Chapter 176 They’ve Come?
These past few days were destined to be a difficult period for some people in the capital.
The reason was none other than their precious sons suddenly going mad!
Not only did they not recognize their family members, but they also became violent.
If they weren’t careful, they would run out of the house in a daze, crying and laughing at passersby.
Or they would strip themselves naked and run through the streets.
This abnormal situation made all the ministers anxious, not knowing what had happened to make their children become like this!
Moreover, it wasn’t just one family.
Nearly half of the noble families in the capital were in the same situation.
Such a coincidence immediately made people feel something was wrong… After careful investigation, all clues pointed to Gu Yu of the Gu Residence.
Only a skilled doctor like Gu Yu could concoct such a prescription to make people go mad.
Moreover, those who had gone mad in their families had significant conflicts with Gu Yu.
Upon thinking of this possibility, some impatient people couldn’t help but rush to the Gu Residence aggressively, ready to question Gu Yu.
Although Gu Yu had a great reputation in the capital, he was just a doctor.
He didn’t hold any position in the court, so there was nothing to worry about.
If they made a mistake, at worst, they could simply apologize.
There was no need to worry too much.
After all, they were officials, and Gu Yu was a commoner.
Even though Gu Yu’s excellent medical skills in the past made people reluctant to offend him… now that it involved their children, these ministers had to act.
However, these people were too naive.
As soon as they arrived at the main gate of the Gu Residence, Gu Mengyao stood at the entrance holding a long spear.
She exuded an aura of “one man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot get through.”
This caused the officials who came to the Gu Residence to question Gu Yu to stop in their tracks, not daring to step forward, for fear of being impaled by Gu Mengyao.
Despite all calculations, they hadn’t expected Gu Mengyao to be so protective of her husband.
This stance clearly showed that she intended to protect Gu Yu completely.
“Gu Mengyao, we are here to see Gu Yu because we want to ask him a few things.”
“You don’t need to tell me what you want to do. But, have you submitted a visiting card!”
“This… we are also anxious for our beloved sons, so we were in a hurry…”
“In a hurry? So you can barge in aggressively? The Gu Residence is not a marketplace for anyone to enter and exit.”
After a conversation between Gu Mengyao and the officials, with no resolution, the situation reached a stalemate.
However, when Gu Mengyao firmly thrust her long spear into the ground, the bluestone bricks beneath her directly had a pit poked into them.
Instantly, countless cracks appeared.
They were as dense as a spiderweb, making people’s scalps tingle.
They couldn’t help but wonder how strong Gu Mengyao was!
As expected of a woman who had been on the battlefield fighting enemies, her aura alone was different!
“It’s just a visiting card, we’ll submit it now!”
“It’s too late, we are not receiving guests today, please come again tomorrow.”
“…”
Hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, everyone knew they wouldn’t be able to see Gu Yu today.
Although they were all very indignant, they obediently left the Gu Residence.
However, leaving didn’t mean the matter was over.
Instead, they planned to go to the Imperial Palace together to seek justice from Empress Bai Qian.
They really didn’t believe that Gu Yu could control the capital with just one hand!
After seeing the people gathered at the Gu Residence leave one by one, Gu Mengyao no longer stood at the door like a guardian. She turned and walked towards her courtyard.
Today’s matter was unusual, and she had to go and ask her little husband what had happened!
She didn’t stop the crowd at the door because Gu Yu asked for help, but because Gu Mengyao happened to encounter them.
Although she vaguely guessed that it was related to Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao would not allow others to bully her little husband!
Therefore, she drove everyone away.
“A’yu, what did you do again to attract a large group of people to block the door!”
“They’ve come?”
“Yes, I sent them away.”
When Gu Mengyao returned to the house, Gu Yu was leisurely lying on the bed reading a book, looking as if time was treating him kindly, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
This made Gu Mengyao smile helplessly, and then she immediately recounted what had just happened.
However, when Gu Yu heard that someone had come to cause trouble, his face was full of excitement.
He didn’t seem bothered by it; instead, he looked forward to it.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you about this… Next time these people come, wife, you don’t need to worry too much. Just let them in directly.”
“???”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao became even more curious.
She didn’t know what her little husband was planning, why he would say this now?
Did Gu Yu anticipate those people coming long ago?
“This is a long story. Wife, do you remember the mission Empress Bai Qian gave me, to stir up trouble everywhere and lure out the murderers who assassinated the capital’s ministers before?”
“Yes, I remember.”
“Although Empress Bai Qian supports me from behind, apart from you and me, no one else knows about this matter… So, those noble children of the capital who were dealt with by me, now…”
Seeing the confused expression on his wife’s face, Gu Yu didn’t hide anything else and explained the whole story.
Originally, there was no need to hide this matter.
However, Gu Yu didn’t want Gu Mengyao to be involved, thinking of handling all of it himself.
In this way, Bai Qian would only be displeased with him…
Anyway, Gu Yu didn’t want to enter the government as an official.
Even if Bai Qian was displeased with him, it wouldn’t be a big deal. At most, he would just avoid Bai Qian in the future.
But Gu Mengyao was different.
That’s why Gu Yu didn’t let Gu Mengyao know in advance and colluded with Xi Yang to do the bad deeds.
“A’yu, although I know you are doing this for my own good, because you didn’t inform me, I have now become one of your accomplices.”
“???”
“Just now, at the main gate of the Gu Residence, I scared away those aggressive people with my long spear. Now, they’ve probably gone to the Imperial Palace and are crying to Empress Bai Qian!”
“…”
Gu Yu had thought of countless scenarios, but he never expected such a development.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
When Bai Qian sent someone over, it would be best for him not to put forward any harsh conditions.
Otherwise, according to Gu Yu’s original plan… he was still thinking of making those ministers give up all their savings…
Now it was all in vain!
“Originally, I should advise you to quit while you’re ahead. But the thought that those people wanted to send my father to prison makes me furious!”
“Wife, you…”
“A’yu, whatever you want to do, just do it. Don’t hesitate because of me! With the current situation in Lifeng Kingdom, Empress Bai Qian would not dare to do anything to me, don’t worry!”
Even though Gu Yu didn’t directly express his thoughts, Gu Mengyao accurately guessed what he was thinking.
Then, hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curved upwards.
This little wife of his was truly too thoughtful!
