Chapter 81: The Devil’s Whisper
Gu Yu was quite surprised to hear that the disaster relief grain was escorted by the Wang clan.
The Emperor’s decision was also unexpected.
Whether it was because the Emperor was scared to death after an assassination attempt or for some other reason, the current situation was not very favorable to the Gu family.
A few days after Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu learned about this, their father-in-law Gu Qing also sent a letter from the capital. Besides expressing his concern for his children, he also mentioned the matter of the disaster relief grain in the letter.
Clearly, Gu Qing was also worried that the Wang clan would use this as an excuse to do something bad to Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu later on.
After reading the letter, Gu Yu smiled, thinking how quickly the news from his father-in-law had arrived!
It took quite some time for a letter to be sent from the capital to Lian Town.
It was estimated that Gu Qing had already received the news before the escorts of the disaster relief grain were announced…
In response, Gu Yu handed the letter to Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu and asked them to reply, so their father-in-law wouldn’t worry.
However, Gu Yu felt that they were not the ones who should be worried.
It was better to let people from the Wang clan worry about whether they could go back intact this time!
After Gu Yu sent the required poison to the Tang Sect, Tang Lian’s letter immediately arrived.
When Gu Qingheng opened the letter with an excited face, his smile quickly faded after seeing the content inside. He clearly already knew that Tang Lian would postpone their meeting for three years.
After that, Gu Qingheng didn’t eat properly for several days. It was only after Mengyao Gu scolded him that he unhappily returned to the dining table.
Seeing his younger brother-in-law looking like a brooding and melancholic young man, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smirk a few times, but because he was afraid of being discovered by Mengyao Gu, he didn’t show it too obviously.
Although Gu Yu wanted to say a few words to his brother-in-law to let him know the consequences of provoking him.
But he couldn’t let his wife know.
So, he could only keep it in his heart.
However, it was likely that Gu Qingheng would take a long time to recover from the blow. Recently, he had lost the motivation to go to the village to inquire about gossip. He always went to the mountains alone to lament and express his emotions, which was so artistic that Gu Yu couldn’t bear to watch.
“A’Yu, Tang Lian’s decision to postpone the training time has made Qingheng very sad! Should we arrange for them to meet, so Qingheng doesn’t always sigh at the air?”
“It’s nothing. Children are like this. They’ll be fine after a while. Don’t worry.”
“But…”
“Mengyao, think about it… Isn’t Qingheng very honest and well-behaved these days? He hasn’t caused any trouble. And he hasn’t gone to the village to find those women to inquire about gossip? Weren’t you worried before that if Qingheng always stayed with women, he would become effeminate?”
Just as Mengyao Gu was a little worried about her younger brother, Gu Yu spoke seriously. What he said made Mengyao Gu feel that it made some sense.
During this time, Gu Qingheng had indeed become less mischievous.
However, Mengyao Gu was still a little worried that her younger brother might not be able to think things through.
What if something happened to him?
“Mengyao, don’t worry! Qingheng is not a fool. If he really couldn’t think things through, he wouldn’t choose to harm himself. After all, even though the time has been postponed, they can still meet in the future… I’ll go and persuade him later, maybe it will help him get out of his sadness faster.”
“Yes, thank you for the trouble.”
“Hehe, you are my wife, how can you say it’s trouble? If you think I’m good, then give me a kiss!”
“You’re annoying~ It’s broad daylight, aren’t you afraid of being seen!”
“What are you afraid of? Weren’t you very proactive before!”
Seeing Mengyao Gu’s worried look, Gu Yu couldn’t bear it, so he said he would go and persuade his brother-in-law, which made Mengyao Gu less worried.
After that, hearing Gu Yu’s playful words, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but glare at him charmingly, almost hooking Gu Yu’s soul out.
His little wife was becoming more and more beautiful!
If she got any older, he would completely lose control.
…
“Qingheng, what are you doing? Your sister has been very worried about you lately!”
Reluctantly parting from his wife, Gu Yu walked towards the mountain, preparing to have a good talk with his brother-in-law.
With only him and Gu Qingheng, Gu Yu could also reveal that he was the mastermind behind the plan, letting his brother-in-law know that provoking him would absolutely not end happily.
Ever since Gu Yu released Xiao Hei and its mate to guard the house, no other wild beasts dared to come to the area near the Gu family. And even if Gu Qingheng encountered wild beasts, he didn’t need to be afraid, as he carried the medicinal powder Gu Yu gave him.
He could even use it to stun them and bring them back for an extra meal.
When Gu Yu found Gu Qingheng, he was sitting on a tree trunk with a melancholic expression. Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that he didn’t know if his brother-in-law would jump off the tree in anger when he told him the truth later.
“Brother-in-law, after careful consideration these past few days, I’ve suddenly discovered several suspicious points.”
“Oh? What?”
Then, after hearing what Gu Qingheng said, Gu Yu became even more interested.
Could it be that his brother-in-law had guessed it himself?
If so, it would be quite interesting!
“After Sister Lian suddenly wrote to me, looking at the words she wrote on the letter paper, I always felt something was wrong. What did she mean by ‘the sect suddenly decided’… If I carefully calculate the time the letter was sent, it was the time when I tricked you before.”
“This alone can’t explain anything!”
“After feeling that things were not as simple as I thought, I secretly observed your movements and found that you had frequent contact with people from the alliance! Thinking about the poison before, I can now conclude that you must have reached some secret agreement with the Tang Sect, which is why Sister Lian has three more years of training time!”
“Hmm! Not bad, it’s a significant improvement to be able to think of these things.”
After hearing his brother-in-law’s words, Gu Yu smiled and didn’t refute anything, but directly nodded and admitted it.
When Gu Qingheng saw that Gu Yu really admitted it, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had already prepared himself for resistance, but who would have thought… Gu Yu actually admitted it so readily!
It was really unexpected.
However, Gu Qingheng couldn’t do anything to Gu Yu just because he discovered these things.
An arm couldn’t twist a thigh.
He was still no match for Gu Yu.
“Now, you should know that you can’t provoke me!”
“Unfair!”
“What fairness or unfairness when dealing with a brat? Qingheng, don’t let your meeting with Tang Lian be extended for a few more years~”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng felt as if he heard the devil’s whisper…
