Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 4 Knowing it's him, but pretending not to know him

"I'm over nineteen years old. If I don't get married again, it will only make people look down on me even more. In this life, not everything can be fulfilled. Besides, I think the fourth young master may already have someone to marry. He is already three years older than me, has a good temper, and has received such a good education, so he must prefer a new-age woman who can be his right-hand man."

——Just like An Ruyi.

"What if he doesn't have a date yet?" Huo Xizhou asked, "If so, can he come back before your wedding with Meng Shuheng? Will you still marry Meng Shuheng?"

This woman also knows how old he is, and says he has a good temper?
From childhood to adulthood, others only said that he was cold-tempered, moody and difficult to get along with...

"Sir." Gu Wan stood up, looking at Huo Xizhou with clear eyes: "I have already treated your wound for you, there is no medicine, you can only simply bandage it, if you believe me, it will be here Wait a minute, let me go outside and get you some medicine?"

"You haven't answered my question yet," Huo Xizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Gu Wan, as if staring at his prey.

Gu Wan was startled, and then replied: "I won't marry Meng Shuheng, even if the person in my heart doesn't come back, or if I already have someone to marry, I won't marry him. As for why, Didn't you see it with your own eyes just now?"

She glanced at the bed, with obvious disgust on her face.

The corner of Huo Xizhou's mouth twitched: "Then who are you going to marry?"

"Sir, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you?" Gu Wan expressed some impatience: "If you don't object, I'll take it as your agreement. I will get the medicine from people I know well, and I won't disturb those who come to you. .If you don't believe me, you can shoot me in the back."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door.

——Gu Wan is a smart person, she knows that she can't say too much of anything, it's easier to be trusted if enough is enough.

When she walked through the door intact, closed the door smoothly, and walked a certain distance, she held on to the railing next to her and let out a long breath while clutching her chest. At that time, she was so nervous that her inner clothes were already drenched with sweat.

Knowing that it is him, but pretending not to know him, and dealing with him, this kind of pressure is really scary.

Fortunately, she should have passed the test temporarily.

In order to avoid being discovered by more people, Gu Wan put on the cloak hat, walked out from the back door of the inn, bypassed a few familiar alleys, and walked towards a Chinese medicine clinic.

This is the property of the Gu family, and it is also her favorite place. The old shopkeeper has always taken good care of her. She will occasionally come to the medical clinic to see some women and girls, but through the curtain, others don't know that the female doctor is her. That's all.

But it is still not so easy to get the medicine for trauma, the old shopkeeper will definitely ask carefully.

Thinking of this, Gu Wan's eyes fell on a stone at her feet, she walked over, picked up the stone, and smashed the sharpest part on her forehead with a "slap".

Immediately, she became dizzy, and blood flowed down, covering her eyes and turning her world into blood red.

She thought of the cruel torture she had suffered in her previous life, what was the pain compared to this?
She hurt her face, and let's see how those people who chased and killed Huo Xizhou spread the word that the person who was with Meng Shuheng tonight was her, Gu Wan.

"Uncle De..." Gu Wan staggered into the Chinese medicine clinic.

Seeing her blood-stained face, the shopkeeper, Uncle De, hurried over: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to enjoy lanterns with Miss Er and Young Master Meng?"

"Well," Gu Wan said, "it's just that Yu Ting's sister went to see the young master of the Meng family before me. Later, there were too many people, and I accidentally fell down, rolled in the flowers, and passed out... I don't know what Yu Ting said. Where did Sister Ting and Young Master Meng go? I just woke up and couldn't find a helper, and I was afraid that going back would make my father worry, so I came to the hospital by myself."

"Uncle De, go get me some medicine, and I'll go inside to treat the wound."

Uncle De frowned, and went to get the medicine without asking any further questions. If his daughter's face was hurt, that would be a big deal.

He came over with the best trauma medicine.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Gu Wan hid a bottle.

"Miss, there is something I've always wanted to remind you." Uncle De hesitated for a moment, then said, "You are going to marry Young Master Meng soon, but Miss Er picked this time to take you out to watch the lanterns, and It's very inappropriate to go with that young master Meng before you, if you really want to live a good life with young master Meng, after you get married, you should be more considerate, not everyone in this world is good."

Gu Wan felt a stab in her heart. It turned out that even the old shopkeeper had noticed the unusual relationship between Gu Yuting and Meng Shuheng. It was ridiculous that she had always believed that Meng Shuheng was sincere to her in her previous life.

"Uncle De," Gu Wan said, "I know that you really think about me. I saw something tonight and understand what you mean. I will be careful."

"It's just that I want to ask you to do me a favor—if my father asks, just say that I came to the hospital two hours ago. I'm about to get married, and I fainted outside alone. No one has seen it, but if it spreads, it will not be good for my reputation after all. I will rest in the medical hall tonight, okay?"

She knew that the old shopkeeper was kind to her. In her previous life, when she was helpless in the Huo family, the old shopkeeper secretly asked someone to give her some money. Later, Gu Yuting found out and pushed the old shopkeeper into the lake to drown. .

But she couldn't tell the whole truth to the old shopkeeper, so as not to implicate the old shopkeeper.

Uncle De didn't think much, nodded and agreed.

Occasionally, the eldest lady will live in the hospital, the master knows it.

After Gu Wan took care of the wound on her forehead, she took out the clothes she had put here, and after changing them, she burned the broken clothes to avoid being caught.Then she quietly waited for the old shopkeeper to close the clinic and rest, then she turned off the lights in the room, quietly left the hospital, and went straight to the inn.

In the inn, Huo Xizhou wanted to leave several times.

Gu Wan has been there for too long, which inevitably made him suspicious.

——Did the woman escape, or did she betray him?

If she escapes, it's okay, she's just an ordinary woman with less courage.

But if after she went out, she knew that those who were looking for him were from the eldest brother of the Marshal's Mansion, and she was afraid and reported him, and he would be in danger.

The old man wanted to hand over the rights in the army to him. He was hunted down all the way back, and now he has arrived in Jiangcheng. The eldest brother and the third brother don't want him to see the old man alive. If he doesn't show up for the old man's birthday tomorrow, their plot will succeed More than half... Thinking about it this way, the danger of staying is of course much greater than leaving.

But for some reason, he sat back again and again. He wanted to believe Gu Wan, maybe it was because she told him with clear eyes that the person she had been waiting for was Huo Xizhou?

The Fourth Young Master of Jiangcheng, the Xizhou of the Huo family, isn't he the one!

He saved a lot of people. I don't know who the old man she was talking about was, but she said he was tough and tender.

Of course, his culture is not low, and he knows that this kind of iron-boned tenderness has something to do with the relationship between a man and a woman, and it is really inappropriate to apply it to him, but he thinks it is very pleasant to say it from her mouth...

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The footsteps are brisk and the landing is quiet. Is that the woman back?
Huo Xizhou collected his face, moved behind the door, and clenched the gun in his hand.
