Chapter 154: Talent in This Area
Finally, Gu Qingheng’s wish to enter the alliance’s intelligence department quickly came to nothing.
There was no way, facing a brother-in-law more devilish than the devil himself, Gu Qingheng felt he had to accept his fate!
Gu Yu spewed out a female commandment, which was a development Gu Qingheng never expected.
Or rather, normal people wouldn’t ask such questions!
Because Gu Yu had previously said that he wouldn’t object to any books, Gu Qingheng had no reason to argue even when Gu Yu brought up the female commandment.
Now, he could only obediently accept the result of staying at home for half a month.
Damn it!!!
Upon seeing Gu Qingheng leave with a face full of gloom, Gu Yu smiled without any guilt, instead feeling he had done a great deed.
With Gu Qingheng unable to leave home, the chance of accidents was reduced to zero, allowing him to have a smooth Lunar New Year.
Even though Gu Yu was ordered to stir up trouble.
However, by secretly receiving the decree, others didn’t know that Bai Qian had assigned this mission.
And after Gu Yu perfectly executed the mission, he wasn’t afraid of retaliation from these nobles and children of the elite, but he was worried about implicating those around him.
As for his little wife, Gu Yu was not worried.
If anyone dared to lay a hand on Mengyao, let alone anything else, their family should quickly prepare coffins!
However, that was another matter for Gu Qing and Gu Qingheng…
Gu Qing at least had the ability to protect himself, and besides attending court every day, he stayed at home playing with birds and practicing martial arts, like Gu Yu, he was a homebody… If he wasn’t invited by friends, Gu Qing could stay in the mansion all the time.
But Gu Qingheng was different.
Wherever there were people, Gu Qingheng would go…
And in a place as chaotic as a gambling house, Gu Yu didn’t find it strange even if something happened.
Fortunately, the danger had been nipped in the bud…
However, after this New Year passed, the other party would probably start their actions!
Alas!
He hoped this year would pass quickly, and then he would have another sum of silver to his name!
…
Although there were many incidents in Linfeng Kingdom, which caused the civilians to be frightened for a long time.
However, after Bai Qian took over the regency, Linfeng Kingdom did not experience much turmoil, but developed stably… which relieved many people’s burdens and gave them good expectations for the future.
Hopefully, Linfeng Kingdom would get better and better.
“Put it down, put it down, let me do it!”
On New Year’s Eve, every family in the capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, creating a sea of red as far as the eye could see.
And at the Gu Residence, when the servant was preparing to paste the couplets, Gu Qingheng, who was bored at home, finally found something to do. He quickly told the servant to stop and took his place to climb the ladder and paste the couplets on the main door.
In the past, when it was Lunar New Year in Lian Town, Yang Family Village, pasting couplets was always done by Gu Qingheng himself.
This time, celebrating Lunar New Year in the capital, he couldn’t forget his skill in pasting couplets.
At this moment, looking at the bustling streets, Gu Qingheng truly regretted… why did he make a bet with Gu Yu that day, which resulted in him not going out to inquire for information for several days.
During this time, he relied entirely on the maids and servants in the mansion for the latest gossip, which made Gu Qingheng feel extremely uncomfortable.
If there was a memory-erasing medicine in the world, he would definitely tell his past self not to confidently bet with Gu Yu!
He was bound to lose!
“What’s wrong with young master today? It’s Lunar New Year already, why is he still looking so unhappy?”
“Alas, don’t you know? Young master feels like every day is a year because he can’t go out to inquire for gossip!”
“You’re saying this too?”
“Hehe, it’s said to be because he made a bet with the son-in-law, and now he’s become like this… Our son-in-law is truly amazing. With just a few words, he made young master not dare to go out anymore! You know, even the master’s scolding didn’t work a while ago!”
“Of course, who is our son-in-law! His medical skills are superb, he’s practically a divine doctor!”
Just as Gu Qingheng finished pasting the couplets, the smile that had just turned upwards was immediately replaced by emptiness, which made him feel even more depressed.
Especially after hearing the words of the surrounding maids and servants, Gu Qingheng became even more conflicted.
His brother-in-law is a devil!!!
“Qingheng, I’ve been looking for you for a while, why are you standing here?”
“I just finished pasting the couplets. What do you need me for? Let me say this first, I can’t go out!”
Just as Gu Qingheng was silently sulking, Mengyao’s voice suddenly rang out. Hearing this, Gu Qingheng immediately turned his gaze to Mengyao, wondering why she was looking for him at this time?
Every New Year, besides pasting couplets, Gu Qingheng felt that the only thing he could do was eat.
Looking at the current time, it wasn’t mealtime yet…
“Your brother-in-law bottled the wine and said he wanted to give you a few bottles…”
“Sister, why didn’t you say so earlier! I’ll go over now. Ever since my brother-in-law got lazy and stopped making wine, I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve had any!”
Immediately, upon hearing Mengyao mention the word “wine,” Gu Qingheng’s eyes lit up, and he was no longer depressed, his mouth watering greedily.
After Gu Yu stopped brewing wine, Gu Qingheng tried to be self-sufficient but found that it wasn’t as delicious as his brother-in-law’s!
He didn’t know if his brother-in-law added any secret ingredients that made the wine so incredibly delicious!
As for the depression of not being able to go out, it had to take a backseat in front of fine wine.
Now, it was time to drink!
…
“Is there any news from Gu Yu’s side?”
“Reporting to the Empress, after our tracking and investigation, we have apprehended 359 people who intended to attack Gu Yu. After apprehending and interrogating them, we discovered that they simply wanted revenge on Gu Yu and had no connection with the murderer who killed several ministers previously!”
“……”
Although today was the New Year, Bai Qian was still diligently reviewing memorials and handling other matters from time to time.
For example, Gu Yu’s side…
After hearing her subordinate’s report, Bai Qian also felt a bit speechless about Gu Yu, never expecting… that Gu Yu’s ability to stir up trouble was so outstanding.
How long has it been, and he had already earned this much hatred.
It had to be said that Gu Yu could be considered a talent in this area.
“Continue to pay close attention to Gu Yu. I believe that after this year passes, the other party will not be able to help but show their flaws!”
“Yes.”
When the subordinate received the order and withdrew, Bai Qian shook her head helplessly, temporarily setting aside Gu Yu’s matter, and then continued to diligently review the memorials in her hands.
According to the news from the border military camps, many spies have suddenly appeared recently. After being captured by Linfeng Kingdom, they committed suicide by poison before they could even be interrogated.
When Bai Qian heard this news, she immediately felt a bad premonition, thinking that after such a long period of silence, was war going to break out again?
However, the situation was unclear for now, so she would wait and see!
