Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 492: Disaster lingers for years

General Gu was confused.

The man kneeling on the ground trembled and asked again, "Gu... General Gu, have you heard something?"

General Gu frowned and said nothing.

The man became even more frightened and kowtowed while saying, "General Gu, I shouldn't have talked about you behind your back, ah!"

Several people stood on both sides of her with swords in hand, including Xia Zhi.

"How dare you! How dare you disrespect our General Gu and even talk about him in private!"

"I...I was really wrong. I won't dare to do it again."

"Forget it, come back."

At General Gu's command, several men armed with swords returned to her side.

The woman looked up at General Gu with lingering fear, and seeing her dark expression, she felt even more uneasy.

This shouldn't be the case. She had privately told several ministers before that General Gu was unkind. Why did she have to come to his door today?

Her pupils shrank. Could it be that the man had informed General Gu?

General Gu stood there like a giant Buddha, and the woman knelt under her shadow, not daring to raise her head.

"Today I come..."

General Gu had just said four words when the woman started shaking with fear.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s really over now. General Gu must be here to settle the score with me!

"I came here to ask you if you have anything to do with the disappearance of the two children from the Gu family."

After hearing General Gu's words, the woman raised her head cautiously.

what?

So he wasn't here to settle accounts with her.

General Gu became a little impatient when she didn't hear the woman's answer. She slowly squatted down and looked at the woman.

"Say!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. What child? Is it the Gu family's child? I have never seen him."

General Gu slowly stood up, but did not believe her words.

She led her men to search the woman's house, then waved her hand and said, "Retreat!"

The woman was still kneeling on the ground. She waited until everyone left before letting the servants help her up.

"Master Zhang, are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?"

Mr. Zhang stood up tremblingly.

The servant reminded him, "Master Zhang, your legs are still shaking."

Master Zhang said, "You are mistaken."

The servant lowered his head and stared at her legs, and said with certainty: "I am not mistaken, Master Zhang, your legs are shaking."

Master Zhang slapped the servant on the head.

"I told you you were mistaken, so why don't you help me back to the house?"

After returning to the house, Lord Zhang suddenly remembered that what General Gu had just asked him was about the disappearance of the two children of the Gu family.

"Go and find out what's going on with the Gu family."

Before leaving, the servant looked at Master Zhang's legs again.

Obviously, Mr. Zhang's legs are still shaking!

......

In the basement.

The basement was already quite damp, and Xixi and Xiaonian didn't feel anything unusual after being thrown in. But now, the coldness in the basement gave them goosebumps.

So cold.

This is the only feeling the two people have now.

Xiao Nian and Xixi huddled together tightly. Her eyes were dark and her body was stiff from the cold.

Although it was hot outside, the basement was like an ice cellar.

Xixi was better than her. She moved her body and let Xiaonian lean on her.

She always felt that time passed quickly before, but now the two of them were locked in the basement and could only watch time pass by without knowing what time it was.

After delivering food to them last time, those people stopped trying to block their mouths.

Maybe they thought that no one else would hear them even if they shouted in this place.

Xiao Nian's weak voice sounded in Xixi's ears.

"Sister, do you think we will die?"

"Nonsense, we will definitely live a hundred years."

"But, I felt like I saw my dad..."

She tried to open her eyes wide and seemed to see a man squatting beside them, gently touching her head and calling her "Xiao Nian".

"Oh, you're confused. Just relax, we're going to be fine."

Xixi has a relatively calm mentality.

She comforted Xiao Nian: "What's that saying? Evil will last for a thousand years. I don't think I'm a good person either, so you will definitely live a long life if you follow me."

Xiao Nian was amused by her words.

"No, hello, sister."

Since she was a child, she has envied and admired her sister.

And every time her sister came back from the academy, she would bring her some delicious food, although most of it ended up in her sister's stomach.

The two sisters leaned against each other and snuggled up to keep warm.

Hearing Xiao Nian say that she was good, Xixi was like a peacock with its tail cocked, and asked her: "Really? Then tell me what else is good about me?"

She really wanted to hear her sister praise her.

Xiao Nian was feeling a little dizzy and wanted to sleep, but when he heard Xixi asking him this, he tilted his head and thought about it.

She said: "My sister is very brave and she is not afraid of being scolded."

When I was at home, I was afraid that I would do something wrong and make my parents unhappy.

But my sister is not like that. She always looks fearless.

Xixi looked to the other side awkwardly and said, "This doesn't count."

She was used to being scolded, and sometimes her handsome-looking father would pick up a weapon and beat her.

Xiao Nian thought for a moment and said happily, "Sister didn't give up on me. She took me with her."

When she sprained her ankle, it was her sister who carried her on her back and ran away, although in the end the two of them were caught and brought back.

But she will always remember her sister's determination to never give up on her.

Xixi's ears blushed and she said, "I'm just afraid that my parents will blame me for abandoning you!"

Xiao Nian shook her head and said, "Sister, you know, you and Dad are actually very similar."

"Oh, really? Can you tell me how they look alike?"

"It's all the same duplicity."

My sister obviously cared about me and took me with her, but she said she was afraid of being blamed by my parents.

And she found that her father was the same.

I obviously miss my mother and care about her very much, but I pretend not to care.

"Okay, Xiao Nian, so this is how you think of me."

The atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the two people were no longer as scared as when they first came in.

No one is not afraid of death, they are afraid too.

But they found that after being brought in, those people did not kill them.

This at least proves that they are currently safe and do not have to worry about their lives.

Xiao Nian's voice suddenly lowered. She said, "Actually, this father is very good, but I still want to see my father."

Uncle Wen was unconditionally kind to her and would never blame herself.

But he had high expectations for his sister and would scold her if she did something wrong.

He always encourages himself and never speaks harshly to himself.

"Didn't we go see it with you before?"
