Upon hearing Zhou Mu’s words, Gu Changsheng, with a face akin to a divine residence, imdiately displayed a comforting smile, radiating endless charm in an instant.
Raising his hand, he gently ruffled Gu Changsheng’s little head and opened his mouth to say, "This is the Changsheng I know, my beloved, who is courageous in adversity and composed in danger!"
"That’s right!" Gu Changsheng replied, his face even more dazzling with pride, as he disengaged from his evildoer’s embrace, reaching out to collect the two pieces of the geomancy map fragnts on the table. He rolled them up and handed them to his evildoer, "Quickly, put them away; they are the markers for our journey ahead. We put in so much effort to collect these two pieces, even though they’re fragnted, we can’t afford to lose them."
"Okay." Zhou Mu nodded and carefully placed the rolled-up leather geomancy map close to himself.
"Phew!" Gu Changsheng let out a long breath upon seeing this, saying, "The geomancy map fragnts of the Divine Demise Land are in our hands, obtaining the Breath Seeking Pearl ans we might track down the whereabouts of Fufeng Tianlan, which is indeed a pleasant surprise. Besides, you also bought so many miscellaneous items; this trip to the Dark Market Auction House has truly been fruitful for us!"
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes thinking about the beauty-preserving pearls and other things his evildoer had bought.
We’re clearly traveling, right?
We’re not on a leisurely tour, so is it really good to bring so many things that we won’t use?
"We’ve been on the road for days, and I’ve noticed you looking more worn out..." Zhou Mu couldn’t help but say with a bit of concern.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise a hand to her cheek, touching it as her skin still glead like before, and imdiately she pouted, "What are you talking about? Who looks worn out? Haven’t you seen I’m still full of vitality?"
After all, she is a doctor herself, okay? Though she’s never been very attentive to grooming, this journey has been quite comfortable, not to ntion she knows at least eighty ancient formulas for skin care!
With her skin so delicate and flawless, calling it worn out?
Her evildoer’s judgnt is really questionable!
This was clearly him finding excuses for his own squandering and then pushing the bla onto her!
Humph!
So sly!
"Let’s go. Sect Leader Tian shouldn’t be alard outside, and we’ve achieved our goal. Considering the delay, it’s already midnight. If we don’t return to the inn, my old dad will surely lose his temper!" Gu Changsheng calculated the ti secretly and said.
Zhou Mu naturally did not object. In fact, he was accustod to being by Gu Changsheng’s side, watching her every move. If it wasn’t necessary, he maintained his habit of being reticent and aloof.
Of course, teasing Gu Changsheng was an exception!
As the two walked out of the room, the entanglent between Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng finally ended. To what extent Yan Qingcheng appeased the furious Wang Buer, though Gu Changsheng was curious, realizing her evildoer was beside her, she refrained from asking.
No way she could ask!
What if sothing unsuitable for children or even for adults erged from the question, what would happen?
After all, these two in front are vivid examples of full-grown n!
Not normals, right?
"Master, son-in-law, are you leaving already?" Wang Buer imdiately approached upon seeing Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu co out and asked.
"Yes, aren’t we leaving, unless you’d like to say otherwise?" Gu Changsheng glanced at him and said irritably.
"Hehe..." Wang Buer, hearing this, looked a bit awkward but perseveringly said, "Master, if you wish to stay, I couldn’t possibly ask you to leave, could I?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately glared at him, "Try driving away then?"
"I wouldn’t dare! I was just joking!" Wang Buer waved his hand quickly, "If the master and son-in-law wish to leave, how could I stop you? I’m not even close to sending you off properly! It’s just..."
At this point, Wang Buer hesitated, rubbing his hands with a sowhat conflicted expression.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes and asked, "Just what is it?"
She had caused such a ss at the Dark Market, she certainly wouldn’t be self-centered to think Wang Buer would wish for her to stay here!
He’s probably hoping they’ll leave as soon as possible!
Does he really think she doesn’t know his little sche?
"It’s just... it’s just..." Wang Buer’s hand-rubbing grew faster, his face increasingly conflicted.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s face also grew unpleasant as she couldn’t help but point at Wang Buer, "You are the steward of the Hidden Guard Hall; behaving like a coy daughter, who is that for? I’m telling you, among the Hidden Guards of the Dark Market, why none is present here, it’s all because of your unaccountable leadership! Speak quickly, fart quickly, my family mber needs to check my progress! If I’m late, scoldings await, will you cover for ?"
"This! I wouldn’t dare!" Wang Buer certainly knew who his master’s check-in target was. It was said that his master feared nothing, yet was particularly filial, obedient to The Lord, like a quintessential good daughter!
Of course, only seemingly, not in reality!
Soone like his master, being a demure lady would be a joke!
"Snap!"
As Wang Buer was daydreaming, a small hand slapped down onto his head, misplacing the little waiter’s bun on his head.
"Always dressing pure as a waiter, do you really think you’re a shop assistant? Spit it out quickly!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but urge again, looking at Wang Buer’s antics.
"Yes! Yes! I will speak!" Wang Buer, hearing this, suddenly regained his senses, adjusting his hair bun, thickening his face, bravely approaching with a grin, "Master, son-in-law, since you’re leaving, isn’t it ti to settle the items son-in-law bid for at the auction?"
Wang Buer said this, extending a hand towards Zhou Mu, looking entirely like a debt collector...
Gu Changsheng was stunned for a mont!
This Wang Buer really has so nerve!
Even debt collection could be aid at her family’s evildoer. Does he have any sense of being a subordinate?
The Dowager Empress Xiao, how did she hand-raise such a exemplary Hidden Guard? How can such a clueless Hidden Guard beco a city Steward? Is Dowager Empress Xiao sure she’s not joking?
Zhou Mu looked down at the hand Wang Buer stretched out towards him, his face like a divine being, impassive, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved. He tilted his head to glance at Gu Changsheng and said nonchalantly, "The money in our house is always managed by your master, because she says that n beco bad when they have money, so if you want to collect a debt, go to your master!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Buer’s extended hand suddenly changed direction to Gu Changsheng.
And Gu Changsheng, upon hearing her evildoer’s words, was as if struck by lightning, stunned!
"When... when did I ever say sothing like that?" Her charming little face froze slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Gu Changsheng only managed to speak after a while, looking at her own evildoer.
Had she ever said such a blunt truth?
Did she?
When her family’s evildoer got engaged, he had already given her the key to the treasury as a betrothal gift. She never had the chance to say such a thing, right?
This is slander!
This is defamation!
It makes her look like a housekeeper!
How could she be like this!
When had she ever managed her family evildoer’s money? Although she had the key to the treasury, the day after the engagent, they set off on a journey to the Southern Border. Even if she wanted to, she didn’t have the chance, did she?
This is pure defamation!
Especially since she never said such things to her evildoer!
"You did say it!" Zhou Mu looked at his little woman, nodded seriously, and continued, "When you took Xiao Gu Ze’s New Year’s money, that’s what you said. He even complained to afterwards..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face turned dark...
When she confiscated the little guy’s New Year’s money, did she say such a thing?
Did she?
It seems... she really did!
"Master, it’s not that I’m being nosy, but you really shouldn’t do this. At least son-in-law is the dignified Crown Prince of Great Zhou, how can you manage him so strictly? If this were common households, it might be tolerable, but given your unusual status, isn’t it?" Wang Buer, who was stretching out his hand to collect debt, couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He looked at his own son-in-law with eyes of sympathy.
Poor thing, finding such a capable wife, what’s so good about that?
Look how bullied he is, can’t even pay for an item.
Alas!
His own son-in-law, truly pitiful!
Turned out to be henpecked!
"I manage him... I manage him..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt like crying but had no tears.
This kind of accusation against her is too wrongful!
Looking at Wang Buer’s accusatory face, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but resentfully turn and look at her own evildoer, and sure enough, she saw a face as beautiful as a blossom but with a smugly mischievous smile!
Deliberate!
Her family evildoer did it on purpose!
Deliberately putting on such a poor pitiful act outside to gain sympathy!
Is this all about portraying her as a domineering wife?
Is he bored?
Crafty sly person!
Her family evildoer is indeed a sly, crafty person!
She always said, the evildoer who seduced her is a cunning old fox, see how righteously he is setting this trap for her!
And clueless Wang Buer, how earnestly he believes it!
Simply enraging her to no end!
"You just want silver, right? Silver! Here! Take it!" The more Gu Changsheng looked at Wang Buer, the angrier she got. She reached into her bosom, pulled out a purse, and shoved it into Wang Buer’s arms, not forgetting to explain, "People say you’re stupid, and you’re really stupid. Let tell you, I have never managed his silver, that’s the gospel truth!"
Poor thing, she’d rather be a jealous wife than a domineering one!
