"What happened to you last night?"

Fan Tong's cold voice pierced the silence in the darkness.

Gu Honglian trembled for no reason when she thought of what happened in the alley last night, and couldn't help but lean towards Fan Tong again.

Fan Tong felt Gu Honglian's trembling, and he was convinced that Gu Honglian had concealed from him the fact that she had lost her virginity last night, and that Gu Honglian was feeling guilty.

Gu Honglian didn't want to recall last night, nor did she want Fan Tong to know that she was a cruel murderer.

Even though she was doing it out of self-protection.

When she thought of last night, her heart was in suspense.

From the moment she woke up until now, all her attention has been on Fan Tong. When Fan Tong asked this question, Gu Honglian's eyes flashed with the bloody head from last night again.

Although Tong Huaqiong and Old Lady Min both said that Gu Honglian was fine and would not be arrested by the government.

Even if the matter is exposed, Mrs. Min will come forward to protect her.

Gu Honglian was still worried.

She was worried that the exposure of the matter would have a bad impact on Fan Tong. After all, Fan Tong was a scholar and would become an official in the future. She was afraid that the exposure of her affairs would become a stain on Fan Tong and a handle for him to be attacked.

"What's wrong?" Fan Tong asked.

Gu Honglian trembled, her hands climbing onto Fan Tong's neck, suppressing her fear and saying, "Husband, nothing happened last night. After we got separated, I... I couldn't find you, so I went back to my sister-in-law's house."

Fan Tong is so timid that he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken.

It’s better not to let Fan Tong know what happened in the alley last night.

Fan Tong pushed Gu Honglian away and sneered, "You feel guilty, so you don't dare to say it?"

Gu Honglian widened her eyes in the dark night.

Is she guilty?

She pierced the gangster's neck and hit his head, and she was indeed guilty.

But she was forced to resist. If she did nothing, losing her virginity would be a small matter, but losing her life would be a big matter.

Now she has succeeded in fighting back with her own ability, and has neither lost her virginity nor her life. What is there for her to feel guilty about?

Gu Honglian asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Fan Tong sneered and said, "Go ahead and keep pretending."

"Stop pretending. Did you meet some gangsters in the alley last night?" Fan Tong said expressionlessly in the darkness.

Gu Honglian was confused by the question.

After realizing what was happening, I thought to myself, could it be that Fan Tong was angry because I didn't tell him what happened in the alley yesterday?

Yes, Fan Tong had been looking for her for a whole day and night. He must have felt sorry for her and was angry that she didn't tell the truth.

No wonder he was so cold to her all night. It was because he thought she didn’t trust Fan Tong enough.

Yes, there should be no secrets between husband and wife.

Gu Honglian said: "I did encounter a gangster, and I killed him in return and was able to escape home. I was terrified and didn't know what to do. I don't know how I got home. But my sister-in-law said that I did a good thing. It's not my fault that I encountered such a thing, but the gangster's."

Gu Honglian simply said that she encountered criminals in the alley, without describing the specific details.

Firstly, she didn't want to recall the past, and secondly, she didn't want Fan Tong to feel more guilty for not keeping her safe. After all, it was she who wanted to enjoy the lanterns, and it was she who let him go.

No matter how you blame it, it’s not Fan Tong’s fault.

"I didn't mean to hide what happened in the alley from you, but it has already happened and there is no point blaming yourself. What's more, I came back safely." Gu Honglian said softly.

Fan Tong was so angry that his heart was beating fast. If the Fan family knew about this, he would have to choose between being drowned in a pond or being put in a pig cage.

He didn't even know that Gu Honglian was more shameless than he thought.

The Gu family was also shameless. They knew clearly what Gu Honglian had done in the alley, but they didn't feel guilty towards him at all. Not only did they not feel guilty, they also acted so confidently when they instigated Gu Honglian.

Are you treating him like a coward?

Fan Tong's increasingly cold voice rang out: "Gu Honglian, you don't even know how dirty you are right now, and you're still pretending in front of me. Do you think I don't know what happened in the alley yesterday?"

What does it mean how dirty she is?

Did Fan Tong dislike the fact that her hands were stained with the blood of the criminals?

She killed someone and her hands were stained with blood, so she became dirty?

Why didn't Fan Tong ask her how she could protect herself in that situation without penetrating the other person?

She finally understood that Fan Tong didn't care about her at all, but was questioning her instead.

Gu Honglian said, "Fan Tong, what do you mean?"

Fan Tong was furious. He had made his words so clear, why was Gu Honglian still pretending? So he said, "You are shameless. You have no shame at all after something like that happened. You even bring up your sister-in-law. You listen to your sister-in-law in everything. I think you learned this shamelessness from following your sister-in-law."

Gu Honglian was confused. What kind of word is this shameless?

Gu Honglian couldn't understand Fan Tong's train of thought and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense in front of me. As a man, you didn't stay by my side to protect me. You left me alone in the alley. If I didn't do that, I would have died. How come I'm dirty in your mouth? What's dirty about me?"

Even the mighty general's mother, Old Lady Min, praised her behavior last night as a heroine worthy of praise.

Hearing Gu Honglian's self-righteous excuses, Fan Tong was so angry that he almost went numb.

Gu Honglian was indeed a crude and wild girl from the countryside. She simply couldn't understand what people said and didn't understand that a woman's reputation was more important than her life.

"Starving to death is a minor matter, but losing your chastity is a major one. In that situation, shouldn't you have defended your chastity to the death and refused to let the criminals succeed? I am a scholar, and as my wife, how can I hold my head up high in the future if you lose your chastity?"

"You still have the nerve to pretend in front of me. I find your body, which has been used by criminals, dirty."

Fan Tong accused harshly.

He was furious when he thought that Tong Huaqiong and others had already known that Gu Honglian had lost her virginity in the alley and had helped Gu Honglian hide it from him.

He was so angry that he didn't even want to live in this room anymore and wanted to move out to join Prince Ning overnight.

Gu Honglian finally understood that Fan Tong thought she was raped by a gangster in the alley.

In the dark night, Gu Honglian was so angry that she became speechless.

Fan Tong did not ask her how she escaped from the criminals, but instead accused her of losing her virginity to the criminals.

Gu Honglian was so angry at this time that she didn't even pay attention to Fan Tong who had never left the alley. He heard Gu Honglian's cry for help but let her fight the criminals alone.

"Do you think I was killed by the criminals..." Gu Honglian couldn't continue.

Fan Tong said confidently, "Why? Do I have to make it so clear? Am I wrong? You, a little girl, fell into the hands of criminals. If you didn't use your body in exchange, how could you escape?"

Gu Honglian was shivering and crying, "Fan Tong, you are slandering my innocence. I didn't do anything! You asked me how I escaped? I pierced the criminal's throat with a hairpin..."

"You're still quibbling. Do you believe this?"

Fan Tong simply didn't believe that a little girl could beat the gangster.

He just chose to quibble and conceal the truth in order to continue to protect his wife's position.

Unfortunately, he is Fan Tong, not a lazy idiot who can’t think.
