Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 36 Wedding Banquet
The pen and medicine were both purchased from the system's in-game store.

That pen is special; it only lasts for 5 hours, after which the writing will disappear.

And after the medicine is used, any residue or traces will evaporate.

If you're going to do it, you can't leave any evidence or traces.

"As for the reason, I don't want to say for now."

“But I didn’t retaliate against him without reason; he deserved all of this.”

As she spoke of this, Gu Jianing thought of what Wen Zhuqing had done to her and her family in her previous life, and intense emotions welled up in her eyes.

His hands were clenched tightly.

I've told you everything, but I don't know what will happen to Sheng Zexi.

"If you think I'm scheming, malicious, and want a divorce, then I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sheng Zexi pulled her into his arms and flicked her forehead lightly.

A slight pain caused Gu Jianing to abruptly stop speaking.

"I won't allow you to say such things."

"Now that we're married, we'll never separate. We'll always be happy and walk hand in hand into the future."

“Ningning, although I don’t know what grudge you have with Wen Zhuqing, I believe what you said. How could I blame you? I just feel sorry for you.”

Sheng Zexi gently stroked Gu Jianing's face, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He just saw it; he saw the undisguised hatred in Ningning's eyes, and it wasn't fake.

Wen Zhuqing must have done something to offend Ningning for the little girl to scheme against him like this.

He felt heartbroken and angry with himself for letting this little girl be bullied by others when he couldn't see her.

He felt that the beating he gave Wen Zhuqing before was too lenient.

"Ningning, I love you no matter what you are like."

"Besides, I'm not exactly a good person either. You always think I have a sharp tongue, and..." Sheng Zexi leaned closer and told her about how he beat up Wen Zhuqing on the day they met.

Gu Jianing's eyes widened, then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that her decision to jump into the river because of Wen Zhuqing made Sheng Zexi jealous.

However, it's a good thing to beat that scumbag Wen Zhuqing up more.

After they talked things out, their relationship seemed to grow even closer.

"Alright, my little girl, don't think too much about things. Remember, I am your husband. If anything happens in the future, just tell me. And remember, no matter what, I will always stand by you and protect you."

Like the Gu family, Sheng Zexi has a common personality trait: he is protective of his own.

"And all you have to do is be yourself and be happy."

Be happy and be yourself.

Sheng Zexi's words brought tears to Gu Jianing's eyes. In her past life, she had lost her truest and most fundamental self because of Wen Zhuqing.

She devoted herself entirely to Wen Zhuqing, losing herself in the process.

"It's not good for a girl to always look gloomy. She'll look like a sour cucumber, all wrinkled, sour, and skinny. That's not pretty."

"Sheng Zexi, how dare you call me a pickled cucumber!"

Gu Jianing waved away her earlier emotion and made a move to hit Sheng Zexi. That guy's mouth always has the ability to ruin the atmosphere.

Sheng Zexi laughed and dodged away, feeling relieved to see Gu Jianing so vibrant.

That's how it should be, Gu Jianing. Don't carry so much burden. You should be happy and carefree like a girl your age should be.

In fact, Sheng Zexi had noticed it a long time ago. When he returned and saw Gu Jianing this time, he found that Gu Jianing seemed to have changed.

For some reason, the little girl's eyes sometimes held a sense of vicissitude and sadness, as if she were carrying a heavy burden of tragic events and emotions.

Although Sheng Zexi didn't say it aloud, he could tell. And he felt even more sorry for him.

Today, he also had a vague feeling that this matter might be related to Wen Zhuqing.

However, after the matchmaking meeting that day, he had someone investigate the matter between Wen Zhuqing and Ningning.

He could see it very clearly: the little girl was chasing after the man, while the cunning and hypocritical man was keeping the little girl on his toes.

He even lured a young girl into jumping into the river for the sake of a job.

It was after the little girl was rescued that her thoughts changed.

There have been big changes.

It even made Sheng Zexi think of some supernatural and bizarre things.

But the moment he jumped through the window with his things and saw the little girl, he knew for sure that no matter how she changed, she was still her.

That's enough.

As for what heinous things Wen Zhuqing did to the little girl, we'll tell him when she's ready to tell us.

He is in no hurry.

He and Ningning are already married; they have a lifetime ahead of them, and he can wait patiently.

Wait until Ningning tells him, wait until Ningning completely trusts him, wait until Ningning falls in love with him.
-
Three days later, Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan's wedding banquet was held as scheduled.

Wen Zhuqing married into the Bao family. Logically speaking, this kind of marriage is similar to marrying off a daughter, and the Bao family should give a bride price.

But Bao Yingzi said that Wen Zhuqing had bullied Bao Shanyan, and she was already being very kind by letting Wen Zhuqing and Yanzi get married and not holding a grudge. How could she possibly give back the bride price?

In particular, no parents or other relatives of Wen Zhuqing's family came to visit.

However, Bao Yingzi also said that once Wen Zhuqing entered the Bao family, he would definitely not lack food or drink.

Speaking of which, although the Bao family only consisted of Bao Yingzi and her daughter Bao Shanyan, they lived a good life because the two were strong and skilled hunters. Even their dwelling was a rare brick and tile house in the village.

This banquet was attended by quite a few people, and each table had several dishes, at least half of which were meat dishes.

Even those villagers who weren't particularly close to the Bao family came because of the food at the banquet.

After all, in those days, many families lacked food and clothing, especially meat, which they could only eat a few times a year.

This is a rare opportunity.

Gu Jianing also came out with her family to watch the excitement.

When Gu Jianing saw that Wen Zhuqing was being driven back to the Bao family by Bao Shanyan on a bicycle, she was dumbfounded.

Judging from Wen Zhuqing's expression, she was extremely frustrated.

But Wen Zhuqing seemed to have no way to deal with Bao Shanyan.

Indeed, Wen Zhuqing, sitting on the back of the bicycle, felt extremely embarrassed and aggrieved.

When Bao Shanyan rode his bicycle to the educated youth settlement to arrange a marriage and offered to take him back, Wen Zhuqing naturally refused.

But his refusal was to no avail.

Bao Shanyan was extremely strong, much stronger than Wen Zhuqing. Even though Wen Zhuqing resisted, Bao Shanyan still managed to forcibly lift her onto the back of the bicycle.

If Wen Zhuqing resisted again, she would immediately threaten, "Zhuqing, are you so unwilling because you don't want to marry into my Bao family, or do you want to go to jail?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhuqing could only clench her hands and give up.

Gu Jianing watched this scene in surprise, and seeing Wen Zhuqing's frustrated look, she felt extremely satisfied.

Afterwards, he went with his family to the Bao family's banquet.

After watching Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan take their oaths in front of the leader's portrait, Wen Zhuqing was escorted back to her room like a newlywed bride.

Bao Shanyan, on the other hand, stayed behind like a groom, eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing with the many guests.
