Chapter 71 Weakness

Gu Jin remained lost in thought for a long time, staring in the direction where the Duke of Anguo's carriage had gone.

Inside the carriage, Xu Feng stared at his young master, who was so astonished he couldn't close his mouth.

"Young Master, are you serious? You should know that if you marry Miss Gu, you won't be able to leave the Duke of Anguo's mansion smoothly. What's the point of everything you've done all these years?"

Yes, everything he has done over the years has been for that goal, but he still acted impulsively just now.

Because of her, he impulsively almost abandoned his plans of so many years.

"Don't worry, Marquis Yi'an will not marry a daughter to a cripple like me."

Luo Yu spoke nonchalantly, as if he had long been certain that the Gu family would not agree to marry their daughter to him.

But in my mind, I couldn't help but think of another answer.

If Gu Jin agrees to marry his daughter to him, will he try to let go of his hatred and everything he carries, and live a normal life like everyone else, with his wife and son?

As it turned out, he couldn't. His mother's revenge was still unavenged, and those demons from the Duke of Anguo's mansion were still alive. How could he be willing to let them go so easily?

Moreover, if he were to actually marry Gu Shuyan, he would be truly leading her into a pit of fire.

Luo Yu's ever-changing expression was completely concealed behind his mask. Xu Feng watched him remain silent, unsure of what his young master was thinking. However, it was clear that his young master had truly fallen for the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion.

A man like his young master is destined from birth to have no ties, yet today, for the sake of this Miss Gu, Luo Yu first broke his rule by leaving the manor, and then said those words to Marquis Yi'an.

As the young master's personal bodyguard, Xu Feng would never allow his young master to have any weaknesses, so this Miss Gu must not live.

Master and servant returned to the Duke of Anguo's mansion, each with their own thoughts. Luo Yu had no idea that Gu Jin, after returning to his study, would actually seriously consider his words.

Although Gu Jin tried his best to ignore the rumors circulating outside these days, they still occasionally reached his ears.

Because of Gu Shuyan's outrageous behavior at the Marquis of Jinning's residence, she has now become a daughter-in-law candidate that everyone in the capital avoids. After all, no family wants to marry a woman skilled in slaughter.

Luo Yu was clearly different. Not only was he disabled, but his behavior in the capital was also quite strange.

Gu Jin wasn't worried that such a person would look down on his daughter. Besides, judging from his behavior just now, Luo Yu was clearly very polite. Such a person couldn't be too bad, no matter how bad he was.

Moreover, he is the heir of the Duke of Anguo's mansion and the emperor's own nephew, a status that many people envy but cannot attain.

Unbeknownst to Gu Jin, he actually thought that having Luo Yu as his son-in-law wasn't so bad.

However, he couldn't tell the old lady and Madam Ji about this idea for the time being. If they found out, he was afraid he would be in trouble.

Meanwhile, in a private residence outside the city, a man in black was reporting to the man in the main seat: "Master, the Gu family has invited several doctors to examine the patient today, but they are still helpless."

The man leaned back casually in his chair, swirled the wine in his glass, and after a long while said, "I understand, you may leave!"

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately vanished from his spot, and only then did the man leisurely drink the wine in his cup.

The next day, the door of the Gu residence was knocked on early in the morning, and then a young man as fast as the wind darted into the backyard of the Marquis's residence.
