Chapter 44 is you

The guards have their own ruthless attacks. One palm strike can make a person half-dead in pain, but the wound can be invisible on the body, thus preventing the enemy from discovering their methods and being caught.

The fat shopkeeper also received two slaps from the guards.

The few individual guests in the room had already been frightened and fled away.

Gu Man walked towards the fat shopkeeper, "How about it? Pay back the money?"

The fat shopkeeper grimaced in pain but still refused to pay, "Unless you come up with evidence, I won't pay even to the death!"

Hey! He is really a boss who wants money rather than his life.

This capital is so big, where can she go to find witnesses?

Gu Man looked at Ting Li and Xiao Jinwen and sighed, "Forget it, this is a boss who wants money rather than life! Anyway, I'm angry now, let's go. It seems that these eight thousand taels are destined to miss me.

I have never won a five-dollar lottery ticket in my life, let alone eight thousand taels of silver! Alas! I have accepted my fate."

Ting Li and Xiao Jinwen had no choice. After all, they were the princes and princesses in the palace. There were many people standing outside watching the excitement. If anyone knew them, they would definitely add fuel to the fire and not know what to make up.

Xiao Jinwen comforted him: "Don't worry, I don't think they have been dishonest like this once or twice. When I get back, I will send someone to check him, and I will make him spit out your eight thousand taels of silver."

Gu Man nodded, and Princess Tingli was annoyed and kicked the fat shopkeeper hard on the waist to vent her anger.

When the three of them were about to leave, they met a familiar person.

That person is the new top scholar—Qiu Zining.

At this time, Qiu Zining was wearing a brand new light gray robe, with a radiant face and a smile. He looked exactly the same as when he saw him walking down the street this morning. He was no longer as shabby as he had been seen a few days ago.

However, he was still parading in the street during the day, so why did he appear here at this time?

Qiu Zining saw Gu Man's eyes seeming to shine, and heard him say excitedly: "It's really you! I've been waiting for you here. If I hadn't heard the conversation between you and the shopkeeper, I wouldn't have believed it, my dear friend.

Is it a woman?"

Gu Man was stunned for a moment.

Before Gu Man could answer, Qiu Zining said again: "Thank you so much for your encouragement that day. You said that I would definitely get the top prize, which gave me great confidence. When I saw my name after the results were released,

I thought that if I saw my benefactor again, I would definitely repay him! God has been so kind to me, but I didn’t expect that I would finally be able to wait!”

Xiao Jinwen looked at the man in front of him, and after listening to his words, he guessed that he was Qiu Zining, the top scholar in the current class.

Ting Li on the side also guessed it, and immediately thought that Gu Man would win with two hundred taels.

So he asked Qiu Zining: "So, do you know about her placing a bet?"

Qiu Zining looked at the pretty woman in front of him and felt quite displeased. She was the number one scholar bestowed by the emperor on that day. She already knew his status as the number one scholar, but she was still so rude. It was just because Gu Man was beside her, Qiu Zining

Without showing his inner displeasure, he said patiently and slowly: "Yes!" Then he looked at Gu Man again and said gently: "Has your benefactor's maiden name been changed?"

Gu Man smiled faintly. For some reason, she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Tingli pulled Qiu Zining over, walked to the fat shopkeeper, and said, "Hey! Fatty, now we have a witness!"

Qiu Zining didn't notice for a moment, but he didn't expect a woman to be so strong, pulling him so hard that he almost lost his balance. Such an embarrassing behavior really hindered his current status!

Qiu Zining was very angry and frowned unconsciously.

How rude!

When the fat shopkeeper saw it was Qiu Zining, he pretended to have fainted.

Gu Man walked out of the restaurant with a thick banknote in her hand. Not to mention how happy she felt, the inexplicable uneasy feeling in her heart was immediately washed away.

After leaving the restaurant, Qiu Zining was still following Gu Man closely.

Gu Man looked at Qiu Zining and said: "Qiu Zhuangyuan, there is no need to thank me. I just did it on a whim. The real reason is because of your outstanding literary talent, Qiu Zhuangyuan, so you don't need to keep this in mind! Besides, today you are taking my place.

I testify that after I get back the eight thousand taels of silver from that profiteer, let’s treat it as evenly matched! It’s getting late, where can Qiu Zhuangyuan rest?”

When Qiu Zining heard that Gu Man actually said that he and she were even, she didn't know how she felt at that time, but she just felt that her heart was filled with panic.

He doesn't want to be even with her like this!

His benefactor did not repay his kindness. Judging from his clothes, he must have come from a wealthy family, but he is also the number one scholar in high school. He will surely have a prosperous career in the officialdom in the future. So, he is not considered a high achiever, right?

It's not like he didn't hear Gu Man's eviction order, but since he didn't know when he would meet again after parting ways today, he had to seize the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zining bowed respectfully to Gu Man and said, "My dear, how can your kindness to me be wiped out by just being a witness?"

Listening to Qiu Zining's words, the bad premonition in Gu Man's heart became even worse.

Just listen to him continue: "I know that Miss must have a noble background. Now that I am also the top scorer in high school, my future must be unlimited, so I think..."

The more Gu Man listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Why did his words sound like the words used in a picture book when a scholar proposes marriage to the daughter of a wealthy family?

Xiao Jinwen suddenly interrupted Qiu Zining's next words, looked at Gu Man and said, "Madam, it's getting late. I'm afraid the Marquis should be anxious now. Let's go back!"

Xiao Jinwen deliberately emphasized the words "Madam" and "Master Hou" for fear that Qiu Zining wouldn't hear anything unusual.

Gu Man looked at Xiao Jinwen, could it be that she was overthinking it, and even Xiao Jinwen heard it? Gu Man nodded slightly to Xiao Jinwen, and Xiao Jinwen smiled back.

He is also a man, so how can he not understand Qiu Zining's thoughts? From the first time he saw Gu Man when he entered the restaurant, Qiu Zining's eyes seemed to have grown on Gu Man's body. He was most familiar with those warm and sincere eyes.

.

The queen mother always looks like this when she looks at her father.

The queen mother loved her father very much and gave her whole heart to him. But his father's love was so much that there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and each of them could get some.

My father is a good monarch and a good father, but he is not a good husband.

But he is different from his father. His heart is so small that he can only hold one person at the top of his heart, and his love can only be given to one person.

However, at the top of his heart stood a person he could never get.

How did he fall in love with Ji Moyan?

It seemed that when he rescued her ashore that day, she said weakly, "I'm really troubling you." He was shocked at that time.

In such danger, she could still say "Sorry to trouble you" to a strange and unknown person?

What kind of person is she?

In the dim pond, he couldn't see his face clearly. After finally landing on the shore, he could see clearly. It was a face that was so beautiful that one could never forget it after just one glance.

Such a kind person, God really treats her well.

However, when Cheng Mo snatched her away from his arms, he realized that that kind and beautiful woman was actually his new wife that everyone in the capital was talking about?

At that moment, his heart was broken.
