Chapter 145: Absolutely Can’t Make a Move
“My father-in-law is in trouble? What’s the situation? Tell me slowly.”
After hearing the panicked voice of the servant, Gu Yu did not rush out like a scalded cat. Instead, he calmly asked about the specific situation.
Even if he rushed out in a panic, it would take some time.
Although the servant’s expression was not good, it did not show fear. Therefore, it could be inferred that the situation was not serious and Gu Qing could still hold his own.
However, holding his own was one thing, but resolving the issue was not easy.
“Originally, Master wanted to go to the streets to continue searching for the murderer of Miss and Master’s son-in-law, but the people from the Zhou family suddenly came to find trouble. They rushed over aggressively, looking unfriendly. Master then sent me to find Master’s son-in-law!”
“Zhou family? Does my father-in-law have any grudges with the Zhou family?”
“No, the Zhou family is related to the Wang clan by marriage, and the two families have very deep connections! They came to find trouble this time, probably to avenge the Wang family… After all, Master took people to the Wang family before and threw Wang Xu into prison.”
“I see. Alright, prepare a carriage and take us there later. Don’t tell your young lady. Such a small matter doesn’t need to trouble her.”
“Okay.”
After speaking with the servant, Gu Yu immediately had an idea in his heart and let the servant make arrangements.
Since others were actively looking for trouble, he couldn’t blame him for being ruthless.
How dare they trouble his father-in-law? They really didn’t want to live.
However, it was also his father-in-law’s wisdom. Knowing that after notifying Gu Mengyao, the Zhou family would definitely not have a good ending.
It was better to find his son-in-law, who was not good at martial arts, to resolve the matter more smoothly.
“Brother-in-law, I’m going too.”
“What are you going for?”
“My father is being bullied. I have to go and see them suffer! Although I can’t deal with them, you can, brother-in-law! I believe you already have a plan, so I’ll just go and watch the show.”
“You really trust me.”
“Of course, brother-in-law is the strongest.”
Facing his brother-in-law’s flattery, Gu Yu felt very comfortable.
His brother-in-law rarely flattered him like this.
Except when he gave him the medicinal powder…
When Gu Yu estimated that the servant had made sufficient preparations, he and Gu Qingheng walked towards the door. Then, the two of them, along with the servant, hurried towards their destination.
Along the way, unlike Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng’s calmness, the servant repeatedly urged the coachman to hurry, for fear that Gu Qing would be in trouble.
…
“Gu Qing, what’s with that expression? After injuring my son without reason, you’re still so arrogant. It’s detestable!”
“That’s right, the young master of the Zhou family is someone you can just step on!”
“Young Master is the Empress Dowager’s darling! How can you, a Vice General, compare to him? You’re not even worthy of carrying his shoes!”
“Hmph, he’s probably not very bright, otherwise, why would he still be a vice general after staying in the military camp for so many years.”
“Stop talking. Since he injured the young master, you have to pay back ten times!”
When the carriage Gu Yu was in arrived, Gu Qing and several servants were already surrounded. Harsh voices could be heard from within, causing Gu Yu’s eyebrows to furrow when he heard them.
He didn’t know what kind of background the Zhou family had to dare to insult Gu Qing so much.
If they were only related to the Wang clan by marriage, the crime of insulting a court official was not small, enough for them to drink a pot in prison.
Moreover, Gu Qing did not retaliate, obviously due to some apprehension.
Otherwise, anyone else would have already started fighting.
However, if a fight really broke out, Gu Yu would not be worried at all… After all, his father-in-law’s martial arts were very strong, and dealing with these people was a piece of cake.
“What’s the background of the Zhou family? They’re not just related to the Wang clan by marriage, are they!”
“The first patriarch of the Zhou family had a very deep relationship with the former Emperor. Every generation was favored by the Emperor. It’s precisely because the current generation is declining that there aren’t many capable people, which is why they became related to the Wang clan by marriage.”
Just as Gu Yu thought he wouldn’t get an answer, the servant who had been observing directly spoke up, and what he said surprised Gu Yu.
He didn’t expect that the Gu Residence was full of hidden talents!
Even a servant knew so much, which made him feel ashamed.
However, after hearing the servant’s introduction to the Zhou family, Gu Yu became even more confused… Since the other party was already a declining family, why were they still so bold as to find trouble with Gu Qing?
Weren’t they afraid of Gu Qing’s revenge?
Or did they think that the Wang clan could help them resolve the aftermath?
“Is that all?”
“Of course not. Because the ancestors of the Zhou family made great contributions to Linfeng Kingdom, even the Emperor treats the head of the Zhou family with courtesy. The person causing trouble now is the head of the Zhou family… It is precisely because of this that Master dared not act directly but chose to continue to endure.”
“Oh, that’s normal. I thought I had encountered another brainless fellow, that would have been no fun at all.”
“Brother-in-law, let’s get off the carriage quickly. My father is being bullied like this, we must make them pay.”
“Okay, let’s get off!”
As they spoke, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng got out of the carriage and quickly approached the crowd.
Although the Zhou family members were leading the trouble, they did not drive away the surrounding onlookers. Instead, with more people around, their emotions became more excited.
This time, they had dealt a heavy blow to Gu Qing in front of everyone, completely humiliating him.
Even though Gu Qing’s face turned pale with anger at this moment, he said nothing, clearly knowing that the Gu family was no match for the Zhou family.
Daring to make an enemy of the Zhou family now would surely lead to a terrible end.
After all, even the Emperor had to give face to the Zhou family, and he was just a minor vice general. After provoking the Zhou family, even if the Emperor valued the Gu family…
If it were just Gu Qing alone, he would never compromise and would only want to beat the other party severely to vent his anger.
Even if he was imprisoned, so what!
He should be beaten if he deserved it.
However, now that he had a wife and children, he could not be so reckless.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn’t help but clench his fists, forcibly suppressing his anger.
Even for his family, he could not fall for their trap.
The Zhou family came to cause trouble this time precisely to anger him!
He absolutely could not make a move.
“Hmph, Gu Qing, aren’t you very capable? When you arrested Wang Xu, your attitude was very arrogant! How come now that you’ve met me, you’ve become a mute? Tsk, what a useless fellow… Forget it, it’s beneath me to argue with a soft-legged shrimp like you! Now, kneel down to my son, and I’ll forgive you.”
As Gu Qing endured, the head of the Zhou family snorted coldly, and his subsequent words made Gu Qing’s expression even more unpleasant.
Gu Qing felt that his anger was about to explode.
“Yo, so many people! It’s really lively. Why are you all gathered here instead of going home to feed your children? Is someone performing monkey tricks? Then I want to hear what monkey language sounds like!”
Just as Gu Qing could no longer bear it, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, which made Gu Qing’s eyes light up.
His good son-in-law was here!
