“You are a man.” King Kang glared at him.
“It is precisely because I am a man that I should be self-disciplined. I have to think for my family and my wife.”
Just as Gu Chengrui finished speaking, Hong Suzhi clapped her hands and walked over. “I admire you. Lord Gu is really a good husband.”
“Greetings, Princess Consort.” Gu Chengrui quickly cupped his fists and said.
“Lord Gu, please rise.” Hong Suzhi swept a glance at everyone present and then looked at King Kang. “Your Highness, what are you discussing?”
“Nothing. Why are you here?” King Kang looked at her suspiciously.
For a moment, he couldn’t figure out if she had come here intentionally or unintentionally.
“It was too stuffy in the house, and I couldn’t sleep, so I came to the garden to take a walk. I happened to see you guys and walked over.” After Hong Suzhi finished speaking, she waved the handkerchief in her hand and slowly fanned herself.
King Kang looked at the beads of sweat on her nose and forehead, but he couldn’t blame her.
He could only say, “I see. I still have to accompany Lord Gu.”
“It’s alright. I still have something to do, so I won’t disturb you and your wife.” Gu Chengrui said.
King Kang turned his head and glanced at him. He knew that there was no chance of success today, so he nodded. “In that case, let’s continue another day.”
He waved at the guard and asked him to send Gu Chengrui out.
Gu Chengrui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He obediently followed the guard and left the residence with his first-aid kit.
It was only when he returned home that he heaved a sigh of relief.
When he saw Zhou Ying waving at him from a pavilion beside the pond, he quickly walked over and sat opposite her. “Thank you for your reminder today.” “It’s also for myself. I don’t want to have another sister.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Gu Chengrui quickly waved his hands.
“But I’m afraid King Kang won’t let go easily.”
“That’s for sure. I’m sure King Kang will be coming up with another plan. I’m afraid he’ll come over to propose marriage openly tomorrow.”
“Proposing marriage? It seems that he won’t stop until he sends someone in here.”
“Well, I guess there’s no need for us to save face for him anymore.”
“Yeah. Since he’s not afraid of his bad reputation spreading, let’s help him promote it.” The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
In the evening, when it was about time for dinner, Zhou Huaiming came in with a roast goose. “Brother Gu, sister-in-law, I’m here to freeload again.” “What are you talking about? Brother Zhou, please sit down.” Zhou Ying stood up and handed the roast goose in her hand to Xiaxiang. “Take it to the kitchen and slice it.”
“Yes.” Xiaxiang took the roast goose and walked out.
Gu Chengrui poured him a glass of water. “Brother Zhou, why are you free to come over? Aren’t you busy?”
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Zhou Huaiming replied, “It’s time for dinner anyway. I came to look for you today for serious business. Let’s eat first and talk about it after.”
“Alright, do you want a glass of wine?”
“No, there have been many things recently. It’s better to stay sober at all times.”
“Here, a bowl of rice and mung bean porridge to relieve the heat and hunger.” Zhou Ying scooped a bowl of porridge for him.
When Xiaxiang came in with the plate of roast goose, the three buried their heads in their food.
After eating, they went out for a walk before returning to the pavilion by the pond in the courtyard.
After Zhou Ying prepared chrysanthemum tea for them, she took Niu Lirong to the pond to feed the fish. At the same time, she also kept an eye on the people in the residence, especially Xiaxiang, to see if she would come over to eavesdrop.
Sure enough, Xiaxiang walked over with a plate of snacks.
Zhou Ying called her over and said, “Let me see what you have here..”
