Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726: Beyond Expectations
“Husband, you’re back?” Seeing Gu Ya, Su Yunjin’s eyes lit up with joy. Gu Ya saw Xue Chu and Hong Wu lying on the ground, and the people he arranged to protect his little wife were also injured, sprawled all over. Worried that his little wife might be hurt, Gu Ya quickly strode over to her.
Gu Ya’s face was tense, his eyes full of concern and worry, “Yun Niang, are you alright? Are you hurt?” As he spoke, Gu Ya examined his little wife up and down carefully. Seeing that she didn’t have any obvious wounds and looked fine, not hurt at all, Gu Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Gu, it’s my and Hong Wu’s fault for not protecting the lady properly, please punish us!” Xue Chu voluntarily admitted his responsibility, and Hong Wu followed, “Brother Gu, this time, Brother Xue and I almost got the lady caught, it’s our negligence. If you want to punish us, Brother Xue and I have no complaints.”
Xue Chu and Hong Wu had been injured several times to protect her, and this time they even got poisoned for her sake, yet Su Yunjin was completely unharmed.
Of course, she wouldn’t blame Xue Chu and Hong Wu, “Husband, I’m fine, not hurt at all. Brother Xue and Brother Hong protected me diligently, so don’t punish them.”
Gu Ya didn’t look at his little wife, instead, he questioned Xue Chu and Hong Wu.
“What exactly happened? Was it those assassins from yesterday again?” Gu Ya stared at Xue Chu and Hong Wu, his tone revealing that he was already convinced of his suspicion.
Xue Chu and Hong Wu automatically assumed that yesterday’s assassins were people from Prince Chu, so they both nodded, “Young master, those assassins from yesterday were definitely Prince Chu’s men. To think that Prince Chu could still pretend to be a good person in front of our lady, we were almost fooled by him!”
Prince Ning walked over at this moment, Xue Chu continued indignantly, “Young master, today Prince Chu sent more people, claiming to take the lady away. Originally, Brother Hong and I had already attacked the person till he was struggling, nearly capturing him. However, the man’s Qinggong skills are superb, dodging our every move, and later resorted to despicable poisoning. Brother Hong and I accidentally fell into his trap, got poisoned with his powder, and now we feel weak, without any strength at all.” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Xue Chu was furious. If it weren’t for being poisoned, he would have definitely taught that despicable man a good lesson today. How dare he use poison against them?
The next time he sees him, he will certainly make him taste the poison as well. Su Yunjin thought of last night’s incident. Yesterday, Gu Ya had said that those assassins were connected to Prince Chu, and it was her who didn’t believe and argued with Gu Ya. Now knowing Prince Chu’s conspiracy, Su Yunjin took the initiative to admit her mistake.
“Husband, I was wrong yesterday, I shouldn’t have doubted you.” Su Yunjin apologized as she looked at Gu Ya, but found Gu Ya frowning, seemingly deep in thought, as if he hadn’t heard her. Puzzled, she tugged at Gu Ya’s sleeve and called his name a couple of times tentatively, “Husband, husband.”
Gu Ya looked at his little wife.
And then he suddenly said something that left Su Yunjin dumbfounded.
“Yun Niang, those assassins from yesterday were not sent by Prince Chu.” Gu Ya said in a calm tone. Su Yunjin was first shocked, then filled with disbelief, “What? Those assassins from yesterday weren’t Prince Chu’s men? How could that be?” Su Yunjin didn’t believe it, and Xue Chu and Hong Wu didn’t believe it either.
