Chapter 3: A Good Son-in-Law
Unlike his hesitation before, Gu Yu, now adept at holding babies, walked proudly along the small path of Heavenly Dragon Temple, feeling an inexhaustible supply of energy.
This made Gu Mengyao walking beside him smile, surprised that her little husband was so easily satisfied.
Just knowing how to hold a baby made him so happy.
Others called Gu Yu an insatiable black hole, but they didn’t know that in front of the person he loved, he was just an adorable man who was easily satisfied.
Gu Mengyao had plenty of say in this matter.
However, she would never tell anyone!
Such a good little husband could only be hers alone, and no one else could snatch him away!
Of course, even if others wanted to snatch him, they couldn’t.
“Mengyao, what’s going on with Gu Yu? The carriage you were in caused quite a commotion on the road. When I heard my grandchildren crying, I was almost scared to death.”
Gu Qing, who was strolling leisurely behind them, seeing Gu Yu stride with smugness and looking extremely exhilarated, immediately walked forward curiously to ask Gu Mengyao, wondering what was up with his son-in-law.
Before they set off, Gu Yu wasn’t as smug as he was now; something must have happened on the way.
Because Gu Yu had married into the family, the children born to him and Gu Mengyao would naturally be Gu Qing’s grandchildren, making him even more concerned.
However, no matter how Gu Qing thought about it, he couldn’t imagine… the commotion in the carriage was just the helplessness of a new dad.
“Father, please don’t worry unnecessarily. Ah Yu and the children were just playing. They accidentally got carried away, but the children are fine.”
Hearing Gu Qing’s question, Gu Mengyao shook her head helplessly. Then, she slowed her pace, falling a few steps behind Gu Yu, and spoke.
If her father knew the real reason, he would probably laugh at Gu Yu, and Gu Mengyao didn’t want that to happen.
Didn’t her little husband care about his reputation!
Gu Qing was clearly not satisfied with Gu Mengyao’s answer and had the urge to get to the bottom of it. But before he could open his mouth, Gongsun Feifei on the side directly tugged Gu Qing’s sleeve, signaling him not to ask further.
Looking at Gu Mengyao, it was clear that this was a matter between the young couple, and asking too many questions would only lead to annoyance.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Yu was just a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, in the eyes of Gu Qing and Gongsun Feifei, he was a good match for Gu Mengyao.
It was impossible to find a man like Gu Yu anywhere in Linfeng Kingdom!
Only Gu Yu could be worthy of Gu Mengyao.
A while ago, many people had come to their door, implicitly or explicitly saying that Gu Yu’s background was not good and that he was not worthy of Gu Mengyao… With Gu Mengyao’s current achievements, she could completely divorce Gu Yu and find a better man in the capital.
A good man whose background, appearance, and family status could match the Gu family.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing, who had been smiling, immediately put on a cold face. He didn’t say much more and directly instructed the butler serving at his side to see the guests out and not to let them enter the Gu Residence again.
Seeing Gu Qing’s decisive and swift attitude immediately silenced those who still wanted to speak ill of Gu Yu. They knew that Gu Yu was a treasure in Gu Qing’s eyes, and he would never give him up for a few words.
In fact, anyone would not let go of such a good son-in-law who married into the family… But the Gu family was already so powerful, how could even a son-in-law who married into the family be so formidable.
Not to mention Gu Yu’s amazing medical skills, just by leaping up and directly becoming the richest man in the capital had already made many people secretly grit their teeth, wishing they could replace him and become the richest person in the capital.
However, this was only something they could dream of.
In reality, only Gu Yu was the richest man.
And such a man, who was actually an unpresentable son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, made many people uncomfortable, thinking that they couldn’t even compare to a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, which was too shameful.
If Gu Yu knew about these thoughts, his lips would surely curl into a mocking smile.
Did he, Gu Yu, need these people to worry about how he conducted himself?
He liked being a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, so what? He wasn’t eating anyone else’s rice.
They were really too nosy.
With Gu Qing’s strong protection of his son-in-law, some people’s schemes did not succeed, but this did not prevent them from spreading negative information about Gu Yu, and Gu Mengyao was not spared.
This was also the gossip Gu Mengyao had heard before her delivery… To ensure that Gu Mengyao heard it, some malicious people had deliberately spent money to bribe a maid in the Gu Residence, telling her to mention it to Gu Mengyao whenever she had the chance.
It was said that Gu Yu cherished his wife the most, and Gu Mengyao was pregnant and couldn’t do anything else.
She also thought a lot.
If she got angry and something happened, then the subsequent development would be interesting.
However, the expected development did not occur.
Gu Yu quickly quelled the rumors with very strong methods. After the news of Gu Mengyao’s successful delivery spread, it made some people sigh in secret, thinking that Gu Mengyao was quite shrewd, not panicking even after hearing such rumors.
It was just that the previously bribed maid, after being targeted by Gu Yu, due to extreme fear, directly exposed some clues.
This was immediately noticed by the people who were specifically watching her, who reported it to Gu Yu. Then, on the day of Gu Mengyao’s delivery, they interrogated the maid and obtained the truth of the matter.
Gu Yu did not kill anyone. He just had the butler of the residence bring in a slave trader to sell off this ungrateful maid.
The butler, after knowing the whole story, broke out in a cold sweat. After dealing with the maid’s matter, he immediately gathered the servants in the residence and scared them for a long time.
Gu Yu did not tell Gu Mengyao about such a small matter. He did not want to and was unwilling to let his little wife know about these disgusting things.
“Mengyao, the baby is crying again, and won’t stop.”
By the time Gu Yu and his entourage finally arrived at the entrance of Heavenly Dragon Temple, the two little treasures Gu Yu was holding in his arms, as if sensing something, began to cry loudly in his arms.
The loud sound hurt Gu Yu’s ears.
But no matter how he coaxed them, he couldn’t pacify them.
This made Gu Mengyao also step forward with some concern. After taking one child, she coaxed them, but the children’s crying did not stop.
This made the group immediately worried, thinking that perhaps the temple had a clash with the children!
“Benefactors, what brings you to Heavenly Dragon Temple today?”
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded, and the crying of the children also stopped abruptly.
