"Yes..." The butler took the opportunity of bowing to wipe the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "No... Fourth Madam, Master... Master said before, you..."

Gu Shaoyong couldn't help but frown. Although the butler's words were hesitant and unclear, based on his understanding of the old man, he knew that what he could say was nothing more than the same old clichés. He immediately said coldly, "No matter what the old man said, you can shut up and leave. I will take full responsibility for what the old man said."

Gu Chonghu had always placed high hopes on Gu Shaoyong, so even though he went against Gu Chonghu's wishes and insisted on marrying Zhou Huiyu, Gu Chonghu's feelings for him did not change much.

They had lost their temper with him, suppressed him, and even when he abandoned politics to go into business (in despair), they never gave up on him. As Gu Chonghu's confidant, the butler naturally knew this.

If nothing unexpected happens, the head of the Gu family will be the Fourth Master in the future.

Not to mention now, even during the time when Gu Shaoyong abandoned politics for business, the butler never dared to underestimate him in the slightest. Not to mention now, Gu Shaoyong is doing very well in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has been personally appointed by His Majesty the King as the King's spokesperson. While the old man is annoyed that Gu Shaoyong refused to follow his arrangements to take up a position in the military, he can't help but feel secretly proud.

So, although the old man was once again furious that Gu Shaoyong had skipped the family gathering without consulting him first because of Zhou Huiyu, he was more angry at Zhou Huiyu than at Gu Shaoyong.

Therefore, even though Gu Chonghu had spoken and said that Zhou Huiyu was not allowed to step into the house, the butler did not dare to actually stop her.

Moreover, Gu Shaoyong also said that he would take full responsibility.

So, after Gu Shaoyong finished speaking, the butler wiped his sweat, bowed, and withdrew.

Anyway, he did try to stop them, but he just couldn't.

Even when the master is angry, he will only give him a minor punishment as a warning.

It's better than actually offending the Fourth Master.

The butler left, but Gu Shaoyong couldn't help but hold Zhou Huiyu's hand and say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

"Mm." Zhou Huiyu nodded, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Gu Shaoyong and said, "With you here, of course I'm not afraid." Besides, a mother's love makes her strong. For Yunduo's sake, she would even put herself in endless dangers. So what's more, she's just facing an angry old man.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time; the old man never hid his dislike for me.

Zhou Huiyu is already used to it. Even if it gets a little more serious, it won't bother her.

Although the steward retreated in a disheveled manner, the news that the Fourth Master and Fourth Madam had returned together was actually reported to Gu Chonghu by the servants.

Gu Chonghu, who was originally in his study, now sat in the hall, deliberately keeping a serious expression on his face and staring intently at the front door.

Upon seeing Gu Shaoyong appear at the door, Gu Chonghu let out a heavy snort and coldly rebuked, "You still know how to come back? Do you even respect me as your father? Do you even respect the rules of the Gu family? Do you really think that just because you have His Majesty the King as your backer, I can't do anything to you?"

Gu Shaoyong's face also turned cold, and he said with sarcasm, "Of course you can't do anything to me. You are a general of China, a powerful figure in the military, with students and old friends all over the southwest. Isn't it an easy thing for you to deal with a disobedient son?"
