Chapter 123: Doing Some “Shy” Things
When Gu Yu returned to his residence, he saw that the table was already piled high with plates, and his little wife was still diligently eating. Her bottomless appetite truly shocked Gu Yu.
He wondered if Gu Mengyao’s stomach was connected to another dimension!
After all, she’d eaten so much, yet her stomach hadn’t gotten bigger…
When Gu Mengyao saw Gu Yu, she looked at the mountain of plates in front of her, her cheeks flushing slightly. She wondered if her little husband would be scared seeing her eat so much!
To prevent such a situation, she decided to stop eating.
Even though she was only seven-tenths full.
If Gu Yu knew Gu Mengyao was only seven-tenths full, his expression would likely be even more shocked.
After eating so much, she was only seven-tenths full…
“A’ Yu, what was that just now? Why did a guest faint in the latrine for no reason! When I heard about it, I guessed it had something to do with you, so don’t keep me in suspense, just tell me directly!”
“Oh? How did you know it was related to me?”
“It’s easy! At my important coming-of-age ceremony, you wouldn’t let dangerous people act recklessly. If someone fainted in the latrine, it’s possible a laxative was used… Among your medicinal powders, besides the sleeping powder, only the laxative is used more.”
“Tsk tsk, my foolish wife has become quite a bit smarter!”
“Get lost. I’m just not as smart as you. As for other people, they aren’t as smart as me!”
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s analysis, Gu Yu nodded in agreement. However, what came out of his mouth next made Gu Mengyao raise an eyebrow; she clearly didn’t agree with Gu Yu calling her a foolish wife.
She was clearly very smart!
It was just that A’ Yu was even smarter.
When Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s words, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards slightly. He then raised his hand intending to stroke Gu Mengyao’s head, but remembering the meticulously styled hair from her ceremony, his palm changed direction and instead gently flicked her little nose.
This made Gu Mengyao playfully glares at Gu Yu, which further improved Gu Yu’s mood as he admired how beautiful his wife was.
“Alright, alright, it’s nothing really. Those who fainted in the latrine were likely sent by the mysterious person, trying to create chaos during your coming-of-age ceremony and seize the opportunity to kill people.”
“Damn it! These people are too bold!”
“Do you remember that servant just now? He was also an assassin, but your husband, I, am very smart. After discovering the suspicious circumstances, I quickly took him down, thus averting disaster.”
“What! A’ Yu, are you alright!”
“I’m fine, how could those minor figures injure me? Don’t worry!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu say that the servant was also an assassin, Gu Mengyao’s face immediately showed surprise. Then, as she tried to stand up to check if Gu Yu was injured, Gu Yu quickly reached out and pressed her back into her seat, smiling and indicating that he was fine and she didn’t need to worry.
Those others, however, were in for a bad time.
The scent of the medicine in the sachets, without his specially prepared antidote, would not be easy to resolve.
It was like when someone else made a poison, and another person needed to find an antidote; it would take considerable effort and even face the risk of it being ineffective or accelerating the poison’s effect, making it exceptionally difficult.
However, if one possessed sufficient medical knowledge, there was still some hope of resolving the poison.
Gu Yu was one such person. Now, when he encountered strange poisons, he couldn’t wait to try and resolve them, further deepening his understanding of medical scriptures.
If it were in the past, Gu Yu would have directly poured a basin of spring water down, and no matter what poison it was, it would be resolved or diluted.
If it wasn’t cured, he’d just throw another detoxification pill.
After all, he had plenty.
However, as Gu Yu’s medical skills improved, he was not satisfied with this method. He always felt an itch in his hands, wanting to detoxify it himself.
“A’ Yu, is the mysterious person challenging us? When will this endless entanglement end!”
Then, Gu Mengyao spoke with some helplessness. Thinking of that mysterious person gave her a headache. She really didn’t know what this fellow wanted to do!
If they wanted to kill them, they should just come out and do it!
Why bother with these useless tricks.
As Gu Mengyao thought this, she didn’t realize how terrifying her combat power was. If those assassins had directly come to kill her, perhaps not a single one would have escaped, and all would have met their demise.
Therefore, she could only resort to wit.
It was a pity that… any plans of using wit were impossible with Gu Yu watching!
Even though their plans had failed, Gu Mengyao was still furious thinking about someone trying to cause trouble at her coming-of-age ceremony. She thought she must properly deal with these fellows afterwards.
“After all, we’ve disrupted so many of his plans, he must be gritting his teeth with hatred in his heart, so it’s only natural for him to attack us. In this situation where the enemy is hidden and we are exposed, we can only kill one if they come as one, and kill two if they come as a pair!”
“Mmm, I just don’t want the person I love to get hurt.”
“Don’t worry, we’re not made of paper, we won’t get into trouble so easily.”
After comforting his little wife and seeing Gu Mengyao’s emotions quickly stabilize, Gu Yu wondered if he should mention at this point whether they could return to their home in Yang Family Village soon.
There were too many servants in the Gu Residence. For incidents like today, it was only because he was vigilant, otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.
Therefore, Yang Family Village was better, with fewer people.
However, Gu Mengyao’s coming-of-age ceremony had just passed, was it too hasty to suggest going back so soon?
“A’ Yu, what are you thinking about!”
“Nothing, I was just thinking if the subordinates sent by your father have caught those people.”
“They must have caught them. They were all stunned by your medicinal powder, so they can’t escape no matter what… However, we’ve been at my father’s place for quite some time now, when are we going home?”
When Gu Mengyao saw Gu Yu’s expression flicker, she changed the subject, and what came out of her mouth surprised Gu Yu, making him wonder if Gu Mengyao could read minds.
How could she say exactly what he was thinking.
However, Gu Yu was still very happy to hear that they could go home!
“Mengyao, when do you want to go back?”
“I delayed returning home solely for my coming-of-age ceremony, so how about tomorrow! The sooner we go back, the less worry. It’s been a long time since we’ve returned! I miss the peaceful days we used to have.”
“Mmm, okay, I’ll go prepare now…”
“Prepare what? We can do it tomorrow! As for now, there are more important things.”
“More important things?”
“Mmm, I’m an adult now, so I can do some ‘shy’ things!”
Gu Yu listened to Gu Mengyao’s words with a blank expression, his mind struggling to keep up.
He never expected… that his little wife would want to do “shy” things with him after her coming-of-age ceremony!
Moreover, she currently looked like a seductive little fox, and her clothes were slowly slipping off, revealing the white underwear beneath, outlining the curves of her recently fuller figure.

I apologize, I threw up today due to discomfort and am not in good condition. I will try to update more tomorrow.
