890: Pirates

Pirates

"It is just a check-up on her pulse! He is just a doctor who is examining her for sickness…" Zhou Huaiyu was very annoyed. He just got so annoyed for no reason - he thought that Gu Chaoyan, who was already so sick, should not be so critical about other small things.2

That was why he did not like spending time with those ladies from noble families. He found them very annoying.

He met this woman back at Saint College a while ago, and he found her to be a very smart girl. He even paid special attention to her as well, but after he gave her the money, he had never met her again until now, and she was different from how he remembered.

Could it be because of the engagement?

Zhou Huaiyu was very annoyed.

Wuhen looked at him with a look of surprise. His Lord had been traveling about these years and he had met many different kinds of people and achieved quite a lot of successful business, but it was the first time for him to get so emotional.

She was Lord Huai's Princess Consort!

Wuhen did not think that it was a good sign, so he said, "Lord, just leave them alone. Lord Huai is taking care of everything, so you don't have to worry about this. Lord Huai knows what to do."

Wuhen did it to remind him. It was a very obvious thing, but it made Zhou Huaiyu feel even more annoyed.

Instead of sharing any more thoughts with Wuhen, he said directly, "Tell the kitchen and the boatman about what to do next."

Then he left timidly.

Wuhen threw a worried look at him, but still turned to the kitchen.

After puking, Gu Chaoyan felt slightly better, but Zhou Huaijin was still frowning as he looked at her with deep concern.

"Sword One, can you check if the food in the kitchen is ready." Zhou Huaijin stressed without patience.

Sword One nodded.

She was about to leave, but at that moment, a bump hit the boat, and Zhou Huaijin took hold of Gu Chaoyan directly. They wondered what was going on.

Sword One ran out to check what was happening.

The boat should be in a good condition. It wasn't an ordinary boat, but a big one for Shadow Door to transport stuff. So what was going on?

Sword One came back after a short while, sounding a little anxious. "Lord, it is the pirates. They have blocked our way. They seem very prepared. They must be feeding on robbing people and stuff from the passing boats. Lord Yu is negotiating with them outside, but the pirates are normally in groups, so the number outside can not be all of them. We are still talking."

Zhou Huaijin frowned.

pirates?

Zhou Huaijin would not be too angry about running into people like this normally, but now Chaoyan was not feeling well and they needed to get on the bank as soon as possible. They had no time to waste.

So Zhou Huaijin looked really furious.

The pirates normally robbed ordinary businessmen's boats, and those businessmen, who did not dare to do anything, had to pay. They liked bullying, and they were getting rather wild nowadays.

Zhou Huaijin was definitely going to teach them a lesson.

"Sword One, guard your Miss, I will check it out," Zhou Huaijin said with a cold expression on his face.

He whispered some consolation words to Gu Chaoyan and then left.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin appear, Zhou Huaiyu said, "Nothing serious, those pirates just want some treasure."
