Chapter 231 Poaching?
"Well, I will give Miss Yingying an explanation." Gong Ming replied to Xia Mo seriously, as if he didn't see Yingying's confusion.
Xia Mo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe you."
After that, he smiled and turned to Yingying, "I almost forgot to tell you that I have discussed the matter you mentioned to me last time with Brother Chuan. There are two feasible options, but we are not free now. I will talk to you when we are free."
Yingying's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! No hurry, no hurry, you guys go ahead and do your work. But if they knew about this, they would probably be very happy, haha..."
Xia Mo smiled: "As long as you are not afraid of hardship, it will be fine."
Yingying chuckled, "How can this be so hard? I have never seen anything harder than marching and fighting."
Xia Mo thought about it and decided that was the case, so he said "let's talk about it later" and left with Ling Chuan.
Since the master said there is a feasible way to make money, then it must be feasible. Yingying watched the two people go away, nudged Gong Ming with her elbow and said, "Hey, Gong Ming, why are you so cold? We brothers need to have a job to make a living in the future."
"...Okay, got it." Gong Ming responded absentmindedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yingying turned her eyes to look at him, and the feeling she had just forgotten came back to her. Hiss, there was something wrong with this man, and so did the master just now...
Yingying crossed her chest with one hand and stroked her chin with the other hand as she looked at Gong Ming, with a tiny light flashing in her amber eyes.
Gong Ming: "...What are you looking at me for?"
Yingying shook her head and said nothing. After a while, she said jokingly, "Brother, you are hiding something from me. That's really not nice of you. Tsk, let me guess what made you suddenly so active..."
Hearing this, Gong Ming rolled his eyes, glanced at his bright eyes full of gossip, and silently turned away, "You think too much, go gather the brothers, there is work to do."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
Yingying looked as if she didn't believe it, but didn't immediately follow up, "You're trying to change the subject."
"..." Gong Ming turned a deaf ear and walked faster.
Yingying stared at his straight back and his somewhat hurried steps, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, gradually revealing a perverted smile.
He chased after her and said to Gong Ming, who was pretending to be calm, "Oh~, I know, it's Miss Yingying~"
Gong Ming turned his head and coldly said to him: "Noisy."
Yingying was not afraid of him and continued to smile: "It seems that I guessed right. No wonder he was so active. It turned out that he was trying to steal someone's girlfriend."
"...Shut up."
"That's right. If not now, when? Let's go, hurry up. We can't waste such a good opportunity. I have to tell the other brothers to search more carefully..."
Gong Ming pursed his lips and glared at Yingying, who had already floated a few meters away before he finished speaking. He said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yingying waved her hand without even turning her head, "I know, I know." But the unconventional tone made it seem very unbelievable no matter how you listened to it.
……
In Qinghe County, in an antique house, a woman's weak coughs suddenly sounded, followed by a man's concerned voice.
"How do you feel, Madam? Why don't we go see a doctor?" Gu Wenlang sat in front of the bed, holding Zhao Xier's hand and frowning.
Zhao Xier looked weak and smiled at him: "No, this is just an old problem. Husband, is Xiang'er back?"
"Yet..." Gu Wenlang was about to say no when a sweet female voice came from outside the house.
"Miss, Miss! I'm back!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Xier wanted to sit up. Gu Wenlang, who had just looked outside, saw her and quickly turned around to help her.
"Slow down, Xiang'er won't run away."
The man's gentleness made Zhao Xier curl her lips slightly. She lowered her head and leaned in his arms, her forehead resting on his neck, and said "hmm" sweetly.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in quickly." Zhao Xier replied.
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and a maid named Xiang'er walked in.
As a result, when she entered, she saw the loving scene between her masters and her husband. She immediately covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that she had come back at a really bad time.
Zhao Xier felt a little shy when she saw her like this. She glared at her and said, "Xiang'er, why are you still standing there? Did the person I asked you to inquire find out? Ahem... "
Gu Wenlang's face turned serious, "Speak slowly... Xiang'er, quickly pour me a glass of water."
"Yeah, okay!" Xiang'er responded as she poured her a glass of water and brought it over. Gu Wenlang raised his hand to take it, and then wanted to feed Zhao Xier, "Drink something to moisten your throat."
Zhao Xier took two sips and didn't want to drink anymore, so she said softly to Gu Wenlang, "Husband, that's enough."
"Okay, I'll take it first. If your throat feels dry again later, you can drink it directly."
"Well, my husband, you are so nice." Zhao Xier looked up and smiled at the handsome man.
"That's right, no one is better than the son-in-law." Xiang'er, who was watching quietly from the side, couldn't help but joked. Undoubtedly, Zhao Xi'er glared at her again, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Gu Wenlang coughed lightly, "Ahem, alright, weren't you anxiously waiting for Xiang'er just now? Ask her first, and then ask her to call a doctor for you. I'm worried about you staying here like this."
"Well, then." Zhao Xier's eyes moved slightly, and she agreed after a moment's hesitation. Then she looked up at Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, have you found out about him?"
Speaking of business, Xiang'er also put away her playful smile and said seriously: "Miss, I went to those villages to ask around, and there is no one named Xia Mo."
"No? How is that possible?!"
Zhao Xier's voice suddenly rose, and her expression suddenly changed. For a moment she looked ferocious, and she leaned forward. Fortunately, Gu Wenlang had his arms around her shoulders.
"Xiang'er, tell me, have you really inquired about these villages? Are there no omissions?" Zhao Xier still wanted to reach out to grab Xiang'er's hand. Seeing this, Xiang'er also took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand.
"Miss, I have asked around, and there is really no one. Even if you don't believe Xiang'er, Ah Tao and Ah Quan have been there, how about I go and call them over now so you can ask them?"
Gu Wenlang frowned, "No need."
Then he said to Zhao Xier, "Xier, don't be anxious or excited. What if you get sick from anxiety?"
The man's worried tone was mixed with a hint of displeasure.
He just couldn't understand, was it just a distant relative, was it worth her being so excited?
Zhao Xier was startled when she heard his tone, then lowered her eyebrows and said aggrievedly: "Sorry, I just..."
Seeing this, Gu Wenlang sighed, "Xi'er, you don't have to apologize to me all the time. I don't mean to blame you."
"I know. I know you are not being mean to me, so I am apologizing to you for my willfulness. If I hadn't come to look for him, you wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles with me from the capital back to Qinghe County."
Zhao Xier spoke softly, and fell into the man's arms like a boneless snake. With her attitude, any ordinary man would not be able to withstand it.
Sure enough, Gu Wenlang's tone softened.
"You and I are one family, there's no need to be so polite. And your cousin, since someone said he's here, why don't we go to other villages to ask? Maybe he's settled in another village."
"Yeah!" Zhao Xier nodded rapidly, looking at the man with eyes full of gratitude and emotion.
Sure enough, this man was just like the one she had seen in her previous life, so gentle, so beautiful, and doting on his wife...
In this life, he is finally hers!!
It can only be hers!!!
