Chapter 62 – Father of the Child, You Must Work Hard
“Master, Master, it’s bad! Master Lu is kneeling at the main gate, attracting a lot of onlookers!”
“Also, Master Wang is shouting for the Master to come out, or he will smash his head to death in front of the Gu Residence gate.”
“Minister Zhou spat blood and fainted at the main gate!”
On this day, Gu Yu, who was with Mengyao Gu, was truly unable to rest for a moment. Maids and servants appeared before him one after another, reporting the situation at the Gu Residence main gate.
Originally, these matters were handled by his father-in-law, Gu Qing, and it was not Gu Yu’s turn to manage them.
However, after hearing that Mengyao Gu was pregnant, Gu Qing began to prepare gifts for his future grandson or granddaughter with the mindset of becoming a maternal grandfather.
As for the ministers who came to confess their offenses, he had no time to deal with them.
Thus, the maids and servants who originally reported to Gu Qing now started reporting to Gu Yu.
This annoyed Gu Yu greatly, as he thought that these people were not important now; the most important things were his little wife and future child.
What did he care if they lived or died!
“A’yu, it’s time to let those people return to normal. If we drag this on any longer, I’m afraid there will be a risk to their lives.”
After the maids and servants had retreated, Mengyao Gu held Gu Yu’s hand and spoke, wanting to persuade Gu Yu not to continue bothering those people.
According to the original plan, Gu Yu would have dealt with those ministers long ago.
However, because Mengyao Gu was suddenly pregnant, Gu Yu had no time to manage others. He spent all day hovering around Mengyao Gu, even more anxious than the pregnant Mengyao Gu.
Seeing this, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that her little husband must also be very anxious!
After all, it was their first time being parents, and they were bound to be uneasy before the arrival of a new life!
“Hmph, I know you’re saying this for that woman Bai Qian! Wife, you care so much about others, I’m going to be jealous.”
When Gu Yu heard Mengyao Gu’s words, he immediately put on a wronged expression and went straight to Mengyao Gu, pouting his lips, looking unhappy.
He looked just like a child whose candy had been snatched away…
This made Mengyao Gu extremely helpless, thinking that her little husband was not suitable for such an appearance, it always gave her goosebumps!
Compared to these cute expressions, the cold and ruthless or gentle and smiling modes looked more accustomed and comfortable.
“Empress Bai Qian is my benefactor, so naturally I have to consider her! However, these ministers will not have a good ending. You can’t kill all of them directly now… Before, Her Majesty the Empress had already written to me, stating that once suitable talents are recruited through the imperial examinations, none of the ministers who sent people to pursue us will be spared.”
Knowing that her little husband was jealous, Mengyao Gu quickly spoke to appease him.
Although Mengyao Gu did not want to let these people off so easily, it was not likely that she could kill all of them at the moment. She could only kill some of them at most.
In that case, it would be better to wait a while longer.
When Empress Bai Qian had recruited enough personnel, all these ministers who were no longer useful could be executed without any problem.
Mengyao Gu chose the latter option, preparing to let Empress Bai Qian deal with these people.
She chose this not entirely because she trusted Empress Bai Qian, but because Mengyao Gu did not want her little husband to get into too much trouble.
Although Gu Yu was very powerful, at this moment in the capital, Gu Yu’s spatial abilities could not be used casually. If a large number of killers were to be summoned… if the space could not be used in a timely manner, the ultimate price would be life.
Therefore, Mengyao Gu did not wish for Gu Yu to encounter any accidents!
Using the excuse of being pregnant, she could keep Gu Yu by her side, and he would be very safe!
Even though she was pregnant, Mengyao Gu could guarantee that Gu Yu would not be harmed in the slightest.
Besides, Gu Yu had also said during his examination… as long as the critical period of early pregnancy was over, there would not be too much problem with practicing martial arts later on, but for safety’s sake, it was still best to practice martial arts that would not put too much burden on his body.
Of course, another reason for wanting to keep Gu Yu by her side was that Mengyao Gu wanted Gu Yu to spend more time with her.
It was really annoying to always be adjusting gunpowder!
“Bai Qian actually said that. It seems she has made a great decision! Well, I’ll go and deal with these annoying matters this afternoon. Let them pay the compensation first, lest Bai Qian confiscates everything.”
Afterward, when Gu Yu heard that Bai Qian had made a concession, he didn’t say much more.
If he had to do it alone, he really couldn’t kill so many people in a short period of time, so it was more convenient and faster to let Bai Qian handle it.
Soon, Gu Yu made up his mind.
However, the words that came out of his mouth made the corners of Mengyao Gu’s mouth turn slightly upwards.
As expected of the Gu Yu she knew, his methods of accumulating wealth were first-class!
She wondered if Empress Bai Qian had thought of this too… If she had, and still let Gu Yu accumulate wealth, it might be because the appearance of gunpowder made Empress Bai Qian realize that Linfeng Kingdom possessed a divine artifact.
As long as Gu Yu was in Linfeng Kingdom, gunpowder would become Linfeng Kingdom’s greatest reliance.
No enemy country that wanted to invade Linfeng Kingdom could withstand the power of a gunpowder explosion.
Therefore, possessing such an important secret recipe for gunpowder manufacturing, Gu Yu had become a golden goose in Bai Qian’s eyes.
Naturally, she would dote on him and give him all the convenience.
For such a development, although she felt very sorry for Empress Bai Qian’s high regard, Mengyao Gu felt an inexplicable happiness in her heart.
Her little husband was no ordinary person; Mengyao Gu had known this long ago.
However, in the beginning, it was due to various helplessness that he became the son-in-law of the Gu family, and this identity caused Gu Yu to be talked about by others outside.
This made Mengyao Gu very uncomfortable. She wanted to clarify but didn’t know what to say.
In the end, it was Gu Yu who spoke a few words of persuasion, stating that he did not care about these empty titles.
Compared to the gossip of the crowd, he valued the care of those around him more.
Thus, how could Mengyao Gu not like Gu Yu, who was so gentle to her~
“Since Empress Bai Qian isn’t going to do anything, then, Father of the Child, you must work hard and earn the milk money for the child!”
“Mother of the Child, don’t worry! I will work hard to earn money and support you both!”
Then, listening to Mengyao Gu’s encouragement, Gu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, and then responded in kind.
This made the two of them exchange a look, both smiling, and holding hands, their hearts were exceptionally joyful.
Having someone to accompany each other made them happier than anything else.
However, there was still one more thing…
“A’yu, wait a little longer, and let’s do something happy together~”
Smiling at Gu Yu, Mengyao Gu said softly with a blush, which made Gu Yu’s expression freeze when he heard it.
After reacting, looking at his cute little wife, he really didn’t know what to do.
Since his little wife was so proactive, he couldn’t lag behind either!
