Her fingertips were slightly curled. To this day, she doesn't know how to face Jiang Yi, because she remembers Jiang Yi's determination when she jumped from the tall building.

"Take it down first."

Tan Yun: "Yes."

When Gu Huaizhi came back, it was already midnight. Ruan Zhen had already rested.

He did indeed enter the palace, but when he came back so late, he actually went to see Mu Youde. He went to a private room on the third floor of a well-hidden restaurant in Lin'an City.

It was already dark when he left the palace. When he went to the restaurant, Mu Youde had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Huaizhi didn't apologize at all. His eyes turned to him calmly, and finally landed on the table of food that had been cold and untouched.

He walked in slowly, sat down on one side, found a comfortable position, and leaned back.

It seemed that the Mu family knew Ruan Zhen's identity.

Then, the man chuckled lightly, his smile not reaching his eyes: "General Mu went to such trouble to invite me, what do you mean?"

He obviously asked knowingly.

Mu Youde's eyes fell on Gu Huaizhi inch by inch. The man in front of him was someone he always valued. He had never thought that he would have such a connection with him.

He asked in a calm voice, with a hoarse tone: "She must be frightened by what happened today."

Gu Huaizhi didn't bother to beat around the bush and didn't give him any good looks.

He has always been a man of his own accord.

He said calmly: "Compared to being lost in the forest, this is really nothing. General Mu doesn't need to worry."

Mu Youde always hid his emotions very well. He opened and closed his lips dozens of times, but he didn't know what to say.

Gu Huaizhi held a white jade cup in his well-jointed hands. The aroma of the wine was extremely strong, and it was a fine wine. He rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingertips, touching its texture, but he had no intention of drinking it.

"I really don't know why you called me here today. Ziyuan doesn't think there is anything left to talk about between the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion."

His tone was cool: "If nothing happens, I should go back."

"Gu Huaizhi." He said urgently.

Mu Youde slowly handed something over: "This bracelet was left by my mother. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Mu family. The old lady cherished it the most when she was alive. She said that on the day of Jiao Jiao's wedding, she must wear it with her own hands.

, send her to the sedan chair."

"The old lady loves her. This is the only thing left for her. Whether you keep it or not, I won't force you."

Gu Huaizhi didn't even look at the box on the table.

He just gave a meaningful sneer.

"I thought General Mu wanted to lend me a hand to get my wife's forgiveness."

Mu Youde's eyes darkened and he was very calm: "You handled the Fan family's affairs simply, and you also handled the Fanshan Temple matter properly. Let's not talk about the future. Today she was wronged at the house of the Minister of Justice, you have to

As soon as I learned the news, I found Mr. Hu and punished him for improper control."

Mr. Hu is so frightened that the entire Hu family will not have an easy time.

There is nothing the General's Mansion can do for Ruan Zhen.

And Gu Huaizhi didn't give him the slightest chance.

Gu Huaizhi stood up, obviously not wanting to talk nonsense anymore, and strode out.

Mu Youde stopped the person without making a sound.

But after a while, the man came back and forth, and took the box over with a cold face.

Just like that, Mu Youde heard himself asking to that tall and tall back, his fingertips trembling: "If it were you, what would you have chosen back then?"

No one knew exactly what he was asking.

Gu Huaizhi's footsteps did not stop. The moment he stepped across the threshold, he left behind a sentence that was filled with indifference, alienation and sweeping determination.

"The worst that can happen is that the fish will die and the net will be broken."

He couldn't care too much. But even if he knew that there was a cliff ahead, he would not leave anyone behind.

Till death.

After returning to the house, he went to the bathroom. After washing up and calming down, he entered the inner room with steady steps. There was only one lamp lit in the room, which was weak and swaying. The breeze came in and blew the bed curtains lightly.

move.

Gu Huaizhi didn't see clearly, but he vaguely saw the bulge in the bed. He stepped forward slowly and lifted a corner of the bed curtain.

The woman's breathing was shallow, and her body had a faint fragrance. Under the dim light, only her hibiscus face with red lips and white teeth could be seen.

His fingertips moved slightly, and he reached out to move away the strand of black hair covering his cheek. He looked more carefully. As soon as his hand reached mid-air, it was held by the woman's hand.

Ruan Zhen raised her eyelids, her eyes clear, and she looked intently at Gu Huaizhi, who was half attached to her body.

He squinted his eyes, and a soft color flashed in his eyes: "Aren't you asleep?"

She moved her lips: "I've slept enough during the day."

After Gu Huaizhi turned off the light, he lay down on one side. Ruan Zhen leaned over naturally and held him in his arms.

"Husband."

Her soft voice made Gu Huaizhi's tiredness dissipate a little.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are those murders difficult?"

Gu Huaizhi rubbed her waist repeatedly, and through the thin underwear, he could feel the delicate touch.

"Wu Xuchen can handle it."

Ruan Zhen smiled and said realistically: "Master Wu is indeed capable."

Gu Huaizhi paused with his fingertips.

His tone also became a little lighter: "Really?"

"Yes, when we were still at the summer resort, Ah Chu also mentioned a few things that Mr. Wu had done, which shows that he is brave and resourceful. Among the young masters in Lin'an, he is also outstanding in appearance and has never married a wife.

, I don’t know which girl from any family can get this kind of marriage.”

Gu Huaizhi didn't like to hear this.

Unfortunately, after turning off the lights, Ruan Zhen didn't see the man's darkened face.

She grasped the hem of Gu Huaizhi's clothes tightly with her bare hands. Seeing that Gu Huaizhi stopped making any sound, she just assumed that he didn't like to talk about other people's affairs, so she didn't mention it and instead talked about what happened today.

"Husband, what do you think?"

Gu Huaizhi was silent. He was too lazy to get involved in such nonsense.

He closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention.

Ruan Zhen thought to herself: "I quite want to see the two of them dancing."

Ruan Zhen leaned her head against his chest. Just when Gu Huaizhi thought she was about to stop, the young woman's voice suddenly came from the tent again, and it was so sweet that it made his throat dry: "Husband."

Gu Huaizhi didn't want to care anymore, and he even thought that it would be really difficult to not have sex for the first three months.

Ruan Zhen didn't hear any movement. She raised her eyes slightly and opened her lips to speak again. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the man roughly covered her lips.

Ruan Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't struggle. She cooperated obediently and remained motionless.

"Shut up!" he said in a harsh tone.

Ruan Zhen blinked.

Gu Gu Huaizhi's body tensed up, and his patience was clearly running out at this moment.

"Do you still want to sleep?"

Ruan Zhen wanted to shake her head, but Gu Huaizhi held her head back.

He paused word by word and said, "You speak of a brave and resourceful person, yet you still come here to ask me for advice."

"Wu Xuchen has caught your eye? Tell me, what else is good about him?" He sneered.

He didn't move his hand covering Ruan Zhen's red lips.

He seemed to be asking a question, but he was not prepared to let Ruan Zhen reply.
