Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 206 I’m giving you face

"shadow."

After Gu Qingyuan finished speaking, there was silence around her for a moment, as if everyone was thinking about her words.

Yes, only their shadows look like them, and they follow them wherever they go. Shadows don't appear on rainy or cloudy days, when there's no sunlight.

"Humph, I thought of it a long time ago, but this woman got there first."

Someone said unconvinced.

Gu Qingyuan ignored the looks from the people around her and asked the boss with a smile, "Did I answer correctly?"

The boss took down the Yuchang sword and handed it to Gu Qingyuan, "That's absolutely right. This Yuchang sword is for you."

No matter how unwilling they were to accept it, it was Gu Qingyuan who guessed the answer first, and the others could only stare blankly.

Gu Qingyuan was only interested in the Yuchang sword. After getting it, she turned around and was about to leave. But at this moment, the woman who had just said that she had thought of it a long time ago but was taken aback by Gu Qingyuan pushed her.

Gu Qingyuan's expression immediately turned cold, and she asked loudly, "Who pushed me?"

The Yuchang sword in her hand reflected a cold light, and her face, which was somewhat angry, made people feel a little scared.

The witness pointed to a woman who was a few inches shorter than Gu Qingyuan and was wearing gray clothes and said, "It was her. We just saw her push you."

"Yes, it was this woman who pushed you."

As she spoke, the people around her took a step back, leaving only the woman in gray with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"I was the first one to figure out the answer, so the Yuchang Sword should be mine."

"You thought of it first?" Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows. "But why didn't you say it just now, and let me say it first?"

Don't think that she didn't notice the distressed expressions of these people just now. If someone had thought of it, they would have stood up and said it earlier. Now that she has answered it, she is talking about it after the fact.

"I...you were too fast. I didn't have time to say anything."

The woman in gray replied with a guilty conscience.

"How about this, let me give you a puzzle."

Gu Qingyuan's words seemed to have magical power, making everyone around them quiet down.

"You come to pay? What's the reward?"

Gu Qingyuan took out another sword she was wearing. It was made for her by General Gu. It could cut iron like mud, and the hilt was made of pure gold.

"If anyone can answer my riddle, I will give him this sword."

After she finished speaking, she asked the people around her, and then specifically asked the woman in gray, "What do you think? Do you dare to accept this challenge?"

"What's wrong with this?"

The woman in gray was attracted by the sword that Gu Qingyuan originally wore. You know, the hilt of the sword is made of gold, and I wonder how much it can be exchanged for.

If it were the old Gu Qingyuan, after answering the puzzle correctly and being questioned and pushed, she would have turned the tables long ago, and might even have stabbed the person who pushed her.

But today she was so good-tempered that she wanted to give another puzzle to the people around her, and she also wanted to give away the Sword of Dawn.

A woman in the crowd seemed to be lost in thought.

"Hurry up and give me some questions."

The people around urged him on, as they were very curious about what kind of questions Gu Qingyuan would ask.

"Don't worry," Gu Qingyuan glanced at the woman in gray, "If you can't answer, how about kneeling down and apologizing to me?"

She had not forgotten the push from the woman just now. If she had not been steady, she would have fallen down in public and made a fool of herself.

"Don't go too far!" The woman suddenly raised her voice.

Gu Qingyuan scratched her ears. "I haven't even started yet, why is this girl accusing me of bullying? Or do you know you can't answer it at all?"

Gu Qingyuan pressed forward step by step, forcing the woman to take a step back.

"Just come out, stop wasting time."

Gu Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and the people around her saw that she was thinking and became quiet again.

Lin Xinghe, who witnessed all this, only felt that Gu Qingyuan's figure became even taller in his heart.

In the past, all the reputation he heard about her was very bad, but since some time ago, positive rumors about her have gradually increased in the capital.

Even the servants of the Lin family would secretly talk about it, saying that Young Master Gu was different from before, and some unmarried men wanted to marry her.

Lin Xinghe originally thought that because of the relationship between his family and the Gu family, as well as his looks, she would definitely be willing to marry him.

But she had no interest in him at all. Even when they were walking together just now, he tried to get close to her on purpose, but she avoided him.

At this moment, Gu Qingyuan spoke——

"How many characters are there in the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"This... I haven't counted it properly yet."

"Isn't this too difficult? Who needs to count the words when memorizing something?"

"Exactly. Did you count every word?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at the dumbfounded woman in gray with great interest and asked her, "Have you figured it out?"

Even the boss behind the stall scratched his head and wanted to take out the abacus to do the calculations.

"But the Four Books alone include The Analects, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, and Mencius. How long will it take to calculate..."

The woman who was being questioned by Gu Qingyuan said awkwardly, "Can't you change the question? This is too difficult."

The others agreed with the gray-clothed woman's words, and some even wanted to go back and find the Four Books and Five Classics to count them word by word.

"Does anyone have an answer? If not, I'm going to announce the answer."

"Hey, wait a minute. We'll figure it out soon."

Gu Qingyuan crossed her arms over her chest, and even took the time to glance at Chunfen, Lin Xinghe, and the Lin family servant who were standing outside the crowd.

But after an incense stick of time passed, no one said anything.

"Actually, the answer is very simple." Gu Qingyuan smiled innocently.

"Of course it's four words. Four, Book, Five, Classic. Isn't that just four words? I'm not deliberately trying to embarrass you."

When talking about the "Four Books and Five Classics", Gu Qingyuan slowed down his speech and spoke word by word so that they could hear clearly.

At this moment, everyone around suddenly realized.

"Yeah, that's just four words. Oh, I didn't realize it."

"Oh, it really is."

Someone slapped his head in frustration.

The woman in gray had an ugly look on her face, and Gu Qingyuan had already circled behind her and kicked her hard in the knee.

"what!"

The woman screamed in surprise, then knelt down without warning. Gu Qingyuan came up to her and said, "Oh my, such a generous gift on New Year's Day! I just happened to have a few copper coins on me, so I'll give them to you as New Year's money."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyuan took out two copper coins left over from his purchase and placed them in front of the woman. Seeing that she refused to take them, he pressed her head to the ground.

She leaned close to the woman's ear and said something that only the two of them could hear.

"Dare to push me? Did I give you face?"

The woman's face was pale. Gu Qingyuan had used a lot of force when he pressed her head to the ground.

Now she has the mark of two copper coins on her forehead.
