Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 95

Gu Shixing and Su Yun returned to their room.

As soon as Su Yun closed the door and turned around, he suddenly picked her up. Su Yun was startled and quickly hugged his neck, gently hitting his shoulders twice, and said angrily: "Why are you scaring me!"

After she finished speaking, her eyes met his overly deep eyes. After returning to the room and closing the door, the lust in his eyes was no longer concealed.

It was hot and obvious, and Su Yun's cheeks felt a little hot when he looked at her.

In just a few breaths, Su Yun was carried to the table and he placed her on it.

Su Yun sat on the table, and he placed his palms apart beside her - she was surrounded by him.

Gu Shixing bent down and lowered his head, raised one hand, and placed his fingertips on Su Yun's beautiful lips. With a light touch, his fingertips were stained with the red color of lipstick.

"Too bright and not suitable for you." A deep voice sounded.

Although he said so, his black eyes were fixed on her red lips.

Su Yun's heart was slightly moved, and she then grabbed his hand that was wiping her lips.

Gu Shixing raised his eyes to look at her, and their eyes met. Su Yun lowered her eyes bitterly and whispered, "If you don't think it's good, then don't look at it."

He suddenly leaned in close, their lips only a finger's thickness away, and said without any hesitation: "It looks good."

It was good to see that he was on his way back to his room just now, and his steps were much quicker than usual.

The hot breath Gu Shixing exhaled while he spoke fell on Su Yun's face, warm and hot. The warm breath made her cheeks even more sensitive than before, and they felt hot.

Apart from the one ridiculous night when they first arrived in Lingchuan, they had not had sex again in the next ten days or so.

He was going to investigate the case of Judge Xu, and she was visiting the nobles of Lingchuan almost every day, treating them as snakes. She came back every day so tired that she didn't want to laugh or talk, so how could she enjoy the joy of marriage with him?

It has been nearly half a month since he last came, and Su Yun has been missing him a little.

She was no longer afraid of these things and knew the fun in them. Moreover, after Su Yun was self-reliant when she came to Lingchuan and almost caused Gu Shixing to be defeated, she became much braver.

Although she was shy, she still hugged his neck, tilted her head back slightly, bit his lips lightly and then pulled away. Her almond-shaped eyes were charming because of the red at the corners of her eyes.

Gu Shixing's throat rolled, and the next moment, he supported the back of her head with his palm and suddenly kissed her forcefully, quickly and fiercely, which was not at all like his usual calm and composed temperament.

Su Yun liked to see Gu Shixing being calm and composed in front of others, but losing control in front of her. She liked to see his confused expression due to lust. She liked to hear his hoarse gasps when he was lost in lust.

The ten white and soft fingers couldn't help but insert into his hair, giving him a response.

It was not until a long time later that Su Yun's hair was disheveled and her red lips were breathing lightly, like a small boat swaying on the waves.

From the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of sunlight filtering through the gauze paper into the room, and she was so embarrassed that she covered her eyes with the back of her hands, as if she couldn't see and it wasn't daytime outside.

She never thought that one day they would commit adultery in broad daylight.

This is really outrageous!

The sun sets and the joy ends.

Gu Shixing hugged Su Yun from behind, their bodies rubbing against each other slowly, his nose rubbing against her hair, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't dress like this in the future."

Su Yun paused playing with his fingers and cursed weakly, "Didn't you say I looked good dressed like this? Just now you said I was not serious outside, and now you want me not to dress like this, what do you mean?"

At the end of the conversation, the tone was unhappy.

The tight arm slightly retracted its strength and whispered in her ear, "Too much to attract people."

Su Yun chuckled, then her smile faded. She adjusted herself to a comfortable position in his arms and said softly, "I won't dress like this when we get back to Jindu."

Regardless of whether this kind of dress is suitable for her identity, she doesn't like the fact that everyone's attention is focused on her and discussing her appearance.

"Oh, right." Su Yun moved away from his arms, wrapped in the quilt and turned around, saying to him, "Mrs. Zheng did come today to inquire about the news of Xu Tongpan's son. Seeing her absent-minded look, I think she knows something about the inside story."

At this point, Su Yun asked, "If it was really Prefect Wu who framed Judge Xu, why wasn't Judge Xu anxious, but the son-in-law was anxious instead?"

Gu Shixing's face showed satisfaction after indulging himself, and his voice was deeper than usual: "I don't think it was Governor Wu who framed me."

Su Yun was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

"He might take risks for wealth and power, but he is old and has only a pair of children. He just wants to pave the way for his son. How could he be so foolish as to collude with bandits? Besides, have you seen the wife of the governor worry about this matter in the past few days?"

Su Yun thought about it carefully and shook his head slightly: "No."

Gu Shixing continued, "I have also observed carefully over the past ten days, and Governor Wu has no connection with us. He just hopes that nothing will happen in Lingchuan, so that he can retire and make his son's future smoother."

Naturally, there are other considerations, which is why Gu Shixing had this idea.

"Was it planned by the prefect's son-in-law alone?" Su Yun asked.

Gu Shixing: "The fact that Zheng Zhijing was able to rise from a street vendor to become a prefectural judge and the son-in-law of a prefect shows that he has extraordinary courage and calculation."

Gu Shixing had people investigate Zheng Zhijing's past and found out that he had been involved in all kinds of affairs. The governor's daughter was once in danger and almost lost her innocence, and it was he who rescued her. Although this matter was suppressed, it was no problem for the Dali Temple's elite detectives to investigate these matters.

As a result, Zheng Zhijing entered the government office and became a minor soldier. It took him only two years to become a prison warden. Later, he married the daughter of the prefect and was promoted to the position of prefectural judge.

The reason why Zheng Zhijing mixed with all kinds of people was because his father was a gambler. The year he was promoted to prison warden, his father owed gambling debts and his parents disappeared for half a year. People in the streets said that they were arrested by people from the gambling house.

But Zheng Zhijing worked in the government office and was also a prison warden, so he had some power.

Even if the people in the gambling house don't give face to the monk, they will give face to the Buddha. How dare they provoke Zheng Zhijing easily?

When he came back later, both Zheng and his wife said that they were avoiding debts, and since coming back, Zheng Zhijing's father has never gambled again.

It is not easy for a gambler to quit gambling, unless he has been on the verge of life and death and is too afraid to gamble again.

But where did this couple go during the six months they were missing?

After hearing what Gu Shixing said, Su Yun frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Gu Shixing wanted her to stop thinking about it and wanted to hold her in his arms, but Su Yun pushed him uncomfortably: "It's not wiped yet, it's sticky."

Gu Shixing smiled helplessly, then lifted the quilt and stood up.

Su Yun immediately covered her eyes with her hands. Gu Shixing couldn't help laughing when he saw her coquettish behavior, but his smile was helpless.

While putting on her clothes, he said to her, "Now that everything has been figured out, you don't have to deal with Lingchuan's noble family every day. Besides, I don't know if Zheng Zhijing will notice something and make a move on you."

Hearing this, Su Yun lowered his hands from his eyes and looked at Gu Shixing, who was only wearing long pants, but still showing his muscular upper body.

After thinking for a few breaths, he nodded and said, "Then I will use the excuse of catching a cold to reject your invitation." After a pause, he continued, "I will ask the servants to deliver dinner to the house and ask someone to invite a doctor to the mansion."

Gu Shixing nodded and thought for a moment: "The maid named Qiancao beside you seems to have caught a cold, so you can ask her to pretend to be you and take the doctor's pulse."

Su Yun smiled knowingly, and then urged him: "I see, please get someone to bring in hot water quickly, I'm not feeling well."

Gu Shixing nodded, put on his long gown, and walked out of the room wearing only his outer robe. After opening the door, he told the servants to prepare hot water and bring it into the side room for his wife to wash.

*

A few days later, news spread in the streets that the former Tongpan's son was attacked by bandits on his way back to Lingchuan.

Fortunately, the people who escorted him back were very skilled and fought off all the bandits.

Lingnan has many mountains and is also home to many bandits. After the incident with Xu Tongpan, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits several times, and the results were remarkable. Therefore, in the past few years, except for the occasional bandits, they are not as rampant as before.

Perhaps this could be the reason. The bandits all bore a grudge against Judge Xu Tong, and it is not entirely impossible that they wanted to make Xu Tong's descendants extinct.

After a few days, Xu Hao, the son of the former Tongpan, also returned to Huaizhou safely.

The official who helped Xu Tongpan to overturn the case was not someone else, but Prince Gu, who returned to Lingchuan to worship his ancestors and investigate the tragic case of the Yang family.

On the day Xu Hao came back, Gu Shixing had someone take him to the government office, and also asked everyone who had been involved in Xu Tongpan's case to come to the government office, from the prefect to the jailer.

When Governor Wu heard about this, he happened to be playing chess with his son-in-law in the study.

Upon hearing this, Governor Wu muttered, "The case has already been settled, why are you still making a fuss?"

But deep down, he was also worried that he had really handled a wrongful case back then. Not only would he not be able to retire with honor, but it would also affect his son's future.

Zheng Zhijing had a bad feeling in his heart.

He asked the messenger, "Who is in the government office now?"

The messenger said, "Most of the people who were involved in the case of Xu Tongpan have arrived." After thinking for a moment, he said, "There is also an old man I haven't seen before. I heard from others that he used to be the chief clerk of the government office. I think his surname is Zhou."

Zheng Zhijing's heart suddenly sank. He had replaced the statement documents in the warehouse, but the original manuscript had long been burned to ashes. Only Zhou Zhen knew the original manuscript.

If Zhou Zhen was questioned in detail about why he resigned from the position of chief clerk, and he could not help but confess that he resigned because he was threatened by him for corruption and bribery, Gu Shixing would probably be the first to suspect him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhijing's eyes flashed with a sinister look.

——Zhou Zhen can’t stay any longer.

What made Zheng Zhijing feel even more depressed was yet to come.

When I arrived at the government office, I learned that Gu Shixing had sent people to various government offices in Lingchuan to investigate whether any death row prisoners had escaped from prison or been taken away four years ago.

All portraits of prisoners who were executed, escaped from prison, or were taken away during those two months were also retrieved.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhijing had a vague idea in his heart - Gu Shixing's claim of investigating the Yang Mansion massacre was just an excuse, and the actual purpose was to investigate the case of Pan Xu!

Thinking of this, many things have become more doubtful.

For example - was it my wife who approached the prince's wife, or was it the prince's wife who deliberately approached my wife?

Without giving Zheng Zhijing time to think, he put away all his thoughts. Now in the government office, he had to focus on dealing with Gu Shixing.

All the people arrived at the government office. Those without power or position stood in the courtyard outside, while seven people sat in the hall. Gu Shixing, his seventh cousin, the prefect, and Zheng Zhijing accounted for four of them.

The other three were Xu Hao who came back from the northern border, Zhou Zhen who was brought back just a few days after returning to his hometown, and the last one was Zhao Mo who was in charge of the clan files and recorded the ransom of stolen goods.

The hall was quiet, and everyone was looking at Gu Shixing who was drinking tea leisurely and calmly.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shixing, with a cold and indifferent expression, slowly spoke: "If the former judge was really wronged, you are all responsible. No matter what, you are all guilty of negligence."

Everyone's face looked unhappy at this moment.

Xu Hao suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Shixing, his voice firm and powerful: "My father has been a judge for more than ten years. He has devoted his life to the court and worked hard for the people. He has worked diligently for more than ten years, but one day he was falsely accused of collusion with bandits and died with a dirty name on his back. I hope you can seek justice for my father!"

Gu Shixing put the cup on the table and said slowly, "The court has handed this case over to me, so I will naturally not slack off. As for whether your father really colluded with the bandits or was wrongly accused, there will be a conclusion soon."
