After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin curled his lips, thinking that novels were all lies.

How come the men they rescued in the bamboo forest were all handsome and angelic, but when they came to her, they were just old men with ugly looks!

Gu Jin just stood there and watched motionlessly, neither leaving nor moving forward.

Finally, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and slowly raised his eyelids.

His eyes were sharp and cold like an eagle, and the murderous aura on his body was not diminished in the slightest because of his injury.

He had a cold and hard face to begin with, and now with blood staining his face, he looked even more terrifying.

If other women saw this, they would either faint or be scared away. Gu Jin blinked, looked for a while and then turned around to leave.

"Hey you……"

The man spoke, and Gu Jin stopped and looked back, "You are so rude. If you want to call someone, you should at least call her this beautiful lady, right?"

man:"……"

The man pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you from?"

Gu Jin took a step back, his eyes full of disdain, "You are in this state, and you still have the time to ask about the girl's residence? It's really terrible for anyone to have a father like you!"

"I……"

The man took a deep breath and decided to get to the point so as not to say a few more words to her and make himself angry. "Little girl, would you like to do me a favor?"

Gu Jin looked at him, curled his lips and revealed a gentle and kind smile, "I don't want to."

man:"……"

"I haven't even asked to help you yet? And you're unwilling to do so? Besides, as a woman, how could you have the heart to watch someone die without helping?" The man was so angry that he kept coughing. He thought to himself, this woman couldn't be sent by the killer to piss him off to death!

"I don't know you, how would I know if I would get into trouble if I saved you."

The man calmed down his breath, so as not to lose his life, which he had saved with great difficulty, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person.

If you help me this time, I will make sure you live a smooth life in the future."

"Are you so awesome?"

The man nodded.

As the Marquis of Yongchang, it would be easy for him to protect a little girl.

"Then why can't you even protect yourself?"

Yongchang Marquis: “…”

He only felt the energy and blood surging in his body, and he felt that the energy he had in a whole year was not as much as that he had on that day.

Fortunately, this is not his girl, otherwise it would be a real misfortune for the family!

"This... is just a minor accident.

Just tell me if you're willing to help me."

Gu Jin thought for a moment, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Please buy me some wound medicine and hemostatic medicine. Remember not to let anyone know."

"I have all these things." After saying that, Gu Jin took out the golden wound medicine like a magician.

Marquis Yongchang's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

But Gu Jin didn't hand it to him.

"I never believe in a man's promise. It's better for us to settle now."

Yongchang Hou frowned in confusion, "How can we settle the matter?"

Gu Jin rubbed his fingers and said, "Just exchange it with money."

Marquis Yongchang secretly shook his head. Although the girl was pretty, she was too shortsighted. Could it be that his favor was not as valuable as money?

"How much silver?" Marquis Yongchang asked casually.

"Ten thousand taels."

"How much?" Yongchang Hou thought he had misheard. "Why don't you just go and rob it?"

Gu Jin suddenly realized, "That makes sense. Anyway, you may not be able to beat me in your current state."

Yongchang Marquis: “…”

Yongchang Hou touched his waist with great effort and threw the purse over. "All the money I have is here."

Gu Jin picked them up and counted them, "This is not enough!"

"I'll give you the rest later."

Gu Jin chuckled, "Why should I trust you? Because you look old?"

Yongchang Hou felt that he had never been so exhausted in a war. He stared at Gu Jin and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you have to do to make you believe it?"

Gu Jin weighed the money bag and thought, "Unless you tell me some unknown secrets, so that I can use you as evidence, I won't be afraid that you will regret it later."

"What kind of secret?"

Gu Jin suddenly curled up the corners of his lips, his bright eyes flashing with a cunning light, but Marquis Yongchang saw ill intentions in them.

"For example, have you ever had an affair with your sister-in-law or brother-in-law?"

……

After dinner, the Su family members went to the main hall. Gu Rou didn't see Gu Jin and asked in surprise, "Why hasn't Big Sister come yet? Do you want me to ask someone to call her?"

Su wanted to conceal the truth for Gu Jin, so she said, "Jin'er is feeling a little uncomfortable, let's start without waiting for her."

Gu Rou rolled her eyes. Gu Jin's body was as strong as a bull, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

Su was really biased, she even took the initiative to cover up for her.

Gu Rou was only dissatisfied with Su's favoritism towards Gu Jin, but she didn't think at all about her past neglect towards Su.

Everyone knelt on cushions, and the sound of the monks chanting was distant and ethereal enough to purify the soul.

After adding incense money and lighting eternal lamps for prayer, everyone was ready to leave, but Su knelt on the cushion without moving.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late today. You should go back and rest early." Ma walked over and tried to help Su get up.

Su shook her head and said to Ma and the others, "You guys go back first. I can't sleep anyway so I'll stay here for a while."

Ma was about to speak but stopped herself. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Then my third brother's wife and I will take the children back first. Sister-in-law, don't stay too long."

Su nodded absentmindedly.

Bai snorted in his heart.

She and her elder brother don't seem to be in love with each other on weekdays, but now she starts to pretend. Is she afraid that she will lose her position as the marquis's wife?

Su knelt in front of the Buddha. The hall was filled with golden light and flickering candlelight. She was a little dazed for a moment.

Although Marquis Yongchang was not considerate and gentle to her, he had never treated her harshly over the years.

Only she knew that he had always had his late wife Xu in his heart, and they were together only because of that accident, so she had never been sincere to him.

But after all, they have been married for many years, and she still feels sad when she hears that his life or death is uncertain.

Su clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly: "May the Buddha bless Xie An to have a safe and smooth journey. As long as he can return safely, I am willing to shorten my life by ten years...

No, five years...hiss, how about three, one...

One month! "

No more.

Su closed his eyes and recited the scriptures, his mind focused.

On the other side, Bai felt hungry after praying, so she ordered her maid to go to the kitchen to make her a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

She pounded her numb legs. If she were in the Marquis' Mansion at this time, she could have a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup, and would not have to endure so much pain.

When he thought of the quarrel with Mr. Xie before leaving the house, he felt even more suffocated, so he simply opened the door and went outside to enjoy the cool air.

She was fanning herself and looking up at the starry sky, when suddenly she saw a figure slipping into Su's room.

Bai was curious and walked over quietly. When she saw someone coming out, she squatted down and hid behind the flower wall.

"Isn't that Qiuju, Ma's maid? Why did she end up in Su's room?"
