and majestic, and his eyes were particularly cold and deep.
In the past, Gu Xiwan never dared to look directly into his eyes.
However, the fact that Chu Lingjue and Gu Baixue went to "check out a room" at night seemed to have a poisonous thorn in Gu Xiwan's heart, causing her to suffocate in pain whenever she thought about it. At the same time, she was never willing to give up showing her dignity in front of him again. A hint of timidity...
She raised her little face and looked at him bravely,
"Mr. Chu, what do you want to do with these two men?"
Chu Lingjue's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, like an ink painting.
Gu Xiwan not only called him "Mr. Chu" in a distant manner, but also used the honorific title "you", which made him indescribably uncomfortable.
He opened his white teeth and thin lips without leaving any trace,
“If you refuse to forgive them, I will torture them until life is worse than death;
They have seen my true face. Even if you are willing to forgive them, I will ask the butler to blind their eyes, cut out their tongues, and then send them to prison. "
Gu Xiwan shuddered.
But she didn't show any fear, and her surface remained as cool as water.
"So, what about Gu Baixue? Even the 'Sea Snake' said that the person who deserves retribution the most is Gu Baixue. How do you plan to deal with her?"
There was no expression on Chu Lingjue's extremely handsome face.
"I can't be as cruel and ruthless to Bai Xue as I was to the two murderers."
Gu Xiwan's heart suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed by the tip of a knife. It hurt so much that even her fingertips were trembling.
Strangely, what made her miserable was not that Chu Lingjue protected Gu Baixue, but that Chu Lingjue used the name "Baixue" when mentioning Gu Baixue.
She and Chu Lingjue have been married for three days, and Chu Lingjue has never called her with such affectionate names as "Xi Wan", "Wan Wan", and "Wan'er"...
"Ah."
Gu Xiwan actually laughed out loud. There was only sarcasm in her eyes.
"The person who hurt your wife is someone who has nothing to do with you, so you will be cold and ruthless. If the person who hurt your wife is the woman you love, you will not be willing to kill her.
What principles come first? Why does it mean that someone insulting your wife is an insult to your dignity? How can your wife and your dignity be as important as the woman you love? "
Chu Lingjue was not angry at all, but the corners of his perfectly curved mouth were slightly raised.
"So, you're jealous?"
Meeting his playful eyes, Gu Xiwan felt even more heartbroken. Her eyes became more sarcastic.
"Mr. Chu, please don't be too narcissistic. I told you that you are not my type. How can I be jealous of someone I don't like?"
The curve at the corner of Chu Lingjue's mouth froze instantly.
Gu Xiwan seemed to look away from his face indifferently and turned away calmly.
The moment she turned her back to him, she could no longer hide it, and tears filled her eyes.
Gu Xiwan had already decided to avenge herself.
She never expected Chu Lingjue to help her.
She had also thought that if Chu Lingjue found out the truth, Chu Lingjue would definitely favor Gu Baixue.
Gu Xiwan thought she didn't care at all, but when this moment came, she was still confused uncontrollably...
Although it was a little early to go to work, Gu Xiwan really didn't want to see Chu Lingjue again.
Instead of going back indoors, he quickened his pace and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Butler Cheng came to Chu Lingjue and sighed softly,
"Master, why don't you explain to the young madam?"
Chu Lingjue stared at Gu Xiwan's figure with a worried look on his face.
"Explain what?!"
Butler Cheng shuddered at Chu Lingjue's tone.
"Explain that you are being lenient with Gu Baixue because Gu Baixue saved you, and even if Gu Baixue saved you, you will make her pay the price..."
Chu Lingjue sneered,
"Didn't you hear her say she didn't like me? Why should I explain to someone who doesn't like me?"
this……
Butler Cheng was confused.
Is the young master acting like a child?
The young master who has always been upright and prudent actually sometimes behaves like a child?
According to Cheng Guanjian’s experience, men in love are usually the most likely to behave uncharacteristically and behave like children.
Could it be that the young master is in love? !
