Chapter 8 8 Vomiting
After finishing his work, Gu Hua went back to his room to take a nap.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ju, who had left the Gu residence, had taken advantage of Mother Wang's absence to rent a house and ran to the fifth room's house to give the gatekeeper some silver coins. She was informed that she had met her beloved Gu Yuming.

Upon learning that Qiuju and her mother were both sent out of the Gu Mansion, Gu Yuming lost interest in this maid who was of little use.

He likes women like the one in the building, who are not only beautiful but also charming and alluring. He is much more interesting than the ordinary-looking woman in front of him who doesn't even know it.

Just when Gu Yuming wanted to call the servants to chase Qiu Ju out, her words made Gu Yuming hold back his words.

Qiu Ju angrily complained to Gu Yuming, "During this period, Gu Hua Lao went out alone and did not allow the servants to follow him. I wonder if he has someone else outside that is why he is so cruel to me."

Gu Yuming was amazed by Qiuju's strange train of thought. If he hadn't opened the package for the woman in front of him, it would have sounded as if she and Gu Hua were having an affair.

"How long has it been since he banned anyone from going out with him?" Gu Yuming asked casually.

Qiu Ju thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be about a month."

"About a month." Gu Yuming narrowed his eyes, and the copper ring in his eyes was full of calculation.

……

Gu Hua slept until the afternoon, then got up and ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodles that Dongmei specially made for her.

Then he walked into the study in the main courtyard, sat on a chair, and rested his chin on his hand, thinking about how to revive the mess of the Gu Mansion, which was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Thinking of what Gu Chen wanted to say but hesitated before leaving that day, what else did Gu Hua not understand?

I'm afraid that except for the original owner, the head of the Gu family was deceiving herself, she thought that no one had noticed that she took out the family's money to maintain the dignity of the Gu family and the business world.

There are probably few people who are unaware of the Gu family's store management's failure to meet the requirements of the Gu family. The Gu family is already at the end of its strength and is about to decline.

This also explains the real meaning of why Gu Chen asked her to refuse what should be refused in the clan.

Otherwise, if she couldn't withstand the clan members coming to rob the Gu Mansion from time to time, it wouldn't be long before the fact that the original owner was penniless would be exposed.

Some time ago, Gu Hua was worried that he would be exposed as not the real original owner, so when he inspected the Gu family shop, he just went through the motions.

It seems that next time I go downstairs to check on the store’s business situation, I can’t be so perfunctory.

Gu Hua remembered that the man's subordinates had come to Jiangzhou shortly after he took the poison. She planned to send the man away from the farm before going to inspect the business in the surrounding counties.

Even though I know that the man is of extremely noble status.

Gu Hua never thought of letting his future child recognize his father.
The royal family's muddy water is not easy to wade through. Didn't you see that even this capable dog man was poisoned? It is obvious that few people in the royal family can live to old age in peace and success.

Let the tadpole in your stomach be an ordinary person.

……

The next day, Gu Hua also went to the farm in the carriage driven by Lin Bo.

As soon as she walked out of the city gate, Gu Hua keenly felt that someone was following her, so she told Lin Bo to turn a corner and go another way.

Gu Hua stopped the carriage and got off to look at the scenery, then jumped off to relieve herself. Perhaps the people following her thought that she was a man and there was nothing good to see, so they did not follow her into the woods.

Because of this small negligence, the two were easily knocked unconscious by Gu Hua who came up from behind them in the woods. Uncle Lin came over and recognized them as two ruffians on the street.

After Gu Hua woke one of them up, he found out that it was a servant from the fifth house of the Gu family who paid them to follow him. Gu Hua guessed that the man was most likely Gu Yuming.

The person who made him interested in her whereabouts could be none other than Qiu Ju, who had served him and noticed that there was something unusual about her movements during this period.

After Gu Hua knocked the man unconscious again, he heard from Uncle Lin that these two scoundrels had insulted many young girls and wives on the street and done many bad things.

So he decided to do one good deed every day to eliminate these two disasters for the people of Jiangzhou City.

Gu Hua handed the two ruffians over to Lin Bo, who was also skilled in martial arts, and drove the carriage to the farm to deal with the man who was now redundant.

Not long after, two dishevelled men appeared at a mine in the deep mountains and forests, digging and carrying stones. If they were slow, they would be whipped.

The two scoundrels never figured out until their death how they could have figured out that they were just paid to follow a man, but when they woke up they were thrown into this mine and became coolies.

Gu Yuming, who had not received a reply for a long time, just thought that they took the money and ran away when something happened. He never thought that the two of them would suffer a fate worse than death because of his bribery.

Gu Hua came to the farm and saw no one in the courtyard.

After finding Uncle Ya and following the direction he pointed, Gu Hua saw a tall figure sitting by the pond outside the village. The sun shone on him through the lush trees, casting colorful shadows, as if scattering circles of golden light.

When Xiao Junlin heard the approaching footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he obviously knew who was coming.

Gu Hua approached and wanted to tease this stinky man who could not even reply to a single sentence after he said ten sentences every time he chatted, so he said in a fierce voice: "Guess who I am?"

Just as her fair and slender palm was about to fall on the man's broad shoulders, Xiao Junlin's body instantly tensed up and he instinctively grabbed the other's hand, pulling and tugging. When he remembered that the person behind him was not his enemy, Gu Hua had already been held in front of him by his wrist.

"Let go." Gu Hua lowered his head and looked at the claws that were restraining his chest, and shouted in hatred with gritted teeth.

Fortunately, I wrapped the two buns tightly enough, so even if a man put his hand there, it would be difficult for him to find the softness hidden inside.

Xiao Junlin slowly let go of the person in his arms, but he was stunned for a moment when he suddenly inhaled a faint lotus fragrance, as if he had smelled it there before.

What made him even more confused was the person he was imprisoned in front of him. Both the voice and the flat part that his palm had just touched clearly proved that this was a real man. Why did he feel such a beating heart?

"Yeah...sorry."

Perhaps because he rarely apologized to others, the man's voice was stiff and low.

"It's okay, just a joke." Gu Hua was just a little embarrassed, and didn't really blame Xiao Junlin for suddenly attacking her. After all, she was the one who came up with the idea of ​​teasing him first.

To ease the embarrassment, Gu Hua stretched his head and looked at the wooden barrel next to him. There were seven or eight palm-sized fish swimming in it.

"Wow, I actually caught it." Gu Hua was very surprised how the blind man could catch the fish.

Xiao Junlin clenched the hands behind his back, as if the warmth of the person in front of him was still lingering on them. He wondered in his heart, do men also have body odor?
"Ah... ugh!"

As the fishy smell drifted into his nose, Gu Hua felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly a surge in his throat, as if he wanted to vomit.
