Zhou Xu was speechless and dared not continue.
This man is unpredictable and even physically assaulted people; he's even worse than the previous one.
No, she has to think of another way.
Otherwise, she was really afraid of being strangled to death.
The man seemed to be strangling her neck. Just when Zhou Xu thought she was going to die there, he suddenly let go and began to untie the ropes binding her.
However, he only untied the upper body; Zhou Xu's legs were still tightly bound.
Zhou Xu was able to move again, and instinctively tried to tear off the blindfold.
The man stopped her.
Zhou Xu Yanran, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Grandpa."
She casually tugged at her collar.
The man cursed and said, "Slap yourself!"
Zhou Xu: "..."
When you're under someone's roof, what can you do if you don't bow your head?
Judging from this pattern, she began to have a vague feeling that this was someone hired by her stepmother, Madam Lady Wang.
Lady Wang loved this kind of humiliating method the most.
Zhou Xu didn't dare to hold back, not daring to anger the man, and slapped herself four times.
Just as she was about to continue, the man stopped her.
Then she heard the rustling sound of the man's clothes.
Did her plan work?
Ignoring the pain on her face, she reminded the man, "Sir—"
"Shut up!"
"Sir," she had to say, "My leg..."
She's still tied up!
The man suddenly moved!
Zhou Xu clenched her teeth tightly, swallowing all the sounds.
--If she speaks up and angers the man, he will probably shut her up again.
That meant she lost some opportunities to call for help.
No, she can endure it.
So what if it's hardship? Hasn't she suffered enough in her life?
When she first started working for Old Cabbage Stalk, was he good to her?
not good.
What's offered to you is often overlooked.
But she held back her tears and smiled brightly.
Old Cabbage Stalk...
I wonder if he will look down on her after this incident.
If she doesn't like it, she'll have to find someone else.
Who should we look for?
Wu Zhenhai's arch-enemy, Zhang Qian, was older and uglier, and had also been exposed to the Prince of Jin.
No, this won't work.
She needs to sort things out with the others gradually.
But she knew that finding another man like Wu Zhenhai, whom she had trained so well, would be extremely difficult.
However, she had no way out; no matter how difficult it was, she had to grit her teeth and move forward!
"Tell me, whose woman are you?" The man's rough voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if his throat had been ruined by charcoal.
Whose woman?
She's not married yet!
Does this mean the man in front of me knows something?
Could it be that the enemy of one of the men she seduced has come knocking on her door?
He spent his days hunting geese, but instead of being pecked in the eyes by a goose, he was dragged down by it.
"Speak!" The man's hands weren't idle either; he pinched a small piece of flesh on her neck with two fingers, causing Zhou Xu to almost lose her composure from the pain.
You call yourself a man?
She actually used women's tricks to pinch people!
Moreover, they specifically bite and pinch in places where people can see them.
"I have many men, I don't know which one offended this old man..."
Man: "Wu Zhenhai!"
Zhou Xu cursed the Old Cabbage Stalk in her heart.
He did things himself but didn't clean up his mess, and as a result, he got himself into trouble.
What's more, outsiders have found out about her relationship with Wu Zhenhai, which makes her want to kill him to silence him.
"Sir," she said through gritted teeth, "It turns out he's the one who offended you. Please don't be angry, he's not a man."
"Um?"
"Really, the reason he says he likes men is because he's impotent. Really, he's just covering it up!" Zhou Xu said.
The man was enraged (omitted)
Zhou Xu took the opportunity to secretly pull a gold hairpin from her hair and clutch it in her hand.
Old Cabbage Stalk had taught her that there was a very thick blood vessel in her neck, and if it was scratched, the bleeding would be unstoppable, and she would die very quickly.
If she could take advantage of the man's good mood and remove the black blindfold, she might be able to seize the opportunity to act...
Cover your eyes?
Why did you cover her eyes?
Is it because she knows him, or are you afraid she'll identify him later?
If it's the latter, does that mean her life is safe? If it's the former, who could it be?
As she was lost in thought, the man on top of her suddenly reached out and flicked her in one spot.
The movements, the feeling...
"Wu Zhenhai!" Zhou Xu ripped off the black cloth strip and saw Old Cabbage Stalk's face.
She trembled with hatred, and without thinking, she picked up the hairpin and stabbed it into his chest!
Wu Zhenhai reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist and cursing in his original voice, "You've gone too far! I've gone through all this trouble for you, and you come here wanting to kill your husband? Do you want to be a widow?"
Zhou Xu: "You hit me!"
He even slapped her!
Zhou Xu was not immune to beatings; she was beaten in all sorts of ways.
But this time, it was Old Cabbage Stalk that made her unusually angry.
She didn't make things difficult for herself, and she didn't care why. Anyway, if she was unhappy, she had to bleed him dry!
"If I don't hit you, how can it look like this?" Wu Zhenhai cursed.
Honestly, I've wanted to beat up this arrogant little brat for a long time.
That slap felt so good!
But the pleasure is fleeting, followed by a long period of heartache.
I just can't bring myself to hit him, even knowing it's all fake.
However, watching her skillfully and without restraint hit herself, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed, aching so badly it almost spasmed.
One day, he will make Lady Wang and Zhou Fu pay the price!
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Xu quickly calmed down.
She has to take the slap, no matter whose it is.
There are no exceptions.
Unless she has the ability to get rid of it.
"You were kidnapped by bandits today," Wu Zhenhai said. "The bandits tried to harm you, but I rescued you."
Zhou Xu: "... And then?"
"Then I'll take responsibility for you, I'll marry you!"
With so many people watching, it's a done deal.
He helped the Zhou Family solve a major problem; the Zhou Family should be grateful!
Zhou Xu wanted to say, if she didn't want to get married, why didn't they discuss it with her beforehand?!
But reason told her that she should be grateful, or at least show it.
Wu Zhenhai doesn't need her consent to do anything; they are each other's tools.
Wu Zhenhai is now trying to make it look like she was forced into something...
That's a terrible idea.
But he was oblivious to his own stupidity, and said smugly, "I've thought of everything for you, aren't you touched?"
If you dared to make a move, I would have chopped you up already!
You're going to be the death of me!
You uncultured Old Cabbage Stalk! You stupid peasant!
Zhou Xu, after much restraint, finally couldn't hold back any longer. "If this completely ruins my reputation, aren't you afraid of dragging it down with you?"
"Your reputation is already ruined," Wu Zhenhai said.
Zhou Xu: "..."
"As for me, I can accept sacrificing some things, but the Governor will surely compensate me in some way."
