Chapter 67.3: 装
[Pretending]
In the end, it was Qiu Shi who opened his mouth first and couldn’t help but spit out, “Little Boss, did he misunderstand something,?”
Next to him, Qiu Wu also couldn’t help but continue the conversation, following and spitting out, “Little Boss, what kind of expression when you look at Master? it’s simply too sappy. My master isn’t a child anymore, he doesn’t need to be so cautiously protected.”

“That’s right, what’s there to worry about? Not to mention that it’s just a few hooligans, even if there’s a dozen more, with the master’s cleverness and wisdom, it’s still too much for them to get away with.”
Qiu Jiu looked at the two people who made a fuss over nothing, with an expression that you guys have seen less, but at the end of the day, after thinking for a while, looking at the fact that they worked together, he still reminded, “It’s okay for you guys to mumble in private, but don’t push these things to the little boss, if the little boss knows about it, don’t blame me, your brother or subordinate, for not reminding you guys.”
“Don’t worry!” Qiu Shi patted his chest and immediately assured Qiu Jiu.
Next to him, Qiu Wu also followed, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell the matter of master pretending to be soft to gain sympathy for the Little Boss!”
Qiu Jiu gave him a blank look and began to wonder if it was a wrong decision to let Qiu Shi come over here.

Gu Family.
It wasn’t until he was led by Gu Lang and stepped through the gate of the Gu family that Chen Xing came back to his senses. From his giddy state, and looking at the hands that the two of them were holding, his face instantly reddened. He then shook off Gu Lang’s hand as if he had been scalded.
Then Chen Xing felt that his action was not too big, and hurriedly explained towards Gu Lang, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just think it’s inappropriate.”
Gu Lang, however, looked at him and asked with a bit of teasing, “Where is this inappropriate?”
Chen Xing was dumbfounded, not expecting Gu Lang to ask this question, and without thinking, he said, “The two of us have nothing to do with each other, so holding hands like this is not appropriate, right?”
After saying that, Chen Xing was upset with himself, feeling that he had said the wrong thing again.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s annoyed appearance, but his face did not show any hint of anger as he came closer to him and said gently, “You are my explicitly married husband, how come we don’t have a relationship?”
With a ‘boom’, Chen Xing felt that something exploded in his head, first staring blankly at Gu Lang, then his face immediately exploded in red, pulling out his legs and running away. Only when he had run away and his mind had cleared up a little did he feel that what he had done was a little silly.
Until Chen Xing turned back to say something, he only saw that Gu Lang was still standing in the same place, looking at him with a gentle expression on his face, and immediately he felt his face getting hotter and hotter. He took a deep breath and said towards Gu Lang, “I’ll go and cook, you take a rest.”
After saying that, Chen Xing turned his head and left again as if fleeing for his life.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s panicked back (flee in confusion by any path), finally he still couldn’t help but ‘pfft’ out a laugh, he felt that the next time he teased Chen Xing, he still had to pay attention to a little bit of proper limits for speech or action or sense of propriety (or proportion), otherwise every time he would run away like this, he wouldn’t be able to have a good conversation.

On the other side, in the Yamen cell,
Zhou Qing was lying on the high to heaven smelly floor with pain all over his body, and only after a long slowdown did he finally get his strength back. As soon as he got his strength back, he immediately sat up before then he grasped the doorway and shouted towards the inspecting official: “Sir, give me justice ah!”
Hearing this, the official’s eyelids did not lift even a bit, just as if he did not hear it. After all, people who come in here, ten inside nine will be shouting like this, so they have long been accustomed to it.
That Zhou Qing perennial in this group, naturally also understand some of the official temperament, see that the official ignored him, he is not angry, just continue to say:
