Chapter 122 – Too Much Money to Burn
“A’yu, Zhuang Hui wants to harm the Gu family. Go deal with him now!”
Upon learning from Gu Yu that Zhuang Hui was not a good person and intended to harm Gu Qing, Gu Mengyao immediately exuded a strong killing intent.
A cold glint flashed in her dark eyes, and her expression became solemn. She did not hide her desire to kill.
She would not give anyone who harmed her family a chance to succeed.
“Not yet.”
“?”
“If I only wanted to deal with Zhuang Hui, I could have drugged him earlier, making him unable to live or die, which would have been a very easy matter… However, I want to find other people through Zhuang Hui.”
Seeing his little wife’s anxiety, Gu Yu no longer kept her in suspense and revealed his thoughts, not wanting Gu Mengyao to continue worrying.
With him around, there was no need to worry.
As for when to deal with Zhuang Hui, it would be after the poetry and wine gathering in two days.
For now, they naturally had to rely on the Alliance to investigate Zhuang Hui and see who he contacted regularly.
Gu Qing did not want to trouble Bai Qian, so he had not revealed the threat he received, but Gu Yu did not think that way.
After all, he and Bai Qian had a mutually beneficial relationship.
The loss of one party was not good for the other.
Moreover, it would be foolish not to use free labor…
“How do we find the others?”
“My father-in-law is being targeted because of Bai Qian, so we should find the Alliance to solve this problem… Anyway, since they know Bai Qian, there’s nothing they can’t say.”
“Alright! But don’t let my father know, otherwise, he’ll get entangled again.”
After hearing that Gu Yu had a solution, Gu Mengyao’s killing intent gradually subsided, and her expression returned to normal.
She had no doubt about her little husband’s abilities.
However, it was better not to let her father know about this matter.
She would just tell him that Zhuang Hui was not a good person and gradually distance him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this properly! Since these people dare to provoke the Gu family, they won’t be able to get away easily.”
After Gu Yu appeased Gu Mengyao, he didn’t waste any time and immediately went to the Alliance to discuss the matter.
Upon hearing that someone was secretly targeting the Gu family, the black-robed figures in the Alliance knew it was not a trivial matter. They immediately assured Gu Yu that they would send the news to the Imperial Palace and have the Alliance assign a mission.
This caused Gu Yu to nod in satisfaction. Then, he remembered his plan to have his younger brother-in-law join the Alliance.
However, after Gu Yu subtly inquired a few times, the black-robed figures remained tight-lipped.
This caused Gu Yu to give up on asking if he could take on part-time jobs, and instead thought it would be more convenient to ask Bai Qian later.
This would also allow Gu Qingheng to enjoy some special treatment and not be bullied when he was in the Alliance…
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Yu returned to the Gu Residence and no longer dwelled on the matter. Instead, he went around with his father-in-law to visit other officials.
Seeing Gu Qing’s proud expression as he introduced him to other officials, Gu Yu couldn’t help but feel amused.
Since his appearance in front of the foreign envoy last time, his name had become famous in the capital.
Especially the officials in the capital, who had witnessed Gu Yu’s skills in the hall, were now exaggerating his abilities to the heavens.
When Gu Qingheng told him about the rumors concerning Gu Yu, Gu Yu doubted if the legendary benevolent physician and suave prodigy he heard about was really him.
Indeed, exaggeration should be avoided!
Due to the external rumors and their fear of Gu Yu’s medical skills, the officials who visited were naturally polite, and the banquet went smoothly without any unpleasant incidents.
During the visits, Gu Yu also took the opportunity to see Shan Chengfeng and Tang Maoyuan to maintain their relationship.
When Gu Yu returned from Shan Chengfeng’s residence, he was holding the generous dividends for the year, his eyes curved into crescents with joy, thinking that he had made a fortune this year!
The amount of dividends given by Shan Chengfeng alone was so large that Gu Yu smiled in his dreams.
However, when he thought about how to spend the money, Gu Yu was stumped.
Every time he wanted to spend lavishly, he ended up making a huge profit.
This resulted in Gu Yu having more and more silver, and now with a large sum added, he couldn’t spend it all.
“Qingheng, tell me, how should I spend money?”
“What’s wrong, Brother-in-law, do you want to buy something?”
“No, I just have too much money to burn.”
“…”
When he no longer had to accompany them for visits, Gu Yu lay on the recliner in the courtyard with a distressed expression, looking very troubled.
Gu Qingheng, who was also lying beside him, couldn’t help but show a speechless expression when he heard Gu Yu’s words.
Now, he didn’t know what to say…
If others heard this, his brother-in-law would probably get beaten!
“Brother-in-law, is there anyone who dislikes having too much money?”
“I used to think so, but after accumulating more and more money, I don’t think so anymore! Fortunately, most of it is in silver notes, otherwise, my space would be filled.”
“Since you have so much money, why don’t you give it to me? I can buy jewelry for Sister Lian, and she’ll surely like it very much.”
“Jewelry?”
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu sat up abruptly, no longer lying down.
Then, he took out a box filled with jewelry from his space. The box contained exquisite jewelry made from all sorts of high-quality jades.
“Why would you need to buy them? I have plenty here, feel free to pick.”
“Brother-in-law, I think there’s a reason why you can’t spend your money.”
Looking at the jewelry box Gu Yu took out, the jewelry inside alone was immeasurably valuable.
This showed that his brother-in-law was truly a rich man!
“?”
“You have too many good things!”
Shaking his head helplessly at Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng thought that his brother-in-law truly had too many good things, which was why he had money but nowhere to spend it.
However, this was also a testament to his brother-in-law’s capabilities. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t even have the means to get these good things.
Gu Yu listened to his younger brother-in-law’s words, and after careful consideration, he realized it was indeed the case…
It seemed that his wish to spend money would likely not be fulfilled.
“Son-in-law, someone has delivered a letter.”
“Bring it over to take a look.”
At this moment, a servant from the Gu Residence ran towards them quickly from a distance. After saying his words, he ran to Gu Yu and took out a letter.
When Gu Yu took it and opened the envelope on the spot, he smiled with satisfaction as he read the words on the paper.
The Alliance was quite fast.
