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

Chapter 45
After dinner, Huo Xizhou sent Gu Wan to the door of Gu's house before going back.

Gu Wan entered the door and found that the spilled dog blood had been cleaned up, and the ground was wet, but she didn't see Gu Haishan and the others, so she didn't care, and went directly to her yard.

When passing a tall sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a little girl came out from behind and called out timidly, "Miss."

Gu Wan turned her head, saw that the girl looked familiar, thought for a while, and remembered that this girl was in charge of cleaning in Gu Yuting's yard.She immediately took precautions.

Gu Yuting's girl came to look for her? ——Could it be that Gu Yuting has some conspiracy?
"What do you want from me?" Gu Wan turned cold and stared at the girl.

"I...I have something I want to talk to Missy." The girl looked around: "Can Missy take a moment to talk?"

"No need, just say what you want to say here." Gu Wan replied.

Borrow a step?Who knows what will happen if you take a step?
After hearing this, the girl looked around again, then lowered her voice and said, "Miss, I'm here to tell you that you must be careful tonight. The second lady persuaded the master and madam to find some The thief went to your yard to rob things, and based on what I know about Second Miss, she might take the opportunity to lay hands on you, Eldest Miss."

Gu Wan's face darkened suddenly, they are still thinking about the betrothal gifts sent by Huo Xizhou?
Looking for thieves outside to rob late at night?

"There are thieves who dare to steal the Huo family's things? Do you think I will believe your alarmist words?" Gu Wan said coldly: "You are from Gu Yuting's yard, right? Gu Yuting asked you to say these words? I See if you don't want to stay in Gu's house? That's fine, I'll tell my father and let him fire you and drive you out. "

——This is of course Gu Wan's temptation.

"No, miss," the girl hurriedly explained: "I have no bad intentions, I heard what the second lady said today, and what I said is true, if there is a half-truth, it will be a thunderbolt." , Die badly, miss, you have to trust me."

"Really? Then why did you tell me?" Gu Wan stared into the girl's eyes: "In this family, I have always been the one who was bullied. Wouldn't it be better for you to help Gu Yuting?"

"Miss, I'm actually Fang Erniu's distant cousin, who has a marriage contract with Erniu brother. Last summer, Erniu brother went to work in the second lady's yard and was hit by a stone. Second lady wouldn't let him It was the medicine you gave me to go outside to treat the wound, otherwise brother Erniu's feet would be crippled, and I would have to marry a cripple in the future. I always remember your kindness, and I don't know how to repay you. This time, I deliberately came here to tell you to be more careful..."

It sounded very sincere, and he didn't look away, his eyes were very clear, it didn't seem like he was telling a lie.

Fang Er, Gu Wan also thought about it for a while, he is the long-term worker in the family, so there is such a thing.

"I understand your kindness, you can go back." Gu Wan said.

The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say a few more words to make Gu Wan believe her, but seeing Gu Wan's expressionless face, she finally turned around without saying anything.

Gu Wan looked at the girl's back and clenched her fists tightly.

is it tonight

Whether it's true or not, she won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight...

She continued to walk forward and walked into her own yard, and was surprised to find that the yard was not as wet as outside. Obviously, there was still a lot of dog blood splashed in her yard, but she couldn't see a drop of it at the moment. , Not to mention the yard is clean, even the weeds in the flower beds are gone.

Walking into the room again, the inside has been cleaned, and there is an extra incense burner, which burns a pleasant aroma.

Adjutant Zhang came over and said respectfully to Gu Wan: "Young Madam, after cleaning the house, there is still a bit of bloody smell, so the subordinates took the incense burner and lit spices to remove the smell. If Young Madam doesn't like it, just smoke it again Withdrew."

"I like it very much, thank you." Gu Wan said with a smile.

He asked again, "Where is Adjutant Zhang from?"

Adjutant Zhang immediately understood that Gu Wan wanted to get to know him, so he answered neatly: "My subordinate, Zhang Zhun, is from Bincheng, and he is 22 this year. At that time, he was adopted by the Huo family and grew up with the young marshal, and later went abroad to study with the young marshal, and returned to Jiangcheng a year ago."

"So, you and Xizhou have a good relationship?" Gu Wan knew what she wanted to know, and Adjutant Zhang was very clever. She only asked one sentence, and he knew what she wanted to know.

Moreover, Huo Xizhou's ability to keep Adjutant Zhang to protect her also proved that Adjutant Zhang was credible.

"I have always regarded the young commander-in-chief as the eldest brother." Adjutant Zhang said: "Young madam, if you have anything to do, just ask me to do it."

"On the way back, I met a little girl from Gu Yuting's side. She said that she heard Gu Yuting persuaded Gu Haishan and Jiang Shumei to find a thief to visit my yard tonight. Do you think this matter is credible? How tall?"

"They really dare to do this?" Adjutant Zhang subconsciously said, and then said with a serious face: "Young Madam, to tell you the truth, the Gu family will covet your betrothal gift from the Young Marshal, the Young Marshal has long expected Arrived, so let the subordinates and others stay here today, one is to protect the young lady and those dowries, and the other is to dig out some desperadoes related to the Gu family. The young marshal said that the only way to catch these people is to deal with them. Alright, young lady can be more stable."

Gu Wan was a little surprised and asked back: "You mean, the main purpose of Xizhou's high-profile gift to me is this."

"Yes, young lady." Adjutant Zhang replied.

"But there are only seven or eight of you left, what if there are too many outlaws?" Gu Wan asked.

After all, it is impossible to remove those dowries without manpower. When Huo Xizhou sent them in, nearly a hundred people came to send them.

"The few of us are protecting the young lady in the open. Some brothers stay in the Gu family after sending the dowry to the Gu family, and some people guard the outside of the Gu family. In fact, they have surrounded the Gu family. As long as the Gu family has a little If there is any trouble, I will know it quickly, and the young lady doesn't have to worry about any danger.

Since the young lady has the news that they will do something tonight, no matter whether they come tonight or not, I have made the brothers tense up. If they come, we will wipe out those people. It would be better not to come.What do you think, young lady? "

"I think it's good, I'm going to work hard for you to watch the night." Gu Wan said, "Is there anything I need to cooperate with?"
