While the two were talking, they heard a woman's desperate cry coming from the right side of the road ahead.

People who cry are horrified.

The joking in Ruan Zhen's mouth also disappeared.

Blocked by weeds as tall as a human, Ruan Zhen couldn't see clearly, so she could only hold her breath and look along the source of the sound.

Gu Huaizhi frowned, moved his fingertips, and gave an order. An Qi followed and disappeared. Within a moment, she suddenly appeared again and whispered.

"There are two people in total, they are ordinary people."

The crying continued and the smell was miserable.

Ruan Zhen slowly raised her hand to move away the unsightly weeds.

The next moment, she heard the man sighing helplessly. Her waist tightened and her toes lifted off the ground. She was picked up by someone, followed by a feeling of weightlessness.

Before she could react, Ruan Zhen was carried up the tree by Gu Huaizhi.

Maybe it was because it was dirty, so Gu Huaizhi had the leisure to put a handkerchief on it. After doing this, he sat down with Ruan Zhen in his arms.

Since he wanted to see Huaizhi's wife, he had to find the best angle. What's the point of being sneaky?

Ruan Zhen:???

She was a little afraid of heights, so she could only hug Gu Huaizhi's neck tightly.

"Let go." Gu Huaizhi panicked. He put a hand on her lower abdomen and whispered in Ruan Zhen's ear.

"I don't want it." Her head was shaking like a rattle, and her voice was sticky.

"I won't throw you."

Ruan Zhen continued to hold her and refused to let go.

"Going down then?"

The voices here were very soft, obviously not interrupting the movement in front.

The woman who was crying was a woman whose clothes were washed a little white and didn't have too many accessories. She looked like the most ordinary common people. She was begging hard to the rigid, calm old woman in front of her.

"Mother-in-law, please, don't drive me away."

It sounds miserable.

The old woman was not like her, her clothes were obviously new, and there was a gold bracelet hanging on her hand. Seeing this, she didn't feel any pity. She impatiently pushed the baggage in her hand towards the woman, appearing to

Extremely mean: "Huang! Can't you understand something?"

"As I said, this is Brother Yuan's chance to climb up. He is now valued by his mentor. Why are you staying in the capital and being a stumbling block for him? Just go to your hometown and stay there, lest those people laugh at my son for marrying a wife.

I don't even know how to read. Ru Niang, he is your husband, isn't it what you should do to sacrifice for his future? Only when he gets better can you get better!"

Why are you crying? It’s really unlucky!

If it weren't for the fear of Mr. Huang making trouble, Brother Yuan was kind-hearted and cared about the relationship between husband and wife, he would have long...

Ruan Zhen's red lips moved, she buried her head in Gu Huaizhi's chest, looked down, and said in a low voice: "Huai Lang, please."

Gu Huaizhi was impressed by Ruan Zhen's ability to apply what he learned.

The sarcasm in his mouth was completely silenced by this delicate and soft Huai Lang sentence.

He didn't say anything, but just changed his posture to make Ruan Zhen sit more comfortably.

Mrs. Huang hugged the bundle tightly, her face turned pale, and she murmured: "I won't leave."

"What did you say!" The old woman's face suddenly darkened, and her attitude was even worse. She looked at her daughter-in-law as if she were looking at an enemy.

She cursed loudly: "You are such a heartless woman! Why did my brother Yuan marry you?"

Mrs. Huang buried her head and said with a cry: "When my husband was in destitution, I got married and confiscated a cent of the betrothal gift. I didn't know how to do it, but I have worked hard all these years, serving my mother-in-law and taking care of the family. Why didn't you then?"

Are you saying that I am completely unconscionable?”

"Seeing that my husband has been promoted, and now he has come to Lin'an, and his life is moving forward, my mother-in-law wants to drive me away."

The old woman immediately stared: "You have nothing to do so far! Based on this alone, I can let Brother Yuan divorce you!"

"I told you to leave, but you didn't leave! How dare you yell at me here! Who are you disobeying?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand ferociously and twisted the woman's arm hard, trying hard to get a piece of flesh out.

"Mother-in-law!"

Mrs. Huang gritted her teeth: "It was you who asked me to drink the medicine to avoid having children. You said that it would not be too late for my husband to have children after he was promoted to office. The family was in a difficult situation, so that he would not suffer when he was born. This is your order."

She choked with sobs: "I want to see my husband."

"He won't see you, and he just nodded to let you leave."

This sentence made Huang's whole body tremble with chills. She didn't believe it, but the temperature in her husband's eyes when he looked at her in the past few days was indeed getting colder and colder.

She staggered a few steps as she was pushed, her limbs became weak, and the baggage in her hand fell to the ground.

A ridiculous thought flashed through my mind.

If I remember correctly, my mentor's daughter is still unmarried.

So, this is the reason why he drove her away in a hurry.

Seeing this, the old woman took out a few taels of silver from her body and threw it directly to the ground, as if giving alms: "Don't say that I treated you harshly, if you had the sense to take the silver and leave. If you keep your duty, you will still have your mouth."

Let’s eat.”

Ruan Zhen couldn't listen anymore. She squeezed Gu Huaizhi's hand by the collar and tightened it.

"Watch." A man's faint voice came from above his head. Before Ruan Zhen could react, he saw him picking off a leaf and holding it between his fingertips.

The man narrowed his eyes coldly, and in the next moment, the leaves were thrown in one place. His movement was very casual, but the leaves flew towards the old woman's legs at a powerful speed.

There was a 'click', the sound of bones dislocating, and the old woman knelt down on one leg in front of Huang.

It looks like a courtship gesture.

Huang took three steps back in fright. She struggled internally, but finally her reason prevailed: "My mother-in-law begged me like this, so I can't help but obey!"

This turn of events caught Ruan Zhen unexpectedly.

Her eyes slid upward and fell on Gu Huaizhi's sharply knuckled hands. She couldn't hold back, let go of Gu Huaizhi's neck, and held Gu Huaizhi's hand in surprise: "My husband is so talented and so powerful."

Perhaps the words were too pleasant to the ears, or perhaps the old woman's current posture was a bit ugly, so the man couldn't help but take another leaf.

With another 'click', the old woman fell to the ground with her legs like a puppet with strings pulled, and knelt in front of the dull Huang.

The old woman’s eyes widened, as if her eyeballs might fall out at the next moment: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Huang:???

Ruan Zhen:!!!

She no longer has the dignity of the past: "Wow!"

Before Gu Huaizhi could take action, Ruan Zhenwu picked off a leaf and handed it to Gu Huaizhi: "What else can I do?"

The undisguised admiration in the woman's eyes made Gu Huaizhi feel elated.

He was happy both physically and mentally, but it didn't show on his face. He took the leaf from Ruan Zhen's hand. The man cleared his throat and uttered two words.

"kill."

With that said, he would raise his noble hand and let Ruan Zhen open his eyes.

Ruan Zhen:!

She was excited and quickly stopped her.

Gu Huaizhi was surprised and looked at her with a serious look: "You don't believe me?"

Ruan Zhen: I just believe it too much.

She was speechless: "I don't want to see blood."

"Who said to fight fire with fire?"

Ruan Zhen choked and looked at Gu Huaizhi innocently.
