Chapter 38: I’m Very Angry, Hmph! Coax Me

He wanted revenge for his family. In his past life, his entire family was ordered to be executed, leaving him as the only survivor. Yet, he ended up dying miserably in a brothel. After his death, he found himself reborn on the day of the massacre, escaping the disaster himself, but his family still suffered.

He swore to make this person pay the price.

The reason he’s here today is naturally to use the identity of the lord to infiltrate the Prime Minister’s mansion. But he didn’t expect Zhao Xian to also be on the carriage.

How is this possible? Clearly, in his past life, he heard that the lord was extremely unpopular, and even when he returned home, he was left alone for a month. Where did it go wrong now?

At this moment, the white lotus naturally didn’t know that he was not the only one who had come back again, and moreover, Zhao Xian had changed. Naturally, it couldn’t be the same as he knew before.

Although feeling a bit panicked, he continued to plead with a gentle voice, “Miss, sir, please take me in? I truly have nowhere else to go. I don’t want money, I just want a place to stay. Please, I beg of you.”

…

Inside the carriage, listening to the miserable voice outside, Zhao Xian’s mouth twitched. If she didn’t know this was a scam from the white lotus, she might have been moved.

But wasn’t it agreed to let the other party fend for themselves? She would naturally not approach him for no reason.

“Let’s go…” Zhao Xian spoke lightly as the carriage slowly moved on, continuing towards the direction of Anjun County, leaving behind the disheveled white lotus in the wind.

Why did it turn out like this? Didn’t these people see what a beauty he was?

…

Throughout the journey, Gu Tingshu remained silent and was a little angry.

He felt that Zhao Xian was too cold-blooded. A man was so weak and pitiful, yet she coldly abandoned him. Did she really regard people’s reputation as worthless? Then, how long could she treat him well?

Facing the occasional glances that came her way, Zhao Xian felt extremely embarrassed. Those eyes looked full of grievances no matter how she saw them.

“…” Zhao Xian was speechless. Why did she feel so guilty?

“Still angry?” Zhao Xian glanced at Gu Tingshu.

The carriage was about to arrive, and the other party hadn’t said a word to her, which meant he was definitely angry.

They have to spend their whole lives together. This wasn’t what she wanted.

As for divorcing her husband, she probably wouldn’t do it. That would be too pitiful for the man. In this world, men who have been divorced often don’t remarry and instead become monks directly.

“I wouldn’t dare. Prime Minister, whatever you decide is definitely right. As your legitimate husband, I naturally won’t say anything.” Gu Tingshu spoke softly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Still not saying anything? Isn’t this already starting to feel like emotional abuse?

Zhao Xian was at a loss. This kid was practically writing “villain” on her forehead.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh and cry as she said, “Idiot… Think carefully about that man just now. Didn’t you realize he was a liar? Those people were in cahoots with him. Think about it, how could such a remote place suddenly have such a coincidental scene of a bully harassing a man? And even if he was harassed, his clothes weren’t even ruffled. Is that possible?” After Zhao Xian finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized it, and even Gu Tingshu couldn’t help but be stunned.

That’s right! This is too strange. Either it was arranged in advance, or there was some purpose behind it.

In an instant, he thought of a possibility. Perhaps the other party wanted to enter the Prime Minister’s mansion. Such a handsome man, if he entered the Prime Minister’s mansion, wouldn’t a woman be tempted after spending some time with him?

Unconsciously, he glanced at Zhao Xian and couldn’t help but say with a smirk, “Even if that’s the case, bringing a beauty back home wouldn’t be bad! It would be a feast for the eyes, wouldn’t it?”
