"But today is the anniversary of my mother's death. Every year, I go to her grave to visit her.”Chen He said.
"Alright, I'll go with you." Gu Ci said and jumped into the carriage.
Gu Ci's heart was heavy the entire way. Did she have a good night's rest? She leaned against the carriage and staggered to take a nap. When she closed her eyes, she thought of Li Rui's sad eyes and the cold kiss that Li Rui had given her the night before she left. Gu Ci suddenly felt very sorrowful, and her heart felt like it was blocked by something. Chen He suddenly asked. "Didn't you rest well last night?"
Gu Ci opened her eyes. "No, I was thinking about something."
Suddenly, the coachman stopped the carriage. Gu Ci was the first to reach out and pull the curtain. "What's wrong?"
The coachman pointed the whip in front of him and said in a panic. "We've encountered bandits, what should we do? I've been driving on this road for so many years. Why would there be bandits here?”
Gu Ci's pupils narrowed when she heard the driver's words. Could it be that Chen Chuan and Aunt Qi had made their move so quickly? The people in the distance raised their knives and slowly surrounded her. Gu Ci was about to jump down but was pulled back by the people behind her. "Sit down and don't go out. We'll talk after we see the situation.”
Gu Ci turned around and said. "They're here for you, you should understand.”
"I know." Chen He said. Just as he was about to jump down, Gu Ci pulled him back. The brown pupils in his eyes looked breathtaking. "I'll handle it." She took out the wooden sword she carried with her and realized that it was a little inappropriate. She took the horsekeeper's whip and jumped down. She walked steadily towards the group of people. Seven or eight burly men slowly walked over and laughed." I didn't expect it to be a little girl."”
The few of them laughed loudly. Gu Ci looked at them and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, leave immediately. Go back and tell your master to give up on that little thought in his heart. Second, I will personally send you to prison.”
"I'm not choosing anything today. I'll choose you to come home and be my wife." A burly man leading the group said. The few of them made a scene again. "Let's not talk about how this woman can't do anything. We've completed our mission and still managed to pick up a woman.”
Gu Ci pulled the whip in her hand." It seems like you're going to do this the hard way.”
She pulled the whip and cursed at the dress under her." Damn, I'm wearing such a burden today.”
She looked at the few people in front of her and flipped over to kick the fat man in front of her. The fat man was angered and cursed at Gu Ci. He raised his knife and slashed at Gu Ci. Gu Ci turned sideways and kicked the fat man behind her. She lifted his leg and knelt down. The fat man cried out and his bones creaked as he rolled on the ground. The people beside him saw that the situation was not good and went up to him. Gu Ci dodged agilely. The self-defense skills that he had learned from Liu Changming came in handy at this time. A few kicks knocked a few people to the ground. she said sternly. "Why are you still not leaving? Do you really want me to send you to prison?”
The few of them picked up the fatty from before and ran away. Gu Ci stood there and watched the group of people disappear into the forest. She clapped her hands and walked to the carriage. Chen He pulled open the curtain and said. "I didn't know you were so skilled."
"It's alright." Gu Ci said as she jumped up and returned the whip to the driver. "It's fine. Just continue driving.”
"If you know who they are, why didn't you send them to jail?”Chen He asked.
"I know, but it's a long line to catch a big fish.”Gu Ci smiled playfully. "Actually, there are no so-called ghosts in your house. When I entered your house, I realized that there was no resentment in your house at all. It would be good to let these people pass on the message when he returned.”
"However, you shouldn't care about this. Since my family doesn't have these, you should leave early.”
"I'm just freeloading at your house. When I find the person I'm looking for and finish what I want to do, I'll do a ritual at your house and take it as a solution.”Gu Ci shrugged her shoulders." But I'm really curious about your family now. Chen He, are you sure you have an advantage over two people? I can help you. I treat you as a friend."
"Why are you helping me?" Chen He said.
Gu Ci said sadly. "Actually, our experiences are very similar. My parents died when I was young, and I lived alone for so many years. My days were very lonely and helpless. Just like your family. After your mother left, your father would remarry, but how much love could he give you? In such a big family, who is sincere to you?”At this point, Gu Ci beamed with joy. "However, you're very lucky. You'll meet a woman who loves you very much.”
"How do you know? Could it be that you can predict the future?”Chen He said. He smiled with narrowed eyes.
"That's right." Gu Ci said. "She's very beautiful and kind. She'll care about you very much. She would even die for you.
Her voice became hoarse. "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll continue sleeping.”
After Chen He's mother died, she was buried in her hometown according to her last wishes. After Chen He finished offering incense, he said to the still confused Gu Ci," Do you know how my mother died?”
Gu Ci shook her head and Chen He said. "My mother was my father's first wife. She was a very virtuous woman and was also my father's first wife. After my mother gave birth to me, she fell ill and was not in good health. My father did not want to see my mother marry a second wife and give birth to Chen Chuan. The second wife was doted on, and Chen Chuan was also doted on by him. However, he did not expect the second wife to go home to attend his father's funeral after his father died. She actually hung out with her childhood sweetheart and later found an excuse to keep him in the Chen family. The Second Mistress did not care about the Gu family's style and hung out with this person. After my mother found out, she told my father. My father executed the Second Mistress according to the rules, but the servants saw the Second Mistress hang herself in the room. Thus, the very young Chen Chuan lost his mother. He always thought that my mother had harmed her mother. There was once a time when he put arsenium in my mother's medicine. Fortunately, my mother didn't take much and was saved. But my mother still died of illness. Later, there was a saying that ghosts appeared in the house. Everyone said that they saw the second aunt in the garden. The fifth aunt had a child before. When she went out to enjoy the cool in the summer, she was scared and fainted. The child was also gone.”
"So, you know that Chen Chuan did it?”Gu Ci asked.
"I know." Chen He said. He looked at his current tombstone. "But before my mother died, she told me to be patient.”
"Your mother's consideration is one-sided. If you tolerate your brother but still insist on being aggressive, you will lose your life in the end.”Gu Ci said. "Besides, your brother's intention is very simple. Other than letting you die, he wants to get the Chen family's money.”
Chen He looked at Gu Ci with a smile and thought that her expression was really funny. Her tone was not as silent as before. "Alright, good friend, didn't you say that you would help me? It's getting late, we should go back.”With that, he slowly walked towards the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Gu Ci snapped her fingers behind him. He smiled. "Friend. I've dealt with one."
