Chapter 167: Chapter 95: A Red Apricot Tree Wants to Climb Over the Wall
“Xiao Chengwen decided it was do or die against you, which wasn’t beyond my expectations. Liuzhou has seen ten years of peace and prosperity, and the people have long forgotten the need for vigilance in safety, showing little interest in storing grain. The circulating grain was massively purchased, indeed enough to incite unrest. In the final analysis, it was I who dragged you into this mess,” Zhou Mu said, lowering his head. Everything seemed too coincidental, the trouble with Xiao Chengwen had started, he had fiercely moved against her, and the two elder servants he had sent to protect her had unfortunately encountered Yue Xilou.
Man’s calculations are inferior to heaven’s, it was ultimately him who dragged her into this, his hand unconsciously covered her weakened spine.
The two wounds were still shockingly visible, the peril of that time could naturally be imagined.
His icy expression gradually showed some cracks, stained with a tinge of guilt.
Gu Changsheng was not made of wood and naturally felt his movements; as she looked up again, her eyes involuntarily met his…
His profound contours and deep gaze were utterly pure, like a vortex drawing people in…
Gu Changsheng fiercely shook her head and cursed inwardly, evildoers are a bane! She must not look, must not look!
This was the time when her fighting spirit should be soaring, sitting up to demand accounts!
She must not be seduced by beauty, especially by a beauty smeared with a facial mask, utterly obscure…
This is utterly disgraceful!
And now, her movements are too bizarre…
It’s the same male under and female on top…
The only difference is, last time it was drunken stupor on the bed, this time it’s on a rocking chair in broad daylight, and damn, there’s even a Flower Peacock watching!
Understanding the crux, Gu Changsheng’s grip involuntarily loosened.
She wondered if it would be too embarrassing to stop now? Would Yue Xilou ridicule her?
Damn! Let it be embarrassing and let the ridicule happen, she can’t really strangle Zhou Mu, the evildoer, in a fit of pique.
Even though she would like to, it wasn’t realistic!
Just as Gu Changsheng decided to retract her hand after reflecting, her supporting strength faltered at that exact moment, and she lost her balance due to the earth-shaking yell…
Gloriously, she fell again…
Zhou Mu lived up to expectations and steadily caught the delicate body of Gu Changsheng falling towards him amidst the rocking of the chair…
The familiar touch and the warmth of skin contact through their clothes sent an instant alarm through Gu Changsheng’s heart, leaving no room to consider anything else. Like a carp flipping over, she tumbled off the rocking chair…
Yue Xilou had already stopped caring about watching the scene; at this moment, he was looking at Gu Changsheng with a face full of injured abandonment…
Gu Changsheng just steadied herself when she shivered under his gaze.
Crap! Flower Peacock’s affected attitude is so fake; please forgive her inability to accept it!
And on the other side, the chief culprit and instigator, none other than Eunuch Yuan Bao, who had uninvitedly barged in…
Just when Gu Changsheng was about to blow up, she was defeated by Yuan Bao’s expression, which seemed immensely wronged, on the verge of tears…
Eunuch Yuan Bao, shaking his sleeves, pointed at the three people in the courtyard again and again, ignoring only the Little Meat Bun sitting in the middle on the rocking chair, eyes glaring wide…
“You…” Yuan Bao pointed at Flower Peacock with tears almost falling.
Okay, his distinct attire made it easy to recognize this flamboyantly dressed man at a glance…
Shifting the target, he pointed again.
Very coincidentally pointing at the only person still lying down, smeared so black and gray the face was unrecognizable, but looking at the body shape, quite good, the figure could even compete with his own master…
The key is, he could be sure it was a man!
“You…” Yuan Bao moved his finger from Zhou Mu, finally pointing to Gu Changsheng, wearing an agonized expression like catching a cheating spouse, “Lady Changsheng, my master is deeply devoted to you, how could you portray him by cheating while he is out on a campaign?”
Gu Changsheng was also somewhat speechlessly choked, stared intensely at Yuan Bao, then looked at the evildoer she had just again toppled over; her facial expressions shifted…
What kind of script is this?
Family not recognizing family? Rebellion from within?
Actually, the truth was that Gu Changsheng really was overthinking. Zhou Mu’s face was smeared in such a mess, lying down and dressed in the most ordinary clothes, even Yuan Bao who served him closely did not recognize him. Since he didn’t recognize him, Yuan Bao, feeling outraged, took the chance when Gu Changsheng was pondering to continue.
“You mentioned sneaking around is fine, but why did you have to let me see it?” Distressed, he wiped a tear, Eunuch Yuan Bao felt very wronged.
He really didn’t want to see it. Now that he had seen this drama of Red Sleeve cheating, should he report it or not?
