Chapter 153 Confession

He stared at Liu Yao's face in a daze, his handsome face turned red, his lips moved, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, he didn't know what to say.

The two of them were silent and didn't speak.

They just walked to the table in tacit understanding and drank the wine from the cup.

"you……"

"Miss Liu..."

They both spoke at the same time.

"What does Miss Liu want to say?"

Bai Yuanqing asked first.

"You should speak first, sir."

Miss Liu shook her head and let Bai Yuanqing speak first. He glanced at Liu Yao, turning his thoughts over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth. He really didn't want to continue lying to Liu Yao, so Bai Yuanqing confessed:

"Miss Liu, I'm sorry. Our people have already arrived at Nanfeng Village and brought all the people down the mountain. But please rest assured, Miss Liu, we haven't touched any of your people in Nanfeng Village. They are all alive and well..."

At first he was still stuttering because he felt guilty, but by the end he was clearly giving up on himself, and his explanations became faster and faster.

Liu Yao was stunned after hearing this, as if she didn't expect that Bai Yuanqing, who seemed to be a man of few words, would suddenly become a chatterbox at this moment.

Before Bai Yuanqing could finish speaking, Liu Yao, who had already come to her senses, lowered her eyes and looked at Bai Yuanqing who was still explaining hurriedly, and suddenly chuckled.

Bai Yuanqing froze, not knowing what Liu Yao was laughing at. He subconsciously thought that Liu Yao was sneering at him. His expression became more and more flustered, and he was no longer as calm as before. Until Liu Yao whispered in his ear: "Actually, I guessed what you wanted to do a long time ago. Don't blame you. I agreed to it."

Bai Yuanqing: "...what?"

"You could say that I just made a deal with Master Gu..."

Liu Yao stroked the red veil placed beside her, her eyes dim, and she sighed as she continued:

"…But it turned out that Master Gu won the bet."

Bai Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then he realized what was going on and asked, "What are you betting on?"

"I bet whether you will tell me the truth next time. I bet no, but Master Gu said yes. Obviously, Master Gu won. So the people I robbed a few days ago should have been taken down the mountain by Master Gu by now. I can't pursue anything further, after all, I lost the bet."

"You..." Bai Yuanqing only said one word and didn't know what to say. After all, these two people used him to gamble, what else could Bai Yuanqing say? What's more, Gu Junqing clearly guessed from the beginning that he would tell Liu Yao everything, which really caught him off guard.

His mind was a little confused now. After spending a quarter of an hour to organize his thoughts, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He really didn't know what to say, so Bai Yuanqing fell silent.

Then he realized it belatedly and his face, which had just cooled down with great difficulty, quickly turned red again.

He began to stutter again: "Then Miss Liu, does Miss Liu know?"

Know what?

When Liu Yao first heard these words, she didn't react to what Bai Yuanqing meant by "I know". But when she saw his flushed face and awkward attitude, she immediately reacted.

It turned out that he was asking her if she knew that Bai Yuanqing liked her. Liu Yao did not shy away from it, nodded, and said directly: "I know."

Then she smiled and said, "Very good, very good, we are in love, so I don't need to work so hard to pursue you, the county magistrate."

Bai Yuanqing was shocked by Liu Yao's blunt and explicit words. Then the tips of his ears turned red as if blood was dripping out. He was speechless and couldn't utter a word.

They started flirting here, and Gu Junqing finally managed to persuade the people to stay in the designated place. Gu Jiyan, who was at the foot of the mountain, just came up at this time. After seeing Gu Junqing and the group of people behind her, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to pat Gu Junqing on the shoulder, and said with a dandy smile:

"Hey, Gu Junqing, you guys are great. You let the county magistrate marry the head of Nanfeng Village, and then these people came back. It's really interesting. By the way, where is the county magistrate? Why hasn't he come out yet? Could it be..."

Before Gu Jiyan could finish the rest of the sentence, he was choked back by Gu Junqing's glare. The people present knew what was going on, but if they thought about it carefully, it was impossible, not to mention that Zhen Wei was watching them.

Gu Junqing saw that Gu Jiyan was no longer talking and then spoke:

"So far, we have to bring these people back. It's not snowing now, the temperature is still acceptable, and there's no one guarding down there, so Gu Jiyan, take them down with you."

Gu Jiyan: "Then what are you doing?"

Gu Junqing looked at Gu Jiyan with a strange look in his eyes and said, "I'm going to pick up the county magistrate. Do you think we should leave him alone in Nanfeng Village?"

That's too miserable.

Gu Junqing is not someone who would easily abandon his own people.

"Hurry up and leave! Don't just stand here and waste time!"

Gu Jiyan hesitated to speak: "..."

After saying this, Gu Junqing took Qingyi to Nanfeng Village again. Gu Jiyan stared blankly at Gu Junqing's back for a few seconds.

As soon as he realized what was happening, he asked, "Nanfeng Village is so dangerous, how can Gu Junqing take Qingyi up there alone? This is simply ridiculous!"

Be careful about what you say.

However, a commoner standing behind Gu Jiyan turned around immediately after hearing this. He was a young man, who was also brought down from Nanfeng Village by Gu Junqing. He seemed a little scared, but still whispered in a low voice behind Gu Jiyan:

"No, actually, the people in Nanfeng Village are very nice, especially their leader. She is not only beautiful, but also very kind to us. She gives us food when we want it and clothes to wear when we are cold..."

After hearing what the young man said, other people also echoed him in a low voice.

Gu Jiyan turned around and looked at the young man in confusion, and asked, "What do you mean? Weren't you guys robbed and kidnapped, and some of them were killed?"

This is the first reaction of someone who has heard a lot of rumors outside.

I don’t know how much Gu Jiyan heard.

The young man saw Gu Jiyan looking at him with a nervous look on his face, but he still told him everything that happened after their group entered Nanfeng Village.

"…On the first day after we were kidnapped by the people from Nanfeng Village, we were wondering if we would be killed. But after we saw their leader and she said she would not kill us, we never saw her again. She just gave us good food and clothes…"

Gu Jiyan did not doubt whether what the man said was a lie or not. After all, the people who followed the young man out later nodded when they heard what the young man said, indicating that he was right.

Gu Jiyan reluctantly believed it, and hurriedly took these people away.
