After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 297 Eavesdropping (2)

"Mrs. Gu, what do you think?" the man asked ambiguously.

Zhao Xier twitched the corners of her mouth and tried to hide her panic with a fake smile.

"What do you say? Did you believe what I said? I said I was here to look for my relatives, but you didn't believe me. I said I was friends with him since childhood, but you didn't believe me either. So what do you want to hear? You might as well give me a reference, and I'll say it accordingly."

Zhao Xier calmed down as she spoke. She met the man's sharp gaze, as if she was playing a game with him and refused to dodge.

That's right, as long as she doesn't panic or reveal any flaws, the other party will be unable to do anything to her.

Zhao Xier thought so.

But she forgot that the man in front of her was obviously well prepared, so how could he be easily sent away by her?

"Since Mrs. Gu has said so, it would be unreasonable for me not to give you a reference." The man remained calm.

Seeing this, Zhao Xier suddenly felt unsure again.

She couldn't figure out what the other party was up to, so she pursed her lips and said nothing, with a cold look in her eyes, as if she was indestructible.

But when the man spoke again, the mask she had put on collapsed.

"Madam Gu, you should be familiar with Xu Lingyi, the daughter of Lord Xu from the Xu family in the capital, right?" the man asked.

When Zhao Xier heard him mention her, her back stiffened and her heart was filled with turmoil.

Then he clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and said with regret: "Of course, Miss Xu is a famous talented woman in Beijing. I have met her several times at flower viewing banquets and poetry writing gatherings. She is a very good girl, but it's a pity that she has a tragic fate."

"It's a pity indeed. He was killed at such a young age. I heard his death was extremely tragic, with not a single healthy part on his body."

The man spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Zhao Xier. Zhao Xier could hardly hold it anymore and felt like a thorn in her back. Her mind was filled with questions like, did this man know something?

No, she had to find a way to change the subject quickly.

So Zhao Xier tried to calm down and said, "Miss Xu's experience is heartbreaking. Fortunately, the murderer has been brought to justice, which can be regarded as a tribute to her soul in heaven."

"The murderer has been brought to justice? Haha..." The man laughed out loud, as if he had heard a huge joke.

Zhao Xier's face changed instantly, and the uneasiness in her heart grew.

"Madam Gu, I have said so much, why do you have to pretend to be ignorant? There is a saying that goes, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Madam Gu should know what she has done better than I do."

The man's bluntness caught Zhao Xier off guard. Because she had something to hide, she spoke in a high and urgent tone: "What do I know? Sir, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. Everything must be based on evidence!"

"Oh? Evidence? How does Mrs. Gu know that I don't have evidence?" The man glanced at her and said lightly.

"..." Zhao Xier's face turned green when she heard that.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man continued, "I never do anything that I'm not sure of. Lord Xu is not that easy to fool. And Miss Xu's aunt, Concubine Hui, what do you think would happen if they knew that Miss Xu was killed by you?"

What will happen? They will die miserably.

Concubine Hui, the mother of the Third Prince, was a sinister and vicious old woman. In her previous life, she and Xu Lingyi had conspired to frame her and torture her...

Gollum—

Zhao Xier swallowed hard, and her hands on her legs clenched tighter.

As if dominated by fear, her breathing became heavy and her chest heaved violently.

Zhao Xier raised her head and looked at the indifferent yet unfathomable man for a long while before asking with difficulty, "How did you know? Are you one of them?"

"No." The man ignored the first question again and said meaningfully, "But Madam Gu, I know more than that... For example, your meeting with your husband."

When Zhao Xier heard this, her pupils suddenly dilated and her hair stood on end. She felt that the man in front of her was so terrifying.

The man seemed to appreciate her reaction, and a low-brow arc appeared on his lips.

"Tell me, what would happen if Master Gu knew that the life-saving grace was staged and deliberately arranged by Madam Gu? Would he still treat you like this? Not to mention, you killed..."

"Oh!"

"enough!"

Zhao Xier stood up suddenly and slapped the table, interrupting the man.

She leaned on the table, lowered her head and stared at the man with red eyes, like a caged beast that was cornered.

Gnashing teeth: "What do you want!"

The man was right. Whether it was the death of that bitch Xu Lingyi or Gu Lang's injury and amnesia, they were all planned by her!

Zhao Xier was powerless to refute.

All the harsh words and bluffing were reduced to ashes and could not withstand a single blow in the man's straightforward narration.

She thought she had done everything perfectly and could hide the truth from the world, and she was even complacent about it. However, she never expected that all of this was seen by others, and she herself was just like a clown!

Zhao Xier had trouble breathing.

Zhao Xier was not the only one who was shocked by these things. Xia Mo, who was hiding in the space eating melons, almost dropped his jaw in shock.

He never thought that it was this woman's plan that got that scumbag Gu Wenlang and this woman together.

"Tsk! Such dirty tricks. Fortunately, the Zhang Siyuan incident turned out to be a big mistake, otherwise Sister Yingying would really be no match for her." Xia Mo said, holding his chin.
