My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 87 Long Mouth Needs to Communicate

He always remembered that Wei Dongning wanted to push him to someone else.

It's like an insurmountable obstacle in his heart.

The more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt.

He gave her a deep look before turning his head away.

Wei Dongning was even more confused now.

what's the situation?

She seemed to see sorrow in his eyes?

She must not be mistaken, right?

Wei Dongning turned to look at Xiao Wu, hoping to get an answer from it.

Xiao Wu could only give her a helpless look: "Men's hearts are like needles at the bottom of the sea."

"If anyone can write a book called 'Understanding the Twisted Mind of Men,' I will be the first to buy it and read it."

No math problem is more difficult to solve than his thought process.

"Gu Peiyan, what are you angry about? Is it because I didn't stay with you while you were soaking in cold water?" Wei Dongning poked Gu Peiyan, who had her back to her, with her finger.

Gu Peiyan's voice was hoarse and somewhat muffled: "No."

"My patience is limited, and I don't want to argue with you every other day."

Regardless of what others think, she is genuinely prepared to live a good life.

Gu Peiyan turned around upon hearing this: "Are you planning to push me onto someone else? Is there something I haven't done well enough?"

Hearing his almost coquettish tone, Wei Dongning's heart softened.

She started trying to recall when she had given him that impression.

Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore: "He's just sick, why is he being so delicate? You green tea b*tch."

"Really? I didn't see it."

"Tsk, as expected, as long as you're the one being targeted by a green tea b*tch, you can't tell the difference. Who says green tea is bad? It's actually quite good."

Wei Dongning licked her lips and then reviewed the situation.

Gu Peiyan waited a long time for her answer, and the light in her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer: "If you can't remember, then forget it. I don't necessarily want to make a fuss about it."

Wei Dongning racked her brains before remembering what she had said: "He won't be back for a while if I help him find someone."

I couldn't help but chuckle: "You didn't think I was going to find you a girl, did you?"

Seeing his evasive gaze, Wei Dongning knew she had guessed correctly: "What I meant was to find you a doctor. You're quite good at making things up."

She is, after all, a modern person.

She's open to both car sharing and shared power banks.

Let's forget about sharing men.

At least during the duration of her marriage, she could not accept sharing a husband with someone else.

Gu Peiyan's high fever had just subsided, so her reactions were still a bit slow.

He vaguely remembered that someone had explained to him why he hadn't listened at the time.

He seems to have forgotten.

“Gu Peiyan, a mouth is for communication. If you don’t speak, I’ll never know what you’re struggling with. Similarly, if you make me angry and I don’t say anything, won’t you also feel a little lost?”

"Hmm." Gu Peiyan's Adam's apple bobbed as she responded softly, "It was my fault, I misunderstood you."

"I made a mistake this time too. I should have just told you that I was going to get a doctor. You should get some rest."

Wei Dongning turned to leave, but Gu Peiyan reached out and grabbed her arm, saying, "Don't go."

Sick people are always particularly vulnerable.

Now all he wants is for Wei Dongning to stay and stay by his side.

It's as if doing this will help me recover faster.

Xiao Wu meowed and jumped into Xiao Fu's arms: "Oh my god, I can't stand it anymore, it's too mushy! How come getting sick has ruined your image so much? Is this still the usually serious and stern Master Gu? Why are you acting like a whiny little monster? I'm going to block you two."

Wei Dongning had no choice but to instruct Xiao Fu: "Xiao Wu is yours for the next two days."

"Really, Miss?" Xiao Fu was overjoyed.

She hadn't held her sweet and soft little Wu while sleeping for a long time.

I'm really thinking about it a lot.

"Really, really. Let it stay with you for a few days, so that Gu Peiyan won't catch a cold from it."

There weren't many veterinarians in that era, and she wasn't sure if Xiao Wu would get sick like other kittens.

It's best to be cautious.

Su Yizhuo investigated the matter thoroughly in just two days.

He had a breakthrough that Wei Dongning helped him find, and he also had the manpower that the Crown Prince assigned to him.

It would be incredibly easy for him to investigate a corrupt official.

So when he sent someone to deliver the findings to the Gu residence, Wei Dongning was not surprised at all.

I glanced through it and it was similar to the one Xiao Wu had given her.

He then placed the documents in Gu Peiyan's hands: "Take a look, you'll need them for the morning court the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Gu Peiyan slowly flipped through the pages, her brows furrowing more and more as she read on.

Wei Dongning was still somewhat troubled by the graininess in his voice.

He hasn't had a fever or runny nose for the past two days, but he still speaks with a "Baojuan-like" voice.

She fed him a lot of pear syrup, but it didn't help.

She was so worried that a big bump appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Song visited Gu Peiyan several times, saying that he had been too reckless that day, insisting that he could handle it, which resulted in him being sick for so many days.

Gu Peiyan, who had been scolded, glanced at Wei Dongning with a wronged expression.

Wei Dongning immediately fell for him again.

Although he acted somewhat recklessly, he did uphold male virtues.

That deserves praise.

Gu Peiyan quickly skimmed through the documents in her hand, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment.

The hand holding the pen was gripping it harder than usual.

He meticulously wrote down Zhao Anmin's incriminating evidence on the memorial.

He was an Imperial Censor, and impeaching officials was his duty.

As Wei Dongning ground the ink, she casually asked, "What will happen to Zhao Anmin?"

“Accepting bribes, bending the law for personal gain, running gambling dens, increasing taxes… at the very least, he would be hanged and his relatives exiled three thousand miles away. Even if there were a general amnesty, he would never be allowed to enter the capital again. All of his family’s property would be confiscated by the national treasury.” Gu Peiyan explained to her as he wrote.

Wei Dongning said "Oh," and then added, "Serves him right. Evil people will get their comeuppance. He's not worthy of the name his parents gave him."

Anmin, what a meaningful name.

Now it sounds more like irony.

He not only failed to calm the people's hearts, but he also brought much of their suffering upon them.

"They drugged you a few days ago, probably as a desperate gamble. But you didn't do what they planned. Do you think they might resort to desperate measures and bite you before you impeach Zhao Anmin?"

Gu Peiyan shook her head: "Probably not. He's probably busy marrying Zhao Xinyi off right now. Zhao Xinyi is the only child left by his first wife. Even if he dies, he won't let Zhao Xinyi suffer the pain of exile. Cough cough cough."

Wei Dongning quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath.

When he stopped, she placed the pear juice she had prepared earlier in his hand: "You'd better not talk anymore. Your throat hasn't gotten better after all these days. It's really worrying."

Gu Peiyan shut her mouth, feeling wronged.

He talked more in order to answer her question, but it only made her dislike him.

Wei Dongning knew she had too many problems, but she really couldn't help it.

She had a lot more questions to ask, but for now she had to keep them to herself.

After a moment of silence in the study, Wei Dongning spoke again: "In such a short time, I doubt they'll find anyone to marry Zhao Xinyi, right? If they really exile her, won't she run away?"
