Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1656: Fuming with Anger

He hurriedly stopped and quickly caught her, managing not to let her be knocked down by him.

"What’s wrong? Had a nightmare?" Gu Jinli held two letters in her hand and looked up at him in confusion.

Seeing her, Qin San Lang felt at ease and smiled, "No, I just woke up and didn’t see you, got a little anxious."

During the time Xing’an Prefecture was surrounded, he often had nightmares outside. Every time he woke up, he couldn’t see her. Just now he woke up and didn’t see anyone, so he rushed out to find her.

Gu Jinli laughed upon hearing this and handed the two letters to him: "I’m fine, just went to get the letters. Lord Ying urgently wants to meet us, he sent people twice with letters telling us to use the excuse of fetching Granny Lei to the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion to meet him."

The first letter was delivered in the afternoon, but Qin San Lang was still asleep, so Gu Jinli asked Erqing to tell the messenger that they would go over after Qin San Lang woke up.

Luo Ying felt sorry for Qin San Lang, knowing he was exhausted from rushing around all day, so he kept waiting. After dark, not seeing them come over, he sent another letter.

Qin San Lang took the letter, read it, then burned it with the candle flame, and asked Gu Jinli, "Is Xiao Yu hungry?"

Gu Jinli: "Hmm? Are we going to eat before we go?"

Qin San Lang said, "It might take some time there, better eat something first to tide us over."

Brother Luo doesn’t like Xiao Yu, and once we go over, he’s sure to ask a lot of questions. Better let Xiao Yu eat something first, while he arranges some things, lest his Xiao Yu faces trouble.

"Are you hungry?" Gu Jinli asked, a bit sheepishly, then chuckled, "I woke up earlier this afternoon, got a bit hungry, drank a bowl of chicken soup and had some chicken and two pancakes."

The chicken porridge she had with him before sleeping wasn’t filling, she woke up hungry.

Qin San Lang was pleased to hear she ate quite a bit and asked, "Is there more chicken soup? I’d like a bowl, and two more pancakes."

"Yes, there is." Gu Jinli had already prepared for him; the chicken soup and pancakes were warmed over the water on the stove. She turned to go get them.

Qin San Lang seized the moment to write a letter. After finishing, he blew a whistle, and Siping appeared, tapping the window: "Master."

Qin San Lang opened the rear window, handed him the letter: "Deliver this to Brother Luo at the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion."

"Yes." Siping was specially responsible for delivering messages, as a confidant, he knew Luo Ying, took the letter immediately to Luo Ying.

Luo Ying was delighted to see him, asking, "Has your master come? Quickly, the food prepared for him is about to cool again, this stubborn kid sleeps too long, the food has been reheated twice."

It’s just that resources are scarce in the city now; if it were in the Capital, such reheated food wouldn’t be eaten again.

Siping glanced at him, handed him a letter: "Master will come later, this is the letter for Lord Ying."

My master is eating with his wife right now, perhaps have that food reheated once more?

"A letter? Give it here." Luo Ying was happy, indeed Qin Laoyao sent a letter, showing he had this brother in his heart, he finally didn’t care for him in vain.

However, when he tore open the envelope and looked at the letter, he was furious, his face darkened.

With a bang, Luo Ying slammed his hand on the table, angry: "Nonsense!"

For a woman, he actually specifically wrote in the letter instructing him to speak kindly to the Gu Family, to smile more, to not use a heavy tone, not to let the Gu Family suffer any anger, also saying that the Gu Family followed him in hardships, he couldn’t let her face more trouble.

Qin Laoyao is simply mad, to be so enamored by a woman, always considering her and fearing her grievances, how could this be? Entirely devoid of any husbandly dignity!

Luo Ying’s gaze turned heavy, fixing on Siping, making Siping shiver down his back, he clasped his hands: "If Lord Ying has no other instructions, may I return to report?"

Something seems off, better slip away first.

"Stop!" Luo Ying shouted to halt Siping, asking: "Is the Gu Family normally very fierce to your master? Must be very fierce, after all, she’s a country girl, never learned any proper etiquette, just using rustic methods from the countryside..."

"Forgive me, Lord Ying." Siping interrupted Luo Ying’s words, said: "Master has instructed, those who slander his wife are lightly punished, heavily made to disappear. I advise Lord Ying not to trouble me."

Luo Ying was so upset his face turned green, suppressed his anger, and rephrased the question: "Is the Gu Family good to your master normally? Obedient?"

Siping nodded emphatically, smiling, "Very obedient."

Master never goes against his wife’s wishes; what the wife says, goes; very obedient.

However, only to his wife, towards them, he still demands with the standards of an assassin.

Luo Ying misunderstood, thinking Gu Jinli listened well to Qin San Lang, immediately his face lit up with joy, laughing: "Haha, I knew it, Qin Laoyao wouldn’t be led by a woman."

Siping furrowed his brow, sensing Luo Ying might be mistaken, but thought... the master and his wife always discuss matters together, it’s just the master is fond of his wife, often indulging her, not led by her, so he didn’t explain further.

Luo Ying asked a few more things, Siping told what he could, not giving away anything he couldn’t.

Seeing no further information, and the matter concerning Qin Laoyao’s couple, Luo Ying couldn’t question a servant further, so he dismissed Siping, adding: "Go urge your master to come quickly."

"Yes." Siping responded, soon leaving.

After Siping left for about three quarters of an hour, Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli took a carriage to the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion, using the pretext of fetching Ms. Gao Lei, a benefactor and elder of different surname, thus they didn’t avoid patrol soldiers in the city.

The two first met Ms. Gao Lei, who brought them to see Luo Ying.

"In this courtyard, there are people guarding around, won’t let anyone untrustworthy come in, you go in assured." Ms. Gao Lei said then left, strolling around the garden to digest.

Qin San Lang held Gu Jinli’s hand, knocked on the courtyard door, and when it opened, led her inside.

Luo Ying, impatiently waiting, due to serious injuries, could only sit on a soft couch waiting.

Luckily, Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli soon entered.

"Brother Luo, I brought Xiao Yu to see you." Qin San Lang led Gu Jinli before the couch and asked, "How’s the injury? Is the poison controlled?"

"Doctor Lu is remarkable, I’m fine." Luo Ying stared at their hands holding, grinding his back teeth, looked at Gu Jinli, raising his chin to ask: "Are you the Gu Family?"

"Yes." Gu Jinli removed her veiled hat, solemnly saluted Luo Ying: "Thank you, Brother Luo, for helping with the rescue."

If it wasn’t for Luo Ying and the Eagle Food Gang, it would’ve been hard to repel the Rong people last night.

"No need for your thanks, I’m protecting Qin Laoyao." Luo Ying said, scrutinizing Gu Jinli.

The boil on the Gu Family face was indeed fake, now it’s gone, the stench too; suddenly seeing... oh, truly a beauty among thousands.

Luo Ying’s heart finally settled a bit; if Qin Laoyao really married an ugly wife, he’d pity him terribly.

Now this face is suitable for Qin Laoyao.

Just the background is too inferior, and the past of Mrs. Cui makes one uneasy.
