Chapter 162 Ye Ningshuang commits herself to Gu Xuetao

"Brother Zhan, please don't abandon me. That was done by my father and has nothing to do with me. I have been waiting for you for sixteen years. The world can bear witness to my feelings for you. Please accept me." Ye Ningshuang cried beside him.

Everyone was stunned. How shameless was Ye Ningshuang? Her own father kidnapped someone and tricked her into a marriage proposal. Even after the truth was revealed, she still had the nerve to ask General Zhan to accept her.

"Bah, this woman is too shameless. I saw her approaching a man's room in the inn yesterday. Which decent girl would approach a man outside her family?"

"Yeah, she's really good at pretending."

Ye Ningshuang had no choice but to leave in shame. She quickly dealt with Master Gu before the news of her father's arrest spread.

Gu Xuetao had spent the night at the Xiangxiang Hotel yesterday and was still sleeping soundly in the hotel. He was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door. The waiter was not there, so he had to drag his tired body to open the door, but he didn't expect that the big face was outside the door again.

Gu Xuetao said unhappily, "Miss Ye, why are you here again? If you have anything to say, just send a servant over to tell us."

Ye Ningshuang didn't seem to notice Gu Xuetao's impatience, and said, "Brother Gu, my father asked me to bring you something." Then she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and when Gu Xuetao was not paying attention, she threw the handkerchief at Gu Xuetao's nose, and Gu Xuetao fainted without any preparation. Ye Ningshuang took great pains to move Gu Xuetao to the bed, and took advantage of him to have sex with him while he was unconscious.

When Gu Xuetao's servant heard everyone's discussion about the Ye family and rushed back, the two had already done it. The servant quickly woke Gu Xuetao up, and when Gu Xuetao woke up and saw the pancake-faced man sleeping beside him, he knew what had happened even if he was slow-witted, and he immediately vomited with rage.

The servant Jiang Yan told Gu Xuetao everything that happened at his home. Gu Xuetao felt sick as if he had swallowed a fly. The father and daughter of the Ye family were not good enough to do anything, but they were more likely to cause trouble than to do anything. They even implicated him and ruined his innocence. He stared at the big face that was sleeping like a pig with gloomy eyes, and he wanted to throw her into the Dacao River to vent his anger. But he couldn't do that now. His father had just been reinstated and it was time for him to keep a low profile. He couldn't cause trouble for him.

Gu Xuetao ordered the servant to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing quickly, and not to wake up the fat-faced man. He then spent money to book a new room and asked the waiter to bring hot water. He washed himself from head to toe, inside and out, and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he feel like he was alive again.

Gu Xuetao and the servant checked out of the hotel and were about to get on the carriage when they saw Ye Ningshuang chasing them out.

"Brother Gu, please wait for me. I am yours now, you can't abandon me." Ye Ningshuang cried loudly, attracting the guests who came to eat to stop and watch.

Gu Xuetao's mind was blank at the moment. Why did this pancake face come again? What should I do?

Unexpectedly, Ye Ningshuang came up and hugged Gu Xuetao, "Brother Gu, I have given you my innocence. You must take me with you wherever you go."

Everyone held their foreheads in their hands. How come this Miss Ye asked General Zhan to marry her in the morning, but gave her innocence to another man in the afternoon? Wow, she is really open-minded.

Although Master Gu had many concubines and had been to many brothels, his cheeks turned red when he was hugged like this in public. He tried to break free, but the big-faced man was so strong that he couldn't break free after trying several times.

"Let go, I asked you to let go." Gu Xuetao was furious. When had he ever said he felt so wronged?

Only then did Ye Ningshuang let him go and just looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Gu Xuetao got on the carriage angrily, and Ye Ningshuang followed him up. It was unknown what the two of them said inside, and Gu Xuetao did not drive Ye Ningshuang off the carriage in the end.

The servant drove the carriage quickly to the capital. Poor Ye Mingyuan was still in prison waiting for Master Gu to rescue him.

Zhan Xiao was in a particularly good mood today. After solving the Ye family's problem, he went to the Shen family to show his courtesy.

He even learned to help his uncle chop wood like a country boy, and when Shen cooked, he sat in front of the stove to help light the fire, and even when his uncle's wife sewed clothes, he sat beside her to help thread the needle. Everyone was very happy.

After several days of unremitting efforts by Zhan Xiao, the Shen family finally agreed to Zhan Xiao's proposal and decided to let them get engaged temporarily and hold the formal wedding after Shen Zhi reached the age of 12.

Even though Zhan Xiao was the only one left in the Zhan family, the engagement could not be sloppy. The general's mansion in the capital had received the news long ago, and the housekeeper brought many servants and drove more than a dozen carriages from the capital to Shitou Village with the engagement gifts. Zhan Xiao's uncle and his family also came with them, as the man's elders came to propose marriage. In addition to the necessary meeting gifts, they also brought Zhang, the most famous matchmaker in the capital.

Zhan Xiao's uncle He Jin was also a military general. His family had been stationed in the frontier for many years and had made great military achievements. He was named the Great General of Protecting the Nation by the emperor. Later, he returned to Beijing to live permanently because of an injury that made his legs and feet inconvenient. His aunt Liang was a close friend of Zhan Xiao's mother. After she married He Jin and became sister-in-law, their relationship became even closer.

The Shen family warmly welcomed He Jin's family. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation and finally exchanged engagement letters, and the marriage was considered a done deal.

After Zhan Xiao got engaged, he returned to Haizhou with peace of mind. There are still many Japanese pirates in Haizhou, so he cannot be careless.

He Jin was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. He was bored at home now. He was in a hurry when he came here, so his injured leg had a relapse. He had to stay here for a while. Liang had no objection. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was nice. People living here felt much better. In addition, his daughter He Qing was about the same age as Shen Zhi. They hit it off right away and had endless things to talk about. His daughter also stayed here and refused to leave.

It happened that there was nothing to do in Baiyun Villa these days, so Shen Zhi stayed in Shitou Village to accompany He Jin's family.

Zhan Xiao had mentioned He Jin's old leg injury to her, and Shen Zhi planned to help him treat his leg in the next few days. However, He Jin thought that this injury was an old one and it was unlikely to be cured. The child just comforted him that it could be cured and gave it a try. Unexpectedly, after a period of treatment, there was a faint heat in his leg, and it didn't hurt when he walked, and he could move freely.

Liang was so happy that she cried. Her husband's legs hurt so much every time the weather changed. He had seen many imperial doctors in the capital but none of them worked. Unexpectedly, this nephew's wife got better with a few injections and plasters. Xiao'er found a good wife. During this period of time, he liked her more and more. She was not as pretentious as the ladies in the boudoir in the capital, but generous, free and easy, confident and kind.
