Chapter 47: I don’t want to see my sister become a widow
With Xi Yang’s help, retrieving money from the Wang Clan that evening became incredibly smooth. Gu Yu didn’t have to exert much effort to stuff all the recently accumulated silver from the Wang Clan into his space.
In truth, the Wang Clan was truly unlucky to have provoked Gu Yu!
If it had been anyone else besides Gu Yu, it wouldn’t have been a major difficulty for the Wang Clan to catch the person.
After all, the Wang Clan was not weak. How could they not even catch someone who was constantly stealing money!
However, Gu Yu was truly beyond their expectations.
The Wang Clan already suspected Gu Yu was the thief, but they lacked concrete evidence to prove that Gu Yu was the one who stole the money!
Therefore, they had to catch him red-handed to completely resolve the issue with Gu Yu.
But Gu Yu possessed a magical space. Whether it was during the process of taking the money or storing the silver into his space, the Wang Clan had no way of finding out at all.
As for making a move against Gu Yu… Previously, when the Gu family members went to Lianzhou to meet with the Tang Sect, the Wang Clan sent quite a few assassins, but they were all killed by the Gu family, resulting in heavy losses.
So, they were now afraid to make a move against the Gu family again, lest they suffer further losses.
Neither fighting nor scolding worked. In such a situation, the Wang Clan was helpless and could only choose a more hidden place to store their money, preventing Gu Yu from discovering it.
The effect of this was indeed good.
With no more money lost that year, the Wang Clan was quite happy… But why was money lost again now!
Looking at the roughly pried-open secret passage and the empty chests, it truly made people want to shed tears of sorrow.
Although the news of Gu Yu’s arrival in the capital had been received, this time the silver was hidden in other places and not much was left at home… This way, Gu Yu should not be able to succeed again.
However, it was the opposite.
Who was Gu Yu? He could find even such well-hidden places to store money!
What the Wang Clan didn’t expect was… Gu Yu was now cooperating with the Alliance.
As a start to their cooperation, the Alliance sent Gu Yu a great gift, which made him extremely happy when he entered his space and saw the large amount of silver.
He even wanted to do it again to see if the Wang Clan would continue to “contribute” silver.
It was a pity that as Gu Yu was thinking about continuing to harm the Wang Clan, he suddenly remembered his little wife who was still in Lian Town. This time, he was no longer tempted by the allure of silver and immediately decided to leave for home the next day!
Now that everything was done and Xi Yang had been rescued in time, there was no reason to stay in the capital.
After informing Gu Qingheng about this, Gu Qingheng seemed a bit reluctant, appearing as if he wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days. Gu Yu thought about it and suddenly felt this was a good thing!
If Gu Qingheng stayed in the capital, wouldn’t that mean a light bulb was being sent away!
With this thought, Gu Yu began to discuss with Gu Qingheng, wanting him to stay in the capital for a few days. When the Gu family’s grain arrived, he would then have Xing Zhi send him back to Yang Family Village.
This way, Gu Qingheng could stay in the capital to accompany Gu Qing, and wouldn’t become a blinding light bulb, affecting Gu Yu and Mengyao’s two-person world.
Thinking that he could be sweet and loving with his little wife without anyone suddenly interrupting, Gu Yu immediately made up his mind to let Gu Qingheng stay in the capital for a short while.
And Gu Qingheng was such a clever child. Seeing the faint smile on Gu Yu’s face, he immediately guessed what his brother-in-law was thinking and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking that his brother-in-law’s intentions were too obvious!
However, Gu Qingheng didn’t refuse.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to spend more time with his father in the capital.
After not seeing him for just one year, Gu Qingheng felt that his father had aged a bit…
After resolving the issue of his brother-in-law, the light bulb, Gu Yu was in a great mood. Afterward, he went out to browse the shops in the capital. Upon discovering that the fabrics and jewelry prices had not dropped, he gave up the idea of getting a bargain and instead selected some local specialties of the capital, preparing to bring some back for Mengyao.
Thus, after a busy afternoon, Gu Yu had prepared most of the items.
However, because he had tasted a lot while shopping, he was already full and didn’t have dinner.
Tomorrow morning, he could bid farewell to his father-in-law and brother-in-law and return to see his wife!
“Brother-in-law, you probably can’t leave!”
“???”
In the evening, as Gu Yu lay in bed preparing for an early sleep, Gu Qingheng rushed in and pushed open the door. When his voice rang out, Gu Yu sighed in annoyance, thinking, “What happened again!”
Whenever his younger brother-in-law said something like this, there was never any good news…
“What is it again! I’m leaving tomorrow, it shouldn’t have anything to do with me!”
“If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn’t be here looking for you now! Tomorrow, the Emperor will perform rituals to pray for the quick recovery of the Linfeng Kingdom.”
Upon hearing that the Emperor was going to perform rituals, Gu Yu was a little surprised… He had previously told Mengyao that he wanted to see ancient rituals, and now he could see them.
What a coincidence!
But, he just wanted to go home now.
He didn’t want to see any rituals at all.
“Is that so! What does the Emperor performing rituals have to do with me? Go, go, hurry up and get out of my room. I’m leaving tomorrow and need to rest.”
“Brother-in-law, don’t rush! Listen to me, although it’s the Emperor performing rituals, because you have the Iron Certificate of Immunity, you’ll have to attend the ceremony tomorrow and cannot be absent…”
“Who told you that.”
“My father.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I was thinking of going back tomorrow and seeing my sister sooner.”
Upon hearing that he had to go, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh, thinking how unlucky he was!
If he had known this would happen, he would have left today!
Now, he had to stay in the capital and didn’t know when he could leave…
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry too much. The Emperor’s rituals won’t last too long, perhaps it will be over in one day! My father just found out today. He didn’t see you all afternoon and you didn’t have dinner, so he sent me to check on you.”
“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing that can be done. I hope it can be resolved in one day, otherwise if it takes too long, I’ll have to think of other solutions…”
“Brother-in-law, this is the capital, don’t do anything rash! I don’t want to see my sister become a widow!”
“…”
When Gu Yu was thinking about whether he should feign illness or use some other excuse to leave the capital if the time dragged on, his brother-in-law’s voice rang out, making Gu Yu twitch his mouth.
Gu Qingheng was thinking too much!
Become a widow!
Absolutely impossible!
Mengyao was his wife, how could he bear to let her become a widow!
