With a creak, the door was opened by someone inside.

Gu Huaizhi looked calm.

Changfeng was waiting outside, with a respectful expression on his face as he reported one by one: "General Mu left for Wunan a few days ago and figured it would be time. General Mu went to the palace at Shenshi and stayed in the imperial study for a full hour.

When I came out, the circles under my eyes were red."

Obviously, the Mu family had discussed Mu Jiu's identity with Zhou Xu. This was really... everyone was happy.

Gu Huaizhi frowned, his dark eyes darkened, and he nodded, indicating that he understood.

Changfeng said again: "The Duke will arrive in Lin'an tomorrow."

Gu Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged. Even his father, whom he had not seen for a long time, did not cause him any slight fluctuation in emotions.

If it really happened, then he would only be a little confused.

With Gu He around, Sheng Wan became lawless again.

I don't think there will ever be a quiet day in the Duke's Mansion.

The prince frowned fiercely and turned back to the house.

He thought that with his current status, he should have a new house, and it would be a great idea to move out with Ruan Zhen.

Although the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion is verbose and annoying, he must be a good housekeeper.

There is a cook in Yi Mansion with excellent skills. How about snatching him over?

He was considering this issue very seriously.

However, soon, his attention fell on the book "The Butcher and the Little Nun". There was a mark on the book, which was obviously the place where Ruan Zhen read it last time.

So, the little lady can’t sleep at night, so she relies on this to fall asleep?

What a good little lady, why do you want to watch this? I thought she had learned a lesson, but who would have thought to watch secretly behind his back! How brave!

Really shameless!

Gu Huaizhi's brows showed indifference.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was only the sound of turning books in the room.

[The butcher was really bold. He was rejected many times, but he never became discouraged. He really didn’t know what the nun was insisting on! Could it be possible for a good girl to end her life relying on the green lantern and the ancient Buddha? So he broke into the nunnery at night

, arrested the gangster and went to the nun’s house.】

Gu Huaizhi sneered: ...Vulgar! Dirty!

[The nun was frightened again and again, but she didn't dare to speak out. She was scolded as a fox at her uncle's house. If she could offend a man in the nunnery, she would be really shameless. She was dressed in a dusty robe, but she couldn't hide herself.

The beauty of appearance.]

["Please respect yourself!" She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. 】

[The butcher swallowed his saliva and said: "A monk can still return to secular life, so why should a girl abuse herself?"]

Gu Huaizhi sneered: ...acting pretentiously! What a beast!

What crappy books are they?

I don't know how long it took, but Ruan Zhen opened her eyes sleepily.

She raised her body, looked around, and landed on Gu Huaizhi, who was holding a book at the desk.

"Wake up and eat." When the man heard the noise, he didn't even raise his head, and simply left such a sentence.

Ruan Zhen slowly got down on the bed, wearing embroidered shoes, and asked softly: "Is your husband busy with official duties again?"

He received a chuckle from Gu Huaizhi.

"Ah!"

baffling.

Ruan Zhen walked up to the dining table without much thought. There were exquisite dishes on the table.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids as if to give her face, without saying anything, just staring at her.

Ruan Zhen:???What's wrong with this?

She didn't ask any more questions, just lowered her head and ate her rice. The only sound left in the room was the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing with each other.

She took a few bites but accidentally discovered that the bow on her underwear was a bit ugly. It was obvious who made it.

Ruan Zhen silently put down her jade chopsticks. Sensing something was wrong, she took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, stood up, and took small steps closer.

She opened her red lips and was about to speak. When she saw what Gu Huaizhi was holding, she froze.

It seems that she can be caught once if she looks at it.

Ruan Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, she was suffocating, and even forgot to breathe, so that her face turned red.

Especially after reading that sentence in the book.

[He stirred the sweetness between her lips and teeth, without any clue and with urgency. "My dear, I really want to die on you!"]

Her whole body was in bad shape.

She also wanted to die.

Gu Huaizhi loosened his fingertips and the book hit the desk with a thud.

Her legs went weak and she almost fell in front of him, but Gu Huai's hands quickly grabbed her waist.

The man said quietly: "You don't have to kneel down to admit your mistake."

Ruan Zhen raised her head, the dim yellow light fell on the hibiscus face, and her voice had an imperceptible tremor.

"Does it look good?"

He said quietly: "What do you think?"

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips. She said in a very low voice without confidence: "You are a gentleman, why did you buy this secretly?"

Gu Huaizhi:???

Ruan Zhen seemed to have made up her mind not to admit it. She calmed down and her voice became louder: "Although I am your wife, I will also cover up for you, but my husband should watch less."

Gu Huaizhi laughed angrily.

He looked at the wilted Ruan Zhen with a half-smile.

"my book?"

Ruan Zhen felt guilty for a second.

"Um."

Gu Huaizhi's face was ashen and his voice was cold. He sneered softly: "Okay, mine."

Ruan Zhen took a breath, sensing the danger, she was about to step back.

Gu Huaizhi exerted a little force, and Ruan Zhen's eyes were forced to turn. The next moment, he sat on the desk with the book underneath.

It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Ruan Zhen dug at the desk helplessly: "I haven't eaten dinner yet."

Gu Huaizhi responded lightly: "Me neither."

When Ruan Zhen heard this, she reminded her loudly: "Don't let a table of good food go cold."

Gu Huaizhi didn't respond.

Ruan Zhen: "I'm really hungry."

Gu Huaizhi slowly twirled the ugly bow.

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips, her expression was serious, and she leaned towards Gu Huaizhi: "I have to tell you something."

Gu Huaizhi's fingertips slid up her thin pajamas: "I don't want to hear it."

Ruan Zhen put her hands on his shoulders and said cautiously, "I might be pregnant."

Gu Huaizhi responded casually.

Ruan Zhen fell into a dilemma: "But I'm afraid I'm overthinking it."

Gu Huaizhi was about to respond perfunctorily, but the next moment he was completely stunned.

Ruan Zhen was very patient and her expression was always gentle: "So, do you want to have dinner with me?"

Gu Huaizhi withdrew his fingertips tremblingly. He looked at Ruan Zhen's flat belly for a moment, and his voice was hoarse. It was a rare gaffe: "Isn't there a sachet?"

"The sachet was not taken out."

Gu Huaizhi's throat was so dry that he heard his own cryptic voice: "Reach out your hand."

Ruan Zhen didn't know why, so she handed over her bare hand.

Gu Huaizhi placed her hand, palm facing up, and placed his long, calloused fingertips on her wrist.

Ruan Zhen was a little surprised: "Husband, can you still feel your pulse?"

Gu Huai paused and met the woman's eyes. He looked a little confused and uttered two words: "No."

Ruan Zhen:???

what are you doing then!!!

Gu Huaizhi rubbed his confused temples: "I forgot."
