On the Day of the Grand Wedding, My Wife Was Acting Strange - Chapter 46:
Chapter 46: Last Time You Wet Yourself, This Time I’ll Scare You into Diarrhea!
When Lin Zhen arrived at the casino, the soldiers of the Huben Camp had already moved all the silver into the backyard of the neighboring medical hall.
The wall had also been rebuilt, leaving no trace from the outside.
Lin Zhen couldn’t help but marvel.
Truly a ferocious army—over a hundred tons of treasure moved overnight. If it had been five hundred of him, it would have taken half a month.
Zhang Li hadn’t slept all night, only returning to her room to rest after personally overseeing the entire operation.
At this moment, Lin Zhen sat leisurely in the courtyard, sipping tea. Cao Xiong climbed over the wall from the medical hall, his legs trembling as he landed.
He cautiously approached Lin Zhen and stammered, “Young master… this is an enormous amount of money. Does the prince know?”
“Of course not! You must remember, don’t ever tell the old man, or we’re all finished.”
“Finished? Young master, what are you planning?”
“Don’t ask. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I won’t treat you badly.”
As he spoke, Lin Zhen took out a large silver ingot from his robe—it was something he had casually pocketed while inspecting the stash next door, weighing at least ten taels!
That was half a year’s military pay for Cao Xiong!
He quickly accepted it with both hands but hesitated, “Thank you, young master… but there were five hundred of our brothers working yesterday too. You…”
“I’ll have Li’er give each brother who helped move the silver yesterday five taels of silver. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, young master! Hahaha, old Cao will definitely give his all for the young master from now on. Let’s do it!”
The two were chatting in the backyard, unaware that a luxurious carriage had stopped at the casino entrance.
The carriage was extremely lavish, made from rare purple sandalwood, its grain flowing like water and shining with a noble purple glow under the sun.
The body was inlaid with various gemstones—rubies like blood, sapphires like the sea, emeralds like fresh spring leaves—all arranged in a harmonious pattern.
To Gu Beichen, it was just an ordinary carriage, but to commoners, it was a fortune they couldn’t earn in ten lifetimes.
Whether peasants or merchants, everyone kept their distance, casting envious glances from afar.
Xiao Cui lifted the curtain, poking out her little head, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd.
“Whose noble lady is that?”
“That carriage looks like it belongs to the Gu family! No wonder it’s so extravagant!”
“That woman is so lucky. Why can’t I ever ride in such a carriage?”
“So envious, to be a guest of the Gu family!”
Feeling the admiration, Xiao Cui proudly raised her head like a swan, more determined than ever to stay by Gu Beichen’s side.
With him, she would be the happiest woman in the world.
She must keep herself pure and never allow Lin Zhen, that poor loser, to have any advantage.
As for San Bengzi the gatekeeper, if he dared look at her chest again, she’d gouge out his eyes!
Hmph!
She was the young madam of the Gu family!
Gu Beichen had no idea what Xiao Cui was thinking. He chose a spot with a good view and told the coachman to stop the carriage. Then he jumped down and said to her, “Xiao Cui, stay in the carriage and watch the show later.”
“Young master Gu, I just remembered something.”
“Go on.”
“The Huben Camp suddenly entered the city. Miss suspects something major is about to happen.”
Gu Beichen smiled confidently. He had known this since last night.
“I knew already. They’re just switching posts with the Longxiang Camp. Nothing serious. Sit tight in the carriage and watch how I tear Lin Zhen apart!”
“Understood… Gu Lang…”
Hearing her call him Gu Lang, Gu Beichen showed a domineering smile.
He was just that outstanding—everyone loved him. Unlike Lin Zhen, whose face screamed ‘punch me,’ annoying everyone he met.
“Good girl~”
That ‘good girl’ almost melted Xiao Cui’s bones as she shyly hid back in the carriage.
Gu Beichen walked to the casino entrance. Looking back, he saw Mao Mengji leading the White Robe Cavalry, arriving slowly.
There were about five hundred men, all private soldiers of the Grand Chancellor’s mansion, accompanied by livestock and ox carts, marching grandly from the street entrance, creating quite a scene.
The townsfolk pointed and whispered.
“Look, it’s the White Robe Cavalry!”
“Why are they here again?”
“Didn’t they learn their lesson? After just a few days, they dare come looking for trouble at the Hero Casino again?”
“Forget them, even the young master of the Gu family pissed himself last time when facing the young master of the Lin family!”
“What Heaven’s Favorite? He reeks of filth! Might as well call him Heaven’s Filthy Trash.”
The words made Gu Beichen’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He wanted to tear their tongues out.
First, the White Robe Cavalry was beaten to a pulp by the Patrol Division. Then he himself had publicly wet his pants.
All these humiliations could only be washed away with Lin Zhen’s blood.
He clenched his fists, determined to thoroughly humiliate Lin Zhen today.
Mao Mengji, still dizzy from his last beating, led the troops himself this time. He approached Gu Beichen and said, “Young master.”
“Is everything ready?”
“Rest assured, young master, a hundred ox carts are all prepared!”
“Good, follow me inside.”
Gu Beichen pushed open the doors of the Hero Casino. The first thing he saw was Lin Zhen’s irritating face.
“Right on time,” Lin Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a domineering aura.
Gu Beichen sneered confidently, “Lin Zhen, today I’ll make you cry!”
“Really?” Lin Zhen sneered disdainfully, grinning widely, “A loser who wet his pants dares to act tough? Aren’t you afraid I’ll scare you into diarrhea today?”
“Silence! Lin Zhen, you claim to be from one of the top noble families of the Great Qian Nation, yet your words are so vulgar. Did Lin Zhenxian teach you this?”
“You shut up! Gu Beichen, do you think you can call Lin Zhenxian by name? You incestuous bastard, kneel and apologize!”
In later times, incest referred to improper relationships between relatives.
But in ancient times, people followed the Three Bonds and Five Constants—ruler to subject, father to son, husband to wife. These defined the hierarchy of ethics.
If someone disrespected their superior, like a minister offending the emperor, a son defying his father, or a wife opposing her husband, that was called violating ethics.
Thus, Lin Zhen used these words to disgust Gu Beichen without any fault.
Gu Beichen unknowingly took a jab and felt uncomfortable, “You sharp-tongued dog. I won’t argue with you today. I’m here to collect things.”
“And what if I don’t let you?”
“Lin Zhen, don’t push your luck! You promised the emperor you’d let us collect the items at noon today. Are you going to go back on your word?”
“I never said I would. I just want to know what you plan to take.”
Seeing Lin Zhen’s tone soften, Gu Beichen laughed arrogantly, thinking he had already won.
“Hahaha, how could I tell you that?” Gu Beichen waved his hand, and the hundreds of White Robe Cavalry stormed into the casino, while servants prepared the ox carts.
Gu Beichen approached Lin Zhen, almost nose-to-nose, “Lin Zhen, today I will make you kneel and beg me!”
Seeing Gu Beichen so full of himself, Lin Zhen found it amusing.
Poor thing, you have no idea, do you?
Your treasures are already mine!
