After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 271 Reason for retirement?

Xia Mo was also surprised by Zhao Xier's identity, but he was thinking about what Zhao Xier would do next. Was Mr. Zhang really not afraid of the other party's identity at all?

Gong Ming saw that both of them were staring in deep thought, especially the eldest brother, whose solemn expression was even more serious than the enemy approaching. He was like a lion whose treasure was coveted, emitting vigilance and oppression.

He didn't think it was because of Miss Yingying. With the boss's cold personality, it was impossible.

If he said that he had offended his master, he would be more likely to believe it, but before discovering that Zhao Xier was Gu Wenlang's wife, the master should have had no contact with this woman, right?

So what was going on with Zhao Xier? Why did the boss feel so taboo about her? Gong Ming looked at them suspiciously, unable to figure out the reason.

Seeing that they still didn't say anything, the eldest brother just stared at his master and couldn't help asking, "Boss, Ze'er, County Magistrate He has said that he wants to summon Miss Yingying. Should we tell her about this as well?"

Xia Mo pursed his lips, then shook his head slightly: "No need, since Sister Yingying wants to confess to Aunt, it's better for us not to disturb them for the time being. Besides, it's hard to say whether this class can be held tomorrow."

Just as Gong Ming said, County Magistrate He didn't want to deal with this matter, and no matter how thick-skinned Zhao Xier was, she had to save some money for her old father, because she had already revealed her identity.

As for Mr. Zhang, it’s hard to say for now.

Xia Mo felt that he was a businessman, and if he didn't have any backing, he probably wouldn't dare to confront Zhao Xier like that.

But County Magistrate He’s idea was not wrong. After all, Zhang Siyuan was a good person. Even if it was discovered that Zhao Xier was the one behind this, the punishment would not be severe.

"You mean, Zhao Xier and the others will go to Mr. Zhang to negotiate peace in private?" Gong Ming said.

Xia Mo laughed, "It's impossible to negotiate peace. It would be fine if Zhao Xier did something else, but she is blind and treats the flesh and blood of others as an abacus bead."

Xia Mo sneered twice, "Besides, Zhao Xier is a daughter of an official family. According to what you said before, she is probably very proud. I think it is unlikely for her to lower her noble head to a businessman like Mr. Zhang."

"Mo'er, do you think she will cheat?" Ling Chuan said with narrowed eyes.

"Well, I guess he'll stay out of the spotlight." Xia Mo said.

If she really came for him, she would probably make a comeback. After all, the heat of the matter is limited. When the limelight has passed, Zhao Xier can change her identity and come to Qinghe County again.

Hearing this, Gong Ming turned to Ling Chuan and asked, "If this is the case, Boss, do we still need to keep an eye on them?"

Ling Chuan's eyes darkened for a moment, "Watch closely."

"Okay." Gong Ming replied. Although he was full of confusion, he did not try to figure out the deeper meaning behind the boss's move.

Xia Mo didn't know Gong Ming's doubts, nor did he know Ling Chuan's plans, so he just thought that Ling Chuan was worried that Zhao Xier would do something unexpected, so he continued to monitor her.

"Pay more attention to Sister Yingying and Aunt Zhou tomorrow. If they are really summoned as witnesses, we'd better have someone follow them. We're afraid that the woman might not only not escape, but also do something desperate and ambush them along the way."

Gong Ming's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly became a little restless. A powerful and ruthless woman like Zhao Xier would never take the lives of ordinary people seriously, otherwise how could she dare to plan this?

When he first met Miss Yingying, he felt that she was very unusual. Not only did she stand up for her friends and debate with a group of scholars, she also dared to question his eldest brother. Later, after getting to know her more, he found that she was a very thoughtful, kind, and exceptionally strong person.

Gradually, my eyes would subconsciously look at her in the crowd, and slowly, I began to have different thoughts.

Seeing Gong Ming suddenly getting a little restless, Xia Mo curled his lips slightly, "Brother Gong, don't be nervous, what I said is just a guess. Besides, don't you still have me here?"

When people are at their most vulnerable, that's often when it's easiest for someone to take advantage of them, so we're counting on you, young man.

Xia Mo winked at him as he thought about it, teasing the serious man until his face turned red.

"Well, we won't let them take advantage of any opportunity." Gong Ming smiled shyly.

The lord is a good friend of Miss Yingying. As long as he defeats Miss Yingying's relatives and friends one by one, he should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort by then.

"I came here mainly for these reasons. Since I have no other plans for the time being and it's late at night, I won't disturb your rest."

"Well, you've been busy all day, thank you for your hard work."

"No……"

After Gong Ming left, Xia Mo smiled like a little fox and nudged Ling Chuan's arm with his elbow, "Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan, I think Brother Gong has a great chance."

"Hmm?" Ling Chuan, who was thinking about how to kill Zhao Xier without anyone noticing, lowered his eyes slightly.

"Pursuing Sister Yingying." Xia Mo grinned. To be honest, an offensive like Gong Ming's with actions is the most pleasing, especially to Aunt Zhou, the old mother.

Xia Mo dared to guarantee that if she knew that Gong Ming loved Sister Yingying and was silently paying for her, she would probably want to bring them together. After all, Aunt Zhou really wanted Sister Yingying to have a home.

It is easy to tell what the elderly are worried about.

"Yeah." Ling Chuan was not interested in whether Gong Ming could find a wife, but seeing that the young man looked optimistic, he didn't want to spoil his fun.

"No wonder Zhao Xier is so generous. It turns out that her father is an official. Tsk tsk, I wonder how much she has embezzled privately."

Xia Mo changed the topic quickly, and when Ling Chuan heard the name of this person, he pursed his lips slightly, but did not express his thoughts immediately.

"Mo'er is absolutely right." As someone who could raise such an arrogant, domineering, and scheming daughter, Lord Zhao must not be a good official.

"Forget it, forget it. Officialdom is full of twists and turns. It's better for us not to get involved in it." Xia Mo shrugged and said to himself. Anyway, I won't offend others unless they offend me. I hope that woman will retreat and stop doing any tricks.

Ling Chuan lowered his eyes and stared at him for a long while before he said in a deep voice: "The current emperor is old and has paid special attention to his health in recent years. He has been looking for elixirs everywhere. When I retired, many officials in the court began to take sides."

Xia Mo opened his mouth slightly, and the smile gradually disappeared. Looking at the man's handsome face, a feeling of pity suddenly arose in his heart.

A man like Brother Chuan must be a bloody man. He was in the prime of his life with a bright future, but he gave up fame and fortune and became a farmer again. I wonder if it has something to do with this?

Ever since the man confessed his identity to him, they haven't mentioned it much. It's not that he is not curious, but he can see that Brother Chuan really doesn't want to have anything to do with this anymore.

The struggle for royal power and the battle for succession have always been brutal since ancient times. How many of them can remain safe and sound?

Xia Mo also didn't like the kind of life where he had to calculate all the time and had to keep one eye open even when he was sleepy, so he wanted to do business and have a small business to make a living.
