Chapter 125 You've gotten fat.
He Zhen's sudden attack was something Gu Xingzhao hadn't expected, and it was so swift and decisive. After all, when she was given the stun gun for self-defense, Gu Xingzhao couldn't even hold it properly and was afraid it would electrocute someone.

Look at it now, how easy it is to use, how well it's controlled, it's confusing but doesn't hurt your brain.

The people in the courtyard were stunned by what they saw. It was so quiet that they could only hear their own breathing and heartbeats. They had no idea what their mistress had done to the thug. All they saw was that the thug had simply stretched out his hand and fallen down.

The older one fell, but the younger one did not. The younger one stared wide-eyed and whimpered, thinking that its older brother had been stabbed to death. At this moment, it cried out for its older brother in its heart, feeling extremely sad.

Seeing the woman who had stabbed him earlier looking at him, fear gripped his heart, and he fainted from fright.

He Zhen: "."

Is it really necessary? He hadn't even reached out his hand yet.

The people around in the courtyard sighed inwardly, thinking how incredibly strong their wife was; look, she had even scared the thug into fainting.

Gu Xingzhao silently gave He Zhen a thumbs up in his heart. Look, Liu Xiangbai doesn't need to worry about her at all. His wife looks weak, but she is actually worth several people. No one in the whole courtyard can compare to her.

The people in the courtyard quickly escorted the two thugs out, preparing to hand them over to the city defense battalion on night patrol.

He Zhen then returned to the house, put down the stun gun in her hand, her hand was still trembling, and her heart was beating very fast. Although she had long guessed that someone would be after her, it was impossible for her not to be afraid at all when she actually encountered it.

God knows how badly her hands were shaking, but she had to keep it up, otherwise people would laugh at her and anyone could bully her in the future.

Fortunately, this hurdle has been overcome for now. At least it lets those lurking in the shadows know that not just anyone can enter this mansion.

He Zhen sat down by the bed, thinking about what had just happened. She wondered how the man was doing, whether he was dead or alive.
If I die, and the authorities investigate, will the people in my courtyard be implicated?
She suddenly realized that she had been too impulsive.

"You did very well."

The voice of the gods echoed in the room. He Zhen subconsciously looked at the paper tube on the table, her heart pounding wildly. Had the gods seen everything that had just happened?

Do you still think she did a great job?
Seeing how easily He Zhen had handled the situation, Gu Xingzhao thought she was fearless. However, he did not expect that she was just putting on a brave face. In fact, it was true that anyone would be fearless in such a situation, even if they were prepared.

Seeing that He Zhen was beginning to feel worried and fearful, Gu Xingzhao comforted her, "Those two are malicious and deserve to be punished. You did a good job, so there's no need to worry."

The divine reassurance was very effective at this time, and it immediately calmed He Zhen's uneasy heart.

"Why are you here?"

He Zhen was puzzled. The gods had never come this late before. Could it be that they were disturbed by her affairs?

Gu Xingzhao explained, "I came to check how many fireworks were left. I didn't expect to run into something like this. It's good that you were prepared, and sending the person to see the authorities was a smart decision."

"You are indeed as smart and capable as I thought. I feel very reassured entrusting the fireworks to you."

Hearing the approval in the deity's tone, He Zhen blushed slightly and said, "You flatter me."

Gu Xingzhao smiled, "I just checked, there's not much left in the warehouse, it seems business has been getting better and better lately?"

He Zhen: "A lot of out-of-town merchants have come and placed orders. It seems that the reputation of fireworks has spread to other places."

Gu Xingzhao nodded. "It's a good thing that out-of-town businessmen are buying it, but remember to make sure you have a contract with them so that you won't get involved if anything happens in the future."

He Zhen agreed, "Don't worry, the Xu family reminded me the other day and even sent a specialist in this area."

Speaking of this, she wanted to thank the Xu family, as she had truly learned a lot from them in terms of business.

Gu Xingzhao raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems the Xu family is truly kind-hearted." He Zhen added, "Yes, I heard the Xu family only has one daughter, who married into the Lu family and is now part of that exiled group."

She tentatively mentioned it, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart; such a good family, yet their daughter was suffering in exile.

Gu Xingzhao vaguely guessed that He Zhen was inquiring about news for the Xu family couple. "Her daughter is doing well, eating and drinking well, and has even gained a lot of weight."

He Zhen just listened to these words, thinking that the gods liked to joke. How could an exiled person eat and drink well and get fat?

But those words are quite comforting.

Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. Xu Shi had indeed gained a lot of weight, but it wasn't just Xu Shi who had gained weight.

"Haven't you seen your husband in a long time?"

He Zhenmo nodded slightly, "It has been some time."

I've been busy with business dealings with out-of-town businessmen lately, and I've been staying up late at night. My daughter mentioned that she often dreams about her father.

Gu Xingzhao suggested, "Why don't you go and rest now? You might even see your husband again."

We might even get to see how much weight Liu Xiangbo has gained.

He Zhen had originally planned to take another look at the account books, but upon hearing what the deity said, she immediately agreed.

Gu Xingzhao: "I'll send another batch of fireworks tomorrow, a new design. You can decide how to promote it yourself. Get some rest tonight, I won't disturb you any longer."

He Zhen hurriedly sent off the deities.

That night, Liu Xiangbai finally saw his wife. She looked haggard. He touched her face, his heart breaking. This grown man's eyes stung with tears. "Zhen'er, you've lost weight."

He Zhen looked at her husband's once angular face, which had become rounder, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Husband, you have indeed gained weight."

Liu Xiangbai: "."

He lowered his head and coughed a few times. Since he got the eye patch and reached a consensus with the Lu family and the young prince, his appetite had improved a lot. In addition, he couldn't control himself and ate more than he should have because of the delicious food sent by the gods of the Lu family.

Liu Xiangbai immediately became worried and looked at his wife cautiously, "Is she not pretty anymore?"

He remembered that his wife liked his face the most, saying that his slender figure was excellent and gave him the refined and scholarly air of a gentleman.

Now that I've gained weight, will my wife not like me anymore?
He immediately thought of the second son of the Lu family, who seemed to be disliked by Madam Xu, and the couple's relationship was not very good.

Liu Xiangbai panicked at the thought.

He Zhen walked around her husband and noticed that not only his face but also his body had become much more robust. It turned out that the gods were not joking; her husband and the others were indeed eating and drinking well.

Seeing her husband's worried expression, she chuckled and said, "You used to be a bit thin, but it's good to gain some weight now. After all, things outside are different from home, and you need to be well-fed to have the strength."

Exile is a time of great suffering; not everyone can eat and drink well and gain weight. It is all thanks to the blessings of the gods.

Liu Xiangbai realized that his wife was changing the subject and was indeed complaining about his weight gain.

First update delivered.

As usual, I'll adjust to the new house tomorrow at noon after it's all set up.
