Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 111 Beware of Fraud

Although she had no appetite at all, her stomach was empty. If she didn't fill it with food, she and the child would not be able to bear it.

When thinking of the child, a trace of worry rose in Shen Nankui's eyes.

Yichuan still doesn't know she's pregnant...

After a moment, she shook her head.

Forget it. The current situation is not optimistic. Let’s not talk about it now. We don’t want to add pressure to Yichuan. The most important thing is to overcome the difficulties first.

Gu Yichuan noticed that she looked strange, and called out softly, "Nan Kui?"

Shen Nankui smiled slightly, raised his hand and served him some dishes, "Let's eat first."

Even though Chef Mu Yinglou's cooking skills were the best in the capital, neither of them had the heart to savor the food carefully. They only took a few bites and then put down their chopsticks.

Gu Yichuan went to write a letter, and Shen Nankui was not idle either. She picked up the pen and hesitated for a moment before putting pen to paper.

After writing the letter, they looked at each other.

Gu Yichuan said: "Nan Kui, go find the dog hole, I will go meet those two people."

Today, the people left by Princess Yongjia to guard the yard were the Ge brothers. Shen Nankui knew that they were afraid that they would suffer losses.

But she shook her head and said, "No, you go find a way out and I will divert their attention."

Before Gu Yichuan opened his mouth to stop her, she said, "Yichuan, listen to me. Ge Da and Ge Er held me hostage all the way to the outskirts of Beijing. They must be curious about how I escaped from their hands. I can delay them for a longer time."

Gu Yichuan knew her abilities, so he didn't bother her any more and called Zhong Shan in instead.

When Zhong Shan heard that they wanted him to go out and deliver a letter, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed solemnly.

"I was homeless on the street, and it was Madam who brought me back. Madam is kind, and Master is generous. I have never met masters as kind as you two. It is a blessing from my previous life that Zhongshan can work with you two masters. Now that the masters are in trouble, it is time for Zhongshan to repay the favor. Madam, Master, just give me your orders!"

Shen Nankui couldn't help but smile when he saw his serious expression as if he didn't care about life and death.

"Don't be afraid, Zhongshan. Ge Da and Ge Er are keeping an eye on me and Yichuan. They won't deliberately pay attention to your whereabouts. You just need to come back before dawn, and you will be safe."

After that, she waved her hand and said, "Come closer and listen."

She whispered a few words to Zhong Shan. Although Gu Yichuan was a little surprised, he knew that his wife always acted with moderation, so he did not ask any more questions.

Everything was arranged, and after a few people exchanged glances, Shen Nankui was the first to leave the house.

She walked leisurely into the courtyard. When she was about to reach the door, the figures of the Ge brothers suddenly appeared on the wall. Ge Da asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere," Shen Nankui looked up at the sky, "The moonlight is beautiful today, I came out to enjoy it."

Ge Er jumped down from the wall and stood in front of her, "You are such a cunning little girl, don't play tricks on us!"

Shen Nankui took two steps back and sat down on the stone bench in the yard.

"With two heroes here, how dare I play any tricks?"

Perhaps the sarcasm in her words was too strong, Ge Er drew his sword angrily, pointed the blade at her and said: "Tell me! How did you escape last time?"

Shen Nankui was not afraid at all, "If I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"

"you!"

Ge Er gritted his teeth in anger, "What a cunning woman! We treated you with great respect along the way, but you sneaked away at night. If I had known this would happen, I should have made you suffer a little!"

"With great respect?"

Shen Nankui laughed angrily, "What Hero Ge said almost made me think that I was your guest, but the marks on my hands reminded me that this is not the case!"

Ge Er choked, a hint of anger rising in his eyes, "You are so sharp-tongued! Answer my question quickly."

Shen Nankui remained silent, looking as if he had nothing to say.

"Brother, look at her!"

If she wasn't a woman, he really wanted to beat her up to vent his anger.

Ge Da shook his head. "This girl is smart. We have already fallen into her hands once. Don't provoke her again. It is important to do your duty. This time, we must not let her escape from us again."

Ge Er's heart trembled, and he replied, "Yes, big brother."

Shen Nankui laughed out loud, "If I can escape once, I can escape a second time. Don't you want to know why I escaped last time? Then I'll tell you, it was because... you two were sleeping like pigs, so I was able to take the opportunity to escape."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"With your appearance, if you were guarding the house, I'm afraid the thieves would take the money and run away, and you might not be able to find them. You have even learned to be kidnappers. Does Princess Yongjia have no one under her command? Why is she willing to use you?"

"You! How dare you, a mere woman, insult us Ge brothers?"

Ge Er was so angry that he was fuming and was about to step forward with a knife in hand.

Shen Nankui escaped last night, and the two couldn't find the reason, so they could only attribute it to him sleeping too deeply.

But the two brothers have practiced martial arts for many years and are very alert. Even if they fall asleep, they will wake up immediately at the slightest movement. What's more, Ge Er was guarding the car door himself, so how could he not notice when Shen Nankui left?

Come to think of it, this woman is really weird.

Ge Er already felt ashamed of being defeated by a woman, and now being mocked so mercilessly by Shen Nankui, he could not help but be filled with rage and wished to cut her into pieces.

Ge Da stopped him, "Calm down, be careful of fraud!"

"She's a woman, I don't believe she can do anything!"

"Don't be nosy. Don't you think about it? Why did she provoke you for no reason? Is she afraid of dying? If we brothers fail again, have you thought about how to report to the princess?"

After hearing this, Ge Er calmed down.

They knew the princess' temper. If she messed up the job again, they would...

Ge Er felt a chill on his neck. He glared at Shen Nankui fiercely, then sat down on the steps at the gate with his horse and sword in his hands. "I want to see if you can still escape today!"

The two brothers were guarding the door, staring at Shen Nankui with great attention.

Shen Nankui ignored them and sat quietly looking up at the sky, as if he was really admiring the moon.

Ge Er looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and there were not even a few stars. How could there be any moonlight to appreciate?

He couldn't help but believe what his elder brother said. This woman was indeed weird.

After an unknown amount of time, the door to the main room suddenly opened. Gu Yichuan stood at the door and said with a smile, "My lady, after you have finished admiring the moonlight, can you please go to bed?"

"I'll come right away."

Shen Nankui said this and went into the house.

After closing the door, she first looked at Gu Yichuan, who nodded at her.

Shen Nankui breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Where is the dog hole?"

As soon as she finished asking the question, she smelled a strange smell and couldn't help but cover her nose. Then she asked in surprise: "Could it be..."

Gu Yichuan nodded, "Yes, it is behind the toilet. The place is hidden and smells bad, so it is very difficult to find."

Shen Nankui suddenly realized.

No wonder the flowers and plants in the garden connected to the dog hole in her private residence in her previous life always grew more luxuriantly than those in other places. It turned out that it was because there was a toilet next door. It was no wonder that she didn't find the dog hole in the yard later.

After all, which nice person would hang out behind a toilet for no reason?
