Chapter 41

Qin Muye gave her a few more instructions before turning and leaving.

Jiang Muning stood there, watching him leave before turning back to the house.

Gu Manli stared at them, her nails digging into her flesh.

“Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Gu Qingluo pulled her hand.

Gu Manli retracted her gaze, she forced a smile: “I just think Captain Qin and his wife are quite a good match.”

“What kind of match, that wild girl, besides being pretty, what else is good about her? Captain Qin isn’t a superficial person, if he wasn’t forced by his family, he wouldn’t have married her.” Gu Qingluo said angrily.

She was the one who was most optimistic about Qin Muye becoming her brother-in-law, she didn’t expect Jiang Muning to appear out of nowhere.

Seeing Gu Manli’s gloomy mood these past few days, she hated that country girl, Jiang Muning.

Gu Manli said bitterly: “It’s no use talking about this now, Captain Qin is already married.”

“Sister, don’t give up, how can that wild girl compare to you.” Gu Qingluo comforted her. “I’m sure it won’t be long before Captain Qin divorces her and marries you.”

Gu Manli smiled faintly: “Don’t talk nonsense, if someone else hears you, they might accuse me of breaking up a military marriage. Then, I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have a mouth. Okay, I should be leaving too.”

Gu Manli said, she turned around dejectedly.

Seeing her sister unhappy, Gu Qingluo stomped her foot fiercely.

“Sister is right, it’s not good if people talk about it, it’s best if that Jiang Muning just goes away.” Gu Qingluo thought thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Gu Qingluo’s head. Then she turned around and ran home quickly.

After Qin Muye left, the house was very quiet.

Her dysmenorrhea had gotten much better today, after taking the chaste tree berry granules, she didn’t feel much pain.

After working in the space for a while, Jiang Muning returned to the real world and prepared to sleep.

Lying in bed, Jiang Muning looked at the ceiling, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

“Strange, could it be that I’m not used to being alone after having someone around me every day?” Jiang Muning muttered.

She turned off the light, Jiang Muning wanted to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep. Especially when she lay on her side, there was still the lingering scent of Qin Muye on the pillow.

Jiang Muning covered her head and shook it vigorously: “I can’t let myself fall into love.”

Time ticked by, it was unknowingly midnight.

Just as she was trying to sleep, she suddenly heard a sound outside the door, Jiang Muning’s eyes snapped open.

What sound?

Jiang Muning pricked up her ears and listened carefully, she heard a noise in the quiet night.

Seeing this, Jiang Muning lifted the covers and got up, she walked towards the door in the moonlight.

She gently pushed open the door, her position was just right to see the yard.

She saw a dark figure struggling to climb over the wall. The figure was small and not very strong.

The figure struggled to climb over the wall, then, as if he had a fierce mental struggle, he carefully jumped down from the wall.

Seeing this, Jiang Muning frowned. She didn’t know what the other person was trying to do, she looked at the room, then quietly picked up the wooden stick that was placed next to her.

She gripped the stick tightly with her five fingers, Jiang Muning’s heart pounded.

The figure successfully entered the yard, she saw him adjust his clothes, then he walked towards the room where she was.

Jiang Muning immediately found a place to hide, quietly concealing herself.

The figure quietly came to the door and carefully pushed it open.

In the moonlight, a figure wearing a white robe, with disheveled hair, appeared like a ghost.

The figure looked at the direction of the bed and muttered softly: “I’ll scare you to death.”

Jiang Muning, in the darkness, heard the voice, her eyes flashed with surprise: Gu Qingluo?

As she had guessed, the person pretending to be a ghost was Gu Qingluo.

Seeing Gu Manli’s sadness because of Jiang Muning, she decided to teach Jiang Muning a lesson.

So she decided to scare her while Jiang Muning was away.

If she could scare her away from the island, that would be even better.

She stretched her neck, Gu Qingluo pulled all her hair to the front, lowered her head, like a ghostly figure of death, she walked towards the bed.

“Give me your life, give me your life…” Gu Qingluo lowered her voice, she dragged out the sound, making it sound eerie.

Gu Qingluo called out for a long time, but she saw that the person on the bed didn’t move at all.

“Sleeping so soundly?”

Seeing this, Gu Qingluo lifted the covers, wanting to give the other person a close-up attack.

The covers were lifted, but there was no figure on the bed.

“Strange, where did she go?” Gu Qingluo muttered curiously, she was just about to turn around when she saw Jiang Muning suddenly standing silently behind her.

The ghost-playing Gu Qingluo was startled.

It was because Jiang Muning was holding a wooden stick high, the moment she turned around, she swung it directly at her.

“Bang!” The sound of the stick hitting her head.

“Ah!!!”

A scream echoed through the family compound.

Jiang Muning held the stick, bang bang bang, she didn’t hesitate to hit Gu Qingluo, but she avoided vital points.

“Help! Help!”

The neighbors in the family compound heard the shrill scream and came over, the family compound, which had already fallen asleep, instantly became bright.

“What happened?” The neighbors around came over, worried neighbors even climbed over the wall and entered Jiang Muning’s house.

Gu Qingluo ran to the yard, as the neighbors came over with flashlights, the yard instantly became bright.

Seeing someone coming, Gu Qingluo instantly saw a lifeline, she ran towards the crowd.

“Murder! Murder!” Gu Qingluo hugged the arm of one of them and cried.

“Sister Muning, what happened?” Deng Cuiping quickly came to Jiang Muning’s side.

Jiang Muning held the stick, her eyes were filled with terror as she said: “I was sleeping and heard a noise, so I got up, I thought there was a thief in my house.”

Seeing her frightened appearance, Deng Cuiping comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, there are so many of us here, the thief can’t escape.”

As she spoke, everyone pointed their flashlights at the beaten white figure.

When the beams of light all hit Gu Qingluo, everyone was startled: “My god, what a ghost.”

“You are, Qingluo?” Deng Cuiping recognized her first. “Why are you dressed like this?”

At this moment, in front of everyone, Gu Qingluo was wearing a white robe, her hair was disheveled, her face was painted white with paint, and the red paint looked even more creepy, just like a ghost.

“I…” Gu Qingluo was beaten black and blue, she wanted to explain but she couldn’t speak.

Jiang Muning clutched the stick tightly, as if she was scared: “Such a scary ghost, sister-in-law, is she a human?”

“She’s a human, she’s the daughter of the military commander, Gu Qingluo.” Liu Mei explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Muning opened her eyes: “The military commander’s daughter? Why is she dressed like this in the middle of the night, breaking into my house? She wouldn’t be trying to scare me to death, would she?”
