Evil Lady: My Hubby is a Traitor - C51

Chapter 51 – Misunderstanding

Chun Hua and Qiu Yue were picking around in the pawnshop, telling the pawnshop assistant to take out some of the cheapest jewelry for them to look at, but this was a pawnshop, the treasures that they received would not be displayed, and the cheapest jewelry here was also worth a lot, making it difficult for the two of them to find it.

Especially for Chun Hua, she had always been worried about Master’s situation in the Gu Xiangfu, and knew that she could only use that money on blades, not carelessly spending it.

“Chun Hua, Chun Hua.” Hiding behind the door, Qiu Yue stuck her head out and anxiously called for Chun Hua.

Chun Hua quickly walked over, and just as she wanted to see what was so interesting, she saw that she had been pulled by Qiu Yue and hid behind the door.

“Hide yourself, don’t let anyone see.” Qiu Yue lowered her voice and said, then pointed to a figure on the street, “Look and see, is she the singer from the house?”

Chun Hua stuck her head out and looked in the direction Qiu Yue pointed. A woman dressed in white, and wearing a veil, was walking slowly on the street. She did not have a servant following behind her, she was just strolling around by herself.

“It’s her.” Chun Hua also recognized the veiled lady.

“I wonder what he’s planning.” Qiu Yue said unhappily: “Why don’t we follow them so that the venomous woman won’t think of a way to harm our Lady.”

Chun Hua held onto the person who said that wind was rain, and said solemnly: “You can’t go, what if something happens to Madam?”

“Fine.” Qiu Yue replied bitterly, and continued to lie behind the door to observe.

Chun Hua let go of Qiu Yue and was no longer in the mood to care about Wen Meng’s matters. Recalling the scene she saw at the Nine Winding Corridor, it was as if a thorn was stuck in her throat.

Chun Hua turned to look at the guards in the room, to confirm that they did not hear what the two had said.

Seeing that the two of them were acting weirdly, and since they were Yun Qianliang’s servants, Gu San found it inconvenient to speak, and pretended not to see them.

Gu Yicheng and Yun Qianliang came out from the rear hall. Qiu Yue hurried forward to make her report, but was stopped by Chun Hua.

Chun Hua looked at Gu Yicheng vigilantly, then went closer to Yun Qianliang and whispered into her ears, “Miss, we saw Wen Meng walking past the shop in a panic just now, so we had to turn our heads to check on the situation.”

“In which direction?” Yun Qianliang asked without hiding anything.

She dared to make people stare at Wen Meng in front of Gu Yicheng, so she was not afraid that she would come and argue with her.

Wen Meng frequently turned her head, and was extremely likely to discover that she was being followed, but she could also be testing if she was being followed, since she did not completely believe what Wen Meng had said, but she did not dare take the risk, and would definitely think of a way to resolve her worries.

“To the east.” Qiu Yue replied.

“Manager Xu, I’ll have to trouble you to send someone to the east to look for Gu Shisan. Help him out for a while.” Yun Qianliang’s eyes turned slightly as smoke started to circulate in his head, making him smile faintly.

“This little one will do it right away.” Manager Xu turned around and returned to the rear hall.

“Have you chosen?” Yun Qianliang saw that the two of them had nothing in their hands.

“Madam, how about we forget about it?” Chun Hua hesitated.

“Chun Hua, don’t mention it.” Yun Qianliang raised her eyebrows.

“This …” Chun Hua became more hesitant.

As the saying goes, if you eat someone while their mouth is soft, then you will have to use someone else’s hand.

She didn’t like the fact that the Gu Xiang Lord was partial to the muse, and even more so didn’t want to give up her master.

“If Madam really wants to give Chun Hua her jewelry, why not give the hairpin in the jewelry box to Chun Hua?” Chun Hua took the initiative to request the things that Yun Qianliang had, without spending any money, and did not let her master have any good intentions either.

Yun Qianliang remembered that hairpin flower, it was made from black sandalwood and it had orange flowers on it. The green leaves matched well, the tip of the hairpin had carved into a deer lying cross-legged, the workmanship was not considered good, it was noble in the artistic conception, but she felt that the hairpin of the ebony had aged a little, and was not suitable for young girls to wear, hence Chun Hua kept it in the jewelry box.

“That ebony hairpin is not suitable for people your age.” Yun Qianliang advised.

“Chun Hua just so happens to love those charming things. Chun Hua spoke sincerely, she was unwilling to choose from the accessories in the pawnshop, “Furthermore, the hairpin was personally picked by Madam, so Chun Hua believes in Madam’s judgement.”

“Madam’s eyesight must be extremely good. Qiu Yue also wants to choose from Madame’s jewelry.” Qiu Yue sweetly followed along with giving up such a great opportunity. Her heart was filled with sincerity, and was unable to find a single trace of reluctance or reluctance towards these precious items.

Yun Qianliang sighed in his heart, in the end, she was not strong enough, so he had to meticulously calculate her livelihood. Originally, she was worried that she might not be able to live a good life, and wanted Gu Yicheng to pay for it, but he did not expect that the two girls would see through her situation so clearly.

Using her own body to exchange for Gu Yicheng to protect the two girls, was truly a good deal.

“Whatever, I thought too early about the dowry. I’ll get it again in the future when I have the chance.” Seeing the two servants let out a sigh of relief, Yun Qianliang felt funny and warm in his heart.

In the end, Gu Yicheng still chose to put on an act.

After exiting the Zheng’an Pawnshop, Yun Qianliang reckoned that Jing Zhao Mansion would have finished his interrogation and returned. If she went to the Jing Zhao Mansion now, he would be able to gather all the information he needed, and would be able to take advantage of the situation. He decided to make a trip to the Jing Zhao Mansion before returning home.

“Master, I …” Just as Yun Qianliang wanted to leave, she was interrupted before she could finish, “It’s rare that you have nothing better to do, how about I accompany Madam on a stroll?”

“Just now in there, you said that other than money, everything else is fine, but now you want to go back on your word. No wonder those other officials from the other families always said that women turn hostile as quickly as flipping books.” Gu Yicheng sighed as he shook his head, he was like a man who had been abandoned to his death, but in the blink of an eye, he started to have a temper, “I don’t care, if you don’t accompany me, I will just stay here and not leave.”

“Whether you want to leave or not won’t be a problem for me.” Yun Qianliang was a person who didn’t care if it was soft or not.

With that said, Yun Qianliang walked towards the carriage, and did not even give a look to Gu Yicheng who was acting shamelessly.

“Ai, the world is so cold.” Gu Yicheng exclaimed loudly with interest, “In the past, my husband was the heavens, my wife had to obey her husband’s commands. But now, it has changed, this woman has a better appearance, she doesn’t put my husband in her eyes anymore.”

Gu Yicheng’s short sentence instantly attracted countless of discussions from the citizens, and no matter if it was male or female, they all criticized Yun Qianliang for it.

“Which family’s madam is this? Do you not understand?” Some men helped criticize him indignantly.

“Which family’s girl is so insensible?” There were women who hated a poor education.

“If I have such a wife, I will break her legs.”

Yun Qianliang smiled as if she had not heard anything. The criticisms of those who had nothing to do with him, were neither painful nor itchy to her.

In her years as an undercover spy, she had suffered much more abuse and humiliation than those words. Even when she came across her former companions, she had been met with swords and guns.

How could she, a person who walked through a barrage of bullets, be knocked down by a few words from someone else?

Yun Qianliang leisurely boarded the horse carriage, blocking out all the criticism and curses from the outside and instructing Liu An to drive.

In an era where men were inferior to women, they would never allow women to provoke their sovereignty. In fact, they were even afraid that women would turn over and blindly oppress them, and women were already so used to this kind of life that they would gradually forget about resisting. Instead, they would treat those who tried to change as unusual beings.

Yun Qianliang understood this, and became even more relieved.

Gu Yicheng saw that this trick was not effective and thought quickly. Before Liu An drove, he had already “entered” the room and openly occupied a seat in the horse carriage.

“If the Madam won’t accompany me, so will I.” Gu Yicheng laughed as if he had gotten away with something, tidied up his untidy clothes, and then left after a long time without seeing the carriage, he said to the outside: “Liu An, you can leave now.”

“Gu Yicheng, you must be really bored right?” Yun Qianliang no longer held that respectful attitude, and directly called him by her name.

“You must have the time to accompany Madam.” The person who had tidied up the clothes revealed a well-behaved appearance.

Yun Qianliang frowned, “I don’t need you to accompany me there.”

It was best not to disturb each other, lest they become entangled in the future and make things difficult for themselves.

“It doesn’t matter. I can barely treat it as you accompanying me if I stay by your side.” Gu Yicheng swiftly changed the topic, and rejected her several times, not showing any trace of anger. Instead, he repeatedly moved closer to her.

Yun Qianliang pursed her lips, shifting her gaze away and took a deep breath, her expression filled with impatience and disgust.

“Gu Yicheng, I don’t like to play with those empty games, if you have something to say, say it.” Yun Qianliang exhaled a breath of foul air, restraining the impatience in his heart, he revealed a serious expression, “I am your legal and proper wife, and according to our relationship, you and I should love each other, but you and I are well aware, since the name of this marriage exists, and I have already promised you that I will not leave you, at least when you still need me, you do not need to use such a method to tie me up.”

“Means?” Gu Yicheng squinted his eyes and stared at Yun Qianliang in danger.

“Your heart belongs to someone, yet you’ve suddenly changed your attitude towards me. Your words are ambiguous, and your actions are odd. Isn’t this method?” “You and I are trapped in cages and live together because of the imperial edict. I know you have someone you like, but you have to marry me because you have no choice. I will recognize my own identity, and take care of the right and wrong …”

“Wait a moment.” Gu Yicheng interrupted him.

Yun Qianliang kept quiet and did not say a word.

“From what you’re saying, I want to board two ships?” Gu Yicheng laughed and revealed the hidden meaning in her words.

This was a big misunderstanding.

“Yes.” Yun Qianliang answered firmly.

Although his words were not pleasant to hear, they were very suitable for his actions.

Gu Yicheng couldn’t help but curl his lips and laugh heartily.

His handsome face, when he smiled, was filled with benevolence and benevolence.

After a long while, when Yun Qianliang was about to fall out, Gu Yicheng finally stopped laughing.

Gu Yicheng forced himself to smile and asked: “When did you hear that I have a family?”

“I have eyes that I can see for myself.” A look of disdain appeared in Yun Qianliang’s eyes.

Love but do not dare to admit it, scum man do!

“Looks like your eyes aren’t as good as your ears.” Gu Yicheng smiled and got tired, he leaned on the side of the carriage and explained, “Wen Meng and I are not like how you see us.”
