Chapter Seventy-Nine: Younger Brother-in-law Like a Brat?
After confirming that the troublemaker was the Wang Clan, Gu Yu felt relieved, thinking that since they were “old friends,” he didn’t need to waste any more effort on other considerations.
In any case, the Wang Clan would return before the Gu family was dealt with.
And now, they just needed to wait.
Waiting for the people sent by the Wang Clan to die one by one in their hands would surely cause the other party physical pain.
After all, each of them was a carefully cultivated talent.
“Brother Gu, I often hear Qingheng talk about you, and I’m truly in awe!”
“Oh? Qingheng mentioned me?”
While Mengyao Gu and her younger brother were chatting, Zhuo Fei finally found an opportunity to speak a word or two with Gu Yu.
Although Zhuo Fei felt that Gu Yu didn’t like his presence.
However, after Mengyao Gu became his master, Gu Yu was the master’s husband… After struggling with the title for a moment, Zhuo Fei finally decided to call Gu Yu “Brother Gu.”
In Linfeng Kingdom, there were basically no examples of women taking disciples.
Therefore, in terms of address, it was acceptable to call Gu Yu “Brother Gu.”
And upon hearing Zhuo Fei’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that this Zhuo Fei was quite clever, much more composed than his younger brother-in-law.
“Don’t look at Qingheng’s awkward demeanor; he often praises Brother Gu in front of me as a very intelligent person who can overcome any difficulty and remains calm and composed in any situation…”
“Hold on, hearing you say that makes me feel like I’m dreaming.”
Being praised always made people feel good.
Gu Yu was no exception.
Therefore, looking at Zhuo Fei now, he felt much more pleased, thinking that since Gu Mengyao had already accepted him as a disciple, he shouldn’t make things difficult for him anymore.
This young disciple looked quite pleasing to the eye.
If he drove him away, and then another displeasing person came, it would be even more painful.
Thinking this, Gu Yu didn’t recall that before he returned, he had already prepared hundreds of ways to drive people away in his heart, not wanting anyone to occupy Mengyao Gu’s time.
However, after hearing from Mengyao Gu that Zhuo Fei was only learning as a hobby, Gu Yu felt much more relaxed.
Since it was just a hobby, it wouldn’t take up too much time.
This was also the main reason why Gu Yu changed his mind, thinking that taking in a disciple who didn’t require much effort was much better than having a troublesome disciple later on!
“Brother-in-law, what bad things are you saying about me again! I heard it all, you must be talking about me tricking you before!”
“Tricked me? Alright, if you hadn’t brought this up, I would have almost given up my plans for retaliation because of what Zhuo Fei said! It seems I still need to continue!”
“???”
And while Gu Yu and Zhuo Fei were talking, Gu Qingheng suddenly came over and heard Gu Yu’s words. For some reason… he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
His brother-in-law was really going to retaliate!
Clearly, Gu Yu wasn’t just saying it.
After sending Zhuo Fei away, Gu Yu immediately went back to his room and wrote rapidly. Looking at the letter he had written, he nodded with great satisfaction.
Having the alliance send the letter, Gu Yu finally felt the pleasure of successful revenge. Then, while cooking with his little wife, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, making Mengyao Gu curious.
According to her and Qingheng’s guess, when Gu Yu returned from town, he should have used some small tricks because Gu Qingheng had tricked him.
But now, it was still calm and peaceful.
It made Mengyao Gu feel a little strange…
“A’yu, Qingheng tricked you for the sake of a friend, don’t go too far!”
“Ah? I’d almost forgotten about that. Mengyao, you know me… How could I bear to make a move against such a cute younger brother-in-law!”
“It’s precisely because I know you that I’m saying this! Just teach him a small lesson, don’t go too far.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Qingheng. I just think he should focus on his studies lately. As for anything else, we can consider it later!”
As she spoke, Mengyao Gu did not forget to chop the vegetables in her hand. Seeing Gu Yu’s innocent expression, she was not fooled.
Her little husband had first-class acting skills.
It wasn’t that by saying he wouldn’t do anything to Gu Qingheng now, he really wouldn’t, but rather that he would choose to do it secretly in private… However, upon hearing Gu Yu say that Gu Qingheng should study well, Mengyao Gu was also relieved.
Her mischievous brother should just study well!
At least, during his studies, he wouldn’t have time to listen to gossip.
Thus, Gu Qingheng’s hope of meeting Tang Lian quickly was completely dashed.
And after seeing Mengyao Gu’s reaction, the corners of Gu Yu’s mouth turned up slightly, thinking that he knew his little wife wouldn’t stop him… When the alliance delivered the letter to the Tang Sect Leader, the good show was just beginning!
Lately, is his younger brother-in-law like a brat?
It’s fine, a good scolding will suffice.
…
“Advisor, investigate thoroughly for me. What happened in Mingpan Town, and who went to investigate back then!”
“My lord, did something happen?”
“I’m so angry! Someone said before that Mingpan Town had collapsed, which was why the river channel was blocked, and I didn’t think much of it… But now that Gu Yu went there and discovered it was intentional, and he resolved quite a few fierce bandits in Mingpan Town, he asked me to investigate whether there were any spies in the county office.”
Magistrate Bai, who had always been with his advisor, did not treat him as an outsider. When the advisor asked in confusion, he immediately explained what had happened, which greatly surprised the advisor.
Magistrate Bai, however, couldn’t help but smile bitterly, clearly feeling very helpless about such a situation.
“My lord, please don’t be impatient. I’ll go investigate now.”
“Go, but be careful not to alert the enemy. Anyone who dares to deceive me will be severely punished when I catch them!”
“Okay.”
After meticulously instructing his advisor, Magistrate Bai sighed slightly and then looked at the advisor’s receding back. He casually waved his hand in the air, and masked men in black suddenly appeared beside him, bowing their heads to Magistrate Bai.
Upon seeing the men in black, Magistrate Bai’s face showed more struggle, but he finally spoke.
“You go and follow the advisor. See what he intends to do. If you find him trying to escape, kill him directly!”
“Yes.”
Although Magistrate Bai wanted to trust his subordinates, the evidence Gu Yu had sent earlier left him with no words to say.
He never expected that the person closest to him would betray him.
