After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 375

Aunt Zhao did not understand and was full of doubts in her heart.

Ye Zhuohua took the person to the hall and heaved a deep sigh, "Mrs. Gu..."

Aunt Zhao already felt something was wrong... Her eyes grew hot and tears instantly welled up and spilled out.

......

Ye Family Manor.

When Gu Ying woke up, it was already bright outside.

The bedside was empty, exuding a faint coolness. She reached out and touched it, and was so frightened that she woke up completely.

"Du—"

Hearing the noise from inside, the person outside lifted the curtain and walked in, still holding a bowl of steaming hot medicinal soup.

The man sat down on the edge of the bed, the corners of his lips hooked up into a faint curve. With one hand, he pulled her into his arms so that she was leaning against his chest.

"Awake?"

The delicate little woman in his arms was soft and weak, nestling gently in his embrace. Her cheeks were rosy, the tip of her nose pink, looking extremely well-behaved.

Zhao Changdu's heart softened a little. He picked up the medicine bowl again.

Gu Ying looked blankly at the man's smooth and graceful jawline, then her gaze fell on the medicinal bowl in his hand, somewhat bewildered. "Du... where are we?"

Zhao Changdu fed her the medicine with a spoon, his eyes cold and tinged with a hint of imperceptible gloom. "My aunt's manor. This is the prescription given by the old divine doctor. Last night, your fetus was disturbed. For the sake of our child, Ah Ying needs to be obedient and drink all the medicine."

Gu Ying lowered her head to take in the bitter medicine, not saying a word, obediently drinking it all.

After drinking, she turned her face to the side and looked expectantly at the man's aloof and noble face. "Du, where's my Fourth Younger Sister?"

Zhao Changdu put down the medicine bowl and stroked the girl's soft cheeks with his hand. "Don't worry, she's in the next room."

Gu Ying no longer felt sleepy. She said she wanted to get out of bed.

Zhao Changdu didn't dare let her move about randomly. He took her into his arms. "I'll take you to see her."

Only when he held her in his arms did he deeply feel just how petite and delicate this woman carrying his child was.

The man's brows and eyes sank. An inexplicable complex emotion arose in his heart.

Gu Ying didn't think too much about it. She only felt a warmth in her heart. She hooked her arms around his slender neck, completely satisfied to lean against him and closed her eyes slightly. She really didn't want to recall what happened last night. She could let it go, but her Fourth Younger Sister was innocent...

When they arrived next door, Qin was also there.

Gu Ying got down from the prince's arms and anxiously pulled her aunt's hand. "Aunt, how is my Fourth Younger Sister?"

On the bed, Gu Shuang was still unconscious.

Ye Qingchi was sitting at the bedside, glancing at the person on the bed from time to time, with an unusually serious expression.

Qin pulled Gu Ying to the side with a smile. "The old divine doctor has seen her. Her body is fine, just some superficial injuries. As long as she rests and recuperates well, she will recover completely."

Gu Ying sat down next to Qin, worriedly glancing at the weak figure on the bed. "Aunt, what about Mu Nanfeng?"

Qin coldly snorted, "I had someone tie him up and break his limbs first, and locked him in the wood shed."

Gu Ying frowned in disgust. This Mu Nanfeng was simply a beast.

If not for her last night, who knows if her Fourth Younger Sister could have kept her life.

Seeing her displeasure, Qin said seriously, "Ying, how do you want to deal with him? Aunt will listen to you."

After thinking about it, she laughed again. "In fact, there is no need for Ying to worry. I'm afraid the prince won't let him off either. As for his followers, the prince killed most of them last night, so there is no more threat."

Speaking of the prince last night, she still had lingering fears.

Mu Nanfeng's stronghold was so huge that the Eastern Liang imperial court would send troops to suppress the bandits every year, yet they were never able to conquer the main base of Qingfeng Stockade. Who would have thought that with Zhao Changdu alone, he could wipe out half of their men and horses.

She turned her face slightly and glanced in Zhao Changdu's direction.

The man was sitting at the eight immortals table, wearing a black gold-threaded patterned brocade robe with wide sleeves and a long gown. Lofty, coldly beautiful, like a heap of snow on a high mountain, clear and indifferent, detached from worldly affairs.

After leaving the palace last night, he didn't even have time to return home and went straight to Qingfeng Stockade. He killed so many people yet his wide-sleeved long robes were spotless.

This man... if he wasn't the national hero who defended the country, I'm afraid he would have become a demon who upended the world.

Fortunately, this monster could still be restrained by Ying. This was also a good thing.

Gu Ying's slender brows furrowed lightly. "Aunt, one Mu Nanfeng alone is nothing to fear. I'm just worried about the person behind him. It can't be as simple as just targeting my Fourth Younger Sister."

Qin said solemnly, "What does Ying mean?"

Gu Ying couldn't say exactly. She only had an extremely uneasy premonition, as if there was an invisible big hand lurking in the dark, silently pushing everything along.

For the plan now, it would be to start with Mu Nanfeng, and first catch the woman who had instructed him.

Qin was puzzled when she heard this. "A woman as beautiful as you?"

Gu Ying nodded. "This is what Mu Nanfeng said. Aunt, who do you think this person could be?"

Qin had been on good terms with the Zhao family for some time. Whether there was anything going on or not, she would always invite Madam Zhao over to get together. When Madam Zhao was free, she would also bring Gu Shuang along. So she knew Gu Shuang very well. The young lady was obedient and sensible, not quarrelsome or petty, and would definitely not have casually offended anyone.

As for beauties that could rival Gu Ying in this city of Bianjing, there weren't many.

Qin immediately laughed. "How is that possible? Ying is peerless in beauty. If there really were such a person, Aunt would definitely not have forgotten her if I had seen her before. Even the noble ladies in the circles of nobles in the capital, I haven't seen any young lady more beautiful than Ying."

This was no flattery.

When Aunt said this, Gu Ying was even more puzzled in her heart.

Ye Qingchi didn't know when he had walked over from the bedside. His voice was cold. "Since we can't guess who it is, then go ask Mu Nanfeng."

Gu Ying raised her head. "Cousin?"

Ye Qingchi's expression was not very good, his brows tightly knitted, shrouded in a cloud of gloomy air over his brow. "Let's go."

Gu Ying looked at him blankly for a moment, then nodded slightly and got up.

The prince came over and took her hand. A warmth transmitted from between his fingers and Gu Ying lightly pursed her lips. She lowered her voice, "Du, don't you feel that my cousin seems to be too concerned about my Fourth Younger Sister?"

Zhao Changdu chuckled lightly. "Does Ying know who brought your Fourth Younger Sister here last night?"

Gu Ying blinked. "Who was it?"

Zhao Changdu smiled faintly. "It was your cousin."

Gu Ying knitted her brows. "Then what about Fu Xunzhi?"

Zhao Changdu coldly snorted. "I heard he went down the mountain overnight."

When Gu Ying heard this, she was full of questions. As her Fourth Younger Sister's fiancé, it was not Fu Xunzhi who had brought her Fourth Younger Sister back?!

What was that man up to?

Did he not want her Fourth Younger Sister anymore?

Before she could think more, they had arrived at the woodshed.

None of them were up to any good. As soon as Mu Nanfeng caught sight of Madam Qin, who had not left her residence in a long time, his eyes narrowed. But before he could speak, Ye Qingchi cleanly and decisively slapped him.

The man's blow was so great that Mu Nanfeng's teeth were half knocked out instantly. The flesh on his cheeks shook and he was stunned for a long time.

"Speak, who instructed you to abduct people in Bianjing?"
