Chapter 167 168. Calculation

Gu Lejia: "..." This is different from what I thought. Uncle Seventh should not be this kind of person.

Jin Qianqian saw that she was given the cold shoulder again and realized that she was the one being blamed again.

She glared back at him, really confused. How could a young man who seemed quite honest before change so much after just one trip?

Gu Wenheng tapped him with his hand, "With your brain, you should just go back and farm with your parents. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Chen is a decent man and didn't scare you into signing a contract to sell yourself, would you still be thinking about this?"

Ancient Music House, "..."

Gu Wenheng didn't want to pay any more attention to him after he finished speaking, and pointed to one of the guest rooms, "You stay there tonight and think about it carefully."

Ancient Music House, "..."

Seeing his silly look, Gu Wenheng shook his head and turned away with Jin Qianqian.

"What choice do you think the Le family will make?" Jin Qianqian asked curiously as soon as she entered the room.

Gu Wenheng, "He has reached puberty, and we need to see if he can figure it out. But I still hope he can go back."

Jin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I guess that kid now thinks that I am the one who made you unwilling to help him."

Gu Wenheng sneered, "He may look young, but he is quite cunning.

But he will probably fail this time. I am not that easy to trick."

"Calculation," Jin Qianqian stroked her chin, then widened her eyes, "This is a conspiracy and a conspiracy. No matter what you do, you won't get any good results?"

Gu Wenheng, “I guess he has been planning since the moment he met you.

I didn't expect that my eldest brother, who is so honest, would raise such a cunning boy.

They are just some clever tricks, but unfortunately they are not used in the right way. "

If they don't help him to be with Xiuniang, the Gu Le family will have an excuse not to leave Haicheng, and neither Gu Wenheng nor Jin Qianqian will be in a good situation.

If he goes back empty-handed, Gu Le's words will be empty talk, and his family will think that he, as an uncle, is reluctant to spend the money to help his nephew get married.

If they gave up those few dozen taels, Gu Lejia could marry a wife directly here and go back to face the accusations of his parents. He would be able to have an easier time because he still had his uncle and aunt to support him.

As for bringing Chen Dongjia here, although Chen Dongjia had his own ideas, as an elder, Gu Wenheng had to accept the life-saving grace on his behalf.

Jin Qianqian patted his back sympathetically, "What now? What do you want him to choose?"

Gu Wenheng, "He can choose whatever he wants. I'm his uncle, not his father."

"Prince, isn't it time to go to the academy?" Ye Yi reminded.

"It's time to pay a visit, otherwise our excuse for this trip won't work." Bai Jinglie put down the book in his hand, "Go prepare a gift, and we'll visit the dean early tomorrow morning."

"What about the other two gentlemen? Should we notify them as well?"

"By the way, let's invite them. Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone. Let them exercise every day to prevent them from gaining weight here."

Ye Yi received the order and went out. Then Bai Jinglie stood by the window and looked at the moon outside. Although there were many opportunities in Haicheng, he could not accomplish anything alone.

Looking in the direction of the academy, Bai Jinglie fell into deep thought.

"Really? Are you sure your master is right?" Shan Ke'an scratched his head vigorously, "If I wanted to go to school, why would I follow him all the way here?

Your master knows that the stairs of Yingshan Academy will kill me, so just say that I am not feeling well and cannot accompany you tomorrow."

"You go and tell the prince in person. I also have to inform Master Lu. Please do as you please." Ye Yi immediately turned around and left.

Shan Ke'an, who stayed where he was, said, "..."

Lu Ping who got the news, "..." I came here to seek refuge, I don’t have any intention of making progress!

At daybreak, Gu Wenheng knocked on the door of Gu Le's resting room.

"Uncle Qi, why are you up so early?" Gu Lejia rubbed his still sleepy eyes. Even if he was a helper in Chen Dong's house, he didn't have to get up so early.

"I still have to go to the academy. After a night, have you thought it through?"

“…”

Gu Wenheng, "If you want to go back, I can settle this matter later."

"Uncle Qi, you need help here, too. How about I stay here and help you run some errands."

Gu Wenheng rolled his eyes at him. "I, your seventh uncle, dare not order you around. Besides, I am currently studying with a teacher at the academy, so I don't have much to do. If you don't want to go back, I will write you a letter of divorce and tell your parents about your current situation. This will be considered as fulfilling my responsibilities as an uncle."

Gu Lejia, "Seventh Uncle doesn't care about me anymore?"

Gu Wenheng, "How do you want me to control you? Although I am your uncle, I am only a few years older than you. If you want to listen to me, I will arrange for someone to send you back."

Gu Lejia, "But Xiuniang..."

Gu Wenheng didn't want to dwell on this matter. "That's your own business. I don't have time to bother with you now. Just write a letter or send a message back."

Under Gu Wenheng's stare, Gu Lejia couldn't help but panic, "Is there a third option?"

Gu Wenheng shook his head, "No."

Gu Lejia bit her lip and said, "Then I won't choose either of them. Uncle Qi won't have to take care of my affairs in the future."

Gu Wenheng, "Unless you are like your uncle, you should be removed from the family directly."

"Removed?" Gu Lejia suddenly looked up at Gu Wenheng, "Why was Uncle Yao removed from the list?"

Gu Wenheng sneered and briefly recounted the story of Gu Yuanlei's marriage. "Your uncle hasn't even entered another family yet, but he's already trying to scheme against his own family. Do you think the family can tolerate such a person?"

Gu Lejia's face froze. He felt that something was not right about what Uncle Qi said.

"Not that serious?"

Gu Wenheng smiled at him and said, "Since you think so, then everything is up to you."

"Wait!" Just as Gu Wenheng was about to turn around and leave, Gu Lejia spoke.

"Uncle Qi, please help me write a letter and tell my parents that when I become a man of character, I will go home to be filial to them."

Gu Wenheng nodded and reminded him, "I didn't tell you yesterday that we rented this house. After early spring, we will move back."

"Uncle Qi, aren't you studying at Yingshan Academy here?"

Gu Wenheng stretched out a finger and shook it, "No, we are just here to study. Because of our dean's relationship, we are able to study here for a short period of time. When the time is up, we still have to return to our own academy."

Gu Lejia was completely confused. This was different from what he had expected.

I thought Uncle Seven had settled down here, but I didn’t expect it to be for such a reason. The difference is too big.
