Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Are you sure you can afford double the price?"

Cui Ji said, and punched Guo Rui accurately on the bridge of the nose through the sack. The sound of broken bones was heard instantly.

Guo Rui fainted from the pain, and was quickly beaten to wake up. Life was worse than death.

"Hero, spare your life, I can afford any amount of money!"

Guo Rui cried for his father and mother. The bridge of his nose was beaten flat, his face was crooked, and he looked miserable. The pain at his vitals was so painful that he was almost numb, making him sweat.

Who is behind the scenes, the Guo family's business enemies, or the Shen family?

The blood all over Guo Rui's body had long since solidified. Only his brain could still move, and he couldn't figure it out.

Cui Ji showed mercy, and when he saw that the beating was almost done, he said slowly: "Master Guo, use money to help others eliminate disasters. Originally, the man offered 500 taels to buy your life. You are lucky enough to catch up with me at home." I am worried about getting someone's life in my hands when I collide with you, so I made an exception and broke the rules, so I will spare your life."

When Guo Rui heard this, he was even more angry and speechless. Is his life worth 500 taels of silver?

The person in front of me didn't go out to inquire, but Guo Rui stamped his foot, which made Su Cheng shake three times!

"I will give you all the banknotes I have on me. Who is causing trouble?"

Guo Rui groaned in pain and gritted his teeth for a long time to hold back a complete sentence.

Cui Ji quickly collected the banknotes and ordered his men to loot the carriage. Then he said: "There are rules on the road. Mr. Guo should be careful in his words and deeds. No matter how rich the Guo family is, they are still merchants. Don't sue them." Officer, it will not be good for you or the Guo family to tear it apart."

By the time Guo Rui crawled out of the sack, Cui Ji was nowhere to be seen.

Guo Da came over with several servants and cried bitterly: "Sir, I'm looking for someone to help carry the carriage. How come..."

Report to the official, must report to the official!

In broad daylight, not only seeking wealth, but also killing people, how can it be unreasonable!

Guo Dazheng was about to turn around when Guo Rui stopped him and said, "Wait a minute! Guo Dazha, please inquire about Shen Tinglan's recent movements."

Guo Rui believed what that person said.

He went to Jishitang for treatment and found a seal on the door, so he went to the best orthopedic surgeon for treatment.

About an hour later, Guo Da came back sweating profusely and looking not very good.

"Master, Mrs. Shen..."

Guo Da thought it would be better to wait until today, fearing that the young master would not be able to bear the excitement.

Guo Rui looked gloomy, picked up the teacup and threw it against the wall. The teacup shattered into pieces with a bang, and the hot tea left yellow and green watermarks on the wall, with a few tea leaves attached to them.

Guo Da couldn't help but shrink his neck and said hesitantly: "Sir, why don't you go back home to recover first?"

Guo Ruigang learned that he was inhumane and wanted to strangle Shen Tinglan to death. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions and said: "Tell me, I am not scared!"

"Mr. Shen followed the sisters in the clan to visit Xie Zhao's wife Jiang Yuzhu in the Xie Mansion and asked Jiang Yuzhu to make the decision. In order to achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to use..."

Guo Da couldn't say anything. Under Guo Rui's gloomy gaze, he trembled and said, "I don't hesitate to design a miscarriage to attract Jiang Yuzhu's sympathy."

The Xie Mansion had no intention of concealing the matter. Guo Da spent two taels of silver to easily find out the whole story.

He didn't expect that Shen Tinglan, who had always been weak, would put up such a big fight for peace.

"Sir, I really didn't see that Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied with you. She only said that she would go back to her parents' house for a short stay, but she didn't..."

Seeing his young master's expression getting colder and colder, Guo Da couldn't continue talking.

Because Guo Rui was drunk and almost gave Shen Tinglan a miscarriage, Shen Tinglan held a grudge but couldn't hold it back and ran back to her parents' home to cause so many troubles.

"You are not kind to Mr. Shen!"

Guo Da carefully observed his young master's expression and muttered something.

Guo Rui used the best wound medicine, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart. He was half-lying on the small couch, closing his eyes and meditating.

When Guo Da thought that his young master was about to fall asleep, Guo Rui suddenly opened his eyes with deep eyes and said word by word: "A biting dog doesn't bark. Does Shen Tinglan think that she will run away from the Guo family without her child?"

Why did Shen Tinglan marry him in the first place? Guo Rui's heart was like a mirror.

"It's just a concubine's dirty hooves. It's not perfect before it reaches hairpins..."

Guo Rui curled his lips sarcastically and revealed the secret hidden in his heart.

Guo Da's eyes widened and he hesitated: "Master, we can't afford to offend the Shen family. There are some things you'd better not say."

After all, Shen Tinglan is the daughter of the Shen family, and if she talks about it, it will affect the reputation of the Shen family.

"Otherwise, why do you think I tolerate her?"

A few years ago, Guo Ruigang took over the Guo family's rouge and gouache shop. He hid in the shop to look for beauties for himself, and fell in love with Shen Tinglan, who had not yet had haircuts.

Shen Tinglan was weak, her eyes were always wet, she wore a plain skirt, and she walked like a weak Liu Fufeng. Guo Rui was fascinated by her, said all kinds of good things to her, and spent a lot of money to win the beauty's heart.

After learning that Shen Tinglan was a concubine, Guo Rui wanted to join the Shen family, but he thought Shen Tinglan was not qualified and had no intention of marrying her.

"Shen Tinglan came to me and told her that her third sister, Shen Zhilan, was in the boudoir and was very competitive. The family was planning to marry other prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. If I married Shen Zhilan, the Guo family would be a legitimate in-law of the Shen family, and I would definitely get help in business in the future. help."

Guo Rui thought about it carefully and found that Shen Tinglan's analysis made sense.

"Sir, the third young lady of the Shen family is a direct descendant and will definitely get married."

Guo Da didn't know the inside story and was in shock.

Anyone with a little bit of brain would know that Shen Tinglan's words are not trustworthy.

Of course Guo Rui was not stupid, and sneered: "Of course not obviously. What if Shen Zhilan ruined her reputation?"

The rules of the Shen family are strict. If you fall into the river and get wet and then have physical contact with a man, the marriage will be safe.

Guo Rui and Shen Tinglan's schemes were closely linked, and they found "witnesses". The two agreed that in exchange Guo Rui would give Shen Tinglan a large sum of money as a reward for the completion of the matter.

"Sir, why didn't you marry Miss Zhilan?"

The Shen family did a good job of keeping secrets, and even as a servant of the Guo family, Guo Da didn't know about it.

Externally, Guo Rui fell in love with the daughter of the Shen family at first sight and wanted to marry him. The Shen family did not place much importance on family status, so they arranged for the marriage.

"Guo Da, you are really as stupid as a dog, why did you marry Shen Tinglan? Of course it was because Shen Tinglan was the one who fell into the river!"

Guo Rui felt depressed for a long time when the calculation failed.

When she got involved with Shen Tinglan, Shen Tinglan was no longer clear about it. The Guo family gave him a large sum of money as a betrothal gift and made him a cuckold, but Guo Rui couldn't tell her the pain.

"Sir, why do you go to the Shen family to reason with you? We have no choice but to admit it, otherwise if it is exposed, the Shen family will learn that you are plotting against Shen Zhilan, and the Shen family and the Guo family will probably turn against each other!"

Even if he is beaten up, considering the interests of the Guo family, it is not time to break up.

Guo Da glanced at Guo Rui sympathetically and shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, you are so aggrieved!"

Guo Rui: "..."

He was already feeling aggrieved, but being pitied by his servants made Guo Rui feel a lump in his heart, which made him even more aggrieved.

"Let's go to Shen's house to pick up Shen Tinglan."

Guo Rui smiled sinisterly, leaned forward and got into the carriage with Guo Da's help.
