Chapter 818: A Pair of Murderous Eyes

When it came time to sleep at night, the moment Wang An took off his clothes, Mu Xueqing's expression changed.

Mu Xueqing's pretty little nose twitched. First, she frowned in thought, and then she stared at Wang An with a face full of severity, as if she wanted to hack him into a thousand pieces with her eyes.

Seeing Mu Xueqing's movements and expression, Wang An knew immediately that because he had been fooling around with Sun Nian, he was carrying her scent on his body.

But the most mysterious part was: how did Mu Xueqing smell it?

One had to realize that more than ten hours had passed since Wang An had parted ways with Sun Nian that morning.

Furthermore, during that time, Wang An had been either driving or working; he had basically never been idle. Moreover, in this season, people generally dressed very thinly.

Most importantly, Wang An smoked, and his body usually carried the smell of tobacco oil.

So, logically speaking, whatever scent of Sun Nian was on him should have vanished long ago.

But looking at Mu Xueqing now, she had clearly smelled something off.

Looking into Mu Xueqing's murderous eyes, Wang An suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Damn, he was touching Mu Xueqing's bottom line time and time again. To be perfectly honest, if Wang An were Mu Xueqing, this marriage would have been thrown in the trash long ago!!

Just go play with yourself! Who's to say anyone couldn't survive without the other?

What kept Wang An wondering, however, was how Mu Xueqing's nose could be so powerful? She could practically go toe-to-toe with Da Hei's nose.

He had to note that every time he fooled around with other women, it was always because of the scent that things were exposed. This was truly a nightmare!

Before Mu Xueqing could explode, Wang An took the initiative to say in a humble, subservient tone

"Wife, there's something I need to explain to you."

Hearing this, Mu Xueqing's expression remained unchanged. She continued to look at Wang An with murderous eyes, as if at the slightest mistake, those exceptionally beautiful large eyeballs of hers would fly out of their sockets like bullets and shoot him dead.

Just say what you have to say. At this moment, Mu Xueqing was absolutely radiating killing intent.

Wang An struggled to organize his words, mainly trying to keep his eyes from darting around, because he had discovered that as long as he acted open and honest, Mu Xueqing generally wouldn't get angry.

Then, Wang An stammered

"Wife, it's like this. I was feeling restless and uncomfortable, so I went to look for Fang Xiu'e. Who would have thought that woman had actually gone to the countryside? So I wandered around thinking of finding Brother Wu, wanting to help Xueli buy back that hand-tractor, and who knew I'd run into Sun Nian..."

Following that, Wang An didn't lie and recounted the events in full.

Of course, the words Wang An spoke were certainly processed.

He mainly focused on the fact that Sun Xianghuo had been removed from his post for investigation and described Sun Nian's miserable current situation. As for the part where he fooled around with Sun Nian, Wang An only mentioned it lightly—to be precise, he glossed over it.

After finishing his story, Wang An gazed at Mu Xueqing with a face full of deep affection, as if his fooling around with Sun Nian was something he had no control over and for which he bore absolutely no responsibility.

It had to be said that in terms of acting and playing the fool, Wang An was absolutely gifted.

In any case, after Wang An finished speaking, the killing intent had vanished from Mu Xueqing's eyes. She even asked with a face full of concern

"Will Sun Nian's father still have his old accounts settled against him?"

Sure enough, women are emotional. Regarding a woman as beautiful as herself, Mu Xueqing still felt concerned for Sun Nian.

Of course, it was also possible that Mu Xueqing had simply given up on "treating" Wang An—meaning she had just let him be, thinking *whatever the hell happens, happens*.

After all, Mu Xueqing understood what a piece of scum Wang An was. This man always spoke beautifully, yet he repeatedly failed to do the right thing.

But regardless, when it came to the Gu family, Wang An had to be said to be quite decent and dutiful.

Furthermore, the financial power of the household was held by Mu Xueqing, which made her feel content.

Generally speaking, since she couldn't change Wang An, Mu Xueqing could only change her own mindset.

After all, although marriage freedom was being promoted at this time, divorce was still a very rare occurrence.

Hearing Mu Xueqing's question, Wang An subconsciously pondered. Combining it with the phone call Sun Nian had received that morning, Wang An suddenly realized that whether it was Sun Xianghuo or Sun Nian, they really might encounter big trouble.

In this era, what was a guarantee?

Thinking of this, Wang An said with a solemn face

"I reckon they will. When Sun Nian's father was in power, he definitely offended plenty of people. Now that he's stepped down, won't people want revenge?"

Hearing this, Mu Xueqing immediately said with some anxiety

"Then don't Big Sister and Brother Wu have any good way to help? Their relationship is so good, they can't just stand by and watch, can they?"

Wang An shook his head and said

"Big Sister definitely will, but I'm not so sure about Brother Wu and the others."

Hearing this, Mu Xueqing asked in surprise

"Why is that?"

Then, Wang An explained the reasons and briefly mentioned the matter regarding Shang Tianbao, leaving Mu Xueqing completely perplexed.

Mu Xueqing knit her pretty little brows and fell into deep thought.

They were clearly very good friends, yet problems arose just like that. The key was that the people causing the problems were the parents' generation, which was truly frustrating.

To be honest, regarding these issues of political stance, Wang An only had a superficial understanding. Mainly, since he had never been an official, how could he know the intricacies involved?

Just like that, under Wang An's manipulation, he successfully diverted Mu Xueqing's attention. Until the two fell asleep, Mu Xueqing never mentioned Wang An's cheating again.

Unknowingly, several more days passed.

During these days, the main house and the side rooms of Wang An's home were all tiled and roofed.

Additionally, the deer shed, sheep pen, pigsty, and the傻狍子 (roe deer) pen were all completed.

The reason it was so fast was that building shelters for livestock is a very simple task.

The livestock shelters at Wang An's house all followed a unified construction standard.

All the pens had a span of only five meters. There were no ring beams; they simply used logs 30 centimeters in diameter as the front crossbeams. There were no rear crossbeams because the frames were built directly onto the solid walls.

Moreover, the frames were quite low. For a livestock pen, you only need enough height so that a person doesn't hit their head when entering; a height of 2 meters was completely sufficient.

They didn't even need to dig foundations; they could just lay stones and build with bricks.

In short, building livestock shelters was essentially just constructing a simple house for the animals to shield them from the wind and rain.
