Chapter 863: The Petite Wife

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hu Jie’s face flushed with indignation. She couldn’t believe that this woman had the audacity to publicly compare her to a mere dish, and even accuse her of acting beneath her status. No one had ever dared to treat her this way before. She was truly a cunning adversary. Remembering how her previous attempts to thwart this woman’s plans had been foiled, Hu Jie’s expression darkened further. She was determined not to let Su Shen leave the capital!

With a cold huff, Hu Jie stormed off, leaving the surrounding crowd in stunned silence. It was the first time they had seen the wealthy young lady take such a blow without retaliating. Their leader’s wife was indeed a formidable woman.

The crowd had always been puzzled. How could a woman like Hu Jie, who came from a powerful family and was blessed with both beauty and intelligence, be so determined to marry their leader, Su Shen, and yet he remained unmoved? If any other man in the military district had been in his shoes, they would have considered it the luck of a lifetime.

However, after seeing the leader’s wife now, they seemed to understand. There truly were such beautiful and charming women in the world. Her aura was in no way inferior to Hu Jie’s, and she was so young, so devoted to her husband. Who wouldn’t be moved by such a woman? No wonder their leader was willing to risk everything to return to Guangcheng!

Gu Zi helped Su Shen into the examination room. Once inside, she let go of his hand and didn’t even spare the older man a glance. Su Shen hurriedly explained, “Ah Zi, I didn’t ask her to come. Don’t be angry.”

Gu Zi no longer bothered to pretend. Even in the presence of the examining doctor and nurse, she didn’t bother to hide her haughty demeanor. “I’m not angry,” she declared. “You still have a chance. If you decide to stay in the capital, that’s fine. I’m still young. I can find someone else, someone more handsome and wealthier than you.”

Su Shen choked at her words, coughing violently. His wound began to bleed more profusely. Su Shen realized that while his enemies might not be able to take his life, Gu Zi could. A single casual remark from her could infuriate him to death.
