Chapter 1702: Chapter 1703: Estrangement Between Husband and Wife
Gu Ya looked at his little wife in his arms, she almost lost her life today while she was out, and she still hasn’t learned her lesson? She still claims that it’s not frightening? Does she really have to get hurt or find trouble outside to understand fear?
Su Yunjin felt a pang of guilt as Gu Ya stared at her, and her back was cold with sweats. Just as she thought Gu Ya might get angry with her again, unexpectedly, he poked her forehead with his finger and sighed helplessly, “You.” The little woman in his arms never gave him a moment of peace.
With him protecting her, he wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
“Husband, actually… actually, I was a bit frightened by today’s events too.” Su Yunjin admitted her fear truthfully after speaking out of turn.
Gu Ya chastised his woman with a dark expression, “Afraid yet reckless?” He had warned his little wife not to go out before he left, as home was the safest place right now. Around the Gu Family were people he arranged to protect his little wife. These people had good martial skills and were quite astute; their presence was enough to ensure safety for his little wife and the two children in the house.
She had explained the reasons to Gu Ya, yet he still said she was reckless? Su Yunjin felt a bit annoyed and retorted, “Husband, I’m not being reckless, I went out to do serious business.” She was out handling important matters today, and the Shopkeeper Liu she caught was still locked up in their house!
Shopkeeper Liu had already handed over the physical evidence, and the gold and poison given by Leng Jingxian and her two servants. With these evidences and Shopkeeper Liu as a witness, they could fully prove that Leng Jingxian and her servants were the ones responsible for the poisoning, “Husband, Shopkeeper Liu is now staying in our house, do you want to go take a look with me?” The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
Su Yunjin planned to take Gu Ya to see that Shopkeeper Liu, showing him the witnesses and physical evidence she had personally found, so he wouldn’t keep saying she was reckless.
Let Gu Ya see what she accomplished.
Gu Ya wouldn’t keep saying she was reckless anymore.
Leng Jingxian and her servants had already been captured, and wouldn’t cause any more trouble. Right now, Gu Ya wasn’t taking Leng Jingxian and her servants seriously. What concerned him now were the assassins in black who attempted to assassinate his little wife in town today, and he needed to quickly uncover the identities of those killers to ensure his little wife’s safety.
“Yunjin, who do you think would have arranged the people to assassinate you in town today?” Gu Ya asked his little wife while pondering the answer himself.
Su Yunjin had thought about it during the day, but she couldn’t figure out who could have done it. She shook her head at Gu Ya and said, “Husband, I don’t know.”
Gu Ya pondered for a moment.
“Yunjin, would those men in black who tried to assassinate you today have been sent by the Prince of Chu?” Except for the Prince of Chu, who could have the power to hire such a highly skilled group of assassins to target his little wife?
Su Yunjin thought of how the Prince of Chu had saved her life today and instinctively said, “Impossible, it couldn’t have been arranged by the Prince of Chu.” Su Yunjin was confident, and Gu Ya didn’t expect his little wife to trust the Prince of Chu like that; he was momentarily stunned and asked, “Yunjin, why are you so sure it’s not the Prince of Chu?”
“I—!” Before Su Yunjin could finish speaking, Gu Ya continued, “Yunjin, don’t forget who sent people to try and abduct you the day before.”
