"Aunt...are you okay...?"

Licorice was worried and stretched out her hand to tug on her sleeve. Gu Ruanruan raised her head as if she suddenly came to her senses.

However, the enthusiasm in his eyes that had not subsided still shocked Licorice!

This look is so unfamiliar.

It should be said that since arriving at the Hou Mansion, Gu Ruanruan has become more and more unfamiliar to her...

Gu Ruanruan didn't notice Licorice's fear, she just suddenly felt very comfortable.

All this time, she had trapped herself in her original shell, always thinking about problems with her previous thinking. It was only now that she truly realized that everything had changed.

The times she lived in had changed, and so had her identity.

In this era where imperial power is supreme and human life is as worthless as grass, she is still stuck in her former thinking!

It turns out that this is what it feels like to have a powerful backer...

Everything that hindered her could be solved so easily. It was ridiculous that she was still frowning because of such a servant.

She couldn't even imagine how joyful life would be if this kind of power were in her hands!

Those romantic things, Gu Ruanruan actually felt a little boring at this moment.

if......

If one day she could have such power, wouldn't everything she wanted be at her fingertips?

Couldn't everything she hates be easily erased?

Her eyes wandered wildly, and many things that Licorice couldn't understand flashed by, and finally became calm.

However, this calmness made Licorice shudder from the bottom of his heart.

She couldn't help but said: "Aunt... Did the Second Prince's people go too far today? How about we distance ourselves from the Second Prince after this time..."

Gu Ruanruan withdrew his hand and looked at her with a half-smile: "It's just a life of a humble person. Why, are you afraid?"

Licorice shook his head subconsciously: "No...no..."

Gu Ruanruan stared into her eyes: "That's good, you are my confidant, and you will enjoy the glory and wealth with me in the future. Don't be scared by this little thing."

"Besides, a person like Zhang Ming deserves such an end. Have you forgotten how he threatened us just now?"

Licorice hesitated to speak.

Gu Ruanruan withdrew his gaze: "Okay, you bring the paper and pen, and I will write the remaining Feitian recipe to the second prince."

Hearing this, Licorice breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Gu Ruanruan had finally listened and wanted to cut off the relationship with the second prince and others. Little did she know that at this moment, a seed called ambition had been planted in Gu Ruanruan's heart.

After Licorice got the prescription, she sent it non-stop to the person sent by the second prince to contact him. When she went back, she saw a few familiar faces, pulling passersby as if asking something.

Licorice was shocked and immediately returned to where he lived.

"Auntie, I saw people from the Marquis Mansion asking questions everywhere. Could they have found us?"

Gu Ruanruan looked very indifferent: "What are you afraid of? Do you know Zhang Ming? Is there such a person in the world?"

Licorice was stunned, yes, Zhang Ming was dead, just an hour ago.

She saw with her own eyes the blood stains all over the floor, which she had to clean up while holding back her nausea.

"My slave, please keep the bloody soil away..."

"No need," Gu Ruanruan waved his hand and said, "Isn't there a pear tree in the yard? I remember there used to be one in my sister's yard. When the season comes, the fruits are big and good."

"I once heard someone say that this person's blood and flesh are the most fertile for these things. Just bury the bloody soil under the pear tree in the yard. Maybe I'll get it here this year. The pears are bigger and sweeter than those in my sister’s yard.”

Licorice watched Gu Ruanruan say these words with a smile, and her fingers were shaking while she was resting.

However, she did not dare to say a word of rebuttal.

"What if the people from the Hou Mansion find this place and dig up the soil..."

Gu Ruanruan chuckled softly: "So what? It's just a disobedient wild dog. I want to bite my beast and kill Feitu. Is it illegal? Who dares to say that it is human blood? Who has evidence? ?”

Until this moment, Licorice never dared to say another word.

The fear in her heart had reached its extreme.

The fingertips seemed to still have the sticky and disgusting feeling of soil mixed with human blood when they were just cleaned.

But......

No one can tell whether she will be next...

......

Gu Baiyu encountered some trouble.

I have been looking for Zhang Ming in the city all day, but there is no clue.

"Master Hou, do you think Zhang Ming is hiding with Gu Ruanruan?"

Gu Baiyu was holding a book in his hand, feeling a little worried.

Xiao Yanlin had just returned from the military camp, and he was still feeling a little bit cold outside. When he saw Gu Baiyu walking over, he turned slightly and said, "I'm dirty. Wait for me to change clothes."

While I was changing clothes, a secret guard sent me a message.

"The intersection where the person last appeared outside Gu Ruanruan's yard?"

The secret guard nodded: "Then there was no trace."

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "I understand, let's go down."

Gu Baiyu frowned: "Is she really that brave? If she hides people in her own place, isn't she afraid that I will lead them to find her?"

Xiao Yanlin was further ahead than she thought. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke out his guess.

"I'm afraid Zhang Ming can't be found."

Gu Baiyu raised his head suddenly: "Master Hou means..."

Then he shook his head in disbelief: "No, it shouldn't be possible. She only brought licorice. How could two girls give a man in his prime..."

"Don't forget, she also has the help of the second prince."

When Xiao Yanlin mentioned the second prince, there was a rare hint of disdain in his tone.

"His usual method is to eradicate anyone he doesn't like."

Gu Baiyu still couldn't believe it.

If Gu Ruanruan were an ordinary person, she would believe it.

But she didn't know Gu Ruanruan's origin.

Although Gu Ruanruan had innocent thoughts in her heart that she had never heard of before, it was undeniable that it was those innocent thoughts that made her think that Gu Ruanruan would not cause death.

She was a little clever, but Gu Baiyu remembered clearly that in his previous life, human life was Gu Ruanruan's bottom line.

It was precisely because of this that no matter how much Gu Baiyu hated her, he never thought of taking her life.

If Xiao Yanlin's guess is true and Gu Ruanruan really broke the bottom line in his previous life, then...

Gu Baiyu's eyes turned cold little by little.

Zhang Ming made a mistake and should be punished by law instead of allowing those with power to kill people like this!

"Master Hou, you have to help me with this matter. No matter whether Zhang Ming is alive or dead, we have to find him."

Xiao Yanlin had already changed his clothes and took the person into his arms.

He could clearly see the fierceness in his little wife's eyes just now, and it was so cute.

He used to feel that Gu Baiyu was a little too kind to Gu Ruanruan. It would be better to be more fierce this way, so that his little claws would be more advantageous, so that he would not be bullied in the future.

Even under his protection, no one dared to bully him.

Gu Baiyu didn't get an answer from Xiao Yanlin for a long time. When he raised his head, he saw him staring at him motionless.

Gu Baiyu was a little embarrassed: "Did I just...be a little fierce..."

She did have some ruthless thoughts just now. Xiao Yanlin was so sensitive that he must have been able to detect it.

Gu Baiyu was a little uneasy.

Could it be that Xiao Yanlin is tired of it?

However, what she didn't know was that Xiao Yanlin liked her very much.

"How could it be? It's better to be more fierce, as it attracts people."

"Master Hou!"

Gu Baiyu was a little embarrassed by what she said, but Xiao Yanlin still lowered his head to kiss her at this time. The beard he had not shaved off before was a bit prickly. Gu Baiyu wanted to hide, but was firmly controlled in his arms. He had no way to escape, so he could only The prick of the beard made her feel itchy and painful, and even her heart felt ripples.

After a while of fussing, Xiao Yanlin regretted it.

Gu Baiyu was thin-skinned, in the true sense of the word, and her face was delicate. After being in trouble for a while, her cheeks were pricked red.

Xiao Yanlin's tone was a little distressed: "Does it hurt? It's my fault."

Gu Baiyu touched his face, it was hot and hot: "No...it doesn't hurt."

She felt like she was getting weird.

She didn't like sloppy men, but Xiao Yanlin's slightly bearded face was so handsome and had the charm of a mature man, which made her blush.

Xiao Yanlin knew very well what his little wife was thinking.

Seeing the water in her eyes, she smiled softly: "Madam, do you like it?"

Gu Baiyu immediately felt ashamed and annoyed: "I don't like it! It's sloppy!"

Xiao Yanlin turned around and said, "Then I'll cleanse my face and remove my beard..."

"Don't!"

Gu Baiyu reached out anxiously and pulled his sleeves: "Today, it's too late today, let's clean up tomorrow morning before going to court."

Xiao Yanlin raised his head and glanced at the bright sun.

Is this “too late?”

Gu Baiyu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and this time he was really embarrassed. He stomped his feet, hugged the book, and turned to leave.

How could Xiao Yanlin give her this chance?

One hand easily picked the person up.

"where to?"

"Put me down!"

"First, tell me where to go!"

Gu Baiyu was annoyed by his mistakes, and felt that it was particularly embarrassing to be controlled by someone with one hand. His eyes turned red for some reason while struggling.

"What are you doing! Put me down! I'm so angry!"

Xiao Yanlin immediately put the man down, but refused to let go.

"Why are your eyes so red?"

Gu Baiyu raised his hands to cover his eyes: "I don't know!"

She felt very strange.

Recently, my mood has been very high because of little things. Sometimes I get into a tantrum with Xiao Yanlin, and afterwards I feel like I am making trouble unreasonably.

At the same time, she warned herself not to do this next time. Xiao Yanlin was busy enough outside, and she should be a good wife;

On the one hand, I couldn't control my sudden emotions.

There was something wrong with her mood, and Xiao Yanlin also noticed it.

He gave up his thoughts of playing around and helped the person sit down next to him.

Then he knelt down on one knee and looked at Gu Baiyu's level.

"What's wrong? Tell me."
