Chapter 109 Follow-up
The second after Chen Xing looked over, Gu Lang seemed to have noticed his gaze, and he also turned his head to look in his direction. When he saw his big eyes staring straight at him, He gently raised the corners of his lips, and said warmly: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xing looked at the gentle smile on Gu Lang's face, and didn't know what to say now. He wanted to ask Mrs. Chen if what she said was true, but he felt uncomfortable.
Neither of them opened their mouths, and the atmosphere in the field was a little awkward for a while.
In fact, Chen Xing's mood at this time was very entangled. Mrs. Chen's words just now were like a thorn with fluff, which was gently pricked there. Even though it didn't hurt much, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.But reason told him that he shouldn't believe anything Mrs. Chen said, because she probably said that just to sow discord.
Just when Chen Xing was hesitating whether to ask, Gu Lang seemed to suddenly understand the reason for Chen Xing's abnormality, and said softly: "Do you want to ask what Mrs. Chen said just now?"
When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang mentioning this topic, he suddenly raised his head to look in Gu Lang's direction, with obvious embarrassment on his face, "I, I have nothing to ask, it's just, just..."
Chen Xing hesitated for a long time, but there was no 'but'. He was not a good liar in the past, and now facing Gu Lang who is staring at him closely, it is even more impossible to lie.
Gu Langquan looked at Chen Xing's flustered look, and smiled softly, and then apologized amidst Chen Xing's astonished expression, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed, it's really the way you were struggling just now, So cute."
Chen Xing, who originally felt a little embarrassed because of prying into other people's privacy, blushed involuntarily after hearing what Gu Lang said, and stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing like this, and continued: "I'm sorry, I should have made it clear to you earlier about what Mrs. Chen said, and the sudden quarrel with the Chen family this time."
After finishing speaking, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing more seriously, making Chen Xing, who was stared at by him, also become serious.
"In the past, our family and the Chen family were very close. I never thought that they would use such a despicable method when our family was in trouble. So when I came back and learned about all this, my mood was extremely complicated. Yes, my first thought was to get revenge."
When Gu Lang said these words, his tone was slightly downcast, as if this incident had hit him hard at the time.
Because of this, Chen Xing also thought of the past, when Gu Lang mentioned his family, the disappointed look on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity for Gu Lang, even with the slightest bit of unhappiness in his heart , also dissipated a lot at this moment.
"After that, I began to plan how to get revenge and get back what I should have. But, what I didn't expect was that they sent you."
When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang say this, his breathing stopped for a while, and he looked up at him, his eyes were full of tension that he didn't notice.He vaguely came up with some thoughts, whether it was because of his appearance that something changed, or he was a part of it.
"I'm very happy and fortunate." Gu Lang said.
Chen Xing suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Lang, as if he was shocked by his speech.
"It's a good thing they sent you here because they didn't want to return the dowry, and they didn't want to marry their daughter to me. If it wasn't for this, I might never have had any contact with you in my life. What a pity it would be!"
Gu Lang seemed to have thought of something good. When he said this, the gentle expression on his face made Chen Xing's heart soften a lot.
Even if it wasn't the first time he heard Gu Lang say that, when Chen Xing heard it again, his heart was still beating uncontrollably.
"I also thought about giving up revenge on the Chen family for you. After all, they sent you. I think it is already worth the things they took away. No, even compared to those things, you are more more important."
Chen Xing's face turned red and white, and finally became a little anxious. He looked at the man in front of him and said anxiously: "But, but, how can it be, it is obviously your family's thing! Even if it is for me, you You shouldn't give up so easily!"
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's flustered look, Gu Lang stared at his eyes more and more tenderly, "So, when I find out later that you don't have that deep affection for them, or even a little affection, I won't hesitate moved his hand."
Chen Xing was taken aback when he heard this, and then remembered his identity as a time traveler, looked up at the man in front of him, and said with a guilty conscience: "That, that, is it so obvious?"
Looking at Chen Xing's guilty look, Gu Lang didn't know what to think, and said something inexplicable, "Because I've been watching you! I can also see your dislike for them. "
Hearing Gu Lang's words that were similar to a confession, Chen Xing felt a little twisted for some reason, but at the same time felt a little happy.Does facing Gu Lang feel like a confession, and sometimes he doesn't know how to respond.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back, everyone is tired today, what can we talk about tomorrow?"
Hearing Gu Lang's suggestion, Chen Xing nodded his head without doing what he thought, and then whispered: "Okay, let's go back first."
When Gu Lang took Chen Xing to leave, Gu Lang looked towards the direction of the execution in the yamen, with an inconspicuous arc showing at the corner of his mouth.
Sensing that Gu Lang stopped, Chen Xing turned his head and glanced at him.
Gu Lang raised his hand and touched his head, and said softly: "It's okay, let's go, let's go home!"
Just now, he heard the continuous wail disappear.When this happens, there are generally only two situations. One is that someone is beaten to death so there is no sound, and the other is that he fainted from pain. I don’t know which kind of master Chen belongs to?
However, it has nothing to do with him.Gu Lang thought indifferently, turned his head to look at Chen Xing beside him, saw that he had regained his usual vitality, and said in detail that everyone had helped him these few days, and that he would invite everyone to dinner tomorrow.
"Well, it's all up to you." Gu Lang easily complied, and then added, "When the time comes, Qiu Jiu and I will help you."

On this end, Gu Lang and Chen Xing left together amicably, and on the other end Mrs. Chen was being carefully carried out of the yamen by someone who had beaten him badly.
Madam Chen had a pale face, looking at the bloodstains on Master Chen's back, she wanted to reach out her hand to see if he was still breathing, but she just stretched it out and then stretched it back, and finally pushed the little maid beside her out, "Go and see if the master is still breathing."
The servant girl looked at the master who was like a blood gourd, and she didn't dare to go over. She looked at Mrs. Chen eagerly, but was stared back by her fierce eyes.
The servant girl was heartbroken for the last time, closed her eyes, and reached out to probe under the master's nose. After feeling the warm breath, she immediately opened her eyes again, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Chen behind her, and said happily: "Madam, Master is still angry."
Mrs. Chen's eyes widened slightly, and the nervousness just now disappeared, and then she returned to her previous high-ranking posture. Looking at the servants who were carrying Master Chen, she ordered sharply: "You hold me steady. If the master bumps into each other, I'll ask you."
After threatening the servants, Mrs. Chen looked at the maid next to her again, and ordered: "Go to the Zhou Family Medical Center, invite Doctor Wang from them, and tell them to bring the best golden sore medicine."
After the maid nodded and left, Mrs. Chen came to the side of Master Chen with a pale face, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Master, why are you so miserable! You were killed by your own brother-in-law?" If this happened, if we knew it would happen, we shouldn't have gotten married in the first place."
The passers-by who didn't know the reason, only saw Master Chen being beaten into blood, heard what Mrs. Chen said, and couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic to Master Chen lying there.
In this way, Mrs. Chen staggered along the way, following the servants who carried Master Chen, and walked back to the Chen family in full view.

This city is said to be big or small, and the Zhao family knew the whole story half an hour after Master Chen was brought home.
The head mistress of the Zhao family leaned on her soft back and listened to the reports of the people below as if she were listening to gossip.
"Ma'am, Mr. Chen was beaten into a blood gourd. When he was carried out of the yamen, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive."
Mrs. Zhao held the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice, "Come on, tell me how he became like this."
"Yes!" The servant saw that Mrs. Zhao was in a good mood, so he dared to follow up with a few words. Now that he heard Mrs. Zhao's order, he didn't dare to do anything else, and told the whole story honestly.
Mrs. Zhao's originally calm expression gradually changed during the servant's narration, and finally sank, she looked at the servant and asked, "You mean, is the Gu family's kid a Juren? Master Chen who was exposed at the end?"
The servant didn't know why Mrs. Zhao, who had been careless before, became so serious all of a sudden. He just looked at her calm face and finally nodded, "Yes, madam."
They knew that the Gu family boy had come back, but they thought he was just a shabby householder at first, so they didn't take it seriously, but now they seem to belittle him.She felt a little uneasy when she thought that Gu Lang deliberately hid his identity and finally caught Master Chen off guard.
Looking at the madam who stood up from the slump all of a sudden, the servant girl next to her asked puzzledly, "Madam, what are you?"
"Come on, let's go to the master, I have something to say to him."
She had to tell her master about this matter, she also knew a little about what happened back then, she didn't think Gu Lang would let them go.Looking at Gu Lang's posture now, they probably had to make preparations earlier.

Chen Xing returned to the Gu Mansion, and went back to his room to rest after a simple meal.He lay on the soft big bed, thinking that the troubles of the past few days were finally resolved, and let out a long breath.
Immediately, Chen Xing thought of what Gu Lang said today, and his face and ears blushed involuntarily.He slowly turned over and buried himself in his life, his ears were red thinking, how could Gu Lang make such a foul, and speak such indecent words in a serious manner every time.
