Transmigrated into Substitute Bride Fu Lang

Chapter 30.1:

他高興便好

It’s good that he is happy

 

 

Chen Xing went back to Gu’s Residence happily, feeling extraordinarily fortunate today.

 

Although the stall had been ruined, the man was caught immediately and the feudal officials promised to send him the compensation money, apart from a bit of trouble in repairing the damage, basically, there were no more worries.

 

Besides that, in this blessing in disguise, he uncovered the person who was behind his shenanigans,so after warning her, she didn’t dare to do any more damage to him.

 

Chen Xing was so pleased with himself that he was humming when he entered the door.

 

Qiu Jiu, who was following behind him, looked at his happy back, his eyes full of complicated emotions, some torn, some doubtful, and some uncertainty. With a sigh, he resigned himself to pushing the wheelbarrow in.

 

Chen Xing pushed open the door of Gu’s mansion and saw Gu Lang in the courtyard, carrying a small bucket to water the flowers.

 

The courtyard, which was originally overgrown with grass, had been cleaned up, leaving only a bare patch of ground.

 

Chen Xing was worried that Gu Lang would be bored at home, so he bought a lot of rare flowers and planted seeds for Gu Lang to plant in his spare time. It didn’t matter whether he could grow something or not, what matters was that Gu Lang could exercise his body through this kind of exercise.

 

Chen Xing did not expect that the seeds would survive in Gu Lang’s hands and since it sprouted, it has been growing beautifully.

 

Gu Lang looked up at the door when he heard the commotion so when he saw the cheerful look on Chen Xing’s face, he gave a gentle smile and said gently, “What have you encountered today? Why are you so happy?”

 

Chen Xing covered his face in shock and asked with a little confusion in his voice, “Do I look that happy?”

 

Gu Lang pointed at his face and said softly, “The look on your face can’t fool anyone.”

 

When Gu Lang pointed out his mood in such a casual manner, Chen Xing became more and more embarrassed. He raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Lang, shook his head and said in a slightly perfunctory manner, “It’s just a small matter.”

 

After saying this, as if he was worried that Gu Lang would continue to ask questions, he hurriedly said, “That’s right, by the way, we came back late today. You should be hungry, right? I’ll go to the kitchen and cook now. Wait for me and soon the food will be ready to eat soon.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s back as he ran away quickly, pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to Qiu Jiu, who had been acting as a transparent person, and asked indifferently, “Tell me, what happened again today?”

 

Qiu Jiu was in tears, thinking about what he had just promised Chen Xing and looking at the expressionless Gu Lang in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, still chose to betray Chen Xing, telling Gu Lang everything that had happened today.

 

“Are you saying that the woman did it because she was jealous?” Gu Lang’s voice had a touch of sarcasm in it.

 

Qiu Jiu also understood why his family’s young master despised it so much. After all, because of such a ridiculous reason, that woman commanded someone to ruin Chen Xing’s stall.

 

Qiu Jiu said surely, “Yes, that’s what those local ruffians said, and when we went to her shop, the owner obviously knew Chen Xing and had a disgusted look on her face. I also think she did it. Oh that’s right, she is the owner of Qiao’s restaurant that Gongzi asked me to investigate last time.”

 

Gu Lang’s face instantly went cold and his voice even took on a slight chill, “Is it her?”

 

Qiu Jiu nodded his head.

 

Gu Lang lowered his eyes to the newly sprouted buds on the ground and asked in a low voice, “What Chen Xing’s attitude in this matter?”

 

Qiu Jiu scratched his head, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but he still told the whole story in detail, “Chen Xing thought that the person who ruined his stall had already been punished. Moreover that boss was first time breaking the law, so he thought he would just forgive people [得饶人处且饶人: where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them] and not pursue the matter any further.”

 

Gu Lang laughed softly, his words carried a bit of disgust, but his words were a bit of doting in it, “He ah, he’s really too soft-hearted.”

 

Qiu Jiu beside him also nodded in agreement, he also felt that Chen Xing was too soft-hearted.

 

However, Gu Lang soon changed his topic of conversation and said, “But, it’s also good like this.”

 

Qiu Jiu looked at his family’s young master and didn’t quite understand what he meant, but then he heard Gu Lang continue to say, “Let’s leave it at that, since he doesn’t want to pursue this matter, then let him be happy ba.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Gu Lang glanced at the direction Chen Xing had left, his eyes were deep, he had seen too much mutual deceit and treachery, he still liked Chen Xing’s sincere heart, he just hoped that he wouldn’t change too fast.

 

Gu Lang slowly withdrew his eyes, put the ladle back into the bucket, glanced at Qiu Jiu who was standing next to him, and said in an indifferent voice, “Let’s go, I have something for you to do.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Qiu Jiu followed Gu Lang to the study room.

 

Gu Lang took a box off the bookshelf and handed it to Qiu Jiu. If Chen Xing was still here, he would have recognised that the box in front of him was the same one that the old shopkeeper had given to Gu Lang when he and Gu Lang went to the bookstore.

 

Qiu Jiu took the box and stood still, waiting for Gu Lang’s next instruction.

 

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at him and said softly, “Tell the innkeeper that I have already written down what to do. Tell him to tell the one above that I have retired to recuperate from my illness and I don’t want to be too involved in those matters in the future, so don’t send me any more letters.”

 

“Yes.” Qiu Jiu’s face was solemn as he replied.

 

After explaining this, Gu Lang looked at Qiu Jiu and seemed to remember something else so he continued, “Oh besides that, the government official, tell them not to do too much in the future, so that Chen Xing won’t realize anything.”

 

Qiu Jiu felt that his family’s young master was overly worried and that Chen Xing should not find out about it but then he remembered the scene when he came back and was a bit unsure, so he said, “Yes, I understand.”

 

When Gu Lang had explained all those things clearly, he looked a little more relaxed, but his face was still expressionless as before.
