Chapter 481: Cure (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Later on, as he became successful, his elder brother and those relatives became envious and would frequently come to his house, suggesting things like taking concubines and adopting heirs, causing endless disturbances. If not for this, his frail wife would not have risked getting pregnant again, and as a result, they both lost their lives.
Now was a good opportunity. With the eldest princess as a witness on the spot, even if they blew this matter up, they would be in the right.
Moreover, if he didn’t deal with the culprit ruthlessly this time, there would be a next time…
Boss Zhen gritted his teeth and looked at Zhen Ruzhu. The father and daughter had the same determination in their eyes.
An Le saw everything from the beginning to the end. Her little face was filled with righteous indignation as she said considerately, “Miss Zhen, quickly go to the capital with your father to report to the officials. Just get your shopkeeper to help us.”
The father and daughter bowed solemnly to Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi and left.
“Second Brother…” Master Zhen hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after him in a panic. He shouted, “Second Brother, are you really going to report it to the officials…”
The woman who came with him was a little embarrassed. She squeezed out a fake smile and left resentfully.
Half of the people in the back hall were gone, and it was much more spacious.
The shopkeeper and the two shop assistants were still a little shocked as they thought about what had just happened. The shop assistant secretly pinched his thigh, and the pain told him that everything just now wasn’t a dream.
Then this girl was really an expert. She could tell at a glance that their boss wasn’t ill but poisoned. A talisman could cure their boss’s illness… No, treat the poison.
The living dead, flesh, and bones were nothing much.
The shop assistant looked at Gu Yanfei with admiration, as if he was looking up at a Guanyin statue piously.
“Sister.” An Le was also looking at Gu Yanfei. She twisted her fair fingers and asked with a frown, “Why did they do this? Is it because Miss Zhen is a girl?” “Because of the silver,” Gu Yanfei replied naturally. She lowered her head and picked up the jewelry on the tray. Her gaze landed on a gold-plated jade phoenix-shaped hook.
In the end, there was only the word “greed” playing tricks. They were coveting something that didn’t belong to them.
An Le nodded thoughtfully and was enlightened. “I see. The source of everything is silver.”
Therefore, some people had been targeting her father and eldest brother.
Previously, they didn’t want her eldest brother to return to the capital because they had more money!
Her eldest brother was so pitiful!
An Le looked at Chu Yi with a sympathetic gaze. Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister. He felt that this girl’s gaze was a little strange.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yi asked gently.
Her peaceful eyes moved as she adjusted the crown in her hair. She said to Chu Yi sweetly, “Big Brother, does this look good?”
The shopkeeper and the waiters were shocked by the way she addressed him. Their jaws were about to drop.
Then wouldn’t this handsome young master be the Eldest Prince?!
Chu Yi smiled slightly and nodded at his precious sister. “Yes.”
How can it not look good when she’s the one who designed it?
As he spoke, Chu Yi looked at Gu Yanfei, who was beside An Le. Gu Yanfei was playing with the gold-plated jade phoenix-shaped hook. Her phoenix eyes were a shiny blue tourmaline, small and exquisite.
Gu Yanfei slowly lowered her eyelashes and rubbed her fingers on the phoenix-shaped hook. Then she looked in Chu Yi’s direction, and her eyes moved slightly.
Their gazes met quietly in midair.
“Sister, this one looks good.” An Le looked at the phoenix-shaped hook in Gu Yanfei’s hand with sparkling eyes and clapped her hands happily. “It suits Big Brother very well.”
“It does look good, but…” Gu Yanfei smiled, and her eyes curled into a light arc. She said seriously, “We’ll only know if it’s suitable after we try it.”
She dragged out the last syllable.
“Sister is right.” An Le smiled even more happily and waved at Chu Yi. “Brother, come, try this hook.”
Not long after, the gold phoenix-shaped hook that Gu Yanfei had just picked was matched to the leather belt around Chu Yi’s waist.
Chu Yi was tall and had a straight back. When his waist was tightly tied with a leather belt, he looked especially wide-shouldered and slender. His figure was tall and good-looking, giving off an elegant and powerful sense of beauty.
Gu Yanfei’s gaze moved down from his handsome face and slowly slid across his slender neck, broad shoulders, and thin waist. Finally, it slid down from his well-defined fingers..
