Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Captured Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Captured The young wife found no reason to refuse.

But Gu Ya was satisfied.

“Yunjin, I’m going to prepare hot water now, you stay here and wait for me.” Gu Ya got up, but before he could leave, the young wife pulled him back.

Su Yunjin acted as if she was doing it for Gu Ya’s benefit, “My lord, bathing in a tub could get your wound wet easily, it might be better if I just help you wipe down instead.”

With the reason of the wound possibly getting wet, Su Yunjin successfully stopped Gu Ya. With her strategy succeeding, Su Yunjin secretly rejoiced, while Gu Ya maintained a stern face throughout.

Su Yunjin generally wiped down Gu Ya’s upper body, helped clean his legs as well, but the only part left untouched was where Gu Ya wore his shorts.

Su Yunjin thought that area did not need cleaning, but Gu Ya reminded her, “Yunjin, it’s not finished.” He wanted her to clean the remaining area as well.

Su Yunjin glanced at the area covered by his shorts and asked in a negotiating tone.

“My lord, may I skip it?”

“What do you think?” Gu Ya clearly meant it was not okay.

“***.”

Thinking quickly on her feet, Su Yunjin picked up the bucket and ran, “I’m going to dump the water.” The young wife just ran off, leaving Gu Ya with a darker face.

From the moment Su Yunjin came back from dumping the water, Gu Ya’s handsome face remained stern.

After the recent incident, neither spouse initiated a conversation with the other. Thus, they went to sleep separately, Su Yunjin on the inside, Gu Ya on the outside, not paying any attention to her.

Su Yunjin also ignored Gu Ya.

Sleeping with her back to him.

Intentionally keeping a distance between them and Gu Ya.

Su Yunjin lay there, expecting Gu Ya to hold her first. When no movement came for a while, she thought that Gu Ya might not touch her tonight.

But suddenly, a pair of large hands reached out.

And skillfully pulled her into his embrace, returning to the familiar hold. Su Yunjin, inhaling Gu Ya’s pleasant scent, murmured softly.

“My lord, weren’t you ignoring me?” Wasn’t this man ignoring her all night? How come he still held her? Gu Ya’s large hands clasped the young wife tightly.

Then bent down to kiss her, “Yunjin, who told you I was ignoring you?”

No need to ask.

Gu Ya was obviously ignoring her.

His stern face was evidence enough.

If that wasn’t ignoring her, what was?

Gu Ya then kissed her.

“Yunjin, go to sleep!” The young wife is his woman, carrying his child; how could he ignore her? He was just waiting for her to initiate the conversation.

Lacking any opening from him.

The young wife remained silent as well.

No other way.

If the young woman won’t initiate.

Then he’d have to be the first to coax the young wife.

Liu Kui had escaped, and Gu Ya along with Wang Meng were investigating his whereabouts. The Magistrate had summoned back Shopkeeper Shen and Fan Wu, and had also interrogated them about Liu Kui’s whereabouts.

Both Shen and Fan claimed they didn’t know where Liu Kui was.

The Magistrate thought Shopkeeper Shen and Fan Wu were lying and even had them tortured, but even after being tortured, they still claimed ignorance.

It was apparent that they truly did not know Liu Kui’s whereabouts.

Only then did the Magistrate put them back in jail to continue their detention.

With Liu Kui still not found, the Magistrate had not formally started the trial, waiting to capture Liu Kui as well, and then prosecute them together. Liu Kui had been elusive for days.

Yet, news came on this particular morning.

He had been captured.
