Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

She didn't look like she was joking, as if if anyone did something dishonest again, she would chop off that person's hand. Her majestic aura frightened the onlookers around her and made them tremble.

The woman in purple begged Gu Qingyuan to let her go, saying that she would never dare to do it again. However, Gu Qingyuan just watched coldly as she was taken away. The board fell on her and knocked her unconscious in a few hits.

There were nails on the board, and when it fell on her, it brought up a pool of blood. After splashing cold water on her to wake her up, the person in charge of the execution continued to beat her with the remaining dozen or so boards.

The woman in blue looked at Gu Qingyuan gratefully while holding the silver and wiped away her tears.

Maybe this one or two taels of silver is not much for the young master, but for her, it is something they have saved for a long time, and she would be very happy to get it back.

After resolving the dispute, Gu Qingyuan let the servants who were watching disperse and do their own things.

Then, Gu Qingyuan returned to the yard to continue practicing martial arts. Chunfen did not dare to disturb her and went aside to leave room for her.

On the other side, after General Gu and his party arrived at Xiancheng, they immediately went to check the surrounding situation.

On the balcony, a man wearing half a mask stood there.

He looked to be in his twenties. There was a man kneeling below him, reporting the situation to him.

"Your Majesty, the Daning Kingdom has sent their General Gu Ruotian and Princess Wen Danyue. They have arrived in Xiancheng today."

The masked man nodded and glanced in the direction of Xiancheng. "Xiancheng? It will be much easier to attack Daning Kingdom after we capture it."

"But Your Majesty, I heard that General Dingguo of Daning Kingdom has almost never lost a battle. If we fail this time..."

“It won’t fail!”

The man interrupted him directly, "Taking over Daning Kingdom is only the first step. What I want is for the entire world to belong to my Southern Border."

The wind blew his hair and there was ambition on his face.

From the day he ascended the throne by stepping on the corpses of his brothers, he made up his mind to become the only king in the world.

The Daning Kingdom is a country where women are respected, which is simply a joke.

He went to the battle personally and had made all the necessary preparations.

The people of southern Xinjiang are good at using poison, and he has secretly had people prepare weapons, so this time, he will definitely win.

……

Gu Qingyuan didn't notice anything unusual in the general's mansion for several days. Just when she was wondering if she was worrying too much, someone finally couldn't sit still.

A somewhat unfamiliar figure came up to her and said to her on the street, "Young Master Gu, our princess invites you."

Gu Qingyuan turned around to look at that person and asked her, "Which princess?"

"It's the Four Princesses."

Thinking carefully, he and the Fourth Princess had no connection at all. Gu Qingyuan curled his lips slightly and asked, "If you don't tell me clearly what your Fourth Princess wants to see me about, I won't go over."

The palace servant seemed a little embarrassed. "Master Gu, I am just a messenger. Please don't embarrass me."

"You didn't even tell me what happened. Is this how you, the princess, invite people over? I think you are making things difficult for a weak and helpless young master like me."

The palace maid looked at Young Master Gu, who was a head taller than her, in disbelief. Is this what you call weak and helpless?

Gu Qingyuan wanted to avoid her, but the palace maid knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"Please, Master Gu. The Fourth Princess said that if I don't bring you here today, she will chop off my head when I return. Please, Master Gu, come with me."

Gu Qingyuan said expressionlessly: "What does your life or death have to do with me?"

Such cold words came out of her mouth, and the palace maid's face was full of disbelief.

The Fourth Princess had thought about plotting against or kidnapping Gu Qingyuan, but she was extremely vigilant and had killed the people she sent to follow her several times, so she couldn't find her.

Otherwise, Gu Qingyuan would find out that I wanted to harm her.

Gu Qingyuan took a few steps forward and saw a young woman appear.

The man smiled and said, "It seems that the young master is really difficult to invite. I need to come in person."

Gu Qingyuan frowned and looked at the woman in front of him.

I guess she is the fourth princess.

"Young Master, don't be so quick to refuse. What if I tell you that the matter I want to see you about is related to General Gu?"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Qingyuan suddenly approached her and questioned her.

Her mother just took the troops to Xiancheng, why would the Fourth Princess mention her mother?

The Fourth Princess saw her reaction and then said slowly, "Tomorrow at 3:15 PM, I'll be waiting for Young Master Gu at Weixian Pavilion. We'll see you there."

Weixian Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Beijing, and it is also where Gu Qingyuan and Chunfen went last time.

The Fourth Princess knew that Gu Qingyuan would come. Since it concerned General Gu, she couldn't help but care.

After the Fourth Princess and the palace maid left, Gu Qingyuan felt a little confused.

There was no news from her mother during this period. Logically, after her mother arrived in Xiancheng, she would write to herself to let her know that she had arrived.

She didn't want to stand outside anymore, so she went straight back to Gu's house.

The first thing she did was to go to General Gu's yard and ask, "Did my mother send any letter back today?"

The others in General Gu's yard shook their heads.

Even the young master didn’t receive General Gu’s letter, let alone them.

Gu Qingyuan left General Gu's yard and returned to his own yard.

When she returned, she saw a man standing under the eaves in the yard.

"Little Lord."

Ji Mingzhao was very happy to see her.

He had already changed into the clothes that Gu Qingyuan had made for him, and his belly looked even more obvious.

The corners of his eyes were upturned, with an unstoppable smile, and his pair of dark and bright eyes were full of tenderness.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Qingyuan grabbed his wrist and brought him inside. Even though it was so hot, he stood under the eaves waiting for her, not afraid of the heat.

When Ji Mingzhao heard her ask him this, he began to feel uneasy again.

The young master said that he could come over when he missed her. He hadn't seen her for half a month and wanted to hear her voice. But as soon as he arrived, he heard the servants in her yard say that she had gone out.

Ji Mingzhao had been waiting for her here. She asked him why he came here and whether he didn't welcome her.

Ji Mingzhao was grabbed by her wrist. He lowered his head to look at her hand holding his wrist and said, "I...I want to see the young master, so...so I came here. If I disturb the young master, I will go back now."

As he said this, he tried to struggle to leave.

Gu Qingyuan pushed him down to sit, helpless.

"Since we're here, why should we go back?"

She poured Ji Mingzhao a cup of cold tea, and seeing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, she raised her sleeve to wipe it for him, but he shook his head and said, "Don't dirty the young master's clothes."

Then, Ji Mingzhao took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands.

Just now her hand touched his forehead, and he wanted to wipe it for her.
