Chapter 218 The Thief Cries Out to Catch the Thief
Wu Xiyuan blinked at her. And then Su Jiuyue turned back to the court and heard Wang Guangxian, who sat in the court, asking, "Oh? Who are you?"
Wu Xiyuan bowed and introduced himself, "I am Miss Su's husband. And I am now studying at the Haoyuan Institute."
Once he heard that he was studying at Haoyuan Institute, Wang Guangxian's attitude was corrected and he was not as casual as before.
Haoyuan Institute was one of the best academies in the north, which could be compared to the Imperial College.
Every year, there were many people from Haoyuan Institute who were admitted to the examination. If this man was a student of Haoyuan Institute, then maybe he would be his colleague in the future!
"In that case, come with me to the back hall."
Wang Guangxian served the couple good tea, not letting Su Jiuyue feel the official attitude in him from the beginning to the end.
He also talked to Wu Xiyuan about the recent situation in the north, saying that he felt that Hu people were so insecure nowadays. And he was afraid that the government would openly select the best warrior again.
Wu Xiyuan did not know martial arts. But the best warrior ... According to his former memory, it should be three years later.
After hearing Wang Guangxian's words, he could not take a position. He only said a few words hoping that the country would be peaceful.
The painting was quickly painted. Wang Guangxian asked people to take the paint to find the boy.
Government officials naturally have their own way to find people. They went to the tavern and gambling house first and found the thief in the gambling house.
But when they found the thief, he did not admit it.
The money bag had long been thrown away by him, and the silver money inside was minted by the government, so how could the money be distinguished?
The official could only make the arrest when they found both the suspect and the evidence. Now, they didn't have solid evidence, so Wang Guangxian couldn't help them even if he wanted to.
Su Jiuyue followed Wu Xiyuan to the inn. Just when Wu Xiyuan closed the door, he turned around and saw her sitting on a stool crying.
Wu Xiyuan was afraid of seeing her tears. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped her tears.
"Sweetheart, what are you crying for? It's just a little bit of money lost. When I pass the exam next month, I'll get my monthly salary. I'll give you all the money I get then."
Su Jiuyue was very self-conscious, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help but look at him, "How do you know you'll pass the exam?"
It was not that she didn't trust her man. It was just that there were very few people who could pass in one go.
Wu Xiyuan took her hand and placed it on his chest, whispering, "I just know. You are responsible for trusting m. And I will definitely let you live a good life in the future. When the time comes, I will give you all my monthly salary. We will buy a maid to serve you and mother."
Hearing his words, Su Jiuyue stopped crying, "There is no need to buy any maid. What a waste of money."
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Wu Xiyuan patted her hand, "Good girl, don't think about that. Isn't there still the eight hundred taels from Prince Mu?"
Su Jiuyue was still a bit sullen, "But it's obvious that he stole it. How can we just let him get away with it?"
Wu Xiyuan already had an idea in mind. But there were things he could not say to his good wife.
Therefore, he said, "Master Wang has already asked people to keep an eye on him. According to his mode, he should be a regular thief. So, we just wait for the next time he does it, we will catch him with the stolen goods!"
Su Jiuyue felt better, "That's the way it should be."
.
Su Jiuyue slept soundly in Wu Xiyuan's arms this night. But the next morning Wu Xiyuan had to go to his morning class.
Although she was a bit reluctant, she knew that he was doing it for his studies and she could not delay him.
She got up and helped him get dressed, and asked the waiter to bring hot water over.
Only when Wu Xiyuan was ready to go out, she called out to him.
"Xiyuan."
Wu Xiyuan looked back at her and saw her squeezing her hand and flattening her mouth, "You... You said that you will have only one wife. Me. If there are any other girls, Miss Guo or Miss Li, to come to you again, you have to stay away from them."
Wu Xiyuan laughed and reached out his finger to gently point at the tip of her nose, "I know, my little jealous girl. You can rest assured that my heart is all yours."
Su Jiuyue reluctantly watched him leave the door before whispering, "Me too."
Wu Xiyuan looked back at her and suddenly experienced the feeling of those faint rulers who did not want to go to court.
But he was ruthlessly cut off the idea when it had only just risen.
She treated him this way, he had to work harder.
Fortunately, Young Master Wang did not have any bad intentions. Otherwise, he was only a scholar. How could he protect his beautiful wife?
Not long after Wu Xiyuan left, Su Jiuyue went to the Haoyuan Institute to take back her horse and left Yongzhou City.
After Wu Xiyuan had his morning class, he took another half day off in the afternoon.
This afternoon he dressed himself up a little and went straight to the casino where Xiao Liu used to go.
He wanted to teach him a lesson that he couldn't get any of the things he shouldn't take!
He found Xiao Liu, who was sitting at a table playing horse hanger. Wu Xiyuan stood by and waited for a long time, one person lost all his chips and left.
He immediately sat down on the side and took a deep look at Xiao Liu who was sitting opposite him.
He snorted coldly in his heart. At such a young age, the boy should do something decent. But the boy came to play this game, so don't blame him for teaching the boy a lesson.
In the first round, Wu Xiyuan lost. In the second round, he lost again...
He lost five rounds in a row... And Xiao Liu earned six taels and became very proud of himself.
Wu Xiyuan pretended to be reluctant to take out one tael of silver from his pocket and put it on the table.
"There's still one last tael, I'll bet it all in!"
Xiao Liu also wanted to play a big game and followed him to place a bet. But he didn't expect this time to be different from the previous rounds.
Wu Xiyuan's winning by his own draw made him dumbfounded.
However, he followed up with a series of winning by his own draw. Not only did he win back all the money he had lost, but he also made a lot of money.
Xiao Liu was immediately displeased and directly lifted the table, "You cheat!"
Wu Xiyuan sneered. He sat on the chair and did not move. Looking at the agitated Xiao Liu, he mocked, "If you can't afford to lose, you should admit. Why do you accuse others of cheating?"
"If you did not cheat, how could you win by your own draw every time?"
"Every dog has its day. Haven't you heard? You are only allowed to win money in a row, but not others? How can there be such a reason under heaven?"
The two of them got into an argument here and soon attracted people who were watching the game.
Xiao Liu said that Wu Xiyuan was cheating, and Wu Xiyuan cooperated with the casino staff to do a check. They found that he had no hidden cards on him.
At this time, Wu Xiyuan pointed at Xiao Liu and said, "I think the person who cries out to catch the thief is the real thief, right?"
