Chapter Ninety-Two: He Had Them All
Gu Qingheng completed his father’s request without much effort, fulfilling his duty honorably.
Of course, the Conservative faction’s self-destructive actions and the many loopholes in the internal cooperative relationship also contributed.
These were undoubtedly catalysts that accelerated the plan’s completion, allowing Gu Qingheng to easily explain the entire sequence of events to Gu Qing, who was stunned and watched his son, never imagining that gossip could be so powerful!
It was truly unimaginable!
However, with Gu Qingheng presenting the facts directly before him, Gu Qing had no choice but to believe, even if he didn’t want to.
Yet, the case being resolved so easily left Gu Qing with an unsettling feeling.
Gu Qingheng, however, didn’t feel the same way, believing his father was worrying unnecessarily.
As long as his sister and brother-in-law were there to support him, the Conservative faction couldn’t do anything even if they traced the origin. Besides, the Alliance’s intelligence network was not to be trifled with, how could they let these people find out?
As long as his father didn’t ‘self-destruct’, no one would know.
He had been busy helping his father for the past few days, neglecting Sister Lian several times. Now that everything was finally resolved, he could spend all his time with Sister Lian, traveling and enhancing their relationship.
After the Imperial examination results were announced, Sister Lian would have to return to the Tang Sect. He wondered if his brother-in-law had managed to elevate Sister Lian’s reputation… If successful, Sister Lian wouldn’t have to leave the next time she returned.
Of course, if he could achieve success in the Imperial examination quickly, he could directly have his father take the betrothal gifts to the Tang Sect.
Thinking of marrying Tang Lian in the future, Gu Qingheng’s heart felt as sweet as honey. So, after rushing to bid farewell to Gu Qing, he skipped off to find Sister Lian.
Watching this, Gu Qing couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, thinking his son was both precocious and childish.
However, his ability was not to be underestimated.
At such a young age, he could meticulously arrange everything and resolve matters perfectly. If he truly entered the government through the Imperial examination this time, his father wouldn’t have to worry about Gu Qingheng making mistakes in the imperial court.
Thinking about it carefully, Gu Qingheng had learned a lot from Gu Yu, and perhaps he had learned all of this from Gu Yu as well.
The Gu family only began to prosper after finding Gu Yu and the other two.
Therefore, Gu Qing was most fortunate in his life to have found his children and an excellent son-in-law!
Now that the conflict between the two factions had been decided, he no longer had to be entangled.
He could meet with his old friends and prevent any issues from arising in their relationships.
The days ahead were still long!
…
“A’Yu, you seem to be out quite often lately! Has something happened?”
One day, as Gu Yu was strolling through their garden with Gu Mengyao, Gu Mengyao suddenly asked curiously.
Usually, Gu Yu would stick to her side, but he was reluctant to go out… No matter how she thought about it, it made her very curious!
When Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s words, a helpless expression appeared on his face, not expecting Gu Mengyao to ask such a question.
He had been going out frequently recently because of his brother-in-law’s request.
Initially, when Gu Qingheng had approached him, Gu Yu had wanted to politely refuse.
But who could refuse when Gu Qingheng brought up their father-in-law… This left Gu Yu with no choice but to agree to become Gu Qingheng’s labor, helping to resolve some technical issues.
However, things were not that simple.
As the reputation of the Divine Doctor spread throughout the capital, countless nobles flocked to the Gu Residence, all hoping to have Gu Yu personally examine them.
Even for minor ailments like headaches or fevers, Gu Yu had to diagnose them.
If it were only like this, Gu Yu wouldn’t complain so much. The key was that their consultation fees were not high… They really treated him, Gu Yu, as a selfless altruist!
Gu Yu didn’t mind revealing his true nature when everyone described him as a great person dedicated to healing the world, as long as the consultation fees matched his status…
“It’s all Qingheng’s doing, but now that things are resolved, it’s not a problem. On the other hand, your belly is getting bigger day by day, and it pains me to even look at it!”
Thinking that he had pushed back all consultations recently, Gu Yu replied to Gu Mengyao with a smile, then placed a hand on Gu Mengyao’s belly, which was swelling like a balloon, his eyes filled with heartache.
Pregnant women worked very hard, especially Gu Mengyao, who was carrying twins.
Her belly was much larger than that of ordinary pregnant women, making Gu Yu wish he could directly make a wheelchair to push his little wife, in case her belly became too big and uncomfortable.
However, Gu Mengyao disagreed.
Her body was much healthier than that of an ordinary woman, yet Gu Yu treated her like a delicate flower. This made Gu Mengyao feel helpless, not knowing how to convince her husband.
Fortunately, Gu Mengyao’s objection was effective. Gu Yu did not force her to sit in a wheelchair, but he had to accompany her whenever she went out for a stroll.
Gu Mengyao immediately agreed, also wanting to go out with Gu Yu more often.
“It’s not even four months yet, and Auntie Fei said it will get even bigger later!”
“My heavens, it’s already so big that it worries me. If it gets any bigger, I don’t dare to look.”
Then, hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Holding Gu Yu’s hand, she felt the gentle breeze blowing, which put Gu Mengyao in a very good mood. She thought that no matter how tired she was from pregnancy, she wouldn’t complain.
Because the children growing in her belly were the crystallization of her and Gu Yu’s love.
“Don’t worry, I will give you a pair of lovely children.”
Gu Mengyao leaned her head against Gu Yu’s arm, causing Gu Yu’s lips to curl up involuntarily. He looked up at the blue sky with floating white clouds, his heart filled with joy.
“I am already the happiest person.”
Smiling, he leaned down to kiss Gu Mengyao’s forehead. Gu Yu recalled all the experiences he had gone through. Now, settling in the present, he felt that his luck was incredibly good.
A wife, children, a warm hearth, and a steady stream of wealth.
He had obtained them all.
As for power and status, Gu Yu’s ambitions were not very great. He would entrust everything to his brother-in-law in the future.
The Imperial examination results would be released soon, and from then on, it would depend on Gu Qingheng’s ability to achieve a meteoric rise.
With such excellent conditions, if he couldn’t seize them, his brother-in-law would be truly unlucky!
Of course, with his quiet support, even if Gu Qingheng was not capable, he would eventually become capable.
However, given Gu Qingheng’s abilities, this was just a precaution!
