Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bitter Meat Scheme
Gu Li went and returned, standing at the door of the private room, watching Shen Rou perform coldly, Gu Yan looked anxious and wanted to stop Gu Li, but he looked like he couldn't be provoked on either side.
"Hehe, we, we came here because we were worried about the second brother." Gu Yan looked at Gu Lun's expressionless face and scratched his head.
"Sister Li, I know that the mistakes I made are not worthy of forgiveness, the second brother forgives me and just pities me, Sister Li is the second brother's own sister, and this time it is thanks to Sister Li......" Shen Rou quickly stood up and explained, her voice became smaller and smaller, tears poured out, and she couldn't speak to herself.
Gu Lun stepped out to stop Shen Rou's next words, and pulled Shen Rou to his side: "Xiaoli, Xiaorou has already explained to me just now, it was all forced by Mrs. Shen to do it, and she was rude to her, Xiaoli, let's forgive Xiaorou......"
Gu Yan also saw the injury on Shen Rou's arm, and immediately rushed to Shen Rou with a shout, grabbed her sleeve and looked at it, and said loudly: "How can General Shen do this to you!" Xiaorou, go home with the third brother, and don't go back to General Raushzi's mansion. β
Seeing Gu Li's inquiring gaze, Shen Rou hurriedly covered her bruised arm, you know, this injury was caused by herself in order to make a bitter trick, if Gu Li really took her to the General's Mansion to confront her father and mother, she would be exposed.
Gu Li naturally knew what she was thinking, but she didn't bother to make a big deal about it, as the heroine, Shen Rou wore the halo of the heroine, it was impossible for her to collapse because of one thing.
But, this time the second brother forgave you, what about next time?
Gu Li looked at Gu Lun and Gu Yan, who had been bought by Shen Rou's pitiful, and a smile appeared on her face, her smile was bright and generous, in stark contrast to Shen Rou who was crying: "The victim of this matter is the second brother, forgive me or not, of course the second brother has the final say, I have no opinion." β
After speaking, Gu Li turned around and left, Gu Yan shouted behind her: "Hey, you woman wait for me, why are you angry!" β
Gu Lun looked in the direction Gu Li left, frowned slightly, stood up, and was about to chase after him, when a timid voice sounded in his ears.
"I know I'm not worthy of forgiveness, Sister Li is angry, second brother, you go and chase Sister Li, she seems to be angry, I'm here alone, I'll go back to the General's Mansion by myself later, I know the way." Shen Rou lowered her head, tears falling on the back of Gu Lun's hand, "I'm very happy to see my second brother today." β
Gu Lun sat down slowly, reached out and touched Shen Rou's head, and said softly, "It's okay, is Xiao Rou hungry?" Shall I order you something delicious? β
"Okay, thank you, second brother!" Shen Rou said happily.
Gu Lun looked downstairs, Gu Yan was chasing after Gu Li, for some reason, he also wanted to chase after him like this and leave this private room.
What happened when the two martial arts halls were fighting caused a sensation in the entire Qianjing.
And Gu Lun's performance in the martial arts arena has become the prototype of storytellers in major teahouses, and has been compiled into various stories to circulate.
As the losing side, the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion disappeared in Qianjing three days later, and the owner of the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion was willing to gamble and lose, which was also admirable.
Soon, another secret news came out that Qin Hui, a famous underground dragon leader in Qianjing, seemed to have been killed, and his body was thrown on a mass grave in the barren mountains outside the city.
Just when everyone was sighing, the biggest melon finally burst out, and Geng Shiren, the rich man of Qianjing, suddenly divorced his wife and drove his wife and eldest son out of the Geng family, the reason is unknown, some guess that his wife killed his favorite concubine, and some guess that his wife cuckolded him.
Synthesically, he drove his sister-in-law out, and the latter one is more likely.
On the bustling street, Gu Li came out of Qianzhuang with a stack of silver tickets in her arms, and her heart was really beautiful, and she would soon be able to buy a yard for her family in Qianjing City.
Buy a faΓ§ade for your father and mother, start a small business, and send Xiaomeng to the best school.
Just thinking about it, there was a sudden pause in his footsteps, and a group of people in front of him were gathered together, everyone was talking to each other, and there seemed to be something lively.
Gu Li has never liked to join in the fun, and was about to turn around and bypass, but when he looked up, he saw a bright yellow carriage slowly coming from the other side of the street, and when he heard the sound of the carriage, in the center of the crowd, the crying sound was a little louder, this kind of deliberateness made Gu Li vigilant.
No, it's too much of a bureau.
Gu Li involuntarily stopped, squeezed left and right outside the crowd, and squeezed to the center of the crowd.
A young girl dressed in filial piety clothes is kneeling in front of a corpse, and the words "Sell yourself to bury your mother" are written on the ground. Although she is also good-looking, it may be that the price she asked for twenty taels of silver is too expensive, so that she has not sold herself until now.
Although the girl's appearance is only beautiful, not a city, but she has a pair of thin white slender fingers, which are soft and clean, which are the hands of the violinist.
Gu Li suddenly remembered a character in the book, a top killer named Ying Ning, who used the sound of the piano to kill people, and was a subordinate of the prince, as for how she became the prince's subordinate, it was not written in the book, could it be that this person was before Ying Ning became famous?
"You look up." Gu Li spoke.
The girl raised her tear-stained face and looked at Gu Li, her eyes were flat, but Gu Li saw the monstrous anger from the depths of her eyes.
At this time, the prince's car happened to pass by, and because of the large number of people, the driving slowed down.
Gu Li's figure moved slightly, and suddenly moved quickly to Ying Ning's side, and her move was as fast as lightning, holding down the hand she was about to raise.
The girl's face was slightly annoyed, but she had lost the best opportunity to strike.
Seeing the prince's car leaving, Ying Ning broke free from Gu Li's clamps, looked at Gu Li with a pair of eyes like knives, and said in a low voice: "Nosy." β
Gu Li smiled slightly, took out an ingot of 20 taels of silver in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Since you sold yourself to bury your mother, come with me!" β
So, in the eyes of everyone, Ying Ning had to ask someone to carry her mother's body and follow Gu Li.
Gu Li walked forward unhurriedly, came to the outskirts, and let the person who carried the corpse of Ying Ning's mother be dismissed by putting down the corpse, only then did she raise her head and look at Ying Ning: "What's your name?" β
"Ying Ning."
"Ying Ning, do you know that you have to thank me today." Gu Li said.
"Thank you for the silver." Ying Ning looked at her angrily, if she hadn't instinctively sensed that she was not the opponent of the other party, she would have almost made a move, and she missed such a good opportunity today.
"I'm not talking about it, I know you're annoyed that I stopped you from making a move, but you have to admit that I saved your life." Gu Li said leisurely in Ying Ning's angry gaze, "I saved you, it's not that I pity your life. β
