Rebirth: Married a Fake Husband

Back in the lobby, Gu Ze went to his small laboratory on the first floor.

Today, we are going to extract the juice of a kind of medicinal material, which has a slight paralyzing effect. We need to be careful during the experiment. In addition to the paralyzing effect, this juice also has a little bit of corrosiveness.

When Gu Ze saw that the skin on his hands was a little red and festered, he realized that it was accidentally splashed on his hands, and the paralyzing effect made him unaware at first.

After rinsing for a while, the wound was very small. The laboratory had emergency medicine, so after a bit of treatment, Gu Ze returned to the experiment, pursing his lips tightly, not to be distracted anymore.

After failing three times in a row, Gu Ze put down the instruments and medicinal materials in his hands, and stood in front of the experiment table, his thoughts restless.

When Layton left in the morning, the two were still very close, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but stop thinking about it.

All kinds of doubts in the past came to mind one by one now. The words of the old housekeeper and Layton, who was completely different from the photo, made Gu Ze more and more uneasy.

The old butler can be said to be the person who knows Layton best. After all, he grew up watching him, and the Layton he met is the baron who the old butler said was obsessed with mechanical forging since he was a child.

Layton rarely talked about the things he forged.

Gu Ze remembered what happened in the basement last night. Layton said that he was checking the parts. Subconsciously, Gu Ze left the laboratory and wanted to go to the basement to have a look.

A maid saluted and greeted him softly. Gu Ze walked quickly, thinking about something in his mind, but didn't notice it.

The maid was a little surprised, usually Lord Zhengjun would nod and smile no matter how busy he was, but today he didn't know what happened, but it was her duty to salute, it would be fine even if Lord Zhengjun didn't respond.

On the stairs in the basement, Gu Ze hadn't taken a few steps when he saw Lin Xia coming up from below.

"Master Zhengjun," Lin Xia saluted Gu Ze.

Gu Ze nodded, didn't speak, and wanted to continue walking down.

"Master Zhengjun, please stop." Lin Xia called Gu Ze to stop, and asked him with a smile, "What's the matter, Lord Zhengjun?"

Gu Ze looked at Lin Xia, and he could tell from usual times that Layton trusted her very much, as well as Jiang Chen.

"It's nothing, I just want to go down and have a look." Gu Ze tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

Lin Xia nodded and said, "Master Zhengjun, the basement is cold and cold. Lord Baron said that you should not go there often."

Gu Ze saw that she stopped him and moved out of Layton, so his tone could not help but be a little stiff: "I want to go down and have a look."

Hearing this, Lin Xia smiled helplessly, turned around to lead the way for Gu Ze, and walked down.

"What are you doing down there?" Gu Ze asked Lin Xia, his face no longer had the usual gentleness, and his expression was very serious.

Lin Xia replied respectfully: "Master Zhengjun, I will pack some things down below to free up the sundries."

Gu Ze listened and didn't say anything more.

After waiting, Gu Ze looked at the basement, except for the pile of sundries he had seen before, there was nothing else. Like Lin Xia said, she was tidying up, and there were still many things that hadn't been put away.

"Here, didn't Layton say that he was inspecting the parts yesterday? Why didn't you see it?" Gu Ze tried to make himself appear curious, and asked Lin Xia.

Lin Xia thought about it for a while, and started to talk nonsense: "It was already sent back to the factory after five o'clock in the morning, so Lord Zhengjun didn't see it."

Gu Ze nodded, with a calm expression, he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

The basement is just such a space, and it can be seen at a glance. There is nothing suspicious. Gu Ze looked around, lowered his eyes and said nothing, and walked outside.

Lin Xia followed Gu Ze and also walked out.

"Okay, don't follow me anymore, you can go about your own business." Gu Ze said after walking a few steps without looking back.

Lin Xia said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Zhengjun, your hand..."

Gu Ze glanced at his right hand, the wound was not serious, it was nothing at all, and said, "It's okay, I've already dealt with it."

After finishing speaking, Gu Ze didn't stay any longer.

After Gu Ze walked up, Lin Xia frowned, and adjusted the surveillance of the baron's mansion today.

It wasn't until she saw Gu Ze in the garden talking to the old housekeeper Frye for a while that she finally understood the reason for Gu Ze's abnormality.

Lin Xia immediately sent a message to Layton, [General, Zheng Jun may have heard something from the old housekeeper Frye, and has already gone to the basement to check it out. 】

[Also, Lord Zhengjun was injured, but Zhengjun has already dealt with it. 】

Layton on the other side: [What's going on? 】

Lin Xia: [It should be caused by the experiment. Mr. Zhengjun's experimental materials today are slightly paralyzing and corrosive. 】

After waiting for a while, Lin Xia received a message from the general.

[I'll go back later, take care of him first, don't let him get hurt again. 】

Lin Xia: [Understood. 】

----

When Gu Ze returned to the laboratory, he originally wanted to go back to the bedroom on the second floor, but he stopped when he reached the stairs. He didn't want to go up, so he had to come here.

Sitting on the stool, he picked up a plant of medicinal herbs casually, and stared at the medicinal herbs with blank eyes. The doubts in Gu Ze's heart were still not eliminated.

Everything is normal, nothing is wrong, the family is harmonious, Layton is outside trying to earn money to support the family, and their relationship is also very good.

Judging from all Layton's behaviors, Layton really treats him well and cares about him very much. Perhaps, as Baroness Baird said, it will be different after getting married.

However, if there was something wrong, Gu Ze felt upset, his brows were furrowed together, and he couldn't relax for a long time.

After Layton pushed open the door of the laboratory, he saw Gu Ze sitting there in a daze, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Layton asked softly.

Gu Ze suddenly heard Layton's voice, and looked up, it was really Layton.

Layton came over and half-kneeled on one knee in front of Gu Ze, picked up Gu Ze's injured right hand and looked at it, the juice splashed on the back of the hand, the place was already red, swollen and festered, luckily the wound was not serious.

"Why are you so careless?" Layton's tone did not mean to blame, but gently, as if comforting Gu Ze.

Gu Ze looked down at Layton, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Laidon's blue eyes were full of tenderness. He stared at Gu Ze and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Ze finally spoke and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it's been dealt with, and it will be fine in two days."

Lai Dun caressed Gu Ze's side face with his hand, and slowly rubbed his thumb lightly between Gu Ze's brows, trying to smooth out his frowning brows, so as not to have any troubles.

Gu Ze put his hand over Layton's, and obediently let him touch his cheek, his expression gradually relaxed, and he smiled at Layton.

Seeing that his expression was no longer sad, Layton breathed a sigh of relief, "What else is uncomfortable?"

Gu Ze looked at Layton, with a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "No, don't worry."

"Do you want to take a break?" Layton stood up, took the crumpled medicine in Gu Ze's hand, and put it into a special disposal box.

Gu Ze stared at Layton for a while, and Layton stood in front of him patiently, waiting for his answer, then nodded, stood up and followed Layton out.

Holding Gu Ze's hand, Layton took him to sit on the sofa in the lobby, saw that the fruits in the fruit plate were stale all morning, and ordered the servant to cut a new plate.

"Did you drink tea today?" Layton asked Gu Ze while holding Gu Ze's hand, unwilling to let go.

Gu Ze shook his head, "I haven't drunk yet."

"You sit down first, I'll bring it to you." Layton grabbed Gu Ze's hand, kissed him where he wasn't injured, and then got up and went to the kitchen.

Gu Ze leaned on the sofa, looking at Layton's back, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"General, where is the old housekeeper," Jiang Chen asked in a low voice as he walked in from the back door of the kitchen.

Layton said: "Wait a few days, find a reason and send him there."

Jiang Chen nodded, yes, the old housekeeper is old, it's hard to say what's going on here, and it's safe to send it there.

In order to prevent the other barons on this planet from noticing that something was wrong, it was also Rost's intention.

In order not to attract too much attention, after all, what needs to be done requires the most care, and it is best not to attract attention, so he did not replace this old butler who was loyal to the Baron's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the old housekeeper's place, but it's true, no one can hide it from the person who has been in the baron's mansion, no matter how clever the disguise is, it is not the original person.

Seeing the general leaving the kitchen with a cup of tea, Jiang Chen watched from behind, and sighed, they all knew what the general thought about Zhengjun, but if Zhengjun really knew about this matter, would it be okay to think about it? where to go.

General, let's ask for more blessings, Jiang Chen sighed, touched a piece of fruit and gnawed on it.

The maid cutting fruit at the side knew him well, and they were all subordinates of the general. Seeing that Jiang Chen would go to the kitchen to find something to eat all day long, he rolled his eyes at him and went out with a fruit plate.

"Don't do experiments for the next two days," Layton said as he handed the teacup to Gu Ze.

Gu Ze took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit, and it's just an accident. I'll be more careful later, and I won't make such a mistake again."

Seeing Gu Ze's insistence, Layton couldn't stop him anymore, and said, "Then let Lin Xia or Jiang Chen help you."

Gu Ze shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself. I do it myself to get familiar with the extraction of medicinal materials. If they help me do it, it won't have the effect of practicing hands."

Layton had no choice but to compromise and let Gu Ze come by himself, telling him to be careful.

Gu Ze smiled slightly and said he knew.

Layton rubbed Gu Ze's head, and the maid also put a fruit plate on the table, all of which were Gu Ze's favorite fruits.

Bringing the fruit plate over, Gu Ze had to stretch out his hands to reach it. Layton held the fruit plate by himself and asked Gu Ze to eat the fruit with a silver fork.

Just like the usual way of getting along, Gu Ze picked up the fork without knowing it, and fed Layton while eating by himself.

After eating the whole plate of fruit, Gu Ze rubbed his stuffed stomach, thinking, habits are terrible.

As long as I get along with Layton for a while, I subconsciously want to get close to him, and some small actions when the two of them are together, I will do it unconsciously, such as sitting next to Layton, being kissed by him from time to time, and I will return. relative.

Gu Ze knew that this was a sign that he relied too much on Layton. Layton treated him very well, better than anyone else. He was a greedy person, so he couldn't help but want to rely on him.

Sighing in my heart, it would be fine if Layton wasn't so good.

"Did it last?" Layton put down the fruit plate and saw that Gu Ze stretched out his hand to touch his belly, with a somewhat annoyed expression, he also stretched out his hand to touch it. It was bulging, and it was indeed full.

Gu Ze let out a soft "hmm", and let Layton pick him up and put him on his lap.

Resting his head on Layton's shoulder, Gu Ze was too lazy to move. Layton hugged Gu Ze, quietly feeling the breath of the person in his arms, without saying a word.
