Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 231 How could he not be angry?

Gu Yichuan strode in. He was relieved when he saw Shen Nankui standing safely in the yard.

Then, he looked at Cai Ling coldly with a rather unfriendly tone.

"Mr. Cai, you are my wife's friend and have done us a favor. I have always respected you, but why did you play such a joke on Gu?"

Upon learning that Shen Nankui and Cai Ling had disappeared together in Shuiyun Tower, he initially thought that Cai Ling had gone to see his wife for something. Although it was very unethical for a married woman to be alone with a man outside her family, he knew his wife's character, so he was willing to give her enough trust and respect, and did not think there was anything wrong with this.

But as time went by, there was still no news from the two of them, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

I began to doubt whether the person who took Shen Nankui away was really Cai Ling?

My wife has a steady personality. Even if she wants to leave, she will never try to escape and make no one look for her. So, it is very likely that she did not leave voluntarily.

As for Cai Ling, although Gu Yichuang was not close to him, he believed in his wife's judgment. Although Cai Ling was a man of the world, except for the rule that he did not deal with government officials, his behavior was not out of the ordinary. Instead, he was always proper and thoughtful. When getting along with his wife, he always abided by the rules and never gave people a chance to talk about him or embarrass her.

So, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

If Cai Ling had not taken Shen Nankui away, it would mean that his wife would be in danger. Gu Yichuan could not bear the thought of this possibility, so he ordered people to look for them everywhere in and outside the city.

After a day of gaining nothing, he had already rehearsed countless possibilities in his mind.

But fortunately, Shen Nankui returned safely.

It was Cai Ling who sent her back.

How could he not be angry?

He was not angry that his wife was with Cai Ling, but that Cai Ling took advantage of everyone's trust in him and fooled everyone.

Shen Nankui knew that he had misunderstood him, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Yichuan, today's incident has nothing to do with Mr. Cai. The person who took me away was not him. You misunderstood him. Tell Lian Qi and the others to put away their weapons."

"Is it really not him?" Gu Yichuan was slightly surprised.

"No," Shen Nankui sighed, "This is a long story, let's go inside and talk."

Gu Yichuan waved his sleeves, and several people put away their weapons and went into the front hall together.

Shen Nankui told everyone the whole story.

"It's actually a disguise technique?"

This kind of strange and ingenious skill that can make the fake look real has only been heard of in legends, but they never expected that they would actually encounter it one day.

Zheng Hui sighed, "Those who practice martial arts have better eyesight than ordinary people. I said I could see clearly that the person by the window was undoubtedly Mr. Cai, but how come in the end they said it wasn't him? It turned out to be a disguise!"

Shen Nankui concealed the fact that Jin Feishuang had changed her into a wedding dress and locked her and Cai Ling in a room, and only said, "I heard from Mr. Cai that Miss Jin's disguise skills are at the pinnacle, and she is known as the 'Man of a Thousand Faces' in the martial arts world. This time, she was invited by me to travel all the way from the East China Sea to Yongzhou, but I missed the appointment with her due to some changes, so she was a little angry and played this joke on me."

After hearing what she said, Cai Ling glanced at her sideways, with a look of slight surprise on his face.

She called the intentional attack on her a joke. Does that mean she has no intention of pursuing Jin Feishuang's fault?

After hearing this, everyone understood.

Feng Ze said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Alas, these people in the underworld are just unruly. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can just come and ask for some gold and silver compensation. Why do they have to tease people like this and make the whole city uneasy? Now the people think that some evil thieves have sneaked into the city again!"

Song Chang poked his arm, signaling him to be more careful with his words. Cai Ling was still sitting here, and he was also a man of the world.

After Gu Yichuan knew the whole story, he realized that he had misunderstood Cai Ling. He stood up and hugged him, "Mr. Cai, I didn't know the truth before, and I'm sorry for offending you."

Cai Ling shook his head calmly, "No problem."

Gu Yichuan said, "Mr. Cai persuaded his friend to escort my wife back. I am very grateful. You have worked hard along the way. I have asked someone to prepare a guest room for Mr. Cai to rest."

"Your Excellency's intention is kind, so I respectfully obey your orders."

He stood up, nodded slightly, and followed the servant to the guest room.

Everyone left too.

Gu Yichuan and Shen Nankui returned to the room. Shen Nankui had not eaten anything since she was taken away by Jin Feishuang. She was so hungry that she could hardly stand. She collapsed on the couch and called He Hua without caring what time it was. "Hurry up and ask the cook to make something to eat. Anything is fine."

Seeing her like this, Hehua felt distressed and brought her a plate of osmanthus cake.

"Someone has been asked to do it. Madam, please have some snacks first."

Shen Nankui ate some snacks while waving his hand and said, "Go and urge them again."

After Hehua left, they were the only ones left in the room. Shen Nankui saw Gu Yichuan staring at her, smiled and said, "Yichuan, I'm sorry to have worried you today. You've been busy looking for me all day, and I'm afraid you haven't eaten anything. Let's eat something together."

She handed over the osmanthus cake, and Gu Yichuan took it but didn't eat it.

There was a trace of contemplation in his eyes, "Nan Kui, you don't look like you were just teased. What else did Jin Feishuang do to you?"

Shen Nankui sighed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but I didn't intend to hide it from you."

She pushed Gu Yichuan's arm and said, "Let's talk while we eat."

While the two were eating snacks, Shen Nankui told them Jin Feishuang's real purpose.

After hearing this, Gu Yichuan's face turned cold, "How could she plot against you like this? This matter cannot be let go like this!"

Shen Nankui said: "Forget it, what else can I do?"

She didn't mention it before because, firstly, she didn't want to implicate Cai Ling and damage their reputations, and secondly, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she just let it slip.

Gu Yichuan's eyes were gloomy. "If she dares to harm you, she must pay the price."

Shen Nankui sighed, "Actually, if you think about it, apart from being hungry for a day, I didn't suffer any damage."

Gu Yichuan refused, "But I can't tolerate someone plotting against you like this. If I don't teach her a lesson, what will happen if she does it again in the future?"

Shen Nankui shook his head, "Yichuan, you know I am not the type to keep silent. If I really suffer a loss, I will definitely try my best to get it back, but today's matter is a little different."

She said slowly: "Today's incident was caused by Mr. Cai. It was just a misunderstanding. I believe Jin Feishuang attacked me because she was impulsive. And I can sense that she has no ill will towards me."

"Actually, if I were to say I was angry, I was also angry, and I thought about taking revenge on her. It would be best if I could arrest her and put her in jail for three to five years to see if she would dare to act so lawless in the future."

"But the question is, can we catch her?"

The reason why the art of disguise is so popular is because it can change one's appearance. Jin Feishuang is good at this, so how easy is it to catch her?

So Shen Nankui said early on that she was a person who could walk outside the law and regulations.

Shen Nankui smiled bitterly, "Don't forget, she is a 'many-faced person'. Not only can she pretend to be Cai Ling, but she can also pretend to be anyone else. How can we find her from the vast crowd?"
