Chapter 776: Chapter 777 You damn..._1

"My wife’s head is now completely stuffed with paste, so she can’t hear what anyone else says, and naturally, she won’t believe it. That’s why I wanted you to knock her out."

After a pause, Gong Juechen continued, "If she weren’t so beautiful, it wouldn’t matter if she knelt to death. But how could someone as beautiful as she is kneel to death? Whether by kneeling or any other way, she can’t die. If she died, where would I find another wife as beautiful as her?!"

"...I can’t be bothered with you. Do as you please. My husband and I are going to cook."

It was almost dark, time to prepare food indeed, and An Jing really didn’t feel like dealing with Gong Juechen anymore, so she got up and went with Xiao Changyi, leading their four children to the kitchen to cook.

The four children were still very young and afraid of the dark, so as soon as they entered the kitchen, Xiao Changyi lit the wall-mounted oil lamp in advance, regardless of whether it was dark outside or not.

Lanterns hung in the corridors, to be lit after they had dinner and took the children back to their rooms, to prevent the children from being unnecessarily frightened by the dark.

All the chaos outside had nothing to do with them. An Jing and Xiao Changyi were simply cooking while looking after their four children. The atmosphere in the kitchen was indescribably warm, beautiful, and happy.

Outside the kitchen, in the courtyard, Gong Juechen was watching Wild Goose Jade, stroking his chin, pondering how to knock her out.

Once he had an idea, he went to the woodshed and found a rather thick stick, then made a motion as if to strike Wild Goose Jade.

But, unfortunately for him, he still couldn’t get close to Wild Goose Jade before he was stopped by Meng Zhuqing, who not only kept him from approaching Wild Goose Jade but also took away the stick in his hand.

"What are you doing?!" Gong Juechen angrily expressed his dissatisfaction toward Meng Zhuqing.

Meng Zhuqing replied, "Shouldn’t it be me asking you that question?"

Gong Juechen immediately laughed, "I wasn’t really going to do anything, just planning to knock Jade Jade out. Once she’s knocked out, she won’t be able to continue kneeling here."

Meng Zhuqing disagreed completely, "With this stick?"

"I don’t know Martial Arts, and I can’t knock people out with a lift of my hand like you." Gong Juechen first complained, then smiled again, "I am a doctor, I know where to hit to not cause injury but still easily knock someone out. This stick is really quite suitable, just let me do it?"

As he was talking, Gong Juechen tried to take the stick from Meng Zhuqing’s hand, but just as he reached out, Meng Zhuqing raised the stick and brought it down hard on the back of his neck.

Before passing out, the only thought in Gong Juechen’s mind was: It’s Jade Jade who’s supposed to be hit, not me, damn you...

After Meng Zhuqing knocked out Gong Juechen, he threw away the stick he was holding, and just as he did so, he heard—

"Thank you." Wild Goose Jade finally spoke to him again.

Just those two words of thanks.

It must have been for knocking out Gong Juechen again, bringing quiet to her world.

Meng Zhuqing was somewhat taken aback and couldn’t speak smoothly, "No... no, no need to thank me. Don’t you want... want to get up? My master really doesn’t take disciples."

Wild Goose Jade stopped talking again, continuing to kneel there, which quite clearly meant: she wouldn’t get up; she intended to keep kneeling; she truly didn’t believe Xiao Changyi wouldn’t take disciples.

Seeing Wild Goose Jade persist, Meng Zhuqing said nothing more and let her continue kneeling there.

Wild Goose Jade remained kneeling for two days. She could still sit up straight the first day, but by the second day, her body, not yet recovered, could no longer support her kneeling posture, and she slumped.
