My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General

After Wang Hu displayed an expression as if his father had died because he had to go to jail, the incident of forcing a woman was finally resolved.

Although Wang Hu’s behavior greatly displeased Bai Linyue, she also knew that it would be unreasonable to have him executed just for this kind of offense.

After all, in ancient times, if someone abducted a woman and neither the people pursued it nor the officials investigated it, the matter would simply be forgotten.

A strong dragon doesn’t oppress the local snake—Bai Linyue couldn’t act too excessively in Lianchen Town.

She had come to avoid an arranged marriage, not to look for trouble everywhere. Otherwise, if her uncle personally packed her up and sent her back, that wouldn’t be good.

After all, Bai Wangzhi had been serving in Lianchen Town for many years without dealing with Wang Hu’s family, which suggested complex local connections that couldn’t be rashly disturbed.

Today, Wang Hu had merely encountered Bai Linyue, a tough opponent, resulting in a three-month jail tour experience. Otherwise, he would have already taken the beautiful woman home to consummate the marriage.

So, after Wang Hu left with his group, heads down and dispirited, the surrounding onlookers, seeing there was no more drama to watch, also dispersed.

Everyone had left except for Gu Yu, who was still being detained.

Uncle Zhong, who had captured Gu Yu thinking he was an accomplice to Wang Hu, now looked at his young miss with an extremely embarrassed expression. Had he known that the young miss intended to forcibly abduct a decent young man, he would never have caught Gu Yu.

Putting aside whether this was right or wrong, just based on the young miss’s status, someone like Gu Yu from the common folk wasn’t worthy of her.

If the young miss truly had feelings for this little fellow who still looked like a boy, when they returned to the capital, the master would surely kill him… After all, the young miss had run away from home to escape an arranged marriage.

Now, if she directly brought back a son-in-law, the master and mistress might be so vexed they’d cough blood.

“Miss, since the matter has been resolved, I need to go home now.”

“You think you can just leave? Wang Hu just said you were his accomplice. Do you think you can still walk away?”

Gu Yu was truly tired of this woman’s predatory gaze, which looked at him as if he were a delicious piece of meat, almost drooling with desire.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, knowing he needed to leave quickly.

If he delayed, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

But while Gu Yu wanted to go, Bai Linyue didn’t want to let him go.

Having finally found someone so appealing to her, according to what her cousin Bai Qian had said, she should just imprison him by her side, avoiding any future accidents.

“He says I’m his accomplice, and you believe him? I could also say I’m an immortal descended from heaven—would you believe that too?”

“…”

Bai Linyue wanted to keep Gu Yu, but Gu Yu wasn’t one to stand still and be slaughtered. So after a chuckle, he looked at Bai Linyue with a mischievous gaze at the corner of his eye, appearing much more mature than his twelve years.

While Bai Linyue mentally exclaimed what a bewitching creature he was, she became even more determined to keep Gu Yu.

“Alright, I have other matters to attend to today. If you want to find me, come to Yang Village and ask for the name Yang Shun.”

“Yang Shun?”

“Yes. When the time comes, you can also visit the Yang family, instead of blocking people on the street. This will also prevent others from saying you’re forcibly abducting men in public.”

Gu Yu saw the determination in Bai Linyue’s eyes, so he didn’t plan to confront her directly.

Although he was now a son-in-law who had married into his wife’s family, men having multiple wives and concubines wasn’t unusual. If Bai Linyue insisted on marrying him, and perhaps even taking the Gu surname… just thinking about it made Gu Yu uncomfortable all over.

Of course, given Bai Linyue’s status, marrying into a family wasn’t possible… but she might use forceful means to directly pack Gu Yu up and take him away.

So, Gu Yu came up with the clever plan of framing someone else.

However, for Yang Shun, it might not be a bad thing… After all, Bai Linyue was beautiful and came from a powerful family. If things worked out between her and Yang Shun, it would fulfill the Yang family’s wish for Yang Shun to rise in the world.

Speaking with a serious expression, Gu Yu felt no guilt about deceiving others. If Bai Linyue hadn’t been so clingy, he wouldn’t have resorted to this plan.

Anyway, the important thing now was to leave.

Moreover, Uncle Zhong, who was eyeing him vigilantly from the side, wouldn’t allow his young miss to get entangled with a country bumpkin. After this incident, he would likely tell Bai Linyue’s uncle to forcefully restrain her.

At worst, Gu Yu would try to avoid coming to town as much as possible. After enduring for three months, he would be able to escape this woman.
