Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.
Chapter 420 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow
There was nothing wrong with the incense burner, and he didn't touch the tea in the room. He didn't set any traps in places where people could hide, but he didn't want any surprises on his clothes.
Before he put it on, he checked it carefully and found nothing wrong. But now when he wanted to walk, his hands and feet suddenly became uncontrollable. They were soft and weak, and the blood in his body was obviously surging. Within a few minutes, his face flushed, his breathing became rapid, and his body staggered as if he was drunk.
He cursed, suppressed the uncontrollable desire in his heart, and quickly took out a pill from his sleeve and swallowed it. It would take some time for the pill to take effect, but he didn't dare to hesitate any longer and struggled to walk out.
But it was too late.
The door outside creaked open, and someone walked in. The woman's voice rang out, "Okay, you can go down."
A man responded respectfully, "Yes, Miss Zuo, please wait a moment, the Fourth Master will be back soon."
"Um……"
The door creaked shut again.
Xu Huaiyi was confused. Why did the man's voice sound like Yan Shi? Damn, there really is something wrong with this guy. No wonder he dislikes him so much. Yun Ting didn't even notice it. Moreover, he was placed in the study to serve writing and ink, which means he is very trustworthy. This game today will be difficult to break.
He said he had made arrangements in advance, but he probably didn't take the traitor Yan Shi into consideration. Now that Yan Shi has turned against him, all his arrangements are probably in jeopardy.
Right now, he can only save himself.
Should he hide and pretend he doesn't exist, or should he speak up and remind Miss Zuo?
As he was hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps coming towards the inner room. Xu Huaiyi was startled and subconsciously slipped into the RV.
Gu Huanxi was leaning against the bedside flipping through a book. She was startled to see him appear in such a mess. Then she saw that his face looked strange and his forehead was covered in sweat. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Huaiyi staggered to the bedside, and before he lay down, he took off his outer clothes and threw them on the ground, "I was tricked..."
"What?" Gu Huanxi leaned over and touched his forehead. "Why is it so hot? Were you drugged?"
Xu Huaiyi closed his eyes and said "hmm". His throat was hoarse and his heart was burning with anxiety. He subconsciously hugged his wife's waist.
Gu Huanxi didn't have the time to bother with him, so she slapped his hand away and asked, "Where are the pills that Doctor Jiao gave you? Did you take them?"
"I ate it..." Xu Huaiyi struggled again and clung to her, burying his face in his wife's shoulder and kissing her non-stop.
Gu Huanxi dodged, feeling annoyed, angry, and worried, and asked repeatedly, "Is it ineffective after taking it? Is it because the medicine is not suitable for your condition? Or have you been hit by some other disgusting trick?"
Xu Huaiyi panted and said, "It works, but detoxification takes time. I just swallowed it, and it hasn't been five minutes yet..."
Gu Huanxi pinched his waist in annoyance and said, "Why are you still so horny?"
Xu Huaiyi took a breath of cold air in pain and said aggrievedly, "I definitely wouldn't do this outside, but this is in the car, you are right in front of me, and I have my own wife, so why should I endure it?"
Gu Huanxi sneered, "Why don't you need to endure it? Have you asked me if I am willing to be your antidote?"
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Xu Huaiyi didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He honestly let go of her hand and explained in a flattering way, "I was very careful, really. I didn't save a woman who fell into the water. I didn't change my clothes when someone deliberately sprinkled vegetable soup on me. I avoided all the traps that I could avoid. I didn't fall into any of the tricks you warned me about..."
Gu Huanxi had a cold face and pinched him again in anger, "Then why did you let others plot against you? Is this all you can do?"
"Ah, it's such a coincidence, what bad luck..." He paused, coughed twice, and pleaded pitifully, "Wife, can you get me a bottle of ice water first?"
Gu Huanxi glared at him, but still took a bottle from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and handed it to him.
Xu Huaiyi hurriedly sat up and drank half the bottle in one breath. The cold water not only moistened his hoarse throat, but also put out the fire burning in his heart. Perhaps the medicine was working, and his hands and feet regained some strength.
"feel better now?"
"Well, I've finally recovered from the pain. Doctor Jiao's pills are really good. I'll ask for more to keep as a backup..."
Gu Huanxi stood by the bed, glancing at him with a half-smile, "Are you trying to prevent people from thinking about you next time? It seems that you are quite aware of how popular you are. Are you happy to see it happen..."
Xu Huaiyi's scalp tingled, and he quickly interrupted to express his loyalty, "Wife, I only have you in my heart, and I will never fall in love with anyone else!"
Gu Huanxi said indifferently, "But someone has taken a fancy to you, and deliberately drugged you and put people around you. You can dodge it once, you can dodge it twice, but can you dodge it every time?"
Xu Huaiyi swore, "Yes, I can. I swear, my wife, I will refuse such banquets in the future. If I don't go, they won't have the chance to plot against me."
"If you refuse, it will affect your ability to make connections..."
"Is that as important as you? Nothing is as important as you, my dear. I would rather not fight for a career in politics than give others the opportunity to plot against me."
Gu Huanxi asked expressionlessly, "What if it was a plot?"
Xu Huaiyi said with a firm expression, "I always have antidote pills ready. If I don't want to, who can force me to make a mistake? Besides, we still have the RV. If I feel something is wrong, I can just hide in the car at the risk of being exposed. Just like now, no matter what is arranged outside, as long as I am not there, no one can throw dirty water on my head. I can also be clean and no one can take advantage of me."
Gu Huanxi snorted, "If you are dirty, you don't have to come back. Leave the house with nothing. Go find whoever you want. I will take care of the children."
Xu Huaiyi immediately pointed to the sky and swore, "There will never be such a day. I would rather castrate myself than dirty myself..."
Gu Huanxi's mouth twitched, and when he saw that the beating was almost over, he asked about the main matter, "Since you were so careful, how did you still get tricked? What went wrong?"
She looked down at the ground, "Is it this dress?"
Xu Huaiyi nodded depressedly, "I have tried everything I could to prevent it. It must be the problem with this dress. However, I can't see anything..."
Gu Huanxi found a pair of gloves and put them on. He picked up the clothes and checked them carefully. He also sniffed them carefully and frowned. "There's no special smell, not even incense. Could it be that you made a mistake or got tricked somewhere else?"
Xu Huaiyi said firmly, "It's impossible. I was fine before. Nothing happened. After I entered the room, I didn't even light the incense burner, and I didn't touch the tea on the table. I only touched this dress. Who else could it be but this?"
"Didn't I tell you to avoid entering the room?"
"If you say so, I'm definitely worried. I was covered in vegetable soup at the time, but I resisted and didn't go. But Yun Ting came to me personally and took me to his yard to change clothes. It would be inappropriate for me not to go."
Gu Huanxi was half-believing and half-doubting, "Just because we want to give him face?"
Xu Huaiyi laughed guiltily twice, "Haha, giving face is one thing, and secondly, it's also a small favor for him. He wants to lure me into a trap, and I'm playing along. If I don't join in, how can those people continue to sing?"
Hearing this, Gu Huanxi glared at him unhappily, "What about now? Did you get away with it? Are you satisfied?"
Xu Huaiyi touched his nose awkwardly. "Well, it was purely an accident. Yun Ting must have secretly arranged for someone to help me. Even if I was caught, someone would come forward to rescue me. However, no one expected that the person next to him was a traitor, so the arrangements he made were probably useless..."
"What about him?"
"He was originally going to go with me, but when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by the maidservant beside his mother. His mother was vomiting blood, and it looked like it was serious. I had to let him go see his mother first."
Gu Huanxi said speechlessly, "When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. At that time, didn't you two realize that you had fallen into a trap set by others?"
Xu Huaiyi sighed, "Yun Ting was too worried and confused, so he probably didn't notice it, but I realized it, so I immediately became alert, observed the surrounding environment, and kept testing the servant who led the way. Along the way, I also thought about the best route to escape. After entering the house, I also checked it carefully, but there was really no flaw. Who would have thought that I would be caught by a piece of clothing..."
"So why did you come in just now..."
"Someone entered the room, a woman, who was brought in by the traitor. Oh, and the traitor called her Miss Zuo. Zuo? Damn, could she be Li Yunting's fiancée?"
Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened, and he realized belatedly that this was going to destroy both of them in an instant. Even if they trusted each other, after such an unpleasant thing happened, he and Li Yunting could no longer be brothers.
The person behind this is really vicious! Killing two birds with one stone!
Gu Huanxi also thought of this, frowning, "What is the purpose of the people behind this? Don't they want to put spies around you and win you over to work for the Third Prince? Why do they use such a sinister trick? If they succeed, Li Yunting's marriage will be ruined, and your reputation will be ruined. You can't play with your brother's wife. Do you still have a future?"
"Yes, this is not about trying to win me over. This is about having a grudge against me. Wearing a green hat will certainly make people laugh, but after that, Yun Ting can still pass the military examination, get married and have children, but I am completely finished. Damn, who is this person who hates me so much?" Xu Huaiyi pondered and guessed one by one, "There are only a few people who have a grudge against me. The Yao family can no longer cause any trouble. The people in the old Xu family are not that capable. Could it be that Su Rui hates me for helping Su Zhe and threatening his position?"
Gu Huanxi pondered and said, "There are also the Changle Marquis' Mansion and the Chu Prince's Mansion..."
Xu Huaiyi waved his hand and said confidently, "In their eyes, I haven't been exposed yet. They won't deal with me now."
"Could it be the Meng family?"
"Which Meng family? Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion? I have no grudge against them..." Xu Huaiyi paused, "You are not thinking of Meng Yao, are you?"
Gu Huanxi nodded, "It's not impossible. She must have discovered that many things in this life are different from her previous life. How can she not be surprised and curious? If the difference is too big, she will no longer be able to predict the future. Without this halo, how can she be valued by the emperor? How can she not panic and worry? Not send people to investigate?"
"So, it will be traced back to me?"
"If you pay more attention, you will find that many changes are related to you, especially when your fame and status are getting higher and higher, she will definitely keep an eye on you, because there must have been no such person as you in her previous life. Who else would she suspect if not you?"
Xu Huaiyi sighed seriously, "So, being too good is also a problem!"
Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You'd better think about how to deal with this mess right now."
As for who was behind this, it’s not too late to investigate later.
Xu Huaiyi thought about it, then found a bag of snacks with a relaxed look, and ate while saying, "This is easy to say. As long as I'm not at the scene, the game will be broken. If they want to frame me, they have to catch both of them. I'll go out after they're done, and I can make up any excuse to get away with it. Anyway, this matter must have been involved by someone from Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Do they dare to dig into the matter? If anyone wants to investigate, it's me!"
Gu Huanxi was no longer anxious after hearing this, but he just couldn't figure it out, "What happened to Miss Zuo? Could she have been drugged too?"
"Probably not. Judging from his voice, he seems quite sober..."
"If she was sober, why would she enter a man's yard? She is a lady from a wealthy family, doesn't she have the common sense to avoid such taboos?"
Xu Huaiyi thought, "It's likely that someone invited her here in the name of Yun Ting. After all, they are an engaged couple, so it's not too unusual for them to meet in private..."
Gu Huanxi said speechlessly, "We shouldn't have made the appointment in the courtyard where we live. What if we are discovered? It will be hard to explain. Li Yunting is a man, at most people will say he is a playboy, but I don't know what kind of reputation Miss Zuo will have."
Anyone with any sense would not go to the appointment alone.
"Maybe Miss Zuo is too fond of Yun Ting? Or maybe the reason he used made her unable to refuse?"
"No matter what, she was too impulsive. Fortunately, you have pills and a RV to hide in. If it were someone else, this plan would have succeeded. Who of you can bear the consequences of success?"
While the two were talking, there was a noise outside. Someone rushed in shouting, regardless of being stopped. Then there was the woman's panicked cry. It was obvious that he had estimated the time and came to catch the adulterer.
Xu Huaiyi cursed a few times. He couldn't hear the voices outside clearly. He could vaguely hear a woman crying, as well as some sarcastic jokes and apologies. After a while, it became quiet outside.
"Huh? Is this the end?"
"Without the leading actor, how can the one-man show continue? It has become a joke. If we don't end it quickly, the situation will get out of hand, and even Marquis Dingyuan will not forgive them."
"That's right, but why didn't I hear Yun Ting's voice? Is Yun Ting still being held back? I don't know what happened to his mother. If someone is sent to ask for Doctor Jiao, please help to plead for her."
"You still have the heart to worry about others? Hurry up and find a chance to go out and cover up for yourself."
