Chapter 288 Hero saves beauty
Gu Dashu was beaten by Tong Huaqiong until he begged for mercy.
"Mom, mom, you hit me before you even understand the situation."
Tong Huaqiong stopped, sat on the chair and panted, pointing at Gu Dashu and cursing: "You made your wife so angry, and you still say you don't understand the situation. If you didn't do anything weird, your wife wouldn't have made such a fuss."
After Tong Huaqiong finished speaking, he punched Gu Dashu a few more times.
Tong Huaqiong was furious just now, and when she came in and saw Gu Dashu looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, she wanted to hit him.
Gu Dashu's first reaction after being beaten by Tong Huaqiong was "I've made my mother worry."
Thinking about how his mother had been busy all day and had to mediate the quarrel between the couple, Gu Dashu felt that he was unfilial.
Gu Dashu said to Liu Yue'e, "I told you that I didn't do that, but you didn't believe me. You made a scene and called my mother here in the middle of the night, disturbing her rest."
Tong Huaqiong picked up a pair of shoes from the ground and threw them at Gu Dashu, cursing, "How dare you blame your wife? If it wasn't for the bad things you did, would she cry and make a fuss?"
Liu Yue'e threw herself into Tong Huaqiong's arms and cried.
Her mother-in-law really protects her.
Her backer has arrived.
Gu Dashu looked wronged and said, "Mom, I didn't do anything bad. Yue'e is suspicious, but why don't you believe me?"
Gu Taohua said at the side: "What's the situation with Miss Xianxian from Tianxiang Tower that Second Sister-in-law mentioned just now?"
Tong Huaqiong also wants to know!
At today's celebration banquet, she, as the host, was so excited that she drank two extra glasses of wine. When she walked out of the restaurant, she did not notice the slim girl from Tianxianglou.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Tianxiang Tower was a landmark building in Pearl Lane.
A richly decorated carriage was parked at the door.
Because it was so cool, Tong Huaqiong discovered Tianxiang Tower from the first day she arrived.
Gu Dashu said, "To be honest, I have been to Tianxianglou once, but I went there to promote our birthday cakes. I thought that people in Yanguan Town's Baoyuelou girls' birthday banquets would order cakes from our shop to get their attention, not to mention the city. If we can get Tianxianglou's business, wouldn't we have a regular big customer?"
This is a perfect reason to go to Tianxianglou.
Tong Huaqiong stared at Gu Dashu with sharp eyes, and Gu Dashu's face showed an expression of being wronged and aggrieved.
It’s not that Tong Huaqiong is partial to Gu Dashu, but she feels that with Gu Dashu’s filial piety, he would definitely not deceive her.
But she was still worried and asked, "Are you serious?"
Gu Dashu saw that Tong Huaqiong had listened to him and said, "Really? Manager He also knows about this. To be honest, I didn't even notice whether the girls there were round or flat."
Tong Huaqiong asked, "You didn't have anything to do with the girl from Tianxianglou, so why did you look so calm when I came in just now?"
Gu Dashu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Mom, wasn't I forced to do this? Yue'e refused to believe me. No matter how I explained, she wouldn't listen. I was so angry that I just let her believe it or not."
Liu Yue'e sobbed and said, "Gu Dashu, you are not a playboy, why did that girl Xianxian pull your sleeve?"
Gu Dashu held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly, "I've told you so many times, but you just don't believe me and you've been brooding over this all night. Mother, Miss Xianxian is from a good family and was sold to Tianxiang Tower when she was young. I went to Tianxiang Tower that day and saw someone harassing her, so I said a few words for her. The man said that Xianxian took his ten taels of silver and refused to drink with him. I saw that Xianxian was crying pitifully, so I paid her back the ten taels of silver."
"I forgot about it. I never stepped into Tianxianglou for the second time, nor did I meet Xianxian. I don't know how I met her at the door of the restaurant tonight. She walked up to me, thanked me, and pulled my sleeve..."
It turned out to be a story of a hero saving a beauty.
But Tong Huaqiong was a little skeptical.
Even though she sympathized with the girl from Tianxianglou, how could it be such a coincidence that Gu Dashu encountered Xianxian and was entangled. Moreover, she didn't thank him earlier or later, but came to thank him on the night of Taohua Dessert's opening.
It’s not that Tong Huaqiong is protecting her own son.
But in her previous life, she had heard too many stories about schemes set up to trick the second generation of the rich and the poor into gambling, and ending up losing everything they had.
People like Gu Dashu, who grew up in Qinghewan, have never seen a gentle countryside. A country bumpkin like him, who has a little money in his hands, is the easiest to be tricked.
Gu Dashu was still explaining, and Tong Huaqiong's eyes were uncertain.
Liu Yue'e wiped her eyes and cursed, "What a hero saving a beautiful girl, Gu Dashu, I was reluctant to spend ten taels of silver to buy clothes, but you just casually threw ten taels of silver. You're lucky to be her daughter? You must have had an affair behind her, otherwise how do you know so much about her?"
Gu Dashu said, "I've told you everything. It was the mother in the store who told me. No matter how many times I've told you, you still don't believe me. So go ahead and make a scene."
Liu Yue'e cried out, "Why can't I make a scene? You went to save a prostitute for no reason, who would believe you? You are just quibbling, this is all a story you made up. Gu Dashu, are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of me running away with you?"
"Wow, wow, I won't live any longer. I'm not even as good as a prostitute, and you didn't even spend ten taels of silver to buy me something."
Gu Dashu was upset by Liu Yue'e's crying and said angrily, "Keep making trouble! Keep making trouble! I didn't do anything but I got the reputation of visiting brothels for nothing. Since you don't believe me, I'll visit for you to see."
Tong Huaqiong's face turned pale and he punched him.
"Gu Dashu, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you should go shopping in front of your wife? The door of Tianxiang Tower is open now, go and have a look. Do you believe that I can turn you into a eunuch like our pig? Anyway, our family has Yaozu, and we will never be without descendants."
Gu Dashu was stunned by Tong Huaqiong's hammer. Why didn't his wife and mother believe him?
Gu Dashu was about to cry, and said sadly: "Mom, why don't you even believe me?"
Tong Huaqiong stopped and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just mad at you, you idiot, mad at you for making your wife sad."
Gu Dashu didn't understand, so he explained it all!
Liu Yue'e didn't believe it. Could she blame him?
Tong Huaqiong was so angry that her heart ached.
Liu Yue'e and Gu Dashu had been separated for such a long time that she was worried that Gu Dashu might be up to something evil in the capital.
During the two days that Gu Dashu saw Liu Yue'e, he probably never understood his wife's thoughts, nor did he resolve the trust issue between the two of them.
Liu Yue'e was already suspicious, so how could she not be furious when she suddenly saw the girl pulling Gu Dashu's sleeve?
Even though Liu Yue'e was the most beautiful girl in Qinghe Bay, she certainly could not compare with the girl from Tianxiang Tower in terms of gentleness, thoughtfulness and dressing style.
Miss Xianxian hurt Liu Yue'e and aroused her suspicion. It would be abnormal for her not to make trouble with Gu Dashu.
Gu Dashu should comfort her, let her beat and scold him, let her vent first and then swear, instead of having an attitude of "what can I do if you don't listen to my explanation".
It was not Gu Dashu's heroic act of saving the beauty and spending ten taels of silver that made Liu Yue'e angry, but Gu Dashu's attitude that made Liu Yue'e sad.
