Chapter 283 Husband shouldn’t be so petty
Fujikaku
Gu Huaizhi thought these people were too noisy, so he counted the time and stood up with a calm expression.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Gu Huaizhi frowned, stared at Sheng Qinan who was asking the question with a faint expression, and said lightly: "Do I still need to report my movements to you?"
He sighed and asked lightly: "Do you want to die?"
Sheng Qinan was silent at the moment. His body couldn't help but shrink. It was obviously another day dominated by Gu Huaizhi.
Yi Lin couldn't get enough of a good show, so he glanced at the shivering Sheng Qinan with a complaining look.
"Look at your mouth. Where could Gu Huaizhi go? Of course, it's back home. It's still early in the morning. As for whether he's going back to see Xiao Hui or Sister Ruan, it's not up to you and me to guess."
His words were strange and had a bit of a bitch tone.
Wu Xuchen took a sip of tea in silence.
Although she met Gu Huaizhi late, she had a clear conscience. If she interfered at this moment, there would be no good consequences.
However, he really didn't know why Yi Lin was so mean and insisted on getting his face slapped.
Is this a quirk of the richest man in China?
Rich man Yi enjoys the pleasure of being humiliated?
Thinking of this, the way he looked at Yi Lin became a little weird.
"Yi Lin." Gu Huaizhi said the word softly.
His voice was low, like polished jade, mixed with a bit of warmth and a bit of imperceptible coldness.
"The treasury has been empty all year round. Do you want to show your face in front of Emperor Hui again?"
Yi Lin smiled.
Gu Huaizhi still looked at him, and turned the finger faster, and sneered slightly: "Qi Chuxin is still in my house, do you need me to mention you again?"
Yi Lin swallowed and his momentum weakened.
Seeing this, Sheng Qinan laughed maliciously. He couldn't control his laughter, and for fear of hurting himself, he quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and his body twitched.
Very funny.
Gu Huaizhi raised his noble hand expressionlessly and pointed at Sheng Qinan casually, but he still said it to Yi Lin.
"Or, next year today, that fool can offer you a stick of incense?"
The fool was so dull that he couldn't laugh out loud.
Yi Lin also expressed his sadness.
Wu Xuchen:......
Gu Huaizhi stepped out and was about to cross the threshold when he left a message.
"If you are a man of the Sheng family who stands upright and shares the worries of your father and me, from now on, you will take over the responsibility of delivering messages and making decisions at the General's Mansion. Although Zhou Xu came back silently, there must be other restrictions for access to Lin'an.
Identity, you have to handle this matter."
Sheng Qinan had a bitter look on his face, watching the man's tall figure disappear, a sigh escaped from his lips and teeth.
Yi Lin pushed him: "Gu Huaizhi entrusted you with such an important matter from the beginning because he valued you. Why are you sighing?"
As he said this, he pointed to himself: "I am the accounting clerk."
As he spoke, he pointed to Wu Xuchen beside him: "He is the tea boy."
Sheng Qinan gave him a complicated look.
"You do not understand?"
"I'm afraid that if I do it too well, it will cover up my brother's shine."
Yi Lin:......
Are you crazy about gains and losses?
Although you are indeed secretive, you are somewhat capable.
But Yi Lin couldn't even say such words!
"Bah, you can pull it off, you fake monk. Shameless."

When Ruan Zhen came back, she saw Qi Chuxin entering Hanliyuan and then went to Moyuan.
After walking inside for a while, he saw Gu Huaizhi sitting in the Octagonal Pavilion.
The light shone on his body, making his whole person look softer.
If you ignore that not long ago, he specifically ordered Changfeng to kill people, it would seem that the years have been peaceful.
The man was holding a stone table with one hand, and a plate of fried fish was placed on the stone table.
Ruan Zhen could smell the fragrance even from a distance.
Xiao Hui was wagging his tail anxiously at the side, his dark eyes staring directly at the fried fish in Gu Huaizhi's hand.
The breeze stirred the man's robe, but Gu Huaizhi didn't feed it, he just put his hands in the air and frowned.
Ruan Zhen walked over slowly without disturbing him at all.
The man kept moving, and Ruan Zhen's hands were sore for him.
Xiao Hui naturally saw Ruan Zhen, but it was obvious that he was tired of wagging his tail and couldn't eat the fried fish, so he could only lie down in grievance and grunted aggrievedly.
"What are you thinking about, husband?"
The woman's gentle voice sounded behind him, dragging Gu Huaizhi from his thoughts back to reality.
He slowly raised his eyes, turned slightly, and met the woman's eyes like autumn water.
Gu Huaizhi's voice was light and there was no fluctuation in his tone: "I was thinking about how deep the cliff at Mount You'an outside the city is."
Gu Huaizhi didn't want to think about how to kill Emperor Hui, but he was actually thinking about a cliff?
Ruan Zhen:???
Gu Huaizhi smiled, and each word was as light as a thin cloud. It spread to Ruan Zhen's ears along the breeze, and then dissipated: "What do you think of this matter?"
Ruan Zhen rubbed Xiao Hui'er's wilted head and said, "You'an Mountain is famous for its steepness. I don't know how deep it is."
"If that person falls..."
Ruan Zhen pursed her lips: "Of course there are no bones left."
No bones left, three lives.
Gu Huai paused. He slowly withdrew his hand and threw the dried fish on the silver plate. But he didn't mention it anymore. His eyes passed over Ruan Zhen's empty hand.
"Not enough money?"
Ruan Zhen whispered: "That's enough."
Before going out, Gu Huaizhi filled her purse with one thousand taels of silver notes.
So much so that she was worried about meeting pickpockets along the way.
Ruan Zhen had never seen so many banknotes, and she had never thought that one day she would be able to carry these banknotes around the market without having to worry about being stolen.
This emotion made her extremely tired.
She stretched out her hand, rubbed her slender white fingers a little, and her sleeves slid down. The bracelet on top made her bright wrists become more and more as white as jade.
"I just spent one tael of silver to listen to the play. It's hard to find silver notes, so I spent what I had saved previously."
After giving these banknotes to Ruan Zhen, Gu Huaizhi really didn't expect Ruan Zhen to use them much. But he never expected that she wouldn't touch them at all.
Gu Huaizhi took the handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from his fingertips. What he said was natural: "Give me back the banknote?"
Ruan Zhen's eyes widened: "Didn't you give it to me?"
"I gave it to you for this trip. Since it's useless, you have to give it back to me."
As he said that, he glanced at her lightly, not seeing the tenderness on the couch, and added: "Do you want to swallow it?"
Ruan Zhen covered the money bag and even took a few steps back. She looked at Gu Huaizhi unhappily and could only whisper: "Since you gave it to me, it's mine."
"How...is there any reason to go back?"
Gu Huaizhi was silent and just looked at her.
Ruan Zhen was not afraid at all, she looked into his eyes stubbornly and tried to reason with Gu Huaizhi.
"A husband shouldn't be so petty."
Gu Huaizhi looked at her hand tightly covering the money bag and laughed angrily: "Who are you saying is a petty person?"
