452 Go back to the countryside!
The little Qu family is still very convinced of the family. The two of them have been together over the years. After the family is separated, the old Qu family has nothing to tear them up. So the relationship is okay. After contacting more, they will get to know each other more. Yu doesn’t talk much, but just smiles at you. Once you speak, it must be right.
Besides, she admires Gu An and Tang. It is rare to be able to make official positions like this. Both of them have the ability and are difficult to deal with, but at the same time they are the most sensible, not the kind of villain who takes action behind the scenes.
The two sisters-in-law walked slowly back. As soon as they reached the yard where Yu lived, they heard the servants coming to report that Gu Shuyu had returned and was still sitting in Gu An's carriage.
The two looked at each other and felt something was wrong, so they immediately turned around and rushed to the door.
The two of them are walking faster, but there is one more person who is faster than them.
Every person who welcomes Gu Shuyu is Gu Feng, who wants to leave the mansion.
"What are Feng'er doing? If there is nothing important, go back with my father. I have something important to say."
Gu Feng rolled his eyes and said respectfully to Gu Shuyu: "Yes, it's nothing. I'm just going out for a walk. My father has something to say, and my son will go back now."
Gu Shuyu nodded, and the father and son stepped in again.
Yu and Qu looked at each other, and they followed the father and son respectfully and went back.
When Gu Shuyu learned that Gu Huai had fainted, he said nothing, but a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his already aged face added a bit of gray.
After Gu Huai woke up, he was called to Rong'an Hall by Gu Shuyu.
As soon as he entered Rong'an Hall, Gu Huai hurried to Gu Shuyu, "Father, the emperor has issued an order to seize the title of our Dingyuan Hou Mansion. You should think of a solution, but you can't let the emperor take the title back like this! We did nothing wrong, why should we take back the title of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion? If we really want to take it back, how can our Gu family gain a foothold in the capital in the future? Father, go find Gu An and ask him to tell us about it and return the title to us."
Gu Shuyu sat calmly on the collapse and waved his hand, "I know this. I wrote a letter to the emperor in the morning court today. Everything is necessary to seize the title, so you don't need to say more."
Gu Shuyu said this and was shocked all over the room. Everyone looked at Gu Shuyu in disbelief, unable to believe that they heard the truth just now.
"Dad, why?"
Gu Huai stared at Gu Shuyu in grief and anger, wanting to find a reason for him.
Gu Shuyu glanced at Gu Huai, "Why don't you know yet? You really think no one knows it when you threaten Gu An to give up the title of Duke Dingguo. You are too young and have too few people. There are secret guards in every prefecture in the capital. How can there be few royal secret guards?
The Dragon Guards are everywhere in the capital. Not to mention the city, even the Dragon Guards are monitoring the capital. What we said yesterday will be on the emperor's desk this morning. If the emperor knows, he will let you go?
I do this for your own good. For my father, I use the title of Dingyuan Hou Mansion to exchange for your life.”
Gu Huai took two steps back in shock and sat on the chair. He looked at Gu Shuyu in amazement, tears flashing in his eyes.
"Dad, you went to ask for it personally? The emperor agreed? Didn't the emperor attach great importance to Gu An? How could he agree? Gu An went out of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, he is a member of the Gu family. What benefits would Gu An have to do if he crossed Dingyuan Hou Mansion? No, I don't believe it, you are lying to me, you are all lying to me."
Gu Huai was already in a semi-crazy state, and he suddenly stood up and was about to walk out.
"stop."
Gu Shuyu shouted loudly, then stood up and stopped Gu Huai.
Gu Shuyu looked straight into Gu Huai's eyes and asked, "Where are you going? Go to find Gu An or go to the palace to find the emperor? You don't have to think about the emperor, you can't see the emperor, your current identity is a civilian, and you are not qualified to see the emperor. You don't have to think about Gu An, even if Gu An has been divided, his good or bad has nothing to do with us, and has nothing to do with Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Even if everyone here dies, Gu An is still the Duke of Dingguo. These are all earned by himself and are what he should have.
Gu Huai, don’t forget, how did you force Gu An to separate the family? If you hadn’t been doing endlessly with your mother, would Gu An be so cold that he would be separated? If you could have treated him sincerely at that time, would he still be today?
Gu Huai, what are you looking for Gu An? How have you treated him over the years? You don’t know what you have done to him?
I wondered, what did you think? Since childhood, you have been scolding him, and you have done many times in the winter. Do you really think I don’t know? At that time, I thought Gu An was not doing well. You are the legitimate son of Gu Shuyu, so you never punished you, but you have even tried to deal with him more and more, looking for every opportunity to kill him. Just like that, you still want him to treat you well? You still want him to count his lifelong achievements on your head? Where did you come from? Do you have the ability to bear the title of Duke Ding? Are you good at martial arts or arrange troops? Can you go to the front line or lead the team to kill the enemy? You can do nothing, why do you need Gu An’s military merits?
I had already said yesterday that the title of Duke Ding was from Gu An, who earned it back with his life. He could not give it up. Even if he wanted to give it up, you never thought about the emperor? The title was given by the emperor, and the emperor could take it back even if he could give it up.
The emperor did not grant him the Duke of the Gu family's sake, but Gu An had the ability to do that position. The emperor valued Gu An, not you, Gu Huai. Even if Gu An agreed, the emperor could take back his title immediately, and he would have to take your and Gu An's lives. A charge of despising the imperial power is enough for you to behead him."
Gu Shuyu persuaded Gu Huai with great sincerity, and wanted to curse him to wake him up with regret, but Gu Shuyu's words were in vain because Gu Huai had already penetrated into a dead end and could not get out.
"No, it's impossible. The emperor cannot treat our Gu family like that. Our Gu family is a hero of the founding of the country. We have made great contributions..."
Seeing that Gu Huai was about to say something ruthless, Gu Shuyu immediately stepped forward and covered Gu Huai's mouth tightly.
"Shut up if you don't want to die! If you want to die, go find a place where no one can die, don't implicate the whole family.
Gu Huai, let me tell you for your father that I will give up Gu An’s idea of giving up his title, otherwise you will have no way to die.
Gu An was just when the emperor was attracted to him, and the emperor would never allow anyone to block Gu An's path.
To put it bluntly, Gu An is the emperor's confidant. Gu An's position in the emperor's heart is more important than all the ministers standing in the court. Not to mention you, even if there are more than a dozen or twenty ministers jointly attacking Gu An, the emperor can close his eyes and 'crack' those people, let alone you, a small seventh-rank, no, you are a civilian now."
After Gu Shuyu finished speaking, he let go of Gu Huai. He stared at Gu Huai, for fear that he would say something else that would make the emperor destroy their whole family.
Gu Huaimu stood there blankly, looking at the patterns on the door curtain with his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Shuyu sighed and sat back on his original position.
"Will the emperor still keep you alive when you know what you threatened Gu An? As long as the emperor moves his fingers, you will die without a place to bury him.
As a father, I had no choice but to think of using a title to exchange for your life. If you lose your title, you can earn it again. If you lose your life, you will lose nothing."
Gu Huai closed his eyes as Gu Shuyu spoke. He held the folding fan tightly in his hand without saying a word. His straight back bent slightly, like an eggplant made of frost.
"You and Feng'er are so angry, and your children and grandchildren are... Oh! What should you say to your father? It's all my fault. I didn't teach you well, so you have reached this point today.
Forget it, we can't stay in the capital. Let's go packing up our things, go back to our hometown, go back to our hometown to buy some fields and shops, and cultivate our minds and nature in our hometown. With Gu An in the capital, as long as we work hard, we will definitely have a chance to come back.
Gu An is not a ruthless person. He didn't even say he could take revenge on you to him. With this alone, he wouldn't let us ignore it."
Gu Shuyu is still very confident in this regard. Gu An is loyal and will repay all kindness. Moreover, they are a family. As long as they do not target Gu An in the future, they live in their hometown honestly without being held back, Gu An will still be concerned about the love of the Gu family.
Gu Huai didn't say anything, and hurriedly left Rong'antang after Gu Shuyu finished speaking.
Gu Feng frowned as Gu Huai was leaving, and turned his face to look at Gu Shuyu.
"Dad, are we really going back to our hometown?"
Gu Shuyu looked up at Gu Feng, "What? Don't you want to go back?"
Gu Feng's eyes were vague and he didn't dare to look at Gu Shuyu, but he still said, "Well, I want to stay here."
Gu Shuyu sneered, "What are you doing here? Do you want to help King Rui fight for the throne? Or do you want to drag Gu An into the water? Or do you want to continue to be a spy for King Duan?
Gu Feng, your tricks are unsatisfactory. Do you think no one knows what you said? I can see clearly, what about the others?
Gu Feng, I warn you for your father that you should not get involved in the fight for the throne. If you don’t take action, you will have no way back. Once you take action, there is only one way to die.
The secret guards in Gu An’s hand are not vegetarians, and the secret guards of other families are not given for free. The emperor’s dragon guards are spread all over the world. There is nothing the emperor knows in the capital. Just your affairs can’t even hide them, let alone other people.”
Gu Feng looked at Gu Shuyu in shock when he heard this, "Dad!"
Gu Feng didn't expect that Gu Shuyu actually knew his background. Didn't he care about anything? Didn't he care about anything? He didn't have secret guards available in his hands, so how could he know?
My father knows, what about the others? Is it true that everyone knows as my father said?
Where is King Rui? Does anyone else know that King Rui know? If he knows, will he kill me?
Gu Feng's heart frowned and his brows frowned.
Gu Shuyu sneered, "Gu Feng, your little cleverness can fool the four princes. It's not that you look down on you for your father, you are not qualified to get involved in the battle for the throne. Your weight is not enough, so you can only be famous in front of King Rui and have a little bit of place in King Duan's heart. This is because you are Gu An's younger brother and have a value of use.
Don't worry, King Rui doesn't know your background yet, but one day he will know. If he knows one day, think about it, what would you do?
Also, if you want to serve two masters, you have to see if you have the ability to hide it from the world. At least you don’t have the ability to do it yet.”
After Gu Shuyu finished speaking, he ignored him and took a step forward to Rong'antang.
Gu Feng looked at Gu Shuyu's back unwillingly and began to think about what to do in the future.
Where is his way? He cannot let go of King Duan because he is the most likely person to take up the throne. He made great efforts on King Duan, just to one day he could gain a foothold in the capital by relying on the dragon's merit, not relying on the Dingyuan Hou Mansion or the Gu family, so that he could have a place in the court.
But there are two sides to things. If Duan cannot become an emperor, then Duan will be the most likely King Rui who will be surrendered to, because King Rui's mind is better than Duan, and his ruthlessness is no worse than that of Gu Yan, so King Rui has to be hanged. If he ascends to the throne, he can also be regarded as his confidant.
If this is the case, then he cannot leave the capital. The capital is where he develops, and this is his stage.
Gu Feng gritted his teeth, and a trace of evil flashed in his eyes where Yu and Xiao Qu did not see it.
Since you can't leave, you have to think of a way.
My father insisted on leaving, but the boss's idiot was unreliable. Now he can only rely on himself.
After Gu Feng understood it, he let out a long sigh, turned around and said to the little Qu, "I have something to do and I have to go out first. If my father asks, I will say I'm going to attend the poetry meeting."
Little Qu looked at Gu Feng's smile and felt cold inexplicably. He nodded quickly, "Okay, don't worry, my father asked me, I know how to answer."
Gu Feng nodded with satisfaction and turned and left.
After Gu Feng left, Little Qu breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she always felt that her husband's eyes were not right just now, and she felt like she was being targeted by a wolf after facing him.
Little Qu sat back again. She glanced at Yu and sat quietly with her.
On this day, Yu was shocked by the various news at home. He didn't know what to do now, so he could only sit on the chair and digest it for a while. Therefore, he didn't notice that Little Qu did not leave. It was not until the sound of the tea bowl beside him fell to the ground that Yu came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
Little Qu accidentally broke the tea bowl because of something in his heart, and shocked Yu, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
Little Qu smiled and said, "It's okay, I just didn't let it go."
Mrs. Yu glanced at the tea bowl on the ground and looked at Mrs. Qu with clarity, "I understand."
You can't accept it either.
When Xiao Qu heard this, she suddenly felt that Yu Shi was really good. She could understand what she was thinking, and she didn't need to say it.
The little Qu suddenly smiled bitterly at Yu, "Sister-in-law, are we going to separate?"
Yu was stunned, and then a reluctance flashed in his eyes.
Although he knew this was the truth, Yu still patted the back of his little Qu's hand, "No, we are a family, how can the family be separated?"
Unexpectedly, Yu's words came true. Not only did Gu Shuyu, Gu Huai, Gu Feng fail to take them out of the capital, they did not separate until they died.
