As the youngest Heavenly Master since the establishment of the Guiyi Sect, Gu Lingze transmigrated on his way back to his sect.
His family was penniless, and he had a pair of younger siblings...
So the Shen family didn't even have a meal and decided to go to Gu Lingze's farm to "ask for an explanation."
Uncle Xu's family and Gu Lingze's siblings can now be called a family of six. After busying themselves these two days, they have finally cleaned up the house and are ready to move in.
Moving in the countryside requires burning the bottom of the pot. It's already late today, so we plan to do it tomorrow morning.
The family was happily sitting around a table preparing to have dinner when they heard a series of knocks on the door.
Jin Zi was about to open the door but was stopped by Gu Lingze. When he heard the voice, he knew that the person was up to no good.
After opening the door, the Shen family was stunned——
Gu Lingze was tall and slender, wearing a light blue straight-collared robe and a wide belt with auspicious cloud patterns of the same color around his waist. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with silver thread flowing cloud patterns.
Her whole body was fair and smooth, which only highlighted her black, shiny and smooth hair.
His handsome appearance revealed an innate nobility, which made the Shen family members standing at the door look so humble.
Shen Liang rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was dazzled.
Shen Si's family all felt that the person standing inside the door now seemed to be a young master of some noble family. His whole demeanor was completely different from before, which was unbelievable.
"Dog..." Shen Si's mother was about to speak when she suddenly saw Gu Lingze's eyes sharpen, and she felt a little weak for some reason.
There was a rumor in the village that Gouzi was no longer stupid and had his own name, Gu Lingze.
He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Young man from the Gu family, today our family is here to take Jinzi and Lingzi away. We were busy with Shen Si's funeral a while ago and didn't take care of the two little ones. Thank you for taking care of them. Now I will..."
Before she finished her words, Aunt Tao walked to the door and started cursing.
"You, a woman from the Shen family, still have the nerve to say this? Pah, it's so disgusting that it's killing me." Aunt Tao spat on the ground.
"How dare you say that about Shen Si? If you hadn't sold him to Sun Gui, would he have died? I think the county magistrate should have executed your entire family as well!"
Shen Si's mother was not a pushover. She couldn't bear it when she was spit on in the face.
He immediately yelled, "It's none of your business, wife. Your family is following others to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Do you really think you are so great? You are just eating what others have left!"
Aunt Tao was about to retort when she was stopped by Gu Lingze.
How could he not know what this family was thinking?
It's simply because he is now well off and is trying to extort some money using Jinzi and Lingzi as an excuse.
Gu Lingze's thin lips slowly opened into a teasing arc, his eyes coldly swept over the Shen family, and said: "Jinzi and Lingzi can't go with you, don't you just want money?"
When Shen Rong heard this, he realized that this was possible, his eyes lit up, and he squeezed forward.
"Brother Gu, that's too polite. We are from the same village. You helped me take care of our two little ones. We can't thank you enough. How can we ask you for money?"
"But I have a way to have the best of both worlds, you see..."
When the Shen family heard the previous words, they were about to speak, but were stopped by Shen Rong's look.
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what tricks they would come up with.
"Since this is a way to have the best of both worlds, tell me about it and let me have some reference for it."
Shen Rong's eyes brightened, and he rubbed his hands, suppressing his inner excitement.
I walked forward and said, "Brother Gu, the people on the farm have left now. Your family will definitely not be able to take care of so many fields. Since you have adopted Jinzi and Lingzi, we are all a family now."
"Why don't you rent all the land under your name to our Shen family? We will still pay you the rent every year according to the previous rent paid to the family at the head of the village, not a penny less. This way, we can repay you for taking care of Jinzi and Lingzi."
Gu Lingze laughed after hearing what he said, as if he had heard something very interesting.
When the Shen family saw him laughing, they also laughed along as if to show their support.
Gu Lingze wiped the tears from his eyes, pointed at the Shen family and said to Aunt Tao: "This is the first time I've seen a family standing in front of someone else's house dreaming in broad daylight. It's really interesting."
Shen Rong's face immediately fell, and he asked viciously: "What do you mean by this! Do you look down on our Shen family?"
Gu Lingze replied with a sneer on his face: "You, the Shen family, are qualified to negotiate terms with me. This is really ridiculous."
"Get out of here! You shameless thing." Uncle Xu and Xu Mingyan also came out, and Jinzi and Lingzi hid behind Xu Mingyan.
Lingzi cautiously stuck half of her head out, and was spotted by Shen Rong who was standing in front of her, who was about to pull Lingzi out.
Gu Lingze took his time and tapped his arm lightly. Shen Rong immediately felt his arm burning and the pain was unbearable.
He quickly withdrew his hand and rolled up his sleeves, but there was no mark on them.
But his arms remained raised horizontally and he couldn't put them down. He tried several times but his arms didn't move at all.
"What method did you use to harm me?" Shen Rong was shocked and shouted angrily at Gu Lingze.
"How dare you use witchcraft to harm others and steal other people's children? I will report you to the county government and punish you with exile!"
Ever since Zheng Yangping's family was convicted, everyone in the village who was watching the fun knew the content of the verdict, and the Shen family put it into practice.
"Hurry up and put your son's arm down! Otherwise you will be in trouble! Don't think that the county magistrate will side with you!" Shen Si's mother pointed at Gu Lingze and said ferociously.
Gu Lingze flicked his middle finger, and the Shen family had another person who couldn't put his arm down.
Shen Si's father didn't come, Shen Liang was a fool, and Shen Rong's wife was so scared that their scalps were numb. They wanted to run but couldn't.
"Go ahead and sue me if you have the guts. I, Gu Lingze, am here, waiting for you." After saying that, he and the Xu family turned around and walked into the house, slamming the door shut.
The county magistrate would not side with Gu Lingze, but he was afraid of Shen Si.
After Shen Si came to see him that night, County Magistrate Luo was scared to death. He already knew the whole cause and effect clearly, and was afraid that he could not help Shen Si to clear his name.
Since the Shen family was willing to run into the county magistrate's gun, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
After the Shen family made such a fuss, everyone except Gu Lingze lost their appetite.
Aunt Tao looked at Jinzi and Lingzi, her eyes were red, and she said, "The Shen family is a damn family. How dare they come to make trouble? Why didn't they come when Jinzi and Lingzi couldn't live anymore!"
Uncle Xu also sighed deeply.
Xu Mingyan waved to Jin Zi, asked him to come to him, and told him about this.
After listening to the teacher's words, Jinzi wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry. If the county magistrate doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for the Shen family, they will be very grateful. Now he takes the initiative to send it to the door, which saves the constables a lot of trouble."
Gu Lingze didn’t want to tell them about Shen Si possessing his concubine, so he just asked them to relax.
