Chapter 55: I won’t eat eggs boiled in urine!
When Gu Yu met his father-in-law, he saw Gu Qing’s solemn expression and was very curious in his heart about what had happened!
“Gu Yu, you asked me about Zhu Zhao before, is he related to the assassin?”
“Mmm! But that’s just my speculation.”
“How do you know?”
“I have a few powerful friends, so I know some inside information… What? Father-in-law, has something happened?”
When he heard Gu Qing mention Zhu Zhao’s name, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was for this reason!
It startled him greatly, he thought something had happened!
A false alarm.
However, after listening to Gu Yu, Gu Qing’s tightly furrowed brows did not relax, and he looked worried, making Gu Yu think… Could it be that this Zhu Zhao has something to do with Gu Qing?
Otherwise, why would he have such an ugly expression…
“It’s nothing serious… I don’t know Zhu Zhao, I’m just worried that the capital will be in chaos! There are many supporters from the time of the former emperor, and now they are all emerging, making me very worried about the future development! Moreover, the impact of the earth dragon has not completely passed, which has made things even more serious.”
“Father-in-law, worrying about such things is useless, we can only take one step at a time and see what the final outcome is! As long as we don’t get involved with these people, it won’t be our business.”
While Gu Yu was thinking about whether Gu Qing and Zhu Zhao knew each other, Gu Qing also saw it from Gu Yu’s face. He immediately waved his hands, indicating that he did not know this Zhu Zhao, but his father-in-law Gongsun Jie did.
Gu Qing’s worried words made Gu Yu shake his head and say that it was better to wait and see for now, and not to contact any party to protect himself.
Gu Qing understood the meaning of Gu Yu’s words.
So, he nodded at Gu Yu at this time, and did not mention this matter again, but started to chat with Gu Yu about returning home, and as usual, asked Gu Yu to bring back a pile of gifts for Gu Mengyao.
Because Gu Mengyao did not come this time, Gu Qing wrote a long letter in advance, and then asked Gu Yu to give it to his daughter, so that they could communicate through letters and express their comfort.
When Gu Yu walked out of his father-in-law’s study, Gu Qingheng, who had been waiting outside, immediately came over, wanting to ask what had happened that made Gu Qing so serious!
He had never seen his father like this!
When Gu Yu explained the whole story, Gu Qingheng’s mouth almost closed, thinking that such a dramatic event could happen, it was too amazing!
Reality is always more exciting than storybooks!
However, this was just a small episode and did not prevent Gu Yu from setting off for home.
On the day Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng left, not only Chengfeng Shan and Maoyuan Tang came to see them off, but his father-in-law Gu Qing also asked Gu Yu to bring back several carriages of things, saying they were gifts for them… but most of them were things that women liked.
The father-in-law was too biased.
Although he was just a son-in-law, Gu Qingheng was still here. He didn’t show any attention, just said a few words, and then let Gu Yu and the others set off for home.
Gu Yu even felt that his younger brother-in-law was as good as being picked up.
Gu Qingheng didn’t feel anything about this, he just thought it was time to go home and was a little excited!
He didn’t know if anything interesting had happened in Lian Town after being away for so long, his friend Zhuo Fei must miss him too, so he should go back quickly!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingheng watched the scenery outside the carriage curtain flash by, his heart was full of anticipation for returning home, which made Gu Yu, who was lying beside him, feel like hitting his younger brother-in-law.
His sweet world for two with his wife was so ruined, it was truly unbearable!
His younger brother-in-law was so in the way!
“Brother-in-law, although I know I’m very handsome, you shouldn’t stare at me like this! It’s really shy, my heart is beating wildly!”
“Go, go, where did you learn this from? It’s too disgusting!”
“What do you mean disgusting, this is clearly the love of a younger brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you just…”
When Gu Yu looked at Gu Qingheng fiercely, he was disgusted by his younger brother-in-law. Then, before Gu Qingheng could say more disgusting words, Gu Yu directly raised his hand and covered his mouth, lest his ears be polluted.
However, Gu Qingheng was not to be outdone and raised his hand to tickle Gu Yu, making him uncomfortable… but Gu Yu had no ticklish flesh and was not afraid at all.
Instead, when Gu Yu retaliated, Gu Qingheng was very itchy and laughed loudly, startling the coachman, who didn’t know what was happening.
“Young Master Gu, did something happen?”
“No, it’s just that Qingheng is talking in his sleep and giggling non-stop.”
“Oh, that’s not good! If he gets delirious again… When we get home, we’ll give him some eggs boiled in boys’ urine, and he won’t talk in his sleep anymore.”
“Okay.”
Hearing the coachman’s folk remedy, Gu Yu’s smile became even brighter.
Compared to Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking that such ineffective folk remedies should be tried by others!
Even if he was talking in his sleep, he wouldn’t eat eggs boiled in urine!
After a while of闹, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng temporarily retreated and started thinking about what they would do when they got back.
Gu Yu just wanted to date Gu Mengyao.
As for Gu Qingheng, it was even simpler.
He just wanted to inquire about gossip.
“Brother-in-law, after we go back, there shouldn’t be anything else, right! I really hate this situation, it makes things so complicated.”
“Complicated as hell, it’s just the situation in the capital that’s special… When we get back to Lian Town, we won’t encounter such things. But it’s still not easy to get by!”
“Is it more worrying than the matters in the capital?”
“We’ve been gone for several days, and along the way, haven’t you found that the surrounding situation is getting more and more serious!”
Hearing Gu Qingheng’s sigh, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile helplessly, thinking that the power struggles in the capital were nothing, and the real headache would be when they returned to Lian Town.
Because they didn’t know if the grain supply would be sufficient, and what would happen if it wasn’t.
As the carriage rushed home, the villages and towns they saw along the way were much more dilapidated than when they came. Occasionally, they could see one or two corpses, which made Gu Yu worry about how Lian Town was doing.
Gu Mengyao’s skills were there, so she would definitely be fine… But at this time, he was not by his wife’s side, which made Gu Yu feel like an unqualified husband.
In a few more days, he would be able to rush back!
