Chapter 138 (Confession Bureau)
The guard's inadvertent words caused Shen Mushen to lose sleep until dawn. When Gu Chaochao arrived, he saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Compared with him, she was so refreshing.
As soon as Shen Mushen saw her in high spirits, she felt irritated: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"...Not very well." Gu Chaochao said implicitly.
Shen Mu sneered: "Today is a quarter of an hour later than yesterday. If you didn't sleep well, why did you come so late, or are you trying to perfunctory me?"
Gu Chaochao: "..." Sure, this bad guy is looking for trouble .
She was silent, making Shen Mushen feel a little unreasonable, but he hadn't slept all night, and when he closed his eyes, it was like she was rubbing his ears with that maid, and he didn't want to restrain his temper at this moment: "Yes, Young Master Gu is charming. With my concubine by my side, I naturally sleep better than a loner like me."
"General, are you unwell?" Gu Chaochao could no longer pretend to be dead.
Shen Mu raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I'm not pretending to be dumb just now, why, when I mention your woman, you can't sit still?"
Gu Chaochao laughed dryly: "Nothing, I just care about the general. "
If you really care about me, don't just talk about it, do more to please me." Shen Mushen was somewhat immune to her flattery.
Gu Chaochao blinked: "Then tell me, what can I do to please you?"
Shen Mushen looked at her with sharp eyes: "Do you want me to say it?"
Gu Chaochao intuited that what he was about to say was not a good thing, and he was about to say something nice. After saving two sentences, he suddenly said, "Then send your maid out of Mining City, you will never see each other again in this lifetime."
Gu Chaochao's expression suddenly cracked.
She guessed that Shen Mushen was going to find fault, and she knew that he didn't like the smell of Chanjuan's rouge, but she didn't expect that when he found fault, he would find Chanjuan, and he would send people away even if he opened his mouth.
Shen Mu saw her expression deeply, and once again thought of what the guard said yesterday, her face became more and more ugly: "Why, I can't bear it?"
"...Chanjuan has followed Xiaoxiao since she was a child, and she has a strong relationship with Xiaoxiao for so many years. There is really no way to let go." Gu Chaochao said with a dry smile.
Shen Mushen narrowed his eyes: "So, you are going to disobey me?"
Gu Chaochao hurriedly knelt down: "I dare not."
"Don't dare? How dare I look at you?" After a moment of anger, you can see her attitude, and suddenly she became determined: "Today you have to make a decision, either send her out of Mining City City, never see her again in this life, or this general will kill her personally, choose. "
General..."
"Give you three counts of time, one..." Shen Mushen could not refuse.
Gu Chaochao smiled bitterly.
"Two," Shen Mushen spoke again, seeing her biting her lower lip and refusing to speak, her mood was extremely bad, "If I count to three and you dare to resist, then you don't have to live."
Gu Chaochao pulled the corner of his lips . , I don't know how to take his words.
"Three! Tell me, what do you want?" Shen Mu said with a sullen face.
Gu Chaochao took a breath and said helplessly: "General, you also know that I am a woman, and Chanjuan and I are only sisters, so why eat this vinegar."
Her voice was very soft, but it was like a ticking time bomb. Shen Mushen's brain turned into a paste.
The arrogant general in the past was rarely stunned on the spot. After a long time, he suddenly stood up: "Who are you talking about eating jealousy!"
Gu Chaochao didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and was immediately taken aback: "I, I eat!
" Give me your tongue!" Shen Mu was so angry that his chest almost exploded, "When did you know I knew the truth?!"
"Just when you asked me to wear women's clothes," Gu Chaochao saw him approaching, he couldn't help but slowly move back, "it may have been earlier, Xiao originally just speculated, or gradually realized in the past two days. It 's here..."
"So you always knew," Shen Mushen sneered, "Gu Chao, you are really good, and you actually tricked this general twice!
" Self-defense..." As Gu Chaochao spoke, Shen Mushen had already taken down the sword from the wall beside the bed, she shivered, stood up and hid behind the pillar, "General, calm down! Listen to Xiao's explanation first.
" What is there to explain, the first time you lied to General Ben, I can treat you as a last resort, and the second time to lie to General Ben, what is the reason?" Shen Mushen held a long sword and approached with a dark face, " Come out for me!" " It's time for the fool to go out. Gu Chaochao was speechless for a moment, and ducked around the pillar: "The second time Xiaoxiao lied to the general, in fact, it was to save his life. The general said all day that he would kill Xiaoxiao, can you not be afraid of Xiaoxiao?" "Sophistry! If you beg for mercy, How could I be such an unreasonable person?!" Shen Mushen walked around the pillar. Gu Chaochao hurriedly ran behind the other pillar and stuck his head out from the pillar: "The general is not a very unreasonable person, but the young man has indeed lied to the general, and the young man has a guilty conscience, how dare he admit to begging for mercy." Shen Mushen Squinting his eyes: "It's all excuses!" Gu Chaochao: "..." If you think so, there is nothing I can do. There was a stalemate in the atmosphere for a second, she cleared her throat and laughed dryly: "General, can you spare Xiao this time for the sake of serving you for many days?" "Get out." Shen Mushen also realized He couldn't catch up with her with a limp, so he just stood there. Gu Chaochao dared to come out. Facing his persecution, he shrank his shoulders and said cautiously, "The general promises not to kill me, so I will go out." "You still dare to bargain with me?" Bruised.
Gu Chaochao was almost scared to death, remembering the fate of the assassin earlier, he couldn't help shrinking behind the pillar again.
"If you don't get out, I'll ask the guards to come in." Shen Mu's face was expressionless, and his tone suddenly calmed down.
Gu Chaochao wasn't very scared when he was usually violent, but he was so calm now that she couldn't help sweating on her back every time she saw it.
Once the guards come in, I'm afraid there is no room for manoeuvre. Gu Chaochao struggled for a long time, but in the end he came out from behind the pillar tremblingly: "General..."
"Come here." Shen Mushen pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and the morning sun shone on the blade, with a coldness Light.
Gu Chaochao swallowed and took a step forward silently.
"Gu, Chao." Shen Mushen called her word by word.
Gu Chaochao had no choice but to move forward again.
After taking a few steps with difficulty, she happened to reach the front of the incense burner table, and she could no longer walk. Shen Mushen didn't need her to go either, so he grabbed a sword flower, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at her throat.
Gu Chaochao raised his lower jaw subconsciously, trying to tighten his neck and get further away from the sword, but he never thought that this would only expose the dead end more.
"...General, if you have something to say, you must be firm." Gu Chaochao reminded.
Shen Mu stared at her expressionlessly: "You're very proud of me watching me like a clown these days?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth, General!" If it wasn't for the sword being pointed at her neck, she would have wanted to throw herself directly on the ground. The shrew cried, "I always respect the general as a reborn parent in my heart, how could I make fun of the general!"
"How many truths do you have now with your mouth?" Shen Mu deeply did not believe her.
Gu Chaochao cried: "Besides concealing his identity, he is sincere to the general and never dares to lie."
"But I don't believe you." The more Shen Mushen thought about it, the more angry he became.
Seeing that he was about to start having a seizure again, Gu Chaochao was so nervous: "How can I prove it?"
"Prove it?"
In the past, Gu Chaochao's face changed, and he stepped back subconsciously, but unexpectedly bumped into the table behind him, and lost his balance for a while. She instinctively went to help, but she forgot that there was an incense burner on the table, and accidentally burned her hand.
Shen Mushen was just trying to scare her, but who would have guessed that such a thing would happen, when he reacted and shoved the person over, Gu Chaochao's right palm had been burned with a small blister.
"Back what?!" He looked at a round blister on her red palm, and his voice suddenly became severe.
Gu Chaochao was about to die unjustly: "If you don't kill me, how can I retreat!"
"How dare you talk back?" Shen Mushen narrowed his eyes.
Gu Chaochao: "..." He almost forgot his situation.
After a quarter of an hour, the two of them sat side by side on the foot of the bed.
Shen Mu lowered her eyes and rubbed the medicine for her, and wrapped a thin gauze on it: "Originally, this kind of small injury didn't need to be wrapped, but you are too rash, so you should wrap it with something to avoid You burst the blisters, and you want to come and cry with me again."
Gu Chaochao looked at him with concentration, only to feel that this person's mood was like the weather in June, the rain poured down and the sky was clear in just an instant.
As soon as Shen Mushen raised his head, he met her inquiring gaze, and immediately asked displeasedly, "What are you looking at?"
"General, your hand hurts."
Shen Mu snorted deeply: "The blisters haven't burst yet, what's the pain?"
"It just hurts, it's hot, it feels like the meat is being fried in an oil pan." Gu Chaochao continued to be wronged.
She said it with sincerity, and Shen Mushen couldn't help frowning: "Does it really hurt so much?"
"Yeah!" Gu Chaochao lied without changing his face. In fact, after the cold ointment was applied to his hands, he no longer felt anything.
Seeing her nodding deeply, Shen Mu frowned more tightly: "Could it be that I burst the blisters when I bandaged?" After that, he was about
to untie it.
Gu Chaochao hurriedly avoided: "It's not broken or not, it's just my skin and tender flesh, I'm just afraid of pain."
Shen Mu gave a deep finger and raised his eyes to examine her.
Gu Chaochao was stared at with a guilty conscience. He coughed dryly and was about to say something when he heard Shen Mu say coldly: "Gu Chaochao, it's fun to play with people?
" Refuting, just to please a smile, "I just like the general to care about me."
If she continued to quibble, Shen Mushen would be able to grab her and rectify it again, but when she confessed her thoughts like this, he didn't know what to do. .
There was a brief silence in the room, Gu Chaochao considered for a moment, and carefully pulled Shen Mushen's sleeve with his uninjured hand.
"What?" Shen Mushen's tone was not very good.
"In fact, these days when I was young, I actually had a bad time." She whispered.
Shen Mu's brows moved slightly, but he didn't answer her.
"The general treats the younger very well. The younger one knows it, so he is even more uneasy. He feels very guilty every day. I wish I could tell the general the truth earlier." The young are too greedy for life and fear of death, so they look forward and backward all day and dare not say much. After missing the best opportunity, one day later the risk is bigger, and the youngest is too afraid of death, and gradually loses the courage to confess.
" I don't have any points, I know that I have never been good to you, and I am afraid that I will be deceived by your words." Shen Mu said coldly.
Gu Chaochao: "..." Then you can't have no points?
Shen Mushen saw her expression, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Gu Chaochao observed his words and looked, and realized that he was not angry, he became more and more sincere: "General, I know I'm wrong, so please forgive me this time. If I knew at the inn that I would have so much fate with the general in the future, I said Nothing..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Mushen's eye knife was delivered, and she immediately shut up.
She shut up, but Shen Mushen didn't intend to let her go like this: "Nothing?"
"...I won't leave a name and run away, but I will tell the general frankly and ask the general for help." Gu Chaochao knew each other. I swallowed the phrase 'I won't sleep with you'.
Shen Mushen didn't hear the words he hated, and his expression softened a lot with a light snort.
"General, can you see that you have done your best in these days, and spared this time?" Gu Chaochao continued to please.
Shen Mu deeply ignored her.
"General~" Gu Chaochao read out the two words in a nine-sentence and eighteen-sentence tone.
Shen Mushen immediately disliked it: "Is it disgusting?"
"Can you spare the little life?" Gu Chaochao continued to ask.
Shen Mu gave her a deep look: "It's not impossible."
Gu Chaochao knew that he had the conditions, and quickly expressed his attitude: "... Chanjuan has always been dependent on Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao really can't send her away. "
Shen Mushen didn't intend to mention Chanjuan, but when she heard her take the initiative to say it, she was still in a bad mood.
Seeing that his expression was not very good, Gu Chaochao realized that he was in a hurry, and after thinking for a moment, he changed his words: "The Gu family now has hundreds of shops in Miningzhou City, all relying on Chanjuan to help look at the ledger and check the goods, a small talent. I've been with you all day, if she leaves, I'm afraid she'll be exhausted in business, and it will be extremely difficult to find time to see the general in the future."
Her words were from Shen Mushen's point of view, as if she kept Chanjuan just for the sake of it. In order to spend more time with him, although Shen Mushen knew that she was playing with the spear, she felt much more comfortable: "I'm not an unreasonable person, since you want to keep her, then keep her."
"Thank you, General," Gu Chaochao didn't dare to show too much joy. After thanking him lightly, he brought the topic back to the previous topic, "Then dare to ask the general, what should the young man do before you are willing to forgive him?
" Then it's up to you." Shen Mu said with a deep meaning.
Gu Chaochao looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "Understood."
After that, he got up from his feet, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed: "General, come on."
Shen Mushen: "..."
Gu Chaochao Lying on his back, but he didn't wait for someone to come over, he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, only to meet Shen Mushen's speechless eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, then sat up a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not," Shen Mu said with a stern face, "Who do you think of General Ben?" She went straight to the bed, thanks to her being able to figure it out .
"What does the general want?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
Shen Mu took a deep look at her: "When I come back to the mansion tomorrow, I will wear women's clothes, and I will take off the strap on my chest. What does it look like when it is tied up all day."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
"Why, you Not willing?" Shen Mushen wanted to threaten again.
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a long time, and asked dryly: "How does the general know that the little chest is tied?"
Shen Mushen: "..."
"Did the general touch him after he passed out that day!" Gu Chaochao glared at him .
Shen Mushen looked away, and said impatiently, "If you didn't sense something was wrong, who would touch you."
"If you say it so justly, why are your ears red?" Gu Chaochao broke him.
Shen Mushen sat stiffly on the feet, with his back to her and motionless.
Gu Chaochao was slightly proud: "General, stop pretending, I can see it all, you must have some thoughts about me, otherwise you wouldn't be jealous of Chanjuan, no wonder you went to the brothel yesterday, you were in such a bad mood, I think it was because I was with me. Other sisters..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Mushen had already picked up the sword again.
Gu Chaochao: "..."
"Speak, go on." Shen Mu said slowly.
Gu Chaochao cleared his throat and pretended to be stupid: "What did you say? You didn't say anything just now."
Shen Mu gave a deep snort and quickly put the sword into the scabbard: "Get off the bed for me."
Gu Chaochao smiled . , quickly jump down and put on your shoes.
The two chased and fought for so long, nothing else was done, and most of the noon had passed. Gu Chaochao stayed to eat as usual, and after sitting down with Shen Mushen, he began to immerse himself in eating.
The two of them seemed to be no different from before, but the atmosphere changed again, especially Gu Chaochao, who was relaxed and even ate an extra bowl of rice.
"Very happy?" Shen Mushen asked suddenly.
Gu Chaochao nodded: "Well, I'm very happy." A big stone in his heart was put down directly. If he knew that he would let him go so easily, he should have admitted it earlier.
No, the two of them didn't have much friendship at the beginning. If she admitted it at that time, I was afraid that he would kill her neatly. This time is just right now. He knew her identity a few days in advance. The most angry time has passed. She also pleases for a few more days, adding some chips to herself, so that everyone can have a happy ending.
"What are you thinking?" Shen Mushen asked again.
"I miss you." Gu Chaochao opened his mouth and came.
Shen Mu paused for a while, displeased: "I'm right in front of you, what can I think about?"
"How can it be the same? I look at you and miss you, and at the same time I have you in my eyes, I also have you in my heart." Gu Chaochao Once the identity is exposed, the Basic Law will not be taught any more, and it will just coax people to be happy.
Shen Mushen obviously liked this set, the corners of his lips curled up a few times and reluctantly smoothed, and finally handed the bowl to her: "Sheng rice."
"Okay!" Gu Chaochao took it diligently.
After the two of them finished their meal in harmony, they practiced walking as before.
After this period of hard work, Shen Mushen has been able to walk for a long time. Occasionally, he has a high temperament, and his speed is no different from that of ordinary people. However, the disability of his right foot is lifelong. Although he can walk now, he will be lame all his life.
It's a bit of a pity, but at least there is no need for amputation, and it is a good thing that Jingzhong can't dismiss him from his official position on the grounds of incompleteness.
Gu Chaochao walked with Shen Mushen for a while, and then took some food in his room, and then said goodbye.
"What did you forget tomorrow?" Shen Mushen reminded lazily.
Gu Chaochao thought for a while: "I know, don't forget to wear women's clothes," he said with a frown, "But if you don't have women's clothes, why don't you..."
"If you dare to wear that open room, I'll shoot you out." Shen Mushen interrupted directly.
Gu Chaochao looked innocent: "Then what should I do if I didn't?"
"I'll buy it for you." Shen Mushen said involuntarily.
This is what Gu Chaochao wanted, and he hurriedly left after thanking him with a smile.
Shen Mushen stood in the room and watched her back until it disappeared, only to realize that he had been fooled by her again.
"Liar," he said through gritted teeth, but there was no anger on his face.
For a long time, he briefly recalled Gu Chaochao's figure in his mind, wrote down some of the dimensions with a pen, and then called the guard in: "Go to the best clothing store in the city and buy some women's dresses according to this." The
guard was puzzled . He took it and was about to leave when Shen Mushen stopped him again: "Have you ever been married?
"
"Then go to someone who has been married," Shen Mushen gave him a disgusting look after saying that, "You don't know what to buy." The
guard was speechless for a moment, then went out after agreeing.
There wasn't much else in the General's Mansion, but there were many bachelors and very few married people. He searched around and finally found the head of the concierge. The concierge took the size with a surprised look: "The general doesn't have a woman, so why should you buy
a dress?" "Don't ask if you shouldn't!"
The concierge repeatedly agreed, took the things and went out. It happened that he met his daughter-in-law who was working in the Gu Mansion on the way, so he talked briefly, and the daughter-in-law asked casually, "What are you going to do?"
"Buy some for the general. Skirt." The porter replied.
Wife: Shocked.
The two couples hurriedly said goodbye, and the concierge's daughter-in-law returned to Gu's residence with a dull look. Others saw that her face was wrong, so they cared a few more words, and she said it without paying attention.
That night, after Gu Chaochao finished his dinner, he saw Chanjuan come in with a solemn expression: "Master, stay away from General Shen in the future, he is not normal."
"What do you mean?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
Chanjuan: "He actually likes to wear skirts."
Gu Chaochao: "?"
