Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 162 Don’t mention the past

a few days later.

Chunfen trotted in and said, "Young Master, I asked around, and half the people in the capital are betting on you. Even the gambling house owner has placed a bet."

Gu Qingyuan put down the sword in his hand, picked up the cup, drank the water and then said, "So many people have placed bets."

More than she thought.

"Yes," Chunfen seemed a little excited, "but they don't seem to trust the young master very much. More people bet on the young master to lose than on him to win."

After all, her reputation was there. Even if she returned from a victorious battle with her mother this time, people who didn't know her would just think she was still the same as before.

Gu Qingyuan glanced at Chunfen and asked her, "I asked you to bet, did you do it?"

"Of course I bet."

Chunfen showed Gu Qingyuan his empty purse and said, "Including what the young master gave me, I have staked all my belongings."

Gu Qingyuan felt a little embarrassed that Chunfen trusted him so much.

"You bet everything? If I lose, you will have no money left to marry Shi Tou." Gu Qingyuan teased her.

Chunfen shook his head vigorously. "Young Master will not lose. The martial arts competition will be held tomorrow. I think the city is very lively. Young Master, don't you want to go out and take a look?"

"Alright."

Gu Qingyuan has been training Zhaomei and Panmei these past few days. The two have made significant progress and even their appetite has increased a lot.

They are both at the age of growing up, so it is a good thing for them to eat more.

Gu Qingyuan and Chunfen went out together. When they arrived on the street, they found it was really lively as Chunfen had said.

"Look, isn't that Young Master Gu?"

"Young Master Gu is also participating in the martial arts competition this year, but I think they are just joining in the fun. If she can last a match, I will admire her."

"Don't be so absolute. I'm optimistic about Young Master Gu."

Hearing others talking about him, Gu Qingyuan just smiled.

Chunfen added, "Young Master, this time, the bet on you is 50% to 1!"

If they win, they get five times their deposit!

Gu Qingyuan remembered that he took out two hundred taels of silver and asked Chunfen to pawn it. Chunfen had also saved dozens of taels of silver over the years, and he pawned it all.

As Gu Qingyuan walked, Chunfen was chirping to him beside him, just like a little sparrow.

As they walked, they arrived at the venue of the martial arts competition. There was a line there and no one was allowed to enter. Gu Qingyuan and Chunfen could only stand not far away and watch.

"But young master still has to be careful." Chunfen reminded her with some concern.

"I heard that the champions of the previous two tournaments are also participating this year."

She was a woman with great strength, strong muscles and a lovely face.

Comparable to Barbie King Kong.

"okay, I get it."

Gu Qingyuan nodded.

The people setting up the venue saw them coming and drove them away: "The martial arts competition starts tomorrow, go away, come back tomorrow."

Gu Qingyuan pulled Chunfen away and took another look at her before leaving.

On the way back, Gu Qingyuan was suddenly bumped into by someone who rushed out from the corner.

The man seemed to be avoiding someone. After bumping into someone, he didn't say sorry and kept running forward.

Chunfen couldn't bear it anymore and called out to the man.

"Stop, you just bumped into our young master, and you don't even have an apology?"

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Only then did Gu Qingyuan see clearly that the person who bumped into her was a man, but his belly was a bit big. She didn't know whether the impact just now hurt his child.

She was about to ask if his stomach was okay, but was stunned when she saw his face clearly.

Why does this person feel familiar?

When the man saw that it was Gu Qingyuan, he was also stunned and asked tentatively: "Is it Young Master Gu?"

"Ji Yunzheng?"

Ji Yunzheng is the second son of the Ji family, and can also be said to be Ji Mingzhao's elder brother. The original owner had been interested in him and had harassed him before.

However, Gu Qingyuan has no interest in him now. She also heard that two women were fighting for Ji Yunzheng. The child in his belly might be Wang Rong, whom he heard others talking about in gossip in the academy before.

The person chasing him seemed to be from the Wang family. When he saw Ji Yunzheng, he shouted angrily, "Stop! Who told you to run away?"

Ji Yunzheng got pregnant before marriage. Her mother had thought of marrying him to the Gu family while her belly was not obvious, but Gu Qingyuan was unwilling. In the end, her mother married him to the Wang family.

Because getting pregnant before marriage was not a glorious thing, the Wang family didn't even hold a wedding and let Ji Yunzheng marry hastily.

Ji Yunzheng hid behind Gu Qingyuan in fear and begged, "Save me! They will definitely beat me if they take me back. I, I don't want to go back."

After marrying into the Wang family, life was not as good as he had imagined. Wang Rong had a violent tendency and often beat and scolded him. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he escaped from the Wang family and wanted to return to the Ji family.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the man who had been arrogant and dismissive of her before, and now was begging her.

"Since this is your family affair, it's not for me, as an outsider, to interfere."

If I remember correctly, Ji Mingzhao had been bullied by Ji Yunzheng many times when he was in the Ji family.

Because he was born in a low-class family and his biological father was just a servant, Ji Yunzheng, as the second son of the master's husband, naturally looked down on him and even took the lead in bullying him.

Seeing her so indifferent, Ji Yunzheng seemed to not believe his ears. He wanted to touch Gu Qingyuan's arm, but she dodged him before he touched the corner of her clothes.

"You, didn't you like me before? Why didn't you want to save me?"

"Young Master Ji, please don't mention the past."

Not to mention Ji Yunzheng, which handsome man has not been harassed by the original owner before?

However, she only had the desire but not the courage, and nothing had really happened between her and the man.

"but……"

Seeing that he came out alone even though he was pregnant, and that people from the Wang family were chasing after him, Gu Qingyuan thought that his life in the Wang family must not be easy.

When Ji Yunzheng heard the word "but", she thought she had changed her mind.

If my illegitimate brother can marry her, why can't I?

Ji Yunzheng wanted to show off her charm in front of her, but Gu Qingyuan was unmoved and even frowned in disgust.

"But seeing how anxious they are to find you, I think there must be something important."

"They'll beat me to death if they take me back!"

Ji Yunzheng said quickly, and then continued to run forward, and even lost one of her shoes.

"Forget it, Chunfen, why don't you go to Minister Ji's house?"

She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she decided to let the Ji family handle it.

"it is good."

Chunfen received Gu Qingyuan's instructions and headed towards the Ji family.

Those people are still chasing Ji Yunzheng.
