Chapter 158: Never-ending Doubting Life
With Li Wang being an additional observer, Gu Yu’s life didn’t change much.
He continued to lie around leisurely every day, and when he got tired of lying, he would stroll around the courtyard before returning to lie down again.
However, if Gu Mengyao wasn’t so busy, Gu Yu felt he wouldn’t be wasting his time like this.
His little wife was very busy lately!
Because they hadn’t been to the capital for a long time, Gu Qing and Gongsun Feifei both missed Gu Mengyao very much. So many days had passed, and Gu Mengyao was still unable to rest.
She was either practicing martial arts with Gu Qing in a neat set of male attire, under the admiring and cheering gazes of many young maids, or attending various women’s gatherings with Gongsun Feifei, fostering relationships with the families of high-ranking officials in the capital.
It must be said that with the training during this period, Gu Mengyao’s martial arts had improved significantly.
Moreover, she had also gotten along well with some young ladies in the capital, and with Lin Yue accompanying her to various gatherings, she had helped Chengfeng Shan promote a considerable number of business deals.
However, while everything was going well here, Gu Yu became more and more depressed day by day.
Gu Mengyao was his wife!!!
Why was it that after coming to the capital, their time together was less!
Only by hugging her at night could he comfort his depressed mood.
Although he liked lying on the bed, staying in bed all the time was also very boring!!!
And his younger brother-in-law, after having Li Wang for company, didn’t come to see him much anymore.
He was probably hanging out with Li Wang!
Thinking about these things depressingly, Gu Yu didn’t even remember how much he disliked Gu Qingheng before, and now he actually missed his brother-in-law’s boisterous demeanor.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, big news!!!”
As the old saying goes, when you talk about the devil, he appears.
Just as Gu Yu was starting to miss his brother-in-law’s chatter, Gu Qingheng’s voice sounded, and then the door creaked open, and the person outside bounced in.
Seeing Gu Qingheng’s face full of gossip, Gu Yu immediately guessed… Gu Qingheng must have found out the latest news while wandering outside.
But why didn’t he see Li Wang?
“Where’s Li Wang? He’s your personal attendant now; he should be with you at all times!”
“Him! He’s in my study, drawing circles and feeling depressed!”
“?”
“When I was reading before, Li Wang said I read too fast and couldn’t remember the content at all, so it was useless… Then, I played a few rounds of quizzing with him, and now he’s been driven to autism.”
“……”
Hearing Gu Yu’s question, Gu Qingheng did not hide anything. Instead, he sat on a nearby chair with an indifferent look and told Gu Yu everything that had happened.
Li Wang was indeed very smart, and he was also a meticulous person.
Therefore, after seeing Gu Qingheng’s unique reading method, he immediately raised a very strong objection.
But he didn’t expect… Gu Qingheng had a talent boost, and he wasn’t just dealing with him casually.
So, after Gu Qingheng taught him a lesson, Li Wang was now sitting in the corner of the study, constantly doubting life.
In summary… Who am I, where am I, what am I doing.
“Oh, the news about Li Wang is not important! Brother-in-law, I just heard a piece of news on the street that you will definitely be interested in!”
“Oh? What is it?”
“After the Emperor was taken down by the Wang family’s medicine, the implicated Empress Dowager was also placed under house arrest… Now, it is said that the Empress Dowager will be sent to a nunnery on the mountain to have her hair cut becoming a nun!”
“Is that so…”
Afterwards, Gu Qingheng didn’t keep him in suspense but shared the news he had inquired about.
Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown, thinking that Bai Qian’s actions were too fast.
Although the Empress Dowager had foolishly caused her son’s death, she was still an Empress Dowager, and now she ended up as a nun.
Moreover, judging by Bai Qian’s personality, Gu Yu suspected that the Empress Dowager might not even arrive safely at the nunnery.
It wasn’t impossible for there to be robbers on the way and for her to be killed directly…
However, Bai Qian’s sudden actions might indicate that the situation in the capital was about to become chaotic.
After all, after the Emperor died, if more time passed, Bai Qian would have more preparations.
Perhaps the appearance of the Royal Support Squad had threatened Bai Qian, and coupled with the fact that this had not happened in his previous life, Bai Qian had to accelerate her progress and ascend the throne as soon as possible.
If Bai Qian were to make any moves later, the Gu family, as a supporter of her, would have something to do next.
He would be busy again!
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you surprised at all!”
“How could I not be. I’m very surprised.”
“But your expression tells me… you’ve already guessed this.”
“Alright, when I knew the Emperor was dead, I had already envisioned the possible situations. I had also speculated about the current development… However, the sudden emergence of the fact that I am of royal bloodline is indeed surprising.”
After Gu Yu finished speaking with a smile, Gu Qingheng also felt relieved.
His brother-in-law was completely different from others.
It was as if he knew the future.
That’s why he wasn’t surprised at all by the development of the Empress Dowager becoming a nun.
“Hehe, what happens next, will the capital be in chaos!”
“You already have a decision in your heart, so why are you asking me.”
“If that’s the case, I’ve also guessed the outcome. So, take this opportunity to send me to the Tang Sect, and I can spend more time with Sister Lian.”
“……”
Hearing his younger brother-in-law’s words, Gu Yu was also speechless.
It was not a good time to stay at home, and he was thinking of going to Lianzhou. This younger brother-in-law had really grown up!
Although no other accidents would happen, the distance between the capital and Lianzhou was too great. If anything really happened, it would be too late to rescue them, so Gu Yu directly refused.
This immediately made Gu Qingheng like a frosted eggplant, completely wilting, without any spirit.
Although he had already anticipated this outcome, being directly refused by Gu Yu still made Gu Qingheng very sad.
Staying in the capital every day, apart from reading, he couldn’t even spend too much time gathering gossip… Such restrictions on his movements were worse than staying in Yang Family Village!
Seeing Gu Qingheng’s dejected look, Gu Yu thought whether he had refused too abruptly.
Why not give him some hope first, and then refuse?
If that was the case, Gu Qingheng would definitely be even more angry.
So, forget it!
“Son-in-law, son-in-law, something’s wrong! There’s an imperial decree from the palace, and Master calls you to listen to the decree together.”
Just as Gu Yu was contemplating whether or not to appease his younger brother-in-law, the servant’s flustered voice suddenly echoed outside the door.
