Chapter 23 Isn't He Stupid?

"People are not dead." Gu Xixi wrote lightly.

"Out of the city from the east gate, walk ten miles to a small fishing village, where people hide."

The woman's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if she was judging whether what Gu Xixi said was true or false.

The three women gathered together and discussed in low voices.

"Sister Cuiyun, this girl seems to be quite capable. I think what she said is probably true?"

"Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense? We are all in prison now, and it's almost the end of the autumn, and we are only a few days away from the time of execution."

"But if what she said is true, aren't we saved?"

"."

While the three of them were talking, a few yamen servants came from a distance.

'Clatter clatter——' The iron lock rang, and the door was opened.

"Who is Gu Xixi? Come out." The leader Wang Butou said.

Gu Xixi walked out in response.

When Catcher Wang saw the other three people in the cell clearly, he couldn't help but frowned and muttered in a low voice: "How can this little lady be locked up with the three of them?"

Then he saw Gu Xixi coming in front of him, and said: "The prefect knows the ins and outs of this matter. It stands to reason that you should be punished for hitting someone, but after all, the other party made a mistake first."

"The prefect thinks about the reputation of the little lady, so he doesn't plan to be promoted to trial."

"But little lady, don't worry, those five people have been ordered to punish each of them with [-] boards, and they will be punished after their injuries recover."

"It's just that you made a move after all, little lady, and you need to compensate the other party a hundred taels of silver."

Gu Xixi frowned, she didn't know where to scrape together the one hundred taels of silver.

It's really hard for a hero to be stumped by three pennies!
Seeming to see her concerns, Catcher Wang said again: "As for the money, my lady, your mother-in-law has given it out, you can go home now."

Mother-in-law?Wang Shuanghua?

Gu Xixi nodded in thanks, followed Wang Butou and the others out of the dungeon, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Wang Shuanghua who was anxiously waiting here and pacing back and forth.

"Mother—" Gu Xixi shouted with a sore nose.

This feeling of being cared about and waiting for is really warm.

"Xiya, are you suffering? Let's go home, I made chicken soup for you and Junze." Wang Shuanghua asked with concern.

Standing behind Wang Shuanghua was Li Junze with soft eyes.

Feeling Gu Xixi's gaze, his starry eyes slightly raised, his lips curled into a smile, he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

Gu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go home!"

It was already dark when we arrived at the shop, and the buck-tooth guy didn't close the shop and leave, but waited for them to come back.

Dinner was stewed chicken soup and a few simple vegetarian dishes, and the buck-toothed guy who didn't go home was also left to eat with him.

The chicken soup has been simmered for nearly three hours, the soup base is rich and clear, very warm to the stomach.

Wang Shuanghua broke off the big chicken leg and put it in Gu Xixi's bowl.

During the whole meal, she didn't mention the one hundred taels of silver.

Gu Xixi knows, Wang Shuanghua loves money so much, how can he not feel sorry for him?

It's just that in the other party's eyes, her daughter-in-law, who is like a real daughter, is more important than money!

Gu Xixi speeded up the speed of pulling the rice, swearing in her heart that she would definitely earn ten times, a hundred times or even more than one hundred and two times more money back!

At night, after the dental office proofed, Gu Xixi checked the ledger at the counter and compared the dental record book as usual.

"I went out today with another one hundred taels of silver, and the remaining silver in the account is less than ten taels. If we don't open the business again, I'm afraid we won't even be able to send out the monthly money."

"Strange, how can there be houses in the north of Yanzhou City near the Qinling Mountains?"

Gu Xixi looked at the house that was only registered today, and expressed doubts.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, "There are many houses at the foot of the mountain in Beicheng, and they are all courtyards that only rich people can afford."

When Gu Xixi turned her head, she saw Li Junze looking at her softly with pursed lips and eyes.

His voice was somewhat magnetic, especially gentle and pleasant in this quiet night.

Maybe he just finished his work and looks disheveled, but those bright star pupils are still full of energy.

He naturally hugged her waist, his eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and his warm breath passed by Gu Xixi's ears.

"Jun Junze" Gu Xixi's cheeks were flushed, and she quickly backed away, but bumped into the counter, and the pen and paper were scattered all over the floor.

Li Junze quickly hugged her into his arms, brushed her big hand over her lower back, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Xixi shook her head, then asked uncertainly: "Jun Ze, are you getting better?"

"Yeah." Li Junze responded indifferently, "What? You don't like me when I get better?"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and a strong smile appeared in his phoenix eyes, and he leaned forward a few minutes, and asked solemnly: "Does what Xixi said before still count?"

"Ah?" Gu Xixi was taken aback, what did she say?

Could it be the sentence that said that he would never leave him?Or, no matter what he looks like, he likes that sentence?

Gu Xixi felt that at this moment, her mind was very confused!

Is this what it feels like to be in love?

She was still in a daze, but the next second——

Li Junze stretched out his index finger and hooked it across the tip of her nose.

In an instant, Gu Xixi felt a tingling electric current pass through her body, an indescribably strange feeling.

But this action is not the first time the two have done it.

She had given it to Li Junze herself before.

"It's late, I'm sleepy, let's go upstairs to sleep."

After all, Gu Xixi fled in a hurry.

Li Junze watched her disappear on the second floor, and refused to take it back for a long time.

He sighed, what happened these days was like a dream.

Gu Xixi, to him, is not just the little daughter-in-law bought back by his family after he was beaten stupid.

She is a warm light, illuminating the darkness in his most difficult times.

It was also her who pulled him out of the endless abyss.

In the early morning of the second day, just after the tooth store opened, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers was heard outside the shop.

what happened?

Gu Xixi was taken aback, and walked out of the shop quickly, wanting to see what was so lively.

In the streets and alleys, in front of Wanglai Yahang, the lion dance team performed vigorously with drums and gongs.

The sound of festive firecrackers also attracted nearby crowds to watch.

I saw Li Chengyi wearing a rich red wide-sleeved gown, with a cheerful face, and kept shouting: "Wang Lai Dental Shop is celebrating, and anyone who buys a house in this dental shop will be given a three-point profit!"

Niu Buer and the rest of the staff also dispersed, scrambling to solicit customers in their own shop.

Gu Xixi frowned, there is nothing good in the world!What is Wang Lai Yaxing thinking about?Willing to take the initiative to give up three points?

Is the sun coming out west?

On the contrary, Li Junze stood by her side at some point, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was somewhat indifferent: "It seems that uncle would rather make less money by himself, but also consume our Xingshun dental business to death."

"It's just that acting like this breaks the rules."

"Presumably within ten days and a half a month, there will be colleagues looking for trouble."

 Babies!During the recommendation period, please come and count the tickets!Love you guys!
