Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 696: Beating Up Xia Gu

Luo Wu was truly crying, wiping away his tears as he hurried to lead the horse, unable to wait a moment longer to go to the Xia Family’s manor and settle accounts with Mr. and Mrs. Xia.

Gu Jin’an walked last, and hearing Luo Wu’s words, he was quite satisfied.

Brother Luo Wu did not dislike his elder sister, he loved her too much, afraid she would suffer even the slightest grievance, that’s why he wanted her to marry into a good family.

He could understand Brother Luo Wu’s desire for his sister to have a good life, fearing that marrying him would make her suffer, but if Gu Jin’an encountered such a situation in the future, he would never back down like Brother Luo Wu.

If he liked a girl, even if she was a noble lady, he would still fight with all his might to marry her, because Gu Jin’an never believed in fate.

Gu Jinli was very excited and quickly told Luo Huiniang, "Hui Niang, go lead the horse for your elder brother."

Let’s deal with Mr. and Mrs. Xia!

As she spoke, she was already rummaging through her cloth bag looking for poison.

Qin San Lang was very careful to raise his torch toward her to provide light.

"You have a sharp eye, very sensible," Gu Jinli praised him, continuing to search for the poison.

Qin San Lang smiled; she always liked to say these seemingly adult-like phrases.

Luo Huiniang was not unfamiliar with this residence and quickly found Luo Wu’s horse and led it over.

Luo Wu, without saying much, sternly mounted the horse, taking a torch in his hand, and charged towards the Xia Family’s manor.

"Brother Wu, be careful, don’t fall!" Father Luo yelled anxiously, afraid that Luo Wu might have an accident, and immediately called out to Gu Dashan, "Dashan, let’s quickly catch up."

But in the deep night and dark roads, Luo Wu had already disappeared from view, how could they follow?

In the midst of their anxiety, Gu Jin’an said, "I know where the Xia Family’s manor is located. Father, Uncle Luo, get on the cart, I’ll drive you there."

He then shouted to Zezi, "Follow Qiu Lang in driving the cart."

"Okay." Zezi and Qiu Lang acknowledged, already seated on the front board of another mule cart.

Gu Jinli pulled Luo Huiniang onto the mule cart.

Gu Dashan and Father Luo got onto the mule cart driven by Gu Jin’an.

"Are you seated securely?" Gu Jin’an asked.

Father Luo replied impatiently, "Secure, let’s go now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jin’an whipped the mule.

The sound of clattering was not from the mule cart, but from horse hooves.

Qin San Lang had already mounted his horse, holding the reins in one hand and a torch high in the other, running ahead: "Follow me."

He also knew the location of the Xia Family’s manor, and running ahead could better illuminate the road for the mule carts behind him.

It was too dark, he did not want the mule cart to have an accident, Xiao Yu was still in the cart.

With Qin San Lang leading with the torch, the two mule carts behind ran more smoothly, but Luo Wu’s pace was much faster. He rode like a madman, not caring about the dangers of riding a horse in the dark, and raced out of the county.

He was a squad leader, and the county soldiers guarding the city thought he had official business, so they immediately opened the gate for him.

Several moments later, Luo Wu rushed to the Xia Family’s manor, charging through the wooden fence and into the estate, heading straight for the seven-section grand residence in the center.

Behind him, the manor’s servants, holding torches, chased after him: "Someone help, a thief has broken into the manor, catch him quickly!"

Hearing this, other servants hurried out to block him, but Luo Wu, riding a fast horse, was too quick for them to catch.

After arriving at the grand residence, Luo Wu jumped off his horse and pounded on the front door: "Open up, hurry, open the door, I am Luo Wu, I need to see Xia Gu!"

The gatekeeper knew Luo Wu, as earlier today the old master had even invited him to visit the manor, but he also mocked Luo Wu as useless, a fool he toyed with at his pleasure. Therefore, he had instructed the staff that if Luo Wu should come, there was no need to stop him; let him in, as no danger was expected.

With a creak, the gatekeeper opened the door: "Squad Leader Luo, in the middle of the night you... Hey, hey, Squad Leader Luo, why have no manners? I’ve not even announced you yet."

Luo Wu did not care about the gatekeeper; right now, he just wanted to drag Xia Gu out and give him a severe beating. He charged straight into the residence, not even reaching the guest-welcoming flower hall when he heard the rousing sound of music.

Following the music, Luo Wu rushed into the flower hall he had visited during the day and saw Master Xia with his wife.

The flower hall was as bright as daylight in the dead of night. Master Xia was reclining on a fur-covered seat in the main chair, with Lady Xia kneeling beside him on his left and a very enticing young girl on his right.

The girl was feeding Master Xia, while his hand gently stroked her back.

Luo Wu was stunned; he had always thought Master Xia and Lady Xia were loving, never considering that Master Xia had another woman.

And Lady Xia was not angry; she even passed wine for Master Xia to drink.

Feeling overwhelmed and sick to his stomach, Luo Wu steadied himself, stormed into the Xia Family flower hall, and yelled at Master Xia: "Xia Gu, you shameless old coot, how could you do this?!"

Master Xia was enjoying music, which was very loud, and did not hear Luo Wu coming. He was shocked to see Luo Wu, but after the initial surprise, he calmed down, bit into the venison meat provided by the girl beside him, and said, "Are you talking about Chun’er? Chun’er is my maid, what’s wrong with her feeding me? What do you mean calling me shameless?"

Eating the dry-hot venison, which was supposed to bring some relief, as his wife was getting old and could no longer attend to him, he naturally sought out a young and beautiful maid.

As for Luo Wu...

"What are you doing here so late at night?" Master Xia, his artistic mood disrupted by Luo Wu, was very annoyed. If not for concern about the Gu Family, he would have had Luo Wu dealt with already.

"I’m here to thrash you, you old crook!" Saying so, Luo Wu dashed forward like wind and lightning, his fist as big as a bowl smashing into Master Xia’s face: "Shameless old rascal, you’re dirty yourself, and you dare match Sister Xiu with a filthy bastard like you!"

Thump thump thump!

Luo Wu’s fists were much harder than Gu Jin’an’s; with nearly ten rapid punches, he left Master Xia powerless to fight back.

Everyone in the flower hall was shocked; Chun’er was terrified, trembling all over as she tried to crawl away.

Lady Xia was no better off, watching Luo Wu in horror; she had never expected Luo Wu, who had always been toyed with by her husband, to lash out and hurt someone.

She shivered as she scolded Luo Wu: "Stop... Brother Wu, please stop..."

However, Luo Wu paid her no mind, just kept fiercely hitting Master Xia. If not for the fact that Lady Xia was a woman, he would have hit her too.

Xiao Yu was right; this couple were no good, they were like evil beasts.

Swish—

Master Xia pulled a long sword from a stand nearby, chopping toward Luo Wu: "You lowly brute, daring to assault a current scholar, I’ll file a complaint to have you suffer three thousand cuts of execution and die... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Wu’s fist smashed again, his other hand directly grabbing the sword in Master Xia’s hand. Unafraid of the blade cutting his palm, he yanked fiercely, snatching the sword away; his wrist twisted, and the sword was already pressed to Master Xia’s neck.

"Brother Wu, stop!" Lady Xia was terrified, her courage shattered, she hastily lunged to protect Master Xia, begging Luo Wu: "Brother Wu, put down the sword, don’t do anything foolish. If you harm my husband, your whole family won’t survive. You wouldn’t want your own parents and sister to be killed because of this, right? My husband is a scholar."
