Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1189 - 1191: An Ironclad Relationship

With these thoughts in mind, Guo Feng went to Shanshi County the next day.

By the time he arrived in Shanshi County, it was already evening. Visiting at night might be inappropriate, so he stayed at an inn.

He went to the Chu Mansion in Shibao Town the next day.

Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian had just finished breakfast when a servant came to report that Guo Feng from Lin County was requesting to see them. Wang Xiangxiang quickly said, "Invite him in."

Guo Feng followed the house servant into the Chu Mansion, arriving at Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian’s courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Guo Feng clasped his hands in greeting, "Master Chu."

Chu Lian quickly returned the gesture and said, "Master Guo."

Guo Feng turned his head, indicating for the house servant to put down what he had brought, and then said, "Just a small token, nothing of great respect."

"Not at all, Master Guo, you’re too courteous," Chu Lian said, gesturing for Guo Feng to sit.

They all sat down, and the little maid served tea.

Once seated, Wang Xiangxiang asked, "Why did you come to Lin County?"

"I’m here for some business, thought I’d drop by to see you. What? Not welcome?"

Wang Xiangxiang pouted, "Welcome, welcome, why didn’t you bring your precious wife along?"

"She’s pregnant, and the ride would be too jarring, so she didn’t come."

Wang Xiangxiang was extremely surprised, "What? Such a big thing, how come you didn’t tell me?"

Guo Feng twitched the corner of his mouth; she dared say that. He asked in return, "How come you didn’t tell me about your betrothal, such a big thing?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I didn’t have the chance to say it, did I? Besides, why should I tell you everything?"

"Then why should I tell you everything?"

"..."

"..."

The two of them started scowling and glaring at each other, leaving Chu Lian speechless on the side, wondering if they forgot he was still there, a living being in this place. He spoke up to remind them, "Master Guo, drink tea, drink tea."

Hearing Chu Lian’s voice, Guo Feng realized he had been a bit rude; he and Xiangxiang were used to interacting like this and had forgotten to restrain themselves earlier. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he picked up the tea cup, awkwardly saying, "Master Chu, drink tea, drink tea."

Then he brought the tea cup to his lips and took a few sips.

The two continued drinking tea; Chu Lian’s lips curled slightly, speaking in a mischievous tone, "Looks like Master Guo’s relationship with my wife is really quite special."

Although he knew there was nothing between Xiangxiang and Guo Feng, Chu Lian couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, unavoidable that he’d say something with such an ambiguous tone.

Such words made Guo Feng somewhat displeased, so he frowned and responded, "Master Chu, you really said it right. I told you last time, the relationship between Xiangxiang and me is indeed extraordinary. The two of us have a bond of iron."

While speaking, Guo Feng glanced at Xiangxiang and asked, "Right, Xiangxiang?"

Wang Xiangxiang knew Chu Lian was already somewhat unhappy, glared at Guo Feng and said, "Enough nonsense, who has an iron relationship with you? My relationship with my husband is the one that is as strong as iron."

Just now, Chu Lian was so upset by Guo Feng’s words that his mouth was nearly crooked; only after hearing Xiangxiang’s words did he feel better.

"You’ve got a husband now, forgotten about your brother," Guo Feng said helplessly.

"What’s wrong? I won’t admit you’re my brother. Besides, what kind of brother are you? Trying to stir up issues between me and my husband? You do that again, you’d better leave."

"You’re really kicking me out?"

"What’s wrong? If not you, then who? Of course, I’d choose my husband over you."
